20 things about Supernatural that I hold to be my own personal canon.
1. Dean knows how to play the guitar. Not particularly well or anything, considering he’s never had the room for one in the Impala or the time in between driving and hunting and hustling to practice. But he can play a few Beatles songs and a couple of random songs here and there, only half of which he’s not embarrassed to admit he taught himself.
2. Sam never told Jess that John was an abusive alcoholic but he never told her he wasn’t, either. John knew his muddied reputation among Sam’s friends and didn’t approve, but couldn’t be mad because he’s not sure he could have come up with a better excuse for the estrangement and Sam’s many scars.
3. Sam didn’t stop hunting at Stanford. He didn’t actually look for hunts but they always found him and he couldn’t ignore them.
He doesn’t think his family knows and wouldn’t tell either one of them.
Both Dean and John knew, assumed the other one didn’t, and wouldn’t have told on Sam to the other either.
4. When Sam left for Stanford, the only Winchester who got drunk in the aftermath was Sam. Upon his arrival in Palo Alto he bought a case of really cheap beer, went back to his crappy motel room, and drank so much he couldn’t stop throwing up the next day. It only took him another three years worth of barely finishing glasses of beer at parties and spring break for him to drink the equivalent of that one case of beer.
Dean and John, on the other hand, responded to the outcome of the fight by filling the trunk of the Impala with guns, heading out on the road and completing thirteen hunts in a one-month stretch. To this day that’s still a personal record.
5. Regardless of how they might have tried his patience at times John never could have picked a favorite between his boys.
Mary would have picked Dean.
6. Sam dated a guy at Stanford for a while but they weren’t open about it and it didn’t last long. He was the only guy in the art history class Sam signed up for with the intention of meeting girls. (Now that's a fic prompt if I've ever seen one. ;))
Dean considers himself straight and will deny that he’s ever found another guy hot, but secretly he’s not against experimenting and if Steve McQueen at his prime were put in front of him he’s not sure what the hell he’d do.
7. Dean is easier to get into bed but Sam is better in the sack.
On the other hand Sam may be the one more likely to get married but Dean is the one more likely to stay married.
8. Jess never thought as badly of Sam’s family as he thought she did. A guy like him couldn’t possibly have been raised by two irredeemable assholes.
9. Before John knew for sure what killed Mary, he had the passing thought a few times that whatever it was might be Sam’s biological father. It never changed his feelings for Sam, but a couple of times it made him rage at Mary’s spirit something fierce before calming down and realizing he didn’t have proof.
10. John told the boys he and Mary fell in love at first sight.
They didn’t. Mary thought he was a pig and he thought she was a snob. They bickered constantly for months before tensions came to a head and they finally went at it like bunny rabbits.
11. Dean fixates on the girl in the beer ad who became Carmen without remembering that he was in the ninth grade with her for a couple of months and made it to second base before they moved.
12. Dean is allergic to strawberries. John was allergic to shellfish. Sam isn’t allergic to anything.
13. Dean is more annoyed by vegetarians than he is by smokers. He gets taking on a vice but can’t wrap his brain around giving up meat.
Sam doesn’t eat half as healthy as fandom thinks he does but doesn’t eat half as badly as Dean does. He tries to get Dean to eat more fruit and Dean tries to get him to live off Cheetos and Mountain Dew, and they compromise somewhere in the middle.
They’ve never gone hungry. They might not have had a lot of choice in what they had to eat and might have had to deal with Top Ramen for a while, but they’re big healthy men who’ve never missed more than one meal.
14. Dean claims his favorite movie is The Great Escape. It’s actually While You Were Sleeping.
15. Sam’s realistic enough to believe neither one of them will ever have a chance at a normal life again.
Dean lives under the slim hope that after the Demon is killed Sam can go off and have a normal life doing … something. Anything. Stocking shelves, driving a taxi, whatever. He doesn’t expect to live through the final battle with the Demon.
16. When Dean was around John would hand-wave the subject of his younger son.
When he wasn’t John would go on about Sam’s academic career at length, sometimes without prompting, and could tell you the grades he got in every class and how pretty his girlfriend was.
He also always had a Stanford T-shirt, Henley or sweatshirt in his bag. He usually only wore them under other shirts or when no one would see them.
17. Dean is at the very least faintly empathic.
This whole demon situation is also just as much about Dean as it is about Sam.
18. Sam was too young to remember but Dean once talked John into letting him keep a mangy German shepherd puppy he found in a ditch. They had it for all of three days before a creature followed John home from an unsuccessful hunt and ate it.
Dean steered Sam away from wanting a pet from then on.
19. Sam and Dean have never once thought about fucking each other.
However, if a situation were to arise where they HAD to have to sex to save someone, neither one would argue or complain all that much.
20. The mysterious uncle who put up Mary’s tombstone was the Demon.
Not that he was their uncle. Just that he did it and that’s the story they’ve heard.
And maybe I'll do the Petrellis next, just 'cause. :)

Oh this is perfect! Yes, Sam would be better because he had a long term girlfriend who was comfortable enough with him to go "Hey, slim! What the hell are you doing down there?"
The marriage thing is so spot on because Dean is loyal to a fault and if he made a commitment he would stick to it.
I really liked

I agree on the first part of the statement. I'm up in the air about the second, but all I can say is 'ouch.' Poor Sam.
14. Dean claims his favorite movie is The Great Escape. It’s actually While You Were Sleeping.
Hah! I can buy that actually, because past the tough-guy exterior, Dean is a total marshmallow.
17. Dean is at the very least faintly empathic.
This whole demon situation is also just as much about Dean as it is about Sam.
Hmmm, not so sure about this. Perhaps we'll find out more in the finale?

Date: 2007-05-09 03:04 am (UTC)Seriously, who the hell started the thing with the salad?
no subject
Date: 2007-05-09 03:13 am (UTC)I just ... I don't even get the thing with the salads. I think people are mistaking "vegetarian" for "healthy". And as someone whose best friend is a vegetarian who smokes, packs in the junk food, and wonders why she weighs a good twenty-five pounds more than me ... er, no.
I mean, look at Jared. We've all seen the way HE eats. That man just casually takes two or three heaping styrofoam containers of food away from the craft services table at meals and it's not three containers worth of lettuce. Why would anyone think that that man eats everything in sight to maintain that body but another man with the same exact proportions and physique lives off salads?
no subject
Date: 2007-05-09 04:41 am (UTC)Every last one of them eats like a horse. Steaks and hamburgers and deep fried food. Double-sized helpings of double-sized portions and all other kinds of so called "manly" things. That's how they get and stay as big as they are. People who eat nothing but salad tend to get and/or stay on the smaller side.
And you're totally right; there is no reason to think that Sam looks the way he does by eating small-ass salads and Jared looks the exact same while wolfing down on the see food diet.

Date: 2007-05-09 04:14 am (UTC)... if Steve McQueen at his prime were put in front of him he’s not sure what the hell he’d do.
... is particularly awesome. Because, heh. Dean, honey, I don't care how straight you are, there is only one right answer to that question. *grabby hands*

I can see them finding it hilarious, actually. Makes me think of Dean patting Sam on the ass in, um, the episode with all the bugs.
"Ooh, baby, baby, give it to me now."
"If this spell fails because I'm laughing too hard, I will never talk to you again."
(I am supposed to be writing university papers. Would it be wrong of me to drink strawberry daiquiris and watch more SPN, instead?)
