Somebody Splain This to Me

[twasadark]

Why in the world do so many writers pair Sam and Gabriel?  Was there some connection between them that I missed?? Isn't Gabriel a shortypants?  I just can't get my head around the two of them ...

As for the rest of Supernatural, I'm YAY GLAD that hiatus is OVER, but I'm waiting for episodes that will blow me away. Last week's eppy wasn't that. It had its amusing moments, but there wasn't a whole lot of substance there. Ah, well. We'll see what next week brings.

I don't read fic, but Sam and Gabriel is not a pairing I would ship. I probably missed something also.

Seriously? Gabriel?

[maychorian.livejournal.com]

LOL, I dunno, I thought it was a crack ship and people shipped it for the lulz. My impression from canon is that Tricky McGee particular HATES Sam, not the opposite. I've read some pretty hilarious Sam/Gabriel fics, though.

Nods. That's how I feel. Oh and I don't get the Sam/Gabriel thing either. Why Sam and not Dean? After all, wasn't Dean all up on his face?

I've been so confused by that pairing as well. I thought I must have missed some pivotal scene or something.

*shaking my head*

I just figured fandom wanted Sam to have an angel since Dean was being paired with Cas. But isn't that what Lucifer is there for? *g*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Maybe people are so desperate for something to do with Sam now that there's lots of Dean/Castiel. Very very strange!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

That was TOTALLY my reaction, too!!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Okay, this is probably the best explanation I've seen! It actually makes sense, too. Hilarious, eh? Intentionally hilarious I hope, lol.

Sam/Gabriel confuses me too

Its like someone just slashed them together for the hell of it and then the pairing took off.

I dont get it or like it :(

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I guess Dean just has connections with too many people and Sam was getting left out in the cold, lol.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only confused one! LOL about Sam and Lucifer - now that pairing makes more sense, totally!

maychorian says that's pretty much what happened. I can't say I'm a fan of it, though!

I haven't seen anything past ep 5 of this season!! :O I'm too far behind!!

[maychorian.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally intentional, yeah. This is all about the crack, man. There was one where Gabriel wouldn't stop texting Sam until Sam starting texting him back, because he got bored of being the third wheel on the Dean/Castiel bike, something like that.

I also read one that was all about the incestuous double-dating, hahaha, which was Sam/Dean and Castiel/Gabriel out on the town for dinner. Intentionally hilarious, for sure. :D

WAT??? You gotta catch up, darlin! To heck with wedding plans! This is important stuff! LOL

[ldyghstwhisprer.livejournal.com]

*raises eyebrow* That is... hmmmm... just no... *hacks like a cat coughing up hairballs*

[kimmer1227.livejournal.com]

The episode? I really semi-loved it when it aired, but it doesn't hold up as well on rewatch. I still enjoyed it, but yeah, not much substance. Mostly, I'm so damn happy those boyz are back.

Sam/Gabriel? Really? At least he's not with Chuck. He's not is he? I'm behind on my slash.

Boop!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LMAO!!! My reaction exactly!

[ldyghstwhisprer.livejournal.com]

hahaha...

[sgrio.livejournal.com]

I started reading it for the lulz and it just sort of worked. Sam's angst and Gabriel's evil glee mesh wonderfully!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL - no, I don't think Sam/Chuck is a popular ship, thank God in heaven.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Really?

Oh, man! I do NOT want to get interested in reading Sam/Gabriel ....

[meiou-set.livejournal.com]

LOL fandom is so generous.

[rahmi.livejournal.com]

Meh, I assume it's because the Trickster had it "out for Sam" when they met previously? I don't know. I kind of want to say that people think Gabriel had a thing for Lucifer and now Sam reminds him of Lucifer?

I'M SURE I COULD COME UP WITH SOME TOTALLY CRACKED OUT WAY TO GET THEM TOGETHER. But I don't want to.

I want my Sam/Dean fic back. *sadface*

Thank you for asking this question! I've been seeing these stories, furrowing my brow at the link, but haven't have the courage (aka interest) to click...Some of the comments above have an explanation, but poor Sam, not a very sexy pairing, IMO, though I could be missing something...
