Is it just me or…

Is it super weird that Amara had interactions with Dean, Cas, Crowley, Rowena, Lucifer, Metatron, Donatello, and Chuck… literally every recurring character, plus a few one time guest stars, and none with Sam? In one scene he bursts through the doors and she flings him across the room, and eventually he briefly takes the MoC and she takes it back, but at no time did they exchange words. Super weird when you consider: 

• Sam was largely responsible for Amara’s release
• He had promised Dean he would kill her since Dean couldnt
• Dean was the object of her desire, and Dean is the most important person to Sam

I know the writers overlook obvious things sometimes, but for all the writers and producers, and even J2 to overlook this, for an entire season, seems like more than an oversight. Like maybe there was a reason, that never got fleshed out? This is one of those things i wish would be asked at the conventions instead of “What’s the weirdest prank you have played on Misha?” and “How has fatherhood changed your lives?” Any theories beyond “The writers suck and hate Sam” are welcome. I’ve already stuffed that answer to a corner of my brain 🙂

Interesting, thanks for pointing out this awkwardness.

Oh BTW just want to remind you that Sam wasn’t the one who ignorantly took the Mark of Cain, bc “being poison”. Sam only tried to save Dean and well humanity against a new created Knight of Hell, hence pimped up über-demon. I know some viewers tend to forget this little, but very important detail. Saying if Dean wouldn’t have taken the MoC, than there would have been no Amara. Cause & Consequence. And this little detail pisses me off, bc the show runners deliberately dumbed Dean down for an actually incoherent and inconsistant story line.   

You know what pisses me off more?

People blaming Dean for Sam’s mistakes. To give an example, Sam goes off and kills humans and drinks demon blood and opens up the cage triggering the frigging apocalypse but people blame Dean for breaking in hell. As if breaking under torture is comparable to ego trip related decisions. (Are you one of those people? Was Dean too mean to Sam post-hell? Was he too bossy? Don’t be shy, let us know.)

Coming to your post, no, Dean isn’t responsible for the release of the darkness. Your cause and consequences are all fucked up and do not make sense. Dean had MoC under control, he wasn’t murdering people or drinking demon-blood, he was coping well with his curse. Dean was agreeable and transparent(unlike Sam in S4 I should say) and asked for Sam’s advice. Dean didn’t say that he wouldn’t consider any cures, he just specifically prohibited Sam from using the Book of the Damned as a cure. Because Book of the Damned was evil. EVIL.

Dean had time, years, maybe even decades before he would have turned evil. Sam had years to research, to come up with a viable, non-evil, non world-ending solution to cure Dean. But Sam, as usual, went and did the one thing Dean asked him to not to do and caused Charlie’s death in process. Sam lied to Dean and went behind his back and used black, evil magic. Magic that needed human sacrifice, no less. Sam didn’t believe in Dean, didn’t listen to him and in true Sam fashion did whatever the hell he wanted -consequences be damned.

So yes, Sam is completely responsible for the release of the darkness. Sam schemed behind Dean’s back, with the help of Cas and Crowley and Rowena, and Dean had zero idea. Dean taking Mark of Cain didn’t cause the release of the darkness, Sam’s actions did. So stop putting blame on Dean for Sam’s actions.
