That last part of your meta about Sam/Eileen ripped my heart out. I thought I was getting numb to people dying on this show and Eileen Leahy shows up for like 2 episodes and I’m deadass wrong. Not only was she perfect for progressing Sam’s character, SHE was a great character with so much potential. I have so many Eileen Leahy feels

super-sootica:

Hi Nonny,

I feel you (also sorry, I just had to put that line in).  I think the fandom at large fell madly in love Eileen and the amount of support for Sam/Eileen, even as only friends was huge!   I mean, let’s be real, we wanted them snuggling not as friends but even still.  They were amazing influences on each other!

She was so independent and badass and openly emotional.  She was perfect for Sam.  I loved seeing him happy, and with someone he could openly be himself with. 

A fresh new influence, and losing her broke my heart

They just killed her off with the same weight and importance as a stranger.  She wasn’t a stranger, we loved her

And it’s weird when you lose someone on Supernatural, because you are almost dazed and confused…Will they come back?   The main three always come back?  Sometimes other characters do, but it’s er less likely with certain demographics

Do we hold on hope?  I kinda do.  I hope they realise, that they bring her back.   Is it realistic to hope?  I don’t know.  S13 is the type of season where all bets are off.  And Supernatural jumped the ‘absurd shark’ a long time ago, wherein unlikely things can happen.  But then I try to keep my expectations low for things like that, and for keeping characters we like, and for things ever, ever getting better.  No, catch me in the pit of despair, yelling profanities and declaring my undying loyalty for so many characters who were truly worth everything

Anyway, here’s to Eileen Leahy.  We’re all still in love with you

*sobs*
