Think about this. Soulless!Sam didn’t see himself as a lesser or even different form of Sam. He was himself as a separate person. He was an independent consciousness. He’s right. Dean didn’t care about ‘him’ because Dean didn’t see him as a separate consciousness, only as a lesser version of Sam. To get his little brother back, Dean had to destroy Soulless!Sam.

#i can’t decide if this is horrific or fascinating #the idea that essentially your body considers itself a perfectly separate entity #that your soul is just – however benignly or symbiotically – possessing #and that your body could and would reject your soul – that is everything that makes you you – in the spirit of its own self-interest #i mean that has some truly horrifying implications [x]
