Well, I made this gifset for obvious reasons. I’ve seen some people saying Sam and Dean didn’t care one bit about Adam, that they left him there and didn’t even give a shit about it. This was Dean’s face while Adam screamed for help. Sam wasn’t capable of helping Adam, he had to be carried away from there, so let’s just rule Sam out of the question. Dean helped Adam get up and asked him if he could walk. Adam said yes. Dean thinking Adam was right behind him, went to help Sam up. Sam wasn’t capable of walking like Adam said he was. So Dean helped Sam out. But instead of running away, Adam stood there for a couple of seconds. When he got back to his senses and followed Dean, it was too late. The door closed. Dean tried to go back and save him. He touched the door handle but it was burning hot. Anyways, my point is: he tried. Dean tried saving Adam. If you guys don’t remember, he was the one who walked away. He was the one who went there even though Sam and Dean told him not to. So when I see someone saying Sam and Dean don’t care about anyone other than themselves… Well. I call it bullshit!  They spend their lives saving people they don’t even know. They’re constantly sacrificing their own happiness to help other people in any way. For fuck’s sake, they saved the god damned world! Of course, if I had to choose between my brother who I love and took care of since we were kids, and a kid I just got to know it was my brother, I’d choose the first one. But Dean didn’t have to make that choice. He didn’t choose. He tried saving both. About not ever talking about him again… Sam and Dean deal with things this way. They mourned their own father’s death for two weeks or so. They don’t talk about people they loose. It’s just how it goes. They lost a lot of people. So that’s just their own way of protecting themselves from the pain. So yes, they do care about Adam. But… what could they have done, really?
