Thread on Sam as Jack& #39;s textual father.

1st, if you want to make the argument that Sam &/or Dean don& #39;t act how a dad SHOULD, that& #39;s a different point.

This is a thread on how Sam is TEXTUALLY Jack& #39;s father & to claim him as the uncle while granting Dean fatherhood is anti-queer
The parallels between Dean & John and Sam & Jack start early & ARE TEXT starting with the convo in 13.03 & moving on through the series.

The Big Empty 13.04
Sam: Dean, what’s up with all the orders? You’re starting to sound like Dad.
Dean: That a bad thing?
For those who need clear text, the show says "THREE FATHERS" in reference to TFW.

The reason Lucifer brings Sam back to life? It& #39;s bc he knows Sam& #39;s been raising his son & has a closer relationship than him.

Lucifer is jealous of Sam& #39;s fatherly relationship with Jack.
Again TEXT.

Lucifer wants Sam & Jack to kill each other bc he hates how much Jack loves Sam.

He& #39;s jealous of the fact that Sam has earned Jack& #39;s love & respect.

At this point, Sam& #39;s been established as Jack& #39;s father both in subtext AND text.
When Jack is thinking of running away in 14.03, he writes a letter to his 3 dads.

Lora: Is that your Dad?
Jack: One of them, yes.

When Jack dies, Sam develops the plan to bring him back to life. He begs Lily for help, saying "He& #39;s our kid!"

Sam& #39;s plea is what moves Lily.
There& #39;s so much more, but considering how it& #39;s been mentioned at multiple points in TEXT, if you don& #39;t consider Sam Jack& #39;s dad by s14 while granting that position to Dean, you& #39;re deliberately ignoring the ACTUAL STORY bc of harmful stereotypes & norms.
The idea that parents must be romantic/sexually involved or that brothers can& #39;t share parenthood is extremely damaging to queer families.

It& #39;s also a very western, modern narrow view of parenthood & child rearing.

It& #39;s depressing to see SPN more progressive than much of fandom.
Now you wanna argue that Sam & Dean don& #39;t act the way you think they would with someone they saw as their kid?

That& #39;s a valid argument, but that applies to Dean way more than Sam!!

Ship whatever you want, but don& #39;t put your ship before literal text.
