I can't explain how much Supernatural has meant to me over these last 9 years. I had first come across a little known genre show called Supernatural in early 2010. I had viewed an episode here and there in late 2009, but was meh. It was not love at first sight. Then I guess Fate had other ideas and I came across the episode "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester" and I was hooked. I brought season one on DVD in April of 2010, Sam and Dean Winchester drove their beautiful Impala with the Classic Rock-blastin' straight into my heart. I don't know if it was because of the pain of losing my Mama in November 2009, but seeing the same pain of what I was going through with the brothers losing their mother (at least I had time with my Mama until age 21) poor Sam and Dean losing Mary at their young ages. I almost said no I can't watch this. But I was too emotionally attached at that point and I had to know if they got their revenge against Azazel and avenge their mother's murder. A funny thing happened, I began to overcome my grief and depression and some suicidal thoughts with focusing on my little horror show that could.
Supernatural is not just a tv show to me. Supernatural, its characters, actors, writers have been there for me in ways no one else was. Sam, Dean, Castiel and the show have been the one constant in my life after many changes and family leaving me alone. The Winchester brothers, their car, the allies and enemies, this one story saved me. It reminded me like Dean watching over and protecting his little brother Sam, that I still have my sister and that our bond is strong like theirs. And I can't put into words the memories and happiness that this show gives me maybe not all the time but hey can't be happy all the time that would get boring. So here's to My Little Horror Show That Could... My Rainbow In My Darkness... Thank Yous to the Best show in the world...

The army man that Sam crammed in the ashtray – it's still stuck there. The Legos that Dean shoved into the vents – to this day, heat comes on and they can hear 'em rattle. These are the things that make the car theirs – really theirs. Even when Dean rebuilt her from the ground up, he made sure all these little things stayed, 'cause it's the blemishes that make her beautiful. The Devil doesn't know or care what kind of car the boys drive."
44. For "In between jobs, Sam and Dean would sometimes get a day – sometimes a week, if they were lucky. They'd pass the time lining their pockets. Sam used to insist on honest work, but now he hustles pool, like his brother. They could go anywhere and do anything. They drove 1,000 miles for an Ozzy show, two days for a Jayhawks game. And when it was clear, they'd park her in the middle of nowhere, sit on the hood, and watch the stars... for hours... without saying a word. It never occurred to them that, sure, maybe they never really had a roof and four walls..."

Sam Winchester
He's beauty
He's grace
He's the best hunter in this place.
103. For Supernatural Won't end. Not to me. EVER.
104. For whomever wrote this little jewel ( I would love to find out and tell them thank you):
"This is the most honest thing about the show. Two boys and their car with hundred acres of history in their hearts. They have been through a lifetime of pain yet the simple truth is they are just two boys with their beloved car. Once they have eachother, that is all that matters to them."
105. For whomever wrote this little beauty (I would love to say Thank you!):
"Dean loves Sam like he wants to make the sun rise just for him and Sam loves Dean like he wants to break the sun so Dean doesn't have to anymore."
106. For whomever wrote this:
" Dean is the best brother, mother, father... you could ever ask for. Think about this for a second. He found Sam lying in the hallway, unconscious, running a nearly fatal high fever, and he just FIXES IT. Dean carried all 6'4 of him back to the room, gathered enough ice (presumely from a machine in the hallway, to fill half the tub and put Sam in it, pushed him under gently to force his body to expel the heat. He waited, no doubt terrified, for Sam to come out of it. When Sam wakes up gasping and in shock, Dean is there to steady him. Sam is so confused and cold and scared that he gets angry, but Dean just explains why he did it. The look on his face and the tone of his voice gives away his fear; but he just wraps Sammy up in a towel and soothes him. Dean, one of these days someone needs to sit you down and take care of you. You deserve it."
107. For whomever wrote this:
NO OTHER BROTHERS
because they've done this so many times in their ridiculous short lives, Sam knows Dean anticipates the pain and that's worse because Sam will pop Dean's shoulder back into place even when his own arm is damanged, and it hurts because of the way Dean curls his arm above his head like it hurts so badly, and he puts his head down and he's okay to be that vulnerable because of the tender way Sam rests his hand on Dean's shoulder. and because Dean trusts him enough to let him do this and Sam knows his brother's body well enough to get it right on the first shot. All of those are the reasons why no brothers in fiction will ever be as incredible to me as Sam and Dean Winchester."
108. For Bobby saying " I raised two boys. They grew up great. They grew up heroes."
109. For Dean and Jack's little time together. Dean teaching Jack how to drive the Impala and the smile on Jack's face. For their fishing together. For letting Jack say goodbye to his mom. I just loved those scenes so much. Just wished Sam and Cas could have been a part of it.
110. For 300 episodes. 300 stories of Saving People, Hunting Things, The Family Business. 300 episodes of brotherly love, of loss and sacrifice, of redemption, of family, of monsters, demons, anything that goes bump in the night and the two best brothers in television history in their way. 300 episodes of Carry On My Wayward Son, of my Little Horror Show That Could. 300 episodes of knowing how to kill evil because we became Hunters on this journey with Sam and Dean picking up some wayward hitchhikers along the way from Castiel, to Kevin and Charlie to Jack. May not have been along for this ride from the very start but once I joined the hunt I never looked back. Im so very proud of my little show and of Jared and Jensen and everyone involved. Here's to 300 more LOL im joking...
111. For finding a new Supernatural fan to fangirl with and for her writing her Constantine and Supernatural crossover story.
