Winchesters VS Salvatores
1. Fuck This Prophecy/Catherine/Vampire Shit, You're My Brother and I Love You




The difference between Dean and Damon. Dean wears his heart on his sleeve like a great big neon flashing sign, practically having a panic attack in the middle of the street when he realizes Sam is gone, whereas Damon passes it off as being a somewhat minor inconvenience in his day. Or, you know, he tries really hard to.
While the Salvatore's don't necessarily get handsy as much as Sam and Dean have, it does happen. And keep in mind, this is only the first season. I can only imagine the awesomeness that awaits.
They save each other's asses:
Winchester Style:


In which Dean uses one of the precious Colt bullets to save Sam's life, knowing John would probably kick his ass into next Tuesday for, if he could. But Sam was getting the crap kicked out of him, so didn't hesitate.
Salvatore Style:


In which Stefon gets shot with a wooden bullet and Damon doesn't hesitate to rip his attacker's throat, then digs the wooden bullet out of Stefan's chest. Following it up with, "If anyone's going to kill you, it's going to be me." Whatever, Damon. Poker is not your game, sweetie.
Being Really Super Pissed Off that someone is trying to hurt their brother
Winchester Style:


"You do that to my brother, I'll kill you!"
Salvatore Style:


*is trying to kill you with his brain* Here's one of the biggest differences. Damon doesn't profess his love for Stefon on a daily/hourly basis the way Dean Winchester does. That's not how he rolls. Technically, he professes his hatred for him, but we all know what that means. Theirs is a seekrit love.
2. They both have baby brother's with a blood problem:








Contrast: Whereas Dean freaks out, calls Sammy a freak out nature for what he does, looks afraid of his own brother at Sam, Damon wants Stefan to give in, to embrace his animalistic nature and feed.


2. Driver Picks the Music, Shotgun shuts his Cakehole


They each have beautiful, classic cars. A 67' Imapala and a classic Camaro. Still unsure as to the year - Vampire Diaries is in series lack of its own wiki. Stefon has one even classic-er, no clue what it even is. But I like these two side by side.
3. The big brothers, well. I know what you are, baby


Womanizer, Woman, Womanizer
You're a womanizer, oh womanizer oh
You're a womanizer, baby.
4. Their Dad's Are Both Kinda Dicks


And they're both hunters.
Compare: John's life mission is to kill the demon that took his wife. Guisseppe Salvatore spikes Stefan's drink with vervain, poisoning Catherine when she feeds from him. John Winchester tells Sam he if he leaves, to go to college, he can never come back. Damon says, "I never asked for your respect."
"Good for you," his father replies, "Because all I have is disappointment." Ouch. Daddy issues ftl.
Contrast: Guisseppe shoots and kills both of his sons for being vampire sympathizers. John Winchester gives up the Colt, not to mention his soul in order to save his son's life.
5. They Have This Rift Between Them
That will probably always be there.




For Sam and Dean, in my opinion, its Stanford. I thought about the chasm between them being Sam's demon blood, but Sam didn't choose that. What Sam chose was to leave them, leave Dean, go off to Standford for his own selfish reasons. Abandon them.
For Stefan and Damon, it will always be Catherine. For so many, many different reasons. Reasons, I don't think we've even seen yet.
Nevertheless, no matter how much it hurts them, no matter what hurtful things they may say or do to each other because of the things that happened in their past, they're still brothers and at the end of the day, they will still kick anybody's ass who tries to mess with their brother.

Date: 2010-05-06 03:58 am (UTC)I'm thinking of watching Dead Man's Blood again, just to see all the Winchesters in their dysfunctional glory and Dean STANDING UP to John and defending disobeying his order and Dean saying "THAT MEANS YOU TOO," and Dean throwing his hands up and saying "TERRIFIC." Idk, I might like Dean a little bit too.
Oh I meant to ask you, since Ryan made you watch TVD - does Ryan looooove it? lol

Also, I love the lockdown comparison caps. And I love that all 4 of them ended up in lockdown at some point. :P Stefan put Damon there, Damon and Elena put Stefan there, Dean and Bobby put Sam there, Sam, Bobby, and Cas put Dean there...

Date: 2010-05-06 11:48 pm (UTC)I have to disagree with you though about Damon and Stefan being less hands off. That maybe true, but what they lack in touches, they sure as hell make up for by invading each other's person space and whispering sweet nothings in each other's ear. When I first starting watching TVD, I had this uncomfortable feeling that Damon wanted to bone Stefan beceause he was ALWAYS in his face, so CLOSE.

You, of course, picked amazing pictures - the pretty boys in them help ;) I really find the comparisons/contrasts interesting.
I think Dean likes to *think* he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve, and he does have his own sarcastic defense mechanisms - Damon is just way over the top with his and the cracks don't show as easily. But when they do, you know how much they mean. Sam and Dean don't have the almost-hatred that the Salvatores (claim) to have, so that makes Damon's moments of sort-of-caring huge, I think. You just have to know how to read them, and I wonder if Stefan does? I think he sees through Damon when it comes to Katherine/Elena, but I wonder if he fully realizes how much Damon feels for him..
Also, a fierce Dean-like Damon in defense of his brother, more intense than the bullet scene: when Stefan is kidnapped and tortured. Damon fucks shit up. He doesn't just stake the vamps - he punches the shit out of them; he wants revenge. Defending Stefan from Logan *could* be excused away (by Damon) as defending both of them against the vamp killer - here, it's all about getting little brother back. I love how he actually CALLS Stefan's phone when he doesn't come back from hunting - that's a very Dean thing, wanting to know where Sam is at all times, and any time Sam wanders off, shit goes down...
OMG, the pics for the blood problem?! Beautiful and so startlingly similar!!
And re: Katherine and Stanford, definitely. The Stanford years embody all of Dean's insecurities and abandonment issues and any other time Sam leaves him, it comes back to Stanford. Damon and Stefan having a person embody their issues is definitely a different monster because both of their interactions with her affect each other PLUS her manipulations, I'm sure (here, a bit more like Ruby?). I'm still grappling with WHY Katherine is such a huge wedge between them, why Damon reacted so strongly to her "death" and Stefan's involvement (with the death and with Katherine) and continued to hold onto that hatred. With Sam and Dean, ultimately, they're all, "but hey, we're brothers, that trumps everything." I guess that has more to do with being raised co-dependent from such a young age, whereas Stefan and Damons seem like they were buds, but didn't really have huge issues until young adulthood, and so when the major divide between them happened, there wasn't as strong of a foundation to cling to, maybe? I don't know...But they definitely love each other, and ALLLLL of the brother angst is so delicious!!!
Thanks for this, bb! Lovely <3
