So in a post today mostly unrelated to what I want to talk about,  John Green stated, “It’s not okay to ship real people and other real people.” I respect John Green in all ways, but I disagree 100% with this statement, and I want to clear up why Real Person Fiction is not actually wrong.

The first important issue to cover is that RPF is not tinhatting is not harassment. If you ship something, you like to think about it, write about it, draw it, joke about it, talk about it with your friends, and it makes you happy in your own little corner of the world. This is okay. Tinhatting is when you believe your ship is really happening in real life and the Powers That Be are hiding it from you. This is also okay, until it becomes harassment, which is when you throw your ship into the involved people’s faces repeatedly in spite of requests to stop and you say nasty stuff about their girlfriends to them and generally make everybody unhappy. This is never okay.

But that’s not what shipping is, and that’s not what RPF is. The first point I want to make here is that RPF is not actually about real people.

#who else would recognize a pattern within seemingly random blood splatters? #so much of his work requires him to think outside the box #as well as a keen sense of adaptability #and dean’s got them in spades #his quick thinking and improvised plans have saved their asses more than i can count offhand #you really don’t give yourself enough credit dean #the world doesn’t consist of solely academia or book-smarts #(and while you’re well-read too given your personal library we’ll let this fact slide right now cause it misses the point) #the point is that while it might not be conventional or what society deems as an acceptable manifestation #you’re smart as hell #and you should be damned proud of that fact #who do you think sammy learned it from?

I JUST DONT KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN THINK HES NOT SMART

Because he never graduated high school, because he can’t put what he does into fancy words, because he can’t talk about art the way Sam can, because he couldn’t tell you whose president of Germany.

Our society has a very limited view on what makes a person smart. Someone like Dean, who pretty much represents the blue collar world (compared to the white collar Sammy, with his college education), would be very very aware that the world thinks he’s stupid. And someone like Dean, who no one hates as much as he hates himself, would believe it.

It’s actually a really interesting example of the different kinds of intelligence, and how as stupid as Dean thinks he is, he’s actually brilliant. (And as much as both of them think of Sam as the ‘good cop’, Sam’s the one who’s willing to compromise, and sacrifice the needs of the few for the needs of the many). Just like in everything Supernatural does, what you see on the surface really has no bearing on what’s going on underneath.

The basic lesson of Supernatural is nothing is what it seems

(and also: everyone dies and everything hurts)
