hells_half_acreIn my personal Fanon, Dean spent a long period of time (somewhere in his teens/early twenties) living in New York City.
For some reason there was a period of time when John had to spend a while in New York - he moved himself and Dean and Sam into a predominately Jewish neighbourhood. Although Dean never really liked the big city, he acclimatized to his little neighbourhood and before long he was able to fit right in (as he is always able to do). He was just another one of the boys. He possibly also attended hebrew school along with his friends - either because John thought it was a good learning opportunity, or because Dean just wandered in one day and no one kicked him out.
The reason this is my fanon is because of Dean's tendency to use Jewish phrases. Out of the two brothers, it's Dean, not Sam, who uses them the most. Why New York: Dean's phone number for a good long time started with a New York area-code - indicating to me that he might have been in New York in the mid-to-late 90s, when personal cell phones started to become more common...and he liked his time there enough that he kept the number for nostaligic purposes.
It's likely that Sam was there too, but Sam, as always, had a harder time fitting in and making friends. He was envious of Dean and didn't like New York at all - or wouldn't have, except for the museums and library. Sam spent most of his time alone, or tagging along with Dean and his friends. These days though, Sam looks back on those days fondly. Dean, of course, has long since lost touch with all his friends. He never said goodbye - he just slipped out in the middle of the night as always and that was that.

Maybe if I ever decide I have time for a Big Bang, I will steal the idea off of you...mhahahaa...(the odds of that happening are slim). But the reason I never sign up for any of the Big Bangs is because I never have any ideas. :P
And it's true - I bet if we researched it, we could write a whole Meta on Dean=Judaism, Sam=Christianity....I mean, you've for the Catholic-guilt with Sam hands down.

The golem one is my third... *cries* WHY DO THE BUNNIES KEEP ATTACKING ME!!!!
Also? I totally want to write that Meta with you if we ever got around to it. Because seriously, I'm thinking about it now and it WORKS - Dean=Judaism, Sam=Christianity. I mean, Sam's got CATHOLIC GUILT out of the wazoo...

Date: 2011-09-13 01:21 am (UTC)Man, those are delicious. AND I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THEM.
Ok, ok...so, um, when we both have more time, we will totally research and write that meta together somehow. But there is no pressure, and we do not have to do it any time soon.
