Dean didn't have much stuff, but I'll bet Sam stored it away the way the Dad did with Sam's soccer trophy and other momentos.

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Schmoopy, I love it! Here was me thinking that people would be thinking that Sam's getting all hard hearted now and wouldn't keep ANYTHING!!!

So, like, man, where's the jacket???

[maxandthecity.livejournal.com]

Dean's wearing Sams clothes?
The brown jacket is Sams...OKAY!

But as far as the other clothes are concerned? I don't think that is Sams stuff. It wouldn't fit Jensen at all, besides we never saw Sam wearing this things (again except the jacket)... how comes everyone thinks that?

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

I think I was thinking more of the shirt that Dean was wearing in ep 4.1 that had the snap buttons and hung over Dean's wrists, like it was too large for him. I seem to remember Sam wearing that shirt. And the brown jacket that you pointed out...that seemed like it was Sam's. It makes sense that all that would be easily available to give to Dean to wear (something clean and not coated with gravedust) would have to be Sam's. Sure they could go shopping, and if Sam had stored Dean's stuff they could go get that, eventually. But in the meantime, it looked like he was wearing Sam's clothes.

But it made me wonder about everything else Dean once owned, which is what this poll is about. What about Dean's leather jacket, his casette collection, his spare pair of boots and so on. What did Sam do? Just carry it around in the Impala? Store it? Pitch it? Inquiring minds want to know!

I think that Dean in the 4x02 wore the same coat he had worn in the 3x01. Maybe I'm wrong... Anyway I think that Sam have stored everything in a storage and that maybe the cassettes and other little things are in the trunk.

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's a good brother and Dean means a LOT to him, so, yeah, he'd keep it all. Use some of it, store others.

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

I checked off Stored everything - but I would bet he stored some, kept some with him and got rid of some. I mean this is the guy who kept a fraimed photo of Dean and John on his bed side table - after not speaking to them for years. And who knew a picture of his family (including the Mom he never really met) well enough to know that his dreams were at a house that he had - basicly - never seen.

OK yeah those were both first season...

How about this was the guy who bought meals for his brother after he'd been dead (In mystery spot) a while. No matter how hard hearted Sam gets he'll never get so heard hearted that he would get rid of Dean's stuff.

I love your thoughts on this! I started thinking about it on the way home (I was a naughty girl and did the poll at work) and considered that I might have left some options out, like the one you mention, stored some, kept some, pitched some. That makes a lot of sense! Although, thinking about it more, since everything he and Dean owned all fit in the Impala anyway...maybe he just kept it? Or stored those things he wanted to keep safe and quiet in memory of Dean, rather than let them get rumpled and used in the Impala.

You're right. Sam's very soft hearted, when all's said and done!

[captainlon.livejournal.com]

I think he might have stored most things away. He's wearing some of Sam's clothes in LR doesnt he?

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

It looks to me like he was, the jacket and the shirt....

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

Hey, what is your icon? It's moving....

[defaultlyric.livejournal.com]

As always, I tag things like this with *SPOILER* even though you have, obviously, seen both episodes. Can't be too careful. ;P

I would think he'd save the essentials. Afterall, he did refuse to burn the body, insisting that Dean would need it later, when Sam figured out how to bring him back. So it would make sense for Dean to have stuff to come back to, also.

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

You're right. Sorry about that!

Plus, after all, everything Dean owned, plus what Sam owned, fit in the Impala, so there it would all be. All Sam would have to do was leave everything in place. (Though I imagine Sam's stuff would float to the top of the stack after a short while, since that's what he'd be using most.)

[lovetheguys.livejournal.com]

I don't see Sam fitting into Dean's clothes, but I do see him holding onto them for sentimental reasons--or the last-ditch final hope that Dean would return to him one day. Giving up the clothes would be like giving up that final drop of hope of Dean's returning.

Love, Robin

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

But don't you think he was wearing Sam's jacket and shirt in the first ep? It looked like that to me....I think you are right, tho, about Sam saving everything of Dean's. : D

[dawnintheforest.livejournal.com]

I voted for the second option, that Sam stored it all. But I don't think "sentimental reasons" covers it. I think Sam deep down would never stop hoping Dean would/might return, even after he realized that nothing he personally could do would do it. Their brotherly bond PLUS the fact that they see supernatural things all the time, are a real recipe for that kind of everlasting hope (or denial, if you wish to use that term instead. I didn't tonight because "denial" tends to have such a negative connotation most of the time.)

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

Nice! I love your line of thinking here! Sam would hang on long after there was no reason for him to do that, because that's the way Sam is!! Oh, the love, the love!

[leelust.livejournal.com]

None of the above i'd say :) Dean didn't have much stuff to put them in storage locker - i'd like to think that Sam has all Dean's stuff in the trunk of lovely Impala.

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

You know, when all was said and done, and after a few days driving to and from work, I'd decided the same thing. Since everything they own already fits in the Impala, Sam would probably have made a special place in the trunk, like you say, and kept Dean's things there, safe and out of the way from regular rummagings and grabbings of salt and guns and supplies.

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I think Sam stored it in their dad's storage locker and when he could get away from Ruby's "Go to the Darkside, Sam" influence he'd go hide there and be the ball o' angst we know and love. ;)

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, ball o' angst Sammy! Yeah, no matter where he kept Dean's things, he'd be sure to cry over them every so often.

[tracys-dream.livejournal.com]

I'm going with Sam stored everything of Dean's in a storage locker somewhere for sentimental reasons.
I only hope that he kept Dean's leather jacket somewhere and there's a black jacket of Dean's I hope he wears again too.

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

I am severly missing the leather jacket and I know I'm not the only one!!!

[ckll.livejournal.com]

I voted for #2

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

Hey, thank you! Polls are fun!

[pbfate.livejournal.com]

I'll betcha anything that Sam stored all of it somewhere. I mean he was already in the mindset of not allowing Bobby to burn Dean's body when he died because dean would need it when Sam brought him back. So I bet in that same thought process, he stored all of Dean's things so he could return them to Dean if/when he came back.

Good poll! Though provoking! Thanks so much for this!

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

You are more than welcome! Polls are such fun, and often I've got these questions that I just NEED to know the answer to, and this is a great way to get people's opinions.

[korusialhogi.livejournal.com]

I wanted to be mean so I voted for the first option *evil grin* and he kept the impala and the amulet because those were the only things he could use, by the way, I haven't noticed if Dean wears his ring, or did Sammy took that too?(i'm telling you I'm in evil mood today:)And don't forget the Impala desecration! Anti-Christ, definitely Anti-Christ:)

[lovesrain44.livejournal.com]

LOL, you are a riot! Yeah, sometimes I think that if Sam were in a bad mood that day, or so full of grief he might not know what he was doing, he'd pitch it all except for the Impala and the amulet. I think Dean is still wearing his ring, though....
