I feel bad for liking someone. Because it’s too much burden for the one who can’t like back.
Hwang Sungyeol (황성열), from Hi School: Love On.

Do you know how Dean came to wear that amulet? Yes, yes, I know.
Samulet. But it wasn’t named Samulet when it was introduced, that
happened much later, that back-story was added in a Jeremy Carver
episode.
During S1, when they were going through some
wardrobe choices, Jensen picked up an amulet from a list of items, because
he reasoned that Dean, being a hunter would wear various charms to ward off
the Evil. When you think how hunters are also shamans of the spn
universe, you’d see how thoughtful this gesture was, how Jensen put so
much effort in building Dean as a character, right from the day 1.
This is what writers, storytellers do. They build all these backstories for their characters, they have head-canons and relevant tidbits and interesting insights that define their characters.This is what Jensen was doing. He was visualizing Dean as a person, he was adding layers, details to Dean, he was testing the waters, he was becoming Dean.
The
show mainly focuses on Sam and Sam’s arcs. We have had writers who
openly favored Sam or Cas or Charlie, who wrote exclusively for those characters.
(Sera, Edluand, Robby). We had Jeremy Carver calling Dean “boring” in front
of an audience. We had Robert Singer on record describing Dean as “all
brawn and mentally deficient”. In light of all these I’d say any
popularity Dean achieved is not because of writer’s efforts, it is in
spite of their efforts.
So, yes, if Dean is an iconic
character today, if Dean still attracts attention and wins hearts, if
Dean still remains sympathetic despite all that he went through/all the
things he’s done- I think the credit should go to Jensen Ackles.
Because, he is The Man behind the legend.
