This happens in a lot of fandoms, and yes, it is incredibly annoying.

Yeah, sometimes Dean looks dark blond-ish (even more so than in your cap), but never as blond as a lot fanartists make him.

I once saw Kevin Ryan from Castle described as "the blond" in a fic once and did an immediate wtf and about-face. Partly for the epithet and partly for the hair that has never been anything other than dark brown save for one episode where he was tryi g to blend in on a college campus and had some random streaks never seen before or since.

Aw, it's the Hair Wars! Never change, Supernatural.

For the record, I think his hair is brown, although I vaguely remember a point where Dean had blond highlights. Or was that Sam?

It's been a while.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Sam's always been dark brunette. So yeah, that was probably Dean.

I hate how they also draw or describe Castiel/Misha Collins as pale (or at least paler than Dean/Sam).

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Pale and thin Castiel!

So stupid. He's got runner's thighs.

Even young Misha isn't pale.

The blond vs not-blond debate on Dean's hair can be epic. Right now, I'm feeling the same way about Anakin Skywalker's hair. There's a writer who keeps calling him 'the blonde' and I just have dissonance every time I see it (which is often with this writer). I would never call him blond.

I'd say blond for Jake Lloyd as Anakin, but not Hayden Christensen as Anakin.

I sometimes laugh at characterizations that are extra far off the mark, but it's usually easy to compartmentalize that out and enjoy the fanwork anyway. Try practicing that instead of feeding your pet peeve, OP.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's annoying, I agree. I don't know how someone can see his hair as THAT blonde, but whatever.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
He hasn't been that blond since DOOL.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
That mousy hair color has such an uncanny ability to start drama.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
I grew up in a majority white community. My hair was always considered brown, brunette or light brown. I grew up and moved to a racially diverse city where I became "the blonde." Just depends on perspective I suppose.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, my hair's that same mousy light brown-ish shade and when I was younger my best friend told me that in Singapore (where she's from) I'd be called "yellow-haired." Very much a matter of perspective.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Asian, grew up and still live in Asia, and this guy has never looked blond to me -- and his face is on here almost every week since 2008.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
This used to happen a lot in my previous fandom. Neat to see that it happens in other fandoms as well.

Yeah, that's really yellow.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they've watched Jensen Ackles in other things and have a picture in their head of him in all his Tiger Beat pin-up Eric Brady glory, because he was actually pretty blond back then (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fR8LyxwSCTA/UCLWKn2T5KI/AAAAAAAANA0/bvBthwH1s6U/s1600/eric03.jpg). Some people are influenced by the way an actor or character used to look, though not character in this case, since younger (flashback) Dean's hair is actually darker.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
What about the height? He's not as tall as Jared, that's a fact, but on that drawing he looks minuscule.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Height differences in fan art across fandom often make me feel like I'm losing my mind.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-22 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I have this problem with so many fan fics that I have legit yelled at my screen over a few of them, haha. I'm just glad I'm not alone, OP. :D
