The fucking privilege they don't even know they have to see that line and be like "oh it's foreshadowing" like the fans haven't been fighting for literal years almost DECADES about all the little things and subtext throughout the show proving that destiel was there but people just refused to see it
like I love that they're seeing the destiel moments and agreeing that destiel was there but like destiel has been the purpose of arguments throughout the Fandom for years even after the confession and they're just coming in and watching it now and being like "oh that was foreshadowing, pretty cool for the time" like guys that line has probably sparked more arguments then you'll ever know yet you're just brushing it off as foreshadowing
Rob and Rich are discussing episode 6x17 on the supernatural rewatch podcast and got to Balthazar’s comment about Cas being secretly in love with Dean and they’re all “ah foreshadowing!” “that was ahead of its time for when this aired, cool!”
if only they knew how the fandom was split between “Dean and Cas are canon” and “It’s just a joke guys, there’s nothing there”
it makes me crazy to think that they’re watching this in 2024/25 and it’s just a given that yeah of course Cas was in love with Dean way back in season 6, what else would that comment mean?
the Cain plot was actually crazy bc wdym the writers said yes here’s Cain but Abel’s not important. What IS important is Cain had a wife and she was the only person who could stop Cain from becoming a monster (flashbacks provided). Now here’s a parallel of Dean and his “best friend” Cas that follows the exact play by play of Cain and his wife. Oh but it’s strictly platonic we’d never make Destiel happen. HELLO??????
"when did supernatural go downhill" is the wrong question to be asking because supernatural does not exist on an XY axis where it can go 'up' or 'down' hill, it exists in a plane that extends towards and away from the audience at various times based on writing, plots, and whether or not the gay angel is there. but at no point does it move up or down hill.
I would definitely be the one to think a guy is flirting with me when he just wants to talk
#Pick your fighter, bisexual man who didn't realize he has been flirting the entire time or gay man who thinks a guy who just wanted to talk is flirting with him
By consequences work wise I'm meaning the cw giving jensen a bad rep for supporting destiel since the cw are the ones that short down most of the writers' attempts to make destiel explicit, like an old boss telling someone who wants to hire you that you are untrustworthy and not a team player, atleast that's what I assume is what makes him tiptoe around destiel all the time
But you are correct that most people don't care about destiel, and it probably wouldn't affect him that much if he did admit that it's reciprocated, or atleast wouldn't affect him in the long run
No, an actor does not owe anyone to say anything when it comes to a character they play but also cmon man, it has been 15 fucking years, you can literally put stop to this once and for all.

And also this was mostly before gay marriage was even legal and was not a very accepting thing in like public and society so it's not like Dean would be safe openly flirting with guys and expecting a relationship/hookup so it would make sense that Dean was like always bi and Sam knew but Dean wasn't openly bi because there was still alot of homophobia at the time and they had enough trouble with supernatural problems that Dean wouldn't want to deal with societal problems on top of that, and Dean is known to dislike conservative redneck type of people who are very often homophobic
I absolutely love it when, in fanfics, Dean is absolutely shocked that Sam knew of his bisexuality. It's like my favourite part of any destiel fic.
But every time I watch Supernatural, I see a (mostly unspoken) understanding between the brothers.
Like Dean will shamelessly flirt with or check out men around Sam, and Sam never bats an eye.
When Sam called Dean out on how him being "butch" might make people think he's overcompensating, Dean just said "right" all awkwardly.
When Dean spoke of his relationship with Benny to Sam, he used the word "relationship" without worrying about the implications of it (even if they weren't actually in a relationship)
When Dean told Sam that Aaron was his "gay thing," Sam moved on from it almost instantly, and Dean never felt the need to explain it away.
When Dean was flirting with that male cop, Sam had to pull him away, and Sam's only expression was annoyed.
Before Sam knew sirens could sire people without sex, he didn't react when Dean's siren was a man.
When Dean meets his celebrity crushes, he gets all flustered, and Sam is never bothered (confused, shocked, etc)
Dean will make queer references
Sam will make little comments ("...or are you strictly into Dick now?", "I forgot about you and Crowley's summer of love", etc)
I don't think either of them are unaware of the other's knowledge.
They both know, and they both know that the other knows.
Literally the scene I always think of when someone says Dean's straight/isn't inlove with Cas
"Dean Winchester is straight" is such a funny take. because there's like a VISIBLE correlation between Cas coming out of the bathroom all cleaned up and pretty and Dean Winchester sporting a boner.
It's... right there...
Hey so I have something I'm trying to find? I saw a post a day or two ago that was talking about "all the things a show would have to do to make a gay relationship canon" and meanwhile it contained gifs after each step that were Destiel/Dean Winchester related. I don't know if I reblogged it, I don't think so. I very vividly remember that one of the first steps was something along the lines of "the male MC would have to openly check out men" and it had a gif of Dean checking a guy out outside of a glass door.
Can someone help me find it?
It's funny how this is like the one episode with a parallel between destiel and a straight relationship where the parallel is about Cas' feelings more than Dean's while the whole episode is basically about Dean being jealous of Cas' old friends and showing Dean's feelings for Cas through Dean's jealousy

Don't forget I'm pretty sure lou is also the reason buck and Tommy weren't very touchy because Lou didn't want to do those scenes because they "don't further the plot"
