Can't believe I didn't see anyone else do this but here you are
Dean IS bisexual and I'm not even sure if this is all the examples
because the thing is bisexual
Dean's love for Castiel is literally something you can chart the growth of with data points. Just using Dean's reactions after each time Castiel dies.
Season 4: oh wow he died doing the hottest thing ever ('making it up as we go.') Nice.
Season 5: (no time to react before he's back) Are you literal god??
Season 7(first time) denial, then cursing cas out for his choices (ie, choosing crowley instead of dean... Big Feelings on display)
Season 7 (about 3 seconds after the first time in season 7): I'm going to be upset about this the rest of the year, have full on nightmare ptsd from it, and project it onto every relationship and interaction in my life from now on.
Season 8: I will be so traumatized by this that the memories won't even form properly and I won't even be able to SPEAK ABOUT IT AT ALL. Period.
Season 9: only about 6 seconds before he's back, but still a significant amount of wailing his name.
Season 12: depression, rage, eventual suicide
Season 15: Sobbing hysterically. Not even caring that Sam is calling because everyone is dead. Not giving a fuck about any other actual thing in the rest of the world no matter the stakes. Followed by:
'Castiel wants me to live, and I suppose I've internalized the message that I am not a terrible, unworthy person, so I will live and not kill myself so that his sacrifice means something. J/k thank god a fucking rebar. Don't call an ambulance. Don't bring me back. Please let me die.'
We need a chart. I need a chart.
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?
Ok this just came to my mind and I got to put it out there, so I'm sure every destiel fan knows that there are anti destiel people and some are just homophobic while others are wincest shippers so why do destiel fans get hated on and told why can't men just be friends when there are people who legitimately ship the two brothers, like I know destiel fans are usually more vocal and adamant about it being in the show and how it is/should be fully Canon but there are people who legitimately ship the brothers together yet it seems only destiel fans are the ones that tell the wincest fans that they are gross for wanting to see biological brothers be in a relationship
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...
I just thought, what if the reason Chris was so emotionally distant to Eddie during the long distance is because he thought Eddie was mad at him/didn't want him anymore cause Chris left him and the Diaz parents only reinforced that idea with all their comments about Eddie not being fit to raise Chris
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 why he was so ok with dying, cas' love kept him from being suicidal(like he was in 13x05) but cas' death made him willing to die at anytime, he wasn't racing to die but since he didn't have cas he wasn't scared or worried about dying because then maybe he'd get to see cas again
do you ever think about the fact that Dean's worst fear in the face of Death was having to watch Cas die and then be killed himself, but instead he had to live a worse nightmare where he had to watch Cas die and then was forced to live?
ya me neither

I'm pretty sure almost every main character/recurring character from supernatural that has been on the boys has been shown naked except JDM

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.
