As a usually casual watcher, I'd say 6 and down is where it becomes more headcanon than Canon and 7 to 10 is where it's more Canon because 7 is where it's basically Canon but for whatever reason it's not confirmed and then 8 to 10 is Canon even if some people don't know if an 8 is Canon from casually watching
So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)
I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.

[ID: a chart going from 10 to 1, with explanations of the ratings on the left and images of characters with queer flags and descriptions of said characters on the right.
10: "Explicit canon. Clearly stated in the original media." Trans Barney from Dead end Paranormal Park. "Barney says "I'm transgender"".
9: "Implicit canon. Never explicitly stated, but 100% canon in the original media". Nonbinary Raine from The Owl House. "Raine never says "I'm nonbinary," but uses they/them and is never referred to as a man/woman (also, confirmed by Dana)".
8: "Creator confirmation. Never stated in the original media, but confirmed canon by the media's creator". Aroace Lilith from The Owl House. "While never mentioned/implied in TOH, Dana has confirmed that Lilith is aroace".
7: "Heavily implied. Never confirmed, but likely true (either by canon evidence or creator implication)". Genderfluid Nimona from Nimona. ""Aaand now you're a boy" "I am today" (anyway, the whole movie has trans/GNC themes)".
6: "Possibly implied. Hinted at in the original media, but could be explained as something else". Trans Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. "Doof COULD be transmasc, or the whole "raised as a girl" thing could just be for the bit".
5: "Fanon. Never confirmed, but generally accepted by the fandom". Aromantic Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. "While only confirmed to be ace, most of the fandom also sees Alastor as aromantic".
4: "HC with evidence. Headcanons supported by a dedicated fan's detective work". Bisexual Mabel from Gravity Falls. "People have noticed bi flag stickers hidden on Mabel's scrapbooks".
3: "Canon neutrality. Could be true, could be false, but overall makes sense and doesn't contradict the original media". Genderqueer Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. "Maybe Pleakley is genderqueer, maybe he just wanted to crossdress for the mission, who knows? That's why it's a headcanon."
2: "I made it the fuck up. Based on vibes, has absolutely nothing to do with canon". Bisexual Megamind from Megamind. "No evidence, no explanation, he just has Disaster Bi™ vibes".
1: "Um? No? But go off. Directly contradicts canon (but who cares, that's why it's fun)". Trans Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls. "Even though flashback scenes prove Stan is AMAB, some people HC him as transmasc." End of ID.]
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
They seriously did shit like this MULTIPLE times and they weren't supposed to be inlove, be fucking for real it's so OBVIOUS
will never stop being funny actually. they straight up are just not listening to him at all.
This show is like an anomaly, most of its fans or atleast the hellers absolutely love and hate this show at the same time, it is simultaneously the worst show and the best show and one of the most homophobic and gayest shows of all time, it was a series of coincidences and mistakes and repairs that made supernatural how it is and I can't think of any actual fan who would genuinely want to change it except for the very end of course
I love how supernatural accidentally made castiel trans and then canonically made him in love with dean. I also love how homophobic this gay show is. Like somehow these two things coexist and it’s crazy.
You turned off comments so I'm saying this in a reblog, how dare you bring back my ghost rider trauma from stiles being forgotten, that shit hurt so bad when I watched it and now you've gone and make me think about that trauma but for buck instead, you are a monster (this is a really good idea and could be really angsty and end up being really sweet for buck knowing that not even supernatural magic can make Eddie leave/forget him
I was thinking about fears etc and like, Buck obviously has abandonment issues. Is he necessarily afraid of that? Idk. It's more like he is 'used to', so maybe 50/50. BUT I can imagine him being afraid of being forgotten.
So. Immediately my mind jumped to Teen Wolf season 6. (For those who haven't watched, creatures called 'ghost riders' take people, who then end up being erased from reality, meaning no one remembers them)
What if 9-1-1 were in a similar universe and the Ghost Riders took Buck? But unlike in Teen Wolf, he doesn't get taken to some place. He just roams around with nobody knowing him.
(But Eddie feels that something is off and slowly remembers him)
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

"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.
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?
Supernatural has a permanent spot on my body and I still feel like this, supernatural has the ability to not be the best at times but still be the greatest show ever
Good or bad, there will always be supernatural babeyy
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
