Funny How It's Supposedly Not Supported By Canon Yet Actors, Directors, And Writers Say That Destiel

Saving this for later because FUCKING KRIPKE shipped destiel and is probably the one that started it when cas became popular and ended up staying longer than they first thought

“(Dean would) be attracted to someone who walked in the door, slaughtered everybody and walked out, and then he would say, “Who’s that?””-Eric Kripke

Dean. Watching this. Amazed.-Script for Supernatural S5EP01: Sympathy For The Devil (2009))

I feel like even if jensen said plainly that destiel is Canon and reciprocated, they would just move on to someone else like Jared or the cw and be like these people say it's not Canon so it isn't, because they need something to hate and if it seems like they're losing foothold to hate something then they'll find new foothold to hate it

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.

Reblogging this cause the writers wanted destiel as much as the fans wanted destiel but the network didn't allow it so the writers made it extremely queercoded

here's to 10 years of Executioner's Song and the Cain-Colette Parallels they just tweeted out on main on the show

bonus the architects of the arc agree:

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?

It's the staying in a place with monsters everywhere hunting him down for a year just because he didn't want to leave him behind

It's him being straight up suicidal because he's dead but the second he comes back he's happy and hopeful

It's him begging a god that he despises to bring him back

It's him purposely telling his brother not to help him on a hunt just so he could see and hangout with him

It's the whole, "you asked me what about all of this is real, we are"

it's the two armchairs in the deancave.

it's the "what about Cas?"

it's the movie he made him watch.

it's the imitation of one of that movie's characters that follows.

It's the defiance of everything he ever believed to be true for one human, right?

It's the "this is Castiel." to an almost forgotten mother that told him that angels would always watch over him.

It's freeing his brother he can't stand from a place worse than hell.

It's seeing resemblence in a monster he was taught to hate.

It's the mixtapes of songs his mother fell in love to.

It's learning to smile.

It's the "don't ever change."

It's the first unanswered call in 15 years with his hands in his hair and sobbing on the ground.

It's the declaration of desperation, to do anything to keep the man he loves safe.

It's throwing his life away on a normal hunt to see him again.

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

"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.

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.

Wow even more evidence of Canon reciprocated destiel that makes me insanely confused that people don't see it

Sorry, but I just don't understand Destiel haters saying Dean's response (or lack thereof) to Cas' confession means he doesn't reciprocate, when *literally the exact same thing* happens in freaking Titanic:

Like seriously, Jack doesn't tell Rose he loves her (in those exact words) the whole movie, and when she says it to him, he responds basically the same way as Dean. Only there, no one doubts his feelings for her and Titanic is regarded as the most epic love story of all time...Obviously "don't do this/don't you do that" doesn't mean they don't love the other, they just don't want them to say "I love you" as a way of saying goodbye, which means leaving, which in both their cases means death...

I rest my case, your honor.

spn scripts make me sick bc wdym dean was supposed to say "i love you" in the crypt scene??? wdym cas was supposed to go to his own personal heaven that was full of pictures of dean?? wdym dean spread cas' ashes in a field by a windmill bc he thought cas would have liked it?? wdym dean was supposed to tell cas "i wanted you to stay" in his purgatory prayer?? wdym that while dean was worrying about them dying cas was thinking about how beautiful dean was??? wdym sam was supposed to mention cas while dean was dying???? i am physically unwell.
