And except for rich and Rob and bed edlund and the official youtube channel, and jensen also said that the confession was clear text for Castiel confessing his romantic feelings, and Dean is super depressed and commits suicide but then is all happy and hopeful the second he gets Cas back in Canon in s13, it was literally shown in the show that Dean doesn't want to be alive when Cas is dead, and the fact that they literally gave Cain a wife just to parallel Cas while Dean paralleled Cain, it was clear in the show just the cw wouldn't allow it to be explicit and if you can't see that then you're just too close minded to
The Destiel phenomenon truly makes me want to deeply delve in spn fandom psyche and how so many people believe in something, that isn't supported by canon material.
Dean Winchester isn't interested in having a romantic partner. He canonically only stays with one partner ( Lisa) for a year, and that's only because Sam is gone and he is the one who asks him to lead a normal life.
Richard was one of the directors for the confession I'm pretty sure and misha was told it was a romantic declaration of love so I definitely think they would see it even if they didn't know about misha saying it was a romantic confession
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?
I'm pretty sure almost every main character/recurring character from supernatural that has been on the boys has been shown naked except JDM

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.'

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?

When I tell you Mary KNEW
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.
"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.

Yea, especially since they only care about what jensen says and not how he acts or anything, cause jensen will seem like he supports destiel but never says it because if he says it, it could mess with his work opportunities and he could get death threats, and he's smart enough to know that and be careful not to say something that could cause it, I just hope he feels OK with confirming destiel on the supernatural podcast because that seems like the most likely place for him to confirm 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.
To be fair, I agree with jensen, even tho an I love you would've been great, it would be kinda ooc for Dean to openly express his feelings like that even if it was after purgaytory
DEAN WAS ON HIS KNEES, AND TOLD CAS “I need you”??????399:&$ AND CAS BREAKS OUT OF MIND CONTROL???? WHAT IS THIS HOMOSEXUALITY I JUST BEARED WITNESSED TO SKXKCKRK I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SUBTLE????
