you’re so real for that castiel is a peak character

i’m close (ok not that close) to watching supernatural bc twitter keeps bombarding me with videos and gifs of castiel and he’s soooo endearing and lovely to me

I loved the Last Holiday episode. Dean was so happy about all the food and the holiday decorations and it was so cute seeing them celebrate that (I do wish cas were there for it though) it was also cool to see the bunker at full power, they were really thriving. I kinda wish that mrs butters stayed 😭 just gave her make it up to jack and stay cuz it was so cute having her there

[artinventor]

it sends me so bad how cas could see what’s wrong with someone by looking at them or at most, putting a hand on their head but he really went all out when he saw dean throwing up on the side of the road

“let me take your temperature🤨👆”

I’m sure sticking his finger there was super essential in getting a proper diagnosis

i would be unstoppable if i could start a conversation

not to put in my two cents in here in a conversation I’m not in, but also lemme preface by saying people can do what they want, if sam is their fav character and they want to interpret him that way then they can do what they want, this is just my own interpretation. I really love analyzing media in different ways, but I also try to look at it in the most realistic way as far as intent goes (I do this with dean too) but also, intent doesn’t always matter because it can get lost in translation, “death of the author” and all that, but SPN often leans into the ambiguity

I am not one that has interpreted sam as queer, I don’t think that the way he is played by jared gives that vibe, and I haven’t seen him have chemistry with men that goes beyond familial/friendly kind of chemistry. We also don’t see sam have very close relationships with any men. If I compared his chemistry with his women love interests (eileen, amelia, jessica, that werewolf girl, ruby. Though maybe it’s unfair to use his real life wife for this) to any man he has interacted with, I do not get the same vibe. Just look at the difference in sam’s chemistry with cas as opposed to dean’s. In real life you don’t have to have had experience with the same gender to be queer but I feel like on a tv show, having chemistry with men or having close relationships with men that can show this queerness in some way is pretty important, especially when you see how they do it with dean.

they do make little jokey gay comments towards sam the same way they do with dean, although not nearly as many. And I don’t think that him feeling “different” is something only exclusive to queer people, though I can understand if people want to interpret it that way, it’s just not strong enough of an argument for me to say I think that it was purposely done. One thing that I think throws people off of the idea of queer sam is that he has dean as a comparison. There’s many things to say about that but I’ll just say the show has directly paralleled sam and women with dean and men soooo many times that was very obviously on purpose to subtextually tell us that dean is bi, and they’re seemingly using sam as the straight counterpart. Like Amelia/Benny, Eileen/Cas, Ruby/Cas, the wrestler’s female manager/the wrestler.

the only queer reading I could maybe really think of that makes the strongest queer sam argument for me is how him running away from the hunting life, because it’s abnormal, and it’s a partially secret way of living because of the dangers to it, and him trying so hard to live a “normal” life but he can’t escape who he is, which is a hunter, which he actually likes doing no matter how much he denies it, could be used as a queer parallel maybe??

I don’t see his fans use that as an argument though interestingly enough, probably because it seems like they don’t really see him as more the hunter guy than dean (but I disagree, I think sam enjoys hunting more than dean, and there’s many instances that show this.)

So, not because he cares about women, but because he’s queer?

Do they fucking hear themselves???

Also, they obviously don’t know men can be feminists and straight. 🙄

Sorry, they’re becoming so fucking annoying with this shit.

The thing for me is if they could find ANY non-offensive way to "prove" Sam was even remotely queer or even queer-coded, I'd listen. But every one of their pieces of proof is even more offensive than the last.

Dean with an apron 😭😭😭 AND HIS SCOOBY DOO UNDERWEAR HELPPP

[artinventor]

cas pulling his signature move of suicide to help them out with finding this item

[artinventor]

genuinely don’t know why people say soldier boy is exactly like dean winchester because not only is that not true based on their character traits and actions but jensen very much does not even play them the same way. there’s a certain cadence of which is speaks as soldier boy that is veryyy different from dean. and that cadence further establishes the way solider boy has an air of confidence and superiority that dean’s self-hating ass could never have

[artinventor]

“ruby? The demon you were sexually intimate with?” The way I just busted out laughing cas is so funny

[artinventor]

cas fondly saying dean feels things more acutely than any human he’s ever known,,, just eat his ass already jesus christ

[artinventor]

the way they went out of their way to write a subplot to have jared and jensen’s wives share a scene 💀

[artinventor]

not to alarm anyone but is anybody else worried about how everybody is fucking stupid

[artinventor]

not the silent film dancing 😭😭😭 why does jensen look so good doing it though

[artinventor]

the thing about captain america the first avenger is that it tries really hard to sell the idea of Bucky being a macho womanizer. Too bad they cast Sebastian Stan, the master of sad longing gazes you'd normally only ever see in eastern european gay porn.

the way I was about to ask this!! I wasn’t sure if cas talking to animals was a thing he could actually do or if him talking to the cat was something that was supposed to be “cartoonish” like everything else was in that episode! because then he was surprised to see scooby talking later on! They really could’ve done more with cas talking to animals, even made a funny episode out of it

There are two kinds of people- people who think Castiel wasn't just being kooky but can actually talk to animals and people who are wrong.

I like how dean explained his side of things, trying to explain why he is the way he is and he’ll always forgive cas. But I do wish I could’ve heard cas explain himself as well, because he did mess up and it’s the same things he’d done over and over where he keeps secrets and goes off to take care of things on his own. I feel like them making up would’ve been a bit better if I’d heard cas explain why he thinks he acts this way and that he’s always sorry about it and that he wont do it again.

I do think that dean knows this already, he knows the core of who cas is and his motivations that drive the way he acts and that’s why he always forgives him, but it would’ve been nice because without that side of it to make it clear, it almost makes it seem like cas is just going to keep doing this behavior of keeping secrets that dean very clearly does not like because dean will just keep forgiving him because he loves him.
