Things that were def not intentional but, like @lavenderleahy aptly commented, are extremely uncanny:
Conceptualizing Castiel slash s6-7 destiel as a parallel of the mermaid and the prince from the og Little Mermaid fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen 👀

Jensen talking about „Watching over me“ 😇
"Yes, „Watching over me“ was definitely.. (not all of it) but there were many lyrics in there, that were inspired by that story... Yes."

Can we take a minute to address the fact that Adam Williams, Supernatural Visual Effects Coordinator, just used the above tags?

i had to pause a movie yesterday and contemplate life because a m/m pairing of MAIN characters in a movie was NOT subtext and it seriously threw me for a loop
i had even informed my husband before hand that these two characters were gay and in love but i wasn’t sure if they were gonna be straight forward with it or leave it as subtext
and then the FIRST thing the one main character says about the other is that he fell in love with him
and i just…

and then i was like CLEAR TEXT?!?!

The show will have Castiel say something like "I love.... humanity" while making awkward eye contact with Dean. followed by a closeup of just Dean specifically. and then frame them standing right next to each other. and people will still be surprised when the angel comes out as gay

sacred and profane love (1603) by giovanni baglioni // supernatural 8.17 “goodbye stranger”
giovanni baglioni painted sacred and profane love in response to caravaggio’s 1602 painting, amor vincit omnia (“love conquers all”). amor vincit omnia depicts a young cupid and is considered to be a representation of homoeroticism. even in his own time, caravaggio was well known for having affairs with the boys he painted.
as a rival artist, baglioni aimed to insult caravaggio by painting a warrior angel (sacred love) smiting the same homoerotic cupid seen in amor vincit omnia (profane love). sacred and profane love is an admonishment against caravaggio’s homosexuality and serves as an analogy for christian morality defeating queer love.
