“A TERF is a white supremacist whose gateway to white supremacy is anti-trans bigotry, instead of anti-Semitism or anti-Blackness or anti-migration or misogyny. As with any gateway, many people engaging in this ideology may not be aware of their proximity to white supremacy. This is the standard radicalization pathway that we have seen over and over and over with, for example, anti-Islamic sentiment. Personally, [I] find it is most comparable to how anti-Semitism gateways are used. Often, we see white supremacists exploiting legitimate grievances with the financial systems by turning into an anti-Semitic issue. White supremacists take legitimately frustrated and class-oppressed people’s anger at banks, and carefully plant the seeds of anti-Semitism. They’ll point out the irrefutable fact that there exist Jewish people in executive positions in banking and vilely twist this. TERFs take a legitimate grievance: patriarchal oppression of women and homophobia and turn it into a movement based on systematic exclusion of a specific class of people. This is the redpill. [We] need to stop the good-faith engagements with their ideology and start treating it like the gateway to white supremacy that it is.”

Destiel. Is. Canon.

These are words we never thought we’d be typing in a Year in Review, but, as par for the course, 2020 had other plans. November 5th, 2020, was one of the best days on the internet in recent memory. A night akin to February 26th, 2015, except our runaway llamas were Nevada and Georgia counting votes, and our Dress was a love confession from an angel named Castiel. Only this time, there was a sprinkle of Russian politics, too. #Superwholock, who? This is #Superputinelection.

The Road So Far

In case you are somehow unfamiliar with The CW show Supernatural, it follows brothers Sam and Dean Winchester as they continue the family business��saving people, hunting things, no big deal. In 2008, as the show entered its fourth season, Dean (Jensen Ackles) was gripped tight and raised from perdition by none other than an angel in a trenchcoat and a loose tie, Castiel (Misha Collins). From the first stab, fans felt the immediate chemistry between Dean and Cas, and so Destiel was born. 

Supernatural writers became aware of the ship over time. For a show that gets as meta as SPN does, they were bound to write Destiel in somehow. In their 200th episode, titled “Fan Fiction,” the Winchesters are faced with a high school play based on the in-world Supernatural book series. The students playing Dean and Cas are an IRL couple, and Dean Winchester is introduced to the concept of Destiel for the first time.

Enter: Despair

Approaching the endgame, the episode “Despair” aired on November 5th and saw Castiel give an impassioned speech to Dean about how much he cares about him—actually saying I love you—before being killed immediately after (shoutout to @lithiumionbatteries​ for predicting this in July!). This confession of love was not something anyone in any fandom was expecting. In the week following the episode’s air date (11/5 - 11/11), Tumblr saw huge spikes in #destiel original posts (up by 2,083%) and reblogs (up 11,042%) with an overall 5,065% increase in all engagements around the ship’s tag.

While Supernatural fans were dealing with the fallout of another bury your gays moment, many people on Tumblr were on their third day of waiting for results from the US Presidential Election. The conversation expanded, weaving in jokes about Nevada’s ballot-counting speed and Georgia turning blue, which many found out about via Destiel shitposts. Things continued to snowball into discussions around how people were learning anime news, like Dabi from BNHA’s real name, and provided the perfect backdrop for the rumors that snuck into the meme cycle: Putin stepping down, a new season of Ouran High School Host Club, or a new Sherlock season. And this was just twenty-four hours. 

Let’s take a moment to go back to a time before the finale and the Spanish-language dub. Our team has curated all the best posts from this incredible day on the internet. Pour one out for Castiel as you scroll through.

“Te amo”                         “I love you”

“Y yo a ti Cas”               “I love you too, Cas”

HERE. ENJOY THE SCENE THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED

DEAN AND CAS SPEAK THEIR TRUTH. AND NOW WHEN YOU SEE CAS “FINALLY HAPPY” AS THE EMPTY TAKES HIM, IT WILL FOREVER HIT DIFFERENT.

Look at this beautiful stuff. Is it Supernatural or any of my other fandoms themed? No! Do I love it anyway because someone I live made it? 1000% yes because they're family.

I am the big sad, but oh my god that was a good finale

Through all this, it does help to remember that Destiel is canonically mutually romantic, and so deeply, deliberately integrated into the very fabric of the show, that the cw taking a sledgehammer to the queer text at the last minute wasnt enough to change that

Something that was bothering me that I had to draw.

i’ve been having a big sad for the last few days and today i spent all day just reading fic and it was so satisfying. it’s really comforting, knowing that, even when the show ends, there is just so much deancas fic that no matter what, i’ll always have some new and exciting version of them no matter what. in some way, shape, or form, they’ll never be that far away from me.
