Misha saying the writers were aware of Destiel and would play into it is so WOW yet so unsurprising. Because of course they knew. because you don't write the widower arc. the divorce arc. the MIXTAPE. The: "I left but you didn't stop me," "the very touch of you corrupts." "I forgive you ... I love you." "I lost Cas and it damn near broke me..." "now you might be able to forget about that but I can't!!
"But still beautiful. Still Dean Winchester."
You don't write all that with best buddies in mind.
Misha Collins saying things as they were is king shit actually

Playing the telephone game here since there's no video, but looking at various tweets summarizing what Misha said, my takeaway is the writers were aware, and leaned into it purposefully, Misha was concerned that if it wasn't openly confirmed, that opened it up to queerbaiting accusations, that people could construe it that way [note that Misha, like the writers, ran with it, because how else are you going to do the thing despite not being permitted to do the thing, you put an exhaust port in the Death Star] and so he was relieved and pleased when the writers told him they could do Cas's confession.
From past comments we also know he was shocked the network even allowed the confession. "We can do that???" Which again...shows you the state of affairs. Multiple creatives who were for it. And felt the ceiling imposed from on high.
Therefore, Misha Collins pretty much said Destiel isn't queerbaiting.
Yes, Cas's confession counts. Yes it's canonical and openly confirmed as far as Cas being in love with Dean. PR still buried it, but I'm talking about the text, and the meaning of what Misha said.
Why is anyone still mucking around about whether it's canon or not? Does PR make something canon? Is PR (big interviews, magazine covers, DVD extras commentary) the only way Destiel is canon?
Do writers' work count for nothing? Writer intent?
How about Misha, who inhabited Cas for 12 seasons?
Does the actual content of what aired and we saw on screen count for anything???? (including implications on Dean's feelings, which is queer coding, not openly confirmed the way Cas's were, but also not "fanon" either)
Misha might as well have stood on that con stage and shouted DESTIEL IS CANON.
Yeah lol no I'm not going to stop saying Destiel is canon any time soon.
