Listen. I know we don't need any confirmation from the actor. Or director. Or the writer. And we don't need the media calling the confession romantic. But. Even though I know we don't need their validation. I actually love that we get the actor man confirming that we'd get balls deep destiel if not for the network's homophobia. And I adore when the director says "Castiel's coming out". And I'm ecstatic when the writer admits he was asked to bury the subtext deeper. I'm fucking gloating when the media call the confession romantic and boldly claim Castiel should've been Dean Winchester's lover. Because even though we knew. Even though the text was there. And even though the show ended 4 years ago so what does it matter??? It matters. And it's about damn time. And I'm waiting for more.

Does anyone ever think about how Jensen knew this was the last time Dean would get to hug Cas when he filmed it?

thinking abt thee long road to destiel love confession: bedlund was like. ok EYE will write the first destiel admission of love [pens "what? i love past you" in 5x04 because well, past-dean reminds him of the dean he fell in love with, the dean that cares about the whole world. gets changed to "like."] then robbie said ok EYE will be the first to write an explicit destiel love confession and DEAN confesses FIRST and they're in an underground space with no windows! [pens "i forgive you. i love you." gets changed to "i need you" which. is honestly a more insane thing to say] then davy perez was like. ok EYE will write the first destiel love confession in 12x12 and cas is saying to dean as he's about to DIE. but then he kinda backtracks it and says he loves everyone. and then finally berens was like, ok i guess it's me. [checks notes] so we got, cas confessing his love and how much he loves dean, specifically highlighting how dean CARES and has a huge heart. and uhh they're in an underground room. with no windows. and cas is about to die. no backtracking this time.

Ok so. "Why does this sound like a goodbye?" Was fucking heartbreaking, right; we have the full-on uninterrupted eye contact, the head tilt, Dean's already open mouth twitching before the scene cuts to Cas' "I love you," like he had more to say, but Cas beats him to the punch. It's great, we love that. But for the dialogue to be sequenced that way, and to have Dean reply with, "don't do this, Cas."
I'm only just realizing how fucking insane it was. And sure, I might just be coping here, at the end of the day who fucking knows, but look at it. Think about it. Now let yourself feel it all over again.
It's Dean's death knocking on the door behind Cas, and it's Cas' death emerging behind Dean. Like this, they're directly facing their own demise—but they're too stuck on each other, in their moment, to give a damn. And then Dean doesn't say, "I love you too." He says, "don't do this."
He isn't disgusted or ashamed or put off in the slightest by Cas' confession, because if he is then why is he on the verge of tears? In what world would it make sense for him to want to cry after his best friend confessed to him, if the confession was something he did not want. He says don't do this here, don't do this to me now.
Even if, and that's the most unlikely if to ever exist, Dean did not reciprocate Cas' feelings—don't do this is still so fucking powerful. Because Dean's connected the dots, happiness [...] is in just saying it, and Cas said it, so where does that lead Dean? That's right, with Cas dead again, trying to save him again.
Don't do this. Don't die for me, don't love me only to die for me, don't love me at all, just stay with me.
Don't let me watch you die again and not even let me follow you—because, at the very least, that was a consolation. She's gonna kill you, which Dean knows that Billie knows will hurt him more than his own death, and then she's gonna kill me.
"Don't do this," was actually so fucking powerful, I don't know how it slipped past me until now...
