The worst question to ever receive is:

“Oh, you are a reader? What do you read?”

What I read: Castiel pushes Dean against the Impala. His strong hands pinning the hunter against the cold metal as he kisses a trail to Dean’s ear. “Cas…” Dean whimpers as his body trembles with need. “Use your words, baby. Tell me what you need.” The angel whispers in Dean’s ear as he grinds their hips together.

What I say: The Bible

[laf-outloud]

they're now trying to invent fourway ships between misha's characters, dean and batman (played by jensen). it was literally never about them having chemistry and being interesting stories (like destielshippers claim with their "greatest romance of all time" stuff), it's just borderline tinhatting.

Do they somehow think that shipping other characters together will make Destiel canon? If not, then what's the point? Since it's completely random, couldn't they ship much more attractive men together?

I really think it's a good thing that I don't understand the way hellers think. LOL!

Supernatural 15x18: Destiel is finally canon.

Anyone shocked as me by people who are still trying to deny it?

When I saw the episode last night (and believe me, I'm probably the most sceptic Destiel fan out here, always trying not to misinterpret things and see their dialogues and gestures from a different point of view. Always loved their relationship no matter what, as family and best friends, never thought to see something so explicitly Destiel on screen until now.

I couldn't stop thinking ''I can't believe they're really doing this!'' during THAT scene. For me, there wasn't any other explanation of Cas's words to Dean (still isn't). So I was pretty shocked when I opened tumblr, twitter or IG and I saw people still denying it, still reading Cas's monologue as something platonic, even friendly. Seriously??

So, I kept thinking, and thinking, and I saw the scene again, and again, and no, still couldn't believe it. And I started writing something for me, to explain to myself why I immediately thought: ''they really made them canon'' during watching them talking, without any doubts.

So, here my totally randon and un-requested answer to the question: how can you be sure Cas's ''I love you'' was meant in a romantic way?

Cas was trying to communicate something new, something important, a sudden realization about what would make him happy and the deal with the Empty a reality. It's not just about the ''I love you'' part, it's about what came before it. We all knew that Cas loved Dean as a friend, a best friend, a family. We did, Cas did, Dean did (Cas said 'I love you' to all of them before, that wasn't new).

This time though Cas is trying to say something different:

''I thought I could never be happy because I could never have you, but that's not true, just loving you and being here with you makes me happy. You changed my entire existence since the moment I laid my eyes on you. I cared about the world, and Sam, and Jack, because you care, because of you (I did all of it for you). You're a wonderful human being, the best, and I don't want to leave without you knowing it and believing in it. Finally saying this to you will make me happy and free, and the Empty will come.''

And Dean is surprised, he's shocked, we can see the realization on his face when he starts to understand what Cas truly means. He shakes his head to say: ''why now?''/''please, not now''/''don't say this to me because you're going to sacrifice yourself, you don't have to do this''/''you can't love me, I'm poison, the people who love me always leave or die''. Why should he be shocked if this wasn't meant in a romantic way? He already knows Cas loves him as family. This wasn't it, this was something more, this was Cas's ''deepest truth'' (as the script says).

Cas is saving and protecting Dean, he's finally speaking the truth, and that's why he's at peace, truly free and happy for the first time.

And we obviously don't know what Dean is feeling, no-one could process something so big in literally three seconds during an Apocalypse, in an almost certain death situation and honestly, being already so broken and fragile and angry and so emotionally unavailable as he is. Dean is trying to be careful, his priority right now is to save them both, to not to make Cas sacrifice himself, he probably doesn't even understand what's happening.

He loves Cas, obviously, but how he loves him? We don't know, we probably won't know. But don't you dare say that he's not reacting: he's in shock and shuttered and broken when he sees Cas dying (again) in front of him, he starts sobbing, he doesn't answer his phone in the middle of an Apocalypse when Sam (!!) is calling. And we all know how well Dean deals with his pain and his feelings.

That's probably the best we could have hoped as Destiel supporters. I've always said: ''I love them, I see their deep connection and I love their interactions, but we'll never see anything plainly canon about them'', but I was wrong, and I was never more shocked about being wrong.

Again: we don't know about Dean, but what Cas feels for him is definitely canon and they couldn't be more clearer about them without having them kissing or something like that (obviously impossible, and honestly not even right for the show right now).

This was 100% a declaration of love, and no-one could say otherwise (and no-one would say otherwise if this was a straight relationship).

⏩ Plus: can we all remember that Cas is an angel, he doesn't have a biological sex (his vessel is male, just his vessel), so this isn't even about being ''suddenly gay''?

Considering the show and the network, a story about brothers and friendship, never based on romantic relationship (I mean, the longest Sam's relationship is with Eileen, and that's all I'm saying), I'd say this is a big victory, the best victory.

Cas and Dean are canon, their relationship has something romantic in it (something like: Cas has always loved him, since their first meeting) and I couldn't be happier. ❤

All I've ever wanted was to be that coffee stirrer...

[alondisstorm]

Me after reading Twist&Shout. I'm dead inside. I died several times. And it hurts like hell. I listened to Can't Help falling in love until Cas died. Now I can't never ever again listen to that song or even Elvis.

Mark is like 

“Please, Guys.. I’m not hiding anything. it’s consistence. it’s part of the game. Please stop. No.. PLEASE!” 

Fandom: “He’s denying It way ToO HARD! He’s lying! FInd AlL the CluES!”

Hi look. You could follow destiel shippers but let me warn you. Most of them - and trust me I used to be one - are to the moon and back Jared haters. Anti Jared posts get more than 5000 notes and the number keeps going and going. Yes they have sock accounts but that's still a lot. Obviously a loud tantrum doesn't make them right but that's how it is. A little personal story:

I usually find pretty gifs so I go on their blogs only to find out (surprise surprise!) they're a destielshipper and I search #jared or #j*red on their dash to check what's their reaction towards him and it's negative in 80% cases. So you'll have to deal with a hell lot of controversy from your side if you do give these people a follow. It's...sad and annoying and makes me grit my teeth but here we are. Hopefully you'll find the pro ship blogs you're looking for!

(sorry for the massive paragraph!)

I get why you sent me this and thank you, but i'm actually not interested in following destiel shippers! I have nothing against the ship, i just don't care about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

My problem was just about wanting to reblog gifsets made by destiel shippers that end up on my dash through other blogs that i already follow.

(Also yeah i'd definitely never follow jared haters :/ i'd also never follow die-hard misha haters or destiel haters though, because i'm here to talk about things i like)

[itisa-profoundbond-sarandom]

Destiel, Buddie: the great love patterns and one failure.

I'm going to highlight the patterns of baiting and good storytelling. Chim sounds like the Sam to Dean!Buck. Cas!Eddie and Claire/Jack!Chris.

WARNING: not a negative post, this is from a destielshipper!POV looking to something so beautiful like 9-1-1.

As someone pointed out: if Eddie was a girl they would've already get laid. Same thing with Dean if Cas was a girl.

(my gifs)

We know Dean and Buck like to get laid with many girls...and have some homo-joke-scenes with guys.

Dean Winchester being a disaster bi (since S1)

(+ Josh and roomate!Albert - I know someone ships it xD) What I really enjoyed with Buck/Abby is the meaning of the storyline. D (who likes older women also) and B always get the part of having fun, and when it comes to express their feelings, not all their crushes understand their soul and they don't always admit those with themselves.

Abby: I think I was afraid that If I came back, I would become that person again. Because I missed you. I wanted to see you. But I didn’t trust myself.

Buck: Because being there, being with me, you might lose yourself again?

Shannon: I can’t fail him again, or you and I won’t. I’m still learning how to be someone’s mother and after that maybe I can be someone’s wife.

Eddie [to Bobby]: [...] she wanted a divorce. And I’m still mad. How stupid is that? I’m agry at a dead person and at myself because I forgave her for everything, and that wasn’t enough. I wasn’t enough.

Buck [to Maddie]: You’re never the one getting left behind. You’re the one who leaves. You don’t know what’s like to watch someone you love walk away.

Dean [to Lisa]: When I do picture myself happy...it’s with you.

Lisa:  You've got so much buried in there, and you push it down, and you push it down. Do you honestly think that you can go through life like that and not freak out? Just, what, drink half a fifth a night and you're good? Dean: You knew what you signed up for.

Lisa: Yeah. But I didn't expect Sam to come back. And I'm glad he's okay. I am. But the minute he walked through that door, I knew. It was over. You two have the most unhealthy, tangled-up, crazy thing I've ever seen. And as long as he's in your life, you're never gonna be happy. That came out so much harsher than I meant. Dean: It's not your fault.

Who does understand them? The best friend. Cas and Eddie are the best friends to who they talk to, they can feel judged by but it doesn't really matter (or it DOES); they trust each other and feel safe.

you gave up an entire army for one guy (dean)

thank you, for not giving up

 stupid for the right reasons 

maybe you could’ve come at it a little differently

The Abby-phase was very important 'cause B wanted to stop to think about just the sex part and really connect with the person, doin' romantic stuff, even VDay; feelings were in the game. 

(He literally asked to the firetruck!girl to see her again...but she said no. Ali? She acted like a Lisa.)

B really tried to find someone and always felt left behind. D had two important relationships, one with Cassie (yeah, that's fun) and I liked her -but he couldn't have a black girlfriend, right(?). Always felt left behind, by his father, by his brother, his mother’ memories were a lie.

When we first see Cassie, they didn’t see each other in a very long time and they get a reunion during a case.

Much like Eddie and Shannon.

(not saying also this...but....this)

Lisa and the weird-and-bad-written-originally story with Amara...who knew Dean bc of his 'dark' side. (Amara has found Cas and Dean’s profound connection and Dean was scared by her darkness connected to his anger and loniless).

At one point Amara will find Dean thanks to Cas's heart  just my reply to go fast  (while Cas was possessed by Lucifer- an annoying bitch who is used as a destiel bait)

We know Buck for his autodiagnosed sex addiction with women and Eddie as a married man with a son and wife not in the picture...and the episode- I'm so sorry, but the beginning of S2 with Buddie can't be described as two hets - there are tropes.

We start to fall for them and Chim with Maddie, wait- Sam!Chim and Eileen!Maddie.

Sam and Eileen’ first episode is basically a blind date on a hunt. They flirt and make a badass duo, she's deaf and super sassy and they're so sweet together. Many start to ship it asap.

I cried with Madney asap.

What does Maddie do since Buck start talking about Chris and Eddie? Yeah.

What does happen in Fanfiction with Sam (he’s a Maddie here) and when Saileen comes back on S15?

Bros shipping their bros with their best friends, mirroring them.

Madney have Buddie patterns.

Saileen is presented as a Het!Destiel parallel...and they can kiss.

Sam asks Dean if he could start thinking about settle down with someone who understand the life, another hunter. Eileen is a hunter. Cas is an angel - the one who raised him from perdition and got lost for his beautiful soul/hunter.

I LOVE that Eddie can be just a friend to Lena and Marjan, basically (I hope not to see this ruined in the future).

Now, over the line: Dean has a mother figure in Bobby!Jody and Jody is shipped with Athena!Donna (also good friend to Dean) and he's got a sister figure in Hen!Charlie.

[Jody, Charlie]

(Jody and Donna have many daugthers figures and a spin-off who hasn't been picked bc too many poc girls, queer girls and two not young women with perfect bodies.)

Bobby!Jody helped him with his mother-plot-fiasco (that was really bad) and I loved Mary before s12.

[I'm having fun thinking about this connections, leave me alone if it'ss just a great big illusion]

I forgive you / of course I forgive you

personal space / personal space

Destiel, uncle!Sam and Jack

Destiel, uncle!Sam and Claire

*love is in the air*

oh and beside the MurphyPatterns (Klaine, Bryan&David) we do have the KripkePatterns also (Timeless, The Boys 2 3 )

One of the most loud BI!Dean eps

I’m ready for some domestic Buddie and Madney

Eileen and Cas back from the dead

Just to make you all laugh after this big movie, remember the chars:

what a destiel scene always looks like

THE END: 

Yes, C*W and Fox aren’t the same, and yes producers can make the difference. all SPN writers WEREN’T the problem, directors neither, not to mention the actors. 

C*W thrived on Destiel for 12 years, building a very good story that could’ve show two men accepting the love they deserved....but they failed, erasing every other (lgbtq, poc, disable) characters.

Fox doesn’t need more viewers but they WILL gain more of them showing Buddie because representation of a M/M ship with BI/PAN (I see Pan!Eddie) it’s a huge thing for TV and it matters. I always see gay love not many other possibilities, with Murphy mostly, he can make the change again. 

A reminder to what C*W did 

[waywardseraph]

Thinking about the scene from season 7-episode 21 where Dean and Cas were playing the board game ‘Sorry’ and Dean slapped the game off the table in a burst of rage. Seeing Castiel on the floor picking up the pieces was heart breaking.

Hi

[formerdestielshipper-blog]

Rant of a Recent Former Destiel Shipper

I am destiel shipper...a moderate one. I always enjoyed my ship through fanarts and fanfics on my own, without disturbing anyone with it. I always enjoyed SPN for what the show is: a story about two brothers, one angel and now a (former, maybe) nephilim fighting supernatural evil to save the world with the help of their family, blood-related or not. I always stayed out of fandom drama in general, especially the ones related to ships, because I refused to let that ruin the fun for me regarding my ship and SPN in general. But – even so – it was hard not to see a lot of them, since they always kept popping up on my TL because some of my followers – also destiel shippers – RT them, answered them or caused them. But I always did my best to just ignore them. I ship destiel, but I never wanted it to become canon because romance – heterosexual or LGBTQ + - isn’t what the show is about. I know destiel will never be canon and I’m cool with that.

With the recent events, I realized keeping silence about it was being conivent  with the harassment, blame shifting, hate (tagged and untagged) against the SPN cast and crew and fans of the show who ship a different ship or that don’t ship anyone, pushing that ship on the cast and crew on conventions and on SM. I realized it would be very hypocritical of me disagreeing with that kind of behavior coming from shippers of other ships, but not having the same reaction when said behavior comes from the same segment of the fandom I’m part of.

I’m not comparing the level of abhorrent behavior of some destiel shippers (the hardcore ones) with the abhorrent behavior of bronlies/tinhats or even defending them, because the attitudes of the latter are borderline psychotic/psychopathic that truly makes me worry about the safety of the cast, their families, friends and coworkers and some professional help would be really beneficial for them if they didn’t think they weren’t doing anything wrong…but I digress.

I saw some accounts – some of them really popular among the fandom and with a considerable amount of followers – calling out on the awful behavior of bronlies/tinhats and asking for those who are fans of J2, to regulate them and expose them, report them when they see bronlies/tinhats sending hate against the cast, crew, their families and friends instead of turning the blind eye. But this request of them will fall on deaf years, since they don’t do the same thing.

Lead by example. Practice what you preach. There’s no use you asking other people that if you don’t do the same thing yourself. You obviously know that some destiel shippers do harass and send hate against the cast and crew, tagged or not.  And yet, you’re not vocal about it. The same way bronlies/tinhats attack even the actors’ charities (RA and YANA), I’ve seen plenty of destiel shippers attacking Jared’s AKF campaign over the years.

Tweeting a very superficial message when that happens or ignoring it completely doesn’t help anyone, just validate their awful behavior and they will never realize what they’re doing is wrong. Do with them the same thing you do with the bronlies/tinhats: expose them, ask them to stop because what they’re doing isn’t cool, and report them if necessary. Make them accountable just like you make bronlies/tinhats accountable.

It would be like if I called out the Star Wars fandom for being toxic against the SW cast and directors and ignoring the exact same behavior in SPN Family, by sweeping all the dirt under the rug, just because I’m part of the fandom.

Many of destiel shippers still falsely accuse Jensen of being homophobic/biphobic based on a bad edited video that was posted 5 years ago, that was taken out of context and many still believe Jensen meant to offend the fan even when said fan broke her silence once she found out her name was being used to foment those accusations against Jensen, by telling the fandom what truly happened at that panel. I could see those false accusations and attacks against Jensen again after that click bait article that was full of inaccuracies and lies against some SPN actors came to the surface.

And don’t even get me started on the hate and false accusations of being homophobic/biphobic Jensen got from a lot of destiel shippers just because he said destiel doesn’t exist on the show…which is true, since the ship isn’t canon.

I saw hate – tagged and untagged – being sent against Jared from some destiel shippers (some of them weren’t even at the con, I might add) because he “crashed” the JenMish panel at JIBCon. After all, how dare Jared participate in a panel that he was probably invited to by Jensen and Misha themselves, right? (insert sarcasm here, please).They sent hate against Daniela too, for that same reason among others aka prohibiting shipping questions and ship fanarts, specially the NSFW ones in order to avoid fandom drama in an event that’s supposed to be fun for everyone and to avoid the cast being uncomfortable by such things. You don’t have to agree with Daniela’s rules about the con she organizes, but the moment you buy the ticket, you have to follow them instead of acting like a petulant child to the point of attacking her and one of the three leads of SPN.

Over the years, I saw watching the con panels at YouTube, destiel shippers asking shipping questions to Jensen, Jared, Misha, Samantha Smith, etc., which is considered pushing your ship on the cast. I saw destiel shippers accusing the showrunners, producers, writers, actors, even Kripke of homophobia and queerbaiting just because destiel wasn’t canon.  This has been going on for almost a decade.

The recent episode about the destiel stickers proves exactly that. They aren’t just stickers, they represent a ship and distributing that around is exactly pushing destiel on the fans and even on the cast, since the person in question isn’t going to even bother asking if the people she’s going to give those stickers to at Denver are shippers, let alone destiel shippers too. That attitude is similar - in a way - to fanatic religious people that shove their religion on other people by giving them pamphlets without having the decency to ask those people if they are interested in the first place. By doing so, that person is creating more drama and divide in a fandom that is already divided. Not to mention she’s violating a Creation rule about not bringing shipping related stuff to their cons. It’s the same thing that I said about Daniela and JIBCon: if you buy a ticket to a Creation con, you have to follow their rules, even when not agreeing with them. Just because you paid hundreds of dollars for their ticket, it doesn’t give you the right to do whatever you want at the event at the expense of others. Respect is mutual and it isn’t unconditional.

About the queerbaiting, destiel shippers are queerbaiting themselves by demanding a fanon ship to become canon and then being disappointed when that doesn’t happen one season after the other.

I’m LGBTQ+ myself and shipping destiel helped me a lot at being comfortable with my sexual orientation. I consider LGBTQ+ representation to be very important, but I also believe that representation can’t be pushed or used as prop to force a LGBTQ+ ship on a show, especially when the characters of that ship aren’t LGBTQ+, canonically speaking.

LGBTQ+ representation has to happen naturally in order to be convincing, in order to have good and convincing LGBTQ+ characters. And SPN had plenty of good and convincing LGBTQ+ characters over 13 seasons and I don’t mean by that only Charlie and Chuck. SPN had almost 30 LGBTQ+ characters in 13 seasons and destiel shippers ignore those characters or dismiss them just because the canonically heterosexual two characters they ship aren’t amongst them. Maybe those destiel shippers should revaluate if their worry about LGBTQ+ representation on SPN is legit or it’s just something they use as an excuse/blackmail to demand destiel becomes canon.

Other thing that bothers about some destiel shippers. One thing is – outside the show – having the interpretation that two heterosexual characters are LGBTQ+ in order to enjoy fanfics and fanarts, it’s okay. What’s not okay is distorting lines, scenes and even answers of actors whose characters they play for a decade or more (therefore knowing said character better than you ever will) just to fit your destiel agenda. Or worse, ignoring the answers of the actors and even Kripke himself when their answers refute your arguments about destiel. Kripke created those characters. Jensen and Misha play Dean and Cas for years…the three of them know those characters well and way better than you. None of your mental gymnastics, twisting and the incorrect use of the meanings of subtext and archetypes and appeal to fanmade theories will change that. You are basically letting your destiel shipper brains cloud your judgment.

Keep it in your minds that subtext is in the eye of the beholder and your personal interpretation of the characters and how you perceive them will not always coincide with the official view and plans the showrunners, writers and creator of the show have for the characters and their stories. That’s why fanfics exist: so you can read and/or write your own personal interpretation of those characters and how you want their story to be. If you’re going to use subtext as evidence for “my ship is canon” argument, the same thing goes for all the other ships this fandom has, including that one that makes you cringe (believe me, that ship makes me cringe too).

That being said, something that used to bring me joy and helped me in so many ways lost all the fun for me. You won. You managed to turn something beautiful into something ugly and that makes some people hate the character or even the actors who play them due to your very insisting, annoying and hypocritical behavior.

I’ll still continue to enjoy SPN for what the show really is: a story about two brothers, one angel and now a (former, maybe) nephilim fighting supernatural evil to save the world with the help of their family, blood-related or not. I will still continue to love and support the cast and the crew. I will always be thankful for them to making such an amazing and magical show. I will always be thankful for the actors for bringing to life the characters I love and cherish since I watched the show for the first time years ago. I will always be thankful to all of them for sharing the BTS and even a small part of their personal lives with us. I’m thankful for the amazing and positive fans – shippers and non-shippers - I met both online and on IRL and for them being part of my life. But I’ll no longer be a destiel shipper. Thanks for reading and please, be kind…always.
