#supernatural season 15 episode 18

[allanalightwood]

hi my dear bitches bastards non binary hoes

i dont know if anyone has thought of this yet but i finished spn last night and well yeah

SO cas' true moment of happiness is in being, right? he said to dean 'i heard your prayer' cuz he knew that if dean said something, he'll be taken away at the wrong time. we know this.

but what if? what if the moment cas says 'goodbye dean' and pushes him out of the way, THE moment his bloody hand stains the green army jacket, dean doesn't just moves? he anchors his feet down. by now, cas' tears are streaming down his face because the empty is here, he sees the black goo coming out the wall and dean, still beautiful, still dean winchester, is here and he. won't. move.

but cas is happy. he finally admitted it but then dean surges forward pulling cas in by the trenchcoat and kisses the life out of him. and cas is happy. he's so fucking happy. and then it's followed by instant fucking regret because dean feels the same. cas has known for a while (by a while i mean 12 years) but he admitted it, actually made a move. but then it's immediately followed by 'i'll have to leave him. again.' it's followed by regret. everything has turned to shit and this he knows.

but the empty is here. and billie is right there but cas is no longer happy. because he knows he can't have dean in this sense. it's pure sorrow, regret, longing. and the Empty stays true to its word.

It takes Billie and leaves these two idiots together. "So that's what you meant in Purgatory?" Dean whispers.

[phantom--brainz]

SUPERNATURAL SEASON 15, EPSIDE 18 SPOILERS!!!

I NEED TO YAP ABOUT CAS'S DEATH BECAUSE IK I'VE SEEN PEOPLE BEING LIKE "oh, he sacrificed himself so Dean could live and it was all for nothing because he still went and died on a hunt" and while it's funny to see jokes of people design Cas in Heaven being like "wtf Dean? This is it? I did all that, and this is how you fucking die?" But I've seen people, especially back when the episodes first came out, seeing it as just a sacrifice to save Dean's life and saying it all went to waste but it DIDN'T. Castiel's sacrifice did what he meant for it to do.

While, yes, it was a sacrifice to save Dean's life, in part, it also was a final admission of how important Dean is to Castiel, and his deep love for Dean. It was a confession more than it was a sacrifice. A final message of love.

He tells Dean that he would be taken into the empty once he found out what made him the happiest, and he spent so long searching for one specific thing, but then, he realized, it was never a something, not even just a someone. Just his experience and his existence with Dean. He tells Dean he changed him, and tells Dean through his finals words that his time with him, and this life with him was his happiness. He tells Dean "I love you." And let's himself be taken into the empty, taking the reaper with him and saving Dean from death one final time, with ONE FINAL ADMISSION TO DEAN OF JUST HOW DEEPLY HE LOVED AND CARED FOR HIM, HOW IMPORTANT DEAN IS TO HIM, AND HOW MUCH HE'S DONE FOR HIM!!! IT WAS NOT JUST A SACRIFICE, AND IN NO WAY WAS IT A WASTE!!! HE SAVED DEAN ONE LAST TIME AND GAVE HIM ONE LAST SHOW OF ADMIRATION AND A DEEP, PASSIONATE LOVE FOR DEAN!!!!!!!! CASTIEL'S FINAL SACRIFICE DID NOT GO TO WASTE!!!! AND IT WAS NOT JUST A SACRIFICE TO SAVE DEAN, BUT A FINAL ADMISSION OF LOVE!!!!!!! AND DEAN ABSOLUTELY GOT THAT MESSAGE!!!!!! HE IS FUCKING HEARTBROKEN AND HE KNOWS!!!!HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT CASTIEL WAS CONFESSING TO HIM!!!!!! MESSAGE RECEIVED!!!!! CASTIEL DID NOT DIE FOR NOTHING, HE DIED SHOWING DEAN JUST HOW MUCH HE TRULY MEANS TO HIM AND HOW MUCH HE LOVES HIM AND HE ABSOLUTELY GOT HIS MESSAGE ACROSS!!!! HE DIDN'T DIE FOR NOTHING!!!!SHUT THE FUCK UP RAAAAHGGGFG

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Then they are all like "Omg yes!!!" But then Dean is like "Im gonna go back to the bunker and kill Billie for being a HATER" and Cas is like "Baby don't go alone, I'll #tagalong"

Everyone thumbs up the message and they like go their separate ways

Everyone/most get to the silo and the crew is warding that bitch UP and they lowkey doing all the cheats to keep the tresspassers OUT.

Cut back to Dean and Cas: They get back to the bunker and Dean grabs the Scythe and uses a key to go back into Billie's pad, and is like "Lets make her SWEAT" so they walk around looking for her and #destroying things/

After they get back into the bunker Dean is like ok ok wtf do we do, and then Billie shows up yet again Darth Vader style, using the force to like stop Dean's heart.

And Dean and Cas start running, and Billie is like "Hoe, I have your heart wtf r u even gonna do??"

Then they make it to a store room and Cas uses his blood and makes a sigil that is anti-billie, then Dean's heart works again and

Billie is like standing out side of the door knocking on it like so annoyingly this whole time

Dean is like "Im so sorry, I am a vengeful piece of shit and now both of us r gonna totes die. But like me first" and then he's like "We should been with Sammy and Jackie and not here, Im lowkey apologetic"

And Cas suddenly is like "Think think BRAINBLAST" and is like "Well... there is someone who can stop her... someone strong enough to end her for GOOD" and Dean is like "tf?"

Then... Cas spills the beans about his deal and Dean goes "You what?" feeling #betrayed

And Cas is like "the deal was my life for his, that the empty would take me at my moment of true happiness" which is so lowkey PETTY

And Dean is like "Y r u tell me rn?"

So Cas goes: "I know. I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You're destructive, and you're angry, and you're broken. You're "daddy's blunt instrument." And you think that hate and anger, that's... That's what drives you, that's who you are. It's not. And everyone who knows you see it. Everything you have ever done, the good and the bad, you have done for love. You raised your little brother for love. You fought for this whole world for love. That is who you are. You're the most caring man on Earth. You are the most selfless, loving human being I will ever know. (he smiles, crying now) You know, ever since we met, ever since I pulled you out of Hell... Knowing you has changed me. Because you cared, I cared. I cared about you. I cared about Sam, I cared about Jack... I cared about the whole world because of you. (sad laugh as a tear rolls down his cheek) You changed me, Dean."

And dean is like "Y this sound like a goodbye????"

Then cas goes "bc it is" leaving dean #speechless

Then before dean respondmaxxes...

Cas goes "ily" and dean is like "nah don't do this Cas..."

Then the random squelching of knockoff venom comes up behind him and Cas goes "Goodbye Dean" and SHOVES that boy into the corner, leaving a #bloody handprint TM on his shoulder (similar to the burn from when he GRIPPED him TIGHT and PULLED HIM from perdition)

Then Billie BUSTS into the room and the Empty takes both of them into the mysterious goo world. and Dean is like "yo wtf" and starts #sniffle maxxing

Then Sam starts calling him, and Dean ignores it and starts #sobmaxxing

All in all

Apocolypse people/resurrected died L

Cas #confessed to Dean then got eaten by knock off Venom alongside billie

And Dean won a crying competition

The end.

[lordstormageddidnt]

There is something that has always deeply bothered me about the confession scene, and I haven't seen many people talk about it (no, this is not about how Dean should've rescued Cas or about how Dean was the homophobic version of this 🧍 emote the entire time). This opinion has been peer-reviewed by my friends who get all their supernatural information from me so I'm obviously correct.

Anyway. Cas should not have been taken by the Empty in s15e18 "Despair" and I will die on this hill.

For those of you havent watched Supernatural and only get information force-fed to you by me, the Empty is a supernatural entity that rules the afterlife where angels and demons go after they die. The Empty and Castiel have a very antagonist relationship, tracing back to at least season 13. Basically, Castiel died and annoyed the Empty into letting him come back to life.

Fast forwarding to season 14 (specifically s14e08, "Byzantium"), Jack (Castiel's adopted half-angel son) dies and the Winchesters attempt to revive him. Cas goes to Heaven to find Jack, but the Empty is looking for Jack, too. Cas attempts to trade his soul for Jack's, allowing Jack to be revived by the Winchester's spell with Castiel being taken to the Empty immediately. However, the Empty says this:

Deal. Oh, but not now. No, no, no, no, no. No, you see, I-I meant what I said. I-I want you to suffer. I want you to go back to-- to your normal life and-- and then forget about this and forget about me. And-- And then, when you finally give yourself permission to be happy and let the sun shine on your face, that's when I'll come. That's when I'll come to drag you to nothing.

When Castiel cashes in on this deal during s15e18, he tells Dean that the Empty will take him in his happiest moment, which Cas believes to be him confessing his love for Dean. Because he believes Dean will never reciprocate, this confession is Castiel's happiest moment, and he is giving himself permission to be happy when he finally tells Dean about his feelings.

But "happiest moment" isn't actually one of the conditions of the deal. Looking at the text, the Empty presents two conditions for when it will take Cas:

Cas needs to forget about this deal with the Empty

And then, Cas needs to allow himself to be happy

Like I said, the confession as it stands does fulfill the second condition. But Castiel never fulfilled the first condition of the deal. He never forgot about his deal with the Empty-- in fact, he starts his confession with an explanation of the deal he made.

Ergo, Castiel's love confession did not fulfill the terms the Empty laid out for the deal, and Castiel should not have been taken.

There is obviously a case to be made for following the letter vs spirit of the law (if you want to be really pedantic, Cas was in a windowless room with no sun to shine on his face), but it goes against the spirit of the deal for the Empty to take Cas when it did.

If you haven't seen the episode (s15e18 Despair), Dean lands a near-fatal hit on Billie (aka Death). Billie chases after Dean and Cas, and they hide out in the dungeon. Billie attempts to break down the door while Dean and Cas weigh how they can get out of this. Dean says that there is no way to stop Billie, and Cas comes up with the idea to summon the Empty (by experiencing his happiest moment, aka confessing his love); the Empty also hates Billie and would therefore snatch her up too when it took Cas.

The Empty states very explicitly that its whole purpose for the terms of the deal is that it wants Cas to suffer. Snatching Cas's happiness away from him when he thought he would be free causes Cas more suffering than the Empty taking him the minute Jack was revived. There is no suffering in Cas dying knowing that Dean a) knows how Cas feels and b) will be saved because of Cas's actions. There is, however, suffering in Cas dying without any way of saving Dean's life-- which is what would've happened if the Empty hadn't shown up.

Ergo, Cas's speech did not fulfill the terms of the Empty's deal, and even if it had, it would have been more in-character and in line with the spirit of the deal if the Empty had stayed out of it and let Dean die.

Ergo, Castiel should not have been taken by the Empty.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

(me and my friend watching s15 e15 together for the first time seeing the pastor talk about how it’s okay to be gay with cas or whatever)

my friend: look at misha he’s nodding over here like “oh yeah gay shit i love gay shit”

me: well cas is a gay angel

my friend: a gayngel?

me: GAYNGEL??!

*both of us proceed to die laughing*

[yuleshootureye]

It doesn't actually mean anything but it is slightly amusing to me that, as far as I can tell, Dean Winchester mentions Patrick Swayze movies four different times throughout Supernatural's run, and almost every time it's the romance movie Ghost, except for the time it's the other romance movie Dirty Dancing. Meanwhile, Sam mentions one and it's cheesy action movie Roadhouse.

[fan-person-forevernever]

Yes hello. I started supernatural in 2020. know what that means? I started it right as it was finishing. (And Covid and whatever I guess, not important) the reason I started watching? Castiel. My surprise when he wasn't there until season 4

Anyway

I got up to the end of season 14, and then got scared because I knew that cas was going o die. (My fukin spoilery fault)

:(

That was around December 2021

End of last year and I still haven't finished. But I got to the actual end of 14. Now, meaning today. I watched episode 18 of season 15. Finished it right before volleyball practice.

I am writing this in thIS IN VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE

Oh and cas is dead

I don't get home till 8 00, like 3 hours from now

And it's exam season

Why did I choose this for myself? Why didn't I watch this when I started. Why am I destroyed over OVER A GAY ANGEL THAT IS CANONICALLY GAY

And I KNEW THIS.

Wow I can't wait till dean dies too.

:(

September 18, 2023 - Supernatural trends on the anniversary of Lazarus Rising and Castiel's first appearance on the show.

Fifteen years ago, on September 18, 2008, the first episode of Supernatural season 4 aired and completely changed the trajectory of the show with the appearance of Castiel. Angels hadn't even been supposed to be in the show, but the WGA strike (Nov 5, 2007 - Feb 12, 2008) had forced the season 3 to end with Dean going to hell and someone had to drag him out of there. Enter Castiel [x].

He was supposed to appear, stay for three episodes, and disappear. As we all know, that didn't exactly go as planned and here we are, 15 years later, coincidentally in a middle of another strike.

Misha Collins has posted about this on his socials [x].

Canon Destiel Timeline Masterpost

I wrote this all in a fugue state while listening to Green Grow the Lilacs on repeat so forgive any mistakes. @gay-fae ask and ye shall receive

So much has happened in the long and storied history of his fandom so I've decided to try to document it. I've started by looking up every time that canon destiel, destiel event, misha collins, jackles, or some other search terms have spiked on Google and cross referenced them with tumblr or twitter posts from that day. I know a lot of this is Misha stuff, but he does tend to be the one to say things

November 5th, 2020: Season 15, Episode 18 "Despair" airs and Castiel declares his love to Dean. The presidential election, Georgia turning blue, the presumed retirement of Vladamir Putin, Dabi from My Hero Academia, Ouran Host Club season 2, Sherlock season 5, the president of Bolivia being attacked with dynamite, ongoing BLM protests, a twitter artist making racist art of Ted Bundy, Hetalia returning, a dead man being elected Representative for North Dakota, V for Vendetta, scientists discovering a "hell" planet that rains rocks and has lava oceans, and half of Europe being in lockdown all became tumblr news around the same time. Some of these are true, some not.

November 8th, 2020: Misha Collins, in a panel with Richard Speight, states that the confession scene was a "declaration of homosexual love", and that when Castiel goes to the Empty, it is an example of the "Kill your gays" trope.

November 19th, 2020: The finale airs and it is not well loved to say the least. The episode is short, Dean dies by falling on a nail to death fighting vampire clowns, and there are several characters left with dangling unresolved plot threads and arcs, including Castiel. The car is in heaven though. There is very little heard from the cast and crew, if anything.

November 22nd, 2020: Misha Collins, in a livestream, tells a fan that Castiel and Jack are remaking heaven together, Cas has his wings back, and they are rainbow-colored. He had, however, mentioned the rainbow wings before.

November 24th, 2020: The Spanish dub of the confession is released and a "rogue" translator has written "Y yo a ti" or "I love you too" as Dean's response. Destiel goes canon in Spanish. Tumblr stops working as a result.

November 25th, 2020: tumblr user @thebloggerbloggerfun claims Jensen Ackles said "I had a member of the film crew record the confession scene on my phone for me" #unsourced #releasethetapes

November 26th, 2020: Misha doesn't appreciate the rogue translator, but walks that opinion back later the same day

November 27th, 2020: A "leaked" Italian dub of the confession scene shows a mutual confession.

November 28th, 2020: President Obama follows a destiel account on Twitter

November 30th, 2020: The supposed "Italian dub" is revealed as a fake created by user @iotiamo using sound clips from other parts of the Italian dub on show.

December 1st, 2020: Twitter user @mothdean says "misha I know you have a stan acc and spy on us so can we have a hazel update please"

December 3rd, 2020: Misha tweets about Hazel snoring and this is taken as possible confirmation of Misha's secret stan account

December 11th, 2020: A script from Cas's perspective leaks. It says "We see Cass's POV of Dean again - his face drawn, drained of hope. But still beautiful. Still Dean Winchester."

December 16th, 2020: Newsweek runs an article about an article that Misha wrote about the Lewinsky affair while interning in the Clinton White House in which Misha comes off as rather thirsty for Bill

December 20th, 2020: All Supernatural related materials disappear off the CW's website due to a copyright dispute with Warner Brothers

December 31st, 2020: Mishapocalypse redux

February 9th, 2021: Spn cast members Chad Lindberg and Samantha Ferris tweet about a party at the Roadhouse and it grows to become a full Destiel wedding

February 20th, 2021: Steve Yockey is not dead and he should say it

March 3rd, 2021: The German dub drops and it is also romantic in tone

March 13th, 2021: The company Amazon tweets about Castiel and Misha Collins asks if they ship Deancas or Wincest. Subsequently apologizes.

March 16th, 2021: Misha says he can't speak as Castiel because Warner Brothers" specifically forbade it. #cwsniperconfirmed

March 17th, 2021: Sam and Eileen are getting married! I have no idea how this came about but I'm happy for them

March 23rd, 2021: Chad Lindberg and Samantha Ferris claim on Twitter that the Roadhouse party was about Valentine's day and not a wedding. Ferris specifically said that she worked on the show and that people tried to make Dean/Cas into "something that it wasn't", She also stated she doesn't "know what queerbaiting is" and that it was due to an "agenda". This led to #deanisbi trending on Twitter and Tumblr.

March 31st, 2021: Some possibly fake leaked scripts come up for sale on eBay. Also, Jensen is Batman.

April 1st, 2021: Mishapocalypse redux

Jensen will reprise his role as Dean and will narrate. Misha hints that he would like to be involved, as do Ruthie Connell, Samantha Ferris, Matt Cohen, and Julie McNiven (the perils of having a cast of mostly immortal characters). But Jared Padalecki first says that he is happy for the Ackles's, he later said he was "gutted", then responded to Robbie Thompson's tweet calling him a "coward" and saying "what an awful thing you've done". The next day, Jensen and Jared both do damage control and say they'll always be brothers

July 17th, 2021: People are asking if Destiel will be canon in Space Jam, Misha's poetry book's cover is revealed to lukewarm reviews and people are talking about a particular poem about piss, and Perfume Genius releases an article that is a self-insert vore fanfiction about having sex with Jensen Ackles

I find fandom culture on tiktok so fascinating.

Because it generally skews so young as a platform, some of the opinions remind me of things I said when I was 15/16 and just getting started in fandom spaces, but it somehow comes off as more aggressive on tiktok, maybe because people have their faces attached and are truly saying things with their whole chests.

With 911 specifically, and with Buck coming out at queer, it’s baffling the way people are so…pissed about it? A lot of this comes down to ship wars (which I am..painfully familiar with), but there are multiple larger creators who are actively saying that anyone who ships Buck and Tommy are just fetishizing m/m queer relationships (I wish people could unlearn the word “fetishization”), that anything other than Buck/Eddie is queerbaiting and not acceptable.

Firstly, clearly these people didn’t live through episodes 18-20 of season 15 of Supernatural and the aftermath of it, but queer rep is a good thing! Especially when it’s been brought about with such joy and care. Wanting Buck to be happy and seeing how happy he is with Tommy, it’s hard to believe people don’t like it.

And then those same people that are upset that fic writers have headcanons that Tommy is older and claiming it’s “predatory” (Buck is in his 30s, please touch grass I’m begging you), are saying that Tommy is a bad person who has been terrible to Buck (specifically referencing him telling Buck he wasn’t ready after they ran into Eddie at dinner) which just isn’t true at all.

I think a lot of this stems from not wanting any queer ship other than their favorite, which is stupid, but I think it generally comes from being newer to fandom and the kind of platform tiktok is as a whole.

It’s genuinely insane to me that people are watching Buck’s obvious joy at being with Tommy and saying “Tommy’s a bad guy” or “he’s mean to Buck and taking advantage of him” or my favorite “anyone who likes Buck and Tommy together just wants to see two hot guys kiss and doesn’t care about the rep” (which…why not both???)

I’m very glad that the majority of my fandom life is on tumblr, especially when the people I follow are so excited to celebrate Buck’s queer journey, instead of complaining that it wasn’t with the “right person”
