May 25 and 27-29, 2024 - the NDAs are no more.
Purgatory 8 con took place this past weekend and words have been spoken [x].
Jensen Ackles trended briefly on May 25 and then several tags began trending again on May 27. It looks like a bunch of things about destiel were said, alongside the typical con chaos which resulted in the trend. Below are some highlights (though not all of them have video sources):
The confession scene played before the Jensen and Misha's panel: [video], [x], [x], [x]
Jensen said that Cas' confession was textual rather than subtext: [video], [x], [x]
DJ and Ty started their panel by thanking everyone for the congrats on their marriage: [x] + Ty mentioned he'd read some Dean/Benny fanfiction: [x]
In response to a question about what Kevin had seen when he was a ghost, Osric replied "destiel": [x]
Multiple people tweeted about various panels throughout the weekend and most tweets can be found under the #purcon8 tag.
It looks like spn was also trending on Twitter [x]:

What do you think is the most important trait for Jason? This is totally the first time I've ever asked you this question
Yep totally the first time. I didnt accidentally delete the first ask at all
Anyway the answer is his hypocrisy.
Now, I know I talk a lot about Jason's love and his fears and stuff, but I think all of his everything can be better understood through his hipocrisy and his actions vs his words. Here's some instances that stick out to me:
• Sasha/Scarlet from Batman and Robin (2009)
One of Jason's Most Hated Things is the concept of child sidekicks. He hates that shit so much. However, he literally kidnaps a child from a mental health facility to make her his sidekick.
[Batman and Robin Vol.1 #3]
(While Morrison's Jason is... far from good, the concept of Sasha is one of my absolute favorites, so we're talking about it.)
Jason preaches about Batman being morally wrong for having another Robin after his death, and yet he takes Sasha with him to bloody, disgusting massacres he commits, and encourages her to participate in his "branding," exposing her to the violence of his beliefs.
[Batman and Robin (2009) #4]
BUT!! It's important to note that Jason cares about Sasha a lot. To the point where he's willing to work with Dick and Damian to get her to safety (aka, with him).
[Batman and Robin (2009) #25]
He actively teaches her violence and hatred and these very polarizing beliefs, and he does that because he loves her.
• Jason's idea of a criminal in Beast World
We all know Jason's backstory. We all know he stole the tires of the Batmobile and that's how he met Bruce. That story implies that Jason committed a lot of petty theft before he got picked up by Bruce, and it was his main source of income.
In UTRH, it's talked about how Jason belives that Bruce isn't effective against the "dress-ups" because they know he won't kill them, implying that Jason kills to scare said dress-ups, the bigger fish.
However, in the Scavengers story, we get this speech bubble:
[Beast World: Gotham: Scavengers (2024)]
Jason, as a child, is willing to do what he needs to survive, and yet kills other people who are doing the exact same thing. He talks about hunting down the bigger fish but we never get to see him actually do that at any point. (Seriously, the only Rogue I can remember him killing is Captain Nazi. Which was 8 years ago.) Instead, we get canon confirmation that he harms the little guy, the ones who are just trying to get by.
• Robin vs Red Hood and sex work
When Jason is Robin, we see him hurt pimps and (maybe) kill Felipe Garzonas for sexually assaulting women. He's pretty strongly against the abuse that comes with sex work.
[Batman (1940) #422 and #424]
But in UTRH, it's stated that Jason literally becomes a pimp.
[Under The Red Hood (2006)]
There's nothing to indicate that he treats his girls any better or any worse than other pimps in Gotham, but the fact he becomes a pimp at all is enough to prove my point.
(That panel is also the best way to show my... mild distaste for utrh)
There are definitely plenty more instances of things like this but those were the first to come to mind. Hope the answer is satisfactory!!
