i think at this point it's safe for me to assume that dean winchester wrote 'watching over me' in the supernatural universe after Cas' death. after all believes-he-is-dean-winchester jensen ackles wrote that song on this plane of existence without any concious effort made to make it about Cas
another day another moment we need to take to reflect on the lyrics that jensen ackles wrote with his own brain and hands about dean winchester's feelings towards castiel. "is it fair enough to say that i needed you through the crazy pain of living here with all this hurt and what i feel? ALL I TOUCH AND HOW I STEAL? THE FANTASY WAS FAR TOO REAL. AND I LET IT SLIP AWAY."
i don’t usually share this widely because it’s technically breaking an nda* but this is literally from someone who was in the jenmish m&g where the question was asked: https://x.com/dee_stiel2/status/1605256839955976193?s=46 — and is from the type of fan who just doesn’t do fandom nonsense or conspiracies
(*she figured the nda was already broken because the information had leaked before the linked conversation)
well jensen the brainrot is even worse than i thought
You know what would be fucking awesome? If they reuse Cas’ (and Mary’s) “watch over you” line, but use it to refer to God instead of Cas, kind of like how Chuck already quoted Cas’ “gripped you tight and raised you from perdition” and Naomi’s “came off the line with a crack in your chassis”.
“Watching over you” and not in a wholesome comforting angelic protector Cas way, but in a horrifying still-stuck-in-the-narrative omnipresent god Chuck way.
They could have Dean say it, or God say it, but I think the one that would be best to say it is a random devout religious person with absolutely zero intention of harm or malice. Just good intentions and a given purpose from the One above.
men will write a gay little song from the perspective of a character they played about that character's best friend/love of his life instead of going to therapy
Jensen killed me softly when he put his hand on his heart and sang WATCHING OVER ME like Dean is singing inside him while Cas/Misha owns his heart... 💙💚
I recently learned that the guy let himself be choked on purpose for a scene (link here). So, no wonder that same guy wrote Destiel songS. His dedication is unmatched.
After this, I wouldn't even be surprised to learn that he has had a Destiel tattoo on his skin somewhere private this whole time.
