I'm usually normal about Jensen Ross Ackles but every now and then I remember that Jensen was so pissed about the Destiel conflict post Mary death (because in the past Dean forgave Cas far more easily for things far worse) that he asked the writers to tone it down, how in the FINAL season he was most excited for the Dean and Cas' storyline, how he agreed to the love confession, how he believed Dean should've said "I love you" back to Cas, how he can't make peace with Dean's shitty ending even two years after the show ended, how he roasts the rusty rebar any chance he gets, how he has gotten gazillion cool projects going on and yet he continues to talk about spn revival, how he made the whole ass show just to bring Dean back to live and our screens. I remember all that and am no longer normal about Jensen Ross Ackles.

i honestly think deancas transcends the queercoding vs baiting argument. there are too many layers. too many writers going in and out of the writer’s room, all with their own agendas. 4 different showrunners (5 if you count singer) with different goals for both their relationship and the story at large. massive real life social and political shifts. the market research. the show ultimately being dragged on and extended multiple times, thwarting the ability of whoever was in charge at the time to wrap up the story the way they were planning to. the rise of tumblr shipping and queerbait discourse fundamentally changing the show’s relationships with its fans. the rise of modern tumblr fandom culture colliding with destiel’s height of popularity, and supernatural rising to the highest ranks of fandom with superwholock. misha collins crossing all sorts of actor/fan lines and redefining how to interact with your shipping fanbase. a generation of fans growing up and going on to actually working on the show itself. the intense heller vs. bronly divide that only got more polarized as time went on. the real, behind the scenes drama about not being able to get rid of cas. the first pairing to reach 100,000 fics on ao3 even after the show had ended. yo a ti cas. the obvious disagreement at an executive level on the post-confession messaging. an incredibly powerful fanbase nobody expected or knew what to do with. 12 years of this. ultimately i think the full story of why they didn’t go there sooner, why we didn’t get dean’s answer, what the intentions were from the beginning and how they evolved would be different based on who you ask and destiel was (and continues to be) a phenomenon that cannot be explained with normal media analysis.

CASTIEL IN EVERY EPISODE ↳ 6.03 - The Third Man

j*red after learning that misha came out at the only convention he didn’t go to

[wingwinchester]

sorry i can’t come into work today, this d-list liberal actor i attached myself to as a teenager just came out as bisexual

[wingwinchester]

People were weird about it when we said it before so lemme reiterate. A member of the queer community reached out to us for years, validated us when no one else would, took us seriously when no one else did, and fought behind the scenes to give us canon queer Castiel and queer love as something that saves the world in a work environment that was relentlessly toxic and homophobic toward him specifically. He's ONE OF US and he did that FOR US. No more of this well-meaning ally business. He's not an ally he's family.

im sorry i imprinted on the old bisexual titanium hip man as if it’s my fault

if cockles comes out as real i'm going to have to move away from civilization because i'll literally believe anything and be much more susceptible to joining a cult

i really dont care about celebrities often but if i think about just how shitty misha was treated on set. well! i do want to start biting. did they not know he was it. the gay angel was the x factor of their horrible show and they literally subjected him to workplace homophobia and harassment for 12 years
