it's easy to lose sight of given the sublime beautiful landmark moment to follow but I'm just as awed and impressed with how the creative team once again and for all leveraged the negative space no network censorship could touch for the Un-Reveal that Dean and Cas have such a close romantic (profound) bond they hold each other to the end. no hesitation or fear just leaning into each other finding acceptance in each other's arms. in the opposite of Dramatic Irony this intimacy is silently understood between them but (like the mixxtape and Fanfic Gaps before it and the series-recontextualizing testament ahead) unveils to us The World outside the voyeuristic gaze of The Powers That Be that these writers fought for For Love
an entire series and thesis about how men raised into toxic masculinity and violence can reempower themselves with radical vulnerability and they strategically structured thee Pivotal Moment thee emotional climax as central and censor-proof to say of course that includes them loving each other. and they said that love is forever and death-defying rule-breaking and they made it so so thoroughly and truly an entire sabotaged stolen finale couldn't cut it out. that Authentic Loving Hug the actors keep talking about for a reunion that Big Embrace is just The Truth the writers put in that refuses to die in any way that matters just like these characters together forever
at every possible turn they said if you're forcing us to only let this love live and grow in the offscreen just watch it live and grow in the offscreen. so the love that dares to defy in speaking its name is too only "revealing" the legitimate epic romance there all along
