so, about dean rescuing cas…
the only way this could possibly be funnier is if they deus ex machina some shit to bring Castiel back and then in the very last episode he and Dean Ackles share history’s most uncomfortable, reluctant, closed-mouth kiss, like two pale coconuts gently colliding
I’ve gotten into the show unironically now and I can’t believe how wrong I was about this if they kiss it’s gonna be with tongue
Dean & Cas + text posts 💙 💚
A beautiful anon gifted me with my new blue and green check marks, I wanted to return the favor. Hope this makes you smile

s16 ep1: The Rescue
don’t ruin this for him.
that is when you find the magic.
Dean, who sometimes fantasized about being admired, about getting real meaningful attention, like how in Tall Tales he romanticized a love interest saying: “looking at you is like staring into the sun”
God I mean
no one talks like that outside of cheap romance novels probably but but but—
If Cas did get flowery
if he did happen to break out the poetry
Or words like beautiful
Dean would’ve never recovered
#this is true as hell actually#Dean DOES kind of want to be swept off his feet like the heroine of a romance novel a little bit#a little bit of charm and a little bit of poetry and all that#it's a very little appreciated Dean Trait but it's very much A Thing that he kinda wants that#if Cas told him he was beautiful and irresistible and so lovable Dean would turn into putty 100% guaranteed via @ilarual

Meg to Cas: "I told you I don't like poetry. Put up or shut up."
Meanwhile, Dean:
Destiel Pride - Day 8; Against the odds
Tag list! Let me know if you’d like to be added or removed!
the thing is, it IS important to me that dean and cas get an earth-based post-canon. it is vital to me that there's windows and sunlight and porches and freckles. that they get to wield freewill in a way that beckons both risk and joy. that there's a reclamation of body as well as mind. that they get to have wonderfully petty arguments over life-and-death ones. that there are calm evenings and hectic mornings. that fundamentally, overarchingly, they're experiencing an unadulterated life of their own whim

If there’s one thing about Destiel is it will become canon again (threat)
streets are saying that Misha stood on a convention stage today and said "If the CW hadn’t been so homophobic, Dean and Cas would’ve been balls deep for sure.”
now I know Misha’s said many noteworthy and occasionally unhinged things on stages in his time and he phrased this in the most chaotic manner possible
but I'm just here to say that I think what's noteworthy here is him explicitly calling The CW — the network itself — the homophobic obstacle to destiel
it IS a Big Deal because overall the censorship really just isn’t talked about, as we all know
but finally, there it is
which books used to be destiel fics?
hi there! there's a lot! Some I know about, like this list *which was posted in 2013* so obviously there are many more now.
There's also a number of writers who have written destiel fic and then gone on to successful traditional publishing careers (or who already had successful publishing careers and also wrote some destiel fic). I'm not sure how many of them would like to be publicly included on a list like this, though... but if you ask me off anon i will be happy to rec some of those authors and their published works (and... i do actually rec their works, in my "you should be reading" tag when they cross my tumblr dash, so that might be a good place to start).
if any destiel authors would like to rec their traditionally published works, they can reply here too! I'd just like to make sure authors are comfortable being listed like that before taking that liberty.
I've got some that are publicly known on my spreadsheet (linked in the pinned post) and I know of at least one other not on my list.
The good supernatural in my head where Dean and Mildred stay in contact and they sabotage the retirement home game nights and go on long drives and talk. Where Dean, post!empty, shows up with Cas in tow and tells her “you were right about my heart, I want you to meet him”.
