#Dean.Cas#The Friendship Stage#Dean and Cas#4x03 In the Beginning#Me#Castiel#Dean Winchester#Dean is my darling and I love him#OTP: I know how you feel#OTP: a MORE profound bond#This buildup means fucking everything to me.#But if queerbaiting hadn't been the name of the game S5 or S6 would've been a romantisexual relationship.#I know they're still in love and still attracted but man. I miss this. I miss this buildup. I miss the satisfaction of those early seasons.#I miss knowing it was going somewhere and not having to pick my way through the gd ridiculously OOC leveling off of Sam&Cas and DeanCas#to find their real feelings behind all the goddamn no homo cutoffs and cutscenes and cut down sweet gravitas.#I miss watching the relationship get exponentially closer as it was supposed to.#Instead of stagnate because they're homophobic assholes who don't know quite what to do with it right now.#They still feel it but it's not written like it used to be anymore. I miss when it was.#(I'm not saying anything like 'They should have ended it at x season' or 'The writing got worse and more problematic' by saying this)#(All I'm saying is I personally can detect how the subtext is still there the FEELINGS are still there but it's curbed by the writers now)#(And I miss when it wasn't; it's not like they can erase what they ALREADY fucking did and this part--where it BECOMES 'baiting--is hard)#(I miss when it was subtext and buildup and I don't know how to feel it is as much anymore; that hurts)#(There are things in the writing of these recent seasons I wouldn't trade for almost anything. But I miss when Destiel hadn't plateaued.)#Queerbaiting cw#SPN negativity cw#Supernatural#Fandom
