Supernatural had the opportunity to do something great. To send a message of love and validation to a whole community. Not only to the part of the community that liked their show, but to all of us. But instead they decided to pander to the people, who never had to fight for their representation.
I support #TheySilencedYou, #TheySilencedThem and #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs and I'm in awe of all of you. Of your eloquence, passion, coordination and decisiveness. And I feel like your message goes beyond this particular TV show and the CW.
It's about protesting a pattern of disrespect towards otherness in Mainstream Media. It's about demanding meaningful, unmistakably queer representation, that enables discourse and furthers understanding in a heterogenic Audience. It's about asking Networks to not only hire diverse staff but to also give them the freedom to tell their stories the way they want to. It's about telling creators to own up to the inherent messages they leave us with in the end.
And that's inspiring and should be celebrated.
Stories matter.
I hate to ask a SPN question but did u see the deleted scene where Dean and Charlie listen to I want to take you to a gay bar in the Impala. I feel like I’m going insane.
WHATT anon im BEGGING u what scene ive never seen it don't give me a heart attack like this
IT IS FOUND. im screaming omg
WHAT!!!!!!!!!
Wow Dean. Um... very heterosexual of you...
This confirms Bi!Dean once again because um... reasons.
^^^^ this is like 100% me right now
I can’t fucking breathe, my chest hurts
What did this to me?
Dean being okay with listening to “I wanna take you to a gay bar” in his MANLY HETEROSEXUAL MUSCLE CAR with his GAY GIRL FRIEND (when he almost killed Sam for his music in Baby, which was just not his jam?)
MY GAY HEART IS SO HAPPY.
Dean Winchester || Deserved better. In this video I tried to show that Dean was always treated as the person who is only supposed to take care and live for his brother and not for himself. It’s sick what they did to him and he deserved so much better.
My heart
I do not understand this “male privilege" bullshit.
What. Fucking. Privileges. Do. Men. Have.???????
Name them. I swear, I challenge you to name these “male privileges" and be able to prove them.
Come on, I fucking dare you.
Name them!
Oh boy. Well, as a man, I’ll tell you my male privilege.
And lastly, I am taken as a more credible feminist than my female peers, despite the fact that the feminist movement is not liberating to my sex.
This is male privilege.
THIS. THIS IS HOW YOU BE A MALE FEMINIST.
YES!!!!
Agree with everything but the last sentence. I would arguee that feminism liberates us from gender norms, therefore liberating both perceived sexes or better yet liberating us all from expectations of sex
i think we all really need to step back a bit with how we view celebrities like........we don't know these people. we are not their friends. we have a built up perception of them in our brains based on the parts of them they want us to see and the things we like to think they are. it's not real. let it go.
this is a mix of both "they will do things that disappoint you because they're real people and not your perception of them" and "don't invade their privacy because they don't know you and you don't know them" but also just "stop presuming things about people you've never met based on how they look or the way they behave in interviews"
And stop confusing them with their character. And do some reading about parasocial relationships.
Whoever made this, thank you doesn’t begin to express my gratitude. This is just amazing. ♥
Well hello there
Hej @notfunnydean ! This is your not-secret-anymore Santa from the @destielsecretsanta2020. I hope you like my story and merry Christmas!

Tags: case fic, fluff, even more fluff, a brief flicker of angst, Dean and Cas finally using their words, getting together for real, Sam is exasperated, Eileen is too
Dean hummed a Christmas carol as he entered the kitchen. It was the 21st of December and the first year. The first year without a case, without an impending apocalypse, without grief weighing so heavy on his shoulders he thought he would suffocate. The first year to celebrate Christmas with his extended family. He smiled, gratefully and contentedly.
I know I’ve talked a great deal about the way the complete erasure of both Cas and Eileen from the two final episodes of SPN made my blood boil, but after careful consideration and a lot of talking with several very clever people (you know who you are), I think what hurt me the most on top of it all is the way Supernatural decided to essentially throw away an entire section of what made the show what it was for the best part of the last decade and a half: the topic of found family, and how they’ve carefully crafted so many important side characters and relationships only to throw them all away for the sake of having one last episode essentially disconnected from the rest of the story.
[Because I’ve talked about in great length over the course of the past week and a half, and although there are undoubtedly more issues with Supernatural’s series finale than just this (ie: the Destiel treatment and the queer erasure, along with the complete erasure of Eileen, the only disabled character this show has ever known), I’m going to concentrate solely on the treatment of found family, and why its erasure from the finale storyline is deeply upsetting on top of being utterly inexplicable. If you want to read an incredible article about this, I’d redirect you to @chill-legilimens article’s, The Trauma of Silence]
When Supernatural started airing in 2005, the show essentially focused on Sam and Dean and their relationship, with a dash of John Winchester and mending the broken pieces between a father and his sons into the mix. The first side character that gets introduced to the audience as some sort of surrogate father to both Winchesters is Bobby (1x22, Devil’s Trap), and he quickly became a fan favorite to the fandom. Interestingly enough, Bobby is also the one who comes up with the “Family don’t end with blood” line (if I’m not mistaken, the first time it’s said on the show is during 3x16, No Rest for the Wicked). Once this line gets said, it quickly became more than just a slogan within the fandom, and it’s often referenced as a motto for the show as well (Dean even uses it during his talk with Crowley in season 10 to explain what family means).
Over the years, so many characters got introduced and became fan favorites (off the top of my head, I can come up with half a dozen already) and have grown within the show, to the point where they’re introduced to the audience as some sort of found family to both Dean and Sam. The boys get invited to Jody Mills’ and her wayward daughter’s house for dinner, spend what can only be qualified as a slumber party watching Game of Thrones with Charlie Bradbury in the bunker, keep running around and bickering with Crowley, spends time in the bunker with Eileen (the margaritas and Sam and Eileen being hungover the morning after in the bunker’s kitchen lives rent-free in my head). Even the Ghostfacers keep popping in almost every season for a decade. The audience gets to learn who these characters are and connect with them on several levels, most of them also becoming fan favorites over time.
But if I had to pick only one side character to make a point, Castiel is undoubtedly the one that comes to mind first.
When Misha Collins came along during season 4, he was only supposed to be in for a couple of episodes and be done with it. But because of his masterful performance (and because the character of Anna, who gets introduced around the same time as Castiel, doesn’t seem to work as well as the writers thought it would), Misha stayed along for the whole ride, and ended his run on Supernatural 12 years and 144 episodes later, with a character that is so beloved by the fandom that it elevated him to the rank of third lead. Castiel is not only an angel of the Lord, he’s also Sam and Dean’s best friend who would do anything to protect them (and, well, has done so, multiple times). He’s grown within the show to the point where the audience directly refers to him as being one of the family, even though he’s not blood, because “Family don’t end with blood” after all.
Another example that is particularly telling over the course of the last couple of seasons is the treatment of Jack’s character, who’s quickly adopted by the boys and referred to as “their kid”, the three of them acting like surrogate dads even though in the end, Jack is Lucifer’s son. Once again, the show makes a point of showing the audience that although Jack is not related to Sam and Dean in any way (I’m guessing since Lucifer is basically Castiel’s brother, he is somewhat related to Cas, but since I don’t have a degree in angel DNA, I can’t 100% be sure), he’s still family, he still matters.
The story basically tells the audience that even though you might not have a blood-related family, that doesn’t prevent you to find people along your life’s journey that becomes intrinsically connected to your story, both on a deeply emotional and practical level. It tells you that you’re not required to have a blood family to be someone’s kid, or sister, or brother. It tells you that blood doesn’t define who you choose to share your life with, and most importantly, it tells you that you’re allowed to choose.
So why on Earth did anyone think that ending Supernatural’s 15-year run with an episode that essentially showcases Sam and Dean and sidelines the wide majority of the family they found along the way (with the exception of OG Bobby showing up in Heaven) was a good idea?
Don’t get me wrong, I love Bobby, I really do… But what was the excuse for not having either Misha back (the literal third lead of the show, who confessed to being in love with Dean, the second lead of the show, two episodes prior), or Alex (Jack being one of the main focus of the past two seasons at least)? I get that Covid made all of this difficult, but you can’t tell me you’ve been able to bring back Mark Pellegrino’s Lucifer for a two minutes and a half cameo in 15x19, but not Misha fucking Collins to end his character’s arc (and Dean’s, who’s arc is deeply wired with Castiel’s) after 12 years.
I’m gonna say it again, because I feel like it’s been used as an excuse for everything ever since the finale aired: Covid cannot be the sole excuse for everything. It cannot account for the absence of literally EVERYONE around the Winchesters.
At that point, I should probably add that although I was incredible baffled by the one-off mention of Cas (well, two, if you count Sam saying he misses him and Dean deflecting during the Pie Fest at the beginning of the episode), what probably set me off the most is the part of Dean’s death speech where he says “when it all came down to it, it was always you and me, it’s always been you and me”.
I’m sorry Dean, you know I love you to pieces, but what the actual fuck was that? What does it even mean? That single line essentially strips away any kind of meaningful contribution of any side characters… Including Castiel “always happy to bleed for the Winchesters”’s, and Jack’s who quite literally saved the whole world ONE EPISODE PRIOR.
Not to mention that the fact we don’t get to see Cas again leave Dean’s entire character’s arc incomplete. What was the point of season 15, which focused so deeply on Dean and Cas’ relationship, if in the end the entire character’s arc gets dropped?
So what’s the message being sent here?
“Found family was a myth, it’s always been sorely about the Winchesters”?
“Ha! Tricked ya!”?
Why did Supernatural, after a decade and a half spent consolidating the contribution of side characters, decided to essentially throw it all away?
Why did Supernatural, after a decade spent crafting meaningful relationships within the show, decided to light it all up on fire and end its run with an episode that basically tells the audience that none of it really mattered, it’s always been sorely about Dean and Sam.
I would’ve been fine with a Sam and Dean episode if Castiel had more than a one-off mention, if they didn’t give Sam a blurry wife, if Dean had the funeral he deserved (with a rock band, whisky, and all the fellow hunters and family he found along the way), if Sam didn’t spend the rest of his life mourning his brother. I would’ve been fine with only getting Jim Beaver on screen (because Covid) if we had been given something more than just Dean driving for his last 5 minutes on screen. It would have been FINE, if Supernatural hadn’t essentially forgotten about what made Supernatural, well, Supernatural.
Long story short, I feel tricked. And I know a lot of you feel tricked too, because this isn’t what we’ve been fed for the past 15 years. Supernatural was a show about finding your way through life and death and horror and trauma, with help from people you found along the way who became linked to your story because you cared for each other. And Supernatural ended by telling us that found family didn’t really matter, that Dean was always going to die on a random hunt, that Sam could never be truly happy without his brother by his side. Talk about a downgrade, uh?
I don’t know why they decided to throw their entire legacy to the wind. Truth be told, I don’t think we’ll ever get to know. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to stay pissed about it. That doesn’t mean I’m going to ever be okay with my favorite show deciding to end its run with a finale episode so deeply disconnected from their 15-year story that it felt utterly shallow.
They said “Family don’t end with blood”… But after all of this, doesn’t it, though?
It tells you that you’re not required to have a blood family to be someone’s kid, or sister, or brother. It tells you that blood doesn’t define who you choose to share your life with, and most importantly, it tells you that you’re allowed to choose.

This.
I’ll say it again, this is not about a ship. This is about spending fifteen years telling lost people that they can be found, and that they can choose to find themselves. Spending over a decade letting people feel safe, and seen, and loved— giving people hope— only to push them down and tell them, actually, they don’t matter to anyone at all. Spend your life building a family beyond blood, and it will end bloody.
What’s the message indeed.
If you’re looking for me, I’m crying again.
I just can’t wrap my brain around my favorite show, the show that gave me hope and made me feel like I belong when I thought for sure I didn’t belong anywhere, deciding to throw it all to hell. It literally feels like being punched in the face while you’re being rolled over by a truck full of trucks. “Ha, we tricked you into believing you mattered? Well, just fyi, you don’t, we don’t give a shit, here take our joke of a finale.”
Mad.
Spend your life building a family beyond blood, and it will end bloody.
This. This is what I felt. The messages and themes that were erased through the finale really gutted me. This show was always a beacon of hope to me. Dramatic, I know, but it’s true. However, the finale just filled me with sense of hopelessness. Since I found this show, I believed that there was always a chance. No matter how bad things get, even if the world is ending, the people around you are what matters. The people that you choose, the people that choose you are what matters because that’s what matters to you. To have all that negated and forgotten by the finale was just so hard to watch and even harder to swallow. As Jensen said I had trouble digesting it. To be honest idk that I ever will. The finale sent me into a fast-paced spiral to depression, and the only thing that has brought me out of it (slowly but surely) are the people that understand how much this means. Not just the show and the cast and all the people involved, but the themes and lessons this show taught us. A bit ironic that the very messages taught to me by this show, then snapped away in the very end, will be the very messages that propel me to letting go of that very show’s parting messages, or lack thereof. If there’s anyone out there who actually liked the finale, this is not an attack, just my personal feelings. You also have a right to yours.
This. All of this. Yes, it's a TV show, but it meant something to all of us, it represented hope and the ability to go out and find your own family when the one you were born into wasn't a good place to be. Supernatural was a safe place and I think a lot of us, maybe most of us, put some amount of trust into the creators that they would understand that it was millions of real people watching the show every week, not just faceless dollar signs. I've never been invested into a fandom for so many years before so I've never had any experience that even comes close to what this feels like. It truly is gut-wrenching. It's so much more than a ship.
Can’t believe they released the actual, fully real script for the finale. There’s a bit missing so not entirely sure how we get to the end but hey at least nobody gets nailed (except in the sexy way *wink wink*)
This is all I ever wanted. My heart hurts and I'm trying not to cry in the waiting room of the doctors office.
1.7% of people are intersex, 2% have green eyes, and 1.5 percent are redheads, but yeah red is a natural hair color, green is a natural eye color, and being intersex is a 'deformity'. Keep pretending gender isn't a social construct
0.0006% of people in the world live in Ireland and we all agree that People Live In Ireland.
