dean & castiel ➞ reductress headlines

bonus:

not to be insane but something about dean winchester as a character who was named after his grandmother, who from a young age is put in the caretaker position for his family, who puts on a hypermasculine exterior not because it suits him or he enjoys it but because he wants to but in order to be taken seriously by his father, who gets called “daddy’s little girl” by alastair trying to get under his skin, who screams that he doesn’t deserve to go to hell but also doesn’t believe he deserved to be saved makes me feel insane in the gender department

the empty is probably regretting taking cas because right about now cas is getting wax poetic and explaining all the ways in which he knew he loved dean, what he loves about dean, telling it about how many freckles dean has, talking about how dean gives the best hugs... you get the picture.

Cain & Dean Parallels

Fun fact: Misha actually forgot his line here and so he just stared out the window so Jensen’s face is his genuine reaction.

Best forgotten line ever.

Not to mention Jared’s unscripted “I think you hurt his feelings.”

the cw: hey south america, did you dub the unrequited love confession from castiel for episode 18?

south american network: …unrequited what?

the cw: you know, when cas dies after saying ‘i love you, bye dean’

south american network: yeah, ‘i love you’, then bi dean

the cw: bye, dean

south american network: bi dean

the cw: BYE, DEAN

in a perfect world we would get a reciprocated love confession where they’re not on the verge of death and when dean says “i love you” back all the lights in the bunker would explode because of how happy cas is

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

isn’t it funny how they had to get cas out of the picture while he was human in season 9 because otherwise they could not physically have stopped dean and cas having sex???? cas experiencing human feelings for the first time????? dean seeing cas dressed in his clothes????? tell me dean wouldn’t have bumped into cas coming out of the shower only wearing a towel and they wouldn’t have ended up in bed together i’m sorry but it was inevitable so they had to get cas out of there they clearly cannot control these characters

ok ok ok the sexy stuff is great but also just imagine how SOFT human!cas and dean could’ve been???

dean towelling cas’s hair because “if you don’t dry it properly you’ll get a cold”

dean making cas loads of different meals to see what he likes to eat, then teaching him to cook them (domestic helping cas chop veggies while holding his hands and putting his chin on cas’s shoulder)

actually dean just teaching cas to do anything human whilst cas stares at him lovingly (changing a tyre, stitching up clothes etc etc)

DEAN STITCHING UP/BANDAGING CAS’S WOUNDS!! HURT/COMFORT!!!! cas hating that he can’t heal himself or dean anymore and dean saying it’s okay but begging him to be more careful

dean hugging cas for literally any reason except it’s the first time cas isn’t covered by all those layers and he can really feel him and it just fucks dean up a bit because he wants him so badly

just,,,,,,,,,human!cas and bi disaster dean thank u and goodnight

EXCUSE ME?? FORMER SPN WRITER ERIC CHARMELO?? WE STAN

I’ve never been so confused in my life

May I remind you he’s the one who wrote “you have me confused with the other angel, you know the one in the dirty trench coat who is in love with you”

This basically confirms Destiel was being written as a romantic love story at least since season 6

#oh i don’t know dean #i think he was a little more than ‘okay’ to you

For those of you that think this is just about Destiel, I'm sorry you're wrong.

This is about Lily, who was the first of the special children to die. She was murdered and hung on a tower for shock value.

This is about Corbett, who was the first and only of the ghost facers to die. who's sexuality was used for comic relief (yes, I know we all enjoy the "Gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day" line, but let's call a spade a spade.

This is about Demian and Barns, whose relationship was used for comedic shock.

This is about Charlie, our first recurring LGBTQ+ character, whose brutal off screen death was used to "move the story along."

This is about Max Banes, whose story was forgotten about, even though there was obviously more to tell.

This is about Kaia, who was killed after expressing interest in Claire. And claire, for being almost erased from the narrative after the confirmation that she felt the same.

This is about AU Charlie, who lost TWO separate girlfriends and then was killed herself. (And erasing the scene where she awkwardly talks to Sam about her tryst with ROWENA)

And yes, it is about Castiel. The NB Angel in a Male vessel who fell in love with a man, and was killed after confessing said love.

And Dean Winchester, because honestly, who knows, but all signs point a certain way, but it is not our story to tell. it was his. And he was killed before he could. Before he could even explore what it means to be truly free, he was killed.

These aren't the only instances on the show either. There are several throughout ALL of the seasons where LGBTQ+ people have been used for comedy or shock value and then never heard from or seen again.

They could have done so much by just letting three little words, Hell, two fucking words, on screen, but they refused to make a stand and chose to pander to a dying audience.

So yes, we will celebrate the "Y yo a ti, Cas." We will try to figure out what went wrong in translation or editing, because this is so much bigger than Destiel.

For those of you who see these examples and say " see, you've always had rep, you just wanted to see Castiel and Dean together." Let me ask you? Is killing or writing off every LGBTQ+ member on your show really good rep?

For those of you who say " Well, Dean was always straight and changing it this late in the Game would have been pandering!" While, I know alot of people saw him as uber heterosexual, some of us never did, but that's not the point. People do come out later in life you know? Being anything other than strictly heterosexual is terrifying. There are so many risks. It takes years to build up the courage to be yourself, some people never even get the chance.it would not have been pandering, it would have been groundbreaking. It would have let people see that it is never too late to be free. But they didn't want to do that.

For those of you who think it was fetishization of two "hot dudes"..... maybe for some, and those people should be ashamed, because sexuality should never be fetishized. But get this, the story of Destiel was loved by all members of the community, as well as straight people too, and believe me, some of those members have no desire to see two dudes getting it on. It was the story of unconditional love and respect that drew us in.

This isn't just about Destiel. It IS about showing people that it's okay to love who you love and being free to be who you are, regardless of what society thinks.

So yes, we will go feral. We deserve it.

WHY BLURRY WIFE NOT EILEEN

Explanation 1 of 2 in my mind as to why Castiel wasn’t in that hallucinatory nightmare punchline of a 15 year long hate crime finale

Bonus:

this makes the rumored dean crying and shouting in the streets hit different.

this makes the over consumption of alcohol and drunk dean hit different.

this makes dean ready to sacrifice him and his brother to bring cas back hit different.

this makes dean believing he’s better than a killer cause of cas hit different.

this makes the trench coat in the back hit different.

this makes dean smiling at the mention of cas in heaven hit different.

IT ALL HITS DIFFERENT FUCKFIDKDKDKD

is it safe to go to bed now or is fucking cw australia gonna release the deancas sextape on tiktok

Cas: Dean do you love me

Dean:
