does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship
“mostly headcanoned”
we need to study the cognitive dissonance of the people on this website because everyone loooooves to mention November 5th and use Castiel’s love confession as a meme and yet somehow, for some absolutely batshit reason, everyone still cannot seem to grasp the fact that Destiel is canon and the fans have been unequivocally right all along for longer than that but at minimum for 3.5 years
what’s always been noteworthy here — but especially now to people finally paying more attention after Misha’s recent honest comments — is destiel went canon despite all odds, aka despite The CW’s censorship. and that censorship is also precisely why Dean didn’t get to reciprocate, Destiel remains unfinished, The CW never once publicly acknowledged Castiel’s confession while enforcing silence on the writers/showrunner/actors for years, and the ending of the show was a tragedy. not some bullshit of writers being “cowards” or “baiting” or whatever
like… that’s the takeaway here!!! destiel wasn’t ~confirmed~ by an actor man talking about it in April 2024. it was confirmed when it BECAME EXPLICIT CANON after a long and hard-fought battle of censorship that’s always been evident and was only partially won by the writers!! that censorship was even explicitly referenced in the plot of their story!!! the villain of the final season is a metaphor for a controlling TV executive!!! if you even care!!!
I’m sincerely not trying to jump on you OP but I feel absolutely fucking insane when I see posts like this with high note counts and no voices of dissent
this keeps happening in different ways. why does no one have any sense of object permanence about the fact that Castiel the gay angel canonically said “I love you” to Dean Winchester on network television after 12+ years of consistent cohesive queercoding and subtext attached to their relationship and both of their characters. the fans were right all along over 3 years ago and it trended over the U.S. presidential election. I know you all were there
