—Regarding Dean, 12x11; Urban Cowboy, 1980

There’s honestly so much layered queer-coding on Dean Winchester that it fucks me up. I remember on my first watch through of the series as it aired, I was frequently getting bisexual vibes off Dean. Strong ones. And it was SUBTLE, and it was hard to explain to people. I didn’t have a good REASON TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT. It was beyond the eyesex and the gay jokes in the show.

And it wasn’t until some time later, viewing the show as a whole, and catching all the references. The obscure(and not so obscure) movie references and cinematic parallels sprinkled liberally into the show ALL SUGGEST that Dean also has an attraction to men. It is the subtextiest subtext ever.

It’s similar to the “Porky’s 2: The Next Day” reference. In 4.05 “Monster Movie”, Dean says Sam would never guess what movie Dean would want his life to be, and Sam correctly guesses “Porky’s II”. Which, if you HAVEN’T SEEN IT, is not only about men who are scared to show off their feminine side and dress as fairies, but also has FAR LESS female nudity than the first movie, and significantly more MALE NUDITY. But would most viewers catch this? No. It’s a notoriously unpopular “bad” cult movie and most people haven’t SEEN IT. The pop culture joke that makes it work, is that people know the far more popular “Porky’s”, which is a pervy sophomoric sex comedy, and that it’s the “crappy sequel”. So the joke still works, and doesn’t COME OFF AS QUEER to the casual viewer. It just seems like Dean likes pervy sex comedy movies, and he especially likes one that’s thought of as being crappy.

The sheer amount of shit the writers slid in to reference Dean as queer is actually A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT. They put in there REALLY OBVIOUS references for those who catch them, but that the average viewer would miss. That is what queer coding IS.

Dean’s flop back onto the bull is meaningless to someone who hasn’t seen Urban Cowboy, most wouldn’t even catch it. But for the ones who DO catch it, the scene IMMEDIATELY CALLS TO MIND the cowboy coming up and kissing her. The regular straight viewers of this scene who catch it could simply say “oh it’s just a reference to a movie with a similar scene”. And yet, they didn’t use Bud’s scenes? They SPECIFICALLY used Sissy’s SEXY mechanical bull riding scene where a cowboy comes up and kisses her.

The negative space of this scene is just SO LOUD.

love when an amv maker uses that scene where dean is looking down the barrel of his gun at jack and then it cuts to jack looking back at him. because i know they cut out the ridiculous clip of jarpad running through the woods between those shots. just like every other amv maker before them

dean winchester is the true accidental perfect americana boy. his favorite authors are vonnegut and kerouac. his favorite movie is tombstone. he loves his mom. he cooks. he knows the words to every zeppelin song. he makes mixtapes. he keeps a cross over his bed. he loves his brother. he owns cowboy boots. and he saved the whole world for his family.

the day he died, john who was both a father and a god to the boy he'd raised in his image, told dean he might have to kill the brother he'd raised as his own son, who he'd protected his whole life, whose health and wellbeing he'd placed above his own since he was barely old enough to reach the kitchen counters.

and for the next fifteen years dean went to such extremes to avoid ever having to see sam die at his own hand or someone else's that he sold his own soul and helped an angel trick sam into saying yes to possession and killed death itself.

and then.

dean faced god.

and he told god, "the whole cain-and-abel thing. us dead. whatever. i'll kill sam. sam will kill me. we'll kill each other. okay? you pick. but, first, you got to put everything back the way it was. the people, the birds. cas. you've gotta bring him back."

and honestly i still feel very calm and normal about that after thinking about it for the past three and a half years

I was not at the panel today but came across an audio recording from the panel. Here is the transcript from that question. I wanted to be as true as possible to what I heard so I included Jensen’s stutters, only cutting out when he says “um” as a filler. I also put italics around words he sounds like he is very carefully choosing and/or emphasizing. Also, quotes around “resolution” when it sounds like he’s doing that thing where you repeat the question in your answer.

Q: How do you see Cas’s return to Supernatural and how would you like Cas’s confession to be resolved?

J: Confession to be resolved. Ok, starting out with a banger. I - I don’t - I don’t necessarily know Cas’s confession needs to be “resolved” cause I don’t think there’s anything to necessarily “resolve” about it. I think he gave - he gave a confess- or he gave his - his testament and his - his speech to Dean at the end there, which was I think a long time coming. And - and it was beautiful and it was heartfelt and it was true and it was raw and it was real. And so I- I- I- I don’t- I don’t necessarily think that there needs to be some “resolution” to- to that. I think- I think Dean took that in, I think he lost one of his closest allies, one of his best friends in that moment. And he understands that- that Cas loved him. And, that’s something that Dean will- if- if- the opportunity comes back for that reunion it’s one of those like, it doesn’t need to be said it doesn’t need to be talked about it’s an unsaid, under- you know. (Stutters) it’s- it’s an- well, it’s not a subtext. It was clear text! (Audience claps) and the- the accepting of that happened in that moment when Cas was- was taken away and Dean was sitting there on the floor and realized that he- he had- had not only lost a- a- a brother in arms but had also lost one of his closest- the closest people to him. And- and I- you know I’ve said that when you find your people it doesn’t matter who or what or where or why or when they are, you find your people. And they found each other and I think that that’s- that’s always gonna be there whenever- whenever they do end up coming back or whenever they do have a reunion, it’s just understood.

i think it's important to mention that Jensen actually corrected someone who shouted "it's in the subtext" or "like subtext" when he said the "it's not subtext, it was clear text" part

Yes yes Dean and Cas are in love and they want to gaze tenderly into one another's eyes and throw themselves into many nights of passionate gay love making, we know all that. But guys, they're best friends. Have we really stopped to think about that? Mr. Dean "can't have friends in this line of work" Winchester has a best friend :((
