Karri's Top Ten On-Screen Reasons Destiel Is Happening

I’m a believer. I believe that Destiel is happening. Not in some far-off shipper dreamland future - I believe it’s already begun.

Taken as a whole, there is a distinct shift in tone midway through season eight regarding Dean and Cas’ relationship – and more specifically, regarding the observations other people make about their relationship. There are oodles of gorgeous, emotional scenes between the pair of them in the first half of season eight, through Purgatory and beyond, but all of them can be explained away as deep friendship and left at that (there are two notable exceptions – more on those later). I love “Where’s the angel?” and Dean’s determination not to leave Cas behind as much as the next shipper, but Dean would never in a million years leave any friend behind if he could help it, whether or not they’re platonic. He certainly wouldn’t leave one behind in order to save his own hide, which is what Cas was asking him to do. I love the hug, I love the peach-fuzz, I love the way Cas says Dean’s name by the river. I love Dean’s grief and relief and guilt and outbursts and everything he feels at Cas’ return. And then there’s “Talk to me.” All beautiful, beautiful things for this relationship. (Please take a moment with me for the feels. Good? Okay.)

BUT none of these are explicitly romantic. Yes, they can be taken that way, but they don’t have to be, they can simply be marks of a fabulous, meaningful friendship that’s getting better all the time.

All of this changes in the second half of season eight.

This super self-indulgent meta is going to examine ten moments, largely from the latter half: ten pieces of hard evidence, ten concrete examples that are really hard to explain away, ten reasons I believe Destiel is happening. It’s all in the questions asked and the answers unspoken – what is purposefully drawn to our attention, and the attention of the characters around them. It’s what makes the leap from friendship to something more.

Ready? Let’s begin.

season 8 was a gift, it’s the whole reason I’m here

please notice that most of these points come from Dean’s side of things, not Cas’

this love is not one-sided and it never has been

Honestly we need to dust off all our old S8 meta about what the show was building towards, why it was important that Sam was involved. Dabb era validates Carver era frustrations and analysis in every way. Had S8 ended then and there I think the show would have followed through as best as they could into text. We weren’t wrong about this story then. We’re not wrong now. The S8 ghost narrative deserves its true ending.

ngl before i knew it was a love confession i thought it would be that “dean you’re like a brother to me and blah blah” bullshit, but when cas said “because the one thing i want is something i know i can’t have” i was like wAIT A SECOND WTF IS HAPPENING HERE but then he said “i cared about you…i cared about sam, i cared about jack…” and suddenly i was like ah shit here we go again, he’s gonna tell dean he’s like a brother to him and he loves all of them, it’s “i love you, i love all of you” all over again… but then he kept going and going aND I CARED ABOUT THE WHOLE WORLD BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU CHANGED ME, DEAN" i was okkkkk……….weird………..what exactly he’s trying to say…………and then BOOM I LOVE YOU AND ALL MADE SENSE, SERIOUSLY IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO UNDERSTAND HE WAS SAYING HE’S IN LOVE WITH DEAN, BC WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED SO MANY TIMES LMAO

freckles-and-wings

things that will haunt me to the day i die because this timeline is fucking insane:

- jensen ackles playing a bi character in ‘blonde’ (2001) and having a relationship with a character named cas who’s played by patrick dempsey

- the irony of the actor who plays dr sexy (one of the first textual instances of bi dean) being a satire of patrick dempsey in grey’s anatomy

- that same actor making a comeback in a different role and talking to castiel about a gay church member

- dean winchester’s canonical first love being named cassie

- castiel taking over anna’s romantic arc because fans liked him

- misha collins tweeting ‘you’re not crazy’ in 2013 to those who knew destiel was purposefully being written in

- putin’s resignation trending together with canon destiel???

- canon destiel episode being postponed due to a pandemic and magically lining up to the us elections

- destiel becoming canon while biden gets elected president after misha fought for months to get him there

can you understand the sheer amount of coincidence and fatefulness that occured for this to all line up like it did

Yeah sex is great, but have you ever spent twelve years being told you’re delusional only for the truth to come out and everyone realizes you were right?

Dean and Cas being manipulated by supernatural beings into believing their love for each other is unrequited.

*screams into the void*

oh to be jensen ackles signing on to play a red blooded all american main character in 2005 and ending up playing love interest to lucifers insane gay little brother

i love this destiel news i have zero investment in supernatural but you dont have big fandoms like this anymore. literally everyone on social media knows what youre talking about when you talk about it. this is the first time in so long ive seen the entire internet collectively lose its gourd over something that wasnt horrific tragedy and existentially horrific news. feels really good.

ok all y'all non-spn bloggers have had your fun now forget that destiel exists

disc80s

putin isn’t resigning thats just a rumor started by tabloids and has 0 credibility, just a heads up!

thank u but i choose to continue spreading this false information

brightereyes

it’s time for us interference in russian politics

viterant

You know i shouldn’t be surprised to see an american mutual reblog this, but i will reiterate for the people in the back:

Our suffering under this administration isn’t a fucking joke for you to laugh at.

I can understand spreading misinformation due to a mistake, or not checking your sources, but doing so deliberately? Yeah sure, go ahead if you want to alienate and anger every russian that is still on this site. We do not have the privilege to laugh at “haha putin is resigning because of destiel” jokes because we ARE LIVING THROUGH IT. And trust me, if you think Trump is bad, try living your entire life in an authoritarian dystopia with a quality of life times worse that the states you berate so much. And also, with little chance of change.

And we don’t appreciate being given false hope.

If after this day I hear one more complaint about “election interference”, I will straight up link this idiotic post. Your lack of self-awareness as a nation is already baffling to the rest of the world (blah blah they affected the election with media and propaganda - hello? You’ve been doing that for literal decades, on many countries, including russia, welcome to the reality), but this? This is something else entirely.
