Trashtiel

Misha is my sunshine. Absolute destiel trash tbh.

[suchdestieltrash]

Brokebacknatural

Cas’ home is where Dean is. Cas is back so Dean is really happy again. Cas is Dean’s big win.They have movie nights together. Cas can quote Dean's favorite films. Cas’ existence has suddenly made Dean like Jack. That DOMESTIC AF car scene. Cas knows how Dean sleeps and knows just how into cowboys Dean is wink wink nudge nudge errrrmmmm

[postmodernmulticoloredcloak]

It’s almost like the cinematography is trying to tell us that Cas is the one or something.

Destiel in 13x05

Of course we get to see the Dean/Cas reunion at the end of the episode, so let’s start with the beginning:

Dean meets Billie a.k.a. “Death” (nice) and promptly mentions Cas…

(low blow sister)

x

…and he mentions Cas again and you can clearly see how broken Dean really is

(he doesn’t care if he dies or not)

x

But then he gets a call and guess who it is. Yes, it’s Cas

(and you can see hope in his eyes)

x

and FINALLY they see each other again (no I’m not crying)

x

IF THIS SCENE ISN’T ROMANTIC THEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS

[englishlitgirl]

This is the face of a man who has given up on life. A man who is an empty shell of his former self. Who can’t even fake a smile or pretend to like the life he has chosen for himself. He spends his quiet time self medicating with alcohol and listening to music to quiet his own tumultuous thoughts. Dean is truly broken without his angel. And lets be clear…it is ALL about Cas. The writers have made that crystal clear this season. Dean stayed beside Cas’s body, he alone prepared him for burial. He feels the loss differently than his brother in a very acute way. I cannot wait to see the inevitable reunion that will restore the smile to his face and the look of hope in his eye. Its going to be glorious.

[suchdestieltrash]

He just loves him so much *sobs* 

[tinkdw]

Closure on Cas’ depression arc. He saved himself

Castiel’s depression (the empty, dark and void) exposes what he is scared of and what he regrets. It textualises through these brief but momentous moments the terrible aspects of what he’s felt for the last 2 years. It’s a montage.

“I know what you hate, who you love, what you fear…”

This causes Castiel so much pain, he is heartbroken and devastated, it’s written all over his face. 

He could so easily do as his depression tells him, lay down, take it, accept emptiness and nothingness.

BUT he chooses not to. 

Castiel then confronts his past deaths and pain, we have a snapshot of these, it’s quick but it’s clear. This is the expositional moment to explain what he has felt in the past, what happens next and where this is moving towards.

He emerges defiant, to declare:

“I’m already saved. You can pace and you can preen, you can scream and yell and remind me of my failings but somehow I’m awake and I will stay awake and I will keep you awake until we both go insane”.

He tells his depression:

“I will fight you, fight you and fight you forever… for eternity”.

And what is his reward?

Castiel is reborn, triumphant, like a phoenix from the flames into the sunlight.

THE SYMBOLISM OF THIS IS SO PERFECT I’M SCREAMING.

I need your help! Please read until the end

Hi, I’m coming here, even though I’m not using tumblr a lot lately, to ask you for help.

I need to help my godmother to earn some money, in 2015 she found out she had breast cancer, and without anybody’s help except her son and mine, she had to go through all the chemotherapy, radiotherapy, stay at home unable to do any work, and all the other procedures.

But to pay all that, the medicines and doctors appointments she had to get loan from the bank, and not pay some other bills.

She is going to lose her job now in December, they are firing her because she is sick and still has to take medicines (that’s against the law but she entered with a lawsuit and lost it) and just because they don’t like her.

But she still has all these bills to pay that are getting bigger every mont because she can’t pay them all with the little salary and still be able to eat and pay normal bills like water and light.

I come here to ask your for help, even the most little amount it’s going to help, just 1$ (American dolar) it’s worth about R$3,50 (reais) depending on the day.

With R$30.000,00 she can pay every little thing she owes, but I’m asking to collect just R$10.000,00 to help her as soon as I can, now in November 5th it’s her birthday and I’m trying to get as much money as I can to help her (even though it might take longer than that to get all the money).

She already lost an apartment that was under her name, sold almost everything she has, and if she doesn’t pay the bills they need to take other things from her, but she doesn’t have anything they can take.

Please help me the way you can, 1$ it’s enough, but if you can’t, please pass this on so others can help, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

To help you can donate here

Thank you for reading until the end

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISHA

Happy birthday @mishacollins. I couldn’t possibly put down in words all the ways in which you’ve helped me and changed my life for the better because I would be here for days. I will say however that you are my savior. You light up the world with your smile and your soul, and have brought sunshine to my darkest days. You’re so selfless and genuine and you constantly inspire me to be the best version of myself. I will forever be grateful to you for making me smile and laugh during one of the hardest times of my life and giving me strength and guidance through your words and actions. You’ve taught me that I’m capable of anything if I just believe in myself. You have given me the confidence to just be me and I’m so proud to call you my hero. You deserve the world <3

Cas and Dean could have been totally platonic.

But they decided to make it romantic.

During seasons 4-5 we could have had all the Cas / Dean scenes minus the UST. We could have had heated arguments that turned into a mutual understanding and Cas learning that he had always been different, always loved Humanity and through both Sam and Dean fallen and decided to rebel to help them.

They could have kept it as this:

But they didn’t. They made it all about Dean and added scenes like this:

Side note: they could also have TOTALLY portrayed Dean as a dude-bro straight as a rod hetero guy.

But they didn’t

In fact there’s so much talk about Dean being bisexual it’s just… everywhere, not just on tumblr but in so many reviews and articles about the show e.g. just the latest one I’m aware of:

http://uncannymagazine.com/article/dean-winchester-commander-shepard-walk-bar-fanon-matters/

Then throughout the later seasons, they could have backtracked. They could have said hey, that was all fun, but nah, let’s keep Cas and Dean as a more brotherly familial love, to tie in with the “family don’t end in blood” theme.

I would have TOTALLY gone with that, happy Dean and Cas and Sam, all together as brothers, could have been AWESOME.

But they didn’t.

They consistently wrote them through ROMANTIC storytelling.

I’m just going from the season 7 resurrection because prior to this it was most likely not ever going to be endgame if it’s true they were going to kill Cas off.

Season 7:

- They could have not cast someone who looks like Dean’s female twin as Cas’ wife when he is amnesiac.

- They could have not had Meg call Dean his boyfriend first and make Meg/Cas romantic while Dean looks on with both Daphne and Meg with hurt in his eyes.

- They could have not introduced a queer character and make her immediately bond with Dean right at this point and then continue this theme over the years.

Season 8: 

- Purgatory could have been a bro-ment, except they gave that role to Benny and placed Cas firmly in the romantic role, especially post purgatory with Dean’s visions being paralleled to Sam’s of Jess and his boner moment in 8x07, literally, wtf, that is not brotherly affection. 

- They could have not had multiple episodes after Cas’ putting himself in harms way to save Dean in purgatory that revolved around a Supernatural being doing this for the human they loved.

- Then a whole story around brainwashing which one gets the other out of through telling them I love you I need you, followed by a whole storyline of Dean behaving like a JILTED LOVER and Cas trying to fix it, meanwhile Sam looks like the awkward person caught in the middle between a couple fighting, NOT his own two brothers!

Season 9: 

- They could have had a story where Dean chose Sam over his best friend and newly found blood-brother, who he did a blood pact with and loved dearly in Bad Boys, but no, it was a ROMANTIC parallel. 

- They could have had Cas not have sex with April or it be Sam who killed her and clutched his face in agony, so Gadreel felt it and healed him while Dean was knocked out. They could have then had Dean NOT sensually wrapping his mouth around ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PENIS SHAPED BURRITO whilst making sexual innuendos to Cas. But they did.

- They could have had the bar scene in 9x09 be all about the 3 brothers having a great time together, playing darts, having fun and chilling, rather than having a flirting winking thing going on between Dean and Cas and Sam just looking on open mouthed like WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY AM I HERE. 

- They could have had a story that wasn’t focused all around sex in Rock and a Hard place, but they chose it to be sexual (when that ep was supposed to come right after 9x06).

- They could have had Ephraim going after people who were in pain and suffering due to familial loss when he went after Cas, but they didn’t, they made it a ROMANTIC parallel again.

- They could have NOT had a renowned romantic song about loneliness, a deep shade of blue, the sun not shining anymore (when there had been so much Cas = sun visuals this season prior to this) and being “without love” with an “I NEED YOU” playing over softly interspersed images of Cas and Dean’s sad faces, when they had to separate due to duty (seriously, the one shot of Sam is just of him looking at Dean and worrying about how he is feeling during the intro before the lyrics play. Pfft).

- They could have had Dean help Cas get ready for his date by doing a Charlie-esque totally platonic scene where he took him shopping for a sweater and jeans, rather than making it look like he was undressing him with his eyes, forgetting to leave cos he’s just staring at him and looking longingly at him while calling him Tony Manero, a heavily subtextually bisexual character.

- They could have NOT paralleled Dean and Cas’ huge emotional traumatic break up in 6x20 with canon star-crossed lovers in 9x20. But they did.

- They could have had Metatron talk about how much Cas cared about puny humans and how he’s a sap for the mud monkeys, rather than making it ALL ABOUT SAVING DEAN WINCHESTER and using words like HE’S IN LOVE (giant ass pause)…. with Humanity.

- They could have then not had Amara telling Dean that he literally represents humanity and Chuck backing this up. Pff.

Season 10:

- They could have used Hannah as an actual romantic love interest for Cas rather than paralleling her unrequited love with Cas’ perceived unrequited love of Dean and using her to EXPOSE this. Or they could have just not made Cas’ story sexual/about romance AT ALL.

-They could have had SAM be the person Dean gets soft around instead of Cas or if they wanted to make Cas the brotherly figure, they could have done so in a way that didn’t scream ROMANCE like putting them in a date-like set up, making Crowley call Cas Dean’s BOYFRIEND, exposing how he’s doing it all for Dean and dying for him whilst paralleling this to Hannah’s romantic/sexual interest in Cas. 

- They could have NOT repeatedly paralleled Cas with Cains’ WIFE in the Dean/Cain parallel, the love of his life, who softened him and made him want to be a better man.

-They could have had Dean get just as squicked about Destiel as W*ncest in the 10x05 fan fiction episode but they DIDNT. They made Dean squicky about W*ncest and testing the water with Sam by mentioning Destiel, then getting embarrassed by it instead of grossed out.

Season 11:

- They could at any time have made Cas/Sam stronger by the way by this point. But they didn’t. They purposefully made Sam/Cas less strong than Dean/Cas for *reasons* and those aren’t because Cas and Sam don’t care about each other and love each other as brothers/best friends because they repeatedly state that they DO. So go figure.

- They could have had the Angels torturing Cas as not making it sexual whilst talking about his loyalty and love for the Winchesters. But they did.

- They could have had Dean worry for and fight for Cas while he is possessed by Lucifer in a totally brotherly fashion as he would with Sam, but they made it ROMANTIC.

- They could have had the banshee in 11x11 go after people (again in parallel to 9x06) who were in pain due to familial loss rather than ROMANTIC loss when it went after Dean. They could have had the heartbroken manager look and say things that DIDN’T remind us of Cas before this happened, BUT THEY DID. They could have left it there but instead they gave us Mildred telling Dean that he’s PINING for someone. Just before he tells us in 11x13 that he is NOT pining for AMARA. So WHO is he PINING for?! Who has gone missing AGAIN? Who is he repeatedly over this and the next season worrying about?

-The monster in 11x13 didn’t have to be a DARKEST DESIRES monster (and not a love monster) and the story focus on unrequited love and therefore expose that although Dean’s feelings are of dark desire here, he states they are NOT love and that he ISNT pining for Amara…. SEE ABOVE.

-Amara could have gotten to Dean through a MULTITUDE of different options, through their own apparently strong bond. But they DIDNT. They did it through CAS and specifically THROUGH HIS HEART. I MEAN JEEZ.

- They could have NOT introduced at this point two characters who are gruff awesome hunter men who TOTALLY personality wise, story-wise and visually through their shoulder patting interactions are GIANT METAPHORS for Dean and Cas, while referring to the earlier ‘settling down with a hunter’ discussion in 11x04 through DEAN curiously wondering “what’s it like, settling down with a hunter?” after having mixed up brother / romantic vibes off them.

-They could have had the ‘you’re our brother’ moment in the car in 11x23 feel wonderful and fulfilling but instead (because of all this previously and the way it was framed) it felt OFF and WRONG. Because this isn’t the full truth is it Dean.

- They could have not had the whole season be a giant metaphor for this through Amara mixing up a brotherly and romantic “bond” (their words not mine) through Chuck and Dean.

THIS WHOLE SEASON COULD HAVE NOT BEEN A GIANT EXPOSITION FOR DEAN’S ROMANTIC FEELINGS FOR CAS AND HIS OWN INNER MONOLOGUE OF SELF WORTH AND ACCEPTANCE, LEADING TO HIS ARC AND CLIMAX OF THIS IN SEASON 12 AND SPECIFICALLY 12x22.

Season 12

- They could have introduced Cas to Mary as their brother from the OFF but at no point did either of the boys tell her that Cas is like a brother to them. She just… assumed he fit in as “one of her boys” and in the family by proxy and is the one who consoles CAS while he is not able to function while Dean is missing (but was able to function totally perfectly to find Sam with Dean) and she always looks to DEAN when talking about Cas. I WONDER WHY.

- They could have NOT had Crowley call Cas a “love slave” or had Dean glance over at Cas when he picked up the satiny pink panties. But they did.

- They could have NOT had an ambiguous double-over voice of Sam telling Mary “I love you” and Dean talking to Cas on the phone. That was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY and just made everyone pause and rewind to figure out what was said.

- They could have had a backstory filling in the blanks around nephilim that didn’t also have a story about an Angel falling in love with a Human and him projecting this onto Cas and Dean as his human weakness whilst also explaining that Angels are not supposed to have romantic or sexual feelings for humans at all and that it means they are bad, wrong and should be killed, that it is a sacred oath not to do so, meanwhile showing Cas as extremely duty bound and still loyal even though he has fallen.

- They could have had Cas CLEARLY tell the boys he loves them as family and they are dear dear brothers to him. Instead we got a season of double clarifications leading up to this where it was CONSISTENT that the first was to one person and the second was to everyone, on top of every other time Cas has done this the first is ALWAYS to Dean, so the ambiguously seeming “I love you, I love all of you” was blatantly a romantic / familial divide between Dean and Sam. Before you even look at the fact that he can’t hold eye contact for the first but looks at Sam for the second and the reactions of Dean and Sam show that they know exactly what this means. 

- They could have had Dean give Cas ANYTHING OTHER THAN A ROMANTIC TROPE 101 lesson 1 first 5 minutes into the class MIXTAPE as a gift of ‘familial bonding’. But no, they used a romantic one.

- They could have not used the band chosen on the tape a band that is consistently made romantic through the Mary/John link and even before this a way for guys to get into Jo’s pants and a way for the siren to first try to seduce Dean.

- Throughout the whole show they could have given Dean any romantic love interest where it wasn’t directly linked since season 7 with him losing Cas, feeling like he just wants comfort and SETTLING for someone else. Then in 12x18 they could have NOT made this totally clear by at this point showing it to us through him firstly worrying about Cas AGAIN, in a 2 season long repeated hammering home of Dean worrying about Cas more and more and Sam trying to console him, then settling for the omelette right afterwards and being UNSATISFIED by it.

- They could have NOT paralleled Sam pulling Dean away to the rift with Dean pulling Sam back from Jess.

- They could have NOT paralleled Dean falling to his knees as a standard romantic trope to Cain doing it for Colette.

- They could have set the whole thing up for YEARS so that Sam and Dean have a much more similar bond with Cas, a three-way brotherly bond that could totally fit with the “family don’t end in blood” theme, just as Bobby was their surrogate father and Jody their surrogate mother, Cas could have been both their additional, chosen brother, given that Dean and Sam were so forced into their codependency, their choosing to be together and add another brother could so nicely cement their own bond too by adding Cas in his way.

But instead they chose to make their relationships palpably and obviously different, even though Sam loves Cas as a brother, for *reasons*.

In Conclusion:

EVERY TIME Dean/Cas has been narratively paralleled with 2 people on the show it’s been a ROMANTIC couple (eg. Violet/David, Maggie/Donald, Jesse/Cesar, Bobby/Karen, Mary/John, Betsy/Cacao, Chronos/Lydia, Cain/Colette…) not BROTHERS (as Dean/Sam have e.g. Lucifer/Michael, the kids from 1x18).

When Cas and Dean have been targeted by monsters it’s often because of a ROMANTIC reason - one which on the surface might look like it’s for example Nora or Amara but is textually shown NOT to be, meanwhile setting their own interactions in the same episode between each other as heavily subtextually romantic.

They could have made Dean/Cas a brotherly relationship and that could have been AWESOME and totally relevant to the themes of the show. But they CHOSE to make it romantic.

I SHIP DEAN/CAS AS A ROMANTIC PAIRING BECAUSE THE SHOW MADE ME DO IT.

[clarkegriffins]

You’re my family. I love you.

[suchdestieltrash]

Happy Birthday Jared. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and SO MANY others. Your strength and weaknesses and your honesty have helped people in more ways that you can imagine. Your openness about your struggles with mental health have comforted so many people and made them feel not so alone. Your campaigns have saved so many lives. The fact that you still continue to smile and keep your head up no matter how hard you are finding things is truly incredible and motivates me everyday to do the same. So truly, from the bottom of my heart, have a great birthday because you deserve so much love and happiness <3

LOOK AT IT AND HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY CAS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PROBLEM SOLVER, A SOLDIER, A DEUS EX MACHINA TO HIM

I WILL BITE OFF MY OWN TONGUE AND SPIT IT IN YOUR FACE

[antivancoffeelover]

it’s like even breathing air on earth while cas is in purgatory is more pain than he can handle

[spn-rants]

I cry every time.

[tinkdw]

Pfff even the antis have gotten to the point where they can’t refute canon so they acknowledge that Dean loves Cas (like a brother, cos yeah, of course that is the one time Dean talks about his emotions freely and clearly without sublimating anything, duh) but that they don’t like it.

Tough cookies. He does love him and it’s only going to get stronger now he’s actually seen him die in front of his face and collapsed in shock while not even being worried about being face to face with Lucifer as Sam was and just looking at him wide eyed in awe like wtf just happened.

It’s going to be so great.

[jenmisheel]

bi!dean by episode

a guide to bi!dean in canon, sorted by episode and season!* // long post warning.  [not ship oriented]

season one

1x01- pilot (watch)

this isn’t part of the pilot but it feels like the fact that dean was based on a bisexual character who was based on a bisexual man should be in this post somewhere 

bi set design at the gas station 

dean flirts with both jess and the male cops (on two different occasions) (meta)

1x04- phantom traveller (watch)

dean checks out every male mechanic in the airplane hangar, smiling and leering at all of them, without paying attention to the planes. (meta)

man on the plane winks at dean, dean is taken aback but waves anyway before carrying on with the EMF meter. the man apparently had a gaydar which dean was definitely on. (meta)

1x07- hook man (watch)

first guy they see is a guy bent over the hood of a car, eating a banana. the guy then notices dean and can’t stop staring at him.

dean checks out a half naked guy, while reading ‘Backside’ magazine. tells sam he missed a spot near the guy’s butt after looking at it

dean checks out a guy at the party and winks at him, and then a few moments later, turns around to check him out again, and then again when they’re leaving.

dean is disappointed he can’t hook up with someone that night; says it while staring at the same guy (meta #1, #2)

1x12- faith (watch)

dean gets given the heart of an openly gay teacher (meta)

1x15- the benders (watch)

dean winks at a bunch of men at a bar, before spending an hour in the men’s bathroom. coincidence?

the bar set includes a sign saying ‘men’s’ and another sign saying ‘thursday night meat’ 

dean fondles a man’s pelvis bone the next day

meta, more meta

season two

2x02- everybody loves a clown (watch) 

dean sees ash on the pool table, turns around but looks back to check out his ass

ash tells dean he likes him, dean says thanks, dean and ash staring at each other until jo pulls their attention away, sam looks lowkey awkward

dean does his flirty face when ash winks at him

dean tells ash to call him, then does his pleased-with-himself smirk 

dean drinks from a beer bottle with cupid’s bow and arrow on it, and then ash drinks from dean’s bottle 

ash makes a queer movie reference (pink flamingos) then watches dean to see his reaction, to gauge dean’s interest level 

dean/ash meta

2x05- simon said (watch)

sam calls for ash, but he doesn’t answer the door. the second dean calls for him, ash opens the door, naked 

contrast between sam and dean’s reactions to seeing ash naked- sam is surprised, but quickly gets over it and  goes about his business.  dean, on the other hand gets a look at ash’s dick and screws his eyes shut. His reaction is overblown. he avoids looking at his in an extremely pronounced way. his reaction is not in proportion to what is happening in the scene. just before, he had dodged the eyes of Jo, his designated female love interest at the time, in the same way. he basically has the same reaction to Jo and to Ash, but Ash is way more naked. (roughly quoted from)  

dean/jo and dean/ash parallels

dean/ash meta 

dean tell’s sam ‘it’s like being roofied man, it doesn’t count’ which sounds like something a closeted guy would say, like ‘we were drunk man, it doesn’t count’ or ‘it was only blow jobs man, it doesn’t count’. this also suggests that dean has done things with other men while roofied or drunk. (while doing stuff with men under the influence of roofies doesn’t necessarily make you bisexual, the way in which dean says it suggests that ‘it didn’t count!’ is an excuse he’s used before)

2x11- playthings (watch)

hotel owner asumes dean and sam are queer;  dean then brings it up afterwards, asking sam why everyone assumes they’re gay. (meta) 

sam says ‘Well, you are kinda butch. Probably think you’re overcompensating’

dean’s reaction

2x17- heart (watch)

madison says ’you get a few scotches in him and he started hitting on anyone in a five-mile radius. you know the type.’ sam, after looking at dean, says he does know the type.(notice the gender neutral terms)

2x19- folsom prison blues (watch)

dean flirting with the cop taking his picture 

dean wants to go to the prison to help deacon, and even though sam keeps saying they should leave, dean refuses. he seems to like deacon a lot and wants his respect. 

dean and deacon were very hands on during the episode

2x21- all hell breaks loose part one (watch)

ash is wearing a new watch that he hasn’t worn in previous episodes, but dean is able to identify him by it later in the episode, suggesting that dean’s visited ash a few times off-screen

dean is paralleled to lily; who killed her girlfriend by touching her, and the scene cuts directly from dean’s touching of dead ash to her. 

season three 

3x01- the magnificent seven (watch)

doublemint twins; dean having a m/m/f threesome. (meta: #1, #2, #3)

a song with the lyrics  ‘any love is good love’ plays while dean is in the motel with the twins

3x04- sin city (watch)

dean’s happy to see ritchie, but his face falls when he sees the woman in ritchie’s room

ritchie goes into sam and dean’s room, and dean immediately begins taking off his clothes like it’s something he’s used to doing in front of this guy. (which it probably is. dean saved ritchie from a succubus in the past, so they’re obviously intimately familiar.) he takes off his fed suit clothes and rolls up his sleeves, something we’ve never seen him do before this moment on the show (meta)

dean checks out the demon!priest guy when they’re done interviewing him

3x10- dream a little dream of me (watch)

dean asks if sam’s having a sexual dream about angelina jolie, or brad pitt. dean thinks that it’s normal and completely understandable to make ‘happy noises’ while dreaming of brad pitt.

season four

4x05- monster movie (watch)

dean says that if his life could be a movie, he’d pick porky’s 2. (meta)

4x06- yellow fever (watch)

dean gets drunk and flirts with a cop

sam has to pull him away (while coincidentally, a mural of wild horses is painted on the wall behind them)

4x08- wishful thinking (watch)

mentions duchovny, makes a thinking-about-sexy-stuff face, notices sam is looking and quickly schools his expression

4x14- sex and violence (watch)

dean’s siren is a man (meta)

dean x nick mirrored with sam and the woman doctor

dean ignores the strippers, his attention on nick

sam and dean both thought the siren infected victims through sex; and when sam finds out dean’s been infected, he immediately accepts that dean apparently had sex with the siren, no surprise or hesitance.

actor who played nick says ‘(nick) enjoyed having control over these boys in a sexual way. It’s a strange way to describe it. Considering the Siren initially appears as a female that seduced men, it was almost as if gender wasn’t a factor for it.’

season five

5x03- free to be you and me (watch)

says bert and ernie are gay right before telling cas he’s not going to let him die a virgin. how do these things correlate?

dean makes two references to queer characters- thelma and louise and bert and ernie

compares himself and cas to thelma and louise, who kiss at the end of the movie

5x04- the end (watch)

cas and the orgy girls are waiting for dean to get there before starting the orgy, suggesting it’s something dean takes part in and is a normal part of their lives at the camp. 2014!dean is obviously comfortable enough to let cas see him naked, at the very least, if he partakes in the orgies

dean canonically likes to wear woman’s underwear. while this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s bisexual, it does show that dean does project stuff like this (onto sam mostly, which we saw when dean asked sam if the bra was his) and it also shows that dean isn’t the macho man that he appears to be on the surface. 

cas winks at dean, and dean does the thing with his mouth that he does when he sees something hot and desirable (see it here too) (meta)

5x06- i believe the children are our future (watch)

dean jerking off to the thought of a male nurse

5x07- the curious case of dean winchester (watch)

he looks at a naked guy’s crotch unnecessarily (they already knew it was the guy they were looking for because of the arm tattoo, credit card and driver’s license they’d already seen)

tells said guy that he looks great

5x08- changing channels (watch)

comes out of a closet into TV land

intensely watches dr sexy make out with someone on TV

gets visibly flustered when he sees dr sexy, similar to how a girl would react over seeing their male crush 

thinks dr sexy is sexy (in cowboy boots) ‘what makes dr sexy sexy is he fact that he wears cowboy boots, not tennis shoes’

men/women sign behind his head suggesting bisexuality 

dean says ‘part of what makes dr sexy sexy is-’ part. so… there’s more than one thing about dr sexy that dean finds sexy. this episode alone should be enough to prove his bisexuality tbh. 

5x09- the real ghostbusters (watch)

dean is visibly happy and smiley while thinking of the queer sam and dean cosplayers once he’s by himself (meta)

5x14- my bloody valentine (watch)

dean checks out men/looks at men as though he’s hungry for them. (which he probably is, seeing as it’s the famine episode.) examples: cas, cupid (meta #1 #2)

bi flag colors when cupid hugs dean and cas

5x15- dead men don’t wear plaid  (watch)

three episodes after this, dean tells cas ‘the last person who looked at me like that i got laid’. who’s the last person to look at dean ‘like that’? digger wells. carver wrote both of these episodes, so it’s not coincidental. (meta)

digger asks dean ‘who died and made you queen?’ not king. 

season six

6x01- exile on main street  (watch)

dean x sid; sid has been buying him beers for a year, dean bothered by the sight of sid with his wife, dean more interested in sid than hot waitresses (meta)

6x06- you can’t handle the truth (watch)

dean thinks two men having sex is sexy. (the non sexy kind of drilling, right?)

dean mirroring cas’ body language as he kisses meg

season seven

7x12- time after time (watch)

dean fangirls over eliot ness

sam asks dean if he’s strictly into dick now

checks out a guy’s ass instead of girls (checks him out in the same way as he would a girl) 

eliot then drags dean into the store away from the guys he was checking out, similarly to how sam did in yellow fever.

fan fiction gap! eliot tells dean he needs to get him more clothes (at night time, in the interrogation room) then dean leaves with eliot. next scene, it’s the day time and they’re at the tailors.

7x20- the girl with the dungeons and dragons tattoo (watch)

teaches charlie how to flirt with a man

dean/charlie parallels (ex. charlie being gay and loving female characters, similar to how dean loves dr sexy)

season eight

8x01- we need to talk about kevin (watch)

dean asks ‘spanky the demon. yeah, i heard about you. you’re the one who uses too much teeth, right?’ 

8x04- bitten (watch)

the people from the video think that sam and dean are queer, and also that dean says awesome too often. unlike in Playthings, dean doesn’t ask ‘why do these guys think we’re gay?’ instead, he asks sam if he says awesome a lot, to which sam replies ‘ no. no, no. no.’ (meta)  

8x06- southern comfort (watch)

dean sarcastically says he was in purgatory, miami (a gay bar)

8x07- a little slice of kevin (watch)

the scene between dean and cas is inherently romantic. 

cas knows where dean is- how? because angels can sense longing. otherwise, cas would have had no way of finding dean straight out of purgatory. (meta) 

dean blatantly checks out cas when he comes out if the bathroom all clean. 

the camera pans up cas’ body as it would in a romance movie, from dean’s pov.  (meta)

8x12- time after time (watch)

grandaddy winchester comes out of the closet, mirrors dean 

dean x closets subtext (meta) 

sam says ‘when one of us falls out of your closet-’ and the camera pans staight to dean.

8x13- everybody hates hitler (watch)

uses the alias of a bisexual person (mark bolan) 

flirts with aaron

flustered and cute at the fact aaron is interested in him

the only reason dean turna aaron down is because ‘it’s a federal thing’, not because he ‘doesn’t swing that way.’

visibly disappointed at lack of gay thing (meta)

meta on the way dean closes his FBI badge to talk to aaron

not in the episode, but in the director’s commentary, they talk about ‘the potential for love in all places’ in reference to dean/aaron 

a guy dressed like cas walks behind dean during the dean/aaron bar scene

8x17- goodbye stranger (watch)

bi!flag set design after we were told to pay attention to the set. (meta)

scripted ‘I love you’

8x23- sacrifice (watch)

dean confirms he watches m/m/f porn

dean’s reaction when seeing that cupid brought two men together. meta

bisexual colors in the background

arrow symbolism (arrow coming from cas and pointing at dean, similar to how there was a man with a bow an arrow on the tv between the two men.)

season nine

9x06- heaven can’t wait (watch)

sam asks dean “you’re not even gonna see cas while you’re there? then what’s the point?” when he finds out that dean is going to drive 14 hours to idaho, suggesting that unless dean visits cas while he’s there, there’s no point going even though there’s a case there and people are dying 

the music when dean watches cas through the window of the gas n’ sip is the same music from when sam was watching amelia through the window in 8x09

dean is visibly bothered by the fact cas is going on a date, but hides it from cas

fan fiction gaps! there’s actually two in this episode- even though only one is really talked about. there’s one before they get to nora’s, from when cas asks for a ride (in which it’s daytime) and when they get to nora’s (at night) and there’s another one after nora’s, in which they leave (at night) and get back to the gas n’ sip the next day. what did they do during those hours? we’ll never know. 

dean says ‘you’re human, now’ and pointedly looks at cas’ lap. (meta)

their goodbye is decidedly not how you would say goodbye to a friend. if you were to take out that scene and place it into a gay romance movie, it would fit in perfectly.

dean tells cas to take off his vest and unbutton his shirt, then seems to check him out. 

nora doesn’t look back at cas after their last scene together, like it seems she would. dean does.

9x12- sharp teeth (watch)

dean gets back to the bunker and sam asks what happened to his arm, to which answers ‘oh, it was a gft from cain.’ sam then asks ‘like…the wrestler?’ (like seriously, what does sam think does in his spare time? go out and roll around with wrestlers?) dean then answers ‘i wish, that would be awesome.’ long story short, dean wants to get pinned down and roughed up by a wrestler. 

9x13- the purge (watch)

’best of both worlds, salty and sweet’  

instead of telling sam about canyon valley dean shows him a video instead, which coincidentally involves a hot (occasionally topless) dude that is definitely dean’s type

acts awkward towards larry when they met, getting lost in his eyes and grinning a lot (meta)  

guy tells dean to stop flirting with his trainer, assumes dean is into guys

dean says he relates to a girl saying it’s nice to have cushion when having sex with a guy.

10x13- halt & catch fire (watch)

dean is visibly worried that ‘nothing is ever deleted off of the internet’, even though it’s canon that sam knows that dean watches anime porn online and was on a dating site to look for women, i wondr what he’s possibly hiduing? 

checks out a dude pretty blatantly 

‘halt and catch fire’ is a tv show about a bisexual man

wears his bisexual colored shirt again

andrew dabb tweeting that dean’s deam come true happens in this episode- aka meeting gunnar.  

dean does the lip curl he does when he’s interested in something (as seen when looking at women, men and cake previously) when first walking into the room full of wrestlers 

dean first sees gunnar when he’s turned away and bent over slightly, meaning dean only sees his backside. dean still gets excited about meeting gunnar before gunnar turns around- meaning he’d recognised gunnar just by his ass.

dean’s first conversation with gunnar is very closel paralleled to dean/mildred from the 11x11.  

dean gets flustered when talking to hip, holds his hand for too long 

awkwardly stumbles through his sentences when meeting gunnar 

(full dean/gunnar intro scene, big flirt fest, gunnar is interested in dean back, dean is a cute lil blushy bisexual)

when dean goes to the bar to talk to gunnar, gunnar is sitting there with two drinks. he gives one to dean, and somehow knows dean’s name even though dean hadn’t told him before that. this either means that they’d met up again off screen and planned to go to the bar together (which soulds definitively date-y), or gunnar asked around for dean’s name and got him a drink hoping dean would show up. 

dean checks out gunnar’s ass 

dean is disappointed when he doesn’t get gunnar’s glove

the actor who played gunnar tweeted and favorited bi!dean tweets on twitter while he was live tweeting the ep 

dean/gunnar HEAVILY paralleled with sam/rio. 

literally, the only reason for the sam/rio was to make this parallel. (and to show that dean/gunnar is even more suggestive and non-platnoic than sam and rio) 

dean’s reaction to gunnar winking at him is extremely bisexual (there were two different reactions, this one from the promo, and this from the ep) 

anyway i could literally list everything dean and gunnar said and did but u rlly just gota watch the ep to experience the full bisexuality

episode meta

now if you compare this list of bi!dean moments with the list of straight!dean moments, you can definitely see that the proof for bisexual dean vastly outweighs the proof for straight!dean. which isn’t hard, as there isn’t any proof for straight dean; which i’m gonna prove for you real quick right here:

1. people like to use the fact that dean said he ‘didn’t swing that way’ to prove that he’s straight, when in fact, it’s null and void. no closeted queer person would come out to a random person, especially an enemy, which dean was speaking to each time he’s said something along those lines. when dean is approached in a non-platonic manner by non-enemies, he doesn’t say ‘he doesn’t swing that way.’ or deny his sexuality whatsoever. (for example, with aaron.) 

2. people also like to argue that the fact dean has never kissed or had sex with a man on the show means he’s not bisexual, which isn’t true. a person of any sexuality can have never kissed or had sex with anyone, and it wouldn’t lessen their sexuality. (for example: charlie was still as much of a lesbian before she kissed gilda as she was after.) countless people accept canon heterosexuality without a kiss- so we should be able to do the same with other sexualities, too.

3. then of course there’s the interview that kripke did. this is not evidence against bi!dean! eric kripke, the show’s creator, has never called dean straight. he said that he thought the dynamic between sam and dean (who are brothers) is not unlike the dynamic between sebastian and miles from revolution (being the topic of the interview), who are two straight men. this quote by him is often used out of context by people trying to disprove bisexual dean by saying that the two straight men he’s talking about are sam and dean, when the people in question aren’t even on supernatural. 

4. jensen saying that he doesn’t think there’s ‘anything more to dean and cas’ relationship’ doesn’t mean dean is straight, either.  bi dean =/= destiel. 

5. ‘’’but!!! you’re all just reading into it too much!!  just because dean thinks a man is sexy or because the wall was a bisexual color or because he checked out a guys ass doesn’t mean anything!! it’s just interpretation!!!’’’ please read this. pleas e

but yeah, carry on saying dean is straight if that’s what floats your boat, and if you do happen to know any evidence for straight dean, i’d be happy to debunk it for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

*this only contains the more obvious moments, and there is more evidence in the show that isn’t on here, such as in the symbolism, body language, tone or set design of a few episodes, but they’re smaller and/or more open to interpretation than these, so they’re not on here. feel free to watch the show and try to find more!

Excellent post is excellent :)

Dean is bi, a succinct look over the seasons

I’ve seen a few posts about how if/when we get Bi!Dean (and Destiel) some people are worried others may cry ‘fan service’ purely because they haven’t noticed it as a continuous theme through the 12 years of the show so far. So I just wanted to compile a few snippets showing that it has been there all along, it’s not a complete list as I would have to literally spend weeks doing this as there is so much material, but here’s just a few to get started!

1x07: So, it’s season 1, everything is just ramping up so the subtext is very sub… 

Dean rejects painting the college kid yet immediately picks up a skin mag (making it sexual), ignoring the actual mag whilst ogling the kid and noticing the point just above his ass that Sam missed? While Sam in an extremely NON sexual manner does the actual painting? Nice…

2x11: There is no way that scene in Playthings is not meant for the audience to notice and pick up on. 

We are supposed to pick up on Sam’s totally accurate and straight faced response to this and how Dean reacts, precisely due to it’s accuracy:

Sam: “Well, you are kinda butch, they probably think you’re overcompensating”. Sam is totally straight faced as this is exactly what he thinks is the case as is taking the opportunity to let Dean know that he knows.

source: @shixpe.   Meanwhile Dean’s face is like ‘shit… I’m that obvious?’

*TINK LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA* 

Season 4: Intro Cas. Now for the ramping up… Dean not so subtly going from small moments of showing himself looking at a guy occasionally or projecting onto Sam “how gay are you?” but now literally licking his own lips, staring at Cas’ lips, comparing them to Thelma and Louise, using his “last day on earth” line on him, I mean, ALL the Cas related chemistry that I won’t even go into here, but here’s a helpful post that has just a few examples of Cas-Dean chemistry over the years which is totally different to any other variation of Cas-Dean, because, that’s love not just lust.

6x09: The one when Dean specifically, not Dean and Sam, is associated with fairies.

source: @spn-liveblog

Where they sexualised the fairies as naked ladies with nipples on show. Where it’s textually and clearly brought to the audiences attention in this same episode that most people associate fairies with queer men.

Where Dean probably “serviced” Oberon king of the fairies (an easy link to queer King Oberyn in GoT, who’s name Dean uses in 12x18 while Sam uses the very heterosexual Stark name).

Meanwhile Sam nicely and true to form, even soulless, stays resolutely heterosexual and bangs the hippie chick while throughout the whole episode in contrast to Dean is hitting on any woman that moves.

It’s not just that Dean is consistently associated with queer subtext but also how Sam is NOT that shows how purposefully this is done for Dean.

7x12: This episode follows multiple episodes with so much “Dean was is in love with Cas subtext” (Cas dying, the trenchcoat, Sam and Bobby’s reactions, Dean’s alcoholism and coping mechanisms coming out, 7x05: Dean projecting Cas’ betrayal and their subsequent lack of communication which led to Cas’ death onto the witch couple by getting them to communicate leading to their making out furiously… immediately followed by Sam trying to get Dean to talk to him about Cas, 7x09 “Cas, black goo…” etc etc etc… 

We have not only blatant Dean-is-queer moments:

But also the whole episode centers around an immortal who dies because they were in love with a Human who couldn’t forgive them for lying…

Then from 8 onwards we have more Dean / Cas parallels with canon romantic couples: Jess/Sam, Mary/John, Cain/Colette, Don/Maggie, David/Violet, Dean/Cassie, Chronos/Lila, Cacao/Betsy, Jesse/Cesar, Jeffery/his demon, Sam/Amelia, Benny/Andrea, Prometheus/Hayley, Dean/Amara, Ishim/Lily, Gavin/Fiona, Corbin/Michelle…

Ok so this isn’t a Destiel post, it’s a Dean is bi post, but you know, at this point they’re kind of interlinked, because Cas has a male body from season 9 onwards, that isn’t his vessel, it’s him, so there you go, have that too.

10x01:

You mean THESE triplets? The only twins/triplets in the bar? Where the guy behind looks like he’s the additional triplet by his placement and his outfit being the exact in between of the who playing? The ones who Crowley was seen talking to again in the same episode? 

Either way, even if for some reason it wasn’t these particular triplets, cos you know, triplets are super common, it’s still heavily implied (and referred to again throughout seasons 10,11 and 12) that Dean had some kind of sex with triplets and Crowley, who “rubbed off all over him”…

On top of that, sorry to be crude, but we also have these moments:

“…well, you could…” *insert Drowley meta here*.

and:

Then, back to the less crude side, 10x16:

So…. Dean is sick of hiding behind his facade? Do you think maybe it’s time someone came along and helped him see that he no longer needs to hide behind this wall? For a whole two seasons subtext be based around showing that Dean is in love with Cas and also kinda doesn’t mind pop music for example, is actually not quite the dude bro he makes himself our to be and has a facade up that stops him from showing it? 

Insert Amara. Whose name literally means Love. The expositional character of Dean’s innermost feelings, the extension of which is Mary, who ultimately leads to these feelings coming out after having been addressed for these two seasons…

Where an all knowing love - monster taking on her appearance tells him:

“I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except…it’s cloaked in shame”. 

Where in the SAME EPISODE Dean tells Sam that he doesn’t feel love for Amara. So who can this possibly be referring to? For whom might he feel love cloaked in SHAME based on the last 10 years of what he have learned about Dean? Where only two episodes before Dean is told by a “wise woman” (who in film always sees truth) that he is pining for someone. PINING, a term interchangeable with LONGING. With whom do we associate LONGING?

I mean honestly… like we need an exposition for what this is all about…

Meanwhile, if there were any issues with Dean feeling that Hunting and being queer are frowned upon they nicely insert an amazingly, fantastically, blatantly mirrored Dean/Jesse Cas/Cesar episode, even down to the brother focused story, the way Cesar and Dean click and interact so similarly to Dean/Cas and the shoulder patting being the most we actually see of them being romantic, I mean JEEZ:

And now if he needed to hammer it home even further:

I mean, I think he gets the picture… it’s nothing to be ashamed of now.

So now thanks to his own personal growth, all this and the extension of Amara, Mary, Dean has finally faced his past, his feelings and given his wall the metaphorical and literal heave - ho:

In conclusion:

1. Dean is bisexual. Dean has always been bisexual, he was closeted for so long, but after all this time and thanks to his being in love with one guy in particular and Mary’s role in his self awareness and self acceptance arc, now is more or less the perfect moment to come out… 

2. Dean met and over time went from lusting after to being deeply in love with Cas, who is now male, it is HIS body and he identifies with it as such, who has inconveniently right after this moment of final clarity for Dean, died what seemed to Dean to be a true and permanent Death while he screamed ‘noooo’, fell to his knees in shock and nicely paralleled two of the most doomed - romance canon couples in the show within 5 minutes (Jess and Sam and Cain and Colette).

Both sides of this have come to a climax at the end of season 12, I believe leading to things really happening now moving forwards… So this, when it all comes to the forefront is NOT fan service. 

It has been there all along, at first subtly, then growing, finally becoming core to the main plot of the character and plot based storylines until this point.
