Five years (plus) of this shit, and it has finally come to bite him in the ass

Hey, 'sup, don't mind me, it's just while I'm very happy y'all find security in the concept of a very beloved celebrity being queer, you guys really need to check THEIR official pages, not news sites, before becoming lost in whatever news is being presented. I love that y'all feel safe as a fellow queer person, but Misha has since spoken out on coming out as bi, and -

Suffice to say, he's human, he's clumsy, he went and flubbed a sentence, feels guilty, and will be at risk of being burned to hell and back online. This was from his Facebook page. He's, quite understandably, not comfortable with further misinfo being spread because of a misspeak and being associated with something that he is not.

Media just ran with it.

But there's sti security to be had in that he has our backs.

Don't see why it matters that misha's income isn't consistent??? Like once you're a multimillionaire you don't need to live paycheck to paycheck lol so it doesn't matter

Okay, rather than laugh incessantly about the fact you think he's a multi-millionaire, I'm going to respond with some numbers because I don't think this information is out there.

I'm going to imagine Misha's best years when he was a regular on the show (which would be S5-6 and S9-11). As a regular, he would be paid, at most $35,000 per episode. (As recurring $8-10k per episode). During those seasons, the most he appeared was 14 episodes. So, let's do math. 14 episodes x $35000 = $490,000. But wait, let's factor in paycheck deductions (taxes, fees, health insurance premiums, etc.): Being generous, his take home pay is 70% of that, which = $343,000. He's only making that for five seasons. The other seasons where he's paid as recurring is 15 episodes x $10,000 = $150,000. 70% of that = $105,000.

Now, if he could save all of that money, yes, it would be more than a million dollars. However, he owns multiple homes, meaning, he's paying the mortgages and taxes for them (there's no way at that pay he could buy these homes outright). That's going to eat up quite a bit of money, even with the AirBnB income, then there's his family he's providing for. As far as I know, kids are expensive (especially if their attending private school). Plus, union dues, travel for auditions, headshots, manager/agent fees, publicist (if he has one). They all take a bite.

All that being said, no, he is not a multi-millionaire, and yes, at this point he probably is living paycheck to paycheck.

Just learned there are people who vehemently despise Misha Collins. Like, there’s an anti-misha tag. That’s hilarious. I think he’s a great actor and an awesome guy. I can’t understand why this particular guy has incited so much hatred. He seems so.. normal.

Not to get into it but--to get into it a little--

If C*stiel is going to be a redeemable character, a character to root for--flawed but with a good core, as are the other heroes--then it only really makes sense for him to have learned to love humanity from watching Dean love Sam. 

That (platonic) reading of the “Despair” scene makes sense to me because it makes sense for C*stiel’s character arc across seasons 12-15. There, we’ve seen him embark on a new relationship with humanity (Kelly, Jack) by his own lights. He wasn’t ordered by heaven to come to earth and care about Kelly and Jack, as he originally was with the Winchesters. He makes vows, sacrifices, and bonds independent of the Winchesters, and sometimes at their expense! Which again, makes sense for him having an arc that isn’t tied solely to feelings directed personally and romantically at one character.

In his final scene, I read it (despite the fandom furor) as him thanking Dean for having taught him how to love in a parental/brotherly fashion, really, since Dean tends to interact with his closest friends in a quasi-brotherly/quasi-parental fashion (though none of these other bonds, be it Benny or C*s or Claire, come close to replacing or approximating Sam). 

If that’s what’s happening--C*s is grateful for having seen how Dean loves, and feels love for him, and for Sam, and for Jack, the character whom he has been most connected with 3+ seasons--then I’m cool with it. It also means that C*s’s relationship with Jack, as instructed by his time with the Winchesters, helped save the world because Jack became a new and benevolent God. 

What does NOT make C*stiel an appealing character is if his whole arc has been about falling in love with a character and doing everything for him and him alone. His treatment of Dean has always been complex and in many ways distant/harsh/deceitful. It certainly hasn’t been romantic. Even putting aside the canon-established fact that Dean is a) straight and b) has never shown romantic interest in C*s and c) learns his defining lessons about life, the world, and himself through his relationship with Sam, it does not reflect well on C*stiel to define him wholly by Dean-motivated affection.

To do so would be to sideline his best self: the self he became in co-parenting Jack. It would, quite honestly, make him narrow-focused, weak, petty, and hypocritical.
