Well. It began rather stupidly. I was on Tumblr (I told my friend I got a Tumblr and she was like “hipster or fandom? I’ll follow you if you’re fandom. And I was like “I think I mostly reblog fandom stuff.. and the bunnies..”) for the first time and I was like yay I’m on here for HP and Merlin OUAT and I know of Doctor Who and Sherlock stuff- WHAT THE HECK IS THIS SUPERNATURAL STUFF. And then I loved it, I was in the fandom long before watching the show (also stupid of me), and from what I’d seen on here, I’d pretty much thought Destiel was cannon. I quickly figured out otherwise, but in Season 8 the purgatory flashbacks were focused more on Cas than on fighting monsters, which really spoke to me, and I could just see throughout the season how much they meant to each other, how much they needed each other. Cas dragged Deans sorry butt out of Hell, and that gave them one of the most unique, most powerful relationships of anyone EVER (in my opinion). I feel like their feelings for each other aren’t exactly romantic, but that’s the closest label that there is they are literally soulmates, and it transfers into every part of themselves (not just the friend, or brother, or lover part, but all of them and more). Given some time and some sleep I could probably go on for days. I totally respect Wincest, and I do get why people ship it, but I think that with Dean’s past he needs something or someone to fill a hole that’s bigger even than his Sammy, and Castiel (as [former] celestial being) obviously as more space inside him (almost like another dimension to his soul, that we cannot fathom) that needs to be filled, and they fill the empty spots in each others’ souls as best as they can.
