#destiel rant

[smollkittykat]

I kind of don't like how a lot of people forget that despite all the angst and the drama around Dean and Cas they are fundamentaly best friends.

How many times did Dean say it throught the entire show? Bobby in season 6 saying "Well, you just lost the best friend you ever had."

For Bobby to say that, knowing Dean better than even Sam in some regards, how many times had Dean been sitting with Castiel on the couch in his living room?

Cas doesn't sleep, and rarely does Dean, with the Apocalypse looming right behind him.

So all they had left, in those quiet nights were each other. And they were okay with it, because they liked each other's company.

Okay guys.. yet another Destiel yap. Buckle up, its obsessed Castiel.

I LOVVEEE thinking about overly obsessed Cas. He doesn't know how to love normally or show it, all he knows is that he has to hide it. Which Cas learned from Dean, who hides his emotions. But Cas does everything else, because he loves him. He watches him sleep, makes sure the nightmares dont get too bad, gives him coffee when he wakes up, takes care of Sam. But also, when cas isn't around, he stops by. Watches Dean, stays close to him and out of sight. He likes watching him, and he doesn't know or understand how creepy it is. He does little things for him, makes sure doors fall a little slower so Dean can make it through in time and lets a crisp five dollar bill fall in front of him. Stuff like that. He's always watching over him, but be leaves when Dean is with someone else. He can't handle it. Its why he never just popped up during those moments, because he was already aware. And he knew it would hurt.

Thanks for coming to my Bug Talk

Ay yo, I voiced the unhinged Destiel rant, but Tumblr won't let me post the video like normal & YouTube linked videos are at the bottom of the algorithm priorities, so watch it here on YouTube, it's got everyone's favorite soundtrack to chaos also

8x17 dean breaking cas's brainwash connection to naomi blah blah blah let's talk about how in the following episode the following interaction happens:

sam: "yeah um cas dinged you up pretty good"

dean: "and?"

sam: "and i just wanted to make sure you're okay"

dean: "what, like my feelings?"

sam: "if that's what you want to talk about, sure"

dean: *proceeds to mock/avoid the question to get out of answering*

like the only reason they would write this in the show is because they knew they couldn't just pretend that whole scene from the previous episode never happened because it was so powerful, so they did what they do best: talk about it in a way that doesn't confirm or deny anything

i also feel like they so commonly would use dean's emotional unavailability as an out to not address things they very purposefully wrote into the show throughout its entire run, a lot of the time these instances revolving around his storylines with cas. it's so frustrating because they had so many opportunities to have amazing writing, and then they blew it off because they were too afraid to be "bold" by confirming dean and cas's connection

Straight couples in movies and shows be like ‘I fell in love with you before I even knew you and we’re soulmates even tho we’ve never even had a real conversation’

Like—this lady’s known this dude for 90 minutes and all they’ve done is make out a few times and laugh in the rain but T H E Y’RE IN L O V E, folks.

And then you’ve got Destiel, a GAY ship, still considered non-canon. Destiel, who has 11 fucking seasons worth of material to base their relationship off of.

Straight strangers in movies are considered ‘canon’ cause they kiss a couple times in the rain.

But when Cas gives up his family, his life, his home, an entire garrison of angels, the entire DAMN WORLD for this one human.... it’s called ‘platonic love.’

What THE FUCK.

When Dean tells Cas he NEEDS him, begs him on his knees, AFTER Cas just beat the shit out of him.... when deans voice breaks as he cups Cas’s face in his hands again and again and again.... nah bro, that’s still platonic.

I gave EVERYTHING for you.

I need you.

I love you.

I’m not leaving here without you.

I won’t hurt Dean. (notice: Cas said HURT. not KILL. Cas would never hurt dean, much less kill him.)

I COULD GO ON FOREVER

Let’s not even get started on the implications of a personalized mixtape—full of zeppelin love songs which are the EXACT same songs Dean’s parents fell in love over—

Dean kept Cas’s dirty trench coat, folded up neatly, waiting for Cas to come back after he’d disappeared in that lake.

Cas counted Dean’s absence down to the SECONDS.

I could still go on for hours here folks.

HOURS AND HOURS of reasons for why Destiel is a love story....

Hell, I’ve spent months with @jupiticas writing a fic about those reasons. 96k words. A SHIT TON of canon events included.

(check the link HERE for the fic, we’d both mightily appreciate it ♥️♥️)

So to conclude—I’m so damn sick of people accepting canon-status of some basic-ass straight couple with no chemistry, history or layers.... but just cause they kissed a couple times, OH YEAH. THEY’RE IN LOVE.

I’m so sick of it. I could legit go on forever.

Destiel is canon. And it has been for a long time.

[itsanending]

This will be a short rant about how the making destiel only halfhearted canon is going to continue to bite back over and over again.

Misha gave us the "there is a song about Cas and Dean on Jensens new album, did you know that?", and there are many things you can say about that, but if there had been no truth in it, he wouldn't have said it, even if that truth "only" is that they afterward were like "hey, this actually speaks a lot of that relationship our characters had on that show, don't you think!".

But the thing that will happen now is that people on cons will try to ask Jensen about this and continue to ask about Dean's perspective. We'll have to see how that goes, but Jensen is a big boy and can handle pr.

BUT, the thing is, questions about destiel are gonna continue coming. Forever. As long as there are spn-cons, there will be destiel-questions. What had made those questions easier to handle (since the situation now is just a hell hole)? To make it canon. If it had been canon, of course, there had still been "please elaborate on...", and the answers had been "well yeah, this is what happened [in canon] so the answer must be...".

Now they have "could you please elaborate on.." and the answers are "well no, love to all, no specific, not attraction, don't think so" and so on and so forth. Aaawkward. "Please don't ask this again.."

The network really had such a simple solution. And the outcome could have been great.

even though all i want is destiel to become canon, i can't sit well with the idea of them confessing their love - or kissing or tenderly holding each other, take your pick at how it goes - in a now or never kinda way right before cas dies and that just being it.

firstly bc the writers already had so many opportunities at the whole 'im dying and it's my last chance to say i love you' shebang that and did nothing with it that it just feels ugh to me

secondly bc it's the easiest way possible and IT SHOWS, like """let's get then to just say ily to each other so it can still be considered brotherly and we don't even have to do a kiss!!!!""" and that's it

AND how can we forget that the series finale is the ending of the boys likely in heaven and we all know that cas probably isn't even going to be in it

so it would feel so wrong to me, like they becoming canon was just thrown in the plot of ONE episode with no follow up.

in the end if destiel becomes canon this is probably how it's going to go, in a true cw way and i think that's horrible™
