#mainlining the koolaid

In post SDCC 2019 lulz:

During the SDCC Supernatural panel, Misha confirmed that he is a regular and not a lead as the minions have been screeching at everybody for years. He also confirmed that he has not been told the ending of the show by either the writers or J2, further driving home the fact that he’s not a lead, and he expressed his hope that Castiel will have a heroic ending by sacrificing himself for the Winchesters.

(Em almost caught a clue!)

And Jared confirmed that the power and decision to end the show was entirely his and Jensen’s alone:

Minions are upset at these revelations (to them; let’s be real, the rest of us already knew) and have brewed up a new flavor of Koolaid with extra delusion:

MISHA: I MET ONE OF MY LIFE GOALS, I’M A REGULAR ON A SHOW.

MINIONS: SUPERNATURAL HAS NO LEADS, THEY’RE ALL REGULARS!!1!

You can’t make this shit up. XD There are dozens upon dozens of quotes from the network president to legitimate media sources referring to J2 as the leads/stars of the show but, no, if Misha can’t be a lead, THEN NO ONE CAN.

(Jeffry Dean Morgan for EW)

(TVGuide)

(Vanity Fair)

And on and on, even J2 confirmed they are the (only) leads on the show:

But wait, linds says Jensen confirmed (three years ago) that Misha is totally just as important to the show as him and Jared, making them all equals & regulars:

Except, no, Jensen was talking about THE FANS and the SPN FAMILY and how he and Jared have kept doing the show and cons in part FOR THE FANS:

“Somebody asked me what keeps you going after twelve years, and it is those stories and getting to engage with fans, it’s hearing what the show brought [to the fans], hearing those stories that make what we do bigger than us. Jared and I have had many discussions about what it is, how long are we going, when do we tap out, and he and I both agree that it’s bigger than us, it’s not just about Sam and Dean, or Jared and Jensen, this is kind of an amazing little world that has been created and we’re very very fortunate and lucky and privileged to be a part of it.” -Jensen Ackles, Access Hollywood on youtube (Jensen Ackles Talks 'Supernatural' Season 12, Reminisces About 'Baby Episode, Saturn Awards, 06-24-16)

(Bolded for linds’ out of context screencap reference and, oh look, Misha isn’t mentioned in his answer at all lol.)

Also, Misha is now just an actor (and a bronly!) and his opinion means nothing:

XD

Jensen said destiel is real, he was happy and hyping the crowd up and legit asking them where, and he was just acting mad, he's an actor lmao.

I get that you’re desperate to believe it, to cling to the idea of your ship going canon, but take the Koolaid IV out and wake up. Jensen was angry, Jensen was done. That was not the face of a man who was happy or playing, that was the face of a man who is sick of your ship and its shippers and their continuous harassment of him and refusal to take no for an answer. And no amount of spin or meta or blind insistence is going to change the facts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In bitter post S14 destiheller lulz:

Destiheller Koolaid dealers are desperately trying to keep their followers on the hook but, with the final season looming, many have woken up to the fact that their lolship just ain’t ever gonna happen. Their latest tactic, courtesy of goob and aunt dottie, is to blackmail the CW over their Dare to Defy ad campaign:

(Blackmail the network only mind you, and handily blame them when it doesn’t happen, but keep kissing up to the writers):

To get their Koolaid junkies to carry the charge, goob is, of course, lying about GLAAD’s yearly representation in media reports:

And what about GLAAD’s reports and data? Oh! The CW is actually #1 in LGBT representation for two years in a row now:

(And #1 and #2 in women and poc representation.)

And it gets even funnier because they’re not getting any traction even with this because they’ve been in a stan war (Dean stans vs Cas stans) for weeks now:

And exposing the destiheller playbook now that they’re not playing nice with each other anymore:

They’re not even being ironic. XD

witchgoeshunting replied to your photoset: “J2 decided to end it.” J2 “maintained the heart...

Now now. Let’s be nice. In another video they shot…that will be released after the show you will see that misha was also there.

We’ve already seen two videos that Misha was there for the announcement. Put down the Koolaid, wake up, for your own sake. (>ლ)

In CharCon/NCCon 2018 lulz:

Surprisingly, I haven’t seen much discussion regarding Jensen’s joke about AU!Cas and Misha’s ‘acting choices’ or any gifs for it (so I made my own):

Normally, the minions would be all over SM either attacking Jensen or trying to play it off as cute flirting. So I went looking and all I’ve found is a few bitter asides and minions immediately rushing in to assure them that ‘Jensen totes loves Misha, they’re bffs and more, and Jensen has praised Misha’s AU!Cas many times doncha know’:

Because, of course, Jensen only insults Misha to please the ‘rich bibros’:

HonCon? Really? Are they sure that’s the lie they want to go with? Because that con happened in November of 2017, four months before they filmed 13.22:

But all the minions at the con agreed that it was light-hearted and loving:

And Jensen’s praised all of Misha’s other!Cas performances in minion metas:

Because they’re total bffs, they’ve even said so many times in minion dreams:

And, of course, any discussion about Jensen and Misha is an opportunity not to be missed to spread the premium destiel Koolaid:

Too bad minions never seem to provide receipts to back up those assertions, and funny how they didn’t gif Jensen’s joke this time. (¬‿¬)

Hi! Think I triggered desti stew :/ Didn't mean to, was only CURIOUS about the anti destiel free choice and view. S&D do have a great brotherly love but I think it was almost sickly codependent in earlier seasons. As D was dad, mom, bro to S. It's now neat to see S and especially D develop and mature. They aren't the same boys from season 1. Canon is always growing as the official story is unfolding.

anon: Yep spn isn’t a romance or rom com but there have been romances and hookups right? Mary-John or Sam-Jessica Dean-Lisa Jessy-Cesar Garth-Bess? D loves S but couldn’t he also grow as a character and love Cas simultaneously in a different pragma way? I don’t see why a healthy adult (future Dean) couldn’t love both S&C or why there would be an either or. 

(I don’t know if these are from the same anon, but I’m putting them together anyway.)

“I think it was almost sickly codependent in earlier seasons[…] It’s now neat to see S and especially D develop and mature”

Earlier seasons? The gifs I included previously were from S8 and S11. In S12 they carved their initials into the bunker table just like in Baby, Dean still remembered Sam’s name after he’d forgotten his own, Dean made a deal with Billie just to get into the house where Sam was trapped, and later they each made pacts with her to sacrifice their lives just to get to spend a few hours together rather than a lifetime in separate cells.

And you think that’s less codependent?

“Yepspn isn’t a romance or rom com but there have been romances and hookups right?”

And? Brief relationships and one night stands make them human beings with human needs, but still does not make the show a romance. (The relationship status of side and background characters don’t count because they don’t effect the focus of the show.) For Supernatural to be a romance, that would have to be the central theme of the show, like in a romance. Instead, SPN is about two brothers and the love they have for each other (as the network, producers, and show runners reiterate every season).

Dean has had two brief relationships: Lisa while he thought Sam was dead and only because he promised Sam (and because Castiel healed him against his will), whom he left pretty much the minute Sam returned; and Cassie while Sam was away at Stanford. Same thing with Sam, re: Amelia and Jessica, in that both were temporary relationships he was only capable of while his brother was gone from his life.

“I don’t see why a healthy adult (future Dean) couldn’t love both S&C or why there would be an either or.”

Dean is not going to turn gay/bi (that’s not character development or personal growth, that’s not how sexual orientation works), Dean is not going to mature into a non-codependent relationship with Sam partly because he has no desire to, partly because they’re actual literal soulmates, and partly because it would be boring TV.

Jensen and Jared have made it very clear that they want the boys to die together or one right after the other, and J2 have a lot of say in whether that happens, way more than any group of fans no matter how loud and entitled.

Again, Dean is straight and Jensen hates destiel.It’s not going to happen on the show, quit drinking the destiheller Koolaid, wake up and save yourself before they suck the life and soul and humanity out of you. I really mean that.

I have no idea why you choose to ignore that Jared, and especially Jensen, love Misha. Jensen has said that he loves Misha, he's called him: cute, hot, friend, the best, very important, smart, "the funniest thing to ever happy to me", etc. They share vacations, matching bracelets and rings, even clothes. Open your eyes.

Those adjectives are taken out of context, Jensen used nearly all of them sarcastically. Like when he said Misha’s participation in the PCA vid was some of the best work Misha had ever done (that was an insult), or when he complimented Misha’s writing abilities during their joint panel at JIB 2016 (that was hyperbole).

They have never shared a vacation (provide receipts if you think otherwise). Those bracelets were the Kim Manners remembrance bracelets that were given to all of the cast, Misha went out and bought the same ring after admiring Jensen’s (according to Jensen himself), they both buy a lot of John Varvatos clothing (Misha talked about this recently).

Quit drinking the Koolaid.

[youmightbeanidiotif]

Jared and Misha ship Destiel. Jensen is okay with it, but chooses not to participate in any character shipping (including wincest). Anyway, it's all fun and games and nothing for anyone to get their panties tied up in a knot.

Oh honey no, back away from the Koolaid while there’s still hope for you. Jared says those things because it riles Jensen up (something he dearly loves to do), Misha says them because it’s what his fanbase wants to hear, and Jensen loathes destiel because of the destihellers.

In Jensen’s own words:
