hi friends! i'm super enjoying your podcast! i recently listened to your ep about supernatural and it inspired me to start watching again (i had recently stopped in season 5) and i was wondering if you could make a list of the best destiel eps/best bi!dean eps? i'm currently in season 8 but the thought of going back and rewatching the early seasons is quite daunting but i feel like i'm missing on a lot of good moments. If possible, i would love a list of moments/eps for the whole show. Thanks!
Hey there! I hope you continued listening despite us rudely ignoring your ask (see our post about how we just kinda dropped the ball on this whole tumblr account).
I love this question. I’ve rewatched seasons 1-5 at least 3 times, and every single time I pick up on even more bi!dean subtext. There’s honestly too many moments for me to list them all, but I can give you a whole lotta links to satisfy your bi!dean needs (some of them are about later seasons, and many are destiel-related).
First, I’ll link you to this absolutely wonderful post that breaks down bi!dean moments episode by episode starting with season 1!
an in-depth look at some bi!dean moments starting in season 1 (@tinkdw has an amazing blog full of quality bi!dean meta - especially her bi!dean tag and her performing!dean tag)
a wonderful sassy post that contains even more links (sorry about all the links)
another breakdown of bi!dean moments
meta about bar scenes in8x23 and 9x06

an essay about why Dean would make a great bi character

And there’s always my dean is bi tag on my personal blog.
