what misha fails to realize is that if he promised to kiss jensen on the mouth on camera dressed as cas and dean, he could raise $200k in 60 seconds. he could easily weaponize destiel for charity

they just said it all out loud, heteronormative nuclear families fall apart and in nontraditional+queer transformations of the concept we can find our faith and rediscover who we are. thee found family series of all time

Those sweet sweet innocent arms need to be wrapped around Castiel softly while he lays there dead awake staring at the wall waiting for Dean to wake up because he refuses to move in fear of waking the angry sleeper. Also I drew y'all a pic of them- do you like my editing skills?

The thing about Destiel is that although they have so many beautiful, purposefully written moments, some of the most profound things about them are just pure accident. Dean calls Castiel “Cas” not knowing that the suffix “iel” literally means “of God.” He calls him Cas because he wants to give him a nickname and he unknowingly removes God’s ownership from him. Just imagine that. When your very name binds you in obedience to an absent father. You follow orders and you’re a good little soldier because what other choice do you have? You are of God and the sum of your millennia long existence is to do His work, to be His minion. You rescue a soul from Hell because you’re commanded to and then you watch over him even though he has no respect for divine order and always asks too much of you. And somewhere along the way he calls you Cas because he thinks Castiel is a mouthful and you know you should be irritated but you can’t be because Cas has no binding, no ownership. Dean calls you Cas and it almost feels like he’s tempting you, offering you a life when you’re not of God but of yourself. So you Fall for him and maybe you fall for him, and one day you’re working a case with him and Sam and one of them says “Cas” and you realize that you were wrong. Cas is just as binding as Castiel. It bound you to them.

To oversimplify

Dean thinks being needed is the highest form of love

Sam thinks being trusted is the highest form of love

Cas thinks being wanted is the highest form of love

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

in the early seasons of supernatural, sam wears unique clothing. he wears jeans with detailing on the pockets, his signature hoodie, and lots of graphic tees. even his computer has cute little stickers on it.

yet as the seasons go by, he loses more and more of his unique clothing until his wardrobe is nearly identical to deans. this loss of personal style tracks with his willpower and willingness to fight with dean and his assimilation into the hunting lifestyle.

season 8 is crazy because while i get why they cut the “i love you” line and i don’t even dislike the “i need you” line, i wish they’d kept, “i forgive you,” because it’s like. you’re gonna kill me. i know you’re gonna kill me. please don’t hate yourself for it. please don’t carry it with you. don’t wonder if i forgave you. don’t wonder if i cared. you’re already forgiven. i love you.

and beyond that it’s just like… clearly dean does love cas! we see it all season. it’s new. its a new softness. it’s a post purgatory thing. i don’t think dean would have said any of this pre season 8. pre purgatory. he cared for cas. but he didn’t need him. and he didn’t love him. and when he went insane and tried to become god, he didn’t forgive him. not right away. he didn’t want to. he wanted to be angry. it ate him alive to be that angry. he had to realize slowly through that experience that he cared. deeply. so much so that by the time he’s in purgatory he’s not leaving without the angel! either they both get out or neither one does. forget fault. forget why this even happened. forget cas’s guilt. forget whatever is happening topside. forget sam and his grief. dean isn’t leaving him. end of story.

and then dean makes it out and cas … doesn’t. and dean is fucking bereft. he’s imagining cas everywhere. his longing is literally a tether, pulling cas to him in flashes until he is there for real. by the time cas is brainwashed and beating tf out of him dean loves him and has loved him but he KNOWS it. there’s no maybe. there’s no denying it, he doesn’t want to.

he doesn’t want cas to live with the pain of killing him, and he absolves him of that with what he thinks is his last breath. like… he’s dying!! it’s over!! but he forgives him, and he loves him, and he needs him to know.
