so just a 24 hour Instagram story lol that's a really short expectation.

Yeah, , no one cares what he wants.

[wellzlenore]

sure but also what matthew is doing here is overtly validating queer readings of a character he played, while also pretty explicitly saying "fuck you" to people who are uncomfortable with those readings

which is not nothing

[sweetonsugden]

It isn’t. However, my comments are referring to Elec.

[wellzlenore]

i don't know elec, so i can't speak to that piece

but i wasn't suggesting you were criticizing matthew lillard. i was trying to point out that elec is making points here, like, this level of support from more people and actors would be valuable actually, and more valuable than just a 24 hour story or whatever anon was saying

i feel like it's worth calling out that this is valuable rhetorical work from matthew, which is all i was trying to do, regardless of whether we hate elec or not

sam and cas disaster in-laws so true. but also! rowena and dean disaster in-laws is so underrated. they're failgirls together. they're so smart and so stupid and so femme together. they don't start any apocalypses but they do worse things like putting on blonde wigs for disguise and trying to take down demon pimps etc.

There should have been a situation where a magical object is in the shape of a small harp and needs to be played in a specific way to do something magical. After both Dean and Sam attempt it and fail Cas picks it up and sighs, then plays it perfectly, plucking the strings like he's done it a million times.

Dean is elbowing Sam in the ribs repeatedly like I fuckin knew they played harps

It's Supernatural for YOU.

It's Brokebacknatural for me.

[angelsdean]

pop culture reference boy dean one day hitting lone wolf cas with the brokeback mountain "sometimes i miss you so much i can hardly stand it" but he doesn't say it like a reference, he doesn't even mean to say it like that, he's just, trying to express to cas what his constant leaving feels like and his brain just supplies that line word-for-word and he balks a little after he says it, but then resets assured that cas doesn't get the reference because, well, dean hasn't shown him that cowboy movie. yet. but the thing is, cas does get the reference (thank you metatron) and, i'm picturing this happening pre-confession but post-empty deal, cas thinks oh my god, he's in love with me. and.......he immediately has to leave. cannot let this go further in fear of the consequences. also has like, a million things to process. and dean is left standing there like what the fuck and also wanting to scream this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation! and oh the angst.

Normal gay guy: free coffee, nice.

Abnormal straight guy: I'm not drinking out of small cups that's gay.

Dean winchester, abnormal ??? guy: these cups are gay. this coffee is gay. No don't take it back I'm gonna drink it I just wanted to let you know it's gay but I am going to drink this gay coffee.

the boys set was basically conversion therapy for jensen ackles when you really think about it

[destielwarmsthecocklesofmyheart]

im screaming

[wellzlenore]

which is especially funny when you consider that he once again found himself playing a character with a masculinity complex that lends itself extremely well to queer readings, with very clear bisexual subtext, and who is constantly shipped with other male characters of the show, including his character's actual relatives

the only real things that changed are that more people think soldier boy is a top than think dean is a top, and he can swear now

[wellzlenore]

i believe, with my whole heart, that if misha and jensen and jared rewatched the show (as rob and rich are doing rn) they would be GOBSMACKED by how obvious the destiel in the room is

and then they would talk different about it

or maybe at least jensen would finally start doing therapy

[overthinking-altu]

100% true. I think Misha rewatched the series in its entirety once after the finale, and Jenson probably only watched parts of it.

[wellzlenore]

i think misha has said he hasn't watched it all, and jensen i think has said he watched while it was airing, same w jared tho jared has also mentioned watching a few episodes w his kids, tho i think they're too young to do a full watch

so misha just like, has always believed the fans and understood a little more what was going on subtextually and also i think really loved the chaos of shipping destiel. as well as just like, supporting queer people openly and vociferously

whereas i think jensen (and jared) was still too close to the material while it was airing and so weren't watching it As a Show, just as like, oh this is the thing i shot a few months ago

so if misha watched he'd be like, "oh wow ok, this is way more obvious than i thought. the fans are vindicated! i'm vindicated!"

and if jensen watched i think he'd be like, ".........oh. oh..... OH. oh. oh fuck."

and jared would use it to tease jensen endlessly in ways that i would probably find vaguely homophobic

Jensen Ackles be like

Sporting a boner for your male best friend is less gay I guess

[wellzlenore]

this is why i call it being fuckass when jensen says shit like he did this last weekend

it is so deeply unserious! and also pretending that this is the first time this has happened and is uniquely shitty or is representative of some social or political belief is just dishonest.

learn your history! study the ancient texts. watch old fucking cons and pay attention to what he says, and how it constantly contradicts itself, and realize that he can never keep the story straight (phrasing) because he is not some all-knowing keeper of destiel knowledge or truth. he is a person negotiating a relationship with a show and a ship just like the rest of us

this happens. be annoyed for a second. laugh because it's dumb. take what you can from the veritable novel he gave us. criticize the fan. or don't. discuss cultural differences in direct communication vs aggression. make memes. take what matters, leave the rest.

and then move the fuck on with your life y'all

or you know, add it to the list of research for your eventual video essay about the mystery of cockles and why it is in many ways inextricable from questions about destiel

[jenmishamiga]

So you'll defend Misha, who isn't even being attacked, but not Jensen?

You should change your pfp.

Nope. Not doing this bullshit.

I have made my feelings on the Cockles panel very clear. In a sense, I defended them both because, as I've written, what they said didn't upset me. I also have written that I understand why it has upset other people, and I'm sorry for that. Their feelings are as valid as mine.

What I meant by what I wrote (and, honestly, I think it was pretty straightforward) is that people can shit talk Jensen for a weekend and 1. he'll probably never know about it 2. If he knew about it, he most likely wouldn't care (he's the one who told people to hate-watch The Winchesters) and 3. They'll stop picking on him soon enough and go back to posting about how much they love him.

Meanwhile, the same people who are upset at Jensen getting attacked by fans (and I understand that as well, it's pissing me off and I made a point of telling anons I'm not publishing that stuff) sit by while Misha gets attacked on a daily basis because 'that's what the fandom does.'

That isn't defending Misha and ignoring Jensen. That's just stating facts. Jensen will never not be the fandom's golden boy. He has his stumbles, sure, but they always go back to supporting him. So while I think the attacks against him from this weekend suck, I know they aren't going to stick except for a handful of people like the twat who asked the question that began this entire thing.

Change my pfp? Friend, you need to find a pitchfork and sit on it.
