Whenever I see people responding to a show like WWDITS and a ship like Nandermo using the same attitude/phrasing with which they'd respond to like...Supernatural...I just get so sad that this one show managed to do SO much damage to our ability to trust writers who've acted thus far in nothing but good faith and been very open about their intentions from the beginning. WWDITS is not Supernatural. It doesn't have the same writers, the same time period and inherent baggage, the same target audience, it isn't even the same studio.
Does that mean Nandermo will fuck on screen and get married before the end of season 6? Well, no. But it does mean that this is not a show that only begrudgingly acknowledged its own queer origins, subtext, and fanbase after over a decade.
This is a show in which the main characters were queer from almost the very beginning. This is a show without a single straight lead character, where the only gay character is only "the only gay character" because everyone else is bisexual. Where the queerness is text and just treated as totally normal and unremarkable. Where a character is so used to being surrounded by queerness that she forgets straight people exist.
This is also a show where the showrunners saw the chemistry between two characters not intended as love interests and pivoted immediately to embrace and build on that chemistry, to the point that by now they're saying these two have been in a love story from the start. Where they hem and haw about the details of the endgame to avoid actual spoilers, but never shy away from the fact that these two are each other's most significant relationship and love each other and are perfect for each other and can't let each other go (all things actually said by the cast and writers).
This is not Destiel. This is not Supernatural. This is not "which could mean nothing!" every time someone validates that Nandermo is real. It means everything! Let yourself heal from the 15 year queerbait!
