Happy pride!

Funny story, I went looking for this cursed fucking video recently and it seems like the cw scrubbed it from YouTube (curious, because videos from the same campaign for other shows are still up). However, they forgot to scrub it from Facebook, so you can enjoy it in it's all dogshit glory (image quality is whatever some weird Facebook video Downloader gave me)

Love loses ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙💜

Dean thinks they've been dating for years and they're just taking it slow by human standards because angels are literally older than time so it would actually be really fast in the grand scheme of Cas's life and he's super happy with their dates and emotional intimacy when they have the time, and simultaneously every time Cas even dares to have a romantic thought about Dean he throws himself into a life or death situation to escape both the force of his own emotions and also the instincts of his 'monstrous nature' which is being so angelically horny for Dean he thinks he's going insane, so Dean is living a soap opera style romcom with ups and downs and Cas is living a gothic horror where he is the monster who has lured the maiden in with false pretense and is struggling to not devour her

The concept of the queer warning label is that audiences are okay with queer characters when it's announced ahead of time. That way, certain audience members can hold themselves back, not identify too deeply with the queer character.

We see this with how audiences talked about Xena and Gabrielle: “I loved the show until they made the characters gay.” To some, it wasn't a natural evolution of the story and its characters, but an attack by the creators on the audience. “Why can't it be a tale of friendship for once, they said. Of comradery? You know, transcendent, hard-to-define love!” (As if the world is hurting for such tales.)

Potentially, this underlines the discomfort: I don't want to identify too deeply with the queer characters, (and you can't just let me do it without warning me)!

Most importantly: I don't want to see this character differently because I wanted to be them, and if I wanted to be them... I'm tainted by (who they choose to love).

#also this is why characters like dean winchester REAMIN so important #his latin voice actor perhaps understood that best of all #that is why we have to be careful with obfuscation of queer feelings with harder to define transcendental love #it tends to co-occur with a specific kind of cloaking: shame #let it be straightforward and feel no shame #what you're doing is important: you're resisting the cloak #let it BE what it shows us it is #compare dean's introduction to carlons in spnwin #carlos HAS an explicit and early queer warning label #it's why his character is less important and feels less real than dean's active persistent and richly layered queerness #i feel like it's important for writing too

#this is exactly why straight women are so opposed to bridgerton having a lesbian season imo#in s3 they got a really cool character that they related to in francesca#and then it's revealed that her endgame love story is going to be with another woman#and they HATED that because by that point they were already inserting themselves into her character#specifically in a heterosexual way where they were looking forward to being the subject of male desire by proxy#and when all of a sudden it turns out she's going to be desired by another woman#suddenly they have problems#cishet people really don't like being ''forced'' to relate to queer characters#(and sometimes that even extends to the actors who PLAY those Subterfuge Queer Characters#I think you know who I'm talking about 👀) via @deangirlism101

What an interesting point about Francesca! My mom echoed this just last week. “Why are they turning her into a lesbian?” And yet, when we watched Orphan Black together, she stanned Cosmina and Delphine to the point she was begging my dad for a Halloween couple's costume.

I always found the difference so fascinating.

Destiel comic where they're looking at each other and both thinking 'i need to be inside him' except one is thinking about sex and the other is thinking about cohabitation in a single vessel and the sex one is NOT Dean

Dean "the very touch of you corrupts" Winchester and yet he's always cradling that angel's head away from the cold hard concrete, he's always touching with care and love
