Dean and Sam aren't the protagonists in some screwed-up cosmic story anymore. ![]() ![]() "Carry On," the final episode, opens on the appropriately named song "Ordinary Life." After years of self-doubt and doubting Sam, Dean says, "I'm good with who I am. There are plenty of platonic and familial love confessions in the show. Whether Dean feels the same is up for debate, but the angel's feelings on the matter are pretty explicit, and no one would question it for a second if Cas' vessel were a woman. No one says they want something they can never have before a platonic love confession. The script tells the story, clearly illustrating that Cas is in love with Dean Winchester. What was once a relationship built on subtext has dissolved into text. Many Destiel (Cas and Dean) shippers are looking to Collins and Ackles for answers on Castiel's confession - but they don't need it. Cas accepts himself with no apology or fear of rejection, setting himself free. Castiel's confession isn't about Dean - it's about him finally getting in touch with his deepest human emotions while being honest. When Cas looks back at his time knowing and loving Dean, he realizes that the hunter's true feelings about him don't matter. Welcome to the ‘ I Emotionally Invested In This Show For Years Only For The Finale To Suck‘ club, Supernatural fans.In a relationship that is as long, important, and formative to who a person (or angel) is, there's a moment where someone has to decide if they're going to allow the experience to break them or affect them positively. While I can honestly say Supernatural and I never really clicked, even as someone horrendously addicted to Fantasy TV, I can always sympathise with the particular grief of being a dedicated longtime fan (especially a queer fan) of a show, only for the show-runners to throw the finale in your face (yes, I’m GLARING at you Penny Dreadful, and Game of Thrones). hey supernatural maybe you fucked up? #supernatural /LAyDUqz6w2 If you’re interested in a more in-depth analysis of the Supernatural fandom’s grief from someone who has actually seen the show all the way through, Kat Trenbarge’s Insider piece has the tea. ًhal | still on rt limit November 20, 2020 "cas helped" that's the only mention of castiel spn's third lead for the last 12 years and their canon queer character and after 12 seasons of queerbaiting lgbtq+ fans they just didn't even mention deancas cwspn fuck you and your horrible ass show #Supernatural ![]() Many queer Supernatural fans feel cheated and humiliated after so many years of loyalty to the series, only for it to let them down again. Charlie, played by Felicia Day, was a lesbian character who appeared in series 7, but she was killed shortly after she fell in love with a woman in the series’ 10th season. It’s a narrative trope that sees many LGBTIQ characters killed, often to further the plot for non-LGBTIQ characters.Ĭastiel was the last Supernatural character to fall victim to the ‘bury your gays’ trope, he was not the first. To make matters worse, killing Castiel after having him confess his love for Dean (and the show essentially never mentioning him again) strongly aligns with the homophobic ‘bury your gays’ trope.
