#and that dean would want to talk abt the confession. like ok that conversation will go one of two ways

[angelsdean]

if anything i think we'll get canon bi dean + reciprocation to the confession in any spn continuation produced by jensen simply bc i don't think #1 casgirl (and mishagirl) danneel would let cas get his heart broken by dean dfkfkgk

i think people often forget how many bibro go to these cons, i mean they're sending death threats to his wife, to him, to misha when they're saying something they don't like. i don't blame him for wanting to please everyone as best he can, i just wish he shouldn't have to.

yea these cons and esp the j*2 panels are just full of the worst fans and unfortunately he's stuck in the middle between destiel fans who want him to validate the confession and /those fans/ who want him to condemn anything related to destiel. And people can say what they want abt him but i really do not think he's anti destiel, def not in recent yrs, (i know there were comments made ages ago) but like looking at recent yrs, esp post-confession and how involved he was with the scene, suggesting the bloody handprint !!!, being excited abt fan reactions and sharing reactions vids with misha, and just being obviously close friends with misha who views the scene as a romantic declaration of love and having conversations with him about the scene, there's just no way IMO that he genuinely Hates destiel.

But he's in a horrible position where anything he says one way or the other will get ripped to shreds by either side, so he tries to straddle the line and stay neutral and fucks up and fumbles his answers and gives these half-ways amazing destiel answers and the backtracks. And i get that's frustrating, i do !! As a hardcore destiel fan i would love for him to just openly talk abt the confession and validate dean's feelings for cas but when i step back and look at the whole picture and just how vile those other fans can be, i also do get why he plays it like he does. I'm someone who hates conflict too and if i were him speaking in a room mostly full of j*2 fans who have a history of getting nasty and personal when they're upset then yeah i'd probs try and say something "safe" to not ignite their wrath.

And people are allowed to feel how they feel of course! People are allowed to be upset by his response. I do think it was bold as hell to even say dean would say 'i love you too' and hug cas in a room full of those fans. Like that alone must've pissed off hardcore j*2 fans. And honestly i am latching onto that 'i love you too' because it's just !!! Dean was literally upset he couldn't say anything back to cas and if given the chance he would've literally said 'i love you too' and anyone watching that would've immediately read it as romantic! So yea if he had to cushion that statement with a 'it was like losing a brother' whatever. It's not the end of the world for me. And truly, it doesn't even matter what actors say at the end of the day. Destiel literally is canon and they belong to us now anyway<3 ***also not saying he shouldn't be criticized either like yes, be critical of people when they mess up ! but also, crucially, people are people, meaning they will mess up. i am very much a fan of 'actors are just some guys'! which means, like some guys, they will say stupid shit and not have the perfect responses to everything and fumble and probably not say what they meant or put their foot in their mouth about it. ok, enough abt all this now lmao back to what matters: destiel in gay love.
