Go the fuck OFF @ilarual holy shit!!!!!! Cosigned a million times over!!!!!

Controversial suggestion: Supernatural.

Is it going to win? God I hope not. But there really are canonically queer characters. They just happened to also do as much queerbaiting as they conceivably could before revealing Cas was gay the whole time and never letting Dean acknowledge it. And the whole pulling 'bury your gays' on Charlie and Cas. But hey, Claire was still alive!

I'm going to put this one up to a poll

#SUPERNATURAL IS A QUEER TEXT.#THE ANGEL IS LITERALLY GAY. (SORRY BUT DOES THAT NOT COUNT ENOUGH? HOW IS THIS STILL A TOPIC BASED ON CAS ALONE!)#AND YES DEAN WINCHESTER IS *CANONICALLY BISEXUAL.*#I feel like I can benchpress a truck reading that paragraph because it's so refreshing anytime someone doesn't waffle on the facts. PREACH #also as always it makes me want to gnaw on furniture how queerness is in SPN's bones. deliberately crafted as such.#purposefully centralized in the story by the end. it is part of the primary plot and struggle.#the queer love story is a huge part of the reason for Chuck being the final villain!!! fucking HELLLLOOO. YOU CANNOT IGNORE IT!#the allegory about censorship and fight for free will is about breaking out of the narrative and growing beyond the creator's intentions!#because QUEERNESS IS NOW CENTRAL TO THE STORY meaning the characters have superseded the original intent for them!#it's a domino effect in the show and it was a domino effect IRL. that's the POINT. the show (the writers) spell it out #Castiel never did what he was told & his ultimate rebellion came through his queer love for Dean. explicitly.#meanwhile Sam and Dean but ESPECIALLY Dean (Chuck is particularly obsessed with controlling him; it's stated) are fighting to be free...#...to BE WHO THEY ARE. love who they love. define and live in their unconventional queer found family format.#who you are is more important than what you are or what others want you to be. that was true from s1 with John as God-like figure...#and then brought even further to the forefront through Chuck with the addition of the heavy-handed allegory.#because. once again: this all THEMATICALLY BECAME ABOUT BEING QUEER. IT'S ONE OF THE CENTRAL STORY PILLARS.#anon saying 'they just happened to also do as much queerbaiting as they conceivably could' <- SOURCE? BITCH #more like they did as much queercoding and subtext as they conceivably could while molding a narrative into a slow burn queer love story #that wasn't even originally meant to be one and started before same sex marriage was legal #anon: 'before revealing Cas was gay the whole time' <- yeah that's called building a story! sorry it simply took awhile!#that's how TV works even in the best of situations – and this decidedly was NOT the best type of situation and is also incomparable!#anyway. fuck everyone who doesn't respect SPN for being an impressive queer text explicitly and thematically. skill issue on your parts.#and fuck everyone who doesn't think Dean 'counts' as canonically bisexual. and fuck everyone who ignores the other queer characters.#and fuck everyone who thinks destiel is half canon or not fully canon or 'still queerbaiting' (?) because dean wasn't allowed to reciprocat #thank you and goodnight #supernatural #dean is bi
