#because dean is bi

[imaginaryprotagonist]

Sometimes I wonder whether the inevitable (I'm not delusional you are!) Destiel kiss in season 16 will make me less unhinged about those two lovesick fools. Or more.

Forgive me if this doesn't make sense but

Dean understands himself. He is not drowning in internalized homophobia. He doesn't not know that he's into men. What Dean is, however, is a liar. He lies to everyone, all the time. I think this touches on the queer experience in a way we dont always see in media. We always talk about coming out and coming out scenes but why never talk about why we come out. It's because of how difficult the lying is. But deans lied about everything, all his life. Not just about his sexuality, or things related to hunting. But he lies (directly or by ommission) about the music he likes, the clothes he likes, literally everything, just to fit into this box of what everyone expects him to be. He understands himself, you just don't have the critical thinking skills to see past his lies, you take his word at face value even though the show has told you repeatedly that dean is a liar

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

[drulalovescas]

if 911 fandom can in their show revived on a different network have a bisexual fire fighter then supernatural fandom can in their show revived on a different network have a bisexual hunter ?no

Dean complimenting fellow queer people on their game

Bonus inverse, trying to out-game someone to vicariously flirt for/with your presumed-but-not-at-all-straight friend who has no game whatsoever:

Cas knew Dean would keep the colt under his pillow. Sam didn't.

[insanesonofabitch]

I’m a firm believer of the idea that the writers had to get Cas and Dean to stay away from each other as much as possible in season 9, especially after everything that happened before, during, and after their time in Purgatory—like Goodbye Stranger, for example—because if they stayed together, destiel would’ve already been canon.

So just imagine if Gadreel wasn’t a dick who was being used to keep them apart, and they let Cas stay inside the bunker. Cas is human, complete with fresh, new, and intensified human desires. Who’s also canonically in love with Dean, by the way. As for Dean, that motherfucker literally almost confessed in season 8. They wrote an entire subplot about Cas being brainwashed with the intention of breaking him out of it by having Dean confess his feelings towards him. By telling him he loves him.

Do you fucking see where this is headed towards?? THE natural progression of these events??? That the writers had set up and trapped themselves in?????

Human Cas safely staying in the bunker with Dean would’ve been such a perfect environment for more intimate moments between them. And they couldn’t risk that. Dean having to guide Cas through mundane, day-to-day human things he never had to deal with before literally sounds like the plot of a cheesy romantic series I’ve seen. Which makes me wonder about what the hell took place between the night Dean stayed with and took care of Cas after their fight against Ephraim, and the morning when he drove Cas back to work. That was one of the few moments in that season where they could be alone together. And also something that they chose to skip over.

I think we as Sam fans should be more annoying and loud about the fact that his crossroad demons were men twice.

(This is me being pissed off about how people will say dean is of course bi due to some dumb shit like the siren, which was his brother, and “bi lighting” or something, and then turn around and say Sam is the straightest character. Like what.)

6 Reasons I Think Dean Winchester Is Bi:

1. He checks out a soldiers ass in 1944.

2. He got flustered as hell when Aaron Bass flirted with him.

3. He got MORE flustered when he met "Dr Sexy." Later pointing out, "I thought what made Dr Sexy, sexy was the cowboy boots" - bro loves Westerns/cowboy movies. He loves Clint Eastwood. He loves Dr Sexy. Tell me there isn't a direct link there.

4. There's mourning the loss of a friend, and then there's Dean mourning the loss of Cas. Repeatedly. His mental health plummets. Every time.

5. Have you SEEN the way he looks at Cas??? Tell me you stand that close to and/or gaze that longingly at your friends.

6. Benny. I mean. Do I really need to elaborate on this one??? You cannot tell me they didn't have a thing in Purgatory.

This being the original way the hug was scripted in 12x01 is, in my opinion, damning evidence in support of bisexual Dean Winchester.

In every other circumstance, I would say Dean breaking the hug and saying “boundaries” is way out of character but in this very specific instance, it’s in character. Why? Because he only does this after Mary makes a sly comment that implies they’re more than friends.

Her comment “good friend” feels targeted and maybe even like an attack to Dean, who is either in denial about his feelings towards Cas or is aware and doesn’t act on them (for various reasons).

He just got his mother back and he’s on extremely unsure ground. His mother hasn’t been in his life since he was 4 and he doesn’t really know anything about her. He doesn’t know how she feels about gay people and he doesn’t know how she feels about him.

It’s also even more evidence that Dean grew up with a family where men showing affection was uncommon and probably even wrong. That HE was wrong for wanting to show affection. Mary comes from the same kind of family and he knows it. Dean hasn’t been around a family member he loves that believes those kinds of things pretty much since John died. So instinctively, when his mother comes back and makes a comment like that, the affection he’s grown to allow himself to show instinctively gets pulled back inside the second she says something.

So he pushes Cas away and pretends like they’ve ever had “boundaries” past season 4 because the comment catches him off guard and he can’t risk his mother formulating negative opinions about him because she could leave again.

If they had gone this route, I think Dean would’ve felt like shit about it immediately and berated himself for having that reaction. He would’ve made sure to find Cas later when he’s alone to give him a proper hug.
