Do you think Jensen is uncomfortable being asked about Destiel?

yes but i don't think it's because the concept of destiel makes him uncomfortable at this point. i think it's because every single time he speaks about destiel, no matter what he says, a whole bunch of people are upset in a whole bunch of different directions. he says cas was dean's best friend and well that just means he's homophobic because obviously cas was more than that, but also how dare he forget about sam. he says dean was thinking that he should've said i love you too and well he obviously meant it platonically and how dare anyone think otherwise but also he stuttered when he said it so he was trying to hold back slurs. he says cas's confession testament isn't something that needs to be resolved which obviously means they will never ever address it despite the 6000 other things he's said about wanting to give it the weight it deserves when dean and cas reunite. jensen hates gay people and specifically he wants to spit in hellers faces but also how dare he say things that legitimize destiel he's a monster and this is why we love jared.

The earlier seasons of Supernatural are superior because both brothers got to have lore and emotional arcs instead of in later seasons where the writers could only be bothered to focus on one brother at a time.

Bibros love to call anyone who disagrees with them about anything ✨delusionsal destiel shippers ✨ while they pompously throw around what are at best tenuously supported takes about the brothers bond but what are often just outright WRONG takes. I just had to read someone say Dean would wrap Cas’s own intestines around his neck and choke him to death to save Sam. Babygirl that isn’t the canon source material it’s your jerkoff fantasy stop demanding all of us collectively treat your kink as reality.

Gotta love bronlies' ability to turn a phrase

i know we joke about the absurdity of the "cas watched dean rake leaves nonconsensually" tweet but damn it's wild how many of the bronlies unironically see cas as a covetous predatory homosexual terrorising poor heterosexual dean

Anyway between getting more and more, like, genuinely pissed off at all the lecture-the-idiots posts by the contingent who can now directly claim "the only bad actions that have any narrative or emotional weight on this show are the ones that make our main couple feel bad, duh, the show is about them not the plot devices minor side characters" and view this as wonderful and enjoyable writing (that frankly more shows should aspire to match the "nuance" of 🙄) instead of any sort of problem, while also finally just giving up in frustration on puzzling out what the hell would need to be spliced into canon to pull off a satisfying ending within the framework of S2 (this is a big deal for me since I'm the person who is making God!Jack work in a spn fix-it - I like the puzzle and restrictions of canon compliance)...

I think I'm officially about burned out on engaging with OFMD S2 🤷‍♀️

Frustration fires never last as long as enjoyment ones, and I'm not keen to keep engaging with things once the scale tips toward upsetting. It's been cathartic doing a post-mortem with you all 🫡 I still enjoy reblogging cute Frenchie/Izzy fanart and such, I've still got daemon AU thoughts tabs that I briefly set aside for recipes this past week, but canon kinda sucks tbh.

Okay, I just found out on Instagram that there's a thing called "Bronly" (Brothers Only) that happens to be a fan that values Sam and Dean above all other characters (like all should).

It also added that most are wincest shipper and tends to be particularly negative towards c*stiel and to have conflicts with h*llers. Some also being tinhats.

It also pointed that is different from being a bibro that just likes the brothers the same with no preferences.

I don’t know if this was supposed to be a negative thing or a "pejorative term" like it was discribed in the post but I don't see it I actually really liked it. I'm claiming myself as a bronly now.

Impressive how much supernatural vocabulary there is out there.

[clairenatural]

Listen I am also a Sam enjoyer but a also Jared hater and someone pointed out baby took priority over Sam as a character and like. Good for her and good for Jensen considering the jivorce of it all

the implication that dean has a spacetime-traveling car and went searching for a universe where his "family could have a happy ending" instead of just going and chilling on earth with sam, who is still alive

[deansawthetvglow]

oh no hiiiii wincesties how are u

[hellerism]

s7 is so bad without cas fuuuuck 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[soldierboys]

i mean making dean perma alive would’ve been great but also making dean a major part of a whole ass story that required it’s own show instead of making him drive around and wait for sam was such a power move on their part

[dreamytfw]

Over my 12 years of being in the fandom, I've encountered quite a few new fans who are always very surprised at how defensive Sam fans are. Then I see the same handful of (somehow popular) cliquey Dean fans constantly talking shit about Sam fans. They'll do things like generalize a few toxic outliers as the entirety of Sam fans. Or they'll put blatant anti posts in the Sam Winchester tag and then act like "omggg those Sam girls are SO unhinged" when they get push back. Meanwhile, someone points out something Dean did IN CANON that is unambiguously morally bad they lose their minds and call that person an anti, regardless of who they actually do or don't like.

And I'm like YEAH CAN'T IMAGINE WHY SAM FANS ARE SO DEFENSIVE SURE IS A MYSTERY

People do need to understand that Tumblr is a blogging site and consider the actual implications of that. Like. I do get the confusion at first when you come from somewhere like Reddit or Twitter or whatever because it took me a long time to get this too, but Tumblr is a blogging site—which means people come here to fill a personalized page with their own personal little thoughts. People who like to read their silly little thoughts or see art they create or whatever can follow them if they want.

The reason argumentative, rude, and/or aggressive reblogs/comments are generally frowned upon here is that Tumblr is a blog site. You aren't commenting to the general public in some community subreddit—you are commenting on someone's personal blog page. They are the moderator of that page and have full control of the content on that page and its notes. In other words, each person here is the captain of their own little ship. They will often let you come hang out on their little ship and chat, but there is no expectation that they tolerate your rudeness, your snippy little whiney bratty tags, or your obnoxious unasked for and often ill-formed opinion that they are wrong about everything ever in the history of time... especially over silly fandom disk horse.

Reblogging someone's post to be a shitbag in their notes is like walking into someone's house, being offered a meal, and spitting in their food. It doesn't matter that you think the food is nasty. You keep that shit to yourself. You can whine and moan on your own blog (I do it all of the time!) If you want to go somewhere and literally just fight back and forth with people for eternity, reddit is right there and will make it incredibly easy for you.

it's always an option to bring back "bibro". i'm not saying we should but,

[maipareshaan]

All the hellers whining about bronlies and like i get whining at certain behaviour but that's the thing, they whine about doing media right and art and interpretation but they are very strange very weird found family fluff freaks who are clearly extremely against the premise of the show and thus a negative hater pro censorship blog.

Like that's it, they don't know that's what they are bcz they are so focused on how morally correct they are bcz they have feelings about fake ppl on a show and want certain narratives that are healthy and positive for them, they think they are that, like a good activist positive blog who is only funny mean. Blech the found family fluff freaks.
