#destiel deserved better

What a night.

[lazarus-rose]

You know what I want? I want Dean and Cas to grow old together. I want them to be wizened old men sitting in rocking chairs that Dean pretends he hates on the porch of the house they own together down the street from Sam and Eileen, griping about new technology and young hunters while they hold hands

September 18th is also their day. 💚💙 Dean and Cas mean the world to me and I miss them with all of my heart.

To you, Dean and Cas! 🥃🥃

Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.

And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.

THIS

If you’re a cishet person telling queer stories, the Supernatural ending and what it did to queer fans should be mandatory homework. You need to know how we watched the angel and the hunter die without ever finding peace in life. You need to know how fans were told to shut up, because the angel being allowed to be queer out loud for less than 30 seconds after 12 years on the show was a win for diversity, obviously. You need to know how within 72 hours of the finale airing, fans had donated over $60,000 - in small amounts - to organizations dedicated to uplifting the marginalized groups SPN gave the middle finger to with its conclusion. You need to know about the Castiel Project. You need to know about “They silenced you.”

You need to know these things so you stop doing this to us. We need the people who come out late in life, who survive abuse and depression, who are just starting to find themselves - we need them to live.

Whatever else happens, whatever other joy you think you’ve given us to make up for it… it’s not enough.

We need them to live.

All we had was us,

all I wanted was you,

all you needed was me,

and of course, I forgive you.

Now I know that we all are like so not over dean keeping the trench coat in s7 buttttttt the one thing I think people don’t notice or forget is that dean didn’t have baby at the time they had to keep switching cars so that means he brought that coat with him every single time. Like ugh! They make me sick!

[strawlessandbraless]

There were things...people, feelings that he wanted to experience differently than he had before. Or maybe even for the first time

Dean's nothing about our lives is real speech? When he says "everything we are is because of chuck"? He was speaking privately & directly to Castiel when he said that.

Not to Sam. Not everything I am. Everything we are. Dean was having a full on crisis.

"You asked, 'What about all of this is real?' We are." Dean didn't know how right Cas was.

Like no baybee. It'll take 15 episodes, but god himself will tell you Cas defied him and his plan to love you, actually.

The "fuck, I feel so stupid" really hits home for us spn fans. We really should have known better

I'm so fucking angry.

The thing is: if the show isn't renewed for a third season, then Izzy is well and truly dead, and it's a betrayal. If there is a third season and they don't resurrect him somehow, it's also a betrayal. And if there is a third season and they resurrect him (and I'm not hopeful at all, having seen those extracts from interviews), it means we would have spent months grieving his character and being devastated and enraged and not daring to hope. It would also be a betrayal, just a smaller one.

Like.

It was kinda obvious at the end of season 1, and in the time between the two seasons, that Lucius' death wouldn't stick. (And he was a less important character anyway. I would have been really annoyed but I would have suck it up, I guess.) We were hopeful, in any case.

It doesn't feel like that. At all.

There's no hope, no excitement. Whatever they've planned, I'm not sure I care anymore.

And the irony for me is that I like dark stories, I like angst, I like heartbreak, I'm not even opposed to a major queer character dying *if it's consistent with the tone and the themes of a show* (and well executed, which isn't the case here) but that's NOT what I signed for with OFMD.

I thought we were past that.

Fuck, I feel so stupid.

[reallyunluckyrunaway]

Me too gurl, me too...🥺

[thenameisgul]

if supernatural creatives just put in a little more effort into the show it could’ve been so good

Like, you introduced a character that speaks ASL so let them speak ASL!

If Sam speaks ASL then show him get better at it as time progresses other than just some simple gestures.

Show dean try to learn and speak in broken ASL because eileen is his friend and she’s important to sam.

Let Castiel, ‘I don’t get words wrong’ , angel of the lord, speak fluent ASL because ofcourse he does.

If they just used a little bit more of their budget and tried a little harder. Ugh

[ldrmas]

This!

His death is different because OFMD was an openly queer show. Castiel then Dean was snatched from us without Spn ever once projecting being a safe space for queerness, and that was devastating.

Now to turn around and get this, a "safe space ship" only to lose a beloved character who was just starting an arc of accepting themselves.

That's just plain soul shattering.

I don't want a 3rd szn without Izzy. I just don't. Call me dramatic or whatever, but I'm so genuinely heartbroken by his death. I feel so betrayed. Izzy was the heart of the show, and now he's gone.

The aftermath of his death felt rushed, he wasn't buried at sea (like what the fuck, a lifelong pirate like Izzy would've wanted to be buried at sea) and the crew was just happy to get back on the revenge and set sail without their unicorn? Everyone just gets a happily ever without Izzy? Izzy died a painful death shot by a pompous asshole and for what? Some metaphor about the end of the golden age of piracy? Piss off. Closure for Ed? That could've been achieved a number of other ways. Izzy couldn't get any assurances that HE was loved? Even on his fucking deathbed? The man who protected the crew with life and limb? It doesn't feel right, and it never will. Izzy deserved so much better, and so did Con.

And worst of all, perhaps, is that Djenkins was planning on killing him all along. The whole time, while we were falling in love with the little angry man, rooting for him and rejoicing when he wore makeup in front of the crew and was vulnerable with them...he was a dead man walking.

It feels doubly awful because we, as an audience, were given something we've never had before, an unapologetically queer show. One that didn't soften or censor itself for straight viewers. It was created with such love, at least it felt like, for us. So to be given that gift, and to feel recognized and seen and appreciated, only to have it snatched away...

I can only speak for myself, of course, but it's genuinely heartbreaking. I'm so utterly disappointed. I wish so badly that Con got more time with Izzy. I think Izzy means a lot to him, and he means a lot to us, too.

❤️‍🩹🦄❤️‍🩹I love you, Izzy, and I always will. Rest in peace, my little meow meow, you were and are so loved.❤️‍🩹🦄❤️‍🩹
