#destiel-is-canon-i-guess

[hoziersong]

no but the thing is. they KISSED. on screen. it was a real scene, not deleted, not removed from a script, it HAPPENED in front of the world's eyes. and AND the actors are normal about it and the whole cast and crew is normal about it and it's not vague and it's IMPORTANT. no matter the rest of it and what came after it, it happened!!

[pendragonsclotpole]

why are all the big “insert name slash ship is canon” events always four years apart in november? like it’s only happened twice so far but twice is more than i expected

what’s on the slate for the end of the month in four years, a ten episode merlin series reboot with a merthur confirmation and reunification in the modern day??????

fuck, imagine if it’s hannibal season four. double fuck, what does that mean for the election??

Those canonverse fanfics of yours, there are just bits of their lives that we didn't see on our screens (at least to me).

while im avoiding watching the barn scene, one thing that im thinking about that i had forgotten until now was that during the stupid pie festival scene when sam brings up missing cas and dean just seems, while a little sad, to be absolutely fine about it. and that's just so not realistic to me AT ALL. there is no universe where this dean would be okay with cas being gone like that. where he wouldn't try to save him after they "beat" god. i think that's part of why 15x20 bothers me so much. just NONE of it fits for me. dean and sam don't seem sad but they also don't seem to be happy either? they just feel like robots, like caricatures of themselves. like they're just going through the motions. and i hate it. to me i just feel like this has GOT to be chuck. everything that they're doing feels like it was written for them like this is that shitty ending that chuck originally wrote. man if they ever do the spn revival miniseries this had better be how they write it. there's literally nothing else that would make sense to me because this is NOT just dean and sam living their lives. it's not them at all.

I literally had such a great day. We were dismissed at 2PM due to a company-wide event, I went to happy hour with my former teammates and it was so good to socialize with people I love, Donald Trump was convicted of THIRTY FOUR FELONIES, and I got to watch Evan “Daddy Issues” Buckley flirt with his hot, older firefighter/pilot boyfriend on my screen. AND NO ONE DIED (on the show. Also in real life but that wasn’t really a question).

To be fair, hellers aren't wrong for thinking there's Destiel subtext in the show. They're just incredibly obtuse for not realizing there's subtext between all the characters in this show.

[dreamytfw]

idk I just think celebrating Cas killing himself every year is, at best, tacky and tone-deaf. But #AlwaysKeepFighting I guess 🙄

[show-me-memes-pls]

You see, I would love to look at posts relevant to my interests. But every time I look at tags for a movie or show, it’s an onslaught of every character combo imaginable making out.

[ladyluscinia]

People using a lot of words to restate the exact ridiculous points of my meme while explaining to me how I'm using the meme wrong because their Blessed Kingdom is blessed for reals and our Barbarous Wastes are tragically actually barbarous they are certain

[youchangedmedestiel]

Guys, I can't. I'm not strong enough for today. I - I'm in my premenstrual phase. I'm sick as hell and haven't slept well in days, I just can't.

I can't see gifs or pics or whatever related to Cas's declaration of love to Dean. I might burst into tears at any moment.

WHAT

[deancasforcutie]

#I just know he almost stabbed Ketch instead #heheheh #also I always laugh at Dean just. standing there. after Cas has done the thing to Sam. 'surely not me right?' yes you too Dean (via @ironworked)

castiel + that thing he does

It's been fascinating seeing the reaction to the poll. The Destiel fans seem to think their ship deserves to stay popular and relevant just because... it used to be popular and relevant, I guess? Reading these tags has such a flavor of entitlement, it's really something.

It's like they're not realizing that the standards for what qualifies as good representation, or even a good show, have shifted in the last 10 or so years. Not realizing that a lot of people who were here back then, like me, never cared for Supernatural, and don't agree it was important at all, and would not be interested in celebrating it. Not realizing that other fandoms have been happening around them, and that some, like in the case of Mobile Suit Gundam, have legacies that reach back to decades before Supernatural was even on the air.

Destiel is such a product of its time. It's a fanon ship that, as I recall, was strongly disliked by its show's staff, acknowledged only because the fans demanded it so much. The ending of Supernatural was widely mocked, and the show is now mostly remembered as that meme people learn the news through.

Sulemio meanwhile had the full, joyous support of its staff, and was canon since the first episode of Gundam Witch. The whole show's plot revolved around this pairing. The Gundam franchise hit record sales numbers during and after the show. Sulemio brought hundreds if not thousands of new people into the mecha audience, and got many of them interested in the hobby of building Gunpla. Suletta and Miorine being canonically married even stood out politically, because gay marriage is not legal in Japan.

Is this not progress? Is this not worth celebrating? Why cling to the old and busted when the new hotness is doing such great things?

"Be serious", they say. But I am serious. I've been serious the whole time.

Maybe it's not for me to understand.
