Q: In season 5 episode Dark Side of the Moon, Sam and Dean found out that they were soulmates and it was never really addressed after that, so what did they think when they found that out? Jared: I think they knew.

#j2 #dccon 2024 #jared padalecki #jensen ackles #dccon #supernatural #j2 cons #spn 5x16 #j2 gifs #sam and dean #j2gifs #mygifs #i didn't expect them to say they thought they already knew they were soulmates. that's so interesting #canonical soulmates #i think it's a very cool and unusual thing actually that a 00s cw show had canon platonic soulmates #framing a platonic relationship being at that level of love and devotion usually reserved for romantic relationships in media is v neat #and it's something that carried through the show until the end and also how j2 have talked about it during and after #it's not about shipping - it's just about what happened on the actual show. so yeah. i appreciated this answer #a win for platonic relationships everywhere <3 #i never would have anticipated that there would be debate over whether or not this was canonical #and i personally don't think there would have been a debate about it if not for the ship wars wanting it to not be a thing #the subtext that i think you can argue is that-as the show often does-it leans a little into that- but it's maybe also more than platonic #the horror is that their love even if it's socially unacceptable is the best thing about their lives something something
