hello dear mutual! I have a question. I'm no longer in the fandom but I like watching from the sidelines. there was a poll asking if destiel will still be made canon and my question is: how. isn't the prequel planned about the parents? I would love an explanation cause I don't understand. thank you so much!!

Hello there friend!! I'm happy to explain, I love rambling about this batshit show so much!

So yes, the prequel is about the parents, but I'm not sure how much you know about it so here's a little primer: from what I've seen, it's actually Dean telling the story of how his parents met and fell in love, presumably while he's up in Heaven post-finale (y'know, where Cas is also supposed to be). Jensen and his wife Daneel are executive producing, and the prequel is being showrun by Robbie Thompson, known for writing such episodes as Goodbye Stranger (the crypt scene my beloved!!!!!!), Meta Fiction ("What makes a story work? Is it the plot, the characters, the text? The subtext?"), and Fan Fiction (the musical ep! With Sam teasing Dean about destiel!). So from the get-go everyone was like 👀 because Robbie has always been a destiel-positive writer! Plus, apparently, Daneel's favourite character is Cas, so it would make sense for them to bring Cas back if they (and Misha) wanted!

Please bear in mind that I haven't actually watched any of the prequel, i've just been living vicariously through my dash. People who have actually watched it/know more than me please feel free to add on/correct me!

So, to my knowledge, the reasons people are thinking they might make Destiel canon in the prequel are (in no particular order):

a) A few weeks ago there was an episode that had Gabriel (as played by Richard Speight Jr) as the MOTW and also had a background cameo from Rob Benedict in a very bad wig (unclear if that was Chuck or not), and there have been quotes from (i think) Robbie saying that they're only having cameos from OG SPN actors if it's relevant to the story they want to tell (and since the Rob cameo was not explained or plot-relevant people are thinking they're possibly going to do a Chuck won scenario? It could turn out that he was never actually defeated in 15.19 and now Dean has to show up to fight him again (and get Cas back?? maybe??))

b) In that same episode, there was a scene where Mary and John look at a picture of some dude who'd given them a clue or talked to John or something - it was Dean! So he's alive again, briefly, in the 70s. Could be time travel, could be he's escaped from Heaven. So if Dean is around in the show, whether just as narrator or as a character in the story, he has the potential to go rogue and look for Cas, or be telling the story to Cas up in Heaven. In either case, there is the potential for canon destiel, if they (Jensen, Daneel, Robbie, Misha, etc.) decide they want to do that.

c) Jensen has said various things at cons recently which are kinda 👀, including that he'd have been happy to keep going on SPN for another 6 years, and, most recently (this weekend), which I think sparked the poll you were talking about - that if Dean and Cas reunited Dean would say "Hey, can we talk about that goodbye a little bit?" and then joked that nah, it would be more like "hey, buddy, good to see you, old pal" but THEN said "I don't know, maybe we'll get to see that, that would be interesting" (Here's a gifset of him saying that if you're interested)

Also this:

[ID: Tweet from Toni @JensFloofHair.

JENSEN WANTS TO FILM A NEW ENDING FOR SUPERNATURAL, THE ONE HE HAD DREAMED OF. ABOUT A 2 DAY SHOOTING, HE SAYS.

Misha: I mean, you have the Impala.

Damn right, nothing stopping them!!

It's no secret that Jensen Did Not like the finale, apparently Eric Kripke had to talk him into it and he still makes salty jokes about it even now. Add the fact that he got someone else to film the confession for him because he wanted to have a record of it, and has said they cut out key parts of his performance in that scene (which is why the editing of it is so janky). So it's possible that he intended for there to be actual reciprocation in that scene and, well, now he's got the reins. He could do it if he wanted!!!

d) The prequel finale - airing next Tuesday, Jack help us - is titled "Hey, that's no way to say goodbye". Which was already kinda 👀 before the con this weekend, but combined with Jensen saying Dean would say "can we talk about that goodbye a little bit?" is um. Look I don't wanna get my hopes up. But also........ 👀👀👀

I think the prevailing theories at the moment (from what I've seen on my dash) are that either:

a) They're baiting us to keep interest in the prequel (I trust Robbie but I don't really trust Jensen, so this seems likely)

b) They really are gonna bring Cas back, either as him being the one Dean is telling this story to up in Heaven, or using that Rob Benedict cameo to retcon the finale and make the show about breaking free of Chuck's control for realsies this time (which hopefully means Cas actually showing up and not being explained away in one line like the finale)

Like I said, I don't wanna get my hopes up because I don't quite trust Jensen. But. Given Robbie Thompson showrunning and Daneel loving Cas and Jensen dropping all these maybe-maybe-not hints. If they DID make destiel canon. I would not be surprised.

Well maybe a little bit but in an "I can't believe I was right" way.

my hiatus fics

Hello! 

Are you a fan who’s freshly returned from hiatus? Did you not keep up with the joshler ao3 tag? Or are you a new fan who’s looking to read some fics? Or howdy to my peeps who’ve stuck around through the drought.

I’ve compiled a list of stories that I’ve written in the hiatus time (July 7th, 2017-July 11th, 2018), for you to catch up on! 

1. Straw Stages (Aug 6th. wc: 738): short freeform story about the end of the blurryface era and Josh shaving his head

Out with the old; rebirth.

2.  That's What Best Friends Do (Sep 4th. 3/3 wc: 8,436): Tyler and Josh keep ending up in threesomes but they’re still just. friends..... right? was a ton of fun to write!

They don't plan on going out to a bar, and would never follow someone home. Moral of the story: everything is better when your best friend is involved, and never say never

3.  Spin Cycle (dirty laundry) (Sep 16th. 7/7 wc: 26,584): my tour de force of hiatus. took all summer to write. Josh’s nudes leak and Tyler has a major life crisis. i’m very proud of this.

There were many tweets warning others ‘don't share the pics. You’re an asshole if you do. Be respectful!' but it didn’t take Tyler too long to uncover the first of the photos.

Everything changed after that.

4.  Your Smile Like Home to Me (Oct 12th. wc: 1,019): crying at movies and emotional sex. who doesn’t love a quick little h/c?

Crying at movies is cathartic; that's why people watch Pixar and the Hallmark Channel.

5.  Greasy Taco, I Love (You) (Oct 22nd. wc: 4,313): a hiatus fic with mutual pining and first kiss. Josh and Tyler have late night taco bell and talk about their feelings.

“Put a shirt on, we're going to TB” Rooftop tacos and confessions; Josh and Tyler have been feeling empty ever since going on hiatus. “What about pants?”

6.  Costume Contest (Oct 31st. wc:  5,395) a collaborative fic with one of my favorite writers, TheDyingSun. Josh and Tyler meet at a halloween party and drunken shenanigans ensue.

Josh was extremely pleased with himself, completely certain he’d win the ‘Worst Costume’ award for the fourth year in a row.

His hairy thighs would clinch the deal.

7.  Cages (Nov 7. wc: 2,558) first of a cool series that I occasionally work on with all the AUs you could possibly want: soulmate, dystopian, superpowers,  sentinels & guides. I’m hyped to write more for this if Dema wasn’t consuming my brain. Josh is just trying to find what job he wants, and ends up finding his soulmate instead

Josh's future was uncertain; no mate, the looming threat of hard manual labor for the rest of his life. He was sure nothing special would ever happen to him.

And then he saw him.

8.  Merry and Bright (Dec 25th. wc: 3,407) a return to one of my favorite AUs: the hospital au! Doctors Josh and Tyler are having their first Christmas as a married couple, but tough time at work is making Tyler into a Scrooge.

The first Christmas as a married couple was supposed to be perfect, but life as a doctor is always full of unexpected interruptions.

9.  Erase (Dec 28th.  2,905) another part to the dystopian work from Cages. After their fateful meeting, Josh is dealing with memory loss and fear of what is going to happen to the both of them.

Josh had been waiting his whole life to find his soulmate, but after what happened at their first, chaotic meeting, he was shocked to find that Tyler was a memory he struggled to recall.

Someone had done something to his mind.

10.  In Studio (Jan 3rd. 661) a hiatus fic where Tyler is having a tough time dealing with his own mind and stress writing this new album. Josh helps him relax. again... who doesn’t love some good h/c?

Sometimes, Tyler just needs someone to pull him from the rut in his mind. Thankfully Josh is always there.

11.  If You Stick Around (May 20th. wc: 20,099) I took a few months off because I was consumed with writing this story. I’m quite proud of this as well. It’s an AU where Josh is a famous new singer, and Tyler plays guitar in his touring band. slow burn and I hope you enjoy this

It had always been Tyler's dream to play music on stage in front of thousands and thousands of adoring fans. Granted he wanted to be performing his own music, but at this point he'd take what he could get, and besides, at least he liked Josh Dun's songs. ... In which Tyler is a back-up musician who has a massive crush on the rising star he's on tour with.

12.  Sounding Down the Mountain Range (Jul 5th. 5,642) a return to another much beloved au: stormboyfriends! Josh gets injured on the job and the two have to reassess where their relationship is going.

It was undeniably ironic that Josh falling off a cliff happened while they were filming Tyler’s new television show How To Survive Anything.

Grand total words published in hiatus: 81,757. I hope you find something you enjoy!
