#the mfs at screen rant can't even deny

[gayofthefae]

I JUST LAUGHED OUT LOUD.

I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE NAME OF THE OLD COUPLE WHO TAUGHT BUCK ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF QUEER LOVE IN 208 AND YES I PROBABLY TYPED IT TOO VAGUELY BUT

THEY'RE THE FIRST RESULT FOR 911 GAYS PFTHAHA

[and the fact that it's them filming their son - right after Eddie apologizes to Buck for getting back with his wife and Buck tells him it's not like he's having an affair, and right before Buck doesn't correct the lady who assumes they're together. Great scene all around. They were like "what's the most coupley photo/scene we can possibly pick to really nail it home for the people who haven't seen it. Camcorder parents. Done.]

I saw your post about Sam and Joaquin, and it was definitely a flirty meet up/date. How often do you see Sam get giggly like that? Did people not see him fluttering his eyelashes at Joaquin because I did. Joaquin clearly has a big crush on Sam.....did Joaquin ask him out?

To compare, a lot of people saw the flirting between Bucky and Sarah the first time they met and don't question it. Their screen time was less than a minute in total.

Why do people still ignore stuff when it's Sam? It's not our fault he flirts with men, but he does, the scenes are there. People flirt with Sam as they should.

Hi Anon!!!

They were flirting indeed, and it looked a lot like a date!

"Did Joaquin ask him out?" You're asking the important questions here anon! How did this happen? There were several people on that mission right? How come Sam and Joaquin are the only ones who grabbed a coffee afterwards, did Joaquin ask? Did Sam suggest it? How did this happen? The more I write about it the more I realize how much of a date it was, the looks, the smiles, Samuel Thomas Wilson PLEASE, at least try to be more discreet.

"To compare, a lot of people saw the flirting between Bucky and Sarah the first time they met and don't question it."

"Why do people still ignore stuff when it's Sam?"

It's a combination of a lot of things==>

1)Sarah & Bucky are a MF couple so it's easier for the viewers to notice the flirting, if the same scenes had been shared by Sam and Bucky or Sam

This isn't just this fandom, it's how it has always been, MF couples represent a majority of the couples we see in mainstream media so people notice it more, and you should know that there are some stupid people who still tried to argue that Sarah and Bucky weren't flirting even though they clearly were.

2) No one in the pairing is white, so the MCU fandom just doesn't care... You can be assured that the only reason why Sambucky is so popular because a White character is part of the ship, otherwise nobody would have cared.

Show me a popular MM ship were none of the characters is White? I'll wait... Or even any other ship for the matter...

Even when something HUGE happened and we got to see the first canon MCU superhero who was gay, nobody cared. The Phastos fandom literally consists of 15 people, lol. Even though, he's married and has a kid and shared a kiss onscreen with his husband.

Sorry I deviated and went into an unexpected rant but yeah, this is disappointing but not surprising.

Even from my side I had been wondering why the Samquin ship wasn't more popular, because all their scenes were soo flirtatious.... Like Joaquin facetiming Sam even though his face was a mess, Sam little smile when he told Joaquin he was a wise man. I'm Sambucky through and through and I have been shipping them for years, but you can't deny those scenes were...something!

And finally, I'll say something no one is ready to hear but Anthony Mackie doesn't know how to play a Straight Sam Wilson, and I don't even think he wants to. In my opinion, the director told him in Captain America: The Winter Soldier that he would be Steve's love interest, and Anthony decided that's how he would play Sam from then on.

"It's not our fault he flirts with men, but he does, the scenes are there. People flirt with Sam as they should." ==> YES ANON!!!!

Honestly, Sam has flirty with a woman, once or maybe twice, that's it? But if you ask me how many times he was openly flriting with men??? CATWS, TFATWS,.... Steve, Bucky, Joqauin, I could give a dozens of examples at least!. It's really not our fault Sam keeps flirting with men hahaha.

15x09 "The Trap" Confession Scene (and the Saileen/Destiel parallel)

First off, let me just- uhh what the fuck Dabb. You said this would "redefine their relationship" so what the fuck man.

Okay now. This is it. The big one. And as controversial as this is, I think I can say that Destiel is canon. There's a few things in this episode that. idk. Really did it for me.

First (duh) the prayer scene. I've been waiting for 12 fucking seasons for this shit. Was I disappointed. A little bit, yeah. But I still think that Jensen really did say gay rights with his performance. I didn't get a single bit of platonic feelings from that scene.

[Transcript (as best as I can replicate at least): "Cass? Cass, I hope you can hear me that wherever you are, it's not too late. I should've stopped you. You're my best friend, but I just let you go. 'Cause it was easier than admitting I was wrong. I I don't know why I get so angry. I just know I know that it's i-it's just always been there. And when things go bad, it just it comes out. And I can't I can't stop it. No matter how how bad I want to, I just can't stop it. And And I I forgive you. Of course I forgive you. I'm sorry it took me so long. I'm sorry it took me till now to say it. Cass, I I'm so sorry. Man, I hope you can hear me. I hope you can hear me." End ID]

Let's mf unpack this now. Before I get into anything he said can I just say? Dean realized Cass was missing and he just broke down. Like he really fucking broke and uh, yikes, you know? Now. First off Dean has made an improvement. He said "You're my best friend." And not "You're like a brother to me." Which, like. Dean, good for u honey. Because while brother is platonic, can best friends not also be lovers?

Okay, next. They really set up an "I love you" like five (5) times. I counted "it was easier than admitting-" "And and I I-" "Of course I-" "I'm sorry it took me till now to say it." "Cass, I- I" If you simply replace "I was wrong" and "I forgive you" With "I love you," then you have a grade A love confession.

But that's what it was. Even the antis have to know that Dean could barely say "I love you" to Sam. Or even his mom. He never said it to his dad. By my count, he has said "I love you" twice in the entire show. And it was to Sam and Mary. If Jensen hadn't taken out that scene from ??x?? (episode #?) Goodbye Stranger, Cass would have been the very first person Dean said it to. But he has so many other ways of saying "I love you" without actually saying it. And he said it all.

This was the big confession, and Dean did say that he loves Cass. The fact that he didn't say the words out loud wasn't SPNWriters denying us our rights, it was a testament to Dean's entire character. So yes, I do count January 16th as the Day We Won.

That rant out of the way. Sam and Eileen's "I don't know what is real anymore" and "That was." conversation was so obvious. Seriously. It could not have been more clear if Kripke himself came through my tv screen and decked me, saying "Look. Sam and the person he loves just had the same conversation as Dean and Cass. Look. It is a parallel. Cass is the Sam to Dean's Eileen."
