every time I remember that the hit show supernatural made God, the literal God from the Bible, canonically bisexual but couldn’t do the same with a random guy who hunts monsters it actually makes me feel physically ill.. like blasphemy is okay but we draw the line at making the main character a little bit queer because it would “upset the heterosexuals men”? okay ig… and it’s so funny to me that they tried SO bad to make dean like really really straight and macho and a manly womanizer (I mean dude has literal porn brain and is obsessed with cars and is a film nerd) And still is the number 1 bissexual boy.. I mean no one that into cowboys is 100% straight 🙄 and if they actually wanted him to be that much of a cishet guy WHY would they make him have a codependent homosexual friendship with his best friend for more than a decade ?? and we have so much subtext to corroborates it that it’s actually insane.

and it’s also rlly funny to me that sam would be the most obvious choice for a queer storyline. like i’m not sure this is true but i heard somewhere that he actually was supposed to like be lgbt and that it’s implied in the show he’s pan bc he basically have sex w/ everyone and doesn’t care (like monsters and stuff). i wholeheartedly disagree bc sure he hited a demon and a werewolf and a kitsune and God knows what more But it still were just women and for me he’s still just straight 💀 we do have gabriel however and i would say that’s a valid argument but i don’t actually like them together because of the whole torturing-sam-every-tuesday-over-and-over-again but it’s still a good take ig. again this is just my opinion But anyways doesn’t matter my point Is that sam always felt like a freak and wanted to be normal and like was more open minded and “less-macho-toxic-behavior” than dean. he was a theater kid and talked about his feelings and all. STILL THO dean went and become The bissexual icon (Not Sam, Dean!!). and the fact that he was more manly actually only emphasized to his sexuality (and him being closeted) and sam being the straight one, and bare with me here. as sam winchester once wisely said “well you are kind of butch they probably think you're compinsating.” (to dean asking why people always assumed they were gay) and like this is so true, sam always felt comfortable in himself and like his nerdier and less cool strong man personality. But dean, oh, dean, no, no, no. and it could all be linked to john. we know how much dean wanted to gain his father approval and respect, all he ever wanted was for john to be proud of him. so he’d listen to the same music as john, same clothes… and so on. but when we really see a glance of him, we realize he’s actually much more “““girly””” (sorry for the term i lacked a better one) than he shows, Especially when compared to sam—who’s supposed to be the more girly one (again sorry for the term lol) or whatever. dean canonically likes taylor swift, chick flick films, actually liked when a woman made him wear underwear, the bailarinas shoe were “speaking to him” in that one ep of cursed objects, and so on. and every time he makes fun of sam for doing something not-manly-enough (like drinking lemon water or drinking from tiny coups) he eventually goes and do the same thing 😭 and i’m 100% sure that the writers just thought “haha funny scene this really straight deadly man does something not so convencional/more feminine(?) haha comedy relief time!!” but it actually just made him have a whole perfect queer background developed in the series. specially with the fact that He Does Overcompensate. why is he always flirting with women, why is he so butch and scary, always talking about straight sex and so on? because he’s really just deep in the closet. and it makes so much sense with john being his father, with him having to hunt two lesbians nuns in his 17 bday, always having to be strong and macho and cool and perfect—and therefore straight. even without cas, dean really does immaculate the bissexual experience and i’m so sorry but this is just true.

and now pointing to the subtext that i mentioned in the first paragraph (lol i can’t believe i’m making a whole rant as to why dean winchester is a confirmed bisexual), that whole confession to that priest where he says he wants experience new feelings, new people, FOR THE FIRST TIME. that always that the show mentioned a gay couple it ALWAYS focused on dean—not sam, DEAN. the gay hunters, the gay couple on the bar that the cupid “made”, the two cosplayers partners… the fact that every time that dean liked something it was borderline fangirl (gay) obsessive (the dr. sexy episode, that wrestler fighter). he Had a gay thing—and was all flustered about it. he flirted with a guy throughout charlie. THE MALE SIREN. the male siren like after that ep i was 100% convinced that man was not straight. he had a hot demon sumer with crowley?!!! and it’s so funny to me that not one of these things involves castiel, so if they really wanted to make dean be that straight why would they do that?? and only to dean, not even once to sam. Like. and not to mention all the homoeretic tension with benny??? sam never had a male best friend like that.. all of that and i didn’t even entered on destiel. Because this then really just confirms that he is Not straight. even if he wasn’t In Love with cas, they had something going on and the fact that if cas was a girl it would 100% be canon and filmed and Everyone would ship—and I really mean everyone—it just makes me go fucking insane. they could’ve had it all. the fanfic episodes, the parallels between dean and cas and “real couples”, ruby and cas duality and the fact that sam indeed had a relationship w/ her. Anyway i’m a # bi dean truth believer and i know this bc same boy # happy pride month to my fav bissexual boy in the whole world

also to anyone that says that “destiel” was unrequited love yes it kinda of was but only bc dean was so deep in the closet, he did love cas. he was indeed a bissexual man. i’ll die on that hill.

Yes. Russell Faber. He makes his debut in series 23 (the last series of Holby), specifically S23E28. You'd think that means it was a "fuck it, Holby's cancelled, what have we got to lose, let's finally bring Henrik out the closet" decision, but weirdly, it wasn't - it's been confirmed the episodes were being written before that.

Don't get your hopes up though. The Henruss (as I myself named them) storyline admittedly started off strong, but devolved into utter nonsense. You'd think the drama of the storyline would come from Henrik's internalised homophobia, and how he struggled to trust another man romantically after the sort of person John turned out to be, right?

Well... it didn't. John was literally mentioned ONCE, at the very very start of the storyline, before it was even confirmed that Russ was gay, let alone the mainstream audience realising he was a love interest for Henrik. They then alluded to John and his storyline on several more occasions, making it seem like he was going to be mentioned again... only to suddenly forget all that stuff in favour of getting drama from... Russ's 16-year-old daughter being secretly pregnant?????

Henrik was never allowed to come to terms with being bisexual, either, because Holby did the same nonsense they always did with bi characters - "uwu, labels are bad!". Interesting, they were fine with having Dom call himself gay at least once an episode... almost like labels aren't the problem, this show was just biphobic and had double standards for bi characters compared to other queer characters. And just like they never let him call himself bisexual, the show never let Henrik address his internalised homophobia, either, instead "solving" Henrik's decades of self-hatred by... one little cliched conversation with Serena.

Also, Henrik and Russ were never allowed to kiss. They never had any stronger physical contact than hand-holding. I should say, this isn't because it was a same-gender relationship. Henrik was never allowed to kiss anyone on screen, not even women. If anything it's probably because he's autistic, and the writers couldn't imagine someone so "logical" seeking out physical intimacy. 🙄

Anyway, all of this - specifically the lack of mention of John - literally enabled viewers to go around spouting absolute nonsense about Henrik's sexuality. The general response to Henruss was "aww, isn't it cute, Henrik's discovering he likes men :)" at best (come the fuck on, he's known that since MED SCHOOL at the very least), and at worst, "waaah, why have they turned Hanssen gay?!?! There were never any hints before!!". (Well, the worst comments were far worse than that, but you know, I don't want to turn this into a compilation of the horrifically homophobic things people said about Henruss.)

As you can imagine, as someone who found Johnrik to be very very important to me (two neurodivergent queer characters like me!! badly written as John in particular was, that's still representation I had never seen before, because all the other queer characters I'd seen in media - even the neurodivergent ones - are always really sociable and expressive and good at emotions and stuff, whereas Henrik and John weren't), all of this was very infuriating.

Re: Johnrik: they're canon by Henrik standards, i.e. almost all of his romantic storylines were subtext anyway. His interest in Sahira Shah back in series 13/14 was no more explicitly stated than his interest in John ever was. Unfortunately most Holby fans simply hold a double standard where they'll accept Henrik's implied interest in Sahira as canon*, but not his interest in John. (Writers and actors have also confirmed Johnrik several times over. One lovely quote from Guy Henry in 2018, when asked in a WhatToWatch interview about why Henrik wouldn't accept John was doing anything wrong: "Hanssen doesn't want to think ill of Gaskell, a man he's known, admired and loved for so many years. He's blinded by his affection for Gaskell and refuses to believe he's not to be trusted." I'd link the interview, but... spoilers.)

(* - Or they did, until the show retconned the storyline to villainise Sahira, a woman of colour, and let Henrik off scot-free for pretty much harassing her. The fandom just went along with that because pretending Henrik just saw Sahira as a friend made it even easier for them to overlook his harassment of her and pretend Henrik is a good person, which he's not. But that's a story for another post.)

I can't blame you for not picking up on that line! I think it takes a couple of rewatches to notice stuff like that, because on the first watch one is too busy being blown away by the BLATANTLY QUEER stuff like "I won't let you go" or the shirtless drinking.

And you're welcome for the tweets! They're great.
