Dean's fear of love - Destiel character analysis (theory/headcanon)

So I've been reading an analysis of gay subtext in Supernatural and one theory in particular stuck out to me. Remember the episode My Bloody Valentine where Famine makes everyone succumb to their cravings. Castiel was constantly indulging on burgers and Sam falls back in to his demon blood addiction. But Dean was unaffected, he couldn't eat or have sex. Like Famine said, Dean's lack of hunger is because he feels empty inside and that he is already dead. Dean then replies and says "I think it's a strength of my character."

Throughout the episode, Dean has been avoiding food and sex and not feeling any kind of hunger when Sam claims valentine's day is his 'holiday'. Well it's far more deeper than that. Love is a special kind of hunger. It leaves the heart racing, knees quaking, a love so intense it leaves you star struck - so overwhelming you can't eat or sleep. Dean's desire to be with Castiel romantically was so intense, he couldn't even think about food, alcohol or even sex. That's why Dean spent so much of the episode uncharacteristically avoiding Cas, not looking at him or longing for him, not standing in his direction and looking for any distractions. Dean was able to fight this feeling more strongly than Sam because he's been fighting with it since the very day he met Cas. His temptation for Castiel is intense and passionate that he can't simply ignore it, instead he chooses to stay silent. He actively suppress his want because he thinks loving men is a sin.

Dean has been repressing his sexuality all his life so when the craving begins, Dean doesn't feel it because he has been suppressing it since before the very moment he met Cas. He knows someone as powerful and old as Castiel is something he wants yet can't have. He thinks that love between an angel and a human is destined to fail because Castiel is getting hunted for it and is at risk of being killed all because he rebelled for one man.

It's only until the confession in 15x18 where Castiel speaks his truth that Dean's walls come down and he realises that after ages of being stuck up his ass, that love was right in front of him. Cas loves him and he gets killed for it. Dean felt empty inside and it was The Empty that took Cas away from him. When Castiel, his light is snuffed out, he feels like his life is no longer worth living anymore. That without his intense longing for Castiel, he is a man waiting to die. You could say he was already dead because he was never going to have Cas the way he wanted. But it turns out losing Castiel is the thing that gets him killed. His love for Cas is secretly his craving and without it, he would die. It's like hunger, eventually he will starve.

Cas died for love, exactly like the victims of Famine. Dean has been trying to deny to himself that he loved Cas for years so by the time it's ready for his fantasy to become real, he is silent because that's all he's ever known.

With the will to look away

When I was fallin' down

Crawlin' in the dirt?

Is it fair enough to say

That I needed you through the crazy pain

Of livin' here with all this hurt and what I feel?

All I touch and how I steal?

The fantasy was far too real

Oh, I let it slip away

Didn't hear the strength within your words

And what they mean

You were watchin' over me

Watching over me by Radio Company

Happy 2024 everyone 🤡

absolutely unreal to hear a warplane flying overhead while seeing people post shit like "if i was p.utin i'd invade ukraine too". i'm so tired good night

#and the l.enin was based memes too. no one fucking cares about our genocide because you acknowledge famines are used as a cover up for #genocide through starvation but with the holodomor it really was a famine this time guys. it's a myth. my family history is just a myth and #my grandma's sisters who almost died fleeing from the starvation were just doing it for fun. the people being shot for daring to steal grai #that was rotting inside the tanks were just doing it because they were mean and the streets weren't filled with corpses that starved #the millions of people dead brought it upon themselves. it's just amyth. i hate imperialism so much except r.ussian imperialism that one is #based (sarcasm) #sorry for being a mean ukrainian good night good night #🕸️

💭 I will always be Yoshida and Fami fans no matter what. This is the feelings I get.

In my opinion, it would be kind of boring if they're just plain evil tbh. We know Fami seems to genuinely want to help her little sister, Yoru, to get stronger for prophecy and to achieve her goal in killing Chainsaw Man (Pochita). And half of us atleast agree that Yoshida is just doing his job to protect Denji. They both do their agendas in their own way, which may seems selfish, but it's for the sakes of our MCs at the end of the days.

We don't know for sure what kind of grander scheme they're in, or what kind of big politics/government agendas behind them for now. But I'm positive that they're just another chess pawns. They could be the strongest devil hunter and horsemen devil in Japan for now, but they're still teenagers, no matter how mature and unsettling they present themselves to be.

Maybe I'm just alone in this ground of beliefs, but it will make more sense one day, trust. Even if they're revealed to be on the bad side, I would still find their relationship with our MCs to be very fascinating in its own way.

Because in the end, it is an act out of love. Love for humanity. Love for foods. Love for your family. Love for your first "friend". And the list goes on.

Their "heart" was in the right place.

And that's what matters to me, the observer, the reader, the movie audience. I don't read CSM part two to expect 24/7 fluffy relationship, anyway.

#yoshida hirofumi #famine devil #chainsaw man #chainsaw man part 2 #more like my ramblings but it will make sense one day trust #also I really love how Yoshida and Fami are designed to oppose yet parallel each other #like Kishibe and Makima #Kishibe is just another mad dog under the *control* of government #and yet the Control Devil herself was also under government supervision #there's so much to think about if you're willing to go way deeper to this governmental capitalism horror thematic #just saying #free to interpret this however you like

God I wish I had something coherent to say about hunger as one of spn’s core themes but unfortunately my brain just loops back around to “Sam should have eaten more weird supernatural things to see if they also gave him powers.” (Like maybe Lucifer’s blood idk idk)

#it really is Such A Thing #like. the bones of it are laid in episode 2. (in a not great way but still) #hunger as monstrosity. hunger as what turns you into a thing to be hunted #with the demon blood. ​hunger as what makes you strong enough to survive. to protect yourself. to protect others. #it’s selfish. it’s selfless. Sam saves people. Sam is damned for it. #they would not have killed that horseman if Sam didn’t starve for blood. he did that. he saved them. #I mean the show likes suffering. it likes when they martyr themselves on their own despair. and starvation is just another nail #I’m a samgirl my bias is clear but this is obviously a big part of Dean too #he’s the one famine can’t effect. he’s the one who grabs food whenever it’s available #(also the cannibalistic lovers in that episode. I’ve never stopped thinking about this. I can’t) #and it’s not just a Kripke era thing. it’s godstiel eating purgatory. it’s the leviathans eating… everything #Cas eating the grace of other angels!!! angel cannibalism!!! fucking!!! I wish I had coherent thoughts about this!!! #losing himself. keeping himself alive. what is he worth unless he can cannibalize his own kind and make them useful to the winchesters #I’ll stop now but like #my point is that this is a show about eating things. and other people. #I love that for them #spn #supernatural #Sam winchester #samifer #lucifer/sam winchester #fuck it it counts

Someone mircoagressed me last week by saying that islam doesn't let women get educated "based on what he's seen." unlike judaism and modern chirstianity, where education is led by women.

Maybe if you stop doing silly little things like decimating every single university in a muslim state that had high rates of female literacy and education ❤️

This guy is an athiest traumatized by church, but somehow it all translated to a hatred of islam over anything.

These people really don't see what huge white supremacists they are. The new norm for white people is to let go of all religion. You aren't unique or special for choosing that. It's your current norm.

And they get so mad when you refuse to drop your personal beliefs and bend to their current mainstream ideology as well. What does that sound liKKKe?

#but you won't catch me dead debating religion with such freaks #these are the same people who are politically active about everything but silent as a mouse about genocide #there's a bengali on tiktok who went to bangladesh to help girls get out of child marriages and into schools instead #she said that almost all of the families were really receptive and wanted the help #like thanks for colonizing us.. taking all our money... pushing famines... funding genocide... trying to push anti islamic extremism onto u #but apparently our beliefs are the reason that 12 yo girls living in poverty can't bootstrap their way to an engineering degree #they won't see the obvious connection between completely destabilizing a country and how that affects women #they just want us to submit fully so they can do even more damage #submitting to white supremacy is not actually going to make our situation better... obviously #if you read about native ameeicans (cherokees)... that's exactly what a lot of them tried to do and it led to their demise

what do you do if the guy you had a weird gay thing with is reunited with his wife and she looks almost exactly like you. you can’t kill yourself btw

(click for better quality)

#posted these guys fooorever ago #recap is that they’re people who died and got brought back to be the 4 horsemen ^_^ #Azrael is death. Mavollo is pestilence. Cassian (guy talking to mavollo) is famine. & Caddell (guy in between mav & cas) is war #Azrael also has a son who was around 2 when he (Azrael) died and when Azrael comes back his son is 17. big time jump. #Azrael isn’t traveling that long he’s just dead in the ground for 13 years #and then after he gets resurrected he travels for 2 years meeting the others #and then he gets to go home #and by ‘go home’ i really mean he gets to pass thru his old town for awhile until he gets another task from the thing that brought him back #still gets to reunite with his wife & son though even if he can’t stay 😔 #my stuff #my art #oc

I know I've been talking about this a lot but it's not only because I've seen dumb posts on Tumblr but cuz I like listening to history podcasts n shit..... it's so so so so fucking wild the way a ton of the left idolizes the USSR. Like. It was not fucking good guys. Even outside of the bullshit anti communist propaganda I promise you the USSR was not actually run well and the people running it sucked ass. I promise that you don't have to go to bat for this shit in defense of communism, the USSR was led by dudes who were temperamental, untrusting, and driven at times by just their whims.

But I mean there's also ppl on the "left: that just outright deny the holodomor so 🙃

#tomi talks #like it's just really frustrating cuz uhh. the ussr was bad like that should not be crazy to say. it was bad!!@ #antisemitism and fucking genocides and a fuckton of pollution and famines even outside of man-made ones like c'mon

honestly i started doing ancestry stuff not expecting to find anything interesting or crazy except The Horrors on my dad’s side of the family but finding out my irish great-great-great grandad and all his brothers and nephews allegedly got arrested and sentenced to 2 months of hard labor because they jumped their sister’s shitty husband for being a deadbeat. during the height of the potato famine…….if i’m being guided by my ancestors i hope it is this group of ancestors specifically.

#said great great grandpa also went to prison again for unknown reasons (probably debts) a second time during the famine #and they sent him to do hard labor in england #all of this is really contextualizing why i think come out ye black and tans fucks so severely #ok i just looked it up and it wasn’t the height of the potato famine but it was 2 years after it ended. sue me.

CHAINSAW MAN CRAZY GOOD a little lost on the red chainsaw devil/black chainsaw devil part BUT OTHER THAN THAT WOOOOO ASA!! and denji wearing chainsaw man merch LOL

asa mitaka nation stays winning !!!! also denji not beating the loser allegations wearing his own merch. neither of them ever beating the loser allegations tbh

#i think the red v black chainsaw devil thing is like. the difference between normal denji chainsaw man #and full chainsaw man that we saw at the end of part 1. the one that makima wanted to draw out and that pochita by himself was #i think the idea is that famine wants (or at least says she wants) to separate denji from pochita (red from black) #and return denji to being completely human and kill pochita #which. erm. a) denji will not let that happen and b) girl pochita is his heart like. erm #(which is why i wonder if this is famis true intention bc can denji and pochita even be separated w/o killing denji like) #i think the red and black MIGHT reference the respective colors of the heads of the different chainsaw man forms? #we can’t really know for sure bc as far as i know we don’t have any officially colored depictions of ‘black’ chainsaw man #but i pulled out my volumes and it seems like the head of ‘black’ chainsaw man might be a slightly darker gray??? but idk it’s hard to tell #i just wonder if denjis chainsaw man head is the red orange that we know #and then full pochita chainsaw man has a black chainsaw head and that’s what they’re referring to #but idk and we probably won’t really know until we maybe get there in the anime adaptation and get colors #but that’s my thought process #could definitely be wrong though idk i guess we’ll see 🤷🏼‍♀️ #chainsaw man #chainsaw man spoilers #chainsaw man manga spoilers #asks

I've asked about the GSA and the Necromancer... But how about LIMOS meeting the GSA?? What would HAPPEN

Limos: oh. *teleports away*

Sir Dragato: ??????

#Limos would dip out before any of them could even REACT LMAO #tracking him down would be near impossible #even if they manage to find him he'd just teleport away again #the GSA knights aren't familiar with Yuu too so theres nothing worth noting #accept maybe Arthur findibg his eyes and locust oddly familiar #but his memory isnt reliable since the Great Halcandran Famine (name still W.I.P) happened when he was really little #quan blovk #kirby nintendo #kirby oc #Limos

The next time I see someone making fun of an Irish accent or the language I am legally allowed to hunt that person for sport /hj

#i made a textpost #Anyway #Seán is really interested in Irish history and culture for obvious reasons #And the more he infodumps to me about it the more this bothers me #Like not only are you making fun of my husband's voice #But. These people were persecuted #Enslaved and demonized and STARVED??? THE FUCKING FAMINE??? (Spoiler #not really just a famine) #They've been treated like shit for their whole people's history #And their language which has plenty of internal rules and logic is mocked for being “English but fucked up” #It's spelled the way it sounds. It's just a different language #And they STILL have to live with the association of being “dumb drunken brutes” that was pushed on them #And everyone's cool with it because??? Why??? #And a lot of fantasy #Hell MOST OF IT in the West #Is very entangled with Celtic folklore #Like y'all gonna steal their culture and aesthetics for your DND campaign #But also make fun of them for how they talk? #Stop it stop it PLEASEEE I will bite you #Lindsay Ellis literally had a part in her video like “cultural appropriation is okay if it's against a historical oppressor” but.. #She had an Irish ring #An IRISH RING #Are we just lumping them in with Britain??? #How did we as a universe forget that Irish people have been oppressed for a really long time #How did we forget the injustices against them #And decide that they're just the stereotypes invented of them #While removing the context of how those got there #LIKE #idk. #This was a ramble but

everyone talks about mariah carey torturing us every christmas, but no one talks about band aid torturing us every christmas. yes, we do know it's christmas time, and so does africa even if you lot don't know that

#personal crap #i think a big part of getting older is going from 'aww that song raised so much money for famine relief!' #to 'yeah that song is kind of really smug and insincere and doesn't sound like it knows shit about africa' #unironically africa by toto is probably a better song about african poverty #and if you want to think about famine relief you could just play radio gaga or drive by the cars #this is how i find out nowhere still plays do they know it's christmas at christmastime except the uk isn't it

[llycaons]

I don't really see the appeal in most contrived fanfic type scenarios but there is a spectrum and some days I do slide a little closer to 'cheesy self-indulgent nonsense' like I read uhh a succubus/incubus one where they had to pretend to be a couple and you know what it was exciting and fraught and sappy and I had a nice time. it's not substantial enough to be something I can read all the time, but it's fun little treat. I did rec it

#maybe I should add to the rec list where a particular work lies #tho most of them aren't like that? I like to think #it's really satisfying when I find one that entirely rejects the mainstream appeal of fanfic and just does something raw and meaningful #the realistic and unflinching ones are great esp bc the romance comes through even better which is what I liked a lot abt canon #will forever be rotating feast or famine in my head I guess #but most of them lie in the middle I feel like #ficblogging

Question: does famine.... like girls?

Signed, a girl who really wants to smooch him.

I think he’s messed around with girls but he’s pretty much just gay

#when I think about him kissing a girl like #I can kinda imagine it maybe if it’s a very specific kind of girl and he’s in a mood #but like really I think he is mostly just with men #I answer #famine
