Dean's nothing about our lives is real speech? When he says "everything we are is because of chuck"? He was speaking privately & directly to Castiel when he said that.
Not to Sam. Not everything I am. Everything we are. Dean was having a full on crisis.
"You asked, 'What about all of this is real?' We are." Dean didn't know how right Cas was.
Like no baybee. It'll take 15 episodes, but god himself will tell you Cas defied him and his plan to love you, actually.
Thinking about falling in love with Castiel after he loses his divinity. After he’s been kicked out of the bunker, he loses his best friends, his family, his home, and the man he loves, all in one fell swoop. He’s lost his power, his defense, and he’s lost in a world that wasn’t his home, and he has no one to rely on. Not only that, but he’s learning how to do things that he’s never needed to do before. Eating, drinking, sleeping, even holding a job, just as a means of survival. He’s learning what it’s like to actively live in a human body; to take care of it and survive in it, instead of just inhabiting a body like we would clothing or an apartment.
Falling in love with his quirks and social oddities. Getting to watch iconic movies with him, and enjoy his reactions as he sees them for the first time. Loving him as he struggles with this new, human identity and holding him through the times it all becomes too much. Getting to watch as his self-worth gradually begins to sprout, as he realizes he is priceless because of who he is, not because of what he can offer others. Listening to him talk about things that confuse or enamor him about being a human being. Listening to him talk about the things that make him feel, and getting to see his eyes shine as he takes on a task that he enjoys. Getting to be the person who loves him when he doesn’t feel like he deserves it, and loving him even when he struggles with loving himself. Becoming that comforting safety, that only someone you love can offer, for him.
Loving Cas as he navigates being human would have heartbreak and hardship, but sticking with him and loving him through it would offer loyalty and love that is hard to fathom. The heartbreak of hearing his story, and the way that he was treated by the people he loves would be one that haunts you, even when he has long since healed and moved forward from it. The sting of that heartbreak would be the very pain that pushes you into Dean’s path as he tries to reach out to Cas again, and it’s the same thing that makes you rail against each hurtful word and cutting expression that he throws Castiel’s way over the course of the years. That haunting pain that Cas bears in his heart is what makes you fight to stay by his side when he inevitably agrees to return to help the Winchesters, and it makes you protective of him, and his heart, angelic or otherwise.
you're gonna hate me for this but sam treated cas so much better and fandom still remembering when sam referred to cas as "it" but totally forgetting about dean throwing cas away TWICE from the bunker really doesn't sit right with me
And they're not the first blog that advertised CANON characters but were loosey goosey about the definition of canon. 🤨
"Word of god" is NOT canon.
Especially if "god" is someone who has thrown their character under the bus numerous times to make money off his braindead sheep.
Ways I think Destiel could have ended because my brain likes to see me suffer.
Castilel telling Dean how he feels (you changed me etc.) and Dean just staring at him for a moment knowing what this means, what it always means, before moving in, kissing Cas like he never kissed anyone before. It's a short broken and messy kiss, but that's all they get, all they ever got. Dean holds on to Cas, aware of what happens next, what always happens. Cas pushing his love away, letting the empty tkae him to safe the men he fell for.
Dean not letting himself being pushed away, grabbing onto Cas like a drowning man would grab a plank. The empty slowly crawling towards Cas, so painfully slow and inevitable. "I can't loose you. Not again" Deans voice is rough and low, the tears he held back being set free. Cas shakes his head, another tear falling down. The last words the angel heard before they both got drowned by darkness were spoken with the softest voice Cas ever heard. "I love you too Cas. Of course I do."
Dean is in heaven. The way he went out wasn't really how he wanted to go, but when does a Winchester ever get what he wants? The hunter looked around, a smile appearing on his now younger face. His baby, his Impala was here too. The brunette walked to his car without a second thought, slowly opening the door. It felt wrong. Whenever he drove his baby there was always someone next to him. His Das, Sammy or- ...or Castiel. Dean sighed. With a heavy heart he gets into the car. Just when he wanted to start the motor, a familiar rustle of feathers was heard next to him. Dean freezes, not daring to look up, this can't be he can't face another fake Castiel he- "Hello Dean" Still frozen in place but now with tears falling freely on his cheeks. Slowly still not daring to look up did the green eyed man raise his head. A hand touches his face cupping it with soft hands and finally Dean looks up. There he was. The love of his life, his Angel his savior his best friend. The soft smile was filled with love and adoration. Deans hoarse voice cut through the silnce. "Dammit Cas... I thought I lost you I- I-", his voice broke away. Cas let go of Deans face pulling him into a warm hug. "I love you too Cas, I love you so so much I'm so sorry I couldn't say it I lost you I couldn't I-". Castiel listened. He whispered into the hunters ear that it's okay and that it wasn't his fault. They didn't break their hug for a long long time.
The empty appears lo ot out of nowhere. The black tentacles giving of a disgusting sound. Castiel pushes Dean away from him, away from the dangerous black goo. Just in time. Only moment later and the door is flying through the room, death rushing in. They stop dead on their way to their victims as they realize what's going on. Without giving death a chance to fight the black goo shoots towards them to grab and take them into the everlasting darkness. Castiel doesn't care about that, not breaking eye contact with the human on the floor. A last tear falls as the angel turnes around, facing the black goo, ready to go. But no tentacles reach out for Castiel. Nothing happens. After a few seconds, a head made of goo appears in the black portal. "You gave me something good Castiel. I may still hate you, but for this pleasure I will grant you freedom." With those words the portal closes. Castiel falls to his knees legs weak from the thought of still being alive. Dean slowly stands up, not sure what he should say. He stays silent. Castiel breathes slow and thankfull before he stands up with a painful grunt. He turns around slowly and looks at Dean with eyes that scream of forgiveness and love. They fall into each other a hug turning into a desperate kiss. They stay like this for a long time.
I was looking through my photos and found these from 2 years ago :’( I literally drew these on my phone on some Picsart like app and I’m actually surprised at how good they look!! I was never ballsy enough to set them as my wallpaper but I still love them <3
Say it with me. A major Castiel plot point remains unresolved.
We like to think that Cas ended up living as a human in heaven with Dean in Dabb's original draft, but Look how surprised Cas is when he can heal later in s15. ... After patching up his relationship with Dean. Interesting.
If Misha & Berens really wanted to absolutely make it unambiguous that Destiel was real. Cas would have said “I’m in love with you.” And Dean’s response wouldn’t have been shock. (Which could also be the Cas suddenly talking about feelings as Death was literally at the door since the love mentioned was easily platonic) Because they would have been together previously. And it definitely wouldn’t be written in as “Dean can’t reciprocate” But they didn’t. They just gave them trash. Badly acted, horribly directed crap. And, as they knew the shippers would, they ate it up like the finest feast. “I love you” has many meanings. Heck, Cas had even said it before. Almost the same speech to all of them, in 12.12.
Exactly! It's nothing new. We already knew how Cas felt about the Winchesters. What I find especially annoying about that speech is 1. The things he said about Dean actually applied better to Sam, and 2. It contributed nothing to the story, and in fact, was antithetical to the larger storyline (and I say that loosely) that Cas was involved in.
Cas and Jack had previously been set up as parallels to Dean and Sam. Cas was told to kill Jack, but refused to in S12. Cas made a deal to give up his own life in order to save Jack in S14. If Berens (and Dabb, by extension) really cared about the story and what happened with Cas, they would have completed Cas' sacrifice story with Jack by his side.
Instead, we got pandering of the highest order towards a group of people who have proven, time and time again, that they have absolutely no understanding of basic storytelling or subtext, but who will headcanon the crap out of the smallest imagined clues, and then proclaim and harass others in their insistence that their headcanon is canon.
