Part of acknowledging and celebrating good representation is appreciating those who paved the way for it. The actors and the writers behind it, but also the ones who came before it, and the ones who fought so hard but it just wasn't enough. The characters and the writers that walked so that Tim and Oliver and Buck could run. Those who came before had an impact, they mattered and they are a huge part of the reason we've gotten to where we are now.
Countless queer characters have been censored, sidelined and erased. I can think of countless examples. We're only now turning the tide and taking those stories back, taking ownership of what could've and what should've been.
There was a time before November 5th 2020 and there was a time after it, just like there was a time before April 4th 2024 and a time after it. They did what would've been unthinkable before, and the world will be a better place for it. It's not all about Destiel, because many shows and characters paved the way for them too, but let's acknowledge the impact of November 5th. We may meme that day to hell but God you just had to be there. Broke tumblr multiple times, trended over the US election, brought everyone and their mother out of the Woodwork. It's something I've only seen replicated now with Buck. This is a celebration, but it's also about solidarity and about feeling seen, that's the importance and the strength of representation. The quest for better representation is ongoing, the baton is passed and I can't wait to see how far it goes. The goal of good representation is to leave the world a better place than how one found it.

Shout out to all the couples who had unbelievable chemistry, but the creators were too much of a coward to actually make them canon cause that would be gay.
Steve × Eddie
Loki × Mobius
Jaskier × geralt
Castiel × Dean Winchester
And so on and so on...

Ahh fuck me! I fell for another fictional character is my weekly crisis.
Got worse when I realized that being bisexual is allowed (or should be, live in a deeply homophobic community)
