you know i kinda feel bad for misha because i am pretty sure he was ready from day one to play a gay angel in love with a human. but no, he had to go through so many destiel moments that were just homophobic jokes from the writers, but still he played them so earnestly that he somehow managed to make them genuine (with a little help of miss jensen and her jacting choices also), and the writers kept addressing destiel like, when i think about the fan fiction episode, literally no-one asked them to do that?? no destiel fan put a gun against their heads and told them to create plotlines and obvious parallels to pander to us?? and all this mess of the writers baiting the fans for years while also mocking them was fucked up for the fans ofc, but i imagine it affected misha too, for the good reason this man ain't cishet (like idc if he never came out using words, the fact he posted himself in front of a rainbow and a bi flag during pride and wrote 'proud' was quite self-explanatory) and working in an environment where one of the recurring jokes is "haha as if this man and this man-shaped holy creature were in love lol, this is so absurdly funny, some fans are rly crazy imma right"? prolly mentally taxing.
but eventually it looked like destiel moments were brought less a joke and more as a thing that could happen. and ultimately we reach 15x18 and just. imagine being misha, finally being told 'hey cas is actually confessing his feelings!' like you must be so happy?? your character shows his love and this time it's not subtext! the writers stop queerbaiting everyone! progress!! except that then the whole permanent death/never seen again really turned what should have been a great moment of television into the most hollow victory?
so yeah if i were misha i would be kinda sad to have kept playing cas all these years, kept hoping they would write him better and do him justice and then discover that no, the homophobia was stronger, and it tainted everything, even the confession scene and misha is now ambivalent about it instead of just being proud.
It’s complex for sure. I don’t think we will ever really know Misha’s feelings about what happened, and I suspect there was more going on bts than just Cas’ queer coding. But also I would hesitate to lump all the writers together as if they are one hivemind. Like, I don’t think there’s any bad blood between Misha and Bobo (and if there is it’s WAY more likely due to politics than because of the finale lmao)
Anyway, it’s over, and he can focus on stuff that makes him happy now. Or spend his absurd amount of money because he is a rich man and he will be fine 😂 sometimes it’s good to step back from our zoomed-in empathy and realize that even if he had a shitty work environment, he has work he loves, friends and family who love him, and money for therapy if he really needs it that bad lol. He’s doing okay!
