Thank you for gay flint posting. Like sorry that a gay man may have an affair with a woman who is in some ways functionally his boss’s wife for reasons outside romantic/sexual attraction. Sorry that a gay man would have sex with a woman as a way to seek physical/emotional intimacy because there is like no where else to get it because he’s been in a depressive spiral for ten years. Sorry that the showrunners and actors say he’s gay and that Eleanor is bi and that silver has an ambiguous sexuality because they actually put care into understanding and writing their characters on the show that is praised by fans for Understanding and Writing Their Characters. This isn’t supernatural sometimes writers actually know wtf they’re saying when they say things. Anyways.

I had to read that second sentence a few times ghdgjhjfkdg I mean I don't think there was any ulterior motive in flint initially having sex with miranda? or that he was afraid of consequences if he were to reject her? if that's what the implication there is? I really think it's that he has never met anyone before the hamiltons who he connected with on such a deep fundamental level (intellectually, emotionally, etc) and that carriage scene is him thinking "oh maybe THIS is what it's supposed to feel like when you love a woman and want to sleep with her. maybe I solved it." steinberg also said that flint had been with other men but that thomas was the first man he had a proper relationship with, so I do think flint knows at that point that he gets pleasure out of sex with men (he's a career navy man ffs!) even though he sees it as a dirty secret and not something based in any kind of genuine affection. I think that's what he's craving deep down and what he thought he might have found in miranda at first before realizing that it was actually thomas he wanted. but certainly we can all agree that SPN Could Never

#have they EVER commented on silver's sexuality even to call it ambiguous? obvs they've been like ''it was a complicated love blah blah'' #and his sexuality IS ambiguous just from the text itself we don't need them to say so for it to be true #but I can't recall any of the writers ever making a statement on the possibility of silver wanting that specific form of intimacy #luke arnold is another story. mister Arguably Playing A Straight Man over here. #I don't take bs actor commentary as gospel though. it's factored in but it's not definitive #not to be like Word Of God Is Everything but on a show as largely well written as BS I think the writers have earned it yk #to a great extent they have earned it #they knew what they were doing. and everything steinberg and levine talk about is reinforcing what's already in text anyway #this got away from me....... anyway show of all time
