Summary: All you wanted was a place to call home with Dean. You envisioned a home in the mountains with spectacular views, a wrap-around porch with a swing and somewhere you could build a life. (I guess this could be classified as AU, as this takes place after Season 15 and [SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED SPN] Dean is still alive, clearly, in this story lol)
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Female Reader
Word Count: ~2.1k
Warnings: Slight language, lots of fluff!
A/N: This was meant to be Day 7 of the #flufftober (@flufftober) challenge - thanks to the flu taking over my household for the last week, I've fallen off the posting wagon a bit. The prompt was: Porch Swing. I hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
There was an overwhelming chill to the bunker—more so than usual. A shudder fell over you as your sock covered toes padded towards the kitchen, the coolness cut through the wool. A frown pulled across your face in discomfort as you pulled your arms around your chest in hopes that you might find some warmth. 
“Mornin’, sweetheart,” his voice was extra raspy in the grogginess of the morning as you turned the corner into the kitchen. He took a pull from the steaming mug of coffee in his hand. 
“Ugh, Dean,” you grumbled as you searched for your own coffee mug. 
“Somebody’s chipper this morning,” he teased as his eyes moved over you. “You wake up on the wrong side of the bed?” You rolled your eyes at him. 
“Yeah, the cold side,” as if on cue, your body shivered. Dean stood with a soft smile and made his way over to you in his gray t-shirt, black sweatpants and fluffy slippers. “See! It’s an icebox in here. You’re cold, too!” You pointed to his slippers, feeling validated as your body involuntarily shuddered once more. 
“Oh, please,” he cocked his head at you in a teasing manner. “Baby, I’m a freakin’ furnace.” He planted a soft kiss on your lips and wrapped you in his arms until you were firmly against his chest. His arms rubbed up and down your back, and you had to admit you did feel a little bit of warmth take over the cold. 
“Dean, this bunker is a dungeon,” your voice was hidden in the crook of his neck. 
“I know, I know,” he appeased, as this wasn’t the first time he had heard you complain about your living situation. 
“Sam and Eileen settled down in a house. I know it’s a sticky subject…” you pulled back just so you could see his face, your arms still wrapped around his lower back. 
He studied you for a moment before he spoke again. “I know, I hear you,” he sighed. “We won’t be in the bunker forever, I promise.”
You tried so hard not to roll your eyes, so you closed them instead. Take a breath, you told yourself; it’s not worth the fight. “I just…I just don’t understand why we can’t find a cute little cabin tucked away somewhere. A wrap-around porch, a swing that overlooks the mountains…I could make us sweet tea in the summer and apple cider in the fall.” 
“We will, baby. I promise,” he emphasized the last word. He moved his head down to drop another quick kiss on your lips. “How ‘bout you go get ready and we take a drive, hmm?” He proposed with a quick smack on your ass. 
“Dean,” you groaned, but you obliged as he pulled away from your embrace. 
“I’ll make it worth your while,” he winked as he reached for his mug and took another sip. “I promise.” 
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” you muttered. The chill of the bunker returned without his contact, much to your disappointment. “You’ve been making a lot of promises, Dean Winchester.”
“All of which I fully intend to keep, if you just hurry the hell up,” you tried to escape him as he poked at your side. You shuffled down the hall of the bunker, cursing every step as you tried to find warmth. 
Tumblr media
It wasn’t much warmer outside the bunker on this October morning, but the sunshine brought a much needed warmth as you sat in the passenger seat of the Impala. 
“You wanna tell me where we’re going?” You glanced at the man in the driver’s seat. The rising sun set him in a yellowish-orange glow that made your heart swell. A small grin tugged at the corners of his lips as he glanced between you and the open Kansas road. 
“Not yet, sweetheart,” he chuckled. “It’s gonna be a little bit of a drive.” You chewed at the inside of your lip in thought. 
“Hmm,” you hummed. “Can you tell me how long of a drive?” Surprises weren’t your thing, and Dean knew that. 
He couldn’t help the laugh that rumbled in his chest as he shook his head but reached down in the car door for his phone. After a quick glance, and with the utmost certainty you couldn’t see his screen, he slid it back in the door. “About six and a half hours, give or take,” he glanced back at you with a smirk when he noticed the way your thoughts overtook the features across your face. 
“Six and a half hours?! Dean! Where the heck are we going?” Your voice had risen as you turned to stare at the man you had to remind yourself you loved in that moment. “I didn’t pack anything! I can’t imagine you’re gonna drive us there and back in one day…” your voice trailed off as you contemplated once more how much you hated surprises. 
“Alright, take a breath,” Dean grumbled but reached across the bench seat and placed a calming hand on your knee. You found his gaze once more. “I’ve got it covered, alright? You trust me?”
You did as he said and took a breath before you nodded. “I trust you.”
He nodded as well. “Good, now sit back and relax.” He reached for your hand and brought it to his lips lovingly, his stubble tickled your skin. 
You waited a moment, before you continued. “Can I ask you something? Since we have six and a half hours, and all…” you gave him a look.
He chuckled but nodded. “Shoot,” he encouraged.
“Why the bunker?” The question was simple, but you weren’t sure if you had asked it the right way. It was a thought that had played over and over in your brain as time had gone on. You had moved into the bunker, at Dean’s request, almost three years ago now. Sam had left almost a year ago to move into a home with Eileen. They were planning their wedding, and living a mostly normal life.
“Why do we live in the bunker?” He asked as he glanced at you for confirmation. You nodded, and he took a moment (or three) to contemplate the answer. He kept his eyes on the road as he continued. You were ready for him to give some sarcastic response or change the subject entirely, but to your surprise, he didn’t. “As long as I can remember, we’ve been on the road. After the fire…after mom–we were on the move.” You knew all of this already, but you didn’t interrupt him because it felt important. “I never really told anyone this, well–except Sam–but I always wanted a place to call home, you know? My own room, my own space, my own bed,” he cleared his throat, but continued. “When we found the bunker, it became that for me. I know it’s cold, and dark, and not exactly homey. But it became home.” He finally glanced to look at you. You stayed silent for a minute, but when he didn’t continue, you reached for his hand again.
“Dean, I’m sorry,” you murmured. “I’ve been a jerk about the bunker. I know it’s home to you, and I’m sorry. I’m not trying to force you into something you don’t wanna do,” your gaze fell a bit.
“No, no,” he gave your hand a squeeze. “I do want to settle down. I want us to have our own place that isn’t damp and musty, and preferably doesn’t have concrete floors.” He gave you a small smile. “I just wanted to explain why it’s been hard for me to let go.”
“I get that,” you replied softly. “I support you a hundred percent. I won’t ask about it again, promise…Scout’s honor,” you held up three fingers with a smirk–the Girl Scout’s sign.
He chuckled and shook his head, but brought your hand back up to his lips. “I love you.”
“I know,” you smiled. You leaned towards him and planted a kiss against his stubble-covered cheek.
Tumblr media
It was late afternoon by the time you were climbing the rolling hills of Missouri. Based on the time and how long you had been driving, you were officially intrigued. You turned to Dean with an inquisitive look, “The Ozarks?” You asked him.
A smile pulled at his lips but he kept his eyes on the road. “The Ozarks,” he repeated simply.
“Are we…are we staying in the Ozarks? Is this a vacation?” Hope bubbled in your chest. Dean wasn’t really the vacationing type. A vacation to Dean was going to Vegas, which you loved, but it was loud and dirty and exhausting–the complete opposite of what you’d call a relaxing getaway.
“Not exactly,” he responded simply. Huh. That didn’t give you much to go on. But you tried not to focus on your curiosity. This was important to Dean, whatever it was exactly. So instead, you tried to be calm, cool and collected.
The Impala took a few more turns before it pulled onto, what looked like, a private drive on the side of a hill. The old dirt road looked like it hadn’t been traveled in a while. Your eyes watched out the window at all of the incredibly tall trees and nature–it was so quiet and peaceful. The car slowed and you looked back out the windshield to spot a small log cabin tucked in the woods. It was absolutely beautiful and quaint. You silently prayed this wasn’t some job Dean had stumbled upon and decided to pick up, or that you weren’t visiting some long lost friend of his. The idea of spending a night in this quaint cabin with the man you loved sent the best kind of shivers up your spine (not the cold, musty bunker kind).
“Dean…” you breathed just as he slid the car into park. He was turned to you, a smile etched across his features.
“Let’s check it out,” he didn’t hesitate to open his car door, so you did the same. The air was cool up here, but it was a chill you didn’t mind. It was so fresh and almost freeing. There was a silence only interrupted by birds chirping and crickets starting to come out in the early evening hour. 
Dean came to your side and extended his hand for you to take. You followed his lead as he walked towards the steps that led up to the wrap-around porch. As you reached the top, you noticed a porch swing that looked hand crafted in the most beautiful way. You ran your hand over the smooth wood and felt your heart flutter. 
“Where are we?” You looked back at Dean—your heart hoped for a specific answer, but your brain reminded you to remain cautiously optimistic. Dean knew you hated surprises, and this would be a big one. 
“The Ozarks,” he smiled a cheesy grin, which made you roll your eyes yet again. He chuckled as he took a seat on the swing, and you followed suit next to him. When you did, you realized this swing faced the most amazing view of the rolling hills; you had never seen anything like it. It felt like you were in a postcard. 
“I’ve gathered that,” you muttered. “What is this place?”
“Well, I’ve uh, I’ve been looking,” he spoke slowly at first as you continued to admire the view. When you turned to look at him, you realized he was just watching you. “And I felt like this place checked all your boxes…”
You felt like your heart was in your throat. The familiar feeling of hopeful tears stung at your eyes, and you wanted to kick yourself for feeling emotional. “Dean, are you saying…” you couldn’t find the words and you were worried if you kept talking, your voice might crack. 
“If you love it, this could be home,” he spoke softly and his eyes watched you carefully. 
“Yes!” You couldn’t help the enthusiasm as you practically threw yourself at him, your arms tangled around his neck and the swing shifted with your weight on his lap. “God, yes!”
His laughter rumbled against your chest as you pressed against him. “You haven’t even seen inside yet,” he chuckled. You pulled back and pulled his face to yours for a kiss. Your thumbs smoothed against his stubble as your eyes danced between his. 
“It’s perfect, Dean,” you whispered as you brought your lips to his once more. “Do you love it? I’m sorry, I got so excited and I wanna make sure you love it, I don’t want you to do this just because of me…”
“I love it,” he cut off your rambling. 
“I don’t want you to feel pressured. I know you have a soft spot for the bunker and that it’s your home,” your fingers instinctively found the hair at the nape of his neck where you played and twirled with the short strands there. 
“Home,” he started as he brought his hand up to tuck a fallen strand of hair behind your ear. His gaze found your eyes again before his hand gently cupped your cheek as he continued, “is wherever you are.”

I just finished Gimme Shelter in my re watch of spn (I never finished season 15 the first time around, stopped around Last Call so this was my first watch of the episode) and that was such a banger episode just like 10/10 for me. Last Holiday was fun too.

When It All Falls Apart -Chapter 4
Tumblr media
Pairing- Jensen x Padalecki Reader
Word count- 2,648
Warnings-Pregnancy talk (Will last a good chunk of the story) But it's not the reader. Some language. Implied smut. Jensen isn't the best boyfriend. I warned before this started posting it would contain angst, if you need another reminder, here it is. If I missed something let me know!
A/N-A little off canon, SPN ended after 10 years. We still got all the characters in during that time though. Thank you to @writercole and @leigh70 for your help with this. You two are amazing!!
Summary-Y/N Padalecki loved acting on Supernatural.  Working alongside your older brother and your boyfriend, but after ten seasons the guys have chosen to hang up the guns.  Now the three of you are moving on to other projects, but that’s all that needs to change right?  While you have moved to Austin to be closer to your family and boyfriend, Jensen is working elsewhere.  Distance is only the start of your troubles.
Series Masterlist
“You’re back, you’re back, you’re back!!” A small voice screams while climbing on your bed way to early Monday morning.
“I am, and I was sleeping Tom.”
“Wanna come play with me?”
Rolling over you squint at the clock, and almost swear out loud when you see it says 5:15. “Thomas, I love you, but no. I will play with you later, Aunt Y/N had a long weekend and would like a little more sleep.  Why are you even up so early?”
“Scary noises in mommy and daddy’s room.  I called mommy but she didn’t come, do you think they got hurt.?
“No, but they’re going to,” you mutter to yourself.  To your nephew, “how about you lay with me for a bit and I’ll play with you later, after breakfast, okay?”
He huffs out his agreement, and the two of you manage to drift back off to sleep.  Two hours later you are following the little guy down to the kitchen.  No one else is up yet, so you help Tom get his breakfast and pour yourself a glass of juice before sitting down next to him. 
A perky Gen soon makes an appearance.  “Hey, how are you two doing this morning?”
“Aunt Y/N got me breakfast,” Tom answers.
“Oh she did, that was nice of her.”  She turns to you, “thanks for helping him.  I’m surprised he’s up so early, he was trying his best to stay awake until you and Jared got home last night.
“Scary noises woke him up, he came into my room a little after 5.”
“What scared him?”
“From what he said it was you and my brother doing something I don’t even want to think about.  But Tom just thinks someone was getting hurt.”
Her jaw drops at your words, “Oh, snap.  We didn’t mean to wake him up, it's just these dang pregnancy hormones have me all…”
Tumblr media
“Nope, nope, nope, there are some things that go on with you and my brother, I don’t need to know about.  At least someone is getting some.”
“What don’t you need to know about your brother,” Jared asks, walking into the kitchen.
“Apparently, we got a little loud this morning and woke Tom.  He in turn went and woke up Y/N.”  She then turns to you, “what did you mean about that last part?  Didn’t you just see Jay?”
“Yeah, but we had separate rooms.  Wasn’t exactly the weekend I was hoping for, but he said he’ll be here this weekend.  So, I’ll be clearing out of your house for the weekend.”
“What are your birthday plans for Saturday?” Gen wonders.
“I don’t know, Jensen didn’t say.  I’ll try and get it out of him later this week.  I’m good with a day hanging out at the house, I don’t need anything special.”
You grab a muffin from the counter as you are leaving the kitchen.  Walking into the living room, you listen for Tom, trying to figure out where he ran off too.  You hear giggling behind the couch and decide to sit down there.
“I came to see if Tom wanted to play, but I guess he isn’t here.”  Next thing you know he is running around from behind the back.  
“I’m right here!”
You spend some time with him before taking a trip to the grocery store for Gen.  Back at the house you spend a little time out by the pool before helping her with dinner.
The three of you are sitting on the patio after eating watching Tom play in the yard, when Jared turns to look at you.
“So what do you think of Ackles’ news?  I think it’s about damn time, I’ve been telling him he should do that for years.”
You turn to your brother in confusion, trying to figure out what he means.  Nothing comes to mind.  “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“The album.”
“What album?”
It’s Jared's turn to stare.  “Are you just pretending not to know?  You don’t have to, he told us about it at dinner Saturday night.  Dude seems pretty excited about it.”
“Jared, again, what album?”
“You really don’t know?” he asks.
“That’s been established, babe.  Let’s move on to the explanation,” Gen cuts in.
“Ackles is making an album with his buddy Steve Carlson.  They’ve been working out the details and writing over skype calls.  You seriously didn’t know?”
“No, he never said a word.”  Great, you think, one more thing to keep him busy.
“Maybe I wasn’t supposed to tell you, make sure you act surprised alright?”
“Sure.”
The conversation dies down, and you spend a few more minutes watching Tom before you excuse yourself to head to your room.  You don’t even try to reach out to Jensen tonight, what Jared has told you shows you are just moving further down the list of his priorities.
Thursday comes around, and you hadn’t heard from Jensen since you’ve been back.  You have texted him, two you saw were read, another one still hasn’t been.  That evening you give him a call, trying to figure out your weekend plans.
“Hey honey, how’s it going?” you ask when he finally picks up the phone.
“Fine, I’m just walking into my place.  It’s been a long week, the scenes we’re filming this week are something else.”  He goes on to tell you a little more, without giving many spoilers away.  “So what’s up?” he finally turns the conversation back over to you.
“I had a few questions for you.  First one, what time are you flying in?  I’ll come pick you up.”
“You don’t have to drive all the way over there.  I’ve already got it covered.”
“The airport is just half an hour away.”
“I’m not flying into Austin, I’m going to Dallas.”
“Oh.  Stopping to see your parents before coming home?”
“I’m staying in Dallas this weekend.  Mack and Josh want to have a family get together on Sunday, they have been hounding me about coming home this weekend.   I’ve got some meetings on Saturday, and I’m flying back here Sunday night.”
“Oh.”
“Jared said your parents were coming back to Austin Saturday night, so I figured you’d be busy all weekend.”
“Yeah, right.”
“Did you have another question?”
“Nope, not anymore.”
“Okay, I’m filthy and beat, so I’m going to go hop in the shower.  Have a good night.  Love you.”
“Yeah, love you too, Jay.”
That phone call definitely dampened your spirits.  Maybe he was still going to surprise you Saturday, and he didn’t really have any meetings.
Gen takes you out for a mani/pedi on Friday, then out to lunch.  While you are sitting in a quiet corner booth she starts talking about your plans for the next day.
“Any idea what you and Jay are doing tomorrow?”
“No, he said he wasn’t coming to Austin.  He has meetings in Dallas and then is spending time with his parents.  I think he’s just trying to surprise me.”
“I’m sure.  After all the craziness I bet he just wants to do something special for you.”
You smile and nod, hoping she is right, but something in your gut has you wondering.
“Well, we’ll be home all day hanging by the pool if the two of you want to join us.  His pool isn’t open yet, right?”
“No, since he wasn’t going to be around and I was busy and mostly spending time at your place.”
“I didn’t think so.  We can order from your favorite Italian place for dinner.”
“Thanks, I’ll see what tomorrow brings and what he is thinking.”
Your food comes and you discuss some of the plans for Father’s Day on Sunday. 
Saturday morning hits you like an almost four year old tornado.  You are sleeping soundly when your door bursts open and Tom is throwing himself on your bed.
“Happy Birthday, Aunt Y/N!!  Happy Birthday!”
“Thanks, Tom,” you groan, rolling over.
“Thomas Padalecki, didn’t I tell you not to wake her up?” Gen scolds her son from the doorway.
“I’m sorry Y/N, but happy birthday since you’re awake now,” she says, turning to you.
“Thanks Gen, it’s alright I should get moving anyway.”
“Daddy said he’d make breakfast this morning.”
“Is he even awake yet?” you question looking at the clock, surprised when it actually says 7:48.  Tom wasn’t as early as he could be some mornings.
“He’s in the kitchen with his grown up drink.”
You look over at Gen, too sleepy to understand why your brother is drinking this early.
“He’s downstairs with his coffee.”
“That makes more sense then I was thinking.”  Tom rolls off of you so you can crawl out of bed. Throwing a sweatshirt over your pajama top you follow your family downstairs.
“Morning birthday girl,” Jared greets you with a smile.
“Morning, I hear you are cooking breakfast,” you reply, sitting down on a kitchen stool next to Tom.
“I made your favorite, blueberry pancakes and a cup of hot chocolate.  Gen says you need to go all out for birthdays, so she cooked some orange cinnamon rolls.”
“Wow, thanks guys.”
Tom hops down and runs off all of a sudden, you look to the other two in the kitchen, both of them shrugging.  Then you hear his little feet running back.  “I made you a card,” he yells out, as he waves it in front of you.
“You did, thanks buddy.”  
You enjoy a nice breakfast, before going up to shower and get yourself ready for the day.  Throwing on shorts and a tank top, you throw a few makeup things in a bag you might need if you have to dress up later to go out.  After saying your goodbyes you leave for Jensen’s.  Gen is sure to remind you of her offer again.
You pick up a few things around the house, water the plants and go through a few of your things.  Your phone has gone off multiple times with text messages from friends, your parents have called, but no Jensen.  Changing into your bathing suit you go out back to lay in the sun until you hear something.
Your phone rings as you are walking into the house for a cold glass of water, “Hi Donna, how are you?” you greet Jensen’s mom on the other end of the line.
“Happy Birthday, sweetie.  I’m fine, how is your day going?”
“It’s good.  I’m just hanging out at Jensen’s house right now.”
“Are you doing anything special today?”
“I don’t know.  Jensen just told me that he had meetings today, I think he’s hiding his plans.”
“He left this morning, but didn’t tell us what his plans were.  I hope you have a wonderful day. Alan wants to talk to you, I’ll talk to you later.  Love you sweetie, happy birthday again.”
“Thank you Donna!  I’ll talk to you soon, enjoy your weekend.”
Alan gets on the phone next to wish you a happy birthday, you talk to him for a few minutes before wishing him an early happy Father’s Day and saying your goodbyes.
A short time later another call comes through, “Hey,” you answer.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N!!!” is yelled from the other end of the line.
“Thanks Mack, how are you?”
“I’m good.  Wasn’t sure if you were going to answer, or if you were busy with my brother.  I’m glad I caught you.  How are you doing?”
“I’m okay.  I haven’t seen your brother yet, I’m just hanging out at the house right now.  How is that new husband of yours?”
“He’s good.’
 “Any big summer plans?”
“Not really.  We need to get together soon.  When do you wrap that mini series you’re doing?”
“We finished last week, I’m out of work until Walker starts.”
“Okay, we definitely need to figure something out then.  I won’t keep you.  Have a fabulous birthday, talk soon.  Bye girl.”
“Thanks.  Bye Mack, take care.”
You get off the phone with a smile. You and Mackenzie weren’t too far apart in age, and had always gotten along very well.   
As you are walking back outside, another text comes in.  Looking down, you are quickly disappointed to see it isn’t Jensen.  As long as you have been together, if he isn’t with you in the morning he has always been the first phone call you would receive in the morning. 
Another hour passes and it’s almost 2 o’clock now.  Gen’s name comes across your screen as your phone lights up again.
“Hey, just to see if you know your plans for the night yet.”
“I don't know. He's not here, and I haven’t talked to him today.”  You refuse to call him at this point.
“You haven’t heard anything?  Y/N, come back here and hang out with us.  He can find you when he comes to town, but I don’t want you to be alone.”
“Alright.” 
Grabbing your things, you lock the house back up and make the short drive back to your brother's place.  Jared and Tom are out in the pool when you arrive and Gen is waiting for you in the house.  She gives you a big hug when you walk in.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah, peachy.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“No, there is nothing to discuss.  I’m beginning to think he really did have some meetings today.  I’m not going to call and force him to talk to me.  Besides, if he doesn’t answer, it’s just going to frustrate me more.
You spend the afternoon with them, your parents arrive early in the evening.  Somehow you miss Jared sneaking out to get you a cake and your favorite ice cream.  Dinner is ordered from your favorite Italian restaurant.  You open your present from your parents.  Once Tom goes to bed the adults gather in the living room to watch a movie.
Gen catches you when you are walking out of the living room.  “This is from Jared and I. We got it a few days ago, but I wasn’t sure you would want to open it in front of your parents.”
 Taking the envelope from her, you carefully tear it open.  You laugh when you open it.  Disney princesses are around the number 5 on the front.
Tumblr media
“Your brother picked out the card.  I made him put the ones about unicorn farts back.”
That has you snorting, “Sounds like Jared.”
You open the card and a plane ticket falls out, you look up at Gen.
“Jared called Eric last week to see when Jensen might have a lighter filming schedule.  He gave him those dates, it’s next weekend.  We weren’t sure how long you would want to stay, so it’s just four days right now, but you can change your return flight.  I really hope this helps you two straighten everything out.”
“Thank you.  I really hope so too.”
When you are getting ready for bed, your phone dings again.  Checking the notification you see Jared has tagged you in an Instagram post.  It’s a birthday message from him and Gen with some pictures from the day.  You scroll down the home feed and see Jensen also has a new post from today.  It’s not the usual birthday shout out he has done in the past, but a picture of him along with his friend Steve.  The caption underneath says `Good time catching up with an old friend, making big plans.’
Tumblr media
That must be a nod to the record Jared had mentioned.  Closing your phone, you lay down and try to fall asleep.  It’s a bit of a struggle. Your mind is racing with many thoughts tonight.  After the last few months, should you really be surprised how today played out?  How is your trip up to Toronto going to go?  Will it help fix your relationship, or be the end?
Thank you for reading!

listen y’all i wanna be optimistic i really do but this show has. the WORST track record. i just can’t believe that anything is ACTUALLY going to happen with Jemily. For so many reasons. I think Will is still going to be there but just not shown on screen anymore, and i don’t think emily or jj will be confirmed as queer.
i’m so sorry but as a spn survivor this just feels exactly the same to me. it reminds me of s14 or 15 of spn when misha collins was like “CAS AND DEAN ARE GONNA HAVE A HUGE TURNING POINT IN THIS EPISODE!!!” and then said “huge turning point” was the two of them having a 30 second conversation while staring at each other like they always do.
it just screams queerbait. i’m not saying aj is acting maliciously or anything like that, but i do think she could be talking without thinking about the implications of what she’s saying in order to try to get people excited for the next season, especially given how last season was received by the majority of the fanbase. we also know that both she and padget ship jemily to some extent, and that combined with her word choice (calling it a “moment” instead of anything more substantial) makes me think that this is a scene she personally is interpreting in a queer/romantic context, not something that the writers are intentionally doing.

Jensen really let his inflated popularity in social media get to his head. AAs are extremely loud with their stock accounts. To me Jensen 7 years ago and this Jensen is two completely different person and he grown to be a worst day by day. How unfortunate is that. He really thinks he is some kind of superstar and SPN fandom are all AAs but he got a rude wakeup call with TW. 
It's interest that Jared had 9/15 years of SPN seasons with Same centric plot (Jensen's own word) and season 11 was pretty equal for the brothers and he never let that get to his head. Jared never though he was the "star" of the show despite being #1 on the call sheet. The last four seasons were a mess and the writers were too busy being heller/AA's friends and fan servicing them than writing a quality story. 
Jared is younger than Jensen and should've been the less matured one but he is the most level headed of the two. He actually negotiated for Jensen so they both get equal pay. It's astounding seeing someone's fall so far and transforming the worst they could be. Even GA starting to notice his cultish fan following. I hope he realize before it's too late and become even 1/1000 the person Jared is. He is lucky that someone like Jared became his friend he certainly does not deserve his friendship.
Yep, you're right anon. Jensen always thought he was the "star." There was this one interview with SH Jensen did years ago, she called him "the star of the show" bc she was pissed jared didn't show for the interview. He never corrected her. Jared would have.

Rewatching On the Head of a Pin
Welcome to “Shockingly Little Soft Shoe: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!
Up today, s4e16: On the Head of a Pin
“Castiel and Uriel want Dean to help them get info out of Alastair using the, um, very special skills he learned during his residency Downstairs. But the phrase “This hurts me more than it hurts you” has maybe never been more truthful, and Dean is clearly shook by the experience. Also, Alastair manages to escape the demon trap and Smarty Cas figures out it was Uriel who let him. All is fraught in the world of angels and boys.”
Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.
 [and we begin:]
Lor:
my god look at him
Mace:
so young
Lor:
all stern and hair and coat flapping and striding
Lor:
YES
Mace:
YES
Lor:
the burnt wing thing is SO COOL
Mace:
it really is
Lor:
oooo Sam is driving
Mace:
yeah that’s weird
Lor:
yeah
Lor:
"I'm tired of burying friends, Sam" oh hon
Mace:
“get angry"
Lor:
"we just got back from needed"
Mace:
he’s so done
Mace:
“good times"
Lor:
he really is
Lor:
and the look on Cas's face
Mace:
he’s so cute when he’s pissed
Lor:
omg Uriel giving Cas the "don't coddle them" look
Mace:
and Cas pursing his lips
Lor:
yep he's not about it
Lor:
he wants to coddle the short one so bad
Mace:
snork I love that he’s the short one at, what, over 6 ft?
Lor:
YES
Lor:
ooooof this whole storyline the asking Dean to torture the demon who taught him to torture I just
Mace:
oh Sammy is pissed too
Lor:
YES
Mace:
yeah it’s a great story line
Lor:
"this is too much to ask, I know, but we have to ask it"
Mace:
yeah
Lor:
the dynamic between them is just chef's kiss
Mace:
yeah, give them some privacy pls
Lor:
BACK OFF URIEL
Lor:
uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison lolololololol
Mace:
SNORK
Lor:
"i've been told we need it" I love how he puts it that it's not HIM that wants it
Lor:
"I would give anything not to have you do this"
Mace:
ooof
Lor:
and Dean's watery eyes
Mace:
yep
Mace:
this dude is so gross
Lor:
right?
Lor:
he's so good at the part
Mace:
too good. it’s gross
Lor:
Sam looks very nice in that shirt
Mace:
he really really does
Mace:
oh Sammy, I adore you, you know that, but you don’t have it in you. Dean… does.
Lor:
John only lasted that long because his heart was already a stone
Lor:
yeah
Lor:
that's kind of the problem, Sammy
Lor:
THAT'S why he's not right since he came back
Mace:
“Daddy’s little girl”
Mace:
I LOVE IT
Lor:
YES
Mace:
he needs a cutoff T with that on it
Lor:
YES HE DOES
Mace:
and Cas needs one that just says Daddy
Lor:
OMG YESYESYES
Mace:
this super shouldn’t be so hot
Lor:
eh
Mace:
yes, Dean LET’S GET STARTED
Lor:
oooof Cas's FACE
Lor:
HOW do people think these two don't love each other
Mace:
they’re dummies
Lor:
spells are in Latin but ending spells is in English?
Mace:
pls don’t get me started
Lor:
I mean
Lor:
I would not be above getting you started
Mace:
i know this, Lor
Mace:
oh Sam
Lor:
weak. he should be drinking it straight from her neck
Mace:
you sweet tall dipshit
Lor:
come on, boy, if yer gonna do it, do it
Lor:
LOLOLOL
Lor:
YES
Lor:
no no Alistair. there may be no going back, but Cas is building him into something so much better
Mace:
besides, he’s more interesting with the torture competence and the being tortured by the torture competence
Mace:
exponentially hotter
Lor:
DEFINITELY
Mace:
“went to receive revelation” = “having a poop"
Lor:
OMG that look on his face when he holds his jaw SO HOT
Lor:
HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lor:
YES
Lor:
oh Cas. lean into your doubt, baby
Mace:
oh honey, Chuck is a dick
Lor:
right?
Mace:
oh, we’re calling it doubt now? See, I thought it was Gay Feelings for Dean Dean
Lor:
I do love that the emphasis here is on what the torture does to the torturer. like it's obvious that you shouldn't torture people because of what it does to the victim of the torture. putting the emphasis on how it harms the person doing it is so much more interesting
Lor:
HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lor:
I think it's both
Mace:
yeah
Lor:
(I feel like there's an understood but maybe needs to be said "in fiction" here)
Mace:
(nah)
Lor:
(oh good)
Lor:
oh Dean
Lor:
is the hardest part of this for him learning that he was responsible for breaking the first seal or that he was a righteous man?
Lor:
OMG the quivering lip. the twitch in the jaw. HOW does Jensen DO that?
Mace:
How much of it, I wonder, is Moral Law that the torturer is damaged and how much is actually that the damage is self-inflicted, in the sense that Dean thinks he shouldn’t like it, Mr. Black and White no Grey (at this point in the show, at least)
Lor:
ooooo interesting
Mace:
oh look, he’s actually showing damage here - maybe because he believes he deserves this?
Mace:
oooh and look, Cas has no qualms about twisting that knife
Mace:
that in itself is pretty darn hot
Lor:
I am FASCINATED by this question. has Alaistair hurt him in a way that we can see or is he ABLE to because Dean thinks he deserves it?
Lor:
YES
Mace:
I mean, I think that’s the best/most interesting interpretation of the whole idea of Hell: it only exists for those who believe they deserve it
Lor:
and what, exactly, is the differentce between using Dean's torture knowledge he learned from a demon and Sam doing it because he's jumped up on demon blood?
Lor:
so it doesn't exist for turdburgers who think they're okay?
Lor:
hmmm
Mace:
Yes! Sam believes in his ‘cause’ and so isn’t at all tortured by what he’s doing. And as much as I love him, Dean’s anguish is better/more complex.
Lor:
like, I don't think it exists as a literal place, but I have always kind of thought of hell as the twisting up you do to yourself by not being a good human
Mace:
I don’t really think there’s anyone who’s actually that simpleminded
Lor:
the turdburgers bit?
Lor:
oh Cas
Mace:
so for you that version exists.
Mace:
yep
Mace:
aw, he had a good poop
Lor:
the way he loses his faith is so heartbreaking even though it is the thing that lets him become who he authentically is
Lor:
HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lor:
I mean one does often feel more clear minded after a nice movement
Mace:
exactly
Lor:
Cas looks so LITTLE and LOST
Lor:
take that boy and run away with him and find a nice place to live together, Cas
Mace:
lost faith tends to do that
Lor:
yeah
Mace:
yes, Cas, do that
Mace:
“I’m considering disobedience” THAT IS SO HOT
Lor:
YES IT IS
Mace:
he’s aiming to misbehave
Lor:
and the fact that it MEANS something to him makes it even HOTTER
Lor:
YAAAAAAS
Mace:
now, fuck off, Anna
Lor:
"please tell me what to do" oh hon
Lor:
yep, think for yourself
Mace:
oh, I’ll tell you what to do, sugarwings
Lor:
yeah, Anna, get lost. and don't ever touch Dean or Cas again
Lor:
YAAAAAAS
Lor:
GOD LOOK AT HIM
Mace:
YES
Lor:
Uriel you lying piece of shit
Mace:
yep
Lor:
I mean. it probably was forever, Cas
Mace:
HA
Lor:
nah. it's the blade
Mace:
angel blades don’t kill angels. angels kill angels.
Lor:
LOL
Lor:
careful Uriel. that's Lucifer talk there
Lor:
also, have you met Cas? shittalking humanity is not the way to get him on your side
Mace:
HA
Mace:
Uriel would be so cool as Luci
Lor:
oh. Uriel knows he's Lucifering. I had forgotten that piece
Lor:
he WOULD
Lor:
I'm cool with Uriel exiting stage left but I wish they had either cast this actor as someone who stuck around or found a way to bring him back
Mace:
yeah
Lor:
(shockingly this is true of many of the Black actors on this show)
Mace:
(NOOOO. I’M SHOOK.)
Lor:
omg his little bloody face
Mace:
YES
Mace:
everyone’s getting torn up today
Lor:
YEP
Lor:
on SPN blood is either silly or HOT
Mace:
yep
Lor:
he goes to sit with him I cannot
Mace:
YES
Lor:
"you need to be more careful" "you need to learn to manage a damn devil's trap" MARRIED
Mace:
AND ANNA IS BANISHÈD
Mace:
YEP
Lor:
"it is not blame that falls on you, Dean. it's fate" OOOOOOOF
Mace:
now THAT’S an excellent debate
Mace:
Oedipal like, and all
Lor:
the one who starts it has to stop it. the CIRCLE of it all kicks feets in stupid symbolism glee
Lor:
YES
Mace:
“then you guys are screwed” oh HONEY
Lor:
"I can't do it, Cas. It's too big" and his VOICE
Lor:
THIS MAN SHOULD HAVE AN EMMY
Mace:
he really should
Lor:
"I guess I'm not the man either of our dads wanted me to be"
Mace:
“either of our dads” oh jesusfuckingchrist that’s good
Lor:
WELL THEY WERE BOTH ASSHOLES, DEAN
Lor:
RIGHT?
Lor:
ooooof that is AN EPISODE
Mace:
CRIPES
Lor:
I feel like you could do a whole semester-long course on THIS ep. the symbolism! the family dynamics! the weird-ass Christianity
Lor:
hello, this is interdisciplinary shit 101. our text is one (1) episode of Supernatural
Mace:
snork
Lor:

Lor:
Blood-born diseases and how they make you able to smish demons
Lor:

Dean and Crowley in the bar after Dean "accidentally" called him bc he's having complicated feelings(tm) about how the first blade made him feel (angry, scared, and most importantly, hella depressed) (spn 09x17 mother's little helper):
Crowley: Why are you fighting what you really are?
Dean: ...I'm a hunter.
Crowley: Who's a chip off the old mark of Cain.
Dean: No. When I kill, I kill for a reason. I'm nothing like Cain. [Note: def trying to convince himself of this after getting scared of how much he liked the feeling of holding the blade TWICE last episode]
Crowley: Nothing like– Who are you talking to? I know you're not talking to me.
Dean: Eat me.
Crowley: I saw you. I saw the two of you together. Nothing like Cain? What's in that bottle? Delusion? I'm really starting to worry about you, Dean.
//
Cas: I know. I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You're destructive, and you're angry, and you're broken. You're "daddy's blunt instrument." And you think that hate and anger, that's... That's what drives you, that's who you are. It's not. And everyone who knows you see it. Everything you have ever done, the good and the bad, you have done for love. You raised your little brother for love. You fought for this whole world for love. That is who you are. You're the most caring man on Earth. You are the most selfless, loving human being I will ever know. (15x18)
Help. H E L P.
I know people hate the MoC arc for some reason so whatever hate it all you want but it's an important character development arc and somehow really well fuckin done if you look at it in the context of all 15 seasons.
(Also lol for Cas and Crowley being Dean's literal angel and devil on his shoulders, great narrative foils, love to see it.)

hi! I saw your post about the why episode title change why 11 scenes cut why lamp etc etc and I know some of it but not all, and I was hoping you could elaborate on spngate— if it’s not too much trouble— or point me in a direction where I can join you in the spn gate?
I feel ashamed for HOW LONG i let this ask just rot in my askbox (it's from january, apparently, now it's april. i thought maybe two weeks passed but NO. it was months. ANON I AM SO SO SO SO SORRY. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART) but now with the power of this url and the wine i am currently sipping, let me give you the best, most thought-out answer that i possibly can.
I don't know how long you've been following/watching spn, so I won't get into real deep iceberg theories that go back to season 8 and jeremy carver, for the purpose of this essay answer I'll just stick to the year anno domini 2020, and will try to do my best to tell you what happened.
Okay, maybe 2019. So, in june 2019, when the first scripts and drafts for s15 are presented, these things happen: 1. apparently, according to Berens, the confession scene is the first thing that was written for season 15. 2. Jensen Ackles is sat down and asked if he would be okay with this. (question is asked: why would they ask jensen if all he does in this scene is look at cas, he doesn't say anything, he does not confess, it changes nothing about his character, etc.; if you put the real tjlc tinfoil hat on you'd ask hey , maybe they asked him if precisely that is okay, if he is okay with the fact dean is practically silenced here but that's Deep) 3. Jensen apparently is okay with that, because it happens.
also this thing happens around the same time: 1. they write the ending for the brothers, and no matter what version of the finale we're talking about, Dean dies 2. Jensen Ackles is Not Okay with this. he calls Kripke who then, in a call and/or email assures him it's a good ending (Jensen says that) and also very quickly after that Jensen is announced to play Soldier Boy in Kripke's The Boys. make of that what you want
They film, blah blah, march 2020, covid happens, they stop production right after they film the confession. Last episode to air is 15x13, last episode they film is 15x18, they almost have a plane crush when flying to vegas con, and then, a loooong break until august 2020. Now, from what we know, there were two versions of the finale - the pre-covid finale they were supposed to film if the filming schedule wasn't interrupted, and the finale that happened.
What was supposed to be in the Original Finale/Pre-Covid Finale, we still don't know exactly, but from what the cast said, there was supposed to be a big cast reunion, Harvelle's Roadhouse in Heaven, Kansas Band (why are they dead?) playing there after Dean gets there and so on.
Anyway. July 2020. Misha does a livestream with Michael Sheen (the SuperGood campaign) where he says he is going back to filming the last two episodes in a few weeks. he said it LIVE. it's on youtube. people analyze the background from Misha's livestreams and photos and conclude he is in Vacouver, where spn is filmed. He also says that he is going back filming in a few interviews. Also here.
August 2020. They go back to filming in august 2020 to film 15x19 and 15x20.
August 20th, 2020, Misha's birthday.
Tumblr media
I wasn't on set TODAY. so casual. of all days i wasn't there today.
August 24th, 2020, day 6/8 of filming 15x19, Angel with a Shotgun is hash tag Song of The Day while filming scenes of 15x19 (scene 28, 31).
September 4th, 2020. ALL THEY FILM, for the whole DAY, is one scene. They usually film a few. They film one. Song of the day? The Night We Met.
Somewhere before the episodes starts to air again, Dabb says only 30% of the audience will like the finale. Anyway, everyone concludes, Misha is filming, destiel is more or less going canon, but everyone including bibros is sure Misha is filming and will be there for the finale.
Originally, "Despair" was called "The Truth".
Finale airs.
It feels shorter (apparently it's not) but it does have an additional ad break. For Walker. But it feels shorter because of the "carry on my wayward son" cover montage that lasts too long and later it's discovered thanks to scripts that dropped that there are ELEVEN scenes that were filmed,, but didn't make it to the episode. The script that drops is also very telling, where scenes are just [OMMITTED]. It was explained that they wanted to have actor there but they didn't want actors to quarantine for two weeks to film one or two scenes BUT then that's exactly what they did with Jim Beaver lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah. I also remember Misha at a con (DarkLight?) where, after asked about the original ending, he answers that the original ending was something that would be better explored in fanfiction anyway. Theory rises he filmed and was cut off the episode without his or Jensen's knowledge because Misha sat down his kids to watch the spn finale (which was the first episode they were supposed to watch ever, why would he do that if he's not there?) and then, CW SPN twitter posts a goodbye video that has everyone from the cast and their mother BUT MISHA AND JENSEN ARE NOT THERE. Jensens sexy silence starts.
THEN THE WILDEST THING HAPPENS.
November 25th, the Spanish Dub. 15x18 drops in Brazil and Dean says "and i you" to Cas, after he confesses. No "don't do this cas" but "and i you". Tumblr stops working for two hours, people on discords are screaming, no one knows whats happening, someone claims Jensen was called in September 2020 to record some adlibs? To record the muffled sobs Dean does while on the floor. Theory is supported by the fact that in the Bazil version? When Dean sits on the floor? The sound that plays are birds. Chirping birds. Sounds don't match, what was Dean saying while crying on the floor, question arises.
Everyone decides there was a Rogue Translator who managed to hide from The CW Sniper (who is the reason actors just dont tell us everything) and translated some kind of Original Script. Voice Actors are invited to a podcast where they debunk this saying that it was added because the translator felt this was the right response or something like that. Anyway they debunk the fact that there existed, at any time, a version of a script, that maybe was send to them, where Dean says I love you too. This was a wild night, no one slept.
And like. I could make this post longer, but I am planning to, one day, make a huge masterpost with real sources about that because honestly you could write a book about it.
But tl;dr spngate is a theory that misha did film for the last 2 episodes and the changes they made were truly last minute (september 2020), they were going for a canon destiel, possibly human!cas engame, dabb was always on our side, and it's based on stuff like jensen actively hating the ending to the point he made his prequel after 2 years of radio silence, 11 scenes just cut from the finale, misha saying he is going back filming, and people like mark pellegrino saying the last scene he filmed was with alex and misha. also the onion field. why lamp is the theory that cas is represented and symbolized by lamps throughout the show and when dean dances with a Lamp in a drug induced dream instead of, say, some kind of a lady he is actually thinking about cas.
also there are little things like when jensen at an online con before the finale says that oh yes i am wearing a grey flannel but tomorrow? who know it could be blue and green. and we all collectively lost our shit. like when he said he is most excited to "tackle" with cas in season 15. or that "dean has no taste, clearly". WHY WAS YOUR PERMISSION NEEDED JENSEN
there are a lot of things i didn't mention here because i simply can't unflod this whole thing just like that but
Tumblr media
but if you understand this picture you might be entitled to financial compensation

First i love how your sister didn’t name a certain person so haters can’t come down on you, now that’s how family works! Second, I’m glad she brought up Natalia/Brian because honestly that was something that i couldn’t figure out to save my life. Third, overall how do you think Honolulu went? How do you think the boys were? I love when you post about cons! I always get a new perspective! Love from Germany!
The questions from the panels were boring, I prefer the questions people used to make on the Strike era at least they were innovative.
I cant understand why people dont ask about Spn stuff, like dude Spn con wtf? 15 seasons, we are the show that could have more questions to ask and literally we waste the cons...But that's just my opinion
Tumblr media
Jensen and Jared were as funny as always. They were so touchy too and they were sit so close:,)♡
Tumblr media
People in the Gold Panel saying Yayyyyy to Jensen's haircut and Boooo to Jared's got me🤮 Like dude who the hell do you think you are to make that? It was like hey, Jensen, you look ugly with your current look and Jared looks so hot😑 Really people should start thinking that Js are not their toys...
I really think Jared was saying this was to shut up all their mouths and to make clear to Jensen that he doesnt have to care about that.
Tumblr media
Jensen was the one who was like bearding more, but none of them did it too much
Didnt understand when he said Dean had not regrets, like well maybe he didnt want to answer the question but telling Dean has no regrets is a lie...
The last question from main panel people should think about what Jensen said there!
The tinhat parts-> I'm making posts about them dont worry, I've already posted one
And made two posts adding j2 moments in Honolulu:
-The butt slap
-Jared calling Jensen handsome
But I still have to make more posts! There were other things that got me🤔🤯

jackles learned to tap dance because of lamp. why lamp? we know why lamp (thanks dj <3). do you think jensen ackles learned to tap dance without knowing why lamp? do you think the guy who IS dean winchester learned to tap dance for a very long DREAM SEQUENCE without understanding why lamp?
once you understand why lamp, the jackles long con unfolds before you. why atomic monsters. why last call. why any of season 15. jackles knows.
and jackles is now the one making spn

(non spn watcher here) when did destial become a canon love story with writer intent? like was there more destiel-ness in the season leading up to the nov 5th confession?
Okay *cracks knuckles*.
First and foremost, I'm gonna tell you about my SPN history. I started watching SPN and got caught up with the show while s10 was airing and was watching live until the end of s12. I gave up specifically because Castiel's s11 plot proved to be just on the side of too miserable for me, and s12 didn't really make it any better (Cas dies at the end of that season). During this time, and until Nov 5th 2020, I was solidly on camp "Dean and Cas are never going to be canon just because of what SPN is fundamentally as a show, and even if they did, I cannot imagine a situation where it would be a good thing for Cas given SPN's track record on how they treat the angel."
When Nov 5th happened I was sucked back into the show. In preparation for the finale I watched all of s13-15 in the two weeks between the confession episode and the finale. Again, my perspective going into this endeavour was still very doubtful and pessimistic, specifically on the Dean side of the equation.
The beginning of s13 was a bit of a shock to me, honestly. It starts with what the fandom calls 'The Widower's Arc'. I think this was the arc that most solidly cements the feelings from Dean's side. It was so vehement in pointing out that Dean feels for Cas in a way so distinguished from how Sam does. In the very first episode of the season (so the first episode I watched after going back into SPN), Dean quietly wraps Cas' body with a curtain all by himself in a sunlit room. And I go Oh. Okay.
This vibe does wane after Cas comes back and regular SPN hijinks ensues. S14 actually ends with Dean and Cas fighting and Dean doing his usual Dean-isms. 15.03 is when that fight culminates: they break up and spend a couple episodes apart from each other.
15.09 The Trap features Dean and Cas in purgatory, and this was Truly An Episode. They bicker through-out the entire thing and are pretty pissed at one another, but then Cas gets taken, and Dean desperately prays to him, confesses his anger issues, forgives Cas and asks for forgiveness back. Later, they reunite, and Cas acknowledges that he heard everything Dean said.
This episode is so interesting to me because it culminates the Dean and Cas fight-separation-reconciliation plot of s15, and in doing so confirms it to be as important as it is. I cannot point enough that the plot reasons for the stuff happening in 15.09 is so pointless. They go to purgatory for a fetch quest for an item that can be interchangeable with literally anything else, specifically to put Dean and Cas back in purgatory (a meaningful place for them), have them be separated, and have the prayer happen. The whole point of the Dean and Cas portion of the episode is to do character work. We don't even see the scene where Cas finally gets the thing they're here to acquire in the first place. That's literally not the point. The point is Cas and Dean's story. S15 is the last season of a show with so many big things to wrap up, and they make it a point to have Dean and Cas go through a half-season arc that DOES occupy so much of the season and brings a new openness, vulnerability, and room for development into their relationship.
So yeah, before 15.18 there WAS very visible marks of the fact that Something was gonna happen. Interestingly enough all those marks were pretty dean-centric. I would say s4-10 destiel is the audience being inundated that Cas loves Dean. S11-15, ESPECIALLY 13-15 is so very much making it known that Dean loves Cas too.
On a related note, on Nov 21, 2020, a post is made here on tumblr claiming that around Dec 2016 (S12 was airing at this point), Warner Bros. conducted a market research about Supernatural, and from this person's experience, specifically about Dean and Cas and Dean's sexuality (link to a post that confirms the information in the post to be true). This market research was during the time leading up to s13, which I think does mark a big change in how the love between Dean and Cas started being framed by the show as something Dean both feels and is also aware of.
So, to answer your questions.
Was there more destiel-ness in the season leading up to the nov 5th confession? Yes.
When did destiel become a canon love story with writer intent? It became a canon love story by S15, but the writer intent to make it canon goes way back to s13 but probably even s12.
