I know I have mentioned this before. I just wanted to talk again about the healing power The Winchester has over me. Like I’ve said, I’ve been in the fandom for over a decade, but as time passed I was less interested in the actual show and basically became just a destiel fan (the homophobia within the fandom and some inconsistencies in the show made me focus more in the deancas relationship) and after that horrible finale I was so angry and hurt that I said I would never watch the show again. What was the point, if I already knew they had ruined everything at the end. At first I felt stupid, it’s just a tv show and all that, but I mean, had Jensen moved on? Obviously not.
Anyway, I kept my promise for over two years. But when I saw what Jensen, Robbie and the others were doing with TW, I felt like I started to heal. I never really got the chance to talk about this with anyone in my life because no one really cares, so I had to suffer alone this whole time, and I wasn’t moving on. I wasn’t getting better, it was just this resentment that wouldn’t go away.
And so I watched TW, and I understood that this was Jensen trying to fix what the original show had done wrong. Because he needs his healing too, and I totally understand that. And he’s Dean Winchester, he deserves his happy ending. And like I said, I know it sounds stupid, but I feel we’re both (and other people too) are healing together with this. We’re in this together. Now I am capable to watch Supernatural again. I want to see the parallels, I want to read fans theories and find the connections. I never thought I would get to this point again. I feel good now. I’m at peace, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.
Jensen ❤🥧🎊 Thank you so much for your phenomenal wonderful awesome acting of Dean and for every version of him and for your awesome and hard work on and out screen!
I love you Jensen and I love you Dean so much then, now, always and forever
🍰🥧🎉
Eric Kripke, Thank you so much for created this show and characters
dean winchester on that bunker's floor: "he loved me? like ... he was IN LOVE WITH me?! so angels could feel that way??!! I could've had him all this time?!!! and I didn't say I love you back!!"
Isn't great that for years, bibros have been like "Jensen and Misha only act that way as a PR stunt!"
And now here we are-- three years post-SPN, no PR to be had, and Jensen and Misha are still acting "that way" and then, in the ironic twist of the decade, Jensen goes on to say that his and Jared's friendship was actually PR!
the votes are in & I feel obliged to let you know that you have won the poll and by popular vote have been proclaimed to be Misha Collins! Congrats! 🎊🍾 🌈
Assigned misha collins by tumblr poll holy shit!!!!! my first decision as misha collins is declaring that every destiel shipper gets a good nights sleep now and forever and also i need to set the record straight. it’s 10 inches actually
oh this is such a good question that i have never thought about before. im leaning towards no because cas really and truly wants dean and anything other than dean would just wont cut it for him. also like i know that jensen likes to think he’s exactly like dean but he’s not (at least not completely) and i think cas would clock that immediately and jensen would be absolutely devastated when he found out. plus i feel like cas would basically find jensen so inconsequential and unworthy of his attention and jensen would def cry about it
All of the characters have character development, Dean very very much included. I do think that people sometimes don't know what "character development" means though. Character development is literally how developed your character is, as in—do they feel like a real actual human being, or do they feel like a plot device?
Dean Winchester is actually the most real feeling character I have ever encountered in fiction. He has an extensive backstory that richly explains how he thinks, what motivates him, what his flaws are, and how he relates to others, and we continue to see things happen to him that also shape who he is and how he thinks going forward. He has a long list of mannerisms, likes and dislikes, and interests. He has a well-fleshed out moral framework (contrary to popular fanon). We see his choices and his actions and his beliefs shaped by the experiences of his life and the challenges he faces and his circumstances and it makes him change or rethink things in some aspects while other ideals he cleaves even more strongly to in response. He is adaptable in some aspects but also retains a sense of self, which is how real people are and how characters should be. His emotions ebb and flow in interesting and relatable and understandable ways. He experiences joy and pain and grief and love and every other emotion under the sun and he wrestles with all of them, and he adapts and overcomes and loves and perseveres as real people have to and do, and that is what I would call excellent character development.
I need to say it. Art and gifs of Destiel/Cockles kissing as gorgeous, amazing, incredible, any other adjective like those as they are (I'll be honest I wouldn't be able to create one as good as those I saw here on Tumblr and without them we have nothing), I think deeply inside of me that they don't even come close to what that kiss would be, given the insane chemistry that these two men have.
And it's the same about fanfic, as good of a writer as some are, and there are incredible writers out there whose fics I love to read again and again, hell I even write Destiel fics myself, but it's the same that for the art and gifs, describing a kiss as good as you can do it with a language limited by words can't do enough justice to how the real kiss would happen.
I only wish I could be able to see them kiss for real, because I'm sure if it happens one day, it will catch my heart, rip it out of my chest, hug it tight and put it back in there (even to describe what I would feel, words aren't enough).
