Fanart Tier - Destiel ;w;

Destiel, no matter what, will always be one of my favorites. As it's quoted, the greatest love story never told. I was so disheartened at season 11 when they had Dean so upset over Cas being Lucifer's vessel that when they finally reunited, the resolution of his desperation was just deflated. So much build up and then a small talk. I really will go down with this ship, but the AUs will keep me going forever. One of my favorites is Dean as a late night radio host who takes calls and plays classic rock, Cas is an avid listener who lives in a sad lonely world.

a) This is super cute (okay, not the best Dean likeness, but omg, Cas) and b) ...blarg. I was really, super, mega into SPN for a long time, and let's be frank: At this point, pretty much everyone involved in making the show is really only continuing because the CW keeps throwing money at it. There has been very little coherent idea of what should be happening for a long while now - this is why the same Sam/Dean fights keep coming up, over and over, why the angelic infighting will never resolve itself, etc. Because they're like, "screw it, they'll keep paying us no matter what, so why bother trying too hard?" (This is my opinion, anyway, as someone who watched obsessively from seasons 3 to 8, more half-assedly until midway through season 10, and then gave up.) My feeling is, if that's going to be your approach to making your show, you should feel grateful to still have anyone watching...and thus, to *still* be all rude and shitty about "eww, the gay, omg why are these people harping on that" is incredibly insulting. Like, a lot of your fans are only still watching *because* of that angle, guys, so if it bugs you so much, you can stop taking their money any ol' time now, you know? If what your loyal fans like squicks you out so hard, if it's so upsetting that the hordes of macho straight white dudes you wanted as fans never materialised, you don't *have* to keep making it. Sheesh. Anyway. Art!

Like I said, I'm not really in the fandom so I haven't kept up with how things may have changed since then. I just really remember that incident because I really empathized with the question asker; I've been at these big con events where people get up and ask questions and it's mortifying, I can barely even watch people ask regular questions, and to see someone put themselves out there like that and experience that reaction just devastated me. Once bitten twice shy, ya know?

Yeah, Supernatural was never my thing either, but ART so YAY! 🎉😄🎉

I apologize for expressing my opinion and personal preferences in a way that was probably more harsh than I needed to be. For the record, I did watch the early seasons, and still wasn't a huge fan whether or not Cas was on; it just never clicked for me, and I enjoyed the fic and fanart more than any part of the show. I also never expected Destiel to be canon, I'm just saying that I'm not interested in the show and that's basically what it would take to get me interested, but I 100% never expect it to happen. I watched the episode of Hannibal where Will Graham literally asked if Hannibal was in love with him and Bedelia said basically yeah and I STILL thought they'd make that mean some other no homo version of love, because I'm so disillusioned with mainstream media that I never ever expect a ship to become canon in anything I watch. So this, truly, isn't about something so simple as Destiel not being canon. I try to talk openly and honestly with people here, and I didn't want to pretend to be a fan of something I was not, and was simply trying to explain why I would draw fanart of the show if I wasn't a fan. I do feel badly that I talked trash about something you obviously care about, and I'm hurt to see a supporter react this negatively to said trash talk instead of criticizing me more objectively, like others have and which I'm happy to listen to, but my feelings on it aren't going to change, and if that means you feel you no longer want to support me then I'd understand that.

That's EXACTLY how I feel about SPN, so thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Yeeeeees!!! #hunterhusbands I came to the show a few years ago for Destiel but stayed for the fandom. I love meeting up with friends at the cons and my Destiel needs are so well met by artists and writers in the fandom. Like this amazing art, holy hell!!! 😍😍😍

Can I ask is that Dean in front or Cas?

You preach my brotha!

I watched up into the season where cas became human and the Angels were kicked out of heaven, so I'm not sure if I would have seen that one or not. It is mostly the con stuff that upset me, particularly this incident <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/society/jensen-ackles-homophobia-supernatural-fandom/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.dailydot.com/society/jensen-ackles-homophobia-supernatural-fandom/</a> How Jensen treated the fan who mentioned she was bisexual was so depressing. I know those questions were banned so people argue she was in the wrong, but he didn't have to react that way to his own fan. He probably immediately forgot about it, but that fan will remember it forever. And it bothers me too that the questions were banned, although you could argue that if they weren't, like 90% of the questions would be destiel so that's why they did it. I like the character still, but I have some issues with the actor after that. They'd pretty much have to do full blown destiel make outs on screen to win me back at this point lol

Omg the bear husbands. Omg. They were perfect. Pleaaaaassseee do them. Also played by actual gay actors so that was nice. And I'll have to counter you and say they aren't disrespectful to their fans. There's weird con stuff and some weird other stuff and yes okay queerbaiting. But the episode "fan fiction" still makes me tear up because I have never felt so loved and respected. And this was coming off Sherlock and then to be embraced and like look I know you've probably not watched much of the series but that episode is like a big hug for fandom. It made me continue to realize that supernatural fandom is family. Unlike any other.

Yes the best husbands were PERFECT

I never actually got into supernatural because I was warned about the queerbating BS. But THIS. THIS IS PHENOMENAL. Gosh, I love it. :3

I agree with everything you just said lol. The show has really good potential but sad it turned out the way it did :( On that note this is HOT! 😍
