Also, that’s bullshit that John is a stronger/better man than Dean. Bullshit.
Seriously. It's just validating John's not remotely special brand of patriarchal emotional abuse. Whatever.
And yesssssss to all your Dean thoughts. One of the best Dean episodes of the entire series, all of the ~feelings.
and I feel uncomfortable slashing characters if there isn’t canon bi-curiosity.
Not to invalidate your uncomfortableness, but I guess my problem here is - how many characters on TV are actually portrayed as non-hetero? The writers are never gonna go there on this show, that's a near-certainty.
And re: Dean/Cas, it's not really a sexual tension "it could happen" thing so much as a narrative "what their characters do for each other's development" thing. Which, obviously, I feel differently about Cas's arc. *g*
Oy, sorry about the accidental spoilage. If it helps, I don't think that particular bit of info is as big a deal as it seems?
