Dean seemed to get a bit sensitive about it toward the end of Season 6, but it wasn't obviously gay panic rather than "OMG, the friend I've been jokingly flirting with is actually in love with me!" There didn't seem to be any condemnation as far as I can tell.

"Cas, get out of my ass!"

Honestly, what little I see in the show seems to be the writers responding to fans inferences and playing it up, either as a fanservice or a whack on the head. Though someone on the show has to bear the brunt of responsibility for making the D/C so easy. I'll blame (thank) Misha.

(I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore).

"no homo!" (and how I hate that phrase).

Oh, god, me too.

My last year of teaching, that was a BIG thing. Guys would say "I love you, man" and then follow up with a "NO HOMO!" and every time I heard it, I would flip out like a ninja.

At the end of the year, some of the worst offenders participated in the "Day of Silence" for gay rights (which, take the day as positive or not), I was incredibly proud to see some of my previously "NO HOMO" spouting jocks walking around with t-shirts and placards around their chests stating, "I am choosing not to speak today in support of gay rights."

Later, after that day, one confronting a "No homo" speaking teammate, rolling his eyes and saying "Man, just love on your bro. You don't need to say that! That's some hateful shit, yo! Y'all bootsie."

Nothing to do with SPN, but I was really proud of that kid, and I pulled him into the hallway, gave him a side-hug (the most teachers were allowed to have contact with students) and told him how proud I was.

And...I did not know about that usage of bootsie until I just googled it. Motherfucking old, man. OLD.

has anyone posted this yet?

Hmm, before I would say it wouldn't be narratively possible, but with Bobby . . . if the stars aligned in reality, I don't think I'd be averse to seeing him again. Narratively, I kind of feel that it would have to be the final season for that to happen, series finale kind of stuff.

Ash has a new video, incorporating that awesome cello duo who looked an awful like Sam and Dean: [link]

For *fuck's* sake those download sites make me feel like an idiot. I can't find the right links to download shit. It's all designed to get me to download software, not the actual vid. For god's sake. I guess I'll go without saving it.

Having seen it, I'm glad I'm not on top of what the vidding community is doing, so I only find out things when they get around to being recommended. I imagine some people did some pretty crappy stuff with this idea. It's nice only seeing this well-paced one with a great choice of shots.

And yet she says she doesn't get off on the boys fighting each other. Oh, she does. She just doesn't know it yet,

I followed a link to ahem an episode (the one where Cas comes back) and ran into the same thing. I got so frustrated, I just gave up.

I'm obsessed with someone using Adele's Don't You Remember as a Dean/Cas vid.

When will I see you again?

You left with no goodbye,

Not a single word was said,

No final kiss to seal any sins,

I had no idea of the state we were in,

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,

And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head,

But don't you remember?

Don't you remember?

The reason you loved me before,

Baby, please remember me once more,

When was the last time you thought of me?

Or have you completely erased me from your memory?

For *fuck's* sake those download sites make me feel like an idiot.

Right?! I spent about fifteen minutes linking to the wrong thing before I realized I had to register on the site to be able to dl. Apparently it's the new SOP something or other taking effect. But she's got it on Vimeo now, password Winchesters.

That must have been exhausting to edit, I have to say.

I'm also still hung up on the tumblr comment you quoted, ita. SPN has it's issues with homosexuality, where I feel it's too often treated like the butt of a joke (and not in the main character potential pairing way). But I don't feel it warrants the "I'm looking at you, SPN" tag. Maybe the tag in question points more towards the part of the post that you didn't quote, where she goes on about female characters getting relegated to the background and fans hating on those women, which SPN fans are plenty guilty of, but I wouldn't crucify the show for.

I see a big line delineating between Show and Show's intentions, and fans interpretations and expectations. And I think fans have a big role in that, but the creators have a big role as well, and a role that I think they've failed at from time to time.
