My sister is adamant that there is no ghey in the into to Aaron scene.
Oh, hey, Word of God commentary. Nice to see you! Go visit my sis. Bring Jensen with.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Intro to Aaron? Say again?

The scene where Aaron introduces himself to Dean? The directors describe the performance as having a rom com sense of potential to it (I think they may have used the word "bashful" oo, but definitely "rom com" and "potential" and mentioned Dean's loneliness), and that it was entirely Jensen's decision.
It's not just us being crazy--at worst, we have some professional company.

Oh, in the Gollum episode? Right.

Golem, but yeah.
I do have to say--they don't laugh at it or anything. They comment on it perfectly straight, as it were, which I think is subtly remarkable. Technically, this lead has spent seven and a half seasons being ostensibly straight (let's assume this is the first queering of the text, mmmkay?) and he acts sincerely flustered at same sex attention--not flustered because it's a guy, but flustered because he's taking it seriously, and they play it? Sweet.
That's what they go with.
Shrugging, moving onto the next scene.
I'm a bi-Dean fan, clearly, but not one that thinks we'll ever see it. The scope of serious the show handles seems to be pretty well-defined, and sexuality doesn't really seem to be something for the leads to dabble with.
But hey.

Well, now I need to watch it again. I loved it when it aired, for a lot of reasons, but I didn't think about like that.

I'll look up the commentary verbatim for you tomorrow in case I'm over-reading romcom potential and lonely Dean. But I don't think so.

And then, I miss those guys.
I know! I was watching some reruns when I was on vacation, and they are so. young. And it's so cute when they don't know stuff, like their first ectoplasm. It's nice to see how the characters have grown.

IO9 asked who was the most messed up sff family, and no one said the Winchesters before me! Like, someone said SPN angels, but not the Winchesters.
SAD.
My explanation was garbled as fuck, but I had no idea that there was that much explicating to do, and I barely mentioned time travel and no resurrections.
