So, I'm three episodes behind, but got spoiled for the main event last night on Twitter.
How is everyone doing?
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Also three episodes behind, because I watched two yesterday. For some reason I had it in my head that SPN was not back yet, probably because I have such a poor grasp of when "now" is

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I didn't even realize it was back! Or maybe it's just not back on wherever I was streaming from over the summer.

And now I'm caught up, and saw The Thing.
Tumblr's not, I would say, wrong
I would have written it differently, but canon is canon I suppose.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Confessing a crush with no response does not a cherished wish make true.

We decided to catch up tonight. I told the whole tale of woe on my Twitter. To skip to the end, my TiVo acted up in the middle of Castiel's speech . Luckily, I recorded it on another TiVo that didn't fail me. The interruption and ensuing frustration broke the mood for me, although I did tear up . I will watch it again with DH and probably have more coherent thoughts, when it isn't 3:30ish a.m.

Bev, I am trying to handwave it as just saying it out loud made him happy without regard to any response, but I can’t make a strong case

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Cynically, it was a bone tossed to a specific faction of the fandom. Not everything they wanted, but some acknowledgement. Ackles has been adamant since Cas' appearance that friendship, brotherhood, was as far as he was prepared for Dean to go. That has never wavered, no matter how much they call him homophobe (he is not, and has unnecessarily proved it IRL times over). For a swan song performance, Collins threw everything into the scene. For me it was a change from wood-carved Cas that's been onscreen since S5 or so, so even though OTT, it made a nice change.
And finally, as I grow weary of repeating, romantic love is not the top of the love pyramid. There are many forms, and several are as important as romantic love. Had there not been ultimate certainty it would be taken awry, Dean might have agreed he loved Cas too, but not in this fandom.

Also, less cynically I can see where telling Dean he was one of the primary humans who'd taught Cas about humanity, and love. That Cas' love included family, as well as the human race, and he was grateful for that. That he loved Dean, as he loved humanity, and was grateful to have learned, and grateful to Dean for teaching him and showing him the depths and breadth of human experience.
But honestly I think the writers were far more giggly snide than that.
