Dean loved Cas in every definition of the word. Destiel is not some giant fanatical delusion. Their story IS and always will be, the greatest love story of all time, because they are the only couple in HISTORY who didn't need a kissing scene to prove the extent of their love for each other.

I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. You know Dean has stopped functioning at Cas' confession and death by that last scene. That has always been the case when he loses Cas. And Dean is THAT repressed. Dean dying inside everytime he loses Cas is romantic love at the rawest level. I will take the Destiel flag to the end of this show. EDIT: I rarely get to say this in my life, but... VINDICACÍON!!! 🎉🎉🎉 HAPPY DESTIEL DAY 2.0, GUYS!

“Of course I forgive you.” - Dean “The one thing I want.. it’s something I know I can’t have.” - Castiel Cas’ final sigh of realization and Dean just sitting there crying.. I will miss this. I will miss all of it.

Its canon but at what cost

Sooo, it's been confirmed by Dick Speight Jr that the handprint on the trenchcoat was Jensen's idea. That that whole scene was deliberately, meticulously engineered as a Dean/Cas moment. That no one in that room was unaffected as it all played out. How do we feel? Tell me again that Jensen wanted to opt out of this scene.

Shit, that rattling breath at the end just crushes me. No one tell me that Dean doesn't feel the same. This man is a shell of who he is after realizing his one happiness has just been taken away again and for the final time. Compare it to all the times he lost Cas, and he fights to bring him back. Here, he just slumps and lets the grief overtake him. That is pitiful how he just crumbles. Give it more time, he would be in a heap on the floor, mourning the loss of his angel on top of and in spite of the imminent task of killing God altogether.

“The thing I want is something I know I can’t have” is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever heard.

Re watching ANY of this show while knowing whats coming is SOOO FUCKIN SATISFYING. im a gay dude who loved a man and was too afraid to tell him.he thought we were plutonic friends... and then he commited suicide.hell never know how i felt....this show is a perfect representation of my experience..homophobia and all...people are pissed cuz its not happily ever after...and in my experience life rarely is. so this show is representing men like me. men who love someone and the closet and homophobia makes them take their lives. People r saying dean seems uncomfortable. fucking duh hes still in the closet about being bi ...Cas obviously came to terms with their feelings first...deans not there yet.... only after he losses cas for real will he realize who he loves....and it IS for realzies. the empty TOOK him. he DIDNT DIE.... he aint comin back ....AND IF U THINK DEAN ISNT BI, YOUVE BEEN WATCHING SOME OTHER SHOW DUDE.

These are the two scenes that are gonna live rent free in my mind forever

Cas: I like LOVE Love you Daddy’s little Blunt Instrument: 👁👄👁

Everyone rewatch 12x12, 12x31, and 13x1, and then rewatch 15x18. Dean is a husk. "I couldn't save mom. I couldn't save Cas. I don't matter." This was how it was going to be. This was planned for literal seasons. You ask too much from a man who has been hollowed out over and over. And he knows Cas did something dumb to permanently keep them apart. And somehow it's happening again after the impossibility of the last time, and what worth is there now. What is left for him.

Purgatory is an awful place but clearly it does good to dean and cass's relationship

I WAITED 9 YEARS FOR THISSS AND THIS HAPPENS!!!

Can’t wait for the fix it fanfics I’m gonna read

*All anti-people are like “IN THE SCRIPT I SAYS THAT DEAN DOESN’T RECIPROCATE!”* But then... in the script it says he CAN’T not DON’T, which could mean a number of things is stopping him from allowing him to reciprocate those feelings in that moment. It’s the difference of Destiel being impossible and Destiel being impossible under the circumstances.

I'll never forgive spn for not appreciating castiel enough, or at all. He was the most selfless character in the show, sacrificed everything for the people he loved. He deserved better. They better bring him back for the finale.

Part of me thinks Billy didn't just knock down the door right away is because she was like "aight time for some fan service"

his voice when he says his “i cares about the whole world, because of you” line never fails to make me cry no matter how much i watch this

I want cas to come back and then I want dean to immediately run up and kiss him. That would be the ultimate ending.

There were some parts of this that were really cheesy but you cannot tell me that dean crying in a ball in the corner ignoring his phone bc he’s processing what just happened and everything cas said isn’t him reciprocating feelings. No he didn’t say it, but this man has had the ability to process emotions beaten out of him for the last 15 seasons give him a minute y’all

Cas started his speech, I was freaking out. I was rocking back and forth, thinking to myself 'yes please! do it, come on!' but at the same time 'please don't not do it. if your don't i'ma hate myself for the rest of my life.' And then he said 'I love you' And I cheered. And then he died. And I couldn't cry because Cas was happy, with his choice and saying it to Dean. It's the best ending Cas could get.

This is somehow simultaneously the happiest and the saddest thing that has ever happened to me in my life.

Honestly, I stopped watching Supernatural awhile ago cuz it was just taking a lot out of me to keep up with fifteen seasons, but Destiel going canon gives me the motivation I needed to get back into the show. :D Even if its sad :(

His handmark on Dean's shoulder... Poetic. I am happy and sad at the same time. :')

I can't believe it happened.... I kept pausing cause I couldn't watch the entire thing... Omg... Casssssssss

If they wouldve hugged before Cass pushed him away I would've passed out crying 😭😭😭😭 I was already crying ....this scene really got me more then the other one 😭😭😭😭😭😭

did y'all notice how cas left the same handprint on dean's arm? like.....the same one from when cas pulled dean out of hell? :'''')

been here for 10 years, this is what i get. this is the bad place.

1:18 Listen... I KNOW what he says here. But every time I watch this clip I genuinely think I hear him say “I love- I don’t know why I get so angry”

Y'all cannot tell me that this scene isn't depressing af. Even if it's gay or not gay or whatever, it is Cas finally expressing his feelings and happiness to Dean. I heard that Dean barely reacted but honestly I like the more subtle reaction because it hits harder. He watches on his best friends basically say goodbye and is prepared to die/be gone forever and he is in shock. He can't stop this, he doesn't know how to stop this.

I remember when the Dean prayer scene was the most romantic I thought Destiel was ever going to get and then we're hit with an actual love confession 😭 I just want Cas to be alive and live happily ever after with Dean now, after that confession. Cas deserves it. And Dean deserves it too. They'd be really happy together. Edit: They deserved so much better... 💔 RIP Dean and Cas 😔 I hope you meet again in Heaven, since Cas is apparently free in Heaven now too (thanks to Jack). I can't understand this, it hurts so much. They deserved to live.💔😔

1:18 "I love y-" I'm going to take this moment, and use it to slap anyone who says Dean wouldn't have reciprocated. Dean DID reciprocate, in more ways than ANY "canon" straight couple in the history of romantic relationships. If a sexy kiss is what it takes to make a couple 'officially canon,'.... that explains why I have no interest in any romances outside of Destiel.

I am the tear in Misha's right eye, holding on for dear life 🙃😭

“It got a lil smushed”🥺🥺

People say dean looks uncomfortable with this but to he looks like a man who just realized he had feelings for another man and he wants more time with him

I can't wait for the fanfiction for this

The depth of emotion that Dean is showing in his prayer is not just love for a "best friend", that's a romantic emotional depth. Sam and Cas are BFFs. Dean and Cas are Destiel.

"Ok Cas, I need to say something" "You don't have to say it. I've heard your prayer" ------- "I love you" "Don't do this, Cas" I think that no matter if Dean or Cas confessed first, the moment that word slipped, right at that moment is when the Empty was going to come. It knew who Castiel loved, and Castiel knew exactly how his happiness looked like. Maybe that's why he interrupted Dean, because even if it was him hopping or the real thing, he couldn't risk it, not yet.

Putin: *sees this* aight guys I'm out

fuck just make dean have a panic scene where he says that he loves him back, my folks love this show and don’t believe that they’re in love and stuff. just make it obvious, there’s no room for this hinting anymore. straight people are not going to get this.

I came from the tumblr memes. This is so much more unbelievably difficult to watch than I thought it would be. Oh my god.

When he started to confess Dean looks like he knows what Cas is about to say so he is like why are you telling me this now instead of years ago?

I cared about the whole world....because of you....What a powerful line...gods....

I'm only on season 4 and Cas has only been in like three episodes so I have no clue what's going on but this is the most heart wrenching thing I've ed ever watched Edit: I reached the reply limit of this comment so I started a new one on this same video.

"The one thing I want... it's something I know I can't have." UUUMMMM

We were ROBBED

they have BROKEN ME *sobs uncontrollably forever*

I thought this’d be funny but I was wrong

this hits different in spanish

Death's gone but love's gone too.

It felt like Dean wanted to tell Cas he loves him, and not just what he said the prayer.

In the end: Dean and us having a sad moment of breakdown: Phone: Brrrrrrr! Brrrrrrrrr!! Phone on the floor: Brrhhrhrh!! Brrhrhrhhrhrrrhrhrhhrhr!! Me watching, trying to decide whether to laugh or cry: 👁👄👁

im cryinggggggggggggg

god this is PAINFUL to watch but so good

The banging demon door is sooo obnoxious

Why do I keep torturing myself like this😪😫

He got to be gay, as a treat, but then had to go to Megahell because bury your gays as a trope is Sexy

1:18 "I love y-" so um. How did I NEVER F*CKING NOTICE THIS BEFORE. HUH?

No one gonna mentioning the hand print D: And Dean was so sad, God damnit. It broke my heart. I know most think this was homophob or what, but I don't see that. I see so much love, such a message and I'm sad for them. So tske the chance boys and girls. Don't ever wait for the perfect moment.

i checked out of this show a long time ago but man this had me in my feels

so the cw made BOTH castiel and clexa canon (ik that the clexa situation is different) without making either of the two endgame? that's just pure evil

I used to be a big fan of romance novels and romantic movies. then Destiel happened. Now, I get nauseous watching two strangers pretend to be in love with each other after a couple weeks of kissing, sex and hot dates. All those happy smiles and kisses in the rain and stupid cliche tropes....It all just seems so.... fake. so shallow. Compared to Dean and Cas.

I’m sorry but to everyone who says “why doesn’t Dean say I love you too”, it’s because it’s a lot to process. He was getting his head around what Cas is saying and what is happening around him! That’s what I took from that scene anyway!

Castiel is such a bottttooommm

I got my wish...my otp came true...this is everything I wanted, but I feel awful. we were all willing to make them happen, but what was the cost? was it worth it?

y yo a ti, cas

This is more painful that my love life 💔💔💔

I wish they would've at least seen each other at the very end but I'm happy with this. It's different from a happily ever after. I can't tell if it is a one-sided love or Dean just doesn't know his own feelings yet but either way I'm glad they did this. I know lots of people are upset with that but I like it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

So, that's officially canon? Or not?

this shit hurted holy shit I was gone for two years?!

why are you doing this to me?!?!?!

Gaaaaaaaaah i caaaan't omg

I'm not up to date with the series so I have no idea what exactly is going on, but... ARE YOU F*CKING TELLING ME DESTIEL WENT CANON AND THEN CAS DIES???

i’m banging my head into a table brb everyone

MY BOI'S

Jensen during Cas’s confession: 😶😐

It's canon... but at what cost?

i have anger management problems too!

wait wwait wait wait. . . . i thought they were canon years ago . . . .

How did they make this feel so homophobic i-

Didn't the dialogue from Dean's prayer bother anyone? He was so mean to Cas thru the whole episode and then "I don't know why I get so angry," is what my abuser said to me right before I dumped his ass after he had spent an hour yelling at me.

I'm only on season 4 and Cas has only been in like three episodes so I have no clue what's going on but this is the most heart wrenching thing I've ever watched A continuation of my journey watching Supernatural:

All I have to say about this is three words...WHAT THE HELL 😭😭😭😭

Misha did so good! Jensen not so much.

I love this show but that coming out scene was hella homophobic

From which season is it?

ow

Fuck T_T If this is the price for the canon, then I'd happily exchange Cas for it. We all know its love , anyway.

I don’t rl unterstand Sm- dean didn’t rl said it Back it did he? Like i Love the Ship a lot But isk i Heard sm saying he would have said it back

Not you guys actually LIKING this confession scene? Girl WHAT 👁👄👁 IN THE SCRIPT IT SAYS “Dean couldn’t reciprocate” ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? It’s been 12 years and we didn’t even get a gay realization for Dean? And they did the whole “kill the gays” trope? I’m so upset.

After watching years and years of supernatural this confession made me feel like ot is a brotherly love that you totally admired we all know what cas and the family got into and this just makes sense this is so pure man

When did the show become a cheesy ass soap opera? Also no "I love you" back with not a kiss either? Dean has shown Cas affection so many more times compared, yet writers know this but still didn't fully commit smh.

ITS NOT CANNON😂😂

Not actually canon. It was unrequited love. Cas felt it, Dean didn't.
