If you’re reading Destiel out of metas that don’t even discuss Destiel or bi-Dean, such as independent or growing brother metas, or team free will parenting Jack, or current active major plot mechanics, or basic states of address on surrounding environments or basic events transcribed act-for-act, maybe it’s not the people typing these things without even talking about Destiel or Castiel that you have the problem with.
I just read a dean stan saying that our metas reduce dean to a one dimensional character and tbh I’m cackling so hard I can’t even compute the stupid. If you’re reading our meta analysis that literally, the whole point, is tearing down the one dimensional performance TO talk about the layers and the other side of himself that he hides and coming away from that thinking we are saying he’s actually one dimensional I don’t think it’s us that are the problem either. If they’re misreading both the show and the clear, obvious analysis we write that’s literally pointing it out then… I don’t see any hope for them.
Idk. Get some Gatorade to boost the mind process or something, at this point I don’t know how to even try to fix the stupid.
we probably saw the same one. i saw someone say that we just want to reduce dean to the perfect housewife because dean loves to take care of people? idk, man. they’re wild.
dean is complex. he’s a warrior AND a caretaker. a fighter AND a lover. he’s what monsters have nightmares about at night AND a domestic god. he likes classic rock AND taylor swift. he likes pie AND cake. etc etc etc forever and ever
they think metas touching on his domestic and caring side are reducing him and it’s NOT. like you said, it’s talking about his other more softer layers because he has layers like any good character.
im not even a dean-focused fan and i understand dean a lot more than these so-called dean stans that want him to force himself to always be in charge and not slow down and heal because that’s what THEY want.
s14 is proving to the audience that dean doesn’t have to be in charge all the time for a compelling story and it’s proving to dean that he can do what he wants and no one is going to die because of him taking his time with life.
