This blog loves Dean, Sam, & Cas. Especially Cas. Destiel & Team Free Will. I write fics-Rosewhipped on ao3 (sometimes meta), make crack posts, weird content, and generally flail incoherently over the show.
They had the chance to do THE most crunchy delicious parallel of all time with Cas being the one to pull Dean out of Hell being repaid by Dean being the one to pull Cas out of the Empty and have it all come full circle
THINGS JENSEN ROSS ACKLES SAID SINCE SUPERNATURAL ENDED (paraphrasing):
CROSSROADS 6:
The advice season 15 Dean would give season 4 Dean: appreciate Cas more. Because he'd prove to be the best friend and biggest ally.
JIB 11:
I hope we will get a chance to see that [Dean and Cas' reunion]. I think it would look like we all hope it would. There would be an embrace and then Dean would be like: Can we talk about that goodbye for a minute?
SPNVAN 2022:
I didn’t say anything - I didn’t give him anything. And what I had in my head was, I should have said "I love you too” and hugged him.
NASHVILLE 2023:
Dean's biggest regret was that he couldn't save Cas.
i genuinely believe that dean’s repression when it comes to cas isn’t because cas is man shaped but more from the fact that it’s cas. that’s his best friend. someone who’s so devoted to him it hurts sometimes. a being built to love god but loves dean more.
Not that he couldn't save his mother??? Not that he couldn't save his dad??? Not that he couldn't save his brother from Hell???? Not that he couldn't save the lives of ALL their family and friends???? Not even that he died on that ridiculous, insulting, absurd rusty rebar??? Dean's biggest regret according to Jensen Ross Ackles is not being able to save Cas????!!!!
Despite the fact that as soon as I set up my drawing stuff I fell asleep with my head on the table, this turned out okay!
I used these, mostly:
Well, I used three of them anyway - the top left pinky brown, the dark purple and the bottom right pale pink. They're Rembrandt pastels - a Desert Palette set. They're soft pastels, but not as soft as the really expensive ones. I used them on their sides, marking in areas of shadow and light and smudging with my fingers and then used the edges to get some lines for his profile, eye etc. So, it was mostly done before I used pastels pencils, in colours as close as I have:
These are Stabilo Carbothello pastel pencils, which are nice and soft and about £1.80 each.
Finally, I used one of my favourite General's charcoal pencils in 6B. These are such lovely pencils. Yum.
Anyway, I may have lost part of my inner workings and recovery may take a while, (and there'll be more chemo coming up - sigh...) but I can still draw! And actually, full disclosure, - because I think such things should be talked about and not hidden away - I now have an ileostomy (look it up). Which isn't as awful as you might think and I'm still going to the Comic Con in two weeks time, so there!
Castiel literally told dean winchester he was in love with him and then gave his life to save him. He regretted waiting 10 years to tell him. He thought he was beautiful. Dean regretted not having said it back. His biggest regret was not being able to save cas. This is FUCKED im going to watch supernatural again
