Talking about why this scene was rewritten/cut. Says he would get notes saying they know what the subtext is, bury it, use language less to the core but he wants to go straight to the core. Says its still clear Castiel is totally ride or die by Dean. He has to show it not tell it.
You were not crazy, folks, and I need to lie down.

what do you mean ben edlund confirmed destiel was a thing they had to write around bc the subtext was too obvious on the same day we found out the yuri on ice movie was cancelled. what in the equivalent exchange is going on

that one post talking about how supernatural fans know each writer by name and have an opinion on them and it’s like well yeah. one was writing destiel explicitly in the last few seasons, one is on twitter in 2024 saying that he did perceive destiel throughout his time of writing, and the others thought it was appropriate for the night we met by lord huron to be playing while writing a scene between two brothers. like where do you even go with this.

"Show us, not tell us."
~Supernatural Then and Now podcast. BONUS CLIP: Ben Edlund Talks
They couldn't TELL US. So they kept SHOWING US. Over and over and over again.
Dean and Cas loved each other. They were IN LOVE. BOTH OF THEM. Dean was never allowed to "tell us" but he "showed us" constantly.
"Ok, we know what the subtext is, bury is a little bit"

thinking about how the only time bobby and cas interact in season four is when he knocks him out cold to talk to dean alone. and the next time bobby sees him, cas is powerless and just comes to steal dean's necklace in a weird interaction that had to be filmed close-up because dean and cas are just inches from each other's face. the next time is an offscreen interaction where he just gets dean's address from bobby and probably left immediately after. combine this with the fact that bobby knew dean had a male siren the season before (and tried to be supportive) and let cas be in the family photo a few episodes later, there is a nonzero chance bobby singer was the first destiel shipper.

in 2021 we would have considered ben edlund saying he entertained the possibility of destiel as another “destiel just went canon” event. just fyi
