If you watched Supernatural, really watched it, and you thought Destiel was going to happen, you played yourself. Simple as that.
And if you think you were owed anything … literally anything … from any show, particularly for the main characters to become completely different characters just to suit you, grow the hell up. Nobody owed you shit.
Meanwhile, the show ended how it should:

Watching a reactor on YouTube who just got to Season 4: Lazarus Rising, and I’m so annoyed by the amount of comments with people saying things like, "this is when the series REALLY starts" and "Seasons 1-3 were the prologue, now The Story begins" and "I’ve been waiting for you to meet my favorite character!"
First, I will never be able to understand Castiel being someone's legitimate favorite character. I just don’t get it. He starts off as a massive dick, becomes an ally, uses and betrays both brothers a number of times, rarely takes full responsibility for his actions, and ends up as a totally different and neutered version of himself. But this guy is your favorite!? The only reason I think a large number of fans who love him do is because he comes in the gate treating Sam like crap and he becomes a simp for Dean (or they are shippers). Also, if someone is a more casual fan, I can see enjoying Cass because he’s quirky and he mostly stands up for the Winchesters, but if someone is a big fan of the brothers, Cass makes their lives harder a lot of the time. Also, I’m coming to really hate the fact that the dude is always in a trench coat. How am I supposed to take a character seriously who is essentially like an unchanging cartoon character come to life? Anyway, despite how it might sound from my ranting, I actually do think people are allowed to love whatever character they want, but it just doesn’t compute for me personally that it’s Cass as he is on screen (not in someone’s head).
Next, the idea of people calling the first three seasons "The Prologue" to supernatural is offensive to me personally (well, not offensive but it’s dumb as hell). A prologue is used to give some important background that should be known for you to better understand the main story, but it happened before, or doesn’t quite fit into, the main narrative. I’m sorry, but the first three seasons of Supernatural are the foundation that everything builds off of, and maybe I’m splitting hairs here, but it’s not just the set up to the Real Story. The Real Story of Supernatural has always been and will always be "the epic love story of Sam and Dean," not the angel crap. Calling the basis of the whole show the prologue has an implied message that it’s not as important as, or connected to the rest of the story. Again, people are allowed to have their own opinions about what they enjoy in media, but this idea that what came before Season 4 wasn’t as important as the rest of the show is actually bad media literacy, especially when you consider how much retconning and inconsistency later seasons have (*cough* John Winchester, for exapmle). The early seasons are Supernatural at its most pure, and if you don’t like or care about Sam and Dean's story, what are you doing here?
I was going to go on by listing all of the important things that we learn about Sam and Dean's characters and relationship in the first three seasons, but honesty, I’m tired. If you’re reading my post, I’m sure you already know. True fans of the show, even if seasons 1 to 3 aren’t their favorite, know how important these seasons are. Frankly, if someone claims that they don’t matter as much as the later season, then I’m going to assume that they are probably a heller (and I’m probably right), thus their opinions on the show don’t matter.
Speaking of Hellers, they are the Jehovah’s Witnesses of fandom. They descend on your doorstep (YouTube video, blog post, etc), uninvited and unwelcome, to make you uncomfortable by forcing their literature (head-canons and subtext) on you in a vain attempt to make you convert to their twisted version of a cult religion (Destiel). Some get indoctrinated into their cult, others consider them a joke, and yet others are driven to madness by the constant hounding of the hellers. I wish they would just stay in their lane and let people come to their own conclusions about the show and the characters, but they try to gatekeep the fandom experience by jumping on anyone new and telling them how they are the "most popular ship" and that supernatural queerbaits, but Dean and Cass are still totes husbands, and there is some other guy there, too but Sam is just some jerk who isn’t as important as Wuwu Dean and their Little Meow Meow Cass. If somone actually sees and enjoys Destiel on their own, great, good for them; they’ll find the blogs and groups who love it too. Hellers don’t need to try actively recruiting people. It’s all just a numbers gone to them. We have the most fanfic (um, yes, because the show doesn’t deliver what you want), we are the most popular ship (sure, because the other main ship is brothers which squicks some people out, and because you crucify anyone who admits to being a Wincest shipper), and they tell the stupidest lies (the show shifts away from being about the brothers, and focusses more on Dean and Cass' "relationship," and Sam isn’t as important to the story later). I wish they would just stay in their own sandbox and not come pee in everyone else's. Cult like behavior in action.
Okay, deep breaths. I’m grad I got that one off of my chest, but my blog is getting very ranty. I’m going to try make sure my next post is a positive one.
Happy weekend everyone!

Here is a design that has actually been around for quite a bit. Beast Maker! I've actually drawn him in the margins of some things for a while. His fallen angel look has always been codified just never really illustrated properly. So here he is.

jumping on the bandwagon...
10 11 12 BL Boys That I Want Carnally
... or have lusted after at some point in my watching career. (My actor crushes wax and wane over time.)
It looks like everyone else is doing characters, not actors, but I was inspired by @lurkingshan's post which only had gifs no names, so I drew my own conclusions. And I'm rarely attracted to the character—they belong with their partner! or are just someone I wouldn't get along with—so listing actors feels more accurate.
(It was originally 10 because I thought I needed to choose only one of the Guardian boys, but then I decided why not both. But I didn't wanna delete anyone else. So now it's 11. And then I remembered War so now it's 12.)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lin Zi Hong (Sam Lin) of We Best Love
Jo Hyuk Joon of Blueming
Zhu Yilong of Guardian (can I count it as a BL for the purposes of this list?)
Bai Yu of Guardian (can I count it as a BL for the purposes of this list?)
Man Trisanu Soranun of Step By Step (but only in character) (which is not the same as being attracted to the character)
Meguro Ren of Kieta Hatsukoi
Ji Sung of The Devil Judge (can I count it as BL for the purposes of this list?)
Jung Taek Woon (Leo) second lead of Happy Ending Romance
Shin Myung Sung (side character/second lead) of Happy Merry Ending
Zee Pruk Panich of Why R U? and Cutie Pie
Izuka Kenta of the Pornographer series and Candy Color Paradox
War Wanarat Ratsameerat of Love Mechanics
Because I have to over explain every list I make... These are not necessary the actors I find most beautiful, and there are some actors I think are absolutely insanely gorgeous (e.g. First Kanaphan, PP Krit, and Matsuoka Koudai) that I'm just not attracted to, sometimes because they seem too young, sometimes just because.

“The show is about FouND FAmiLY!"
I’m sorry you missed the point, hellers (and whoever else needs to see this). But Supernatural is primarily (not only) about the relationship between two hot, weirdo brothers who are obsessed with each other to the point of turning their backs on friends and blowing up the world, if necessary.
But … but … “Family don’t end in blood…"
Except when it does, which it does all the time. Because Sam and Dean are blood. And their family begins and ends with them (and to some extent their parents, who are also blood).
Sorry you hate the truth (and the show that you pretend to obsess over).

Supernatural, but Sam and Dean hug more. Like, they hug every time one of them leaves to follow a spectate lead on a case (or goes out to get beer, or leave the room in general).
For example:
Sam and Dean have to separate to look into different leads on a case:
(Okay, so this actually happened. At least twice).
.
Sam gets back from picking up groceries, and he remembered the pie:
.
Dean went for groceries and finally got Sam veggie bacon
.
Dean goes to bed before Sam:
.
Sam and Dean finally get through that pesky door that had them separated for two minutes:
