.........Wat. Dean is VERY straight and Castiel is an amorphous asexual agender "beyond human comprehension" concept possessing a human body. Just because Jimmy the dude he's possessing is a dude doesn't make it a dude. That's been a thing the whole series with demons swapping from male/female bodies and seducing people in both. Cas doesn't have a gender, or sex, or preference. Did tumblr go THAT fucking crazy over gay sex in supernatural they turned an agender asexual philosophical embodiment of an idea into a romantic love symbol? Holy reaching, Batman. Literally

If you watched that many seasons and you didn't see the Castiel and Dean queerbaiting, you are never going to see queerbaiting

SPOILERS AHEAD

lived an entire life together, decades, kids, I sobbed. And then they killed one of them right before they could get together. THATS the shit you should be upset about. Not this weird ass very clearly fanfiction between a straight man and an asexual.

Here's a good breakdown of The Last Great American Queerbait (yes that's a nickname for Supernatural): https://youtu.be/-Q0eX9Rrah0 And here's a video about all the problematic queer representation in the show: https://youtu.be/XPgrZTax5Nw

Really funny that you bring up The Magicians actually because Sera Gamble was a showrunner in both shows #girlBoss #queerbaitingQueen

I REALLY REALLY wanted Q and Eli to get together at the end. Fucking peaches and plums man
