His absolute disbelief and hurt that Dean backs away (even if not willingly) when he is hurt
Supernatural - 2.09 Croatoan
The hate being thrown at Jared is nauseating. Honest to God, disgusting, vile and truly upsetting. I KNOW there is a lot of animosity towards the royals, but there is ZERO excuse to heap hate and threats on someone for offering condolences.
You need to re-examine your lives. Seriously, people reveal themselves during times like these. People are celebrated online for being disgusting humans because… ya know… funny internet I do what I want energy.
I’m tired of online bullies who for SOME GOD FORSAKEN REASON keep getting validated by others because NO ONE wants to stand up to them. You’re not cute. You’re not edgy or funny. You’re pathetic. Jared’s deserves this because why? He was beIng a decent human being?? What kind of fucked up backwards world are we in that angry unstable people get more support then genuinely decent people?
Sam actually digs for it, really wanting to know if he was the main theme of Dean's soul distress.
Sam: Hey, you said the Soul Eater made you see things. Plural. So… what else did you see? Dean: I saw you. Dead on the floor. Sam: Hmm. Dean: What? Sam: How messed up are our lives that you seeing a vision of dead me is actually kind of comforting? Dean: Yeah.
Because Sam is comforted by the reassurance that he is part of Dean's soul. That what the Soul Eater showed Dean to put him in a state of distress was Sam dead on the floor, not anyone or anything else, Sam.
This calls back to what I said about Love Hurts (11x13) and how weird that last scene of that episode hits. Because it really felt like Sam was bothered that the Qareen appeared to Dean as Amara and not... I don't know, him? And now he is relieved that the Soul Eater at least verified his place as Most Important to Dean.
Sam's expressions :)

Turns out the horsemen of the Apocalypse now prefer to go by Shareholder Profit, Private Equity, Corporate Personhood, and Workforce Optimization.
Let's see. Jensen worked for a vast majority of his acting life on this character and it is probably the one he will be known for, unless he goes on to make one even more iconic.
Guess what supernatural is often called, especially by some people who are tapped a bit into online spaces? The gay angel thing. Hellers have been so loud about destiel that people are misled about the content of the show and the importance of a side character. Why would Jensen, as an actor who anyway cannot escape from all this destiel noise, want to let it becomes worse so that the show and his character is entirely overrun?
He has stated that he doesn't have an issue with fan fiction so long as it remains there. The OP sounds bitter about him bringing up wincest and so on, as if both items are not equally fanon. One scene out of the blue suddenly changed things (I doubt it did for most of the GA - my take was Angelic love, not gay), and now he is blamed for things he said way way ("not played it that way") before that scene. And even hellers agree that he didn't play "that scene" that way! They are still salty at the lack of acknowledgement. Which is extra ironic given that the core of that scene was that happiness was in the knowing and not needing the having. So essentially the hellers are being whiny incels here. There I said it.
i have been a supernatural fan for over ten years and i have known for a while that jensen has never been a fan of destiel, which would be completely fine if he didn't always react uncomfortable and downright disgusted every time someone mentions it and / or the possibility of dean being queer. i have seen him become very defensive and even hostile when asked questions about these things at conventions. to this day jensen (& jared) STILL vehemently call castiel's confession "platonic" and "brotherly" while the writers, showrunners and misha explicitly called it a romantic confession of love.
my problem with jensen's behaviour is that it seems to be rooted in very toxic masculinity and the fragility of it. he has called emotional writing "unmanly" and "effeminate" and "something dean would never say to another man"; he was glad that dean didn't share many scenes with castiel in season 9; he desperately wanted destiel "to go away" and something else that really irks me: so many times when destiel was talked about, he brought up wincest, as if that is in any way the same. he seems to associate queerness with unmanliness, weakness and something to be uncomfortable about.
i can understand that destiel extremists have insulted his wife, insinuated ridiculous things happened between actors etc but this is no excuse for his downright homophobic comments and behaviour. he can also imagine dean however he wants and i know he thinks he understands dean better than anyone but it's so sad to me how much he seems to limit dean in who he could be TO OTHER PEOPLE. who does it harm if a bunch of bi people see themselves in him and his behaviour? i thought jensen understood just how much dean hid from everyone. it makes me sad that he seems to want to forbid other people from interpreting dean differently than he does.
he should really take some time to reflect if dean winchester's non-canon sexuality is really worth coming across homophobic for.
