its-super-unnatural reblogged your post:Dean really wants that cake lol.
This takes me back to the idea that cake is a parallel to Cas, and Dean has been liking cake A LOT more than usual…
I like Scout’s comic too, but I think I’m the…
Now I’m totally on board with the cake = Cas/bi!Dean metaphor (I’m a Destiel shipper), but as a straight person, please forgive my ignorance when I ask what “cake” means in non-straight circles? 🙂
Cake=ass. The use of cake for ass is old as hell.
And suddenly this scene from Clueless pops into my head, haha. (I promise I don’t get all my info from 90s teen romcoms! But it must be mainstream enough for this, at least…)
But more generally, yes, I think it stands in for every unexpected thing that Dean wants and that he’s had to deny himself, whether because some crisis prevented him from having it (10×12) or because his family caused him to give it up (10×15).
Well fuck me. I had no idea that was a thing.
Though it seems ‘cakeboy’ has evolved to mean ‘metrosexual’ rather than homosexual – so if the writers are in the know about these associations with cake they could just be using it to represent Dean’s feminine traits.
For me, I see it as encompassing all the parts of Dean that he considers feminine/unmanly, which is generally stuff he thinks it’s wrong/weak to like and to want and to be. Ergo, that covers ‘metrosexual’ stuff, and ALSO bisexuality/liking guys.
…wait… Isn’t “pie” for vagina also a thing?
It is. Holy crap.
