I’ve been thinking a lot about Destiel, since one of my friends said that she can just as easily ship Cas with Sam, since the three of them are the only characters that appear in every episode. She has a good point, but then I realised, the reason we ship Destiel more than Sastiel (nothing wrong with that btw) is because the way the show is written/edited/filmed makes everything to do with Cas connected to DEAN.
