The show would be completely different. They’d have to do romantic story-lines like Dean refusing to leave purgatory without Cas and Cas being brainwashed until the power of Dean’s love for him overcomes it. And instead of Dean always using straight rock aliases he’d sometimes use a queer rocker like Freddie Mercury. Clearly there is no room in this show for Dean and Cas to be in that kind of relationship.
Seriously, can you imagine Dean giving Cas a mixtape of his favorite zeppelin songs? Or Cas saying “I love you” followed by “I love all of you” to make it clear that the first one was meant for Dean? Dean calling cas sunshine? No this is ridiculous, the change would be drastic , they can’t do that.
I just can’t imagine it. Picture Cas killing a reaper just because he didn’t want Dean and his family to die. Just the thought of Dean searching for Cas day in and day out when he’s missing and Dean all worried and leaving messages in Cas’s phone… It just seems a little too much, ya know
And Dean would be angry every time Cas puts himself in danger (because he would be so scared to lose him), so much that it makes Sam uncomfortable. Maybe even it would be so obvious that OTHER characters would notice their affection, and use it against them! (Can you imagine something like that?!)
No, this is the kind of romantic silliness that can’t happen in SPN, it’s not that kind of a TV show! smh
Not to forget that if Cas ever got killed Dean would completely break down and forget everything, even imminent threats that could vanquish the whole world – instead just falling on his knees next to Cas’ corpse, unable to do anything else.
Man, that would be so disgusting.
Guys, I just found this manip of Dean with tears in his eyes asking CAS to stay with him and Sam.
No, this is not ok, stop it guys, we are just hurting ourselves, we won’t see this kind of scene in spn,forget it.
But if Destiel did become canon it would seem so out of the blue ya know?
We would have really needed some good build up first…
Maybe two seasons where the undercurrent revolves around Dean’s love for Cas being romantic and not fraternal, having half the episodes starting and finishing with Dean increasingly worrying about Cas and Sam being put in the supportive brother role, maybe even having the whole plot line of the big bad making no sense at all if Cas is not in love with Dean and vice-versa and them being used to supernaturally contact each other through their hearts and being used against each other as bait.
Maybe as Dean’s facade starts to come down towards his endgame things between them start to appear more romantic, meanwhile we would need some kind of reason why Cas has never acted on his feelings before now, perhaps he is forbidden by Heaven or something?
Then maybe just to hammer it home after a one sided love declaration an exchange of a mixtape in return or something just as tropey and notice-worthy to ensure it’s shown as a romantic relationship…
But until we get that it wouldn’t really make sense!
In every Southern state (didn’t have time to look at the rest of the country) you can find some sort of studio apartment for around $500 per month, sometimes less than that. Why bother lying about something so easily disproven?
Because Bernie Sanders supporters aren’t going to fact check him, and they’ll ignore any contrary evidence that’s presented to them anyways.
Things like this really tick me off and It’s not political or anything but it’s the fact that you think all that money is there. Here’s what I mean;
That weekly check comes to, according to you, 290. Most places DO NOT pay for your half hour lunch that is required by law. So your beginning number was wrong. $7.25 x 7.5 hours a day x 5 days a week only gets you $271.88.
Most people in America get paid bi-weekly, so let’s double it to get the budget. $543.75. That’s GROSS, not NET. Out of that comes anywhere between 10% and 15% taxes depending on state so we’ll low ball it at 10%. Automatically down to $489.38 a pay check. Now health insurance. Usually anywhere from 70-100 a pay check for the cheapest plans. Again, we’ll low ball and go $70. So now we have $419.39 a paycheck. x 2 = $839.
Eight hundred thirty nine dollars. A MONTH.
But again, you seem to think that’s fair. So let’s proceed. You say rent is $500? Okay. This person now has $339 left to buy groceries for the whole month, pay utilities, car payment, car insurance, and gas money to get to work.
Those are the bare needs. You have to eat. You have to pay for heat, water, garbage removal, gas and or electricity because apartments do not always include things and rarely all of the above. Most cities in America do not have public transportation. Mine doesn’t despite the fact that our population is over 15,000 people, not counting a taxi. If you have a car, you have to pay that. If you have a car, legally you have to have car insurance. You have to pay that. You have to have gas in that car to get to work to make that money.
Now if you can tell me you can get all of that out of $339 you’re lying.
You are so focused on rent that you aren’t thinking about everything else people have to pay for. Rent was an example. This is a breakdown of the budget you gave me and it’s not possible to live off that in 2017 America.
And BECAUSE this person makes over $800 a month, they probably won’t qualify for financial aid or food stamps. $800 is the line in my state where they won’t help you. No food stamps, financial aid, or government housing if you make more than $800 a month.
Why does it bother you that people deserve to live above the poverty line?
Sam Winchester is called Sam because Kripke originally based him on Sal Paradise, a character in On The Road based on Jack Kerouac himself. But Kripke didn’t want to call him Sal, so he changed it to Sam.
(Dean is based on Dean Moriarty from On The Road, who is in turn based on Neal Cassady)
And yeah, Lucifer’s original name was Samael (depending on the version of the story, there’s multiple reasons he was also or subsequently called Lucifer).
Kripke’s original intent for the series, which he continued to repeat throughout the first several seasons of the show, was that angels were never something he intended to include in the Supernatural mythology. That only changed after s3.
So no, I don’t think Sam being named Sam had anything to do with Lucifer. It is convenient in hindsight though. 🙂
(Also, John Winchester was originally intended to be named “Jack”– presumably after Kerouac– but there was already a real person named Jack Winchester living in Kansas at the time and they had to change it for legal reasons. And the original family name from the first drafts of the script was “Harrison” which just sounds all kinds of wrong now. But in my AU version of the Supernatural movie Dean was acting in in The Exception to Every Rule, I borrowed the surname Harrison for his character. :P)

The next time someone tells you to “Take a joke” or that “it’s just a joke” or that “Comedy is supposed to be offensive”, show them this. If they can’t distinguish between punching up and punching down, they’re not tolerable.
“If someone hates you, they will come up with a reason after the fact.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS.

“It always begins as a joke. Listen to me, both of you.
“One sees a father or mother of whom they do not approve – and their brats won’t shut up, and the parents are so exhausted that they just let their children scream, all sticky and crying and hitting and wild.
“And you say to your friends, ‘You should have to pass a test to breed.’ Do you understand? ‘You should have to get licensed to have kids.’
“It starts as a joke.
“Then perhaps there is a tragedy. A postpartum who should’ve gotten help, but her insurance did not cover the therapy. A father who erred, because he was raised believing men are pathetic if they are caregivers.
“The first tests are drafted. And you think, ‘Good.’ You think, ‘Those children will be safe now.’
“The test comes out, and yes, there’re some problems, but nothing that cannot be ironed out, yes?
“But now anyone with a mental illness, with a criminal record, is barred from becoming a parent, and you think, ‘Well, that is sensible, yes?’ Because you’ve never known anyone like that, so who is to tell you they are not like they are portrayed in stories?
“Sick, dangerous, criminal – these words expand.
“Suddenly it is anyone with diabetes, anyone with cancer, because they could die and leave their children orphaned, so how dare they ever try to have children?
“It is deaf couples, disabled couples, interracial couples, gay couples – because don’t they know how hard they’re making it for their children?
“Then it is whoever they want.
“You think you are working for the greater good. You can’t even fathom the life of someone who isn’t exactly like you.
“Then one day – it is you. Some gene, some history, some past behavior – and suddenly, you are too sick, dangerous, criminal.
“Because the truth is this: human hate can adapt to anything.
“You think you are safe. But if someone hates you, they will come up with the reason after the fact.
“Only then do you realize what you put in power. Only then do you realize what you stripped away.
“There is terrible power in a joke, in a story, in taking the truth and making it ugly.
