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.

I guess flirting doesn’t work on everybody
This is important, though.
What ever you think the intent behind Dean’s flirting with dudes is (usually it’s to get information and get the job done, let’s be real), it’s indisputable that he does do it. Saying Dean doesn’t flirt with dudes is like saying he doesn’t make circles with the salt.
The fact that this exists and Dean’s Bisexuality still isn’t canon is probably the funniest thing in the world.
I mean, I love posse.
#Oh my sweet precious insecure overcompensating bisexual child (via)
I have one addition to this perfect post
oftentimes when sam and dean have parallel story lines, sam’s is romantic (left) while dean’s is with men (right). i think it says a lot about the types of relationships they each crave and also
dean likes dudes the endJust gonna tack on a few more, here:
vs.
and
vs.
and (even tho Sam’s isn’t “romantic” in this one, he still matched paired with a woman, versus Dean, who gets paired a man. Again.)
vs.
Also, somehow, whenever they want to put one of them in an overtly queer situation, its virtually always Dean, whereas Sam usually gets tasked with something more ‘neutral’
Sam recognizes an ARM tattoo
vs. Dean, who checks out the guy’s NAKED GROIN for a birthmark
Here we have Sam counseling Charlie with Harry Potter lore
vs Dean, who councils her through flirting with a dude
Sam gets sent to the library for research
whereas Dean gets sent to a bar to be hit on by Aaron
“it WASN’T EVEN GOOD CAKE, too dry”
not only does Dean LIKE CAKE, he has CAKE STANDARDS, he has a CAKE ~TYPE
omg this is beautiful!
Oh my GOD. “So sammy. You know I love Pie right? But what if I also liked…
Sorry to be That Guy but man, I cannot get over the silent dialogue these two have going on. There’s that moment that Dean knows he’s on the hook and has only seconds to decide what to do.
His first instinct, of course, is to make excuses, slap the controls to turn it off, and bluster about how awful (read: unmanly) that was like he did in that deleted scene from 8.20. You can see it in the way he opens his mouth and snaps it shut again, how he steels himself to glance at Sam.
And then there’s Sam’s prompting gesture: “Hey, this crap’s still on, turn it off! You’re not just gonna let that play in the Impala, are you?!”
That’s when he makes his decision. Yeah. Yeah he is just gonna let that play. As Castiel once quoted him: why the Hell not? He’s already copped to liking it in the first place, and so much the better if it pesters his little brother.
This is the first glimmer of S8!Dean we’ve seen in a long while. I’m inclined to consider it Dean’s way of agreeing with the optimism that Sam displayed in the beginning of the episode: he does still have the capacity to grow and improve and get better. Possibly the most important element of this is that it indicates Dean himself believes that what “getting better” truly means is not aping his brother’s “health nut” lifestyle, but being his own person: out from under John’s shadow, outside the rigid box of macho Male Platonic Ideal gender performance he’s been stuffed into, out in the open about things he likes for the sheer sake of them being enjoyable.
And if you zeroed in on the number of times I said “out” in that sentence you are right on track.
10/10 for the commentary. It explains so well why this made me ridiculously happy tonight. I literally squealed and did a fist-pump when he left it on. It felt like a victory. This is the Dean I love. I get all tingly just thinking about it ❤
