Rob: We got this question that we’ve been avoiding because it’s a lot of words. When Castiel is talking  to Dean in a truck about being human, the line that was aired is a different line that the script reads.

Ben Edlund: Sure.

Rob: So the line that aired is, Castiel says “I used to belong to much better club and now I’m powerless, I’m hapless , I’m hopeless, I mean, why the hell not bury myself in women and in decadence, right? It’s the end, baby, that’s what decadence is for. Why not bang a few gongs before the lights go out. But then, that’s just how I roll.” But the script reads “But instead we become this. The only thing, I think,  we have left, Dean and me, is each other. If Dean says it’s time to get out in the blaze of glory, win or loose, so be it. I’m in, but then, that’s just how I roll.” It’s just an interesting little difference.

Rich: Well somebody had to rewrite that, right?

Ben Edlund: Sure, I mean, like that was either a rewrite based on a note or something that- it’s possible that there was a shift in language that came from a pass through Kripke. To me that feels like a rewrite based on “ Ok, we know what the subtext is, bury it a little bit.” 

Rob: Gotcha.

Ben Edlund: Because, you know, it’s more interesting to know that an then have language kind of be less to the core. I mean, maybe not, sometimes you really want to go to that core.  But it didn’t seem necessary in that moment because look at the larger context. This guy is still hanging around. He’s going on a mission. And previously in the prior scene when he’s kind of like, when we used the word insouciant for the first and last time in Supernatural’s history. I believe, unless it gets quoted later in 15 seasons and I missed that. At that point he is totally ride or die with Dean. He’s basically “You say we a going on a suicide mission and there’s no hope or whatever” and Dean’s going “Yes, that’s what I’m saying” and he goes “Okay, let me go get the truck.” And so, in a sense, it was like- I would’ve done the same thing today. If that makes sense. Looking at the whole. 

Rob: I like the idea of burying it more and not serving it on a platter. Letting people- 

Ben Edlund: Mainly because all the other aspects of that story tell us that. Show us that, actually. That’s the whole thing. Show us, not tell us. I’ve heard that at some kind of seminar.

If you're in a fandom and one of the characters turns out to be bisexual, know that Dean Winchester's shadow will always lurk in the background.

He's like the possessed old spirit haunting the old house where new people keep moving in despite the horror stories.

It might be theirs now but the 200 year old grandma still turns up in the mirrors at 3am to remind them whose house it first was like:

I’m sorry the fact that when Castiel pulled Dean out of Hell he proclaimed “Dean Winchester has been saved” with such force that it broke through Anna’s humanity to the angelic part of her mind is something we don’t talk about enough actually

Sometimes i think “maybe destiel really was just in my head” and then i see a gif of dean looking at cas like THAT and im look oop nvm that boys in love

‘destiel is queerbait’ ‘destiel is canon and therefore not queerbait’

wrong. destiel defies regular definitions of canon and queerbait and in fact it’s both because of the sheer chaos going on in that writers room,, like one writer was doing heartfelt canon destiel, another one was only doing destiel for the bit, another one was doing queerbait destiel, another one was doing unrequited destiel, another one was actively trying to undermine someone else’s work and view of the pairing, and I could go on

Star Wars was a western set in space and Supernatural was pitched as Star Wars set in the American West. ... .

tangled gave us so much, but mostly it gave us the beautiful and intense love of a horse and the man he is chasing in order to imprison

@introverted-wannabewriter Literally why is spn so goddamn dumb for a show that's so goddamn intelligent. It's getting on my nerves.

Hard agree, but I am always left to wonder why spn is so smart for a show that is so dumb.

[deanwasalwaysbi]

castiel being described as a 'seriously bad mofo' in lazarus rising is so funny when you find out that he basically gave up everything for gay love just to be sentenced to superhell

mf was 'seriously down bad'

.... do the young boopers know about the Facebook poke

[deanwasalwaysbi]

You are the ultimate booper.

WHAT THE HECK IS A SUPER BOOP

*boop*

@deanwasalwaysbi if you're on the desktop version of Tumblr and you go to someone's profile and hover your cursor over the boop button, after a few seconds a little animation will play and when you click it will be a super boop! 😁

*boops back*

[deanwasalwaysbi]

my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw

[deanwasalwaysbi]

Looking at your boops (respectfully)
