Sorry guys, I guess I had the wrong video in mind when I originally posted this. Though he did talk about feminism and the female degradation in the show, this video is just his take on Destiel. Still a great video though!
Misha: Profound bound
Audience: *claps and cheers and screams like banshees*
The whole time, poor Misha trying to discreetly answer that question. At the end,"They love each other, but it's purely sexual." He's just done, haha! :D
Aw... This video makes me feel so bad for Misha... He seems to listen more to the fans than anyone else, so he seems to take it the most to heart when the fans are unhappy with something... He's trying so hard to keep everyone happy and not offend anybody... For most of this video he looks completely terrified :(
ST yeah
People keep assuming that if Misha and Jensen don't like Destiel, it has to be because they hate gays... When Misha has officiated gay weddings etc as he points out.
"Do they love each other? Probably" and "they love each other. But it's purely sexual" killed me omg misha ilysm😂😂😂😭
Let's be real... if Destiel ever became canon, the media would experience one hell'a apocalypse. And not sure which side would win.
destiel being Canon is like breaking the 66th fuckin seal on the door to a fandom war
It's like the fight between Michael and Lucifer
GUESS WHAT BITCHHHHH
Jeeesus... How is this even real?
Hey so it's canon. Also, it is how I found out about this show. All of my social media were just FLOODED with celebration...and mourning.
"what am I, a politician?" one of the many reasons I love Misha
he handled this question so much better than jensen did. even though he isn't 100% for destiel, he answered in a way that was good for everyone there. misha was thoughtful of the feelings of everyone in the room and this is one of the things that makes him such a great guy.
no problem! :D i was glad i could help
I just love the last line though "they love eachother, but its purely sexual" IM DYING OF LAUGHTER OVER HERE
I really do love how Misha talks about Dean and Cas' bond. It *is* complex, and it *is* some form of love, even if it is unconventional--which it is, no matter how you perceive it. I totally understand where he's going with this, and it's wonderful that he acknowledges that there are so many different kinds of love. Just because it isn't easily labelled doesn't mean it isn't real.
Destiel is literally the best love story I've ever seen in any TV show, and the very first same sex pair I ever shipped and really wanted to see together. It has SO much potential. Honestly. If Cas was a girl, I swear Dean and her would have already kissed, and more. There just would be no denying anything, and there would be less people saying the pairing is wrong/gross/impossible/fantasy/delusional etc.. Of course, there would still be people who hated it, or didn't like it, but there would just be no denyhing that there's something there (like Ron/Hermione, for example, which I didn't like, but still, it was totally there and there was no denying). And there would be all the Destiel drama that is happening now, but with actual love comfirmed, you know. And the show would totally use the relationship more to benefit and create a lot of drama too, like between Sam and Dean, and Dean and the hunting community and even the plot, etc. It would certainly bring a lot of interest. Man, Destiel just has so much potential, why can't they see it? x(
I have to admit that I am just starting with the series now and Castiel hasn't even shown up yet, but I've dug a lot into this ship and I love it already even though I still haven't seen it on-screen. weird I know. :P
I read your comment and I just want to say that, coming from the Sherlock fandom, I am a huge Johlock shipper and everything you just said can apply perfectly to that ship as well. Bottom line is - our society is conditioned to think/see through heteronormative glasses. And it pisses me off. Because just like you said - if one of those two characters was female, there would be no denying of the sexual tension at all and a *_S I N G L E_* scene would be enough for everybody to say they're 'ohmygod so much totally in love and into each other!!!!!' Hypocrites much?
Karrie Dreammind I just met Cas this week in the show but I was shipping way before that I was so excited to finally see him on screen. Also I'm a huge Johnlock shipper.
Karrie Dreammind i did the same thing. and from the second i saw them on screen together... i knew.
and i fell desperately in love with Cas.
+Maria_Desiree you have worded this so well!!! I agree 100% :D
HereForTheShips it would also create a lot of tention between Cass and the Angle's, yet I still ship Destile 100%!
"Read into it what you will"
He's not denying it... XD
Misha is the biggest shipper of them all
I feel that if Destiel was made canon for real, it wouldn't be as good as the fans can imagine. The writers can't understand what it's really about, because the fans were the first ones to see it and believe in it.
Agreed
hmm. Interesting thought. Never thought about it because I would love to have at least a "short-time" Destiel maybe at the end of the show or something like that. But yes, if the writers would write it, how would they write it? There are so many fanfics out there, so many ways to view Destiel. How to satisfy all these fans? And what about those who hate the idea of Dean and Cas being romantically involved? ^^
Laughing in 2020
Oh honey you got a big storm coming
this comment hits so different now....
Why does everyone keep arguing that cas and dean can't happen cause dean is straight. Let me remind everyone that cas is not a man or woman he is an angel. If cas for some reason had to use a female vessel THEN would everyone ship Cas and Dean? Overall supernatural has just done terribly with romance, dean and cas would be the only romance worth happening compared to all those terrible one shot girlfriends that happened
I agree. But if cas use a female vessel then misha won't be in the show. Fans won't like that.
ah, but if it's temporary. Like the fandoms' wet dream of their being a gender swap episode.
I love you for this
compelling argument youtube
AnimatorNinja PREACH IT. PREACH!!!
Destiel is such a difficult topic in this fandom, while i am a die hard destiel shipper, I don't ship it because of hints or clues I saw in the show, I merely ship it because I like to see them in a deep and strong relationship.
There are scenes where it COULD have been subtext, but frankly, these scenes can all be explained with a profound bound or just two best friends loving each other like brothers.
So it makes me feel understandably uncomfortable, when people acuse the writers or misha of queerbaiting. Yeah they said "wait and see" when talking about destiel, but you guys have to know there are always two sides of wait and see.
1. Wait and see how it becomes canon
2. Wait and see how it does not
Maybe, the writers thought about making destiel canon but for some reasons they decided not to, and since they are the writers I think they have a good reason not to. But of course, I have no idea if its true or not.
It hurts me a lot when destiel shippers are harassing the actors/writers and are insulting them. (I am not talking about politely critizing - that is good).
I think some destiel shippers should just stop making the actors uncomfortable, ship destiel, read fanfiction, make destiel videos, do whatever you want to do but please when you talk to actors about it - be polite, and dont get mad when they say something you dont want to hear.
Steve Wiggles I agree! Even if it hurts I have to admit every hint or clue is explainable with strong friendship. I ship them anyway, but I have the feeling nothing will ever happen...
You're right. I ship Destiel, I would love to have it canon (at least one episode or at the end of the show or spin-off or whatever), but when it does make the actors (for example Jensen) uncomfortable then stop harassing them! Asking about Destiel WON'T make it canon!
But unlike you I ship Destiel because for me there are several Destiel-moments in the show, but that's just my opinion. Of course there are people who interpret their scenes as bromance. Took me till season 6 until I started shipping but later on I noticed for myself some Destiel-moments in season 4 & 5 after watching it again.
And btw: why such hate between Destiel-shippers and those who doesn't ship it? That's so unnecessary and stupid. For me if people who think of them as bromance and give me good reasons then I love to read even those opinions even though I'll never agree to this opinion (sry xD)
It was supposed to happen, but jensen wasnt comfortable with it, so they couldnt do it. The actors have to be comfortable with things like this in order for these things to happen.
Agree
Misha is all that is good on this Earth. Holy crap he knows how to answer a question. Bravo, Sir. And the ending.. forever dying. xD
Misha confuses me. On Twitter he's all about Destiel but when people ask about it in real life he gets awkward. If Destiel happens, awesome cool. I ship Destiel. But if it doesn't become Canon, whatever. If we shippers like the thought of Destiel, let us. At least we're not going the incest route and shipping Dean and Sam (Wincest)
Wincest died the very episode that Castiel joined. And thus, Destiel was born.
Krystle Martin Agreed!
Drostan Couch Where in that comment did I say Destiel was better than Wincest? I wasn't saying it was at all.
I think the reason Misha gets awkward about the questions in real live is because he doesn’t want to anger anyone. Their are a lot of snipers in the crowd as well as non shippers and a question about a certain ship might anger people that aren’t a part of it or against it. It’s why some panels don’t allow shipping questions, some members of the audience might get angered by the question so actors don’t answer the question in order for their to be peace
@@krystlehope It has never been wincest.
On the point of angels,
there's a difference between sex, gender, and orientation.
Although angels don't express a physical biological sex, they do have a gender identity. They refer to themselves as "she" or "he", and usually take vessels of that gender. ( I say usually, because Raphael had a woman vessel at the end of season 6 )
But if Castiel were to recognize himself as a "woman" would people have a problem with Destiel? No.
I *am* a Destiel shipper, but in my own way. I don't fantasize about Destiel sex, or wish it was canon. I don't want to see a mid-crisis make out session on screen. I like the subtlety of it all. I like that Castiel is confused as to sexual orientation, and Dean has trouble communicating his feelings (platonic or not).
It's mentioned in the show several times that they share a "profound bond", so there is nothing wrong with fans interpreting that as they please.
Just because one shipper writes fanfic doesn't mean we all want to watch this show digress from monsters to sexual tension.
+LucyInTheSky10 I agree with you but I'm afraid that the sexual tension has been there all along! If you don't really see it and you like it that way, though, then be assured that it won't digress to anything... it's already there. Now the tension just needs to break, although I agree with you that it's tricky to time it right and then keep it interesting. The problem with Destiel, though, is that we all know it won't happen. Sort of takes the joy out of the tension when you know it will never break, or worse, it'll fade due to poor writing choices :(
WibblyWobblyEtc I like the tension, but I feel the point of SPN would digress after bringing this relationship to the surface. When it comes to a show that's basically fueled by the fandom, it's important not to do something drastic like that. Of course there are so many of us that love Destiel, but there are also so many that get disgusted at the idea. Like imagine if Wincest was canon. GROSS. Lol I love it the way it is between Dean and Cas :) Leaves more to the imagination!
LucyInTheSky10 but there's a core difference between destiel and wincest... you can't equate a gay ship with an incest ship. plus, the amount of support for destiel is practically at the level of support for major straight ships on other shows. those ships are always hated by some of the fandom too, but the showrunners still go ahead and do it. i'm not usually a very cynical person but no matter which way i look at it, destiel is doomed purely because it's slash and that seems wrong to me.
you're very right, though, that it's fun having just the tension without the drama of a romantic relationship (well there's a fair amount of romantic drama actually but still).
Very very well said 👏🏻👏🏻
This man is a god-send.
Yullenator he is an angel 😂
MISHA SHIPS IT THE HARDEST
someone give this man an award
Agreed. He's being as diplomatic as he possibly can. No matter what he says, someone is going to wind up butthurt about it. I think he handled this very well.
Misha does a beautiful job forming his response and I respect him greatly for it. :)
If the cast can't say what they honestly think about it and fans aren't allowed to mention it at conventions then can someone tell me why the writers and the set designers etc keep putting it in? These characters have chemistry that is undeniable. It's a totally different chemistry than between the brothers. Why not use it? Because it's the U.S . If it was in the UK I am pretty sure they'd have shagged ages ago.
ok but answer this....Why haven't Sherlock and Watson shagged yet?
Maybe we should take Misha and Jensen's feelings into consideration. Are they allowed to feel uncomfortable about touching another man. What about ratings. How many fans are slash fans? Why can't things just be left to one's imagination?
Asutoraru Astral agree. Moffat did say that the fans take the relationship between Sherlock and John out of context. I hate the whole queerbaiting thing tbh
Asutoraru Astral Hannibal actually played with idea of a romantic relationship, nothing sexual between them and thats what is so good about it. Honestly queerbaiting should stop.
Jensen and Misha are professionals. Jensen has played a bisexual character before. I am not talking about sex I am talking about love. A romantic relationship between two characters. It doesn't have to be graphic. And as for giving the actors a say, it rarely happens that way. Jensen said he hated the Dean and Lisa storyline and didn't think it was true to Dean but they went ahead anyway.
MISHA HAS TWO SHADOWS!!!!!😭😥
Let SuperWholock Come true. Castiel is being followed by the Vashta Nerada and its up to Sherlock and the Doctor to save him o3o
Oh my god stop those things scare the crap out of me
I take it the two shadows is a doctor who thing even though it's just how light works with different sources...
+Nerdy Wyoming Girl THE VASHTA NERADA ARE AFTER THE ANGEL
I REPEAT, THE VASHTA NERADA ARE AFTER THE ANGEL
omg !!!!! poor Misha
No matter how many time I watch this video or read the comments even, It's very frustrating to see both everyone's point of view. There's the main things that people people vote for, Destiel, and then the non Destiel shipper's. Now when I first joined watching the show, I didn't expect to see any bond contributing to the fact that Destiel could be real, or that it could not be real. When I first joined in, I thought "Oh yeah, this is gonna be great! Two brothers that go after paranormal things, count me in!". However, as Season four came in, I was becoming aware Castiel and Dean weren't very close, and as the seasons continued, I got proved wrong. There bond grew, once again, at first I thought nothing of it. I thought they'd be pretty good pals, nothing more, and as far as I'm aware of, I haven't been proved wrong. I do strongly agree that there really is no right or wrong answer, that it has been denied by them, and yet, at the very same time it has not been denied. As said before, it's as if they're teasing us to get us to stay with the show.
About Season 10 coming up shortly, I disagree with the people who are leaving because of Deans new love interest. Yes, it would be nice to have a ship that you really want to have become canon, but at the same time, it wouldn't. You may say "Well, they're actors, they should be used to doing things that they're not comfortable with doing.", but that's not the point. The point is that there really had been no straight forward answer saying it is canon, or it's not. There are so manny ways you can prove me other wise, but either way, it will come up to the same thing.
- A Destiel shipper
+amber Sharpie wow, I think exactly the same thing °u°
"No, he's literally in my head." Misha is too much sometimes XD
"They love each other but its purely sexual"
Holly shit wat? Im cool with that. Lol it was very sudden. He was all awkward and adorable omfg.
He handled that very very well even with how uncomfortable he was lol
He is so amazing
Misha: Wait, hold on you fuckers!
Me: MISHA'😂😂😂😂😂
"My boyfriend is literally IN my head."
Yeah, and ON it.
I love how respectful he is of everyone, and how important everything is to him. You can just tell that his feelings on the queerbaiting accusations and stuff are genuine, and yet he's also so kind to the shipping audience. He makes sure to answer thoughtfully in a way that is an answer to everyone. Every time I see or hear more about him, my respect goes up.
Misha I'm so sorry but you have two shadows...
Doctor Who? ^__
oh shittttttttttttt call a doctor
I see four, MISHA YOU'RE SCREWED!
OH NO PLEASE NOT HIM
Poor baby, he is so uncomfortable.
"they love each other, but its purely sexual" LOL
I loVE MISHAS VOICE
Just what I was thinkin😂❤
okay hers a solution/turn of events.. Cas is an angel right... can take on form of different people or "vessels" so the writers make him a girl for 1 epp for some reason. Dean and Cas sleep and then Cas goes back to being Misha.... that way it would be more easier for Dean to accept it and there would be no going back. Plus i think it would be quite funny....
I don't know... It wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be... 100% Cas. But if that's the closest to canon this ship will ever get... I wouldn't complain :D
( and I mean EXPLICIT canon, because it already is IMPLICIT canon)
wat
I want an episode about Destiel and I agreed. Maybe not Misha but Castiel can become other person and meet Dean maybe... It would be great ^_^
Welp, problem is i dont want it to be skirting around sexual orientation. Im way too gay for that, xD. But srsly c'mon. And it wouldnt be Cas, because Misha gives so much to Cas.
Imo, i think Cas will die/ almost die/ sacrifice himself/ almost go evil again and Dean will kiss him out of impulse and relief, then they'll refuse to speak or make eye contact for two episodes before they suck it up and date xD
can I just say the misha handles destiel questions WAY better then jensen, jensen always ends up being sort of rude and just dismissive to the fan and I understand that it makes him uncomfortable but there are other ways he could handle the question
I agree. Not criticizing Jensen because he disagree with Destiel but because of the way he handles Destiel's questions! Misha answered much more sensibly, agree or disagree. I guess it's just the 2 different persons with different personalities. Misha maybe in general is more considerate whereas Jensen is more straightforward. (*cough* But then these 2 contrasting personalities make them look all the more a better couple *cough*)
I love the intensity of Dean and Cas's bro love. Who knows what's really going on between them, they're obviously closer than the average bros, but it's hard to say. Whatever the case, they've got a beautifully complex relationship and it's one of the best parts of the show for me :)
I feel like it's hard to come out of the kind of stuff they've gone through together and not have a "profound bond", something deeper than average friendship. Personally I don't think they are /in love/ but I think that they love one another a lot. It's possible to feel for someone even more deeply than in a romantic or sexual context and I would say that that is the nature of their relationship.
Only fools dont see the chemistry between dean & cas
Personally I think Misha handles those questions so well because he understood that they're about Dean and Castiel, not about Jensen and him. He knows we're asking about the fictional characters they portray, that we may imagine having their apperance, but not about him and Jensen. And I think it doesn't make him particullarly uncomfortable answering those questions because he knows that most of us have this clear distinction between fictional characters and real people.
i'm calling bullshit. cas is a fantastic CHARACTER in his own right independant of dean. he's not some pocket attachment. he gets his own storylines often largely independant or even in direct opposition of the brothers, has had his own centric episodes and has his own extensive fanbase, many of whom don't give 2 hoots about destiel. they like the character cas. the reason is simple - he's a wonderfully interesting, powerful, funny and nuanced character portrayed brilliantly by a talented actor.
dean and i do share a more profound bond
Truth is Dean and Cas are friends♥ best friends and they would die for each other but nothing else;) I respect the fans who thing that there is something more but there is not, supernatural is a show about 2 brothers,but most of all;the bond between the characters♥ and the three of them share a brotherly love ,a pure and real one but nothing'romantic'in it♥
No wincest or destiel...anyway,thats what i think and i know that is what all of them(jensen,jared,misha....)think too;)
Misha has just gained even more respect from me (which I didn't know was possible). It does make me quite sad, though. The first and only con I've been to was the one in Seattle which he mentioned. Hardly any of the questions there were respectable ones. Fans should be allowed to ask about Dean and Cas' relationship, yes - but the actors are being bombarded with uncomfortable questions.
anyone notice how he has trouble saying "queer baiting" ? he really doesn't like it. it reminds me of a friend of mine who doesn't like to swear.
Casper Marsh honestly, I heard the word queerbait way too many times when I was a kid, and it was always used to badly humiliate. I get the way they're using the term is different, but those memories stick. So choosing to call a tactic of hinting at chemistry that could be queer the same as a humiliating word for bullying can be very disconcerting and hurtful. It's something people were called for being different, not fitting in, not meeting society's narrow standards of fitting in, standards of gender, or standards of sex. So using a word with such heavy baggage may be a bit short cited and cause too much grief.
OK so whether you ship Destiel or not I feel bad for them whenever they're asked questions about it because they have to watch everything that they say and be very careful because people get so outrageously offended over EVERYTHING.
the question she initiated to ask wasn't even about destiel directly, but more about deans development and she wanted it to have like a controversial tone. if the crowd had let her finish her question, jensen would have been completely free to say that he doesn't want to answer that or whatever - but i personally think saying 'don't ruin it for everybody.' was a bad reaction.
He's so honest and down to earth I love him so much
Just because a person doesn't think Dean is bisexual doesn't mean they are homophobic.I've adored some gay or bisexual characters,but I don't think suddenly revealing that a character is bi after 8 seasons is good storytelling. Especially on a genre show that doesn't really focus on who has sex w/ who.It would take time to tell the story right (if it could even be done at this late date) and that would take away from stories that more central to the plot. If Dean were bi from the start-I'd be ok
Misha handles himself so well with the tougher questions, especially ones that, as he said have bothered people in the past. He's very honest while still being considerate of the diverse opinions. But I am glad he is completely willing to stand up when he recognizes the difference between disagreement and homophobia. This is why I'm a Minion, because Misha is not afraid to be EXACTLY who he is.
misha is such a beautiful human being like omfg he always jokes about world domination but seriously sometimes i think like how awesome it would be if someone like him was in chanrge...
he said what we all wanted to hear right at the very end ''they love eachother but its purely sexual''
people go woo woo at inappropriate times which make it hard to hear the actor
I say this as a hardcore Destiel shipper: Give the actors a break. It's fine every once in a while to bring it up because people are curious, and that's ok--plus I know the issue of bisexual/homosexual relationships in tv is important to a lot of folks. But they get asked about it so, so much, and I think they're supposed to stay kinda tight-lipped about it. Whether it becomes full-on canon is out of their and our hands. But don't let that take away from what the relationship means to you:-)
"they love each other, BUT ITS PURELY SEXUAL"
God damnit destiel has ruined my life I just want them to be in love already fkms
I'm the 66,000 viewer! HELL YEAH!! Love you Misha and you and Dean need to BE TOGETER DAMMIT!
Misha is a rock star. My favorite is the bit where he ponders the semantics of dating a celestial wavelength.
Idk what to do anymore with Destiel and SPN. The show is clearly queerbaiting, there's no doubt, at least not to me. I don't get non-destiel-shippers who have a problem with destiel: clearly you see that many people, I would argue most people in the fandom, ship destiel because they see something more than platonic between them. Even though you can't see it, what would be the harm in letting us have it? What would be the harm in letting the LGBT community have two main characters that don't fit into stereotypes be together? There is a larger cause here after all. I didn't ship Korrasami when the finale of LoK came along, but I knew that them ending up together meant a great deal to tons of LGBT viewers. I don't understand the writers either, if questions in cons about destiel are banned, why do they keep hinting it on the show? Tbh I wish I could stop watching bc I'm suffering watching these two be hopelessly in love with each other only subtextually but denied the textual canon...
2:55 - It's an art form, especially when _who_ is writing? Ben-something? Can someone tell me, please? :c
It's Ben Edlund (one of the, hands down, best writers SPN ever had!) He sadly left after season 8! he also did the best deancas episodes!
Sandra Schmidt
I thought so (that it'd be the one who handled the yknowhats). TT ____TT beeeeeeen
He answered that question as seriously as Ive ever heard. And I agree with him. They love each other, they do. That much is obvious. What people see into that is open to interpretation and I love that Misha respects that.
Completely agree. I'm a Destiel shipper, but I feel like some people are ruining it for all of us.
How did you come to that conclusion? Cas is SO much more than that. Cas was scripted to only be in about 6 episodes. Cas took over Anna's storyline and arc because the fans loved him and Misha from the get-go, before any subtext happened. Misha doesn't "need" Destiel, he is so much more then that, I've met people who hate or don't ship Destiel and still ADORE Cas' character. Misha is such a stunning guy outside of work too with charity and all that. Misha and Cas are amazing. Destiel or not.
Guys can we just please leave these guys alone about it? I mean c'mon. :( this is not the best topic for them. And they feel extremely uncomfortable about it and they're literally not suppose to talk about it.
Yes, as a destiel shipper myself I am more than often... I don't want to say 'disgusted'... but very displeased with the destiel fandom. We get portrayed as rabid fans shoving our ideals down people's throats because of the loud childish members of the fandom. Not all of us are like that. And I'm so happy to hear about people who love Cas just as much as I do even when he is not being shipped with anyone. He truly is an amazing character.
Eh there may have been something there, but it can never compare to the love story it became. I'm just saying that when Castiel was first introduced, we never could have known their relationship would develop so deeply. But it did and it's beautiful, but it's is not all there is to Cas and Misha.
Actually, I have never been much of a fan of Misha's often pretty creative way of answering (or more often not answering) questions . Neither am I a fan of the Dean-Cas-relationship on the show (because I think it sometimes puts the brother relationship on the sidelines). But this statement of him was just brilliant!!! It's really great of him to even call that destiel crap an art form. That would never have come out of my mouth! It's pretty respectful of him! I admire him for that.
Also the part about Jensen not liking Destiel is shit - He has said he isn't a big fan of the whole sexy-times thing and that part of the fandom, but he has also expressed that Destiel as in a ship about love not sex, he can see why that would be real. Also, with all the references he does at cons? Like the whole cuddling with the trenchcoat thing? Yeah, that's acceptance, sorry not sorry.
I love Misha. "What am I a politician? It's purely sexual."
The funny thing is that the reason most people who react this way to these questions is not because they don't like Destiel, it's because they think the actors doesn't like being asked the question, when in reality they just don't like the people who're being hateful or creating awkwardness when these questions are asked.
You can compare it to when it's asked in interviews - it's much different - I think you know what I mean.
"before any subtext happened"? There were subtext iin the very first scene where he appears.
Also I forgot, stupid me: thank you very much for uploading this vid, Love!
He's the only one who really understands how important it is to some fans. He did a great job with that answer *claps*
I ship destiel, but I would never mention it to them, not just because it would be an embarrassing thing to bring up but out of respect aswell. Saying that though it annoys the hell out of me that if Castiel was portrayed by a woman and not by Misha the writers would of got them together in one way or another. Like with Anna, she's also an angel but because she was in a female meat suit they had a sex scene. Regardless I don't see how you could bring up that topic so many times D:
I think he just didn't want to start a fandom war I guess
he is clearly still struggeling with it himself XD
I know nothing about this fandom, but I think he handled this question very well.
I didn't ask it but the question was "Do you believe that Castiel is in love with Dean?"
I feel awful that people make Misha feel bad for interacting and joking with fans the way he does. He's so wonderful and respectful of the relationships on SPN, including Cas and Dean's. You can ship Wincest all you like but don't hate on the actor for endorsing the relationship, whatever it may be, between his character and another. This was beautifully answered, eloquent, funny and just the right amount of "fuck you" to the senseless haters. Basically, Misha Collins is AWESOME.
Misha soo cute!!! Please explain more about the "profound bond" between cas and dean !!!
I love how Misha answered the question, even though it did make me uncomfortable. He was obviously not very comfortable answering it, either; he thought about what he was saying before he actually said it, so as not to actually go about insulting butthurt morons who would then go, "Misha's shitting on our ship!"
As much as I love Destiel, some of you guys need to tone it the fuck down because the actors shouldn't have to hear this at every single convention.
I LOVE MISHA
I haven't watched the video in entirety yet, but I have to say something about Misha in general:
I nominate Misha Collins as president of the world.
He's a better man than I could endeavour to be.
"They love eachother, but its purely sexual"
I love how much thought he put into that answer :)
100% with you. At first I didn't mind the destiel, but because of some part of the over-obsess shipper (who crushed everyone down if we don't see ''the one and only truth'') I can't stand it anymore and that doesn't change how much I love Misha and his character. Cas is always gonna be family, a brother :)
Poor Misha he keeps stuttering
Well, some fans believe very strongly in Destiel (if one looks, a lot of moments in the show can be interpreted towards Destiel), and they're genuinely curious about it's place in the show and what actors think.
I just wanna give him a hug. :( Actors shouldn't have to have this sort of pressure on them when it comes to shipping wars.
Honest, funny, diplomatic--that was a damn perfect answer to a question about a very loaded topic. Dean and Cas' canon relationship isn't queerbaiting, it's fan-baiting, which is also known as television. I love how he gets kinda defensive about that; it's a serious topic that he clearly cares a lot about. Did he say he's officiated same sex weddings? because every time I think this man can't get more perfect/can no longer surprise me HE DOES. Misha is a fucking treasure. DEATH TO NORMALCY!!!
it is love but love can be in many different forms, so...
THE ENDING OMG STAY TILL THE END
But the actors' opinions on the matter are constantly evolving. And a lot of Destiel fans want to make sure that any misconceptions the actors have about Destiel are cleared up [for example: Destiel being purely smut, which is NOT true]. We want the actors to understand how important Destiel is to us, which is why we continue to bring it up at cons. Consistency yields progress most of the time.
i was under the impression that he was talking about the art of writing ("especially when ben edlund's doing it") which IS an artform. it is in the same way that music is an artform. you might not like the subject or content of it, but tough shit - that doesn't change it from being a creative artistic process, regardless of whether it's popular or not. (with the case of destiel, from what i've seen it just so happens that it does seem to be quite popular, but i think he meant general writing).
Accually the problem started after his panel. He had something to say about it but he really don't want to piss his side off.
When he's talking about the other convention. (I think he says Seattle) but is there a video of what went down there? I'm just curious thanks.
-This is for at 1:41
You're SO right!
this is perfection THANK
He talks about feminism during his panel but I didn't realize this video didn't include it. I figured it did because it was four minutes long, but sadly, it does not. Good catch!
He's just so uncomfortable XD
Because he *wants* to be honest and say yes Dean and Cas have a deeper bond than brothers and he wants destiel.
