"Show us, not tell us."

~Supernatural Then and Now podcast. BONUS CLIP: Ben Edlund Talks

They couldn't TELL US. So they kept SHOWING US. Over and over and over again.

Dean and Cas loved each other. They were IN LOVE. BOTH OF THEM. Dean was never allowed to "tell us" but he "showed us" constantly.

Jesus Christ that dude was menacing. Standing just shy of the rain pouring down from the overhang. Like he didn't even feel it. Yeah alright I was looking at him way too long now, shit- "Where do you think you're going?" that voice, tinged with a dangerous edge, sent shivers down my spine. Heart pounding, my nervous ass was trying to sidestep, but that man's presence was pulling me in, commanding attention and fear in equal measure. "Home. Just trying not to fucking drown in the rain, man" That asshole's eyes never even blinked and locked onto me like I was the one trying some shit. "Have I seen you before?" "Absolutely not." Why couldn't I shut up and just walk away- "Stop lying." "I'm not?" ....have I seen him before? How the fuck was his hand on my shoulder without me noticing- "Let's wait until this fuckass weather chills down and then we can go home? Do you smoke?" I didn't. I took a drag and almost died coughing. He just laughed. That's when I noticed the blood stains underneath his collar.

Little cringe fanfic for my artwork 😀

"You know, we know what it is, what’s going on. We don’t talk about it. The actors don’t, Jensen and I don’t. But we’re all perfectly aware of how the relationship is, the writers are completely aware of how it’s being written. It may be unspoken but that doesn’t mean it’s not there or not true."

"Ok, we know what the subtext is, bury it a little bit. [...] 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.”

THEY WERE ALL PERFECTLY AWARE OF WHAT THEY WERE DOING. AND HOW THIS RELATIONSHIP WAS WRITTEN. AND DEAN AND CAS' RELATIONSHIP WAS WRITTEN AS A LOVE STORY.

Love how in the earlier seasons, they would make Dean say "I don't swing that way" or "I don't play for your team" but after a while, they just gave up. I mean Aaron was hitting on Dean in what? Season 8 or 9? And all Dean could say to turn him down was that he's a federal agent on an investigation? Nothing about not being into dudes? Interesting...
