Do you truly believe that having belly fat makes people disgusting? That the media should have final say on how you feel about yourself? If you don't believe it and there is a mismatch between your moral beliefs and your gut reaction to your appearance...

and not just implied canon either. not just an ambiguous confession that could be twisted to be platonic. not just subtext. not just a relationship confirmed by the creators after the fact. they are 100% undeniably canon.

they refer to each other as boyfriends. they talk openly with other characters about the fact that they're dating. they have an audible kiss. they say I love you in a way that is undeniably romantic. they openly flirt with each other.

and like. yeah canon is made up and whatever we want it to be yadda yadda. but like,, canon queer relationships, especially quality written queer relationships, are just,, RIDICULOUSLY hard to come by for some reason and jmart's relationship is so refreshing to me, especially because you can tell the writers actually care about it

and they're not the only ones! there's a canon lesbian couple! there are canon trans characters! there are literal statements with themes of transness and queerness and how that impacts people's experiences! there are explicitly queer background characters/relationships! jon is canonically asexual! (and jon's asexuality could be a whole other post for me—it feels so monumental as an asexual person to see somebody who is both canonically asexual and still has genuine romantic relationships)

The complex dynamic and queer characterization you see in him is so much better and meaningful than the straight bros that created him and to me that is part of what makes all of this so special. It is disappointing to have such a large part of a spn fan base to be repeatedly treated as a stain or embarrassment, but it’s been like this the whole time I have been a fan. I remember being a young queer fan in 2013 and viscerally feeling the taboo nature of destiel and how much they hated people who saw any validity to it. It really was the prime era of fandom/shipping and the creators of these shows did not make light about how much they dismissed and demeaned queer romance while queerbaiting.

Happy Pride to my boys who managed to get their happy ending after all. Love story of all time.
