#non shipper

Excerpt(s) below are from Quora’s Rebecca Matthies who neither ships J/D or J/S.

“Because sticking your two obvious romantic leads on the cover of a magazine with the words "End Game" written on it and then loudly proclaim that the ending will be a shock ("you won't see it coming", "brave" were amongst the words used to describe it) has doom written all over it.”

“Now, either Jon and Daenerys are endgame and the writers and producers have lost their minds...or this series won't end up with everyone's favourite incestious couple riding into the sunset on their dragon(s)”

Gotta love Quora for their honest analysis and intelligent insightful A2As. 😊

I’d like to begin by stating that you should feel free to ship - or NOT ship - whoever you please. This is simply the way I see things, and I’m not saying you have to see it the way I do.

Cas is Dean’s best friend, his family. An angelic best friend. Now, angels, ESPECIALLY Cas, are notoriously ignorant when it comes to pop culture - music, movies, books, etc.

Dean Winchester is a lover of rock music down to the deepest depths of his soul. It’s an important part of who he is. Cas, his best friend, is unaware of who these bands are and what the genera even is. Imagine when Dean finds out that Castiel doesn’t know who Led Zeppelin is.

Dean: *ranting about how great Led Zeppelin is*

Cas: An airship made of lead seems extremely misguided.

Dean: *thinking* He doesn’t know who they are?! Oh HELL NO. I’m fixing this now.

Dean would be horrified if his best friend found music on his own and started listening to the likes of Taylor Swift or One Direction. I don’t see it as romantic, I see Dean giving Cas a mixed tape as an effort to develop Cas’s astoundingly non-existent music tastes in the likeness of his own.

TWDS7 was so badly written. especially to Carol and Daryl's story arc. (regardless of shipper point of view.) Remember when filming spoiler spotted NR/Daryl on set, we all wondering why Daryl has to be in so many location, Kingdom, Hilltop, Oceanside & Sanctuary, now we get it. Seems it's just for him to be on screen so can attract certain group of people, actually Daryl has almost zero purpose in those stories, even when there's a chance for Daryl to beat up Dwight, yet being stop by Rick, WTF?!

And ant the oceanside scenes, Daryl just be there to setup explosion? and using his crossbow to point at those women and children? is this the Daryl we all know for 6 seasons?

Same thing to Carol, giving the story for her to stay away and pushing people away,  just like TWD pushing Carol/MMB fans away for the entire season.

And no mater how Carol being sad and alone, no doubt she's still the best fighter and able to do anything if she wants to. No surprise seeing Carol return in full badass and full armored in finale, no surprise having Carol return to save the day, those are known facts. Even Carl also be sidelined and his father seems forgot his son still having an eye patch, and he never talked to him about how he felts.

The entire season had lost their focus.

The entire season had lost their humanity.

The entire season just ...

LOST.
