#spn commentary

The part that Jensen's repeatedly pushed back against — and sometimes gotten exasperated or frustrated about — is the insistence of some fans that Dean must reciprocate Cas's feelings. He's been very clear about the fact that he understands Dean to be straight, that he's always played him as straight, and that he's never gotten guidance from writers or directors or showrunners that he should be playing him differently.²

Meanwhile, Jensen has consistently affirmed that Dean feels love for his dearest friends — which includes Cas — but he has also consistently avoided using language that suggests Dean feels romantic love for him, because he doesn't think that Dean does.

That's why Jensen describes their relationship by calling Cas "one of [Dean's] best friends," "one of his closest allies," "not only a brother-in-arms, but one of his closest — the closest people to him," and doesn't describe their relationship by calling Cas "the man he loves" or using other phrases that people usually reserve for romantic partners, like "his everything."³

In any case, what Jensen is trying to say seems pretty clear to me even without the above context, but with it, I'd call it beyond clear. When he says there's nothing to resolve, he's saying that (consistent with what he's said before) Cas & Dean were on the same page by the end of the scene. Dean understood Cas's feelings and Cas understood Dean's.

But (I will just copy and paste bc I'm lazy lmao):

IF THE DECLARATION WAS MISHA'S LAST SCENE EVER WHY DID HE TELL MICHAEL SHEEN 3 MONTHS AGO THAT HE HAD TO FILM 1 AND A HALF EPISODE?? AND 15X19 WAS A HALF?? WHY DIDN'T HE SAY AT THE DARKLIGHT CON THAT HE JUST WASN'T IN THE FINALE??

YOU DON'T THINK "OH I DON'T WANNA SAY THAT I'M NOT IN THE FINALE BECAUSE PEOPLE OTHERWISE WON'T WATCH IT" IF YOU ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT 15X18 WAS YOUR LAST EPISODE, YOU JUST HAVE TO REPEAT IT, BUT NO, YOU DIDN'T. WHY??

September 4 vs. September 4.

Misha also wrote: "Days like this you kind of have to believe in God..."

It could be a coincidence, BUT remember Misha's picture and read this:

Do you see what I see here?? I know that I'm just getting my hopes up probably, but this is all so strange, I had to write something about it.

In conclusion:

A man who says “please don’t do this now, there’s so much happening right now and I don’t know how to respond to you”

And let’s not forget about here:

All I see is a man who says “no please don’t do this cas, you are to important and I can’t give you what you want what you deserve”

Let’s just remember for a second that this was Cas’s revelation, not Dean’s. Even if Dean loves him back it is not his revelation of happiness that’s happing right here!

Dean still sees himself as broken an damaged. Like he can’t give cas what he deserved. He doesn’t want cas to confess or to love him because he does not feel capable of giving cas everything he thinks he deserves.

This scene was not about Dean getting over his repressed feelings and shame and all that stuff, it was about Cas realising what his true happiness is and finally, after eternity, getting to love in it. He didn’t need Dean to respond here, that wasn’t why he sait it, he needed to love his own happiness.

And also, to add, this right here:

Take away deans pining over the years, his best friend just confessed his feelings for him and then dies and it dawns upon him what his own feelings are.
