Stories from fellow fans about casual viewers around them noticing Destiel after the latest episodes.
I started getting these yesterday and it snowballed a little, so I figured I’d just gather them in one post for convenience (and frankly, this is really, really satisfying). Feel free to submit more stories to me! Let’s make this a thing!
I’ve been trying for a long time to make three of my friends watch SPN. I finally suceeded. But they were not into Destiel or any fandom stuff. But after they watched all 19 episodes of season 8, all of them- I REPEAT- all of them said that they saw where this is going. One of them said that Dean is as emotionally mature as a teenage girl with his crush on Cas, I think I agree. THIS IS HAPPENING. We will have canon Destiel.

My boss, a forty year old man with four children asked me if I thought Dean and Cas were going to get together. From what I’ve gathered in our few conversations about it, he watches it when it’s convenient and mostly for the myth arcs. This is the same man that told me the all male production of Romeo and Juliet was “too gay”. He’s not out looking for it, but he sees it.

I watched a few episodes of S8 with my nephew today and he’s not even really a fan of Supernatural, he only watches it sometimes when his mom or I watch it… and he was like “I think they’re definitely going somewhere there with Dean and Cas.”

My ultra homophobic mother has gone from casually laughing it off to making pained faces and not saying anything. (Sister has been on board since a while ago when I replayed the 8x08 boner scene, at which point she was like, yup, you win, only one thing that could be.)
Since it’s “casual viewers noticing stuff” time, a friend of mine, who is straight and a fan of SPN but not invested in the fandom or anything, asked me after Goodbye stranger what I thought about the crypt scene, I asked him “Why?” and he answered “Because something’s going on with Dean and Cas don’t you think?” and I swear to god I almost choked

since we’re collecting stories about non shippers who apparently see Dean and Cas as romantic, I"m gonna have to add my best friend to the list. He spent the longest time telling me that Dean was straight and he and cas were just friends and “I looked at my friends in high school like that, we were really close, it’s not romantic at all!!” and then he saw season 8 and now he’s pretty certain that Dean and Cas are IN love, not just very very very close friends.
(I asked when the friend noticed)
not completely sure but I think my best friend became convinced around 8x02 and the whole “I need you” stuff, though I might have to ask him. He’s really, really not a shipper, though, so I’m pretty happy that, according to him, the show convinced him, not me. (Also you’d already counted six when you replied to my ask so wouldn’t I be #7?)
(*yes, sorry, dear, I counted wrong ^^;)
from my little brother - well he’s 18 but he’s still a baby and he doesn’t give a shit about Tumblr or the Internet: “I’m not sure I understand these two [Dean and Castiel] anymore, or I think I understand and I’m okay with it but… you know, it would be cool ?” and he didn’t mention by name the thing he was talking about but we just shared that long look, and man, it was definitely a “dEsTieLLL???!” look

On the topic of casual viewers noticing destiel, my younger sister refused to believe they were anything but good friends until she saw 8.01, and she now agrees 100%.

I keep seeing all the messages about casual viewers taking notice and I can’t help but be so excited. Not only because Destiel is on the verge of sailing away, but because I also have friends that watch the show. One of them (straight guy) called me immediately after watching 8x18, with the feelings talk, and after a short pause he said “I can totally see it…”. Two more friends have asked me about it after 8x19. I have never been more pleasantly surprised, to be honest. It’s happening!
A friend from my class was watching the S6 three months ago, and I started rambling about Destiel, and she was all like “What are you talking about, they’re dudes, it’d be so strange”. We never talked about it again. Now she’s catching up on the S8 and she came to me a few weeks ago, “Aawww yiss Cas and Dean - you were right, I like it” … and she hasn’t seen Goobye Stranger or Taxi Driver yet. Ah-ah. Ah-ah-ah.
My sister and I are currently having a long, drawn-out-over-many-weeks SPN marathon; I’m already a fan, but I’m introducing her to the show. We’ve only gotten up to about episode 4 or 5 of Season 4, but when “Goodbye Stranger” was on she watched it with me. Now, my sister’s kind of have heteronormative crap shoved down her throat since forever (so have I, but eh, I’m awesomer than her) so it took a lecture from my friend for her to see it, but she so acknowledges Destiel now.~

I talked about this on profound radio that one time but my best friend’s mom, who has never seen SPN and doesn’t know my feelings about it, sat down to do some work next to me while I was watching “The Man Who Would Be King.” She paused to watch for about 3 minutes, then turned to me and asked, “Are they in love?” and I said, “Why do you think that?” and she said, “They look at each other with such passion. Friends don’t look at each other like that. Lovers do.” And that from just 3 min!

The casual viewer i noticed was my mom, i think it was in 8;02 when Dean hugged Cas and told him he needed him, my mum turned to me and went “Now that’s love, don’t you think.” I *hiding my inner shipper* turned to her “Yeah, Cas is his best friend, i’m glad they’re reunited.” My mom shook her head and said “I think it’d deeper then that.”

One of my best friends (Who has always seen Dean as a strictly ladies man) After season 8 , has gone back over the previous seasons and has announced to me that she thinks Dean might be Bisexual, and in love with Cas. She’s been watching the show since it first came out but now she’s of firm belief that Cas and Dean love each other.
