Question about the end of Supernatural

(Anonymous) 2023-09-14 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So I watched it for the first 7 seasons and then just lost interest. Since it ended, I've heard about how things ended with Castiel and how upset some people were by it, but never heard much else about the ending. I recently came across a comment on Reddit that said "they made incest shippers happy by making wincest canon" and...WTF?! I can't imagine that actually happened, at least without causing a huge controversy, which I never heard, and I don't want to google those words. I'm guessing the person who said it is joking, but is it referencing something? Or is it just completely made up/trolling? Can someone fill me in on what happened? Thanks!

That person was joking. So, Castiel was basically cursed by the entity that controls The Empty (the place where angels, vampires, werewolves, etc go when they die). If he experiences true happiness, the Empty is going to take him. So, Castiel (for reasons I can't recall), confesses his love to Dean and the Empty takes him. Some people will argue that he was confessing familial love. But those people are stupid.

The actual finale has Dean and Sam doing their hunting thing. Dean dies a silly death and goes to Heaven. Sam gets an ugly grey wig, a blurry wife, and a kid. Then he dies. Then Dean and Sam meet up in Heaven and other people are just vaguely mentioned (cuz covid).

Spoilers for the last ep of SPN

It's either trolling or a Dean/Cas shipper who thinks that focusing on the relationship between Sam and Dean, yanno the brothers, is pandering to the incest shippers. Which is a bizarre take but one I have seen across a few fandoms.

But essentially in the last ep Dean and Sam go on a last hunt, Dean gets hurt, dies, there's an unintentionally funny montage of Sam's life and then he dies of old age and reunites with Dean in their shared heaven. I can see how wincest shippers would like that part of the ending, them being together forever in heaven and all that, but it's not pandering to those shippers specifically and from what I saw most of them were pissed at Dean's death so they weren't thrilled with the ep either.

So no, not making it canon but writing a story the shippers could work with, which the show writers likely were not taking into account anyway.

Sam and Dean were in their shared heaven at the end of the show. At some point previously in canon (pretty early on, iirc), it was said that only soulmates share a heaven. That's probably what they were referring to about making wincest canon. But yeah, Cas confessing his love to Dean basically also made Destiel canon, though that happened in a previous episode. The final episode was all about Sam and Dean, no Cas.

You weren't missing anything after season 7. I kind of wish I'd stopped there, except that then I wouldn't have gotten to enjoy fandom.
