I just saw Into the Spiderverse... this movie is just amazing. However, now all I can imagine for every spideypool fic is hot mess!peter parker and his voice. Like I can't even picture any of the other incarnations now, I'm so in love lmao I really hope we get some awesome fanart and fanfic from our community using this version of peter, it'd be so much fun!
Also, if we ever get that spideypool movie we all want, I want it in this animation style. There is so much more that gets communicated through it than live action can. That and it's just so engaging!!
..... and I just love that Spidey Bells song, I friggin' died at "i have a degree in biochemical engineering" I just... sigh... I wanna go back and see it again lol
....
........
...........okay... I've enjoyed a lot of the SM/DP series. Pretty much all of it.
I'm a fairly trusting and optimistic guy and I very rarely poo-poo on stuff that is unfinished, because you never know how things will turn out.
And while I wasn't expecting things to turn out the way I wanted as the series was being cancelled, I was at least expecting.... something? A conclusion? Some kind of resolution to at least one character arc? .... possibly just less pages of event covers as the advertised "double length" volume.
... I'm not mad. It's not my story and it's just a comic, but as a fan and defender of the series I really felt kind of uncomfortable with the delivery of that ending. It kinda felt a bit bitter??
Dunno. Anyway, it's over.
As soon as I finish moving (end of June) and get my drawing tablet back and set up, I think I'm going to continue this series on my own. Just for shits and giggles and because Peter and Wade deserved better.
Debating on where to start up.
1. End of the Itsy Bitsy Arc
2. The Roadtrip
Depends on how much I want to keep canon-compliant.
Suggestions?

Reasons why I personally think Cas is a perfect choice to be Dean's romantic interest! :)
These are MY PERSONAL OPINIONS!! Don't take them to heart if they don't agree with yours! :)
1. The Playing Field
Originally Dean was drawn in by the apple pie life with Lisa and Ben and he loved it and them (I shipped Lisa and Dean when they were together :P). But, it wasn't made to last, because it just wasn't who he was. He wanted to keep saving people and being a hunter. So, Dean needs someone who already knows about the things that go bump in the night.
Cas is/was an angel so we can all agree that Cas knows Dean's playing field.
2. Ability
Dean is like a mother hen as we have all seen time and time again with Sam. He would need someone who can take care of themselves if trouble came around. If he were with someone who wasn't a skilled hunter or badass, he would definitely be fretting about their safety.
Cas is/was an angel and while he is human now, that doesn't mean that he has forgotten how to throw a punch or kick an ass or two, just that he can't teleport or smite. I think given time to adjust to being human, Cas will be about or just as formidable as the Winchester brothers. Dean wouldn't have to worry about Cas and trust that he can take care of himself.
3. Sam
Now, let me start off by addressing the issue of concern that "destiel going canon would draw the brothers apart" and become the "Dean and Cas" show. Supernatural will NEVER become the "Dean and Cas" show. The show writers and actors won't let all their hard work in developing this story and the familial bonds of the brothers to devolve into a common soap opera with monsters and a suddenly estranged brother (have some faith in the people that have brought us 8 amazing seasons!!! :D)
Now this applies to not just Cas, but anyone being romantically interested in Dean (or Sam). No one wants the brothers with anyone, because of this (except their ship lol).
With Cas though, this wouldn't happen. Cas has been involved pretty heavily in both the Winchesters lives (leaning more towards Deans') for 4 seasons now. And he has had zero effect in driving them apart. They already have a profound bond and love for one another.
Please, don't argue with that last statement. You know they do even if you don't see it as a romantic love. Dean himself said it, he said that Cas was like family and a brother to him. Dean loves his brother and he loves his family (Bobby, Ellen, Jo, John, Sam) so being family, Dean loves Cas. He stated he would die for him, that he needs him. Dean LOVES Cas. That is CANON. How you interpret that love is completely up to you though :)
As I was saying, they have had 4 years together of love and bonding time and this has not effected the brothers relationship. If anything, it makes them talk more. Like consulting with each other to stop Cas when he went of the rails and all Godstiel on everyone or discussing Deans' motives for praying to Castiel, etc.
Cas becoming something a little more to Dean isn't going to drive the brothers apart and will help keep true to the story.
Another randomly introduced person will most likely not get positive fan reaction as we have seen in the past with other potential romantic interests, and there would have to be a considerable amount of time put into Dean interacting with said character to build up a bond strong enough for the fandom to believe in it and accept it. THAT would take time away from the brothers, because I'm sure we can agree that we hold high standards for these boys in their relationships :) We love them!
4. Sam
Although Dean doesn't need approval from Sam, I'm sure he would want it. Why? Sam is Dean's everything and Dean would want to make sure he is with a person that his baby brother gets along with, because Sam is for life and if this person was for life too, they would need to get along or else that person is going to get canned.
Good news! Sam likes Cas. He is quick to defend him and considers him a friend, even if he finds him a bit awkward at times. He even entrusted his brother to Cas and told him to keep Dean out of trouble! Problem solved!
5. Sam
Sam is a huge part of Dean's life and will always come first (just like he said in the finale). Dean's potential partner would need to really understand this and accept their unhealthy co-dependence on one another.
Good news again! Cas has been watching these brothers for years and understands their devotion to one another and even used it against them once by cracking Sams' gourd. He gets their relationship and would never put himself before Sam for Dean. In fact in the S8 finale, he brought Dean to Sam first before bolting and doing what he felt he needed to do.
I feel another person could do the same, but most would probably feel jealous about it. Even, Lisa with the patience of a saint knew that she couldn't have Dean if Sam was still alive. She was kind enough to not make Dean choose, but a lot of people need that kind of commitment that he can't give.
Cas gets it and goes along with it. Why? Have no clue, but it's what he does.
6. Perfection
Dean has incredibly low self esteem as we've seen countless times. If Dean was placed with someone who was perfect, I can't help but feel he might compare himself to them and feel that he wasn't worthy of their love. Dean isn't perfect and he can't be with someone who is perfect.
Luckily, Cas is also not perfect. Cas has made a TON of mistakes and Dean has seen most of them in action. He knows Cas isn't perfect now, but he chooses to keep reaching out to him despite this.
Dean also needs someone who knows his imperfections and accepts them wholely. Someone who finds out that Dean mutilated souls in hell moooooost likely will turn tail and run from all his guilt and self worthlessness issues. Cas saw him in action with that and pulled him straight out. Despite seeing Dean at his worst, Cas keeps coming to him and reaching out as well.
Those are MY main reasons I think Cas makes a good candidate for Dean's romantic interest. I mean there's all the usual things like their bond, eye sex, subtext, etc. But I feel these are the core things that COULD make him a candidate.
Not saying that there are reasons why he wouldn't, but hey! Every relationship has some bumps yeah?
I don't think I want to see them be all mushy and gooey, because that isn't either of them. I think I just want at the end of the show to see Dean hop into the Impala with Cas in the front seat and they drive off together to hunt some monsters and be together forever while Sam lives a beautiful life with his own family that allows Dean to visit him as much as he wants. :)
I just had a terrible thought (comes with me being all hyper about the new season!).... You know how that other angel couldn't recognize Ezekiel? And how Ezekiel was "wounded" during the fall?
What if Ezekiel is actually Lucifer (and it was a newer angel who had never seen him before his fall... or maybe they can't fully recognize each other in their meat suits and without wings) cast from the cage and injured from constantly fighting with Michael all this time?
And now he's possessed Sam again and wants to ruin Sam, Dean, and Cas's relationships with each other for revenge while he heals his wounds from his battles with Michael.
Tells Dean to keep Cas out, makes Dean lie and be all secretive to Sam. Then when they're at their lowest and apart from each other he's all like "BAM! I'm Really Lucifer Guyz!! Miss me?!" And some form of End!Verse ensues.
Completely not likely, but it would throw me for a loop!
So like... what is happening in next weeks finale?? I almost wouldn't be surprised if they made a 2 hour alternate universe ending to satisfy us lmao
LMAO I just realized in the new Spiderman/Deadpool issue, Wade literally made them drive in a heart shaped loop on their road trip at some point. It’s in the center of his map XD This series is a treasure in so many ways
Ugh, these two break my soul sometimes! Just thinking about what Dean's looking for in a love interest. I think most of us can agree that love is a prominent theme currently and that there are a lot of indicators pointing to the fact that Dean is thinking about having someone in his life. Someone to love. Personally, I feel that at this point in his life Dean is not looking for your typical love interest, especially after that episode where he attended the chastity group and said some pretty interesting things about his one night stands and always with the "adios." Dean has had a life time of sex and one night stands. Sex was always one of his fun "go to" things to do. Something he enjoyed, but now that he's older and after some poor experiences and the weight of always being alone after, sex doesn't seem that important to him at the moment. There has been a distinct lack of it in the past few seasons to kind of support that. I feel that Dean is looking for not so much someone to just love.... I feel Dean is looking for a life partner. Literally, a partner in crime for life. I think he is looking for someone who accepts him for who he is and who won’t back away, someone strong and who he trusts, someone who appreciates him and who he connects with, someone who understands him, even empathizes with him in some ways and won’t make him change, someone who wants to, can, and WILL spend the rest of their life with him. I just see him wanting someone in his life who will ride off into the sunset with him, quietly in the passenger seat, enjoying each others' company while Baby plays some rock. Someone who when he's done reading something, he goes to switch off the light next to him and glances over and someone is there, sleeping. Someone who he can count on to be there with him for the remainder of their life. And I just can't help, but picture Cas in all of this. :( I just picture the two of them... They'd be the kind of couple you meet on the street and you can instantly tell they're together and that they love each other on the deepest of levels, but they give no indication otherwise. They don't look at each other, they don't touch each other. They don't need to, but there just seems to be this unseen entity surrounding them, bonding them together profoundly and you just know. And they know. Ugh, sorry for my feels, they're just killing me!!! As always, don't take anything I say to heart. Just my ponderings, reflections, and feelings. :)
"I just want to be an angel." This to me sounds a lot like Cas is regretful that he wasn't able to stop Dean's death. ie. If only I had been an angel this wouldn't have happened. If only I had been an angel I could have saved Dean. Cas thinks Dean is dead. Would you really want to see the dead body of the person you love? You may want to get there, but then won't you hesitate outside the door anyways? Deans' body isn't going anywhere just yet and Cas doesn't want to see it right this second so he's just tying up loose ends in Heaven. He'll go to see him I'm sure. But that statement just sounds like a broken person who is frustrated that they couldn't do more, that he didn't have more to give and be more useful to Dean and Dean is now "dead." He just wants to be an angel, to be useful again... Back when he could just simply help, when he had more to give and sacrifice to Dean. But he has to learn that his angelic powers aren't his only way to express his love to Dean and isn't just the only thing that can help. Just his love and acceptance of Dean I think is what is really going to help Dean out in the end. Honestly I think Cas when he sees that Dean is alive is just going to be relieved and hug demon!Dean and then try and help Sam figure out a way to get Dean back to being human.
I personally think that the lack of Dean and Cas interactions or mentions in the second part of season 10 have more to do with the Mark of Cain rather than the actors and/or writers. They gave us a bunch of stuff in the beginning with Cas pining for Dean and the shout outs in the musical episode. We have Dean even asking Cas to end him if he gets out of control and Cas just generally being worried about him. And of course the Cas/Collette parallels. Dean’s been a little off this season because of the Mark of Cain and having been a demon at the beginning of the season. He’s struggling with it. The worse he gets, the more he plays it off and tries to subtly distance himself from the people he cares about. That’s why I feel there’s no “chemistry” or “eye-sex” going on between them. Dean’s not doing well. At all. He has WAY more important things going on with him than whether or not he is in love with Cas or Cas is in love with him. When he was feeling decent, we got some of that fluff. But now that he is just going downhill, he can’t be bothered. Personally I feel that if Dean wasn’t behaving this way towards everyone (not just Cas), I would be a little confused when shit hits the fan with him especially if he was showing that lovely chemistry and having a lot of moments with Cas up until that point. That chemistry shows that Dean is feeling normal and okay. The chemistry is muted when he’s not. If Dean was acting normal, the characters and viewers would have no reason to suspect that he is handling this poorly and should the MoC flare up, it would seem forced. Now, they’ve always got problems in their life, so why didn’t that prevent Dean from making goo-goo eyes at Cas during the Apocalypse? Or when Sam was soulless? Or when the leviathans were wreaking havoc? Or when the angels fell? Or when Sam was possessed by an angel? The reason is because during all that time, Dean was sure of his personality. He knew what he was and wasn’t. He had control of himself. Yeah, he might have had nightmares or be guilt tripping about his time in hell or sad about all the death that follows the Winchesters. But he was still Dean. And he was human. Now Dean is dealing with something out of his control, that is forcing him to be a certain way, it’s changing him. He was a DEMON and he tried to KILL SAM. The MoC is trying to make that happen again. He doesn’t trust himself not to cause damage. That’s why he asked Cas to kill him if it got to that point. He’s trying to fight it, but he’s losing. He is not doing well. It’s because of that compromised state of mind that he’s in he isn’t being normal Dean and hence not creating a normal chemistry with Cas. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t still care about Cas and Sam and Charlie. It just means that right now, that’s not even a concern in his head. He just doesn’t want to hurt anybody even if that means his death or him leaving forever. That’s why I feel that there hasn’t been as much interaction between Cas and Dean in the second half of this season. After becoming human again, Dean felt reasonably well and we got some normal Dean that made everybody happy. Then he’s just kind of faded away because he is basically relapsing. This is just how I see it and why I personally am not discouraged. Would it be nice to see all that Cas and Dean fluff? Absolutely. But when I see it, I want it to be believable and not stand out. I want it to flow naturally and not be placed in there just for the sake of it. Even if it means that there is a point in the story line where they don’t get to interact as much, like right now. The nice thing that the writers’ are doing for us right now is continuing to show that Cas cares about Dean. That Dean is still always on his mind even if Dean can’t right now. That’s the other reason I believe that they aren’t deviating from the Cas and Dean relationship. (It’s also the reason I believe that Cas being canonically in love with Dean will be the first thing to come in their saga, but that’s a theory for another time) For now though, everything in the fandom is just speculation (including my own feelings and theories). Season 10 finale is almost here so lets’ see what they give us! :)
For a minute in that montage of Dean driving Baby while Sam was living his life I absolutely thought Dean was going to drive by Cas in the onion field and Dean would see him and then it would cut to Cas and Dean in the impala just talking and laughing while Sam lives out his life and then they end up on the bridge and we get the Winchester reunion. I got that from that damn onion meta lmao
