I’m seeing a lot of commentary on the ending of #SPN & the recent Spanish dub & am disheartened to see there are a lot of misconceptions that are making many in our family feel unheard & unsupported, so I’m calling a #SPNFamily meeting to sort a few things out for the record:pic.twitter.com/hwK0HOkZ8a

Was the show perfect? No. Could Cas’ departure have had more resonance in the final episodes? Sure. But I’m confident you guys can sort that part out as your writing, art, and imaginations play the story out past the last frames we filmed.

I’m proud to have spent more than a decade of my life telling a story where good consistently triumphs over evil...

And I’m especially proud that my character’s parting message was, “expressing your true self, letting yourself love who you truly want to love, openly & honestly, can literally save the world… For in the end, good things do happen — & they’re worth fighting for.” I love you all.

I'm sorry if I spoke defensively. I naively thought Cas in 15.18 was going to feel validating. But this isn't about me. I'm going to shut up and listen for a change. If it's not too much to ask, please tell me what we could have done better.

I see lots of comments about how tone-deaf my video is. I agree and I feel sick. I want to delete it, but I think that will erase all of your important comments & I feel like I should own my ignorance. I've been wrestling with this all night & day. Don't know what to do. Sorry.

Misha, I love you, but this is bury your gays. It doesn't matter why it happened, it happened. Bury your gays isn't problematic because gay people died. It's problematic because it keeps happening. Was Cas' sacrifice noble, and good? Yes. The writers still wrote bury your gays.

Straight people died on the show as well. Any death on the show was made to fit the story line. Saying that only gay people died is not factually true.

it's bury your gays. yes, Cas didn't die on a technicality but ultimately he was completely erased from the narrative to avoid having to confront his confession. he was narratively buried for being gay
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

and if this many gay people are saying they feel it is in line w "bury your gays" then it is....and this problem extends beyond just castiel. nearly (if not all?) all gay characters in this show had died by the end. all of them.
