ahhh the moment dean looks at him like that and aaron realizes “oh shit he’s actually into this ABORT.” and immediately backtracks jfjdhdn THAT REALLY HAPPENED!
EXACTLY
God that fourth gif. Dean actually considers it. I think out of all the other mountains of evidence of Dean’s bisexuality throughout the series, this is actually one of the top moments because there is no other explanation for the way he looks at Aaron after Aaron compliments him there.
This isn’t a situation where Dean feels threatened. He doesn’t once tell Aaron he “doesn’t swing that way” or straight up say he’s not into dudes. He just says he can’t right now because of a “federal investigation”. When Aaron calls him interesting, its not the usual “you’re hot” or “pretty” that Dean gets quite a lot and usually in threatening situations or when he’s being objectified. It was “you are interesting” which caught Dean’s interest completely.
Of course, it’s at that moment that Aaron realises his gay act isn’t gonna put the guy off and he panics but too late, the show has already basically confirmed Dean’s bisexuality textually.
To go one step further, lets all remember how in the directors commentary of this scene both Phil Sgriccia (director) and Ben Edlund (writer) discuss how this opens up the potential for Dean to “find love in all places” and how much they both liked the idea of that.
Basically, Dean is hella bisexual and anyone who tries to disagree with that should be laughed off of social media.
Firstly (everyone’s screamed about this already; I’m still DYING fyi), Dean and Cas watch movies together (or Dean makes Cas watch his favourite Westerns like a cool, cultured hubbie should do).
God, just look at Dean’s lowkey scandalized face saying “Babe! How dare you suddenly forget the MOVIE Tombstone!”
(Meanwhile I’m laughing at Cas’ casual, vague summary of it because you have no idea how many times my mom talks like this when my dad would ask her if she remembered a certain action movie [he’s an action movie buff]. To my mom, the action genre consists of two things: guns and blown-up cars. That’s it. They’ve been married for 25 years.)
Secondly (of course), Cas watches these movies because Dean wants him to despite not having a fetish/obsession with Westerns and cowboy paraphernalia like Dean does. Happy Dean = Content Cas.
Thirdly:
Yep–popularized by Tombstone, the phrase is 19th century slang for ‘I’m the man you’re looking for’ according to Urban Dictionary (or ‘the man for the job’).
Here, Dean’s voice catches on a gasped inhale as he shakes his head (both in disbelief and amusement) at Cas’ endearing antics.
UGH. Textbook married.
Maybe once I gather my wits I can write proper meta alongside flailing but we’ll see–like I said, there’s barely any sub left in that text, if you ask me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
