Oh man, I agree so much. Well, you know I ship Destiel, but this whole idea that it's time for tptb to say if it's not going to happen.
My brain keeps saying, it's gone so far now that the only rational reason they wouldn't say anything for sure is if they are going that way and don't want to spoil it. Yay, my shipper brain thinks.
Then these asses come on twitter and are all like, "huh? Where's this all coming from? Never heard of it! What's a ship?" F*ck, my shipper brain thinks. That's that, then. Meanwhile, in the episode itself, Dean is touching Castiel like this and the fandom gets whiplash.
Then Osric & Misha chime in with thoughtful if still far from definitive statements. Misha's "You're not crazy" is actually slightly hopeful but possibly not. It's vague enough to be reassuring but not actually an indication of canon intentions.
People point out that Guy Norman Bee and Chad Kennedy need not know anything about the story or where it's going. Okay, some hope again. But throughout all this there's a resounding silence from Carver or anyone with real authority to say yes or no.
So we're back where we started wondering what the hell is going on.
I think it's interesting that even people outside Destiel fandom, like yourself, are saying it's time for tptb to commit either way. It's wrecking the experience of fandom and the show for so many people. They need to go one way or the other and stop f*cking people around, basically.
