I don’t give a fuck about ‘the poetry of it’ and the symmetry of the brothers and shit.
For me, what drew me in was the prevailing message that family didn’t start or end in blood. Family is what you make of it, even if it’s can be weird at times (TFW & TFW 2.0).
Cas is family.
Shipper or not, Cas is family to both of them and they left him out of this. They threw him away with what they did. They take away every family that these boys get for themselves. Every. Damn. One. From way back to the bastard John Winchester to Ellen and Jo to Charlie and Eileen to Castiel, all of them have been robbed.
So yeah, go on a rant about whiny destiel shippers all you want, but that finale fucked up my family and I have the right to be pissed off about it.
This show means a lot to so many people. It could have been a big step in progressive media and they decided that that was for the birds. It was found family for the win until this shit hit the fan. I am not impressed.
