Things I hope people ask Misha this weekend:
- Is Cas going to feel guilty for all the angels falling? Or is this something that can be placed squarely on Metatron’s shoulders?
- Now that he’s human, do you think a wardrobe change is in the cards for Cas?
- How similar is this going to be to the last time Cas lost his powers? How do your acting choices differ for de-powered vs. Powered-up Cas?
- Based on one of his interviews, it seems like Jeremy Carver knows what’s going to happen to Cas next season. Has he told you anything at all?
this is the last time misha is billed as just a “special guest star” :)

ok misha
i like you and a lot of things you’ve done
but i am so disappointed in you right now
you don’t get cookies because you think you’re a great ally to the community “with all those letters”
i know you think you’re being funny but your words hurt people
i know you think that every…

That’s a very interesting topic because it’s one that really upsets a lot of people in one way or another. I probably shouldn’t talk about it - I shouldn’t talk about it. In fact, that should probably be the right answer. I shouldn’t talk about it. No comment? Plead the fifth?
There is clearly a very, very profound bond between the two. And I will leave it to you to read into that what you will, because I don’t want to be accused of queerbaiting or any of these other things that I am not doing.
Doing something like this, you have the opportunity to reach a lot of people, and that’s a really gratifying and lovely experience. You also have the opportunity to very easily piss off a lot of people. That can be lovely as well. But I sometimes have to resist the temptation to engage, like, “Hold on you fuckers, that’s not - “
I did a convention in Seattle. I don’t know what it was I said or what transpired, I don’t know what it was. But people got upset and I feel like it was really unfair, what was said.
First of all, I think the term “queerbaiting” is not accurate. It pissed me off, because I feel like a real champion of that community with all those letters [LGBTQA] - you know, I’ve officiated gay weddings. Also, I don’t know understand what the term means.
At the same time, it’s imbued with a lot of meaning in a lot of ways and there are a million different interpretations open. I hesitate to call it an artform, but it is one, especially when Ben [Edlund] is writing. It’s a lot of things. It’s deep and meaningful.
Is it love? Probably. What does that mean? It’s a million different things. At the very least, it’s a complex relationship. One of them is a celestial wavelength of intent, which is obviously a difficult kind of being to have a relationship with. “Yeah, you know, my boyfriend, he’s great, but he’s a celestial wavelength of intent. So a lot of times, when he sleeps over, I don’t know what’s going on. Because he’s there and then he’s not there and then he’s back again and then he’s in my head, literally in my head”
So yeah, it’s a very intense relationship. Let’s leave it at that. What is that? Am I a politician? They love each other, but it’s purely sexual.

It’s always nice when straight allies demand cookies for being champions of the lgbtq+ community and think they can never do anything problematic because they’ve “officiated gay weddings”.
Misha, I like a lot of things about you, but you have to admit when you’ve fucked up.
Also…that community with “all those letters”?? Fuck you.

supermishamiga:
Misha answers seriously. Finally! It all depends on how you ask the question you know?
And obviously, he can’t really say more than he said. I’m pleased, but I’ll wait for the video to see it myself.

Psst! Hey everybody!
Misha recognizing the misogyny in Supernatural is great! However! He has also done some shitty stuff! Misgendering is p big with him, using slurs, that sort of thing.
Misha seems to be a generally good person and he’s done some really wonderful things! But but but! You should still hold him accountable for some of the not-so-great things he’s said and done (◕‿◕✿)
