Agree so much. Also your tags. The fact that they automatically jump to violence in their defence of their ship baffles me.
Yeah. Like, you wanna talk over-invested? There you go.

While I agree that people are overreacting, I still say that Samulets significance lies primarily in Sam and Deans relationship, and in portraying the trust or lack of trust they hold for each other.

And while Cas did have it during s5, I think that was significant primarily because it was in a way placing Cas in Deans daddy dilemma of earlier seasons, especially since he was looking after God.
And that just goes to my point. That it has different significance for different characters. And if a fanartist wants to focus on one character over another, in what is a fairly open-ended piece of work, then what’s the problem?
Another level of significance that some fans see is that Dean giving Cas the amulet was part of their tentative, growing trust and partnership. And while I don’t really buy into it myself, I think it’s valid? So if someone wants to focus on that over the Sam/Dean aspect of it then, again… what’s the problem?
Now I want to write fanfic of Dean and Cas having sex while Cas wears the amulet just to watch people take a hairy.
… while in the backseat of the Impala, because there are Wincest shippers who are ridiculously possessive of the Impala too.
It’s one thing to be upset with Destiel shippers for “making everything about their ship” when, for example, it’s reducing Charlie/Gilda down to a ~parallel~, thereby de-centring canon sexual minorities from their own story for the sake of a non-canon dudebro pairing.
It’s quite another to get upset at fans for using canon elements in their fanworks. The amulet is important to Dean and Cas had it in his possession for a long time in canon. Cas rides around with Dean in the Impala in canon.
These are simply objects in the SPN universe that people assign varying levels of significance to. The fact that different fans handle them differently is just a fact. And frankly, not one that makes much sense to get upset over.
Like, there’s plenty to be critical about in the episode, and I’m not terribly enthusiastic about it myself
But WOW the negativity at SpoilerTV is just overwhelming

uh oh Misha and Cas haters getting riled up?
Carina Mackenzie wrote a big article on Zap2It about how Castiel is a problem for Supernatural. And like, I agree that the writers have issues in dealing with his character, but the whole article is pretty scathing of the character and his arc in general.
so there’s some stuff in this article that I agree with, but mostly it makes me want to say, “fuck off”.

Are people mad at Dean for being harsh on Cas?
I mean, I don’t think that Cas ~deserves~ the silent treatment, because he did think he was doing the right thing, and there is some question of whether he was acting of his own volition or the tablet compelled him to go off on his own.
But I also don’t think that this is all about Cas. This is about Dean. And Dean having the right to his feelings, and his sense of betrayal and abandonment. And the right to protect himself from being hurt again. And if that means being cold with Cas, then that’s his prerogative.
