Aside from the recent episode in which the subtext of the brothers relationship was acknowledged…
…. Wincest has been around on SPN for quite some time.
Sam and Dean know people out there ship them together
There are conventions with discussions of the “homoerotic subtext” in the Winchester story
Wincest fanfiction made it onto the screen
And even the real life and fictional creators of the story of the Winchester boys know the subtext is there.
So let’s take a look all that subtext.

another fun fact: there’s a deleted scene in s10 where demon!dean offers his blood for sam to drink if sam agrees to untie him - “we both know how much you used to like it, ain’t that right, sammy?”
Is how Sam has this just bonkers, bananas, insane attachment to Dean, that's also just entirely unexamined by him.
Like, it's a bit different on Dean's end. Dean is absolutely ludicrously attached to Sam as well, but Dean *knows* this. He talks about how "watching out for Sam" is his job and identity. He talks about how he knows he goes too far for him. He even acknowledges sometimes that he knows it isn't a normal or healthy way to be.
But then Sam. Intellectual, rational, introspective, analytical Sam. Sam the "more independent" brother. Sam the "selfish" brother. Sam who left, Sam who ran, Sam who maybe could have lived a normal life.
That guy started combing through John's journal halfway through Season 1, looking for a way to magick Dean out of dying. *He never even attempted this for Jess*. Jess died, he grieved. Dean was going to die, Sam's brain just did one big "NOPE!" And he never asked himself why that was.
And so it's gone throughout the series. Dean's in danger, Dean's gone, Sam loses his mind. Dean rejects him - or Sam just thinks Dean's rejecting him - Sam loses his mind some more. But... for a guy who seems really self-aware in other ways, prior to Season 11 the most he'd ever say would be a shrug and "He's my brother." It's almost like it doesn't even occur to Sam that this is something he maybe *should* examine. Like to him, if course anyone would react to their sibling's death that way (but not a spouse's death? Jess didn't raise that level of insanity in him). Of course the proper response to your brother being disappointed in you is to want to kill yourself. There's nothing to think about.
Dean knows it isn't normal. But to Sam, it doesn't even register.
Even later, when he had examined this enough to tell Dean they had to chill out a bit on the whole ending-the-world-to-save-each-other thing. He still told his mother that he and Dean only hug when it's "literally the end of the world." The fact that he didn't catch the inaccuracy of that comment, the fact that that's really what Sam thinks, is fascinating. This guy is usually a relatively reliable narrator. He's usually pretty good at seeing things as they are and not distorting. But he processed "Dean and I hug when death is on the line" as "We hug when the world is ending", and he didn't even catch that he did that. He didn't realize he had conflated "Dean dying" with "world ending." And that is so completely *not normal* for Sam in any other way.
Like, Dean is aware that he's bonkers where Sam is concerned, and he's aware of the pros and cons of being that way. Sam's out there straight-up stabbing people and drinking demon blood and releasing Darkness, saying "Well yeah, he's my brother." And that disconnect, in a guy who spends his life trying to know everything, is just... Agh.
Okay I’m trash I’m crying over Jared Padalecki and his hair and his hair in a man bun
@emmyroo002 @mrsjugheadjonesthethird @phanofmydreams
so i was looking through caps and i just noticed that the toothbrush sam uses in mystery spot:
is purple, as is the one he uses in jump the shark:
that’s a whole year difference not to mention the mystery spot cap was in an alternate timeline. and now i can’t get it out of my head; the image of sam picking a purple toothbrush each time because these are the cheap, plastic ones you buy when you’re traveling and you forgot yours at home except sam and dean are traveling all the time so i’m sure they go through a bunch of them.
and each time sam chooses purple like maybe that’s his favorite color and when he was little he’d be a little embarrassed and dean would tease him a bit and call him a girl and sam would blush and stubbornly pick out the same brush every time
and maybe he picks out other things in purple too like his boxers or his dumb socks or his other possessions.
basically sam winchester is a purple loving cutie pie and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Random J2 moments, yet again!
1. This photo (cut in two here) that we all know and love and that I’m including even though it’s probably suuuper over-posted:

Peek-a-boo!
2. This ‘baby Js partying it up’ moment from the olden days (you know, that time Jared also poured champagne into Jensen’s mouth):
3. Oh look! Another ‘baby Js’ throwback! Let’s put our heads together and really think this through...
4. The Js and their zero personal space...that time when Jared was so close to Jensen that he ended up kicking Jensen’s microphone up into his face when he was crossing and uncrossing his legs:
5. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this when Jensen was filming him? Jared, you tease: 😏
6. J2 ‘out-on-the-town’ date night photos:
7. Super-smitten Jared!
8. Lol, taking no-personal-space to an even more intense level: (who’s surprised by this, though? No one? Me neither)
9. This rousing game of ping-pong:
(posting a pt. 2 because there were way too many I wanted to include in this but couldn’t)
