In case you haven\u2019t noticed: the guy offers Dean a hot-dog and Dean answers that he wants one<\/i><\/b>\u2026 then Amara stops him from having his hot-dog, but then she makes him reappear there and Dean look around and there\u2019s still the hot-dog guy selling hot-dogs<\/p>\n

So the question is: will Dean get his Cas<\/strike> hot-dog at the end of the show?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHow do you like your hot dog?\u201d
\u201cYay big, trench coat, sensible shoes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDark hair, blue eyes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seems accurate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

First cake, now hot dogs? Do destiel shippers just love making bisexuality into food?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oh, you have no idea! I love making asexuality into sushi. I have a pan friend that loves making pansexuality into sakura mochi, right @domlerrys<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Also I\u2019m flattered that you found my post so interesting and relevant that you felt like commenting on it. Thank you!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been featured into the destiew tag! It\u2019s great honor.<\/p>\n

I think now I\u2019ll go and make a meta about how apple pie represents familial love and pecan pie represents family in general and cherry pie represents Dean\u2019s attraction to women, with a special mention to tacos and pig in a poke\u2026 I might also take Sam into consideration too and discuss how salad and organic food represent his desire of feeling\u00a0\u201cclean\u201d. I might also discuss how corn syrup represented corruption while honey represented purity. And maybe also discuss the link between Death and junk food. And maybe if I still have time I\u2019ll write about the opposition between alcohol and coffee!<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think someone needs a trip to the sensitive house for taking such offense for being called out on their blantent disrespect towards misrepresenting sexualities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The funniest thing is that I was talking about Cas being the\u00a0\u201cdog that thinks he\u2019s people\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I actually love your meta outline, it\u2019s full of truth. Corn syrup vs honey, I love it! Whether or not you want to involve bisexuality in particular, it\u2019s clear that food and drink have symbolic meanings on Supernatural.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That thing where crazy!Cas offered them honey and sandwiches\u2026 I didn\u2019t realize it at the time, but he was being really helpful. The Leviathan corn syrup was in all food and drink by then, so Sam and Dean had been living on bananas and water. They needed some real food to boost their energy for the fight. Cas had collected the honey himself and he had sourced the raw materials for the sandwiches himself, in Europe. He offered them food that they could trust, that they could eat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love all of this. And yeah, while crazy!Cas was running around finding untainted and pure foods to sustain Dean and Sam, Dean was actively complaining to Sam that he couldn\u2019t live off the stuff they could find locally that was\u00a0\u201csafe\u201d to eat, because he\u2019s a warrior. Makes you wonder if Dean\u2019s longing for a decent sandwich was what sent Cas off on that quest for a decent sandwich\u2026<\/p>\n

But when the plot of an entire SEASON of the show revolved around food (from the Biggerson\u2019s TDK slammer goo to the tainted corn syrup to the leviathans trying to farm humanity as their own perfect food source), it\u2019s idiotic not to at least look for other instances in the series where food has been used as a metaphor for something else, from Gabriel and his sweet tooth to Dean\u2019s longstanding fixation on pie and recent interest in cake.<\/p>\n

Season ten also featured NUMEROUS occasions showing Dean sampling everything from croissookies to kale to egg white omelettes, and every cuisine in between (including one scene where much was made of the ridiculous variety of foods he had on his tray at one time). Someone took the time, money, and effort to stage all of those scenes, to include the foods specifically. In a tightly budgeted tv show, every prop that features on screen matters. Sure, some of the background stuff is probably random, but things that feature directly in the dialogue are usually there on purpose. This is just how visual storytelling works. To say that there\u2019s no subtext implied with the very specific food choices the writers, producers, directors, and set designers are including in the show is just plain silly, and every writer I know will agree with that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d also like to draw attention to the numerous instances where Sam sat back and watched Dean eating while having nothing himself (like when he first came back from Purgatory and Sam got Dean that cheeseburger), after we have several canon references to Dean being the one to\u00a0\u2018go hungry\u2019 while giving Sam his choice of the limited food they had available. The cereal from 1.18, the fact that Dean got himself arrested trying to steal peanut butter and bread in 9.07\u2026 and Sam still side-eyes Dean over his gross and indulgent eating habits, but he\u2019s often the one indulging Dean in the first place. Somewhere deep down, Sam understands it.<\/p>\n

Gah. Like @postmodernmulticoloredcloak, I could find a million food-related tangents to run down, but not right now. I need a snack. This post made me hungry. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
