Also searching out images of said sam, dean and castiel reminded me of how very much I am not attracted to men. *These* are the guys fandom obsesses over? A mystery! But then again I suppose the same people are pairing them with *dogs* so.

LMAOOOO IKR? TBF the dude who plays Sam used to be cuter, I guess. IDK what the dogs looked like and I don't care to!

I think my first thought was "men really do just look like someone took all their features and squashed them". And given the hype, I was expecting *these* guys to look like, I dunno, Henry Cavill or maybe Legolas. I reached the Castiel image search and was like "But that's just some guy!"

Maybe they're amazing actors. I may never know.

Honestly I always thought fandom was being metaphorical when they talked about hotness and so on. Like I got that Castiel looks kind of friendly maybe and people were going nuts over Tom Hardy but legs open like a Denny's? Uh...

There's so *much* fic, though! 145971 Supernatural m/m. (Only about 51000 gen, which is the next biggest category). So maybe they're just really into the characters, but I dunno, I think by using Occam's razor somewhere Occam could never have imagined,we arrive at 'they find these dudes hot'. xD

From a former visual artist purely aesthetic standpoint, I think Ackles was legit gay porn star pretty back in his Days of our Lives days and is still pretty decent looking--he's aged better than a lot of pretty boys. Padalecki always looked weird to me, though, and looked even weirder as he buffed up and his hairline slowly retreated.

Ackles is also super charismatic, or was back in the day. 10 or so years ago, I remember some fan thing where he answered some fan question directly to camera, and it was like in Zoolander, getting hit with Blue Steel, like a physical force that made me blush and giggle even though I was alone watching a video clip on a laptop screen. Deeply weird.
