Destiel

Ooh. The ship of Dean and Castiel, from the show Supernatural.
Both actors are weirdly okay with said ship.
Too okay.

Destiel Shipper

A person who ships the romantic relationship between Dean Winchester and Castiel on Supernatural (TV Show). The relationship is entirely valid, as are all other ships. Destiel shippers are not any less of fans because they ship Destiel. Likewise, fans who do not ship Destiel are not "homophobic", their view is entirely as valid. Destiel shippers often have the uncanny ability to reference subtext and gifs proving the canonical existence of destiel effortlessly.
Person 1: are you a destiel shipper?
Person 2: *laughs nervously* *trips* *hundreds of pictures and gifs showing destiel subtext spill out of jacket*
Person 2: maybe just a little...

Destiel Shipper

A Supernatural shipper that does not actually like the show, and only watches it because of the made up slash fiction in their head regarding Dean Winchester and Castiel. They tend to not have the ability to grasp the idea of context, believing any scene where Dean and Cas talk to each other constitutes queerbaiting because they look at each other. They have a tendency to call most people homophobes for not agree with their views; this can range from the writers on the show (even the gay ones) to the actors -- except Misha Collins, any instances of queerbaiting fans at convention panels on his part is ignored.
Destiel Shipper: Destiel is so canon, did you see how Dean looked at Cas?
Normal Person: You mean like a regular person would in a conversation?
Destiel Shipper: No look at these gifs on Tumblr. See romantic subtext.
Normal Person: Those gifs are chopped out of a larger scene removing any context.
Destiel Shipper: Homophobe.

pull a destiel

when a show, movie, or other piece of media hints at a character having romantic feelings for another character of the same sex only for one of the characters to come out/confess their feelings and immediately die. Inspired by the series finale of the show, Supernatural, where the character Castiel confessed his love to his friend, Dean, only to get sent to "super hell" right after. Also under the bury your gays trope.
Person A: OMG Byler is totally going to be confirmed canon in season 5 of Stranger Things!
Person B: Nah, they're totally gonna pull a Destiel and kill off Will.
Person A: Shut Up!

On November 5th, 2020, the CW show Supernatural aired a controversial episode in which a lead character, Castiel, confessed his love for the main character, Dean. Fans have been shipping the duo for 12 years, with the ship name “Destiel” (aka Deancas). The Supernatural fandom is one of the most vicious, and Destiel is a name known to nearly every Tumblr user. So, when it finally became canon after 12 years, 11 seasons, of queerbaiting, chaos ensued. The tag “destiel” trended higher on every social media platform than the US election that was going on at the time.

Memes were created. After the episode aired, someone started a rumor that Russian leader Vladimir Putin was resigning. How did everyone find out? Through Destiel memes. For ~12 hours, everyone was convinced that Putin was really stepping down. The next day, the Kremlin scrambled to deny it. This fiasco will forever correspond with Destiel, and honestly that’s hilarious.

While all this was going on, the US election was as well. Americans were stressed as one of the most crucial elections in modern history was taking place. Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania were all important states in determining the next President of the USA. Unfortunately, all three states were taking a long time to report the votes. This was largely due to the current president, Donald Trump, suing those states for voter fraud. Georgia turned blue, as well as Pennsylvania. Everyone got the news from Destiel memes.

Destieled

The premature truncation of a romance arc between two characters on a television series by showing half the couple declaring love right before being pulled out of the story, then actually killing the other half of said couple before any reaction can be shown to confirm reciprocation.

See also: Desti-edging (Urban Dictionary)

See also: Schrödinger's Ship - when it's a canon-romantic couple due to overwhelming use of romance tropes and a love declaration from half the ship, but also left "open to interpretation" by viewers who want to see it as platonic because the writer(s) deliberately left it ambiguous by removing/killing the couple before the other half can respond to said love declaration and confirm reciprocation.
