One of the most underrated Cas scenes to me is this one from 9x13 when he’s with Bartholomew. There’s so much to unpack from their entire interaction but I’m focusing on this part where Bartholomew wants him to kill another angel and Castiel not only refuses but he says “my only choice was to kill or be killed.” And then:

I remember how shocked I was the first time I watched it, that Cas would decide that this was worth dying over.

Then I started to notice it happen again many more times, how he uses his life to be the ground on which he stakes his decisions and what he believes in. It’s something so different from how Sam or Dean react; they’re willing to sacrifice their lives to save people, not to back up a stand they’re making.

And I’m starting to think that it’s because Castiel is at heart and always will be a soldier. Soldiers put their missions above all, even and especially their own life. A soldier’s life exists to be a testament to the stand they take, the side they choose, the mission they believe in.

You can see it throughout the seasons, starting with that famous scene with Uriel where instead of continuing to resist he just says “I still serve God.” He can tell the odds are against him and instead of fighting in vain he makes sure Uriel knows that his death will be a witness to his belief.

Then again in s8 he tells Dean he knows the angels will want to kill him but he’s going back to Heaven with them in order to save his home. He doesn’t have to go back with them but he’s acknowledging the possibility of his death as a worthy price to pay to fix his mistakes.

In early s10 with his fading grace he also makes a choice to not bargain for his grace with Metatron. He’s not “there’s another way”-ing like Sam and Dean would, he’s making a choice not to kill another angel or make a deal with a rotten one and his life is the ground on which that choice stands.

Again in early s12 he mentions his life about the “cosmic consequences” and has no qualms about suggesting it as the price to pay for it. And at the end of s12 he tells Kelly he would die for her son. There’s no danger present at the moment but he again defends his choice with his life.

And I know some of these moments have been discussed as showing how little self-worth Cas feels he has but to me the value he does or doesn’t place on his life is also about who he is as a solider. He sees his life this way because of how he was trained; to him death is also a victory, and maybe because no one told him what it feels like to be left behind.

he is so cheeky in that sequence 😭

Charles : that’s a lot of information 😅

Pilot : we’ll talk about everything again when you’ll try, it’ll be ok!

Charles : it’s not anxiety-inducing but it’s completely new for me so I’m trying to learn as much as I can and to remember it all. It’s very close to the system we use in F1, there are a lot of buttons i don’t understand so it takes me back to my first laps in F1 😆 it’s almost the same as in F1 for the belt. For us, in F1, the state of mind is a bit different because here today the procedures have be learnt for security.

Pilot : that’s how you’ll try to direct us to find the best zone to land.

Charles : I can’t wait!

Pilot : it won’t happen!

Charles : I hope so 😂

Charles : In F1, those procedures are for the performance and if we forget one we can lose around a tenth/a tenth and a half each lap but if we forget one today I think it could cause more serious problems.

Pilot : if you land in tree, the procedure is to stay in the tree and wait.

Charles : I’ll stay in the tree, no problem!
