#Jessifer gets on Azazel's case to just Get A Fucking Dude to open the hellgate to loosen Lilith

[19catsncounting]

I can't find any reason why Bela Talbot couldn't have been the righteous man who breaks in Hell to set off the apocalypse so you know what that's how Jessifer might speedrun the first four seasons.

Bela Talbot sold her soul to kill a child predator. Bela was a child whose first act of autonomy was saving and condemning a child - herself. Bela steals, lies, probably kills - none of these are disqualifiers for the title of righteousness. Bela does bad things to bad people, she puts herself in a very dangerous underbelly where she has nothing but her wits, charm, and a few goodies she's scrounged up. And she put herself there. She doesn't have to live in a world full of monsters, but that's where she believes she belongs. That's where she tries to save herself. She has more agency and autonomy and more of a space to define herself as righteous than Dean can when a year out from John's death, he is still living in his shadow.

And the tragedy of the righteous breaking under the weight of the rack is how undeserved it is. How the world should have stopped to fight against it. And Bela Talbot Didn't Fucking Deserve It.
