#Midam

[copia-is-best]

NOT WHAT I WANTED TO SEE TODAY BUT WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE?? OH MY GODS??

I need to write fucked up Midam. And I don't mean that in the kinky way.

Michael liking Adam, but he's still an archangel and Adam is just a human. The body may have been originally Adam's, but now it's Michael's to use, and Adam only gets to do so if Michael feels like being nice. If Adam is too annoying, Michael will ignore him, maybe even shove him down into the depths of his own consciousness, until his mood lifts and he remembers to pull Adam out again.

They spent a lot of time together in the cage, but compared to the rest of Michael's existence, it's not that long. And humans don't live forever - Michael knows that Adam will be gone within a blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Adam has spent several human lifetimes with Michael, and he doesn't know how else to live anymore. If he's not with Michael, what is he even going to do? The comment about getting a little job was part joke and part an attempt to see if Michael would let him. Michael scoffed at it, though - and Adam never brought it up again.

Adam has no family, or none that he considers to be family, and no friends or even acquaintances who don't think he has been dead for over ten years. He has no one to return to, nowhere to go. The idea that Michael would leave him, the only person he truly knows in this world and who knows him - it's inconceivable. He would do anything to have that not happen, no matter how much it hurts when Michael pretends not to hear him for a whole day, or two, or when he pushes Adam down.

Adam has no power, while Michael holds all of it. Sometimes, Michael is gracious, and lets Adam eat, or interact with people. He brings them places Adam mentions he wants to see.

But Adam isn't in control. Not of his body, or even his own mind. He loves Michael - must love him, because what else could it be when the thought of Michael leaving makes him feel like shaking and crying, even though Michael would never let his body do that?

It must be love, and so Adam needs to make sure that Michael loves him too, that he will stay with him. He's good at that, at being the good son, the good human, the one who does what he's told and cheers up the person he cares about, without a care for his own feelings. He can make sure that his existence doesn't trouble that person, that the person will never wish they hadn't gotten him, that they will never abandon him.

He's good at that. He did it for nineteen years, and then for a thousand, and he will continue to do it until the day he dies, because if Michael doesn't stay with him until the end, if he leaves, then Adam doesn't know what to do except lay down and die.

i love the domestication of angels in supernatural. adam was casually going on little dinner dates with the archangel michael. dean was making castiel watch his favorite movies. these are cosmic beings.

Woah cant believe i almost missed michaelmas… anyway happy birthday to Adam Milligan<3 and happy michaelmas to Michael too i guess. Take this quick doodle of Adam and his guard dog of an archangel

[anachronisticblues]

I genuinely thought michael called him a slur the first time I watched this scene i was tweaking out BAD

[hotel-casifornia]

adam and michael were in hell for over a thousand years. like fully think about that. that is a long fucking time to be in a single place let alone with another person. like i can hardly imagine being in the same space as one person and that one person only for a week with no breaks from them, let alone a year.

they were literally stuck together for going on decades.

no wonder theyre so different when they finally get out, they probably talked about what they would want to do a million times. they were moving around so much because they talked about where in the world adam would like to see if they got topside. they finally got out and what did they immediately go do? get a burger and fries. what an incredibly human thing to do. imagine the kind influence adam must have had on michael for him to sit there nicely and let adam enjoy something. michael, the character repeatedly stated in canon to be heavens strongest and deadliest weapon, sitting there on a dinner date.

If this isn't midam

I think its absolutely hilarious that Dean and Castiel go through inhuman amounts of trauma over the course of a decade plus, and somehow they still arent the human x angel ship on the show that has gone through the most detrimental mind bending shit. Michael and Adam were literally trapped in hell together alone for over 1000 years and they walked out the other side healthier than Dean and Cas could ever possibly be. Iconic really

[angelsdean]

reboot scenario where the camera stays frustratingly fixed on oblivious sam's pov during moments where destiel are clearly being romantic and about to kiss and we see them lean in but then sam walks out of the room to go do something and since *he* misses it so do we. but we all Know it's happening. like i cannot make it clear enough that it's literally so so obvious they're together at this point but sam just keeps missing Key Moments. also hilarious if midam reunite and we see jake abel make out with himself in high definition. they actually blow half the reboot budget just to make it look ultra-realistic.

[babyblue-mind]

i think what we have to learn from midam arguably being supernatural’s healthiest relationship is that we need to put dean and castiel in a box and not check on them for 1000 years

[hoziersmilligan]

adam milligan turned archangel michael into a lovesick mess who prefers adam to all of heaven. which could mean nothing.

[novastaree]

at least I think I'm funny

[ima-super-natural]

I can't believe I watched 327 episodes of supernatural only for my favorite character to be a guy who shows up in 5 of them.

[decayinabottle]

Do you guys think that first seasons Dean would've hated his later version of himself because of the similarities between him and John

How the spn characters are spending their November 5th
