#Too

#and what stings me a little more about this is how much metatron’s words here reminds me of crowley’s back in s6#“it’s either this or the apocalypse all over again. everything you’ve worked for- everything that *sam and dean* have worked for…gone.#…you can save us castiel. god chose you.”#it’s of course worded a little differently but it’s still the same “only you can do it” and “we need your special strength and protection”#just another “you’re gonna do this for *their* sake” while leading him to a very dangerous destructive path…#and of course when cas’ attachment to the winchesters became more of a hurdle than an exploit crowley urges cas to cut ties with them#only it’s interesting how metatron goes the opposite way and further manipulates cas through his desire to protect his loved ones#“his true weakness is revealed: he’s in love….with humanity” “ultimately it was all about saving one human right?” and all that.#AND THE “Locking Heaven/Protecting His Family” ISNT EVEN REAL!! he just ends up POWERLESS. UNABLE to PROTECT Sam and Dean#dean prays for help regarding sam and cas can’t answer. and instead dean has to tell HIM to go hide in the bunker to protect himself.#hmm yeah no wonder cas didn’t listen and instead tried to lead this other angel that of course ended disastrously…#“they don’t want your help castiel. they want your head. via @hoarderheart

Oh, this is wonderful!

BOOKMARKING MY OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS PARALLEL (wow this really is like a diary, isn't it?)

Reminding myself to lay out all the Crowley and Metatron parallels because Metatron meta is something I've done precious little of despite him being one of my absolute favorite characters.

Their almost one-to-one parallels in many instances are so DELICIOUS. It's more than the manipulation, it's also the scene where Dean faces off against Metatron and yells at him in season 9 (when he's trying to kill him), with dialogue that is SO SO similar to how Sam yells at Crowley in season 10 (when he's trying to kill him).

I will also say that the Alastair-Crowley parallels are top notch too, (and now just the first name and last name echoes). It's how they carve WHAT they want out of WHO they want and call it a miracle, hoping to make anew animal out of someone in their own tainted image, echoed in both Crowley using Dean as a knight of Hell and saying as Dean is reborn into a "new (animal) life"" and": "see what I see / feel what I feel."

WIth Metatron, it's a bif off-key, but he's still telling Cas to "go marry a human wife" in season 8. And in season 9, he's actively trying to mold Cas into what HE wants: a kind of Lucifer 2.0-style villain.

Underneath it all... It's all about using people to get what you want and/or making them into something else. Or worse, trying to make them into you, rather than appreciating them for who/what they ARE originally!

You have the real family screaming PLEASE STAY YOU when villains saying "eh, actually... be something else, like maybe be useful to me, or maybe be my a super soldier-weapon, or maybe even be LIKE me enough that no one else will want you and then I get to keep you and live vicariously through my image OF you."

EDIT:

9x23 - Dean VS Metatron (Dean is ANGRY and hell-bent on TAKING OUT THE THREAT and GETTING REVENGE)

DEAN [starting to unwrap the First Blade in his hand]: I'm blaming you for Kevin! I'm blaming you for taking Cas' Grace. Hell, I'm blaming you for the Cubs not winning The World Series in the last 100 freaking years. Whatever it is... I'm blaming you. METATRON: The First Blade. Nasty piece of work, isn't she?

Metatron knowingly hurt Cas and ordered the hit on Kevin.

///

10x22 - Sam VS Crowley (Sam is ANGRY and hell-bent on TAKING OUT THE VERY REAL THREAT and GETTING REVENGE)

SAM: You're the reason Dean has the Mark of Cain! Everything that's happening! All of this. It's your fault! So this.... you've had this coming for a long time. [CROWLEY sees that SAM is holding Ruby's knife.] CROWLEY: You really think I'm frightened of that toothpick?

Crowley ordered the hit on Kevin and knowingly hurt Dean.

///

Metatron knowingly destroyed Cas's angelicity, and Crowley absolutely knew what he was doing in destroying Dean's humanity.

being with kaiser means having to dissect your own heart while stitching up his.

chewing on him jn the tags and etc. don’t mind me

he’d be pretty mean at first. he’s gauging your reactions; would you run if you saw everything that haunted him? how he haunts himself? Kaiser does nothing but spit and snarl at you, like a stray cat that’s only been kicked to the curb.

but you don’t leave him alone. not like every other one-night stand he’s had—no, you’ve made him breakfast—a traditional german faire—and brushed and put oil in his hair (his favorite scent too; you tell him it’s been your favorite for a few years. something in him softens).

It’s so domestic he almost vomits after that, but on his first night away from your apartment, he can’t sleep. Practice is shit and he’s not performing well, to the point where he initiates a facetime call (kaiser hates initiating. it feels like begging for your attention, when yours should be solely on him anyway.) and you pick up instantly.

the time difference makes something shatter in him. You’re just waking up… hair messy and eyes bleary. You can hardly speak or hold up the phone…

“Mihya…? You okay?” you’re slumped in bed, wearing his sweater. He might combust (when did Michael become so attached to you? He doesn’t know, but he whispers your name like a prayer, like you’re his guiding light).

“I’m better now, dear. Let me tell you what that idiot of a striker did at practice—“ he rambled on, and watches you nod along. You him and agree with him, and a weight falls off of his shoulders. Kaiser can love you. Perhaps he already does…

It'd also make sense since the super bruiser ended up turning into the monk/swords dueling Jedi(or well their heirs) the archers would be their direct stand out counterpart.

Stanley not wanting to sit anywhere else at the pool because he had already decided which was his seat♡

I headcanon he has the thing where he has to sit in the same seat at the table and in the diner- it's his seat like the couch is his seat too and so is the driver's seat (unless he's teaching a bear to drive)

IT: CHAPTER TWO (2019) dir. Andy Muschietti

Honestly the idea of magical advisor Merlin is so fucking funny.

Like, you go that man, who used to be the king manservant (still kinda is) which is already a powerful position on its own but like…Now you know that the dude sitting there is like a whole army in one place. Your political power ? Worthless.

The power that your land give you by yielding a lot of food ? Useless

You got that man sitting next to you who not only have the ear of the king but is also like a whole ass kingdom in powerscale by himself. He is running late for every meeting because he had to ‘catch up with some things’, bickering with the king 24/7, throwing random background info about things that are ACTUALLY a big deal (‘oh, that place feel lively’ = hey we are in the middle of an atmospheric river of magic, it can either explode or give us nice dream <3).

Before you had to deal with an unhinged favorite-servant of the king now you have to grasp the fact that your king may actually be the favorite out of their deal.

i want to see more of phantom's just chilling and how humans interact with him aside from ghost fights

more of "ghosts bond by fighting" and the misunderstandings that come with it

more of "fentons basically adopt phantom before realising he's already their son"

just chill fluff, misunderstanding chaos and maybe mild angst

Okay I promise this isn’t aimed at Veilguard specifically (I think DAV avoids this issue in some areas more than others), but god it really does irritate me when a game or piece of media is overly careful to be inoffensive and safe. like you can be diverse and progressive and still challenge your audience, I promise.

I want bad things to happen. I want tension, I want messiness, I want character traits that are ugly. I want the heroes to have real flaws and if it takes place in a world where bad things are happening, I want to see and explore those bad things. I want gay characters to be able to get killed off. I want everyone to be in danger. I want games to tackle serious themes like sexual violence and suicide and child abuse. I want diverse villains, I want ignorant heroes, I want complexity and nuance and it’s so annoying to so often see progressiveness go hand-in-hand with unchallenging, because the creators are scared of fucking up something, pissing off the audience, and getting crazy backlash and/or death threats.

[donetbhlmao]

seeing this a lot online lately where people will look at character dynamics on a teevee show and go “god I’m so glad there’s no romance!” “Only platonic work besties here!” “they’re brother and sister/mentor and mentee!” “they could never date - they work together and that unprofessional! 🙁” and I’m GENUINELY like bestie… why do you hate mess… also if you wanted to watch people just do their job for the length of a season go review some cctv footage or something idk

So funny that most fear organizations usually have their people know they are serving something divine that will bring some kind of cosmic concept into the world, meanwhile the entity of having knowledge that wants it's people to know everything has the "You don't have any idea of what's going on at any point unless you work here for like five years and piece the weird shit together yourself" like... Does the eye enjoy watching the employes go down a matpat like spiral or is that just Jonah?
