Okay so this was a while back but im preety sure you had mentioned an au of yours where dean is a serial killer and cas successfully stalks him but i don't think you talked about it more than that and i just really want to hear a bit more bc that idea sounds so tastefully fucked up

okay so. weeks later i finally end up answering this ask. it inspired this post btw. anyway spn is a show that's like. all about justifications, as i said in the post inspired by this ask. it's about having no choice and doing what you have to do. and like there is the phantasy embedded in it, a phantasy that is both indulged and punished. but most importantly it's justified. the monsters are super strong to show how brave our heroes are for fighting them, the main characters let out great wails of grief every time their lady loves are violently ripped from them (even though now they are free to do whatever they want), the narrative twists to show our heroes as correct whatever they do. the fantasy (of being allowed to enact violence, of being free from feminine "control," of being right) comes first. the material construction of the universe of supernatural comes afterward. whatever the fantasy is, the universe of supernatural will provide material conditions to justify its acting-out.

and what this means is that our protagonists, dean in particular, are constantly doing just horrific things, which in any other circumstance would be unconscionable. but the universe of supernatural provides justification for these acts. the point of my serial killer au which i think about so so so much is to ask the question: what if these justifications melted out from under their feet? what if dean was left holding nothing but a lie and the weight of everything he's done?

therefore, the premise of my au is such (under the cut because this baby is long):

john and mary winchester, in the mid seventies, joined a doomsday cult known as the men of letters. the men of letters were rather unusual for a doomsday cult, in that they believed that the apocalypse could be prevented by human behavior. this started as correct living, correct worship, yadda yadda, the kind of behavior and thought control that cults are known for, but with the justification of: if you don't do this, the world will end. eventually, this escalated to human sacrifice. the men of letters managed to untraceably kill two homeless people in the late seventies. but they eventually fell apart. however, a month after john and mary left the men of letters (mostly john's choice, mary still believed), mary died in a house fire. john took it as a sign from god that actually, the men of letters were right, and the world would end unless john himself did something about it. so he took some of the (intensely numerological) theology of the men of letters. and he worked out his own formula. and he applied it to the yellow pages. and started ritualistically killed people to prevent the apocalypse, with his two sons in the back of the car.

now, obviously, this is some kind of grief induced temporary madness on john's part, shaped by the mental abuse he suffered in the men of letters. but the thing is, once you've killed a couple of people to prevent the apocalypse. well. there's this thing called the sunk costs fallacy. john wasn't gonna question his own beliefs after that.

and he raised his boys to believe it, too, or at least he raised dean to. they didn't tell sam what they did until he was twelve, and sam didn't buy it, tried to call the cops on them several times but in the end, they always prevented him. eventually sam ran off to stanford, where he now lives under a cloud of guilt that he's too loyal to his family to rat them out.

john died a few years back of a heart attack, but dean is convinced it's because he messed up a ritual two weeks before it happened, so it pushed him further into this belief system.

dean's killings (and john's before him) are ritualistic and distinctive, obviously the same killer each time. but they happen anywhere in the united states, seemingly at random, there are inconsistent amounts of time between each one (sometimes as short as days, sometimes as long as years), and there is no particular victim profile. obviously, since our killers are following an arcane mathematical formula to make their choices for them, but the police don't know that.

castiel novak is an unemployed shut-in with a small inheritance which he's living off of, a cryptography degree, and an obsession with all things morbid. he spends most of his time on the reddit true crime forums, playing amateur sleuth. by complete chance, he happens to recognize one of the symbols frequently used in corpse displays by the so-called sioux falls satanic slaughterer (so named because the first time three of his victims were in the same part of the country, it so happened that they were all in sioux falls, south dakota. this was in the late eighties.) as being mostly only used by a little known cult group called the men of letters, which dissolved in the mid eighties.

he only notices this because, as a teen, he had a special interest in cults and fringe religious groups. the men of letters weren't a particularly notable or well known phenomenon; they were small, and a lot like every other cult that formed during the seventies cult boom. (no outsider ever heard about the human sacrifice; there were rumors, of course, but they were garbled, sensationalized, and mixed up with satanic panic fodder.)

(the men of letters' two sacrifices were nothing particularly romantic or fantastical. they first lured panhandler josie sands back to their compound with promises of food and a warm bed when she admitted she couldn't get a bed at a shelter, and was thinking of getting caught shoplifting just so she could be under a roof in the county jail. the men of letters' leader, a man who took on the name alistair, forced his inner circle to dress in the ceremonial black robes he had given them when he initiated them into his nearest and dearest, and which his wife had sewn out of old bed sheets and dyed black with home made oak gall dye. these robes still left black smudges on the wearer's skin occasionally if they sweated too much. josie was laid, bound, on the altar, a slapdash thing constructed over the course of two days from scrap plywood and a couple of milk crates. a rich red tablecloth purchased at macy's for $3.99 hid its ugliness and gave it grandeur. alistair attempted to kill the struggling miss sands by bringing a sharpened kitchen knife down on her bosom and piercing her heart, but, having never killed a human or even slaughtered an animal before, was unaware of the problem presented by the human ribcage. after rather ineffectually poking at the area beneath sands' bosom with his knife while she shrieked in pain and terror for about ninety seconds, alistair tried a different tack, and slit her throat, which worked just fine, and she bled out quite nicely. the second and final victim of the men of letters was a local vagrant named larry ganem, an older gentleman who walked with a limp. he was lured back to the compound in approximately the same manner as sands, but instead of being bound, he was fed stew laced with sleeping pills. even if alistair hadn't slit his throat, he wouldn't have woken up. it's actually arguable whether he was still alive at time of sacrifice; mary winchester (eight months into her first pregnancy), who, as a member of the inner circle, was in attendance, actually tried to take ganem's pulse as he lay on the altar (now covered by a different tablecloth; the red one had turned stiff with sands' blood and been subsequently burned) and found nothing, so it is entirely possibly only sands' death can be directly laid at alistair's feet, and ganem's is the fault of mrs. ellen harvelle, who prepared the laced stew. regardless, these two deaths are lessons in the nature of human evil: it is very rarely skilled, suave, or smooth. it's often slapdash, half-hearted, and just plain incompetent. but that makes it no less grisly. alistair may have begun to drink his own kool-aid, as it were, and escalated this far out of genuine belief that the apocalypse was coming and it was up to him to stop it, but it is far more likely that he sensed the imminent collapse of his little empire, and wanted to bind his subjects to him through the horrors of shared guilt, considering two lives a small price to pay for the continued loyalty of his inner circle. and the tactic worked: the men of letters didn't start to collapse in earnest until almost four years later. perhaps if alistair had continued the killings, the men of letters could have lasted for far longer, maybe even up until the present day. but it seems that alistair, a psychiatrist by training and unused to violence, simply didn't have the stomach for it. unlike, say, john winchester, who before his time with the men of letters had done a two year tour in vietnam, during which he had killed three living, thinking human beings with the american government's go-ahead.)

anyway. castiel is the first person, ever, to make the connection between the men of letters and the sioux falls satanic slaughterer. and once that connection is made, castiel begins to research the men of letters far more in-depth. and he notices something: the theology of the men of letters was intensely numerological, filled with patterns, significant numbers, and even spiritual equations.

castiel thinks of the seemingly random selection of the slaughterer's victims, and has an epiphany.

he cracks all his fingers, and gets coding.

six months. it takes castiel six months to discover an equation that could fit the slaughterer's pattern. it's complex, but also clearly based on several of the men of letters' holy numbers, and accounts for every single one of the killings. it also suggests that there should have been two or three more deaths scattered across the years, but more than likely those did happen, it's just that they weren't reported as part of the slaughterer's portfolio.

but much more importantly, castiel's model can also make predictions. there will be two killings, fifteen days apart, in a city seven hours' drive away, six weeks from now.

so castiel waits. and he books a hotel room. and two months later, he's waiting outside 217 oak street when a shadowy figure climbs up a tree and lets itself into the upstairs window.

dean winchester is feeling particularly all alone in the world when he breaks into maisey banks' home (217 oak street). his father has been dead for half a decade, and he hasn't spoken to his baby brother for twice that. it's not like this whole grizzly saving the world business makes him a lot of friends. so once he's done killing maisey (which is easy, she was ninety three and dying of cancer anyway. she doesn't even wake up when he slits her throat) and arranging her corpse in the appropriate manner, with prayers and sigils, he turns around. and sees a man standing behind him.

smiling slightly.

as he watches dean gut this old woman.

dean freezes.

the man takes a step forward.

"you're very attractive for a serial killer who's been operating since the eighties."

dean is silent.

"family business, is it?"

silence continues.

"i'm not here to report you to police. i'm just here to see if my algorithm worked right."

and dean finally breaks his silence: "what the hell is wrong with you?"

what's fun here is that dean knows (or rather "knows") that he isn't a serial killer. so he finds what cas is doing, this amoral serial killer stormchasing, morally repugnant. because cas has no way of knowing he isn't a regular serial killer.

there's also the fact that that cas proceeds to flirt with him. aggressively. and follows him back to his motel.

but the thing is that dean is all alone in the world. and as cas continues trailing him around, he starts getting, well, flattered. and feeling a little bit less alone.

it doesn't take very long before they fall into bed. even if cas is an amoral stalker with a fetish for what dean considers a distasteful yet necessary vocation.

so. they fall into bed. they fall in love. they make a little life together, in dean's big sexy car. dean tries to explain to cas that he's saving the world. that these people's lives are a necessary price to pay. and cas seems to listen.

of course, castiel doesn't believe a word of it. but he's found that he likes dean. really likes him. and he realizes that the collapse of dean's belief system would destroy him.

so he sets about becoming as complicit in it as possible.

even to the extent where, when dean is hit by a car and ends up into the hospital a day before one killing is meant to take place, castiel agrees to take on the job. (he doesn't actually kill anyone, obviously. but he does use his extensive skill with computers to create three fake newspaper articles which make it look like he has.)

but five years later, something goes wrong. really, really wrong. dean miscalculates the formula. and by the time he checks his work, the actual date of the next kill, as demanded by the formula, has passed. in fact, so have three others. and the world didn't end.

dean collapses. he hyperventilates. all those people. all those people. for no reason. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people. all those people.

cas seems totally unfazed. dean stares at him in shock. but cas just takes dean in his arms, and whispers in his ear: "oh, dean, i never believed in the equation. i love you no matter what you've done."

and dean buries his face in cas' chest.

Neena Gupta and Chunky Panday be part of a likeable solid in an uneven anthology- Leisure Information, Firstpost

http://tinyurl.com/yyhdnv2z Forged: Neena Gupta, Chunky Panday, Amit Sial, Lalit Behl, Pramod Pathak, Shahriyar Atai, Kamil Shaikh, Delnaaz Irani, Merenla Imsong, Veera Fauzia Saxena, Anurita Jha, Saurabh Goyal, Mohit Chauhan, Preeti Hansraj Sharma Director: Praveen Fernandes, Hanish Kalia, Heena Dsouza, Sanjiv Kishinchandani, Avalokita, Gaurav Mehra Language: Hindi Score: 2.5 (out of 5 stars) Shuruaat Ka Twist (The Twist on the Begin) is a six-part omnibus quantity of quick movies, its distinctive function being that the administrators are all debutants who’ve been mentored by Bollywood stalwarts. This after all makes it stand aside from different compilations by the trade equivalent to Bombay Talkies and Lust Tales, which have drawn consideration for getting top-ranking, blockbuster-making function administrators like Karan Johar and Zoya Akhtar to dabble on this experimental house. Shuruaat Ka Twist‘s mentor record is a roll name of a few of Bollywood’s high pictures although: Raj Kumar Gupta (No One Killed Jessica, Raid), Vikramaditya Motwane (Udaan, Lootera), Rajkumar Hirani (the Munnabhai sequence, three Idiots) and Amit V. Masurkar (Newton). The anthology begins with a really quick quick titled Faucet Faucet by Praveen Fernandes starring Chunky Panday as an out-of-work musician desperately in quest of inspiration and discovering it in an sudden place. Faucet Faucet is trustworthy to the general theme spelt out within the title, delivering an sudden twist ultimately. That is intelligent, concise, sharp and consequently enjoyable fare. It additionally builds a strong case for producers to solid the underrated Panday in additional roles and to again Fernandes for a full-length movie. Chunky Panday in a nonetheless from Faucet Faucet. Subsequent comes Khauff by Hanish Kalia, which stars Amit Sial as a person searching for medical assist for an inexplicable phobia: he stays awake each evening fearing that he’ll die. Pramod Pathak performs his therapist. This mini film falls within the psychological thriller style, and at its mid-point is simply the kind of movie about which these of us who take into account ourselves “critical movie buffs” are inclined to get cocky and begin prematurely crying, “predictable!” Be affected person, oh thou cynic: it’s not. Removed from it. Sial has been a constant performer in Bollywood however has not to this point been rewarded with the display house he deserves. Right here in Khauff he does properly as an enigmatic, apparently tormented soul. And Kalia’s route gives an apt lesson to his seniors who’ve, previously decade, assumed that the path to horrifying an viewers is a high-decibel background rating, grating sound results and sudden digital camera actions. Khauff is genuinely scary and its sound design is superlative. Like Faucet Faucet, it’s good, small and entertaining. From right here on although, Shuruaat Ka Twist turns into uneven. Adi Sonal by Heena Dsouza has a heat second of feminine bonding ultimately, of the type that we don’t see typically sufficient in mainstream Hindi cinema, which prefers to dip into social stereotypes just like the evil saas harassing her bahu and the evil bahu torturing her outdated saas-sasur. That scene dropped at thoughts one other uncommon Hindi movie older-woman-younger-woman equation from a number of years again: a mother-in-law (Tanvi Azmi) providing a listening ear to a daughter-in-law (Priyanka Chopra) whose coronary heart has been damaged by her untrue husband. Learn: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Neena Gupta in Adi Sonal is the matriarch of a joint household wherein the male head (Lalit Behl) does nothing all day however demand to be served, and the strain of labor results in some stress among the many girls who, regardless of that, share an underlying unstated understanding between them. Dsouza is efficient in capturing the drudgery of their existence, the patriarchal nature of conventional marriages and joint households, and the fear that home violence brings. Neena Gupta in a nonetheless from Adi Sonal. That stated, Adi Sonal feels stretched, particularly coming because it does proper after the clipped tempo of Faucet Faucet and Khauff, and the writing of the opposite two girls characters is just not as complete as it’s with Gupta’s character and her struggling youthful feminine relative. Its flaws however, the unusual empathy for girls made me curious to see what Dsouza would possibly do subsequent. Bhaskar Calling by Sanjiv Kishinchandani is an entire departure from the tone of the remaining 5 shorts. This one doesn’t have any pretensions to nice mental depth, in actual fact it pointedly – and fortunately – refuses to be a profound touch upon the loneliness and helplessness of the aged. Shahriyar Atai is a hoot as an ageing Parsi gentleman dwelling alone when he receives a go to from a housing mortgage officer (Kamil Shaikh) whereas his daughter (Delnaaz Irani) is away at work. To be trustworthy, midway by way of I kinda sorta figured what the outdated chap was as much as, however no matter! I had chortle watching Bhaskar Calling. Guththi (The Knot) by Avalokita is the movie that almost all resembles in tone a piece by the director’s mentor. Amit V. Masurkar’s calling card right this moment is Newton, however earlier than he made that movie, there was a beautiful, conversation-heavy, hilarious cum ruminative however sadly under-noticed gem known as Sulemani Keeda. At first the conversations between the 2 flatmates performed by Merenla Imsong and Veera Fauzia Saxena are good due to how actual they really feel. Guththi brings dwelling the acute closeness that may develop between two very totally different people in a sprawling metropolis, their lives far faraway from a traditional household state of affairs. It’s also a melancholic reminder of how a lot we’re compelled to surrender after we make selections we’re eager on. Regardless of its promising topics, Guththi sags after some time. Nonetheless, Avalokita is one other expertise value exploring additional. Apart: Misspellings in movie credit are infuriating. The director’s identify seems twice, first instantly after Guththi after which within the rolling credit proper on the finish of the anthology. So is it Avalokita or Avlokita? The closing movie in Shuruaat Ka Twist is essentially the most self-indulgent of the lot and irritatingly gimmicky. Gaurav Mehra’s Guddu options Anurita Jha as a teenager making an attempt to flee a wedding her father is forcing her into. The climax is a name for open-mindedness in direction of each sort of love on this world, however by treating a delicate subject as a mere software to attract a pant from the viewers reasonably than exploring it with any diploma of understanding, Mehta finally ends up trivialising it. Guddu can be essentially the most technically iffy quick on this half dozen. The continuity points in a scene wherein the leads, Guddu and Nishant (Saurabh Goyal), sit chatting in a automobile ought to have been cause sufficient to cut this one out of the set. The automobile door on the passenger facet is, in successive pictures, proven open, closed, open and closed. It boggles the thoughts that such inefficiency handed muster in a movie with so many main lights connected to it. Guddu‘s ineptitude pulls down the complete anthology, coming because it does proper on the finish. Faucet Faucet and Khauff‘s polish, the poignance of Adi Sonal and the merriment in Bhaskar Calling merited a greater companion than this one. Nonetheless, as such movie collections go, 4 out of six is fairly spectacular.
