#and misha is so so god damn good this season

[passiveagressivepoet]

i’m half way through s12 and my god it’s so fucking fantastic. the writing, the acting, the soundtrack, the camera angles, i’m obsessed

[quietwingsinthesky]

(I got an error message when I tried to send this so sorry if you get this twice!) Yeah "moldy pennies" is just a really unfunny & uncreative play on mark p's name. I 100% agree with that fandom post re: separating actors from their character, & even if I didn't... Misha just didn't do a good job as casifer, & I care way more about the performance/art of television (which I know sounds silly re: late supernatural, but just because something is bad doesn't mean we can't have standards)

Yeah, overall I don't have an opinion on the spn actors beyond 'did they do well at their jobs' because it's none of my business and doesn't interest me. i'm not unaware of The Controversies, but one thing you've got to admit, mp understood the assignment. he understood the assignment better than the writers lmao. i genuinely think his performance is the saving grace of late seasons lucifer.

misha collins. i have no idea if it was the writing, the directing, or his own choices, but he is missing something. it really stands out specifically when you watch the episode where you go from nick!lucifer to casifer, there's just something off about the way he plays it. not to say 'season 5 did it better' but i will forever remember in swan song when we finally go from nick!lucifer to sam!lucifer and how eerily good the transition was. casifer is making the noises and doing the dance, but i. do not think misha collins really knew what he was doing askjdalsjd. again, not totally his fault because late seasons lucifer is a nearly unsalvageable trainwreck of bad writing, but i Do Not Like Watching Him.

Can u translate this Taylor swift stuff into supernatural so I can understand?

Ummmmm. Ok. Imagine supernatural used to make real bangers and it took years to make this happen like 5 year hiatuses etc. but it was Good. It was winning Emmys rightfully. It was critic praised. And then they announce a new season and it’s the worst thing you e ever heard. Start to finish the WORST thing you’ve ever heard with one glimmering star. Imagine a season that’s like. Dog dean afternoon. Bloodlines. Bugs. And you go. God damn I can never watch this again. And then there’s a web release short released after the finale. The finale that was bugs. And the short released online is the man who would be king. So. The ratio is quite bad but it IS a mixed bag. This part of the metaphor is about midnights. Now. This season of supernatural? A flop. Obviously. Clearly. You go. Well! It’s over. You are disrespecting the integrity of supernatural. But Normal Viewers loveeeeee it it’s getting great Nielsens it’s pushing boxsets. And you feel crazy. Because it’s bad. And then on the heels of this they announce supernatural world tour. And you go ok surely they’re going to take time off from writing new supernatural because of this year long tour they’re busy with. And then they go guess what. We ARE writing more supernatural. And they do. And it’s. Not good. Like it’s not a season long string of bugs like the last season was. But it’s a long season of episodes where nothing happens and nothing stands out and it’s all shot like visual filler and written like they just need to get any old ep out. It’s episode after episode of bog standard motw with no character work or chiaroscuro over misha collins face it’s all padding the whole thing. Which is technically. An improvement over the last season of garbage. But still very much not good. This is . Ttpd

Supernatural , Season 7 , Episode 1

Meet The New Boss

Is Cas possessed? I wish he is.

And Sam. Sam is hurt. Because of Cas.What the fuck happened to Cas. He massacred angels. This seems kinda irredeemable.

Baby is totaled again, :(

Is this Cas’s version of a mental breakdown?

Why is Sam suddenly surprisingly okay? This is very suspicious.

hahah Cas in the church was a bit funny okay? I love thay he took down the pastor. Also who is whispering to Cas? The real god?

Sam has PTSD.

“He was young and sexy” - Random lady about the new god.

Cas’s body is giving up on him? He needs a new vessel?

*points at Sam* “You giraffe” - Crowley

Yes, why does Sam keep becoming bigger? I mean taller.

What they want to bind Death? Loony bins? I guess they always do loony shit. Why am I even shocked.

Oh my Cas (haha) wtf?? are the souls trying to escaped form inside Cas. That was some creepy looking shit even for spn.

“Because, we said so and we’re the boss of you. I mean.. respectfully”

“You can’t kill us , Death is our bitch” - Dean

Them being scared of Death like he’s a strict teacher. Death can make an eclipse? Why does he forgive them so often? But if they bind him again , they die. Hm.. He has taken them quite a few times already. He must be fed up.

Aw. It’s like an opposite to that episode in season 6 , where Dean was telling Bobby and Sam that Cas would never do that. And now it’s Sam who keeps saying that the original Cas is in there somewhere.

Aw , Cas tired to make amends. What the fuck? Lucifer. Oh Hallucinations. They give us these damn jump scares evey first episode of a season or what? Didn’t they give us a jump scare of yellow eyes.

Oh waah convincing Sam thay hed still in the cage is damn cool hallucination. It’s basically gaslighting pro max. Love it, Hate it for Sammy.

Are they going to push Cas also into purgatory? Oh I think so, or not, he’s still here? Oh he’s gone , just his body. Oh he’s back. Yay.

Woah woah woah Leviathans. Also whoa Misha is a good actor.

Chapter Two: Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester

Y/n’s POV: 

When I woke up at Bobby’s house the next morning I got up with joy and hope which had not happened in a while. I walk downstairs to Sam saying “Well, then tell me what else it could be.’’ “Look, all I know is I was not groped by an angel.” It’s sad to see him like this. “Dean I was there, Castiel showed us his wings what else could that prove. Why do you think he would lie to us about it?” I said as they look at me.” Maybe he's some kind of demon. Demons lie.” Dean said with annoyance looking back at me. Bobby steps in before we start yelling at each other.  “A demon who's immune to salt rounds and devil's traps... and Ruby's knife? Dean, Lilith is scared of that thing!”.” Don't you think that if angels were real, that some hunter somewhere would have seen one... at some point... ever?”.” Yeah. we just did, Dean.” I scoff a bit telling him.

” I'm trying to come up with a theory here. Okay? Work with me.” Dean said back to us all. “Dean, we have a theory.” “Yeah, one with a little less fairy dust on it, please.” I look at him wanting to shake him.” Okay, look. I'm not saying we know for sure. I'm just saying that I think we –” Sam said trying to help the situation brewing between his two siblings.” Okay, okay. That's the point. We don't know for sure, so I'm not gonna believe that this thing is a freaking Angel of the Lord because it says so.” Why can't Dean just expect that this happened for a good reason?

 “The three of you want to keep arguing religion, or do you want to come take a look at this?” Bobby tells us from his office. We all walk over quicker than usual.” I got stacks of lore -- Biblical, pre-Biblical. Some of it's in damn cuneiform. It all says an angel can snatch a soul from the pit.” Dean does not want to believe at all. “What else?’’. “What else Dean there is now proof from the lore, and you still think it might not be an angel.” I said to him flabbergasted. “Dean there is nothing that I know that could airlift your ass out of the hot box. As far as I can tell, nothing at all.” Bobby tells him.” Dean this is good news” Sam said to him with a smile.

” How?” Dean asks. “Because for once, this isn't just another round of demon crap. I mean, maybe you were saved by one of the good guys, you know?” I answered with glee in my voice. “Okay. Say it's true. Say there are angels. Then what? There's a God?” I hope he is starting to come around because my goodness he is a stubborn man. “At this point, Vegas money's on yeah.” Bobby answered. It seems like Dean still won’t let it go. 

“I don't know, guys.” “Okay, look. I know you're not all choirboy about this stuff, but this is becoming less and less about faith and more and more about proof.” “Proof?’’. “Yes, proof Dean.” I replied. “Proof that there's a God out there that actually gives a crap about me personally? I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it.” “Why not?’’ Sam asked with genuine curiosity.  “Because why me? If there is a God out there, why would he give a crap about me? “Dean says as he starts to spiral a bit.” I mean, I've saved some people, okay? I figured that made up for the stealing and the ditching chicks. But why do I deserve to get saved? I'm just a regular guy.” I think to myself he just does not think himself worthy, but I do.

 “Apparently, you're a regular guy that's important to the man upstairs.” I told him trying to confirm to him that he is here for a reason. “Well, that creeps me out. I mean, I don't like getting singled out at birthday parties, much less by... God.’’ ‘’ Okay, well, too bad, Dean, because I think he wants you to strap on your party hat.’’ Sam told him being right.” “Fine. What do we know about angels?” Dean said, yes finally we don't have to do this stupid dance anymore. Bobby then picks up all the books dropping them like they're hot and said” Start reading.” I immediately pick up a book and start reading if angels are here, I want to know everything about them. Dean looks at the pile and turns to Sam grabbing a book “You're gonna get me some pie.” Of course, man has got to have his pie.

When I am reading Dean comes up asking a question. “Why are you so eager to believe in this stuff Y/n? I mean with the horrible stuff we've been through how do you think there's angels or even a God you never believed before.” I look at him sighing knowing that I would have to tell him sometime. 

“About two months after you died, I was in shambles I was drinking every night practicing fighting with the bag every day I was killing myself in a way. Sam wouldn't answer his phone and the only other person that could help was not doing much better. So, one night drunk I prayed out to something anything that could help and tell me why this had happened again. And I felt this warm presence like it was a hand on my shoulder telling me everything would be alright. I chose to keep on praying and the hand kept on being there for me. So, the reason I want to believe so bad is that in a way it saved me from well me.” 

I finish telling him almost crying. Dean looks at me and hugs me. “Well, whatever it was I'm happy it was here to look after my baby sis when I couldn't” I chuckle at his response. “Thanks, Dean,” I say with a bit of a sniffle and smile.

We just got the news about Olivia and how she was not returning Bobby's calls and start to rush to our cars. When we are coming to the junkyard the Impala comes in with Sam coming back from the food run. Bobby told Sam what was going on “Keep the engine running.” “Why? What's going on?” Sam questions. “I got a friend one state over -- Olivia Lowry. I've been trying to reach her for three days on this angel thing. It's not like her to ignore this many calls.” “Olivia Lowry -- a hunter, right?” Sam confirms back. “Yeah. We're gonna go check on her. You guys follow me.’’ Dean and I get in the Impala and Sam hands the snack bag over to Dean. “Dude?” Dean says with concern. “What?” I ask. Dean answers me with. “He forgot the pie!” 

All of us enter Olivia’s house searching for her. “Olivia?” Bobby said almost yelling while walking in the house. He suddenly runs out I look over to Olivas body which is cracked open like a Thanksgiving turkey. I look around the house to see if there were any clues as to what happened. I see a white line on the ground. “Salt line.” I point out. We look all around the room there is an EMF reader on the floor.” She had her EMF reader out.” 

I tell them while picking it up.” Spirit activity.” Sam confirmed back which is how, I don't know.  “Yeah -- on steroids. I never seen a ghost do this to a person.” Dean tells us while looking around with interest. Bobby comes back into the room holding his phone looking panicky.  “Bobby, you all, right?” I ask him with concern.  

“I called some hunters nearby…”  “Good, we could use some help. “I told him, thinking what was going on? “...except they ain't answering their phones either.” Of course, just our luck I knew we shouldn't have broken all those mirrors during that Bloody Mary case. “Something's up, huh?” Sam said with regard. “You think?’’ Bobby answered with sarcasm him being Bobby and all. He walked out of the house and the three of us share a look of what the in the ever-living hell was going on. 

The boys come out of Jed’s house with disdain and sad looks on their faces. They wanted me to stay out here in case it was the same thing and honestly, I didn't want to see that again.  “Same thing huh” I said to them while looking down They both shake their heads yes.” Better call Bobby then” I said as Dean pulled out his phone, me feeling horrible for him as he just lost so many friends at once. “We're in Jackson. It's not pretty. He looks even worse than Olivia. What about you?” “What the hell is going on here, Bobby? Why did a bunch of ghosts suddenly want to gank off-duty hunters?” “We're on our way.” Dean put his phone back in his pocket. “The rest are the same” Damn we just can't catch a break I think as we drive away.

Dean, Sam, and I stop at a gas station I need to use the bathroom and baby needs fuel. After I am done washing my hands, I feel a chill in the air, and I can see my breath. I look up in the mirror there standing is a ghost not just any ghost it’s Henriksen the person who helped us from before. “Henriksen. Are you -- Did you…’’ I said terrified not because it was a ghost but because he should be at rest. ‘’I am so sorry if we had known that Lilith was coming –.” I said backing up a bit as he got closer. “You wouldn't have left half a dozen innocent people in that police station to die in your place. You guys did this to me. It was your fault. She was after you guys, and I paid the price. You three left us there to die!” 

 He said with anger and grabbed me and threw me around like a rag doll. He then picks me up and throws me against the mirror but this time I notice a small brand on his hand. He throws me against the sink so hard a piece breaks off he picks it up and is about to throw it on my head. That's when my brothers kick in the door Dean shoots at him and Sam comes in to help me up.

Dean is speeding to Bobby’s house while I am trying to keep my head up in case, I had a concussion. “Damn it, Bobby! Pick up!” Dean said with anger and concern while looking at me.  “How you feeling, huh? How many fingers am I holding up?” Dean said while talking to me. “32” I say half joking. 

“Y/n this not the time for jokes’’ “Oh come on it was a little funny.” I said trying to lighten the mood. “I'll be fine guys… Hopefully.’’ They both look at me with are you serious looks. “Henriksen? “Sam said confirming that he really was the ghost. ‘’ Why? What did he want?”.  “Maybe revenge because we got him killed.” I say matter-of-factly. “y/n“ Dean said to me with a sorry look in his eyes. “She’s right Dean we did”. “All right. Stop right there. Whatever the hell is going on, it's happening to us now, okay? I can't get ahold of Bobby, so if you guys are not thinking answers, don't think at all.” Dean said speeding a little more.

The three of us enter Bobby’s house carefully but are ready to shoot anything that comes our way. “Bobby?” I asked out loud with fear and concern. I see the iron fire poker on the ground which is not a good sign. “We will go. You check outside.” Dean said to Sam. Then Dean gestures for him and me to go upstairs. “Bobby?” I opened the door slowly to see no one in there. Dean being Dean said, “Come out, come out, whoever you are.” I then get that same cold feeling that someone was there with us. I turn around to see Meg but not with blond hair but with brown hair no makeup no revealing clothes she had worn. She looks like a typical college girl a girl who looks like I would be friends with. “Dean Winchester. Still so bossy. You don't recognize me?” Meg said to him sounding almost kind. “Meg?” Dean answered back with the same reaction I had with Henriksen.” Hi. It's okay, I'm not a demon.” Meg said as if we were having a normal conversation.

“You're the girl the demon possessed.” I said to her feeling horrible for what had happened.  “Meg Masters. Nice to finally talk to you when I'm not, you know, choking on my own blood. It's okay. Seriously, I'm just a college girl. Sorry -- was. I was walking home one night and got jumped by all this smoke. Next thing you know, I'm a prisoner...  in here. Now, I was awake. I had to watch while she murdered people.” She said to us while pointing to her head and recapping the episode of which when she had no control of her own body. 

“I'm sorry.” Dean said to her being genuine. “Oh, yeah? So sorry you had me thrown off a building?” She said getting angry. “Well, we thought –” Dean said back trying to defend our actions. “No, you didn't think! I kept waiting, praying! I was trapped in there screaming at you! "Just help me, please!" You're supposed to help people, Dean. Why didn't you help me?” She starts to get closer to us. ‘’I'm sorry.” Dean said again trying to make do for what we had done. “Stop saying you're sorry!” Meg said while slapping him to the ground. 

“Dean!” I said trying to get to him. Meg looks at me. 

“And little Y/n Winchester you know I'm not much older than you we could have been friends why couldn't you help me!? I understand why because you can't think for yourself because you know your brothers are the real hunters. You're just the annoying sibling they let tag along.” Meg said as she flung me to the wall and keeps me there with her ghost energy. I try not to cry out being more hurt because of what happened with Henriksen.

 “Don't worry I'll finish you off but first your brother.” Meg said while walking back to Dean with intent. “We didn't know.” Dean said while looking up to her trying again. “No... You just attacked. Did you ever think there was a girl in here? No. You just charged in, slashing and burning. You think you're some kind of hero?” “ No, I don't.” Dean answered back feeling like he had failed again. “You're damn right. Do you have any idea what it's like to be ridden for months by pure evil... while your family has no idea what happened to you?”. “ We did the best we could.” Meg kicked and shoved him again.

“It wasn't just me, Dean. I had a sister. A little sister. She worshipped me. You know how little siblings are, right? How they'll do anything for you. She was never the same after I disappeared. She just... she just got lost. And when my body was lying in the morgue beat-up and broken…” Meg said telling us what happened with her family and Dean knowing exactly how that was.  “Meg” Dean still trying to reason with her spirit.” Do you know what that did to her? She killed herself!  Because of you, Dean! Because all you were thinking about was your family, your revenge, and your demons! 50 words of Latin a little sooner, and I'd still be alive. My baby sister would still be alive. That blood is on your hands, Dean! Now your little sister is going to feel what my sister had to go through before I kill her nice and slow.” Meg said kicking him again. 

I have to get out of this before Meg makes me watch my nightmare come true again. I break thru and aim my gun at the chandelier above where Meg was standing and had kicked Dean over. Dean sees this and distracts Meg by bringing his own gun and aims it at her. “Come on, Dean, did your brain get french-fried in Hell? You can't shoot me with bullets.” Meg said to Dean like he was a four-year-old. ’’I'm not shooting you.” Dean said while nodding at me. I shoot at the chandelier, and it comes down at Meg fast. “Iron.

All of us are now in Bobby’s office trying to recover from the ghost match. “So, they're all people we know?” Sam said, questioning why this was happening. Dean replied with another question. 

 “Not just know. People we couldn't save. Hey, I saw something on Meg. Did she have a tattoo when she was alive?”. “I don't think so.” Sam replied. “It was like a-a mark on her hand -- almost like a brand.” Dean said to us trying to figure out what this was. “ A brand, I saw one on Henriksen too while he was roundhousing me.” I answered while holding my head. “What did it look like?” Bobby asked. 

Sam took out a piece of paper and started to sketch the brand. He holds it up for us to see. “That's it.” I said confirming it. Bobby takes one look “I may have seen this before. We got to move.” Bobby said to us and starts to walk somewhere. “Where?” I question where he brings us down to this room covered in iron and devil's traps. “Bobby, is this…” I said in awe. “Solid iron. Completely coated in salt. 100% ghost-proof.” Bobby said sounding proud. “You built a panic room?” Sam said with a little disbelief at how amazing this man was. “I had a weekend off.” Of course, he would he’s Bobby Singer. “Bobby you're awesome.” I said while looking around the room. 

We are making salt rounds in the ghost room going as fast as we could.” See, this is why I can't get behind God.” Oh lord, here we go again no pun needed. “What are you talking about?” Sam questioned hearing his brother. “If he doesn't exist, fine. Bad crap happens to good people. That's how it is. There's no rhyme or reason -- just random, horrible, evil -- I get it, okay. I can roll with that. But if he is out there, what's wrong with him? Where the hell is he while all these decent people are getting torn to shreds? How does he live with himself? You know, why doesn't he help?” I am just going to keep my opinion to myself, so we don't start a fight again. 

“I ain't touching this one with at 10-foot pole.” Sam responded. Bobby comes back into the room. “Found it. The symbol you saw -- the brand on the ghosts…” Bobby puts down a book. “Mark of the Witness.” Witness? Witness to what?” I question. “The unnatural. None of them died what you'd call ordinary deaths. See, these ghosts -- they were forced to rise. They woke up in agony. They were like rabid dogs. It ain't their fault. Someone rose them... on purpose.” “Who would do that to them they've already suffered enough.” “Whoever it was used a spell so powerful it left a mark, a brand on their souls. Whoever did this had big plans. It's called "the rising of the witnesses." “It figures into an ancient prophecy.” “Wait, wait. What -- what book is that prophecy from?” Dean questioned with concern. “Well, the widely distributed version's just for tourists, you know. But long story short -- Revelations. This is a sign, guys.” “A sign for what? “I ask sacred. Bobby unfortunately answers me “The apocalypse.”

“Apocalypse? The apocalypse, apocalypse? The four horsemen, pestilence, $5-a-gallon-gas apocalypse?” Dean asked just to be sure he heard Bobby right. “That's the one. The rise of the witnesses is a -- a mile marker.” “Okay, so, what do we do now?” I asked getting ready for another match with the all-stars.”Road trip. Grand Canyon, Star Trek Experience. Bunny Ranch.” Dean said being somewhat serious. 

“First things first. How about we survive our friends out there?” Bobby said with sarcasm. “Great. Any ideas aside from staying in this room until Judgment Day?” “It's a spell to send the witnesses back to rest. Should work.” “Great what do we need.” I said trying to get this thing over with. “If I translate it correctly. I think I got everything we need here at the house.” Bobby answered me. “Any chance you got everything we need here in this room?” Dean asked with hope. “So, you thought our luck was gonna start now all of a sudden? Spell's got to be cast over an open fire.” Bobby answered I Had no idea we even had luck.

 “The fireplace in the library.” I said realizing we would have to leave the safe room. “Bingo.”  “That's just not as appealing as a, uh, ghost-proof panic room, you know?” Dean said and I agree with him. “well if we die I'll still annoy you in the afterlife about that.” I said trying to be funny they all look like they want to shoot me. “Cover each other. And aim careful. Don't run out of ammo until I'm done, or they'll shred you. Ready?” Bobby said preparing us “Got it so we run out were dead perfect” I said under my breath as we leave the room.

The four of us head upstairs and we see a man sitting there oh no. “Hey, Dean. You remember me?” Said Ronald who died just because he knew us. “Ronald, huh? With the laser eyes? I wish I could say it's good to see you.” Dean said trying to joke with the man that got killed because of us I pull him to me.” Uh Dean not the time use your “charm’’ “. “I am dead because of you. You were supposed to help me!” Ronald said getting up as if he was going to attack. Bobby shoots him. “If you're gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk.’’ 

We all run into the living room to start the ritual. “Upstairs, linen closet -- red hex box. It'll be heavy.” Bobby said to Sam pointing him upstairs as I was making a salt line. Two ghost girls show up. "Bobby.” They said as I shoot them away.” What is this the shining!?”. “Kitchen. Cutlery drawer. It's got a false bottom. Hemlock, opium, wormwood.” Bobby commands Dean. We both look at Bobby “Opium?”. I stay in the line to protect Bobby as he was drawing the chalk.  “Bobby. You walked right by us while that monster ate us all up. You could have saved us.” The girls said as they keep on repeating. I shoot them again. “Yeah yeah, can't you just keep to your movie.’’ 

The boys come rushing in with the rest of the ingredients. Ronald appears again.” Ronald. Hey, come on, man. I thought we were pals.” “That's when I was breathing. Now I'm gonna eat you alive.” “Well...come on, I'm not a cheeseburger.” Dean said as he cocked the gun, but Ronald disappeared again. Bobby is starting the spell and reciting Latin the windows open, and the salt line gets blown away. They keep on showing up Bobby keeps ongoing. Henkrison shows up I hit him with an iron rod. Meg shows up and pushes me against the wall with the desk.

“Y/n! “The boys shout. “Cover Bobby!’’ I shout back as I try to push the desk off. Bobby tosses the stuff in a bowl.” Dean! Fireplace” Bobby shouts throwing him the bowl. He throws it in and all the ghosts disappear. I am suddenly able to move the desk like nothing. We go to help Bobby up. “Bobby you good?’’ He shakes his head yes. “Okay great we didn't die who wants to celebrate with a beer or maybe a whole case.” I said they all laugh at me yes and finally got them.

My brothers and I decided to sleep in the same room in case any more ghosts showed up. Then I felt that warm presence again I look up from where I was sleeping and see Castiel standing in the kitchen looking like he needs to say something. I get up and walk over. “Great job on the witnesses.” He said while not really looking at me. “You knew.” I questioned. “I was, uh, made aware.” He said a little awkwardly. 

“Well I think we could have used your help I almost got turned into a ghosts board game. Why didn't you help?” I asked.” We had some other issues that had to be taken care of.” “Oh” I said a little sad by his answer. “There are bigger things coming’’. “what things?” I asked with concern.  “The rising of the witnesses is one of the 66 seals.” “I'm guessing those are nothing fun like I want them to be.” “ Those seals are being broken by Lilith.” 

“That makes sense she rose them as monster victims so they would come right for us. “Mm-hmm. And not just here. 20 other hunters are dead.’’ Castiel said looking around. “Wow, she really is a bitch” “Why break the seal anyway, just to toy with us?” “You think of the seals as locks on a door.” “The last one opens and then what?” “Lucifer walks free.” My eyes kind of widen at that. “That's why you guys are here, to stop Lucifer.” He nods his head. “Wow that's a lot”. “Look I appreciate you telling me, but why are you telling me and not Dean?” I asked what I had been wondering. “I already talked to him about these things. I also know that you hit your head and I wanted to make sure you were okay.” He said which kind of surprised me. “Um well, nothing a little rubbing dirt on it won't fix.” He looked at me with confusion.” I don't understand how rubbing dirt on your head would heal it” “No Cas it's just an expression.” I said laughing.  “Cas?” he questioned.

“Yeah, well if you're going be around for a while it's easier than saying Castiel all the time” “Yes well, I better take my leave.” He's about to take off but I stop him to ask him something I needed to know. “Wait Cas. “Yes Y/n.” When I prayed for the first time, I felt this presence that would feel like it would put their hand on my shoulder and would be there every time, was that you?” I asked him hoping he would say yes. “yes, that was me.” I want to cry.” Thank you”. “You do not have to thank me I was just doing my duties as an angel.” “It might have been a regular job for you but for me, you were one of the only things that were there for me when I needed someone so thank you.” He looks at me with those kind blue eyes. “you're welcome, Y/n, goodnight’’ He flies off. “Good night, Cas.”

I woke up the next morning feeling like I had just talked to a friend for the first time in a long time. “You all, right? What's wrong, Dean?” Sam asked Dean and I look at him, “So... You guys got no problem believing in... God and Angels?” After the conversion I had last night, there was no doubt now. “No, not really.” Sam answers. "So, I guess that means that you guys believe in the Devil.” Dean asked with a little bit of fear. “Why are you asking us all this?” Sam questions and leaves me to wonder what Cas and Dean had talked about.

That's it hope you enjoyed, and also the next chapter is the time travel episode were Dean meets his parent's y/n will be there too so excited!

People were shipping Crowley and Aziraphale way back then even before the TV series aired on Amazon. And that’s back in the 90s, and they were clearly written as a love story. So props to Neil and Terry for that.

I’m glad the love story was made more blatant in the show though, without taking away from the book’s story and humor and nicely added to the Ineffable Husbands without being forced.

I truly don’t understand why there is even a debate on “which is better”. Destiel would simply cease to exist if Good Omens had never been published. It was thee book Eric Kripke read over the ‘07 Strike that inspired him to bring Angels into SPN.

I may have started shipping Destiel upon my first watch of SPN on Netflix (based off my own interpretation) cuz I came to Tumblr during 2020. I was CONVINCED they were written as a love story and gave up after season 11, cuz it just didn’t seem to be happening.

I still love Destiel, but its “canonization” is BARELY there. If you queerbait an entire fanbase for twelve years, give them what they want in its last fucking season by having one half of the ship say The Words and promptly drag him to Super Hell and on top of All That, erase his entire existence from the narrative, I’m sorry, that’s just shitty. Fuck you, CW.

Good Omens is a Godsend (heh heh) cuz not only is the writer not homophobic, but the ACTORS are 150% on board. It’s god damn refreshing to have MICHAEL SHEEN and DAVID TENNANT just go with it, that their characters have been married for 6000 years and not be obviously told to shut up by the network like I know CW definitely did with Jensen and Misha.

Anyhoo, this turned into a bit of a rant. Just lettin off some steam. Not here to attack anyone or squash anyone’s ideals.

If you’re happy with how Dean and Cas were canonized, I’m happy for you. Write your fics, draw your art, express yourselves.

I’m just shouting into the void cuz the alternative would be screaming on a street corner.

TL:DR Destiel and Ineffable are both great and don’t pit them against each other.

86 Thoughts while watching The OC season one episode 4: The Debut

1. I love that these early episodes really focused on the Cohens+1 as a family, and established these really deep dynamics.

2. Seth is such a shitty kid and it’s so funny in these early eps. It feels more endearing than like...shitty in later episodes.

3. Ryan getting adoptedddddddddd what a good lil math nerd.

4. Anyone who thinks Ryan is a bad boy I feel like you miss the point of the character. He has terrible luck, and a bad temper, but also, he is a MATH NERD who says whole sentences with his eyes.

5. “You steal a car? You burn down a house? You beat up the captain of the water polo team?” Let’s be real, Luke won that fight. Ryan isn’t a good fighter lol.

6. Kirsten is not a hugger.

7. Brody’s little groove walk is fun.

8. Califoniaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa here we cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme

9. underpants!

10. Seth rolling around on Ryan’s bed like a puppy. Sir what.

11. He doesn’t have any things.

12. Poor Ryan, he does not know how to deal with this debutante thing.

13. Peggy deserved more than two episodes, she’s so salty and I love her. Where did she go???

14. Jimmy and Sandy are such strange frenemies. Like Jimmy so clearly still has a thing for Kirsten and Sandy knows. He knows, and he knows they have to play nice (for now), but he is not thrilled. He’s a friendly dude mostly, so he’s not gonna start shit just because, but like. He knows it’s bad.

15. My big quibble with this episode is that the girls’ dresses look incredibly cheap. At least for the main three girls they could have gone higher end. Or maybe it’s just that 2003 style.

16. I know Luke is like “bleh Ryan” but I can’t help thinking of it as a lil bi panic.

17. Summer trying to bang Ryan. Ryan like “I mean she’s hot but...but...but...”

18. Ryan and Summer should have banged.

19. Like not a relationship. But just. Boning.

20. I’ve warmed up to Marissa as I’ve gotten older. She’s very sweet in these early episodes.

21. That is so much wine Sandy just poured Kirsten. SO MUCH. BRUH YOUR WIFE HAS A DRINKING PROB- we’ll talk about next season.

22. I love all the comic books just lying around as set dressing.

23. Ryan’s favorite comic is Justice Society of America, and I love that for him. It’s very classic superhero, but it’s not one of the BIG ONES.

24. Poor Kirsten, finding out about Jimmy’s dumb shit.

25. Sandy is in full lawyer mode. “We have to tell everybody this dude stole from them.”

26. I wish I liked these dresses more.

27. But god the music cues are so on point. The soundtrack for the OC is just top notch, all thees years later.

28. And ask the world to stay away please....

29. Ryan is so sweet. He just can’t say no.

30. Fucking Jimmy.

31. God damn, Julie just spending every last cent. She doesn’t ask ever about their finances. She just assumes. But Jimmy let her believe they were more than fine.

32. Jimmy is such an idiot. I wish I liked him more. He’s supposed to be charming. I love Tate Donovan. But god. That character.

33. Try to enjoy this, please! I love Peggy. Justice for Peggy.

34. The dancing. Poor Ryan.

35. Who let Adam Brody out of his feral nerd cage? Whoever it was, I’m grateful.

36. Summer is such a douche in these early episodes. Her character arc is amazing through the series. Truly. one of my favorites in TV history.

37. i still don’t quite buy Ryan and Marissa’s chemistry. Part of it is that Misha Barton is so young, and she hasn’t had time to develop as an actress. I feel like if she’d been like two years older when she played Marissa it’d hit harder.

38. Annaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. God I love Anna. Again. She has such good chemistry with Seth and Ryan. Again. Ryan should have been allowed to date Anna.  The two with the most common sense in the whole bunch together? Power couple.

39. Kirsten, stop trying to save Jimmy he doesn’t deserve it.

40. Oh Holly. I would have loved for her to get a redemption arc. Like still kind of brainless, but more mature. Less shitty. She comes back in s4 and has learned nothing.

41. Ben McKenzie eye acting choices.

42. Jimmmyyyyyyyyyyyy karma said “hey hi how ya doin”

43. Barbecutionist.

44. Marissa watching Luke’s friends and feeling just so done. Girl I get it.

45. Poor Ryan. He just wants to go home and hide in his pool house and read comic books and not deal with this dumb crap.

46. Luke’s weird toxic masculinity is pretty rough. He gets a nice redemption arc later where he just turns into a golden retriever. I love that for him.

47. Yep. There’s the JSA issue.

48. Julie really wants to be a good mother, but she puts so much importance on appearance and image and perception. And dumping all of that on her very sensitive daughter is cruel.

49. I love Julie’s eye makeup.

50. Melinda Clarke is such a heavy hitter in this series. Julie Cooper, Urban Cougar was such a thing.

51. Sandy not going either. Sandy said fuck that.

52. Again, these dresses...they’re just not...great.

53. lol Sandy and Ryan just....”Nah.” “Yeah, me neither.”

54. THE BONDING. THE VIDEO GAMES. I love this dynamic so much.

55. Sandy serving truth. “They’ve all got secrets and they’re all terrified that the guy nextdoor is gonna find them out.”

56. It’s such a sweet moment, and then “You just stabbed me again.”

57. Summerrrrrrrrrrrrr.

58. lol Anna and Seth spewing comic book stuff.

59. YOU’RE A GIRL. Bitch I have been reading comic books since 1991.

60. The birth of the Summer/Seth/Anna triangle/almost thruple.

61. I just tried to liken them to Roy/Keeley/Jamie but there is no grumpy asshole.

62. But if it were Summer/Ryan/Anna, we would have a Lasso Thruple sitch.

63. But not really.

64. Sandy is the best. I swear.

65. Jimmy and karma doin that dance.

66. Luke is, in fact, an idiot.

67. “Stop hitting a dude who didn’t actually do anything to you.” “I AM LEAVING BECAUSE YOU MAKE SENSE!” Oy.

68. Anna is so charming. I love her.

69. Julie just dislikes Ryan so damn much. Christ.

70. “Confidence, Cohen!” Ugh. So cute.

71. I love Seth/Summer but Anna/Seth was also so so fun.

72. “We’re gonna go this way.” lol

73. We don’t see Summer walk by herself. I think that was a missed opportunity.

74. Peggyyyyyyyyyy! My beloved!

75. The sweetness of this scene lasts all of three seconds before Jimmy gets slugged in his face.

76. I love that they were never afraid of the fact that Marissa was just a lil taller than Ryan. the visual works so well for the show.

77. Here we go.

78.”Bad accounting.”

79. hot damn y’all this old man fight lol.

80. Julie’s shaking fingers is such a nice touch in this moment.

81. I guess Sandy figures karma has done its job on Jimmy and now he can be supportive. lol.

82. Seth and Annaaaaaaa. Jesus so cute. Even though they’re kind of the same person lol.

83. Another great music cue. To Sheila, by the Smashing Pumpkins.

84. I just. I want to like Marissa more. I’m still not sure why I can’t get there all these years later.

85. LOL Luke. With the weird sneak attack.

86. And that’s it. A last shot of Ryan alone, who should be heading home to avoid the police.

[dothwrites]

'our father who aren't in heaven' is sure a buckleming episode! fifty thousand characters, at least ten subplots, and somehow, entertaining in spite of it.

i AM furious at dean "not knowing" the achilles heel reference. this is a man who canonically reads homer and who is interested in movies like clash of titans. this is a cheap "hurr hurr dean is stupid" joke made at his expense and i will NOT stand for this 'dean is stupid' slander

the scene where everyone is watching donnatello translate the tablet is so ridiculous that it is entertaining. (additionally how much is on that demon tablet? there's been about twenty different pieces of information on that tablet. how did they find room for it?)

"if you want to stay here then stay here" said to cas when cas' love language is the phrase "i could go with you". dean is still so BRUTAL here and it's still so painful.

at least in the fight with charlie's demonic angels, EVERYONE is getting their ass kicked. "are any of us winning" is a line that has no business being as funny as it is

ROWENA! MY LOVE! MY GREATEST LOVE! queen of hell is actually the perfect character arc for her. it is so fitting. we also love rowena as a relationship counselor. dean and cas both say "it's fine" like "i love him; talk to HIM". and rowena says "fix it" like it's the easiest thing in the world (and you know what? it could be!). it just kills me HOW MUCH attention was given in the divorce arc to dean and cas' relationship and how integral to the show it was. and then in the last bit of the show it is DROPPED! like a hot potato!

jake abel looked at misha and jensen and said "i do not NEED a coworker; i will have extraordinary chemistry with MYSELF" and then proceeded to do exactly that. but seeing jake abel on my spn screen again after ten years was DELIGHTFUL.

this conversation between dean and sam is why i do not UNDERSTAND this idea that "dean wouldn't want sam to be with someone who was in the life". dean is so openly supportive of sam's relationship with eileen, and he GENUINELY enjoys her company. why is there the idea that dean doesn't support their relationship????

castiel's eyes should ALWAYS flash blue! i also enjoyed the idea of cas being the one to pray to michael for a meeting. and then "i didn't come to beg" like! what a fucking POWER MOVE. my GOD! cas and michael share a lot of good moments in this episode, and it's fun to think about cas, who is this insignificant seraph, finally catching michael's attention.

cas baiting michael into snapping... the BALLS on this angel are unbelievable. but he knows it's the only way he's going to get close enough to michael to make him see the truth! he's so smart! "we didn't bond" whoever told cas that he wasn't funny is a DAMN LIAR. and dean is STILL second-guessing cas! he's still criticizing cas' choices and how he chooses to go about things. annoying!

love how things like getting in and out of purgatory become so ridiculously simple in the later seasons. cas and crowley spend an entire season trying to find purgatory and in s15, michael snaps his fingers and BAM! there it is.

"since when do we get what we deserve" i am WEAK. i know that rich said that the glance to cas wasn't necessarily intentional but it still FEELS intentional.

[sio-lokistiel]

Hi!! So I'm a fairly strong chuck won believer (i have been given some Extremely convincing evidence and I think its interesting to think about so) but I saw a post you made about how that theory disregards cas and jacks arcs and I was just wondering if you could expand on that? I'm super open to interpretations lol and I'm really curious to hear the other side (i haven't seen too much anti chuck won stuff so I dont know the arguments)

Okay, oh boy. I guess part of it is what exactly you mean by “Chuck Won” because I understand it on a censorship level. Yes, Chuck was representing the network. Yes, the network meddled and cut Dean’s reciprocation and we ended up with that garbage finale with pages of [OMITTED] in the script. So, if that’s all you mean by “Chuck Won” then yeah, whatever I guess.

Idk, some people probably feel it’s a legitimate theory simply because Dean died. It seems a lot of the fandom thinks death = bad…and that’s just not the case now that Jack freed the souls. I mean, I can throw quotes from The Mummy and Lord of the Rings at you about how death is the next step in journey. So while I’m no longer upset about Dean dying in general, especially because it was foreshadowed, the way he died was so fucking dumb. That doesn’t mean I think it has anything to do with Chuck.

Cas’ arc was all about self-actualization. His speech in Gimme Shelter explains a good part of it with how he found purpose having a family and becoming a dad, BUT him also realizing that having himself is important, too. Then, oh goodness, we reach the culmination in Despair (The Truth) when he realizes happiness is in the saying, in accepting your truth, both the good and bad bits of yourself. The Empty comes and he reintegrates with his Shadow to become whole and saves Dean, the world, and himself in the process. Yes, that’s a whole bunch of Jungian psychology stuff and it’s a lot to process and I’m probably not doing the best job of explaining it. Most of the Chuck Won theory stuff I’ve seen ignores all that and seems to ignore the canon that Cas IS in heaven. I understand the disappointment of Cas and Dean not reuniting, YET. Corporate fuckery (and Covid) kept it from happening in the finale with the original Roadhouse ending that was planned and then scheduling conflicts and Jensen and Misha agreeing Cas needed more than a cameo kept him from being in The Winchesters.

And Jack. Jack was literally the whole goddamn point. The two big things are he’s possessed and sometimes dead because of this, or he is corrupted somehow. I have never seen a convincing damn argument for either of these things. There’s one post that tries to compare some his mannerisms to Chuck, but is filled with so much straw grasping and reaching I’m surprised the author didn’t need a doctor afterward. Another is that some people project on the poor boy so much and just they don’t like his arc, they want to think something is wrong. There is a lot more Pagan stuff about Jack and the number of mythologies where some god is brought down by being a power hungry dickhead and that comes back to bite them in the ass as a grandchild in Jack’s case removes them from power. There are better people to explain all the Pagan imagery surrounding Jack; my tag #jack is the orphic egg should get you to some really good stuff. I’m also not down to argue about how the last 3-5 seasons are meant to read with a Pagan lens. There was one group who predicted the end of the mothership months in advance and then all of The Winchesters and it wasn’t the people clinging to some white Christian reading.

Last thing, I just personally find the theory really lazy as well. I would legitimately be so disappointed in Jensen and whoever ends up writing the next chapter whether that’s Robbie or someone else if they went that route. Luckily, they are all smarter than that and I can see them seeming to lean into it, but then having the most fabulous rug pull! This is very long, oops.

[blurrymango]

I looked it up. Lucifer dies episode 23. Apparently.

So.

They get rid of Crowley in season twelve even though he was the best damn character.

Kevin gets two deaths, thanks to apocalypse world. And doesn't come back from. Either of them.

Gabriel gets two deaths, the second death being permanent.

And Lucifer dies in the episode I'm currently watching.

They got rid of Crowley because they didn't know what else to do with him after that point which. Ok fair. Still had such a lackluster death.

Gabriel also dies a lackluster death. Lucifer just. Well Lucifer ffucking dies.

And yet.

And yet.

Castiel dies six times. And each time he comes back he's more useless and the acting is worse than before.

You kill the objective best character in the show. You kill Kevin. You kill the BEST FFUCKING ANGEL CHARACTERS IN THE ENTIRE SHOW.

Who do you keep though? Castiel????? You keep the worst character. The one who has honestly done only one worthwhile thing of getting Dean out of hell.

What. What the hell. Who decided to let Cas keep existing as a character for what.

9 seasons.

The literally least interesting and most boring character in the entire show is kept for. 9 seasons. And there was every opportunity to make his death permanent each time.

He was actually pretty damn interesting at first. Emotionless worker bee type angel learning to go against his creator? Hell yeah honestly.

But as it goes on he just gets less and less. Oh I don't know. Likeable. Cool? Good as a character.

Misha's acting. Even. Just goes down the ffucking drain. Like he stops trying.

But every other actor is trying their best and it's great! It's ffucking good.

Maybe it's just a product of the show going on for far too long but. IDK.

At least Sam and Dean, the main characters, are still extremely damn good.

I. Am missing what's going on because I am so damn angry about Castiel, a once great character, being reduced to a useless ffucking parasite.

God ffucking damnit.

[storm-and-starlight]

well. okay. I went and did it. I watched Supernatural season 15 episode 18: Despair.

I now present my thoughts as I had them during the episode, only mildly edited:

Apparently Chuck is already dead?

Also WOW the dialogue is fucking terrible

Okay so Billie betrayed them and I very much dislike that take on her

Also they decided to do on-screen teleportation after FIFTEEN YEARS of keeping it off screen and just like. Wow that's bad

like the off-screen teleporting just added Something to the show that worked really well? and removing it removes one more cool little aesthetic choice and makes everything fall just so much flatter

Okay so Chuck isn't dead he's just disappeared after the winchesters failed to kill him

Charlie! I didn't know she was in this episode

Well, apocalypse!Charlie, but still

I'm not so sure I like the direction they took cas in this season, like he's very very humanized and very casual and while it does make sense for his character I'm still not that much of a fan

Awww Eileen died

Awww brother hug

Heyyyyy, Donna!

Oh please tell me Donna survives.

Once again the dialogue is just really really bad

Wow Bobby looks young

Also he's just not acting like Bobby whatsoever

was Jim Beaver even in this episode?

Okay yeah this is just a bad fuckin episode

All the people from other worlds just got poofed out of existence and it was INCREDIBLY badly written and directed and acted

It's all stuff that's supposed to be "cool" and dramatic and intense but none of it is actually landing

Oh oop I think I'm at The Scene

Nope wait nvm it's Billie trying to kill Dean for coming back from the dead and being a rule breaker and like. Wow everyone really has forgotten that Sam was the original protagonist, huh

Good God the dialogue is HORRIBLE

"don't you think it's finally time for the sweet release" pause "of death?"

like kudos to Billie's actress for at least trying to make that one sound natural but like. damn.

Not sure whether or not the glowy wards thing is new but I'm not hugely a fan, and there's a LOT of it this episode in response to a lot of things and hrmmmmmmmmmm no not liking it

Oh oh here we gooooooo

I did not know Dean had a breakdown beforehand

Oh my god Cas gets himself schlorped deliberately to save dean's life by summoning the empty to get rid of death?

Also wow THAT'S a fucking sentence

Oh my god?

Okay Cas is actually crying wow

This is a really long love confession when Death is actively trying to break down the door to the room they're hiding from her in because she wants to kill Deean

Cas: Extremely long heartfelt speech about how wonderful Dean is Dean: why does this sound like a goodbye? Cas: Because it is. I love you. Dean: don't do this, Cas

OH MY GOD HE REALLY DOES HAVE NO EMOTION ON HIS FACE AT ALL

NONE

NADA

ZILCH

ngl I laughed my fucking head off when Dean gave the line because THE MEMES WERE NOT WRONG THAT MAN DOES NOT GIVE A SINGLE FLYING FUCK ABOUT CAS DUMPING HIS HEART ON THE FLOOR HERE

Also wow that's a hell of a closeup on Misha Collins there

They had the FUCKING NERVE to play Dean's Family Devotion Theme after he watches Cas confess his love to him with a BLANK FUCKING FACE oh my god

And now we get Dean having a surprisingly sedate breakdown

And we don't even get the quiet credits we get the rock credits

Goddamn. Okay. That was awful.

IN CONCLUSION: the... everything ... surrounding the Destiel confession scene aside, this is remarkably bad. The dialogue is terrible, the directing is terrible, the acting is sub-par even from people who are usually pretty damn good (Felicia Day as Charlie very very much feels like she's phoning it in), did I mention the dialogue is terrible? Because it's so bad, and the actual love confession... well, it certainly lives up to everything I've heard about it (and no, I didn't actually see it when I came out because I wasn't interested in this level of psychic damage then). Anyways. Yeah. Bad.

[sarah-dipitous]

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 99

The Song Remains the Same

“The Song Remains the Same”

Plot Description: The angels travel back in time to kill John and Mary Winchester before they can conceive Sam

Man…where's that "myth of consensual sex" meme when you need it?

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: No one died.

Ok but if Cas is the one who originally said that the past can't be changed, all roads will lead to the same place every time, why ARE the angels trying to change it now?

Damn. I get where Anna's coming from but there is something TERRIFYING (not NOT in a hot way) of saying you're basically going to scatter every atom of someone's being across the universe.

I FUCKING LOVE WHEN CAS'S DEVOTION TO HIS CAUSES GETS TESTED, GETS TAUNTED, WHEN IT GETS THROWN IN HIS FACE HOW MUCH HE IS FAILING. and then i want to wrap him in a blanket and give him hot chocolate

Cas, baby, you didn't even know who Glen Close was ten seconds ago...

Oh, baby. One, good on you sticking up for yourself "I do not understand that reference," but two...you are not fine. You are not doing better than expected. You are coughing up blood and passing out. That's not okay

"You look a little spooked." Yeah, it's, uh, it's Sam's first time meeting his in-their-20s-parents. OMG. At this point in time, they are the Barbie meme "This Barbie is a hunter who made a deal with one of hell's most powerful demons." "He's just John."

WHY IS THIS FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN MARY AND ANNA SO SLOW???

I'm still curious about whether the angel banishing sigil NEEDS TO BE DRAWN IN BLOOD OR NAH

Oh god, John. I can't blame you for anything yet. You just found out mosters are real, your wife hunts them and has been hunting them her whole life. Chuck help you if you find out her "cousins" in the back seat of the impala are actually your sons.

Oh, so apparently it does need to be drawn in human blood. Nice of them to tell us NOW. I've only been wondering it since Cas broke Dean out of Zachariah's penthouse prison

Hey so yeah, this...um...this episode is hitting a little to close to home in mid April...

Ooooo Uriel's new vessel...wait...do...this isn't Uriel's new vessel. This is his old vessel but 30 years prior to the events of the show. I think I've just seen demons hop from vessel to vessel and Misha not age too much in the like four or so seasons I've seen him in to consider that the vessels will still age.

I can't imagine from either side what it would be like to be a party in a conversation where a child is telling their parent that the have to leave their other parent so that they're never born. Also to be in a situation where your mom tells you she can't leave your dad, not just because she loves him, but because she's pregnant with YOU?

Yo. RIP Anna. Michael's here? THE Michael? And using John as a vessel?

Dean, "Six Degrees of Heaven Bacon" is probably your best pun yet and I'm so sorry only Michael heard it.

AMAZING that Dean's telling Michael to get therapy for his beef with Lucifer. Bestie, do you hear yourself?

“Been On My Mind…”: Nope. Is it 8 now?

[confusedkittensposts]

7x23 Survival of the Fittest

I love Crowley. Like I think I would prefer Crowley centric show to a Cas centric show.

DEAN: We can't leave it. You let these friggin' things in. So you don't get to make a sandwich. You don't get a damned cat. Nobody cares that you're broken, Cas. Clean up your mess!

I will make him a chew toy for Juliet, I promise

Some will have to give me a run down of what went happened in season 7 except for dick jokes

Do people really not see abusive aspects of Dean and Castiel's relationship? Cause they seem bold and underlined to me.

Awww, Dean let Meg drive his Car. I will have to keep that mind

Love that Crowley had the last word, and Meg and Kevin

Oh my God, I can't stop laughing at Cas' just baling on Dean in purgatory.

It's 6 in the morning and I don't want to write a thesis of honey Cas but it's just so so good. The Misha can physically make his presence smaller, like in this season, or bigger, like in last season is just amazing And the fact that Cas hasn't actually lost his marbles, they are all there but they are cracked and even broken and he isn't insane as much as he is terrified. They could have done so much with it instead they washed their hands off the whole thing and gave him a lobotomy

7x17 The Born Again Identity

If there is anyone in the Supernatural universe who deserves to kill Dean Winchester it's Daphne Allen

I don't like the way Meg is behaving AT ALL

Destiel shippers should be ashamed, the memories we see playing are actually the most practical ones of you ask me

"If you remember, then you know you did the best you could at the time."

What happened to that last season, huh??

If you ask me the way they fixed Sam is literally stupid, and like it's almost impressive

They got rid of him, and were forced to bring bring him back, and did him dirtier. Castiel is used as a plot device to get the main character back in the game. It's shitty and it's unfair to Cas and it's horrible writing

To summarise, Dean emotionally manipulated Cas, deliberately kept his identity from him because he believed Cas could help Sam, and then when Cas did save Sam, Dean left Cas with a demon who has history of, in not so nice words, ra*e and wanted to use him as a weapon

[saltnhalo]

if they don’t do the show justice in the last season, I am flying to the US to throw down with all of the CW. give our boys—all fucking three of them—the ending they deserve.

[charcubed]

the Supernatural writers are doing the damn thing

What the Supernatural writers have done / are doing with Destiel... My brain can’t process how HUGE this is. Full discloser I don’t even go here but I’m losing my mind over what’s happening.

This is one of the single greatest examples of a story growing beyond the writers’ plans, and them leaning into that, and then REFERENCING THAT METATEXTUALLY IN THE SHOW.

LISTEN...

Castiel wasn’t even supposed to be an ongoing regular, let alone intrinsic to the show for a decade and then a queer romantic lead! But the character evolved beyond what the writers expected, especially because of fandom response, and they kept him. 

Cas (and via him, the fandom) changed the show.

And in the current plot of the show itself, Cas went “off script.” God–who’s the current villain–is the author of everything, and Cas didn’t do as God intended.  Cas’ love for Dean broke the mold. The author can’t control him—which is a reflection of what happened to the show’s writers. 

The writers had a plan; Cas broke it.

And by positioning the “author” in the show’s story as a villain who MUST be defeated... which is a clear meta stand-in for the writers’ room of Supernatural itself... the show’s writers are saying, “We also must lose to Cas, and you.” 

They concede to what’s best for the character.

It’s a “war” they must lose. Authors doesn’t always know best. Characters take on a life of their own. Not every writer can see that—which is why many shows end badly and ships (especially queer ones) don’t become canon. But they “gave in”—and likely fought behind the scenes for it. 

(And Misha was very likely the catalyst who pushed them towards it and fought for it too.)

Then, the writers went a step further and baked this concept into the bones of the show’s plot—for seasons 14 and 15 at minimum, as I understand it. They wrote themselves into the narrative as villains so they can be “defeated” by Cas and Dean’s off-script love story. 

I feel like that’s unheard of???? I’m not saying Supernatural is a perfect show and I don’t think hardcore fans would say it is either. I’m not saying the years of “queerbait” (which may have been that originally; who knows if we’ll find out the whole truth) didn’t cause hurt. 

But they’ve reached INTO THE STORY to validate all those past questionably “queerbait” moments, as best as they can, so people can go back and watch and know the subtext there was leading to something. They wrote themselves in as villain (God) who tried to control Cas and failed... so for it to be a good story, the villain (the author who had a plan) will HAVE to be defeated, and love will prevail. Otherwise, there’s no happy ending.

And so: canon Destiel.

Like I said, I do not even go here, so maybe I’m wildIy off base! But right now this is my understanding of things, and IF I’ve got it right, this is just. So huge. I can’t stop thinking about it.

TL;DR: the Supernatural writers are literally validating and bowing to a decade’s worth of queer subtext and the fans who noticed it, and they wrote that concept into the plot. It is at the core of the show now to wrap up the story.

And that is bonkers. Literally historic.

I wanted to believe

I need to write this because if I don’t, I’ll go insane.

For the last 8 years of my life, Supernatural, Destiel, and this fandom have been an important part of my life. There were dark moments when I was drowning and all I kept thinking was: “I need to be alive until I know how Supernatural ends”.

I wanted to believe.

I wanted to believe TPTB actually respected us.

I wanted to believe they respected at least their characters, their story, their legacy.

I was wrong. So many of us were. And I’m truly sorry for that.

I’m more than sorry, though. I’M DEVASTATED! You see? I’m not even angry. I loved this show so much that I can’t be angry. This show gave me so much happiness for many years; it gave me Dean Winchester (the character I could relate to the most, like ever). It gave me Cas (my beloved angel capable of unconditional love). It gave me friends that I treasure and that I’m incredibly grateful for. BUT DAMN! I’M JUST SO DISSAPOINTED.

Everything was fine until the very last minutes of 15x19 when Jack became the new God and Dean didn’t bother to ask him to bring Cas back. Yet, I wanted to believe. We still had one more episode to go and no myth arc left to solve, so all logic said the story made NO SENSE without Cas because we still had the character arcs unsolved.

And then we get whatever the fuck 15x20 was supposed to be.

They flushed down the toilet Dean’s character arc. He never got to live, he never got to enjoy the free will he fought so much for. Even Chuck most likely outlived him. What the actual fuck?

We got a romanticized and uncomfortable brothers scene that I’m sure w*ncest shippers loved. We got a ridiculous wig-wearing Sam Winchester who looked miserable without his brother (for fuck’s sake!! The codependency was strong in this one!). And Dean died in the most meaningless and ridiculous way possible, when he was the character that most deserved to live.

“Good things do happen”, Castiel told Dean many years ago.

“Not in my experience”, Dean said.

So, are you telling me that Dean was right? That good things don’t happen? That to get good things all you need to do is DIE? Geez! Thank you for that, you sons of bitches! FUCK YOU.

“What’s the matter? You don’t think you deserve to be saved?”

Well, apparently the writers themselves didn’t think Dean deserved to be saved in the end. He died young, he never had the chance to live. He got a miserable ending, and for that we have real life, thank you very much.

Dean was the hero. HE DESERVED BETTER. WE DESERVED BETTER. Because sometimes we need to be reminded that after all the pain, the abuse, the suffering, everything will be alright. That you can still recover from all the trauma you’ve experienced and live a full life. That YES, you can find peace in death, but AFTER you get some sort of contentment IN LIFE. Neither Dean nor even Sam got that. For a show that’s supposedly aware of how many people in this fandom deal with depression, this ending is a slap in the face. And I can’t believe I hoped for something better when I know that…

GOOD THINGS DON’T HAPPEN. NOT IN MY EXPERIENCE.

I defended this show when they killed Charlie off in season 10. I almost quit that time. I defended this show every time they screwed up because I believed. As long as there were episodes left, there was still hope, but I was let down.

I defended this show after 15x18 when so many people shouted “bury your gays”. I defended this show after 15x19 and Jack simply said ‘bye bitches’. Now after being spat in the face, there’s no way I can defend this show, no matter the crumbs they spread for us to pick up with great effort.

This used to be a Supernatural blog. From now on, it will be a multifandom blog, and I will post everything and anything that makes me happy. Dean Winchester still makes me happy (mostly if I choose to ignore the last two episodes). Castiel still makes me happy (same applies to him). Destiel fanvids and fanfiction still make me happy. But I will NOT defend this show ever again because they disrespected us; they disrespected Misha, they disrespected Jensen, and they even disrespected Jared with a finale that showed a complete lack of effort and commitment. I’m sorry the boys’ spectacular acting had to be used in such a terrible episode –one that will make a rewatch of this show an impossible task.

Thanks to everyone who’s been following my blog –some of you even for years. And I’m really, really sorry that somehow I contributed to helping build hope in a show which proved us that family does end with blood.
