#balthazar and cas

[mischieviem]

Forced myself to draw other characters

[scoobydoodean]

"cas's only crime in season 6 was acting like a protagonist which is why he's punished for it bc dean controls the narrative of early seasons" is a take i've seen and im like. you mean chuck right. like. chuck is the guy who punished castiel constantly. chuck put the leviathans in purgatory. like i know dean is the pov character but like. he doesnt have that much narrative control

What if I said I think that take is insufferable hair brained nonsense that’s transparently motivated by a desire to ascribe a level of power and control to Dean that he simply has never and will never possess in order to villainize him for Cas’s mistakes because Cas simply making a choice that he knew was dangerous and could easily backfire on him and subsequently did is so distressing to deancrit casgirls that they can’t cope with it and have to do 5 rounds of olympic gymnastics inventing entire new worlds of Things That Did Not Happen to find a way to make it Dean’s fault that Cas got teen pregnant

Yes, there is a right answer, but I'm not going to tell you who until the results are in.

Just the first 12 that came to mind. Just pick whos the hottest out of the listed characters, even if you like another character better. just choose the best from the options provided.

when one of my mutuals posts about a ship i don't love but i still support them and their opinions

[ghostie-sam]

Supernatural characters as quotes from my quote book! (I’m tired and in pain so this is the result)

Crowley: "I have priorities... they may be a bit immoral but still priorities"

Endverse Castiel: "I'm sorry I've confused my wives"

Dean: "I'm not a cannibal but I'd eat that ass"

Gabriel: "We're gonna be a bunch of hoes and walk the strip"

Literally anyone: “Do I look like I self love?”

Sam: "Yeah you just payed for your murder"

Balthazar: "I'm the bird you hit with your car"

Castiel: "I could curse at you in German but I wont"

Im realizing most of the quotes in my quote book aren’t actually from me

Angels are shown time and time again to assert their own will, regardless if they spout the party line or not.

Supernatural, Season 6 , Episode 21

Let It Bleed

I also didn’t know who H.P Lovecraft was. I’m just like Dean. Haha.

Ben and Lisa? Oh Noo

“Your chocolate has been in my peanut butter for way too long” - Crowley

They called Balthazar?? haha. Why did they think that he would help?

Dean is torturing demons. :( I hate it when he does. Aw because of the guilt from them being taken.

Sam is calling Cass. Yay. Oh Cas was there, and now he’s talking to Crowley. Yay.

Why is Cas being delusional? This shit wasn’t risk free the whole time? Woah Balthazar putting up good points.

What does the dimension and the monster from the other world have to do with Cas and the civil war?

What??? what ? who was on the picture? I wanna see.

What , How did that demon break through the demon trap? And Cas saved Dean.

Ellie? She’s a? whatever? Monster? Supernatural thing? I know what you are Ellie.

She’s a nice monster , yay.

“Drinking your feelings Sam?I though that was your brothers bag.”

Balathazar is team Sam and Dean.

WHAT????? Dean is Ben’s real dad? What??? Or is the demon lying to distract Dean? But they usualt tell the most painful truths. That’s what Dean said to Jo when Sam was possessed and said Dean saw Jo as a little sister.

Okay , Just Kidding, I freaked out and paused to type thay big para.

Dean never wanted Ben to shoot , and now he has to. He’s traumatised now. Just like Sam and Dean ig.

She’s okay, i’m relieved. Oh she’s dying? Cas saved her.

Cas is being kind of manipulative? Like i’ll give you this if you support me on something you don’t want to support me on? One more thing? what? Oh their memories are wiped.

Oh so when I asked back then, they don’t get to know that Dean died. Because they don’t know who Dean is. Great. Even more sad.

I think Sam really hates it when Dean cries. Like seeing him cry hurts a lot. Dean has probably seen Sam cry a lot , as a kid so it doesn’t work that way? as much?

Oh Cas took Ellie.

awooo! finally got around to playing with @saruin's new set!

[hexentaenzerin]

If you love Wednesday and Supernatural, you will LOVE @bleuzombie's latest fic Thursday's Child Has Far To Go that is part of the @cdrcrossoverbang. Do yourselves a favor and go read it. I'm so happy with what Bleu did just from my interpretation of Dean in a kilt and Cas in all black in front of the Wednesday window. It has non-binary Dean being a ray of sunshine, and a grumpy Cas and what is not to love about that? Not gonna spoiler you all for all the amazing things in the fic, but you're in for a treat!

Cas and Balthazar friendship—Balthazar the only angel who stood up for Cas in heaven, he knows Cas, he can see right through Cas’s bs, Balthazar is hedonistic and selfish, but that’s not all he is and he does care about his friend. He does love Cas.

But Cas is spiraling, he’s not heeding Dean, or Sam, and he’s not listening to Balthazar, and Cas goes over the line, in his desperation.

The tragedy of Cas and Balthazar.

[thebiggestmenace]

yk something I find interesting is how Castiel became "Cas" to the other angels. we know he became Cas so quickly to the boys, but don't angels always call each other their full names? yet, Anna (and I think the ones at the playground) called him Cas

idk it's interesting to me. like, was this them acknowledging that Cas lost his need to serve Heaven and him gaining a sense of humanity?

6x15 The French Mistake

[incorrectspnquotess]

michael: gabe... how do i begin to explain gabe?

balthazar: gabe is flawless.

raph: i hear his hair's insured for $10,000.

cas: i hear he does car commercials... in japan.

luci: one time he punched me in the face... it was awesome.

gabe, lounging on a couch: oh, my siblings, you flatter me. please, continue.

*rumbling from the sky*

gabe: aaand that's my queue to leave.

gabe, snaps his fingers and everyone fades away. he vanishes right before a bolt of lightning strikes: baiiii!!!

[crowley-the-1-true-king-of-hell]

Balthazar makes it very clear that he is BETRAYING a friend

BALTHAZAR: I'm betraying a friend here. A very powerful friend. We all are. So I think I've stuck my neck out far enough already. Good luck

He calls Cas powerful. Remember that this is another angel saying this so it really put Cas' power into perspective. He isn't just powerful to another human he is also powerful to other angels. This friend is Cas. So I really do understand why Cas killed Balthazar because even Balthazar himself understands that he is betraying Cas and Balthazar was so right to say "we all are" like he made it clear that 1. Cas is their friend too and 2. They [ Sam & Dean ] are also betraying him

Balthazar was, when his life wasn't on the line, a great friend and brother. Way better than Sam & Dean. Unrelated to that I totally get why he betrayed Cas for survival reasons, as well as out of worry that those souls would kill Cas. Meanwhile Dean's problem wasn't that, it was just that he didn't like Cas working with Crowley, even though he did the same

I also get why Cas killed Balthazar. I do find it sucky that Cas didn't kill the boys too, but Doylist, the boys are necessary for the show. I really appreciate that Balthazar acknowledges this for what it is. Betraying a friend rather than saving people

I believe it was Doylist not Watsonian that killed Balthazar. Because I genuinely do believe Cas loved Balthazar and yet he didn't "work around Balthazar's betrayal" like he did for Sam and Dean? Cas has even worked around season 8 Crowley!

Writers don't want Cas to have any distractions away from Dean ofc

Balthazar was also worried that Cas absorbing all of those souls would kill Cas

Was Cas wrong for this?

Morally wrong? No. Balthazar became a soldier. A double agent. He said as much himself. He signed up for the consequences of war

But is it valid to FEEL wronged by Cas and or more accurately the writers killing off Balthazar? Absolutely. I feel wronged by the writers killing off someone who genuinely cared about Cas. Even Balthazar's betrayal, while motivated by survival was also motivated by a fear of Cas dying to all those souls

Cas loved Balthazar like a brother and I find it hard to believe that Cas would kill Balthazar if Cas were a real being not under narrative control. Cas spared the Winchesters because the show is about them and also because he loves them. Even though the Winchesters also betrayed him. But he also loved Balthazar too. He grew up with Balthazar over millions of years. Cas has worked around season 8 Crowley and I'm pretty sure if the show wanted then Cas can work around Balthazar being a double agent. Maybe feed Balthazar lies etc

You deserved better from the show Balthazar. I really wish you told the Winchesters to fuck off like you usually do

[shallowseeker]

Balthazar was a pretty brave dude. I mean, he followed Cas's lead--tore up the pages! He went hard into what he thought free will should look like (basically, hedonism and doing whatever-the-fuck he wanted).

But his REAL shining moment of free will?

Was in disagreeing with Cas.

He thought Cas's plan was a bad one, and he told him that! He didn't just balk at being kept in the dark. No... It was that Cas might blow up himself in a holy suicide mission and take "half the planet with him."

War is always a no-win, but you can't risk "blowing up the village just to save it."
