#disclaimer in case it wasn't obvious: both sam's hot demon-blood summer and ruby's status as undisputed winner of s4 are extremely sexy

[shinelikethunder]

society if anyone in supernatural season 4 had pointed out that reciting a few dozen words of latin may take half a minute longer than Sam's Hot Girl Shit demon power-extraction trick, but the exorcisms they already know how to do don't come with an escalating risk of walking away with black eyes and are, like, the exact same level of less-lethal

(...than the gun and knife also supplied by Ruby, btw. with instructions that are just "everybody get real cool with a bunch of human sacrifice really quickly." which could mean nothing!)

--FUCK, what if. what if being hopped up on demon meth just, like, completely nerfs your ability to do an exorcism. sorry, won't work, too unholy rn... Ruby would only need to get him to try it once and then convince him the hot girl shit is now his only nonviolent option
