#female vessel Castiel

[endversecastielobsessor]

I am absolutely in love with 1901 Castiel. She deserves more love.

I’m talking about this beautiful woman btw!!!

When Cas got Dean out of hell he/she didn't take Jimmy for a vessel yet.

“i miss her”

[justlyndalynn]

This! Exactly this!!

i really like the idea of Dean fully aware he is not being normal with Cas, that he isn't "just" his best buddy or brother in arms, he doesn't even care cas's in a male vessel, not really, because that's the thing, he's also fully aware that Cas is a divine creature, something so big and abstract that Dean can't even begin to comprehend, so despite needing him, wanting him, he never thinks that having something like that with Cas is even a possibility, that Cas would eventually move on from these two humans he's met because he's literally eons old, so he never tries anything, and then the angel is telling him he loves him and he's sobbing on the floor and UGH

Castiel’s female vessel

[angel-fruitcake]

can't stop thinking about the concept of post-canon Destiel reunion where Dean confesses his mutual romantic feelings and Cas is so happy, don't get him wrong! but even though he's grown fond of this vessel that he's had for years, for some reason Cas can't seem to get past his worry and insecurity that maybe Dean isn't 100% sold on the whole idea of being intimate with a man.

so without meeting Dean's gaze, Cas hesitantly offers with a touch of sadness, "if this vessel isn't satisfactory for you, i-i could perhaps try to procure a female v-"

and Dean grabs Cas by his heated cheeks, promptly shutting him up with a kiss.

once the initial shock subsides and Cas finally starts to relax, Dean pulls back just enough to whisper against the angel's lips, "i want you just like this. this," Dean squeezes Cas' face for emphasis, "is the Cas that i met in that barn all those years ago. this is the Cas that pulled me outta hell." Dean trails wet kisses along Cas' stubbled jawline, pausing when his lips reach the angel's ear. "this is the Cas i fell in love with."

Castiel melts against Dean with a whimper.

Some part of me is desperately curious to see the alternative universe version of "classic" fandom shows and movies with female versions of male characters. Like, fanfiction is fucking great for that, don't get me wrong. I love a good M-to-F fic whether it's a cisgender bend or a transition story! Beautiful stuff. Stunning character work. But I still have a morbid curiosity regarding what the writers of canon would have done with even cisgender female versions of these characters, knowing that basically none of them can be fucking normal about women given what was done with the original female characters.

"AU in which Spock is a woman, but I try to write this shit from the benevolent-sexism-dunked headspace of a TOS writer!" "AU in which Castiel is in a female vessel from the beginning, but with 'Supernatural' canon-style writing quality!" "AU in which Naruto is a girl protagonist, but written with the same respect for motivations and development as the original female characters!" Horrifying. The fandom would've been a complete fucking nightmare. I kind of want to see that.

Castiel in a male vessel and Castiel in a female vessel

[mad-as-a-box-of-frogs]

I mean if the gay dean truthers want to twist themselves into pretzels talking around Dean’s long history of having sexual and romantic relationships with women to dismiss every single one, that’s their prerogative, but then to flip around and say every lukewarm/dead fish/most just straight up assault/interaction castiel has ever had with a woman makes him soooooo very bisexual ? ? ?

[musclesandhammering]

Ok but consider 1901 Castiel realising Ishim is harassing and abusing Lily and that being the reason she rebels against her siblings. So the whole show is set in the early 1900s with fem!Cas and Lily as the lead protagonists and the Winchesters just… don’t exist lol.

Also yeah Lily Sunder is 100% a lesbian, I’m tinhatting but listen. Right off the bat she’s remarkably independent and is a professor of history and the occult in 1901 which already has gay power + energy, and then she’s walking around in 2016 in a gay pantsuit and an eyepatch like……. and then you have her relationship with Akobel which is very clearly not romantic but they let people think they were which I mean thats bearding. And she certainly didnt love Ishim, he disgusted her and she cut ties with him when he started being obsessively in love with her, long before the Incident. Yes she has a daughter but it was the turn of the 20th century so comp het is NOT a stretch, never mind that May’s actual father is evidently not around anymore, if he ever even was since he’s never seen or described or even actually mentioned iirc. The situation is weirdly ambiguous so may could have even been adopted (also not a stretch for the time period) or who knows. Regardless it looks like Lily has been traumatised by men her whole long life and she managed to survive to a year where gay marriage is now legal and thats why i think she deserves a girlfriend

Changing Channels analysis (cause this episode is so good!)

Let's first talk about Dean and how he relates to TV — and how that also relates to his sexuality!

Near the beginning we see Dean, mouth open, straight on staring at a dramatic medical show. From a character analysis, we see a couple things. Television has shaped so much of Dean's life and how he relates to it and uses it to relate to other people.

Dean uses these tv references to relate to others. But sometimes he tries to hide his viewing habits. During this scene, Dean tries to play off watching the show as a fluke, but even before the facade is lifted later on, he mentions: "I think it's based on a book," this tells us that Dean knows more about this show than he's letting on.

Later on, when Dr. Sexy makes his appearance, Dean is starstruck: blushing, first afraid to look him in the eye. He doesn't seem as fixated on the female doctor, the one notably in the elevator in the first scene. In fact, that character is obsessed with Sam.

It is Dr. Sexy Dean is obsessed with, the one where Dean can't put up the facade, who looks down blushing and sees that his shoes are not his usual sexy cowboy boots. For many people, this is one of the loudest Dean being bi episodes.

Moving on to a slightly related note: Cas

This episode is only a few after Free To Be You and Me and The End. If we take into account Dean and Cas' friendship by the time CC aired, Dean and Cas have become better friends. They worked a case together spending a lot of time together. Then Dean saw Cas in another world follow him to the end — a su*cide mission. And he realizes not only what Cas would do for him but his feelings about Cas may be deeper than he originally thought.

Throughout this entire episode he worries about Cas. He brings up Cas many times, worried about where he is. (At least 3 times it's brought up) And near the end, when they figure out who the trickster really is, one of the first things Dean does is threaten Gabriel to bring Cas back.

Dean was worried about losing Cas. He had to experience it in The End and I don't think he was ready to lose him again.

During the Japanese game show, the host also calls Cas "pretty boy angel" leading to a series of facial expressions on Dean's face. These expressions can be read as Dean realizing that Cas is pretty. Another example of both Dean's bisexuality and his feelings about Cas. Cas is also part of the reason Dean figures out who the trickster really is.

When Cas comes back for the second time and the trickster shows up, the trickster shows his cards. Cas says "if it is the trickster," then Gabe recognizing Castiel, and being so adamant about the apocalypse, Dean figures it out. I love this moment because sometimes SPN capitalizes on making Dean dumb for laughs, but this is a moment of Dean's brilliance. Also notable is that Gabriel is aware of who Castiel is. Castiel was not a worker bee angel, he led a garrison, he was tasked with getting the righteous man out of Hell. Gabriel and Cas are one of the few angels to fall and choose humanity over angels.

Cinematography

I wouldn't be me if I didn't mention the amazing cinematography that SPN can have. Angel fire shots are always so pretty and can cast a sinister light on the subject. This episode goes from a light-hearted sitcom to once of the biggest reveals of the season.

The light wallpaper and bright lights turn into a dark and dreary wet pipe factory matching the tones of the reveal. Sam and Dean were not aware of their roles in the apocalypse fully until this episode. They knew that Dean started the seals and Sam releasing Lucifer, but not about being vessels. Out of a sense of guilt and duty, the boys are trying to stop the apocalypse in their own way. But now they have this heavy weight on them, not only are they vessels but their fate is for one of them to kill the other. Even with this knowledge, Dean says no, they won't kill each other. Their siblingship is strong here even after the short break up of a few episodes here.

While CC starts off as a fun romp, when we look deeper, it is full of great character analysis of the TFW. I love it.

the fix by luulapants, 12k so far, chose not to warn

an au where dean is a conservative politician and cas is a fixer. this is like, the fic i have been longing for for literal years, and i can't think of a better author to take on the topic. wip, but my experience is that luulapants will finish what she starts. destiel

lillith's fayre by all_the_damned_vampires, 17k, chose not to warn

a strange and wonderful fic with a lot of fun character stuff. meg is the main character, and she's joined by casey and lenore, two favorite side characters from the early seasons. and cas, of course. it's a whole polycule thing. they're in the circus in the nineties. the demon circus. i was particularly compelled by lenore's characterization.

should have been on my canon-a-little-to-the-left reclist:

in the twilight kingdom by argentnoelle, 48k, violence and noncon warnings plus chose not to warn

so i am actually currently enjoying this fic right now and im not done with it. i'm like halfway through? which is maybe against the spirit of things. but im REALLY liking it so far. it's a rewrite of seasons four and five which takes place mainly in hell. deanalastair, destiel, megstiel, and deancasmeg. the deanalastair parts are particularly compelling to me because they're like written like, you know. it reads like a sugar daddy thing. except of course you know how things started. you KNOW. sickeninggggg. and of course dean and meg are brainwashing themselves a castiel. which i'm greatly enjoying so far.

should have been on my rarepair reclist:

a rock with a hole in it by de_nugis, 11k

cas has an interlude with soulless sam in fairyland. a kind of fascinating, unsettling pastoralism. and it's not even set in season six. sastiel, unrequited destiel.
