You legit have the best spn takes I love the patheticness of Rowena but never actually thought too much about it but your post makes me appreciate that part of her sm
Thank you! People are so nice to me 🥹 she needs to be a little scheming worm who gets maybe two thirds of what she wants maximum. She needs a project. She would be bored of running Hell with no conflict or further goals within about a week. Rowena has wanted the IDEA of running Hell for a long time but from what we've seen of what being monarch of Hell actually IS with Crowley (or, what he made it into) she's going to be bored out of her skull. She looked bored in the episode. She's a schemer!! Let her scheme! It's like if Chandler from FRIENDS just stopped telling jokes forever as his final position on the show and all his (titular) friends agreed it was good for him. Or if Winston from New Girl put down his racoon costume and said "I'm going to become an ivestment banker" and did it with no issues and no silliness that was his endgame. It doesn't feel right.
Anyway!!!!! Pathetic Rowena is so good. When she was trying to build a coven and all the witches were like. Have you forgotten that you're a complete loser??? Or when she "reconnects" with Crowley as his untrustworthy advisor and gives the most obviously scheming bad advice and the only reason he lets her get away with it is because she's his mother and he pities her a little. Or when she manages to get in good with Amara but Amara's like hm. You kind of suck huh. like that's golden.
I would have had, for her final appearance as "queen of hell", she does her whole big grand entrance being carried around by demons (loved that for her), giving (slightly quicker) lofty advice* about working on relationships (because that IS necessary for the theme of the episode) and getting her demons to look for Michael. And THEN after they get the news that he's not in Hell, have one of her demon aides warn her that the actual queen is coming so she's gotta go and the boys are like. The who. What. Meanwhile Rowena is scrambling to get her things and is like 'aye well maybe introducing myself as queen was a tad preemptive, but I will be. Good luck boys, best get out of here sharpish if you want to keep yer heads ❤️" and a specific goodbye to Sam with a kiss on the cheek since she was. His best friend???? and they don't presently have A Moment in the episode. It wouldn't take much. It would also solve the weird place of them being best friends with the queen of hell where - presumably - eternal torture is still happening. Easier to handwave if the position of power is incredibly tenuous like Crowley's was always depicted as.
To conclude. Kiss kiss kiss 💋
*not to be confused with giving Lofty advice, a character from BBC Casualty who crossed over to BBC Holby City and whom I hate with the fire of a million suns.
#this is long.... ddhjsdn#god winston got so screwed over by that one season where he didn't have ANYONE to bounce off bc the other 4 had romantically paired off#he was completely adrift from the group and also reality#it was like none of them actually liked him because they never spent any time with him on his whimsy which meant he was 0% involved in their#more major life events. no one is coming to winston the cartoon man for advice on their love drama. and if they did his advice#would have to be nonsense to fit with how divorced from reality he became#it was bad out there. they fixed it though. kind of. he got a scene partner that wasn't his cat. the others still didn't really#hang out with him#AND correspondingly everyone ELSES plotlines became more boring and less whacky#like you can't have Jess accidentally inhaling a load of helium right before an important meeting in the same episode that Winston#is entering himself and his cat into a jump rope competition for children because there's nothing in the RULES to say a cat#can't play jump rope!!#because you'd be cutting from normal sitcom unbelievable wacky hijinks to grossly unbelievable wacky hijinks#that the joker would come up with#so they're all relegated to overwrought emotional drama with a couple of jokes and not getting into situational comedy#this is part of why having 6 FRIENDS worked so well because even if you have 2 big relationships you've still got an obvious person#for the other guys to do plots with#and the nonromantic bonds are super strong with *everyone*#anyway. follow for more random pot shots at Lofty from Casualty and the writing of New Girl while I machine gun kill supernatural I guess#lol
