#i actually was thinking about not posting it and focusing more on sam or s*stiel but i'm annoyed now and posting this anyway

[thegeminisage]

i know it’s really weird to say without context “the devil’s half-human kid” jack so let me add some context to this. this was originally going to be a post about season 13′s opening but there’s too much explanation involved so we have to recap the end of s12 first (non non-mary parts, which, frankly, every piece of television ever written is inferior to the mary parts of supernatural)

so to recap:

during season 12, during the non-mary parts that weren’t important and again don’t really matter, lucifer, who escaped hell’s cage in season 11, decides to have himself a kid with a human woman to create an archangel’s nephilim, which would be more power than any being that ever existed besides god. he also possessed the president to do this but that’s horrible writing and UTTERLY besides the point. i am focusing on the good parts here

the woman lucifer impregnated (her name is kelly kline) tries to kill herself in order to the baby bc hello it’s the antichrist

(they did rip off this whole antichrist thing from @cambionverse​ they were READING OUR FIC i know only 12 people have read our fic but i know this in my heart. sorry anyway)

but ANYWAY then the unborn baby SAVES HER LIFE by healing her wounds and she realizes there might be good in the child after all and that he might be able to help her

this sounds like pro-life propaganda but i was actually a big fan of their execution on this - til now she had basically been used as a human incubator with no agency at all, and suddenly she has the world’s most unexpected ally in this unborn kid who didn’t ask to be here anymore than she did

so together kelly and her unborn child manage to escape the demons and run into castiel, who had been looking for lucifer’s baby mama in order to uh. take care of that whole situation. and when the bad guys catch up to them the kid decides he likes cas, cas is good people, and he lets him borrow a little power (angels all got nerfed back in s9) to smoke the holy hell out of them. and cas also realizes this kid is Good, or has the potential to be good, and he decides to run off with kelly to protect her from both lucifer and his demons and also the winchesters who are UH ALSO LOOKING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT WHOLE SITUATION

dean is PISSED at cas and he thinks the baby is brainwashing cas and kelly both and is only acting to protect its own life and that it’s definitely going to be evil and kill everyone. if you heard about dean and cas almost getting divorced in season 12, this is why. it’s like. peak d*stiel content imo. also this is after cas’s no-homo “i love you......all”

anyway the baby has a bunch of omens happening to herald his birth, like storms and shit, and one such omen is that he tears a rip in the fabric of space-time, opening a portal to a world where john was never brought back to life and mary never had kids and so they could never save the world from the apocalypse in s5. this is important to mention for later

so the winchesters and lucifer catch up to cas and kelly at the same time, right as she’s having her baby. the birth kills her because lol classic sexist horror trope, but in the fight, castiel gets killed (shanked by lucifer right in front of dean’s eyes), and while mary DOES get to punch the devil in the face, she winds up jumping through the portal with lucifer into this alternate dimension right as it closes, trapping them both there

so the season ends with the baby being born, and cas’s body getting cold on the ground, mary and lucifer GONE, and sam has to leave dean alone with cas to go upstairs and check on the antichrist. pan to EXTREMELY ominous glowing eyes, cut to black, credits. that’s the season

and then the season 13 trailer looks like this:

TELL ME this doesn’t look like classic spn and scary as shit. you can’t. this is such a fucking sexy trailer. like, the big question of that particular part of season 12 is: is this kid gonna be dangerous? is he gonna fucking kill us? we are dealing with the antichrist here!

and then we go into season 13 with dean on the brink of despair, half his family dead, and sam and dean dealing with this antichrist kid all alone and uuugh i’m going to make a separate post this has gotten too long but listen to me. look me in the eyes. it’s good. no one believes me but it’s good
