Okay, I know that “it’s actually originally meant to show the passage of time instead of being bi colors” and all that…disregarding how that’s such a vibrant pink and a harsh, rigid, and very linear gradient for a supposed sunset, and that it’s already night (not sunset or twilight) at the crypt, whatever.
But regardless, I think putting a suspiciously bi-colored gradient behind cross-shaped bars, in the climax scene of the arc where Angel of the Lord Castiel’s heavenly biological family—who considers his deep connection with a man named Dean Winchester to be “corrupt,” as it is something that pulls him away from Heaven and is therefore forbidden and punishable under their rules—brainwashes him into detaching himself away from and almost killing said man, after they have chosen to introduce a new, very clinical set design for Heaven in this season for the sole purpose of having it go along with the lobotomies that they repeatedly have Cas go through for the said brainwashing, and all of this being done with the intention of having it be Dean’s CONFESSION and Cas’ LOVE for him that breaks the brainwashing and saves both of them, is—to be quite frankly—crazy, crazy work. Certainly a choice A Series of Fascinating Choices if you will.
#and i absolutely love how cas escapes the cage/conversion therapy but he’s not quite on the other (bisexual) side yet#and by the bisexual side i mean by dean’s side#because while cas is rejecting heaven’s control he’s still denying himself the love that he doesn’t think he deserves.#especially SUCH amount of love from dean? so much love that it’s enough for dean to *immediately* forgive cas who was about to kill him???#to cas it feels unearned…*undeserved*.#for the amount of love dean gives him the guilt from it is just as heavy.#i think that if cas actually somehow chose to stay with dean (ik he wouldn’t that’s ooc and misses the point)#BUT if he did stay they might’ve riden the impala into the sunset#a beautiful bi colored sunset.#like visual storytelling wise i think that’s the clearest way they could convey the message and add to the metaphor#while *still* leaving some space for vagueness and deniability.#but of course cas DOESN’T stay and dean has to drive the impala at night without cas while dejectedly playing goodbye stranger.#supernatural#spn#spn meta#spn 8x17#spn goodbye stranger#castiel#dean winchester#destiel#first post of the year i’ve been marinating this in my head for weeks.
