So the thing about Gabe to me is that he doesn’t quite fit in the categorically of Angel Who Is Eventually Humanized the way that Castiel or Anna do. He is more down to earth than the other angels but specifically in the way that GODS are, not humans. Like, even if he's not literally Loki, Gabriel is functionally an earthen deity for the millenia he spent dicking around and killing people. Other gods are literally the crowd he runs in, and he's an asshole because gods are assholes (and he specifically decided to be one of the more extreme asshole gods). Even though his sensibilities can be very human-like, even if he generally likes humans and wants them to stick around, there was always some level of divinity to his cruelty. So even if he did ultimately choose humanity I feel like putting him in with the angels who actually know what it's like to be human misses this part of his character.

#arguing with no one i simply felt inspired to type up my thoughts on this #like. this guy didnt even know any humans before the winchesters and he tortured them before they got on remotely friendly terms #this is why s13 fucks him up because he loses that divinity when he's tortured and excised from the pagan community by loki #so its only angelic divinity that he has to hold onto but even he has to face up to the fact that the angel route is a lost cause for him #(not that it definitely wouldnt have worked out but thats just where he is emotionally and it Probably would have gone wrong somehow)#not that that wouldve been gabe's fault heaven is just fucked to the core #gabriel learning to be human is an arc that he never had and im sad about that bc i think it wouldve been an interesting one #which is the reason im a fic where he loses his grace at the end of s13 instead of jack #supernatural #gabriel spn
