This is my piece for the Supernatural Demine Ukraine Art Raffle, organized by @sailorsallyarty & @lamiasage. My winning bidder, Kasey, mentioned a Dean/Cas first meeting as one of their potential ideas, and so Castiel raising Dean from Hell was what immediately came to mind. It's not something I've had much chance to draw and paint before, and I immediately found myself thinking about Michelangelo's Rodanini Pietà, which I just had the chance to visit and see in person earlier this summer. I immediately filed it away in my memory banks for inspiration for one of my own pieces, and now, here it is.

I wanted to try to embrace the rough/unfinished nature of the sculpture in painting this, to suggest Dean's soul and body not fully healed or recreated just yet. Castiel is also not fully in his vessel here but I wanted to go loud and bright with the blue of his grace and wings against the rough flames of Hell. 

Again, you can see the entire work on my AO3 post - I was afraid of bumping up against the tumblr censors here.

so i'm relistening to Bridgewater season 1 and i was looking at the real Bridgewater Triangle wiki page and the map of the area and out of curiosity i cross-referenced the area with this travel map of Supernatural and noticed that while Dean (and Sam) never ventured into the triangle they got close when they visited Providence, Rhode Island which is just over 10 miles away from the closest corner of the triangle on the other side of the Massachusetts state line, and why were they in Providence? well, the episode was 2x13 Houses of the Holy ie. the very first angels ep where Dean (a seasoned supernatural hunter) didn't believe in angels even though they later turned out to be real. meanwhile Bridgewater focuses on a seasoned folklore professor living in the Bridgewater Triangle who doesn't believe in the supernatural even though it later turns out to be real and is played by the actor who plays the angel Castiel who is the first real angel Dean meets.

During an argument

Sam: Go to hell, Dean.

Dean: been there, done that, got raised outta perdition. Shut the fuck up, Sammy.

April 28 - May 1, 2024 - the CW sniper is dead.

Supernatural trends following the passing of the CW sniper. Whilst no official confirmation was published regarding their death, Misha Collins made a statement regarding destiel and since he's still alive, we can conclude that the CW sniper is no more.

The Cross Roads 8 Supernatural convention is currently taking place [x]. As usual, things have been said. There was one statement however which caused the tag to trend and it was (unsurprisingly) by Misha Collins, in response to a question asked by our bravest soldier @sunglassesmish [x].

"If the CW wasn't so homophobic, Dean and Cas would've been balls deep for sure." [x] [x] [x]

Whilst this may not be the exact quote (I haven't been able to find a video yet), this was enough to cause a destiel revival. More things have happened, and people on Twitter are posting under #CR8 in case anyone's interested. Multiple Supernatural tags are trending there as well [x].

RIP the CW sniper, you will not be missed.

The photos from the Radio Company show broke my brain and I was forced to draw this 😅

The inspiration/reference image for Dean is from a photo from the Radio Company show, credit to cookcamera on instagram. Misha then released those spn tape ball photos and I was powerless to stop myself from drawing this.

it’s always “hey u up?” and never “i’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition” :/

"Cas rescuing someone from hell, but he lost grip so now he has them by the feet"

A few days later:

it's the way this shot of wade had me in such a chokehold that i had to write a whole fic about it. one thing about me is that when i write about wade from logan's pov it's really just my pov. anyway excuse me while i go stare at this for another five hours

Hey umm Cas? Got your ears on?

👉🏻👈🏻 I’m the oldest child in my family, do you wanna raise me from perdition?

Maybe? If you’ve got time?

I know you’re busy being happy with your husband but if y’all could spare a minute I’d be very grateful to be raised from my own personal gay hell!

Here is your reminder that it’s now the season to grip your local oldest child tight and raise them from perdition.

Haters will claim this wasn't a Sastiel divorce arc

It would have been so beautifully poetic if Dean had rescued Cas from the empty paralleling Cas rescuing Dean from hell.
