it's Cas!posting hours again

I’m doing a season 4 rewatch of Supernatural because I need to watch this angel fall again. And god, it’s so good. The Destiel of it all is literally from minute one and never lets up, for one thing. Like, the insane crazy eye contact and whispered conversations alone in the dark and the way Castiel constantly shows up in the aftermath of really terrible moments of Dean’s life, where the only role available to him is to listen to Dean spill emotions everywhere, and do his little angel best to provide some sort of comfort? Are you fucking kidding me?

I just finished watching s4e7 “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester” and need to talk about it for a minute. Thee Castiel just radiating BDE. Uriel’s the specialist, but Cas is the one who gets to decide whether Uriel goes to work and gets to reprimand and threaten him. I am. Okay.

Anyway, I’m just considering it all from Cas’s perspective. Like, what does he actually know about Dean Winchester? So little. They have spent max two hours in each other’s company at this point. He knows that Dean was feisty enough to stab him and yell at him, and he obviously thinks it’s kinda cute because he just lets him do it. Like a puppy that hasn’t learned not to bite yet. What else does he know? He knows Dean got very pissed about the rising of the witnesses, and the deaths of his fellow hunters. Understandable, maybe. Castiel is pissed about the loss of his own fellow soldiers. Makes sense.

Then there was s4e3, “In the Beginning,” and now Castiel knows that Dean loves his family and it hurt him to see what happened to his mother and why everything happened with Sam the way it did. And Castiel felt it. He felt that pain from Dean, and it wasn’t his place to stop any of this, he was just there to drive the car and make the cryptic threats. But he reached out and touched his shoulder, because Dean was in pain and Castiel couldn’t look at it without wanting to do something. That little touch is where the crack formed. 100%

Now it’s Halloween, and they need to destroy a whole town. Castiel last saw Dean about a month ago, and he’s been busy trying to stop the apocalypse. It’s difficult and his brothers are dying and he’s stressed. Now he’s here, and he has to destroy a town. And Castiel doesn’t want to, but it’s not up to him, it’s up to Dean. And Castiel doesn’t know this, because he can’t remember, but he’s been here before. He’s felt this doubt before, and they’ve drilled into his brain and pulled it out of him. He’s had all previous instances of hesitation stolen from him. So now, here, his doubts are new and frightening. And Dean Winchester gets to decide. This man whose significance he doesn’t fully know or understand. He knows he was commanded to pull him out of hell, he knows Dean feels loyalty to hunters and family, but he doesn’t know what Dean will do when it’s his life, his brother’s life, against the lives of random people he doesn’t know and would never see again anyway. Castiel will do whatever Dean says, but he knows he might be disappointed. That he might have to kill 1,214 people depending on who Dean really is.

Then Dean proves himself to be the man that Castiel was secretly hoping he was. He won’t let them destroy the town and he will put his own life on the line for it. Dean loves humanity, the way that Castiel is not allowed to remember that he does, too. Dean does what Castiel was longing to do and praying that Dean would do for him, and he makes the space where Castiel can profess those feelings safely.

Yeah, Cas falls. Of course he does. This episode makes me truly believe that he was going to anyway and Dean was just the catalyst for it this time. He’s fallen before, but this time, he gets to remember. Because Dean is the immovable object that meets the unstoppable force, because Dean is a fixed point in the universe. This time, when Cas falls in love with humanity, they can’t take it away from him because his love literally has plot armor.

04x07: It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester, Supernatural

ugh, the angels really play sam and dean secrets off of eachother in a way that looking back you can really see the goal of sending them into a giant fight. Cas telling dean to stop sam, Uriel telling sam to ask about hell

simply the juice

playing up each sides insecurities about their relationship until it all falls apart

[soulmates-for-real-tranquility]

Older Sam/Younger Dean?

J2? 😏

Do y'all ever think that Dean didn't panic the way Sam and Cas did because he already knows exactly what it feels like

to lose a son?

[monstermoviedean]

i'm fucking obsessed with the fact that cas gets one solo mission with dean and then the next time we see him he has an escort. uriel is chaperoning him to make sure he doesn't try anything. like the nursemaid assigned to guard the princess' virtue.

04x07 - It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester

MotW: witch trying to raise Samhain (the demon of halloween, basically)

Any Cas? Yesssss

Oh god, razor blades in the halloween candy. That's disturbing.

Ah, hex bag, makes sense

Hi, Ashley Benson!

Fuck, her face was boiled. Poor Jenny

HI CAS. God, Sam meeting Cas is a GREAT scene

Hey, Uriel!

I'm sorry, but they're standing SO CLOSE TOGETHER. And Dean keeps licking his lips. How am I supposed to concentrate on whether they'll wipe out this town with all this going on???

Cas is already taking Dean's side and shutting Uriel up. Without looking away from Dean I CAN'T

"For all we know, God hates these jerks" I mean, you're not wrong? I guess?

Having Uriel around really shows that Cas is different. That he's the one who does care about humans

God, why does there need to be kissing, she's a teenager

Soo... if they'd let the angels wipe out the town, this seal wouldn't be broken for at least 600 years? No lucifer? No apocalypse? I don't want to say this, but maybe they should have let them?

Come on Dean, help him! You cannot be angry at him for using his powers here, he would've died

Sure, call the angels dicks to their faces. These brothers have balls of fucking steel

"I have doubts" this whole scene on the benches is so good. Cas is already such a great character my god

[ackleslove]

I was re-watching S04E07 It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester.

And I noticed how uncomfortable Dean gets when Cas is saying "Lucifer cannot rise. He does, and hell rises with him. Is that something that you're willing to risk?", all the while invading Dean's personal space. The very next thing Dean does is lick his lips. And you can tell it's not just because of what Cas said. And even when Sam is saying,"We'll stop this witch before she summons anyone. Your seal won't be broken and no one has to die", Dean's still uncomfortable because Cas is still in that space and is now looking at Dean with that intense gaze, ignoring Sam the whole time.

I can't unsee it and am giggling.
