it's da fog

things that were allowed on the cw show supernatural: god being the big bad, god having girlfriends and boyfriends, angel being gay.

things that weren't allowed on the cw show supernatural: dean telling his best friend that he loves him.

Dean's reaction when he thinks Cas may be God

Dean: Cas, are you God?

Cas: That's a nice compliment. But no.

Dean's reaction when seeing Chuck is God

[In Dean's mind: Chuck? That can't be right]

[*checks the amulet*]

[*sees the amulet is still shining*]

[*keeps staring at the amulet in the hope it's a trick of the light]

[In Dean's mind: Fuck :/]

[In Chuck's mind: Next time Castiel dies I will so not bring him back]

“Hey, sweetheart. Okay, we're gonna get you out of here. We're gonna get you safe, okay?”

SUPERNATURAL | 11x20 - Don’t Call Me Shurley

[shallowseeker]

I love how in s12 Rock Never Dies, Lucifer IS using Cas as a stand-in for Chuck.

Here, Lucifer wants Cas's reaction, his attention. He's throwing his feelings of abandonment onto Cas.

He beats up Crowley, then he kills Tommy, THE ONE WHO HAD RUN TO CAS:

Then he looks to Cas... to SEE if Cas reacted.

And like, he throws Cas onto a couch. Clearly, Lucifer doesn't want Cas out of commission here.

He wants Cas to watch him kill the people to get a reaction out of Cas. THAT'S what the "weak/pleasureless/dutybound dullard" line is all about. It's the goading, maestro.

Lucifer finds it difficult to ruffle Cas.

//

In the shared mindscape in s11, Lucifer isn't torturing Cas per se, something that shocks even Crowley.

(((Aside// One of the things I noticed upon rewatch is that, a few flares of unruliness aside, Cas's predominant feeling for Crowley in season 10 turns out to be... pity.

Surprisingly, Crowley responds to that, as shown here in his complicated mess of behavior as he jumps in to help out… And Crowley is hilariously frustrated with Cas. "Snap out of it!"))))

But back to the Lucifer of it all. Even though Lucifer’s letting Cas be, he immediately moves to brutalize Crowley. "You want to put me back in the cage!" Lucifer screams. He also echoes Chuck: "You plotted to replace me!"

(Chuck will, in fact, say this TO Lucifer later in s11: "I know you plotted to replace me with the angels!")

///

Later, Lucifer faces off against Amara, the person with the twin fear that he has: being ignored, put into a CAGE.

But interestingly, she has no sympathy for him. (Hey, hey did betray her. But so did Chuck...)

She spends most of her time torturing Lucifer and brutalizing him beyond comprehension:

//

In the heat of battle, she rips Lucifer away from Cas and throws him away without a thought.

And even though she spent most of her time in season 11 creating discord and evil on the earth in similar measure to how Lucifer does (toxic fog that turns people berserk, storms, burning religious wellwishers to a crisp), there is peace and forgiveness waiting for her.

No one looks for Lucifer or even considers offering him a path to redemption/forgiveness.

It's no wonder Lucifer focuses his anger on Cas. Cas was the most stable presence he had in eons.

Before I'll put my newest edit up, I have to tell you the story how it came to be. I scrolled through my fyp on tiktok and came across a post about a horse and they used Berlin's "Take my breathe away". As soon as I heard the song, my mind went to Spn 11x20, the fog scene at the precinct.

So I immidiately screenrecorded the scenes I wanted to use, edited them together and then as I was about to add the audio, I couldn't do it. The scene between the brothers is so good, to use this song felt like a mockery, so I dismissed it. Then I went searching for another song I could use and I came across the little treasure "When the fog rolls in" from Train. And *BOOM* I had the (for me) perfect music for this edit. 😊

See for yourself

11x20: Croatoan Part 2

[shallowseeker]

The fight against dark places:

Against running away, against checking out of life forever, against nihilism, against depression, against hopelessness, against suicide.

Against accepting what someone else tells you that you are.

Cosmic entities telling you what you want, how to feel. "Go to sleep." "Become boundless."

"Give up your identity." "I won't be resisted." And if you do resist... I'll find a way to kill what you love, so you won't have a reason to resist anymore.

"Where if there were no rules? No pain, no prayer... just bliss. For everyone. Forever."

Give up your humanity, your smallness

"I am the end of your struggle," Amara says. "Angels, demons...you all end up here," the Shadow says.

///

"Infinite peace, yes? Think about it. No pain. No regrets.

And later.

THIS is the Empty... pretending to be Dumah. It's attacking Heaven to get to Jack, sure.

BUT CONSIDER:

...its troublesome reaction to seeing Cas again. First, the disbelief: "I thought you were supposed to be on Earth." (The Empty can't get to Earth.)

Perhaps, when it HEARS how much Cas cares about Jack; it realizes that Jack is a thing tying Cas to Earth. Or maybe... that it can use this opportunity to get what it really wants: the immediacy of having Cas quiet and willing, "in a place that is worse that Hell."

(I think of: "Hell is Hell for demons, too." If the Empty can't get back to sleep, then... perhaps where it lives is a terrible place to be.)

"Don't leave me."

*heavy breathing*

*stare*

///////

BONUS:

The Empty (in Dumah): "What does it want?"

"Jack."

HERE'S THE THING THOUGH.

Does it? Is that what The Shadow really wants? As the audience, we're heavily colored by Naomi's assumption here.

Perhaps after letting Cas go... it realized it wanted Cas back?

Castiel, run.

Like Amara, who wanted nothingness, for "everything to go away, everyone except you, Dean," ...perhaps the Empty wanted to soak in nothingness... alongside a companion.

Ever since it woke up, maybe it's learned the difference between being alone and being lonely?

Ok, I haven't finished 11x20, but this is one of the best episodes in this show. It's amazing. I love it.
