You've changed me

You are always on my mind.

Destiel meta (14x10 spoiler)

Ok! Third meta from 14x10, the first one you can read it here and the second one here.

How are you dear fandom? I'm discovering more and more clues from this episode... Yockey is a real genius!

Ok... I want to start from here...

First Encounter and how Castiel changed Dean

We've talked a lot about this, but did you imagine the impact in Dean's life being saved by this beautiful Supernatural powerful creature. And the words Castiel said to him, we know now, are making echo all the time in his life, in his head... Michael knows it, and maybe Castiel is so present in his mind that must be overwhelming, and the Archangel is unable to understand that, bc as I said before, he can reach the deepest feelings for Castiel.

So he is mad, and that's why he is mocking Castiel and Everyone else important in Dean's life, but in Castiel's case is different, is doing it because he knows something is there between this Seraphim and this hunter going on causing the Archangel not being able to complete the bond with his vessel.

Thanks @magnificent-winged-beast for this beautiful gif set! Michael looks really good! She made this specially bc I asked her for this meta!

So ok, we had seen this last seasons how the writers were using classic Destiel quotes in other characters to show us different meanings or to show us the singular/plural receptors. But this time, this time is so different... Because Michael is using the classic quotes (with so much meaning in Dean's heart and mind) to mocking them.

"Yeah, so he is important to you bc he rescued you from hell? Big deal..." So he doesn't understand the depth of Castiel and Dean'd relationship, he is like a child, and bc he has afraid of it too, something that he doesn't know... Can't reach.

That's why he is trying to break every bond Dean has with his family, and with this Angel that, for him, must be a mystery. As it was for Qareen and Amara (season 11).

This time this means DESTIEL.

Because as I said in my color meta about Mint Condition, Castiel is literally everywhere for Dean, in his mind, but also in his heart. And that's why when Dean remembers him, the blue light is showing us this graphically.

Smiling... Smiling all the way remembering Castiel, not just here, when he was talking about LOVE and STABBING THE HEART, he was smiling saying love can be more crazy than that. And more smiles in 14x06 too, when he touched the rooster, fondly, placing him apart, when the waitress said "Sometimes you only have the sex", he smiled in disagreement, but then fondly, because that's not what love means, he knows now.

Then... Is poetic how this is written... But most poetic is see the huge changes that Castiel provoked in him... Is Castiel aware of this??

Not just this Seraphim has changed a lot because of Dean, Dean had changed a lot too bc of him. But still... There's more work to do...

Still fighting against Toxicity.

So, here is the second part from the Rocky's bar analysis... It has to do with the title I wrote bc... He was literally trapped, locked up in this Emotional Prison (the bar) with time loops, monster that came for revenge, and the avoidance of all that means getting out from there...

The monsters there are the Hunting, FB (Family business). The one that was drunk and sleeping it reminds me to Mint Condition too, remember when they were scaping from the monster, they went into the morgue, and the monsters surprised them bc he was one of the corpses. Ok so this is the Sam, the drunk one surprised Dean and the others too. And now... Beware with the monster that is trapped inside Dean (Michael). Is like saying... The monster was always inside.

And this...

👆Here is like a prison inside a prison, Sam and Cas couldn't reach Dean when he was inside this room. And if you pay attention to the pics on the wall, there's a voluptuous anime girl and a couple of women. And Pam brought him booze to keep him drowned in alcohol. This is his toxic masculinity, in all his splendor. And here is where they have this boyfriend/girlfriend talk and the YOU DON'T WANT ME YOU JUST LIKE TO FLIRT. Is toxic!Dean not wanting to get out. His inner battle between hetero normative and his truly bi self.

So still fighting... But self acceptance will win!

Let's see what happens with the introduction of John! Could this fight end?

To conclude...

The first encounter in the barn is celebrating the 10th Anniversary, and that's why the writers are calling back to the 4th and 5th season that much, and also bc all the issue with Dean and Michael's Possession is one of the centric topics from this season.

Every word and memory related to Castiel, Dean has it present in his mind and soul all the time. The day he came back from Hell rescued by Castiel is the most important turning point in his life.

Castiel came to Dean's life to bring him hopes, faith, and love. Dean began a new path of self knowledge and self acceptance from the day he met Castiel.

But the inner war he has between Healing!Dean and Toxic!Dean needs to stop, we will see how the introduction of John Winchester (representing toxic masculinity and guilt heritage) can heal once for all .

Thanks for reading!

i cant believe pamelas speech about wanting what you cant have was really about the impala the whole time

[verobatto]

Thanks @michyribeiro for the tag!

Well I already talked about Pamela in this first part from my Analysis about Yockey's episode.

But for me, this character here is not PAMELA is a complex representation coming from Dean's subconscious.

You know projections in dreams (people and things) are not what they are but what they represent a complicated combination of memories, feelings, trauma, defense mechanism, etc.

So is not just Pamela, is not just Castiel. And the deconstruction for Analysis is very complex, but Yockey wrote it magnificently.

She is DEAN fem side, she is women, she is the random waitress, she is Castiel, she is Trauma, she is Guilt, she is first encounter with Castiel, Bisexuality.

So each quote she used, is related to a different representation.

when she said YOU DON'T WANT ME, YOU JUST LIKE TO FLIRT. That's the women and the waitress.

When she flirts with Castiel, she is Dean. (You can say that subconsciously Dean fem side identifies with Pamela's personality)

Here 👆 Dean and Pamela two sides from the same coin. Bisexuality. But also, there's the foxy rye beer by Pamela's side yelling she is not what Dean wants, bc fox are related with lies and scam. Dean is lying to himself in his emotional prison.

I loved the episode so much!!

Thanks again x the tag! 😘💕

So is anyone gonna talk about how Pamela wasn’t what Dean ACTUALLY wanted, per their exchange in Dean’s Mind Bar, but she had on a necklace with WINGS and was wearing a BLACK shirt that said “To Hell and Back Again?” Because we should talk about that.

[jaredandjensen]

Tell me... why do you hate this world enough to burn it to the ground? 

[destialpal]

At least we now know that “I’m the one that gripped you tight and raised you from perdition” is important to Dean, at least enough for Michael to idk USE IT AGAINST DEAN AND CAS’S RELATIONSHIP

On Balls and Sticks

Just FYI I dug this out of an abandoned 14x10 post that’s been sitting in my drafts for a year.  Now, my swiss cheese brain doesn’t remember if anyone’s already covered this, so apologies if I’m rehashing someone else’s work. This was part of a much longer post analyzing the shit out of the set dec in these scenes, which I ended up abandoning because I couldn’t get the images to work. Now that I’ve solved that dilemma, I may revisit the post in its entirety in the future, but after seeing the ‘Drowning’ video Shaving People Punting Things posted, I had to dig this back up. For now, I want to talk about this shot:

At the time it stuck out to me because it’s so deliberate, but also so seemingly odd, random, until I stared at the pool table for a while. Is it insane to analyze billiard balls to this extent? Maybe, but here we are. This is the section I originally wrote on this shot:

All hail Amanda Tapping. Now I didn’t catch this shot, other than noticing that it seemed odd for what it was shooting - but that’s because the pesky dialog and characters in the background aren’t the goddamn point. I’ve gotta give @naruhearts @thetwistedwillow​ and @castielslostwings all the credit in the world for a) bringing this up and b) midwiving this shit out of me. The first thing I’ll bring up is the (white) cue ball and (black) 8 ball being positioned across from each other, easily interpreted to represent good and evil. The three numbered balls positioned defensively, or perhaps defiantly, in a row in the middle: green stripe (Dean), blue stripe (Castiel) and maroon solid (Sam). The Dean and Cas balls are stripes, but the Sam ball is a solid. To me, it’s intentionally differentiating Sam from Dean and Cas - those two have something in common with each other that they do not share with Sam. (Hint: it’s romantic love.) This is especially notable considering the maroon color of Sam’s ball is also available in a striped ball in any given set. The cue stick between the white ball and the numbered balls indicating the divide separating TFW and good - God and his self-imposed restriction from meddling in human affairs - evil (8 ball) has no such restriction, while still being in opposition to or confrontation with the colored balls. So TFW is left to fight evil or Lucifer without assistance from God or Heaven.  Additionally, the lights above the table - notice how there is three framed together and one on the opposite side of the pillar? One off on its own. Anyone who has read my Jack Meta piece knows that this episode spent a good chunk of time painting Jack as ‘other’ in the context of TFW. I believe this also represents that, three lights (Dean, Cas, Sam) together and one, the same but separated (Jack). Dean, Pamela, and ‘drunk’ vamp are also framed together within that shot - further representing three together, as well as the three stools and the three beer taps. These don’t have the single lone figure off to the side, (though the stools might, there IS one on the other side of that post but honestly it’s not really a focal point in this shot) so I think it’s more about the unity of the three than it is about the isolation of one. There is a whole load of actual color meta that can be read from this, but I’m not going to go into that here.

Now, the benefit of hindsight here is that I can pat myself on the back for the stuff about Jack being framed as ‘other’, but the real treat is that now I can look back on this and go ‘Wait! the fucking pool cue is Jack too!’ - I’ve specced that the ultimate endgame move for the show will be to have Jack resurrected at full power and use those powers to defeat a weakened Chuck, possibly locking him away like Chuck had once done to Amara, but more likely just locking him the fuck out of our universe. Looking back at this, I think it’s plausible that however it’s done, Chuck is going to be cut off from the rest of our world by Jack, much like the cue ball is cut off from the others by the pool stick in the shot above. While this does slightly alter my original perception of the visual narrative in this shot, foreshadowing God being cut off from the rest of our world deliberately by Jack versus Chuck cutting himself off from our world and the boys’ fight against evil, one thing remains the same - it’s still TFW vs evil, unrestricted. I’m taking this to indicate that by the end, they’ll not have sealed off Hell completely, or permanently rid the world of monsters, but they will still be there to fight them, or (hopefully) advise and assist others who choose to do so, in a more supervisory capacity. Interestingly, now that we know Rowena sits on the throne as the Queen of Hell, given her own character journey it’s entirely possible that there is a further layer to the positioning of the balls in this shot. Evil, or in this case, the Queen of Hell herself, could very possibly be read to be... on the same side as TFW against Chuck, you could say, backing them, even... Now there’s an interesting thought. Well, time will tell, anyway.

Now, I know you’re saying, ‘But Coin, why the fuck are you rambling about a shot of balls from over a year ago, now? What’s this got to do with the Drowning video? Why are you posting two separate analyses in one night when you usually average about one post per year?’ WELL. I’ll tell you, since you’ve asked so nicely. It was another blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot from the Drowning promo video, but I would’ve shot up from my seat in triumph when I saw it, had my sciatica not been acting up. Behold, my validation:

What’s that you say? I’m insane you say? Well, you’re not wrong, but neither am I:

Look I spent like three days teaching myself to make gifs from blu-rays I haven’t figured out how to make the words I add to pictures shrink legibly when I resize for tumblr and I’m not gonna figure that shit out tonight, so just - it’s the fuckin balls again. The TFW balls are positioned with Dean and Cas together and Sam slightly off on his own, one space away from Dean. Maybe the orange solid ball between them is Eileen, GASP! maybe it’s Rowena because GINGER, maybe I just need to go to bed, but I’m NOT seeing things.

I’m just sayin’, man. The fuckin DeanCas balls wanna be together.The Sam ball wants to be slightly off on his own. Who is Sam even playing pool with he has no friends. I’m not going to sit here and suggest they set up like a trick table or something to get the balls to do what they wanted them to do - but, you know, as long as Jared hits it consistently they really only need a couple takes to realize placing all three of the relevant balls on the back line isn’t going to work because they will mostly scoot off on the break - leaving the Cas ball on the back line where it’s sitting sort of, say, on top of, or under, the Dean ball (ahem.) while still being visibly next to it, doesn’t hurt the metaphor/visual at all while also adding that layer about Cas going off on his own sometimes, which is something he, ya know, does. Sam’s ball not moving much could indicate that he intends on staying in the bunker or in the life, or it could very well just be where it ended up. This isn’t mean to be a conspiracy theory post and I really don’t want to dive any deeper into the possible machinations behind this shot - but I do want to point out that Sam’s initial rack is not how I learned how to rack, and contrary to what this post suggests I don’t actually spend a lot of time analyzing the pool tables in this show, so I don’t know if they normally follow any kind of method or if they just throw the balls in all willy-nilly every time. What I do know, is that this little blip in the promo made me think of the shot from Nihilism, and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Capricious Children

AUMichael mirror of Lucifer, Amara and the Empty (14x10 spoiler)

Good afternoon! This is my second meta from Nihilism 14x10.

If you want to read the first is here and the third part is the Destiel meta I will post it soon too.

I know this parallels had been discussed all over the fandom, but I just wanted to talk about them, because I saw an image from "Nihilism" that caught my attention too, it was focused two time during the episode...

... I will return to this at the end of this meta.

Looking for Chuck's attention

When I first heard Michael saying he will destroy every universe bc he wanted Chuck to appear in front of him... I said... Not that line again!

Because...

Ok.. Deja Vu with Amara destroying everything that breathe, and torturing Lucifer (Chuck's fav son) like... 😥

Not just that, remember Lucifer in season 12 when he was possesing Vince Vincente?

Gif credit @morningstarendeavors

He decided to "have fun" destroying and killing people bc "he could" and bc God had abandoned him again.

So AUMichael and Lucifer with their Dad issues, carrying with the absent father trauma and Amara trying to caught his brother attention, are all in the same bag.

But talking about absent father, this is directly related to Dean and Sam with John Winchester, their ISSUES with him, and it has to do with CAS too... That's why Dean could emphatically understand Cas...

Manipulating minds

Lucifer was always the big manipulator in the show, he uses facts and re order them to fulfill his desires...

Gif credit @heavnofhell

But the blantant parallel between Lucifer and AUMichael, was that time when both of them wanted to win Jack's confidence, and win a powerful ally.

Gif credit @kingofthecrxssroads

This is from 13x23 👆

And this is from 14x09 👇

Gif credit @kingofthecrxssroads

Everybody wants the nougat boy but he is already taken by his three beloved dad's. So... Thank you, but not thank you. You can take your offer and put it in the body part where the sun never shines.

AUMichael and the Empty likes to use facts that aren't really totally true to manipulate and break "bonds", in this case ROMANTIC BONDS and FAMILY BONDS, bc doing that, makes the person weak and manageable.

Mocking the weaknesses

I saw a lot of gif set making this funny parallel from our villains mocking our heroes in love.

Lucifer and Michael are so alike in their way to mocking, but the worst of all of them was the Empty.

Gif set credit @godshipsit

Bc The Empty knew exactly what was going on there between Castiel and his feelings for Dean, so he tried to use FACTS to manipulate him.

Lucifer is aware of it too when he took possession of Castiel, and he used it too just for fun and mocking, bc that's how Lucifer character profile is.

But AUMichael, AUMichael is frustrated with that information, bc he can't understand the depth of it, bc Dean has it very hidden and repressed. Then AUMichael knows something is there between Castiel and Dean, but can't reach it.

So he mocks what he can't totally understand.

Pics credit @hhoneycas

The Empty and AUMichael are the same for Castiel and Dean, they reflect their dark side, they confront them with themselves, their true feelings, repressed feelings, and this is why Castiel and Dean fight back both of them. To release them from their own emotional prisons.

Now... Is time for speculate...

Let's come back to the pic I put first in this meta...

You know about pool, isn't? Ok... But in this table that was shown two times in the episode, there's something interesting... Pay attention to the location of each ball, their colors and the team...

There's three balls in the same line, the two from the lef are from the same team, one green (HELAING!DEAN) and one blue (Castiel) they work together for the same team. But there's one in the right in color red (TOXIC!DEAN) he is from the other team. And they are facing one black, the black is the ball that defines the play, and it could be any villain here... The Empty? AUMichael?, Then divided by the pool cue there's a white one. The white is the ball that hit the others in the game. So I could say this could be God? Jack in a future? Could be Jack the new God?

But this also makes me think about a foreshadow for what is about to come... And what was written in that book that Billie delivered to Dean.

Ok, listen up, this are just speculations, but...

We know those books talks about Dean's death, so... Dean doing a big sacrifice to save the world again, shouldn't be a surprise, But what kind of sacrifice?

If they go with the Infinity War parallel, should be something that Dean was protecting with his life, bc is powerful... Could be Jack? Maybe Dean must kill Jack for some reason related to the AUs. IDK.

Second spec... What if the big sacrifice is the follow ...

Dean is the cage, isn't? Like the cage locked on Hell with our Michael... What if the big sacrifice is "carry with that time bomb inside of him and jump into the AU from where Michael came and let the bomb explode" yes, just him, Dean saying goodbye to his family and to Castiel and jump alone with Michael (helped by AUKaia, the dream walker) and letting Michael there with him. But... That ball blue with the green one and the red one (Profound Bond) facing Michael/Empty make me think, are they two going together to the AU? Maybe Castiel wouldn't let him alone? Maybe? Or are they two going into the Empty together and fight him? And God there too... Are God/Jack the answer? Are one of them save the day? We hope so!

I'm kinda f dizzy right now... But you get the idea... I think?

Thanks for reading!! Please share your opinions!
