This is late for Father's Day but

God and his archangels :)

You gotta appreciate Supernatural for going above and beyond to let the audience know that Cas was Dean's

Sam: “I just want to hear those three little words.”

Gabriel: “I love you.”

Sam: “You are so cute, but try again.”

Gabriel: “I will behave.”

"Who's the tall one now, Samalam?"

It's not that I think Gabe would've been a "good influence" to Jack but I do think that he would have been better adjusted and had less self esteem issues if at least one of his parental figures wasn't modeling the self destructive noble hero complex like his life depended on it. Like my guy would've been a lot less hung up on accidentally hurting or killing someone one or two times if Gabriel "murder is ok as long as it's funny or personally benefits me" supernatural had been there to put an arm around him about it 💖.

Cas doesn’t trust any animals that Gabriel was allowed to make or add to.

His reasoning? He doesn’t need one, there is no doubt in his mind that Gabriel’s brotherly torment will follow him around earth.

Thing is no one believes him, I mean why would they? So when they take him to the zoo they don’t really consider his concerns as, well, concerns.

“I don’t think an anteater can glare at you, I’m sure it’s just hungry.”

“Cas the porcupine wasn’t aiming for you.”

“I’m sure the platypus normally purrs and follows people as they walk past the enclosure.”

“I don’t think a parrot shouting feather brain at you repeatedly means anything, people probably call it that all the time.”

This kept happening until a giraffe straight up licks Cas’ head and not even Dean can give a reasonable explanation because it is odd that all the animals that Gabriel is constantly bragging about are terrorising Cas specifically.

Safe to say that Cas refuses to go to the zoo again and Gabriel finds it absolutely hilarious because he really didn’t have anything to do with it, and it’s probably just the fact Cas is an Angel, but obviously as a trickster he’s gonna take full credit for it.

I just wanted to make something chaotic, nothing more.

[420technoblazeit]

in my mind dean was always supposed to get older and become the new bobby. like ok you're a hunter, maybe a little new to the scene and still figuring things out. and you're tracking down a werewolf, easy case. except some things don't line up quite right and now you're thinking it might not actually be a werewolf. so you ask around a hunter's bar and they all say the same thing. go to this one bunker in the middle of nowhere in kansas

and you're like sure what the hell. you're stumped anyway, might as well check it out. maybe it's a weapons storehouse or something. but then you get there and there's a doorbell and a bee-shaped welcome mat out front and you're starting to think you've got the wrong place. the door swings open and there's this middle aged guy with a robe and batman pyjama bottoms. and he laughs at the look on your face and tells you to come in, he doesn't bite. not since he got that vampire cure, anyway. you're not sure what to make of that last part but he winks at you when he says it so you figure he's joking. maybe.

he gives great advice about hunting everything under the sun and if you stick around long enough he'll go on and on about how he saved the world at least five times. ok sure. you don't want to be rude so you just sit there and sip your coffee politely while he talks about some guy called chuck and how much of a bitch he is. and another guy who's aged a little more gracefully comes padding down the hallway in a metallica t-shirt and rolls his eyes. has he told you about tvland yet? ('i was just getting to that part!')

if you go to the basement you'll find shotguns filled with salt, wooden stakes, holy water, and demon-killing bullets for sale. and if you're lucky the witch who sells hex bags might be around. low-grade curses only, of course. you better leave the powerful stuff to the professionals. and she'll get in trouble if she gives you anything stronger, not that she can't be persuaded. a girl's gotta make a living after all and she's always encouraged eager new witches. it's worked out pretty well for her so far. and then a guy you swear is twice your height will raise an eyebrow at her and insist she only sell the weaker hex bags, please. you don't need any more witches in your coven, rowena. you've got plenty

pagan god giving you trouble? there's a man who swings by every once in a while who knows how to deal with those. give him some candy or a fun magic relic and he might help you out. it depends. he's a little picky about dishing out advice and he likes to play favorites. and if you've got a demon problem they can give you the number of a guy who swears up and down that he used to be the king of hell. but you've seen him walking around with a purse-sized terrier tucked under his arm and a dozen more following him so you're not really sure if you believe him

idk i like to think that dean got to grow old and retire. that doesn't mean he stops helping people, it just means he hangs up his coat and becomes an old man who rambles on and on about 'back in my day' and makes a dent in his leather armchair. there's a foosball table where the dungeon used to be and sam complains about beer bottles being everywhere and it becomes a safe haven for anyone still fighting the good fight. it's just that for dean and the rest of team free will the fight is over. they're done hunting now

[coy-lee]

I... Have been intimidated by the prospect of creating such a piece for YEARS... But the time has come.

So, I made what I always wanted most come true X3.

This has been years coming so I'm honestly a bit anxious.

ANYWAY YEET!

[moonymercutio]

sam and dean totally have performed the "sisters" dance (wallace and davis version) from white christmas... to the disdain of cas and gabriel. it's a yearly tradition they started as kids when John was on a hunt around the holidays and they got a little too bored.

[woundlingus]

Bitter that immediately post unfinished business they reduce Gabriel to comic relief that was never even his character he just happened to be funny while doing some of the craziest abhorrent plot deepening shit in the whole show

[supernaturalfreewill]

You stared at Gabriel and then looked down at the still smoking demon husk at his feet. He was still gripping the angel blade tightly and tilted his head as he looked at you. “Are—aaaaare you okay?”

You shook your head, eyes wide. “No! Not really!”

He nodded. “I know. I know. This is a lot to take in.”

“YOU THINK?!” you blurted out. “There’s a—there’s a corpse on my floor!”

Gabriel shrugged and stowed the angel blade again. “Well, demon vessel, but yes.”

“I can’t handle this. You’re an archangel and your my—I mean you’re saying that you’re my guardian? No, this can’t be right.”

He gave you a sympathetic look and his golden eyes followed your pacing. “I’m afraid it is. But, hey, I swear I’m not so bad when you get to know me. And I always carry sweets.” He produced a chocolate bar from his pocket. “Snickers?”

 You stared at him, frozen. “I can’t—I want everything to go back to normal!”

He sighed, his expression growing more serious and softening. “There never was a normal. This is how it’s always been. You just didn’t realize it. You’ve been marked your entire life.”

You stared, incredulous. “Is that supposed to make me feel better?!”

He scratched at the back of his head nervously. “No. But maybe this will—I swear on my grace, that I will not let anything bad happen to you...” Prompt: “I want everything to go back to normal!” / “There never was a normal. This is how it’s always been. You just didn’t realize it.” Happy Supporting Character Saturday!

idk if this really fits but ehh

[ellastarkwinchester3000]

Loki: “I’m the real Gabe!”

Gabriel: “No, I’m the real Gabe!”

Dean: “Who do we shoot?”

Sam: “There’s only one way to find out.”

Dean: *nods*

Sam: “How do you spell bananas?”

Loki: “B-A-N-A-N-A-S!”

Sam, shooting Loki: “Wrong answer.”

Dean, looking at Sam in disbelief: “Woah! THAT IS HOW YOU SPELL BANANAS!”

Sam: “Yeah, but Gabe sings the song.”

Gabriel, singing: “It’s bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!”

Returning after *checks watch* 8 months to post, of all things, fucking supernatural fanart

Blame @maxiewinchester, they got me hooked

[nobodymitskigabriel]

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.
