Too Human (XBOX 360)

[soothfog]

jordy i'm pretty sure you invented magical realism. lee is a character that feels incredibly real but also sort of 'up in the clouds' at the same time, both easy and hard to grasp, if it makes any sense. i'm obsessed with the way you convey everything through your writing and how nothing you write is ever superfluous or redundant, everything helps shaping lee and the world around him and how he perceives it magnificently. it's like a painting! in short take my money

how am i doing with my character? /// (+ accepting!)

i've had this message open in its own tab and keep clicking back to it to answer and every time i am speechless. reoccurring psychic damage.

you already (hopefully) know how much i fawn over your writing (but i will/can happily, continuously, endlessly go on about this; easily and readily because your writing is so rich, there's so much that can be touched upon or delved into (do you see what i mean? your writing is so good that just discussing the existence of it leads to compliments)). it's highly inspiring and aspirational. it's amazing how detailed and handily you can write characters like metatron and the joker on the same account. equally as riveting. peeking into their headspace. but with a narrative voice tailored specifically to them. distinctive to them. yet packed just as full with delicious descriptions. i'm a big fan, to say the least, and a bit awestruck to write with you!

up in the clouds but real / easy and hard to grasp are exactly the sentiments i revolve around for lee, i'm so happy it feels that way.

this account (and i think it might be influenced by you) has quickly taken a turn into practicing/trying to add as much detail as i can—pockets of detail—to build an atmosphere and understanding without overdoing it. i'm usually not a longwinded writer. but i've been pushing myself on lee to write long replies. so, it's really really fantastic to hear that even though i'm somewhat artificially trying to write more it's not coming across that way?

anyway. thank... you... my undying love and devotion to you.

Sunrise (Dean/Cas coda to 15x19 “Inherit the Earth”, 1.7k)

(ao3 link)

Dean and Sam were free. Finally, unequivocally, free.

But this wasn't the happy ending Dean had expected. Maybe in the past, having Sam in the passenger seat tearing across an open stretch of highway as the sunsets, it'd be what he wanted. But that was years ago. He's not that man anymore. Dean's tired of sunsets, of saying goodbye. He yearns for a different ending. One that's less of an ending, and more of a beginning. A sunrise instead of a sunset.

Sam has his. Dean lost his. Despite this setback, he won't stop. He'll live in memory of his sunrise.

Except, what can he do when he feels those rays on his face again?

           Early morning sunlight streams through half-closed motel window blinds, striking Dean directly on his face. Stir him from unconsciousness, shuffling Dean out of his dreams. Warm blue and familiar stubble replaced with an ugly, orange patterned wallpaper that makes his stomach unhappily flip. Groaning, he turns. Hopes he can reclaim his quickly fading fantasy. It escapes his grasp, Dean left in the loneliness of reality.

           Truly. He checks Sam’s bed, finding it unoccupied. “Figures…”

           They crossed paths with Eileen coincidentally. Not like Sam’s pointed questions and giant thumbs hid his intentions. Even his terrible acting (“Eileen? What are the odds of you being here?”) couldn’t throw him off. Dean played along, however, letting them think he was in the dark. Knew exactly why his brother and his brother’s girlfriend hadn’t told Dean about this. Salt only hurts a wound that’s fresh and open. While badly healed, Dean’s grown numb to that missing chunk of his heart. More pained that his sadness made his loved ones go behind his back, act in guilt.

           Sam and Eileen don’t deserve shadows because of his pain.

           Which is why he’s happy for them. Left the bar so they can chat without his presence. Catch up, let Sam tell her about those kitschy tourist traps they’ve been hopping between since Chuck’s defeat. Show pictures of Dean in an upside-down house, Sam’s head peeking out from corn fields. Hold hands. Sit on the same side of the booth. Kiss, without worrying if Dean is steadily killing his liver at the bar because of them.

           Drinking lost its flavor anyhow.

           Free from Chuck’s influences, Dean decided he might cut a few more strings. Namely beer. He’ll enjoy a bottle every now and then but, reflecting on it, booze never offered comfort he really needed. Only aggravated a different sort of hurt, distracting him for a while. He abandoned those distractions. Instead of asking their bartender from last night, with his tanned skin and wavy, blond hair, for whiskey, neat, until he dropped, Dean stood from their table and paid his tab. Carried his longing out the exit, drove with it, laid down in his bed and held it close. Hugged it, imagining his arms. Praise whispered in his ear, about choosing a different way. A better way. A healthier way.

           Cas would be proud of him. Prouder than he already is. And Dean… felt the same.

           Rising, Dean stretches. Winces as a new disc pops and cracks in his back, “Motels ain’t what they used to be…” He throws his legs over the side, scrunching his toes in the shag carpet. Smiling, “But at least some things’ll never change…”

           It’s going to be a slow morning. Dean doubts Sam will swing by before noon, meaning he has hours to kill. First, he leisurely showers. Scrubs at his scalp with gentle scratches, humming Zeppelin under his breath. Keening ‘A Whole Lotta Love’s chorus, coming into his hand. Lets that melody fade while water makes his come sluice off his hand, into the drain. He switches tracks, dries himself while softly singing ‘Going to California’. Thinks about their next destination. All those beaches he and Sam plan on visiting. Finally making good on their promise.

           Not how he always envisioned it, but…

           Dean drapes the towel around his neck, staring at his reflection. Marks new wrinkles he hadn’t noticed, gray hairs where dirty blond were. Sees how small his eyebags shrank.

           Sleeping was surprisingly easy. Some days Dean wished it weren’t. Others, it’s his only chance at being with him again.

           “Nope,” he says, leaving the bathroom. Jumping out from the mirror. “Not going there… not this early…”

           He bides his time dressing, debating where he should get breakfast. Wonders if a diner they passed entering town might serve pie as he hops into his jeans. Waffles between a t-shirt or purple-and-blue plaid while rubbing deodorant on. Then, tugging his tee’s thin fabric over his head, he decides he isn’t that hungry. Can eat later, Sam driving so he can attack snacks he squirrelled away when they last stopped for gas.

           Knock Knock Knock

           “Sam?” Dean asks, glancing at the door. No one answers. “Sam is that you? You forget your keys or…” He checks his phone. Nothing.

           Knock Knock Knock

           “Sam, if that’s you – this isn’t funny.” He grabs for his socks, sitting on the end of his bed. “Pulling a poor joke on your brother, leaving your girlfriend alone in bed… shame on you.”

           Knock Knock Knock

           Dean squeezes his socks, glaring at the door. His irritation fades, weirdly, the longer he stares. Replaced with a different feeling, comforting. Without needing to, Dean guesses it’s not Sam on that other side. Tossing his socks, Dean stands and slowly inches forward. Drawn by gravity, a name perched atop his tongue. Waiting there, scared of being spoken. Of being wrong. He doesn’t feel wrong.

           Is this still a dream, he asks himself. Did I actually wake up? Dean waits, hovering near the doorknob. Remembers rushing last time, what waited there then. What he almost threw himself onto. Cycles through who might be waiting now. Something worse, a more terrifying monster. Or maybe mundane, like the motel manager. He’ll never know if he drags it out. Whether that’s motivation or warning, Dean can’t decide. What he does choose is flinging open that door and facing whoever was there.

           “Hello, Dean.”

           “Cas -?” Dean gasps, knees buckling. Laughing, he leans his weight on the door. Grins wide enough his cheeks must splinter, twin tracks of tears already spilled over. “Cas, is that…” He coughs, wiping at his mouth. “Is that really you?”

           Like nothing happened, Cas crosses the threshold. Dressed spectacularly… normal. Trench coat, suit jacket, and white button-down paired with his crooked blue tie. Dean’s hand drifts close but can’t touch. Not yet. “It is me,” he tells Dean, “you… probably have a lot of questions. About why I’m here, and – and what was said when the Empty…”

           Of course, there are questions. None were as important as Dean snatching Cas’s tie, dragging him into a heated embrace. “Later,” he promises, closing the door. Guiding Cas onto his bed. Falling, his angel’s body collapsing atop his. Weight proving further and further how real this is.

           He’s back!

           “I can’t believe…” Dean kisses along Cas’s neck, threading his fingers through hairs resting at his angel’s nape. Feeds a fire burning across his body, flames roaring with a desire for more. “Can’t believe I could be this lucky…”

           Cas chuckles, “Good things do happen, Dean.”

           “Never to us.” Pausing, Dean tears his eyes from the dip of Cas’s collarbone and to his face. “I searched, Cas. I did. Back when it was me, and Sam, and Jack, I did everything I could but I… there wasn’t any lore. Nothing about contacting the Empty, breaking through I – how?”

           Shifting, Cas rolls off Dean and onto his side. No sooner than it started, those flames eating at Dean’s insides tempered. Became a more manageable heat, containable. Dean tucked himself against Cas’s chest, hearing his heartbeat. Awed from that simple rhythm it gives. Lulls Dean with a gentle song. “Jack,” Cas explains. Rubs Dean’s shoulder, along where his handprint was. Teased the edges of his tee, part of his memorial tattoo revealed. Cas traces his palm outline. “In fixing Chuck’s mistakes, he… he mounted a rescue mission from Heaven.”

           “For you?”

           “For everyone.” Cas kisses Dean’s crown, continuing his story. Whispers it into his head. “All the angels. Jack rescued us all.”

           “Everyone?” Dean asks, “Meaning… Michael? Gabriel?”

           “Uriel, Balthazar, Anna, Hannah, Metatron – even Lucifer.”

           “What the hell?”

           “He was fixing what Chuck wasted. Saved Heaven,” he says, “Gave everyone a second chance, to do right by humanity. Be its guardians like we were supposed to be. And…” Cas lays his hand where it belongs, Dean shivering from contact. Wraps his arms tighter around his angel’s waist. “Jack offered me all my powers back, and then some. Said I could be his archangel… second-in-command, in all of Heaven.”

           Dean lifts his head, frowning. Studies Cas with a suspicious wrinkle creasing his brow. He deflates somewhat, disappointment rocking into him like heavy waves. Routine. Expected, since Cas was exactly where he wanted. But then, isn’t that answer enough? Dean asks regardless. “Did you take it?”

           “I thanked him for the offer,” Cas says, “however my place was elsewhere, here on Earth… with you.” His hand moves, cupping Dean’s cheek. Thumb brushes his lip. “And when our time comes, I’ll rejoin Heaven at your side.”

           Cas’s heartbeat makes sense, now. It never did that before.

           “We’ve got a long time before we croak, Cas,” Dean jokes, crawling higher up his bed. Enough that he can press their foreheads together. “You think you can handle it?”

           “I waited millennia to meet you, and then years just so I can hold you like this.” Cas closes the distance, capturing Dean’s lips. “I’m hoping our future is excruciatingly slow.”

           “Our future…” He relaxes, allowing a few more kisses before he starts again. “Y’know, I… I thought I’d never get to say that. Figured, after Jack took the reigns from Chuck, this was all we’d get and – and having everyone back was nice. But you weren’t there, and I hurt. When you died, I wanted to sit there and let myself waste away and join you. Except if I did, you’d be so angry and – that’s what’s been keeping me going. You loved me so much – and were pained whenever I was… I couldn’t do that to myself. Punishing myself wouldn’t be fair. So I thought about my future, how I can live it for those I loved. Be there… the person I’ve become, and not who I used to be. But now…”

           “Now you can be a little selfish,” Cas says. “We can be selfish.” He tickles Dean’s chin, hands roving across his body. “What should we do, for the first day of the rest of our lives?”

           Dean doesn’t dawdle. “I want to lay here,” he says, “Lay here the whole day, in your arms, telling you how much I love you.”

           “…I don’t see any problems with that.”

           Neither did Dean, which is why he suggested it. They fix themselves, first. Cas sheds most of his outer layers, leaving himself only in his boxers. Dean hurls his jeans off fast, jumping under the covers. Giddy as Cas joins him, both men facing each other. Hands joined above their sheets, Cas’s palm fitting perfectly.

           “Well?” Cas arches his brow, “How much do you love me?”

           Dean kisses him, ruining it by smiling too hard. “I love you too much, and not enough.”

Hi! Not trying to be difficult, but I saw that you like Rowena/Samwhich. I see a lot of fandom likes her - I personally can not get over her casual murdering if people (like service workers) from many season ago. know there's a similar dislike of Ketch for his murdering and am wondering what's up with the adoration? People liked her before the redemption arc so I'm wondering how much forgiveness she gets/got from people just because she was a 'badass' woman. Or the arc is what swayed you/people.

Hi there! I’ll start by saying that I’ve always liked Rowena because she’s a good character, not because she was a good person, you know? Like Metatron, she was an amazing villain. She was fun to root against, which is what you want in a good villain. But I’d venture to say that her redemption arc began even before we met her. Crowley had mentioned her twice before that, as a witch who taught him a few tricks, and wasn’t a good parental role model for him. And the show began redeeming her just a bit from even her first few appearances.

Sure, she didn’t start rescuing puppies and reading to coma patients in her spare time, but we did begin learning about her and her life. Not all the people she killed from the start were just casually murdered, you know? Her actual goal had been murdering the demons running the Raul’s Girls brothel scam. If she happened to kill a few of the girls herself, well then... at least her objective was met already.

And if that’s all your objecting to about her character, then I invite you to look at Crowley, who we know has casually killed all sorts of people, and yet... had a redemption arc from his first appearance on the show, too. I invite you to look honestly at Sam and Dean and all the people (yes, and monsters, but also innocents who died because of their doing), and tell me that makes them unforgivable and irredeemable, as well.

But the show has spent the last 5+ years actively writing her a redemption arc. Not a shoehorned “oh didn’t you hear, I’m a good guy now” literally attempting to handwave everything bad from the past by lampshading it with a “fake identical twin” story. Which... is what they’ve done with Ketch. At this point, after having been physically present in something like 33 episodes, and at least mentioned or on the phone helping Sam and Dean and Cas in several more, she officially has the longest, most consistent and persistent character growth and redemption arc in the history of Supernatural, other than Cas (if you even think of Cas as a character who needed “redemption” in the first place).

The first four episodes Ketch was in, we didn’t even see his face. He was set up as the Boogeyman of the BMoL, who even the agents we did see on screen as cold (they tortured SAM! and felt justified about it the entire time!) were scared of him. He was the Last Resort, he was the Executioner brought in to “solve problems” for them. Cold, calculated, efficient. And they set him as a spy on the Winchesters. He remained unrepentant through his brainwashing of Mary, assuring her she’d feel better once she had no pesky will of her own to resist the orders he set for her to kill, and genuinely drew pleasure from torturing and killing people and monsters. Even people who were supposedly his friends, even Mary he’d had what passes for a romantic encounter with. Then after his miraculous resurrection, we learned of his history with Rowena and how he GOT her charm in the first place-- implied that he tortured her to death and then witnessed her charm kick in and resurrect her.

And folks, that’s exactly the story of Rowena’s ENTIRE LIFE. Tortured for fun and then abandoned as disposable when they’d used her for what she could give them by people she’d sought protection and shelter from. She’d spent the last 300 years bargaining for her own life and safety by trading her body and her magic-- cast out by everyone from Crowley’s father to the Grand Coven to the Loughlin witches from 12.11, and EVEN BY SAM at the end of s10, when he had her literally chained to a table to force her to cast the spell to cure the Mark.

Then even after Ketch’s return, he’s remorselessly torturing and killing his way through a string of witches trying to find Rowena to make him another resurrection charm. When the Winchesters trap him, he lies and lies until he can’t keep it up any longer, and then we discover he’s actually now employed by Asmodeus, who’s ordered him to keep tabs on the Winchesters, in the episode where Asmo literally captures Cas, locks him in a cell, and then convinces Dean that Cas got away by impersonating his voice on the phone. Ketch... was part of all of this. Until he discovered Asmo’s secret power source and decided to disarm the demon... I don’t think Ketch brought Gabriel to them out of the goodness of his heart. He even told Dean that he saw a chance to escape retribution from Asmodeus in the AU, so he took it. It took him going to an alternate universe and fighting for the resistance forces there for us to even begin to think they could consider giving him a redemption arc. And he only had one on-screen appearance in s14, via a video call after sending the One Thing They Needed To Stop Michael via postal mail and having it delayed arriving to them as a result... but hey, at least he was trying to be helpful, right? >.>

They repeatedly lampshaded that he’s continued to do his Hired Gun thing, basically Supernatural Being murder for hire. He took a contract on Belphegor’s life, for example. So other than the fact he’s been occasionally helpful to TFW, and the fact he’s stopped actively trying to kill them, they haven’t actually written him any sort of redemption arc to speak of.

Unlike Rowena. We’ve delved into her history, heard in her own words why she became what she was when we first met her, and not only why she abandoned Crowley as a child but also seen her genuine grief and torment after his death-- after having lost any chance to ever try to seek his forgiveness or truly have a relationship with her son. And honestly, we have seen both Sam and Dean go to those sorts of lengths to get each other back, you know? Rowena’s actions in 13.19... are exactly the sorts of things we saw Sam doing in early s10... literally in the episode Rowena was introduced.

So I invite you to consider... if you forgive Sam for that or drinking demon blood or releasing Lucifer, if you forgive Dean for selling his own soul to save Sam or taking on the Mark of Cain and all that led to, if you forgive Cas for basically all of s6 or saying yes to Lucifer in s11... then... you should probably consider taking another look at the entirety of Rowena’s arc and see if you can’t see how they’ve written her the same redemption beats and more.

She’s helped the Winchesters, even when held against her will that first time, even when Sam demanded she kill the one person she’d ever let herself truly love in order to save Dean from the Mark. But since then she’s helped them of her own free will, gradually going from doing it as a quid pro quo to doing it because she was genuinely beginning to care about them going all the way back to 12.11. She ran afoul of Lucifer-- which experience still tortures and terrifies her to this day-- because of the Winchesters. And in return, Sam especially has grown to show her trust and care as well. He gave her the page from the spell book she wanted to protect herself and trusted she wouldn’t use that against him. Then we learned their fates were intertwined-- Sam destined to kill her. But instead, they mutually chose to try and save her. I mean... that’s been the foundation of her arc for the last 3 seasons. And to reject that character growth, you have to bend over backward and ignore the fact that in their lives, Sam and Dean and Cas have done just as terrible or worse. It’s only a wee bit hypocritical to dismiss her honest development into someone Sam and Dean both think of as at least Winchester-adjacent if not part of the extended family at this point. The story’s been working overtime to bring her to that point where she now actively CHOOSES to care for them, even at her own peril.

She literally did exactly what Dean did in 13.23, saying yes to Michael because he promised he would spare the people she cared about. She literally has sacrificed herself for them out of love. So... tell me, what would it take for you to get past what she was when we first met her? Because everyone in-story got past that years ago.

FAQ I've been asked about Gabriel's return

1: What's your theory on how he's alive?

Well, I'm an advocate of the Kali Blood Bond theory. In Hammer Of The Gods, Kali bound herself to Sam, Dean, and Gabriel to keep them from leaving her proximity. Thats why Gabriel sends Dean back in to get their blood. Once Gabriel "dies", Sam and Dean took Kali elsewhere, probably had her break their vials, but didn't really care what happened with Gabriel's since he was "dead".

Gabriel's blood probably carried a nice little dose of grace and that could have brought him back after a little bit recharging time.

2: Okay, but where's he been then?

Admittedly, I don't have a super solid answer because I watched the ep at like 1am and my meta brain isn't fully online. HOWEVER, I think Metatron found him in a weakened state, still hanging with Kali, wiped her out (sorry), and locked him up for later. I mean, I can't ignore that look he had in Meta Fiction where he was like a caged bird.

Metatron, after everything went to shit, probably lost Gabriel or traded him or thought he died in some apocalypse or another. Thats how Asmo got a hold of him and has been keeping him as some sort of trump card until this exact thing came along.

3: How do we even know its Gabriel or OUR Gabriel?

Let me stop ya Norse nerds right there. Yes, the sewn lips is a thing that happened to Loki. However, don't ya think that Asmo, prince of hell, might be able to tell if he's dealing with a pagan or an archangel? Honestly, I think the sewn lips was just either Metatron or Crowley having a giggle and also making him shut up via Norse mythology.

As for OUR Gabriel? I can't be certain, but don't ya think AU Michael would have been keeping tabs on his baby bro? I feel like if Gabriel was able to sneak off, Michael would have been right behind him. We still don't know how much of the AU lore matches with ours so we don't know if Gabriel stayed in heaven or didn't. Plus, I don't think AU Gabriel would have the same vessel.

4: Your theories are stupid. I mean, you don't even think Gabriel likes candy.

Well, fuck you we'll see who is right and, you're damn right I don't because its canon supported, bitches. *drops mic*

A GOOD EPISODE

best part was dean and cas talking about tombstone in the car and them talking to the sergeant ;u;

and athena lopez, i enjoyed her very much

i see a recurring theme of men being dicks to women in this season, except it’s framed like an obviously bad thing which is good. showing all sorts of unhealthy relationships, and then the contrast - team free will trying to do it right <3

hmmm i’d give this a 9.5/10? kudos to Davy Perez and Nine Lopez-Corrado. i mean, personal adoring feelings about dean and cas aside, it was a fun episode, y’know?

athena was cool as shit but really the only lady, no bechdel test pass. two dudes of colour down (sheriff, bank dude), two people of colour surviving (the sargent, and athena lopez). which is a slight improvement from zero ?

something is different about cas now. he seems calmer, and his face is more... smooth? unsure how to describe it. just different. the new tie and coat is working for him

i love all the characters so much i love squinty cas and deanie weenie and moose sammy and puppy jack ;u;

edit: i just saw someone on my dash say this episode was boring and !! that was something i wanted to say but then i couldn’t justify why i thought that so i took it out

Summary: A couple of eons in, and you’re current orders are to watch Metatron. Whilst the Darkness causes chaos and ruin, you’ve to keep you’re sights trained on an ex-angel that gets you into some action. Finally…

Masterlist

Eons Later…

The Winchesters sat in the bunker talking with Chuck, God himself, trying to make sense of everything. Finally, after the many years of watching the Winchester’s, God actually decided to make a move. Someone should’ve broke Amara out of her box a long time ago if you ask me, but that’s not my place to say. However, God could at least speed things up just a little bit and get on with the problem at hand, instead he decides on diddling about and I’m left sitting in a bar with Metatron.

He keeps going through the book God wrote earlier, drinking more and more. He’s overthinking everything, trying to figure it all out, but it just makes him more depressed and I can’t help but become slightly worried for him. It’s not long before the television in the bar grabs his attention and he’s away climbing the bar itself to get a better look. I just watch him, curious to his next move. He then sits on the bar, crossed legged and pulls out his phone. I can’t hear the conversation he has and curiosity always got the better of me, but I was unfortunate to reach him just as he ended the call.

“Come of the counter Metatron.” I say to him gently, to which he obliges and takes a seat at the counter. I watch him curiously and hesitate to take a seat by him. Nothing is said but him ordering two drinks and then passing me one.

“You shouldn’t let him get you down so much.”

“How long have you been by his side?” He questions me.

“I’ve been aware of his movements. I haven’t been by his side. I too, was left in heaven if you recall.”

“But you still knew where he was. If he kept in touch with you, surely he knew how much we needed him.”

“It’s God. I was given direct orders, I had to obey. If things were different, you know I would have said something, but… he’s God. Who does God listen to, apart from himself?” I finish the small drink in front of me and let the silence fall once again between us. It’s only a couple of hours later when Metatron speaks up.

“Uh, barkeep, dos margaritas! Top-shelf tequila please for my amigos. Their treat.”

I furrow my brows when I look up and find the bottle that sat in front of me was moved and a hand was gestured for me to move a seat. I look to see whose hand it was, to come face to Dean Winchester himself.

“All right. We’re here. Don’t try to pull any crap” I hear Sam from the other side of Metatron. Turning around to face him only to hiss.

“Metatron. What are you doing?”

“I’ve lost my grace. Look at me. I got nothing.” He replies, only causing me to fix him with a glare, as I now realised who he was on the phone to.

“Why did you call them here? Metatron.”

“I’ve noticed you’ve been in touch with Chuck. A.K.A you know who.”

“Yeah, yeah. Is this going anywhere? Yes, Chuck agreed to take on Amara.” Sam stated. I raised my eyes to Sam in shock.

“He said that? Used those words?” Metatron asked.

“Pretty much” Dean said, clearly fed up. Metatron looked up to Dean, then in an instant looked at me.

“Huh.” He faced down towards his drink, seeming emotionless.

“So what – he’s not confronting Amara?” Sam questioned.

“No…” I trailed off looking at Metatron trying to find more of an answer. I was being kept in the dark for most of this, which was suddenly strange. After years of keeping some sort of tabs on the Winchester’s, I had suddenly been tasked with other duties that kept me from knowing what they were up to.

“He’s gonna… meet with her. He’s just not gonna take her down. He’s gonna… sacrifice himself. Let her do whatever she wants with him.” Metatron finished. Sam smiled to himself.

“Do really expect us to buy this?” Sam said with confidence, looking between both me and Metatron. He was so sure of himself. I couldn’t help the glare. Metatron chuckled as if he knew it would come to this.

“No. Of course not.” He looked to me, asking for the paper. After a short while I pulled it out from inside my leather jacket and tossed it onto the bar. Both Sam and Dean looked at it confused “Ignore the typos, but read it. It’s in his own words. It’s not an autobiography. It’s a suicide note.” Metatron carried on. Sam now didn’t seem so sure and hesitated to look at what was written. Not too long after they had left. Probably to confront God, but how it would go down? We wouldn’t know until later.

I was lost in thought when Metatron suddenly got up and left the bar. Confused, it took me a while to realise that he had actually left the bar. Immediately I flew to his side. I couldn’t let him out of my sight. Orders. However, I wouldn’t complain, it had felt like I had been in nothing but bars for years. Silence was now a normality when around Metatron, but curiosity was always a bad habit of mine.

“What are you doing now?” I asked him. He didn’t reply, too focused on his phone. Rolling my eyes, I accepted the fact I would find out later, or now. I noticed we had walked in a circle, and it seemed he was continuing to do so.

“Metatron. What are you doing?” I said more firmly, but only lead to him stopping and looking at what looked like a door to sewers. Scrunching up my face I continued. “We are not. Going into the sewers. What could possibly be in there of importance!?” Then suddenly the door opened and Sam came out. He stood there looking at us, an unamused expression and beckoned us over. Metatron didn’t need to be told twice. “Metatron!” I yelled, as he ran in after Sam, shutting the door behind him. Throwing my hands up in the air and looking around the place seeing no one was around, I flew into the place standing not so far away from Metatron.

“Oh. Donatello! Pleasure to meet you. Metatron, Scribe of God.” Metatron introduced himself to the prophet.

“I’m pretty sure it is now, was. You don’t have grace remember.” I glared at him. Ignoring me, he continued on.

“I was there when you were designed. I wrote your name on the inside of the angel’s eyelids.” He smiled.

“He’s freaking me out” the prophet said.

“Get used to it.” I muttered

“Okay.” Dean said, shutting everyone up. “You said you wanted to help. Besides world-class douchery, what do you have to offer?” Dean looks at Metatron, with a quick side glance to me.

“Oh, nothing.” Metatron states as he takes a seat, but before he can say anything else I cut in.

“We can leave now?” but he just sends a quick glare to me and continues.

“I just transcribed the angel tablet and know all the spells. And I know what makes Amara tick. And I had a relationship with the big guy for eons. Shall I keep going?” he leaned over and grabbed a bear that was on the table, but before he could drink it Sam lunged forward taking it back claiming it as his.

“As much as I hate to admit it… he kind of has a point.” Sam stated looking at his brother with question.

“Ugh, Metatron always has some sort of point when he mentions his relationship with God. Doesn’t mean it’s a good one.” I state, taking steps closer to Metatron I pull his chair back so it’s leaning on the two back legs. “We’re leaving. Now.” I hiss.

“They need all the help they can get. Even douche help. Besides this is where it gets interesting for you.” He says. I let go of the chair letting it go back to its upright position with a loud thud, not saying anything more.

“When did you jump on God wagon? You never used to give a damn.” Dean asks after a bit, taking his focus back onto Metatron.

“Well, I didn’t… at one time. Now he’s gone all kamikaze, leaving us with the Darkness, I…” He paused, giving a sigh “I was beside his side since the creation. He believed in me. If there’s something I can do to help save him and his creation, then… it seems like I should.” He finished.

“Help save God…” I mumbled with distaste and a roll of my eyes. Only to have Metatron look at me with what seemed as defeat. My jaw started to clench, I refused to say the words I knew I would say but after a while I gave in. “Fine.” I grit out. “What’s the plan then?”

“The plan is to rescue Lucifer from Amara. Then he teleports us out of Amara’s hideout and we convince Chuck to use him to fight her.” Dean answers, causing me to laugh and Metatron to Scoff.

“That’s your plan? Do you even know where Amara is?” Metatron asks

“Finding Amara is the easy part. Convincing Chuck? Convince Lucifer.” I chuckled.

“Convincing Lucifer won’t be that hard.” Metatron said looking up to me with a knowing look, to which a scowled at nearly baring my teeth.

“I think I might know where Amara is. I’ve been getting this vibe. Uh, it’s like a ping in my cerebral cortex.” The prophet spoke up, seeming nervous. Poor sod, having to solve an idiot’s mess.

“Oh, so either Amara or a stroke.” Metatron mocked, to which I kicked his chair. “And how are we supposed to keep Amara busy while we’re… liberating Lucifer?”

Dean looked off to the side in a thinking manner, but also bobbed his head as if contemplating something. I furrowed my brows watching him closely. It was soon decided that he would go out to the woods and try to call out to Amara, whilst the rest of us would get Lucifer out. Great. I offered to fly us all there, but they didn’t want to risk the timing of us getting there before Amara had actually left. So here we are in the Impala, going to Amara’s secret little place.

We had pulled into some sort of abandoned work site, stopping outside one particular building. As Metatron, Donatello and Sam got out, they looked up to the building in what I would say was for dramatic effect, but I could sense a nervousness of Sam. I suppose his history with Lucifer would do that to him, but I got out and headed in pushing Metatron along with me.

“The quicker we’re in, the quicker we leave. C’mon.” I stated not waiting on any of them.

However, when entering I didn’t expect to see him tied up and sagging. He was brutally beaten. The further into the building and out of the light, his vessel was clearer to see. But it wasn’t his vessel I saw. Castiel. But I couldn’t feel Castiel’ grace. Seeing his vessel in this state brought back memories of long ago. A familiar feeling resurfaced. Anger. But not because of what Amara had done. I slowed my pace as Metatron ran down to start unbinding him.

“Oh, goody. Search and rescue?” Lucifer asked as Metatron approached, he then noticed Donatello and started talking to him. I ignored what was being said, I was too busy taking in everything. How much he had changed. It all started to hurt. Everything. He wasn’t the archangel I once knew so well. I was only brought back to what was happening when I heard him start to yell.

“You see what she’s done to me? Do I look like a fan!?”

“She puts your work to shame.” I spoke up quietly, but loud enough to be heard, earning a soft glare from him. Metatron keeps chanting. Lucifer glances to him, with a roll of his eyes he looks back to the three of us below.

“Did you grab this from the steno pool?” he shoots out.

“You understand you’ll be working with your father. Is that gonna be a problem?” Sam asks, with a groan Lucifer managed a reply.

“That’s family. This is bigger.”

“So you’ll table the old stuff?”

“What happens in Heaven stays in Heaven.” Lucifer says looking at me, causing me to blink a few times and look over to Metatron.

“Metatron, are we anywhere closer?” I ask.

“I’m – I’m – I’m narrowing it down.” He replies, continuing on with the chanting causing me to roll my eyes. He’s always so slow, but he keeps trying. Soon enough he hits the right one and Lucifer falls to the ground, the binds undoing themselves. I move closer as Sam asks Lucifer to zap us out of here.

“No can do.” He breathes out. Sam beginning to panic asks what he means, but then looks to me as if I can do it instead.

“There’s something… Something’s stopping me. We’re carrying him out, c’mon.” I stated. Just as Donatello spoke up.

“Guys, I’m – I’m feeling her! She’s coming!” Sam helps to throw Lucifer’s other arm over his shoulder as I take his right one.

“Alright, Metatron, come on.” Only now did I notice him hanging back.

“It’s okay Sam. You go.”

“What!?” I yell back. “C’mon Metatron, we don’t have time for this, move!”

“I’m serious. I got this.” He says determined. I move Lucifer’s arm off my shoulder and tell Sam to just go.

“Metatron. What are you doing? This is Amara. She’s too strong for Angels like us!” I hiss at him ready to grab him by his collar, but I see him painting a spell in his own blood, hearing the tyres screech away. “Metatron!” I grab him by his jacket. “She will kill the both of us if we don’t leave now!” I snarl.

“The secretary.” I hear Amara address Metatron. We were too late. I turn to face her, my eyes wide. I knew her power. She looks towards me, about to say something but Metatron slips out of my hold and activates the spell. A white blinding light hitting Amara, however, not lasting long. An unamused expression sat on her face.

“Idiot.” I mutter.

“You were kidding with that, weren’t you?” She asks, Metatron shakes his head.

“You. Fucking. Idiot.” I spit, glaring at him.

“He meant well. Spare the universe.” He said in a last plea, still completely ignoring me. Amara’s expression only grew angrier.

“Spare this.” She rose her arm towards Metatron. Knowing that only bad could come from her action I jumped off the podium away from Metatron. A black smoke swirled around him, crushing him, and soon devouring him. I watched in fear as Amara’s anger grew stronger. As soon as there was nothing left of Metatron she let her arm drop to her side and turned her glare towards me. I stood there, saying nothing. My chances of ending up like Metatron were very high, I had to be careful if there was any chance of getting out.

She took slow steady steps towards me, watching me closely, until she was right in front of me. But she wasn’t there long, before I knew it I was thrown back into the bunker’s kitchen. Where was Amara then? Before I could even think of leaving, God himself waked into the kitchen.

“Watch Metatron. Those were your orders.” He said. Not looking too pleased.

“And I followed those orders. I watched him. I followed him. Never once was he out of my sight.”

“But he is now.” God raised an eyebrow at me.

“He sacrificed himself, because of you! He tried to help!” I shot back. For a moment silence fell, and I thought maybe he was actually starting to listen, but instead he clicked his tongue and waved his hand as he went to pick up the case of beer.

“Well it’s done now. I suppose he won’t get in the way, definitely now.” And with that he left the room. Immediately I tore after him.

“That’s all you have to say!” I yelled after him. “He’s been lost for so long without you answering his prayers. Any of our prayers, and he still sacrificed himself. FOR YOU!” Anger coursed through me. We had entered the map-table room where Sam and Donatello stood at the other side of the room, with Lucifer leaning against the doorway. God sighed, and took a beer from the case.

“Occasionally, I do answer a prayer.” And opened the bottle. Lucifer moved from the doorway to a pillar, closer to us. He sighed and continued. “You’ve changed.” He said to Lucifer.

“You’ve changed.” Lucifer replied back.

“Well, still… I’m really pretty much the same.” God said, causing me scoff.

“Yeah. Still a big bag of dicks.” I said venom leaking into my words. God sighed, glancing at me, but then turned back to Lucifer and made a hand gesture of flicking a switch and healed Lucifer. Lucifer still didn’t look happy, a scowl still on his face as he stood taller. Just then Dean came in through the Bunker door and started his way down the stairs. As he reached the bottom, he looked between Lucifer and God, and could sense the tension.

“Right. Donatello. Let’s get you back, yeah? Great.” And immediately, Dean, Sam and Donatello left the bunker. Silence still filling the air, tension thick. After a while Lucifer had turned and headed into the Library, and I let out a breath I didn’t know that I was holding. Shaking my head I took a seat at the war table and started to spin my angel blade, as God stood there not knowing what to do or say, but then took a step to the front of me and went to say something, but I interrupted him before he could.

“Don’t… Just… “I sighed and looked towards the Library for a moment, before looking back to God and pointing my blade between him and the Library. “Talk to him first.”

spn meme at work

Stole this shamelessly from @helianthus21​ and @bend-me-shape-me tagged me.

1. What season did you start watching Supernatural? I wanted to watch it when it first came out in 2005 (or whenever) cause a lot of my friends on livejournal were watching it back then, but I didn’t have tv and internet tv streaming just... wasn’t here yet. Then, when it actually started to be a thing, the show was delving into the whole angels vs demons thing and that didn’t appeal to me at all. (Though, tbh, aliens don’t appeal to me either but X-Files is my forever ride or die show, so...) I finally got around to giving the show a shot in... 2014? I remember watching Tumblr freak out live as the angels fell and I started making my husband watch it with me on Netflix a couple weeks later. He got through 6 seasons before tapping out and I got to them going to Purgatory before my life imploded to the point that I had to take a nearly year long break from it. I binged the rest of the show at the beginning of this year.

2. Who was the first character you fell in love with? Dean. I knew he’d be my favorite back when I was watching the fandom form on livejournal so that wasn’t a surprise at all.

3. Who was a character that you hated at first but grew to love? Oh, I think I’ve hated all of them (including the brothers) at one point or another in the show, but I also love them all. Maybe Crowley? I can’t remember if I hated him though...

4. Which character would you most want to be in a long-term relationship with? Eh, none of them.

5. If you could go on a date with just one character, which one would you choose? Same as the answer above. Wait, no, I take that back. Abbadon. That would be awesome.

6. What would you do on that date? Well, when a girl likes a girl... lol I don’t know, whatever terrible thing she wanted tbh.

7. Which character would you most want to be like? Charlie was amazing. Lisa deserved so much better and was amazing. Sam is such a fucking optimist for all the shit he’s gone through.

8. Which character would you most want to see brought back from the dead? CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE!!! And Kevin and Eileen!!! And Alicia, because her death gave me a weird sort of bitterness.. she was such a fun character with so much potential behind her and without her Max is just a depressing character to me so yeah. <-- I’ll take this answer too. I’ll add John in for a temporary back from the dead thing for closure.

9. Which character would you most like to punch? Metatron. I didn’t care for his character at all. Lucifer could be erased from existence at this point and I’d clap and throw confetti too.

10. Who is your absolute favorite character? Dean and Cas. I love the female villains, but TPTB have no idea what to do with female villains so they’ve always been under utilized. And Benny, I lurve Benny.

11. Which “Big Bad” do you think was the worst? Lucifer can just go away now. I don’t care about him at all anymore. Metatron was boring.

12. Which character are you most like? Dean in a lot of ways. With some of Charlie’s sweetness and Abaddon’s bravado mask.

13. What death hit you the hardest? Charlie because it was just so dumb an unnecessary. Same to Eileen. And Kevin. Alicia with the above mentioned reason too. Bobby. <-- Keeping this answer too. I’d like them to give Mary some real growth too, since she was always the biggest bullshit death before they brought her back. Benny too.

14. What season finale hit you the hardest? Fuck if I can remember right now. Probably season 3 at the time.

15. What are your ten all-time favorite episodes? Oh hell. I don’t remember episode names for the most part, but: Mystery Spot because Gabriel/Groundhog’s Day; the one where Demon!Dean went after Sam with a hammer; the LARPing one; any of the episodes with Benny/Purgatory flashbacks; Gabriel’s first episode (I think that was this one) where they boys were describing the case from each other’s point of view or whatever... it was a great rendition of “Bad Blood” from The X-Files and made me nerd out; Cas’s fall episode where he was first dealing with being human and coping with it tore my fucking heart out and was awesome even though I know it’s wanky too; the episode where Metatron kidnapped Cas and Cas got to talk to Gabriel again too.

16. What’s been your favorite season? 8/9/10 that whole stretch is awesome for me.

17. Who is your favorite angel? Castiel  and Gabriel.

18. Who is your favorite demon? Abaddon and Crowley

19. Who’s your favorite evil character? Abaddon and Bela, though the latter was more grey than a truly evil character.

20. Do you have any Supernatural ships? Destiel, Saileen and I can get down with some Sabriel once in a while.

21. Who’s your favorite supporting actor? I loved Charlie and Abaddon and Chuck as God and Gabriel.

22. What’s your favorite quote from the show? Sam’s speech about feeling too unclean to ever go on a quest killed me. I know there are others, but my brain hasn’t held onto them.

23. If you could cast one famous actor in an episode of SPN, who would you choose? I’m down with the John Borrowman as the Impala idea, though I think I’d prefer it if she were played by a black woman instead of him. Or that they went for the fanon idea of the Impala appearing different to different people, so Borrowman for Castiel and someone like the actress who plays Maize on Lucifer for Dean and a Mary look a like for Sam.

24. If you could write your own episode, what kind of creatures would you like to see included? I’d love to see a creature that sends the boys back in time and they have to get help from Castiel in his female vessel that they showed from season 12.

25. Who’s your favorite girl that Dean’s hooked up with? Lisa or Cassie. He loved both of them and the boy deserves nice things.

26. Who’s your favorite girl that Sam’s hooked up with? Eileen (even if they didn’t actually hook up); Amelia; Sarah Blake and Ruby 2.0... even though it was an unhealthy hookup on the show, you could see their chemistry and she’s hot AF.

27. What are some of your favorite convention moments? I don’t really keep tabs on the conventions.

28. If you were going to guest star (or be a recurring guest star) on SPN, how would you want your character to be described? I’d play a villain all day long. I’d be happy with some kind of Dark!Charlie / Abbadon hybrid character.

29. What do you hope to see in the next season? To see Sam get to explore the shit he actually likes instead of what he thinks will redeem himself because of his guilt over the demon blood thing (which is not his fault). For Cas to find his place and his inner strength again. For Dean to accept and embrace the fact that he can have happy things. For Mary to choose where she wants to be and how she wants to be.

30. - 40. If you had to choose…

Bobby or John? Bobby

Bela or Ruby? Bela

Jess or Madison? Jess

Jo or Lisa? Shit. You can’t make me choose.

Charlie or Kevin? Charlie (I never connected well with Kevin, but that was probably due to the choppy nature of my first watch through cutting up his storyline.)

Balthazar or Ash? Balthazar

Cas or Crowley? Cas

Ben or Claire? Claire because she’s more of an actual character than Ben was. I loooooove Dean with Ben, but we never got to get to know Ben.

Jody or Donna? Oh fuck you, I won’t choose between these ladies either. lol

Sam or Dean? Dean, dammit.

Angel Drabble List (200th Celebration)

This is incredible! I’ve barely been writing three months and we’re already at 208! I know many people are celebrating their 500th or several thousand follow count but I am so thankful to all of you guys and I hope our community keeps growing.

So, For my 200th celebration I thought I'd do something new and create an angel drabble list where anyone can send me a prompt from below matched with any angel of your choosing and I'll write up a drabble about it.

All angels are welcome, Castiel, Gadreel, Gabriel, Lucifer, Samandriel... the list goes on. I think the only angels I won't write for are Metatron and Uriel (but I've never seen a fic for those). You can send in one or more prompts at a time, anonymous or not.

There aren't really any rules except: 1. I don't do ships; strictly reader inserts only. 2. And make sure you request is an ask, they're easier to track than messages.

Prompts: 1. Recently human 2. Loss of memory 3. Lack of angel "mojo" 4. Angel blade wound 5. Tipsy 6. Helping out on a basic hunt 7. Witch's curse 8. Shapeshifter Hunt 9. A Djinn creating a reality with the reader and angel. 10. A shapeshifter taking the angel's form 11. Helping out around the Bunker (for absolutely no other reason but to spend time with the reader) 12. Warding the reader in Enochian 13. Falling asleep from lack of grace for the first time 14. Angels take the reader as a bargaining tool against reader's angel 15. Bar fight over the reader 16. Valentine's Day 17. Impatiently waiting in line 18. Trying to take a selfie (likely a failed attempt) 19. Bickering over what movie to watch 20. The Winchesters trying to get the reader and angel together

There is no timestamp for requests so send them in whenever. This list could potentially grow, if it does I'll make another post.

This is also a tab on my blog titled Angel Drabble List, where I’ll cross off the drabbles I’ve completed, and also if anyone losses this post it’s always at the top of my blog.

Note: This does not close regular requests, as they are always open on my blog.

Thoughts on Our Little World

So I happen to be rewatching season 11 right now… I think 11x06 has my favorite character things for an episode that wasn’t one of my favorite episodes. Like there are just little things about it that I love.

Cas in the very beginning actually reminds me a little of endverse!Cas. Mostly it’s the way he looks, totally out of it and dirty. But in both episodes he’s also an addict, miserable, and trying to deal with some pretty bad sh*t by just ignoring it with a little help from man-made crap. And that “Oh, why would I leave? I've got everything I need right here.” And “man can’t live on caviar alone, Dean.” Were call-backs to endverse!Cas’s brand of logic-with-a-bit-of-a-bite and empty apothegms. Plus Dean’s responding “Well you sound weird, okay? Bad weird” cinched it for me. It just really brought me back, and boy was it depressing.

Although I have to also say, I love that it actually shows Cas having PTSD-like flashbacks; that’s kind of the closest we ever get to acknowledging how traumatized Cas really is.

I detest Metatron calling him a “wuss” and a “Nancy” because of it… but at least it’s A Thing™ I guess? And Cas does get to voice his disagreement—I mean, he gets to assert his view of it physically, if not verbally and that gave me goosebumps… in a good way or a bad way I never could figure out… but anyway that’s a tangent. I just love Cas, okay, I just love the fact that he’s in this episode at all I think…

Back to the little things!

This is also the ep where we get the “summer of love” with Crowley line from Sam—the gift that keeps on giving. Which was only prompted by Dean knowing Crowley so well it’s embarrassing. Not to mention that Dean is so extra about Crowley this episode: may I present as evidence Dean ready to kill Crowley over Cedar Rapids* and the just-the-wrong-side-of-weirdly-aggressive “A padlock you'd find on a middle-school locker.” And who could forget that chuck darn voicemail Dean played:

Hey, idiot, andale -- Spanish for "get your ass over here." You think I've been paying your astronomical bar tabs for the past five weeks so you can sleep past noon with last night's skank? Well, Dean?

I still laffin over this.

And that’s not even going into Crowley’s dramatic monologue about his bromance with Dean and recurring inability to kill him.

*I assume this is referring to the whole “Father” and “Scrumptious Alter-boy” thing in Form and Void, and I guess maybe there was an element of betrayal with the whole Amara thing too.

And then there’s sweet Sammy trying to save all the demon meatsuits and finally just being like… “alright, two out of three.”

I’ll be honest, this is an episode I pretty much forgot about because nothing happens—also it’s the ep with the weird teenage Amara stuff so maybe I actually repressed it (I’m actively ignoring that right now and it’s hard)—but it’s got some little sparkly gems I’m going to hoard, thank you very much.

[sammy2235]

I'd just add a few more instances of his forgiveness and believing the good in people.

In season 12, after the obvious BMOL hand wave of his torture, he was not only the one who listened to his mom rather than cutting off her like Dean, he never even thought to blame her for his ruined life, whereas Dean was there telling her he hates her. Then he welcomed, was actually apologetic to and thanked those two idiots who literally killed him and Dean in s5.

In S7 he was the only one who still believed in Cas after he'd been the biggest victim of his newfound villiany, we do all remember that Cas not only broke his mind but mercilessly mocked him about it. Yet there Sam was praying to Cas to let them help him.

S9 he became a meat shield to protect Gadreel from Dean, the angel who possessed him against his will and made him kill many people foremost of which was Kevin.

He came around to pretty much befriend Meg, another person who possessed him and made him kill people, and Sam's so guilty about her death he hallucinated her's during BMOL's mind torture. He also eventually reconciled with Crowley, the demon who ruthlessly killed Sarah and other many + helped Dean take MOC.

Heck Dean himself is one of his prominent abusers frankly and through all the bad and good, this is the only way Sam views him now "He's always had my back even when I disappointed him" "He saved me!" "I owe him everything!"

S11, he never blamed or even asked Chuck for the 'why', Dean and Metatron weren't that easily pacified were they? And while Lucifer is already mentioned, I'll mention him again because holyshit, Sam took his side against Chuck, Lucifers, because it was the right thing to do. Now if he can let Lucifer's shit slide, this guy can let anything slide, anything.

These features of Sam has come to bite him many times (Ruby, 1st Jack, Gorden, BMOL, most notably), but it's also helped (Cas, Gadreel, 2nd Jack, those 2 stupid hunters etc) and either way he isn't keeping tabs of it's pros and cons, this is just how Sam is and he's not going to change for Gabriel now.

Though, I won't deny that all the enthusiasm for Gabriel and Sabriel in fandom is annoying me too, and I don't think if he hadn't forgiven Gabriel he'd be doing the wrong thing because he has the complete right not to. But Sam's just so in character here, there's nothing that I could possibly complain about.

Why is everyone so cool with Gabriel being around Sam? Why would Sam forgive him? He tortured the poor guy killing Dean a million times and sticking them in TV land for shits and giggles. He's awful!!

I certainly agree that Gabriel was pretty shitty to Sam and Dean for quite some time, but let’s consider a couple things.

1) It’s been 8 years. We know from experience that Dean holds a grudge pretty damn hard. Sam can do the the same, but usually doesn’t. Sam forgives people and moves on most of the time. He’s willing to let people redeem themselves and go forward. That’s pretty part and parcel to his whole character, considering he thought of himself as unclean and cursed for a long time. But the Sam we have now is quite far removed from that. It’s important to his character, and something I love about him a lot. 

Gabriel has been out of the story for 8 years now. I think it does a huge disservice to Sam when the fans suggest that he shouldn’t do unto others as he did to himself. He forgave himself a lot, and we all supported that. Why shouldn’t he try to forgive other people, too?

2) Gabriel has PTSD out the ass. I’m assuming you saw the preview for 13.18, where we got another look at how badly Gabriel’s been literally tortured and violated for years. And no, I don’t think he deserved that. I don’t anyone deserves that. But I also don’t believe for a second that Gabriel is going to come back and be the shitheel that he was in season’s past. He can’t be.

So, Sam’s empathy is completely understandable to me. Gabriel’s been through a lot of punishment. What good would it do for Sam or Castiel or Dean to lay on more? He’s already broken. But he doesn’t need to stay that way. He shouldn’t.

Frankly, all these people bitching about Sam doing the wrong thing forgiving the former toxicity from eight years ago, doesn’t understand Sam Winchester in the least. Human beings forgive each other. Yes, there are some things that should never be forgiven, but remember: the world that Supernatural takes place in has literal world-ending plots. Sam and Dean have almost caused it more than once. They’ve done things that no one in our reality would forgive. Like, remember that time that Dean (while under the influence of the Mark of Cain, granted) shot and killed a kid? And yet, we still think he’s a good guy.

Sam having empathy and trying to help someone who has literally been driven out of his mind by torture is completely realistic. It’s what I love so much about Sam Winchester.

I think he’s doing the right thing.

[mittensmorgul]

So going through s9 and came across Meta Fiction today. Was 15.05 Lilith basically the same as 9.18 Gabriel? I think the biggest red flag for me was when she mentioned the bunker. OG!Lilith wouldn’t have had any clue about the bunker, but Chuck does. Same with how Gabe was up to speed with the current angel issues b/c of Metatron. But Metatron didn’t know about Cas’ coat being torn and so the gig was up when Cas noticed it was fixed.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I think she was. Like meta!Gabriel, who was able to joke about the “continuity error,” I think this was essentially meta!Lilith, able to comment on Chuck’s writing.

I’ve been thinking about Metatron’s entire s9 “quest to become the new god via writing the story” arc as the dress rehearsal for s15. I think understanding how Metatron hijacked the angel tablet to craft his own narrative, directly based on Chuck’s Supernatural books and what Metatron himself knew of Chuck’s creation having been the scribe who recorded the tablets in the first place, gives a LOT of insight into exactly how Chuck’s “writing” affects reality.

I mean, Metatron could’ve just “written a win” for himself, instead of going through so many convoluted processes that met with varying degrees of success, and then ultimately failed because Cas found his source of power (the angel tablet) and tricked him into broadcasting his true plan and intent over angel radio. Metatron’s own words trapped him. If Metatron was effectively doing exactly what Chuck did, then his control over everything definitely has limits, you know?

But like Metatron trying to keep tabs on Castiel in s9, Chuck can’t “see” the Winchesters’ lives anymore. But he can send in “spies,” if he writes them well enough. But like Gabriel’s continuity error, Lilith encountered a “glitch” as well, possibly when confronted with Dean’s resistance to Chuck’s “plot” that he’d outlined for her. He was supposed to be seduced! Barring that, he was supposed to be tempted to take one of Lilith’s sleeping pills from the hospital! Because Dean would do that, right? He was supposed to admit how tired he was of having to make his own choices, how exhausted he was with his life, but no, he reaffirmed that his free will is the most important, and he LIKES hunting!

None of Chuck’s plots actually worked out! And then the bit of “foreshadowing” Chuck wrote for Sam and Dean to eventually kill one another didn’t pan out right, and the script completely glitched.

But mission accomplished, the gun Chuck was so terrified of, because he truly feared that one of the Winchesters would choose to use it against HIM, and he wouldn’t see them coming if they did, is off the table now.

Now the only real weapons against Chuck are Amara (and she wouldn’t hurt Chuck that way, because she knows killing him would also kill her, because of what they are), Billie, possibly the Shadow, and Jack.

And Billie has her rules. The Shadow has rules, too. But Jack? Jack was like the gun. Give him reason, and he could probably end Chuck...

But yeah, definitely I think 9.18 (and all the Metatron episodes, honestly) are pretty key to Chuck’s process here. Which is why I’m kinda surprised we haven’t seen a return of Metatron yet. Honestly I’m halfway expecting it...

Latest story from https://movietvtechgeeks.com/things-get-real-serious-supernatural-british-invasion/

Things get real serious with 'Supernatural' British Invasion

What happens when "Supernatural" writers put Hogwarts and Hunger Games together? You get Kendricks of course. Evil McGonnagal’s School for Occult Lore. Where young kids study the occult complete with robes and have to kill each other to graduate. Plus, Lucifer turns Cujo on Crowley, Mr. Ketch thinks that there’s something about Mary and the baby is burning Rosemary. Okay, let’s quit getting weird. But this is Supernatural. Filled with pop culture references Captain America might not get. What we have here is another great episode since Stuck in the Middle. We’re going to do a recap which means SPOILERS. Just skip to the last paragraph if you haven’t seen this episode yet. We advise that you do, then again, please read on as we do this for a living. The episode opens up to a flashback at Kendricks Academy for the occult and psychopathy. Two friends Tim and Mick are called in by evil McGonnagal, Dr. Hess for an unknown reason. The boys are supposed to graduate to another level but before they do, they must kill each other because they must follow any order without question. She leaves them in a room with one knife. Moments later, Mick comes out of the room bloody holding the knife. Mick then wakes up in the BMOL base. Pretty strange considering back in the 1930s, the Men of Letters American chapter only held some sort of ritual to recognize their initiates. That is until Abaddon wiped them out. We then see Sam communicating with the deaf hunter Eileen who we last saw in that Banshee episode. Through her, they get a lead on Kelly Kline. Finally, we’ll see some progress with her, her baby, Daigon and of course Lucifer. The boys get home to the bunker where they see Mick who crashed in. Mick tells them about a cosmic shockwave that happened months ago which was actually the conception of a Nephilim as explained to him by the brothers. Mick tells them that they should have killed Kelly then and there as per the Men of Letters Code against the Supernatural as well as the consequences of having a Nephilim running around. Last we saw a Nephilim, she wasn’t much of a threat as she lived peacefully with humans until Cas and Metatron easily ended her. Speaking of Cas, our previous speculation about him getting involved in the previous episode Ladies Drink Free was false. Well, considering it involved his vessel’s daughter. It was strange not having him there, but we’ll get to that. As for Kelly, the next scene shows us Lucifer, trapped in hell calling on to Daigon, meaning he’s been on a line with Daigon keeping tabs on his child. The next scene shows us another of Mick’s flashbacks. He reported to Hess that Tim fought bravely but he actually just took the knife and killed him. He wakes up to a call from Dr. Hess. Hess tells him that there’s a change of plan and that she also knows about the Nephilim problem. Since Mick didn’t report in his findings the previous night, which resulted in the call, it might be a plot hole or the BMOL is just that good with intelligence. Mick’s given an ultimatum that if Sam and Dean don’t get in line, Mr. Ketch will do the honors. Assimilate or Eliminate. And Mick was getting so close. For these past two episodes, Adam Fergus has played Mick out to be a real tortured human being instead of some stuck up suit sent by the BMOL to supervise Mr. Ketch. We see Mick as a conflicted individual trained to be all business. He’s always away from the action until the events of The Raid where he gets first-hand experience of an attack by the Supernatural and seeing the Winchesters at work. He finds out that the situations involving monsters aren’t always black and white in the events of Ladies Drink Free and that he’s found real friends in Sam and Dean, sort of. Unfortunately, hanging around the Winchesters isn’t always a good idea. The episode moves on to Kelly struggling with cramps because of the baby. She convinces Daigon to let her see a doctor to make sure the baby is okay. Wouldn’t want to fail Lucifer.  Kelly and Daigon go and see a doctor who gives Kelly a sonogram. The doctor sees something interesting but Daigon mind-controls him to say everything’s fine.  A demon later goes to kill the doctor and erases his records of Kelly. We then get to see Dean, drunk and sleeping after a drinking session with Mick. This is the hilarious scene in their promo where Dean actually gets beat in drinking. Mick gives them a snippet of his lie before the BMOL that he’s actually a sympathetic orphan who lived in the streets until the BMOL took him in.  Mick then asks for vodka and Dean has just had it. We then go Lucifer and Crowley. Crowley turns Lucifer into his dog as was done to him when he took over hell. Lucifer obliges and says he swears his loyalty to Crowley. To make things more official, Crowley gathers his demons and lets Lucifer announce the rightful King of Hell. It’s another hilarious scene as Lucifer faces the demons and tells them that the rightful king of hell is Crowley but silently mouthing ‘me’ and threatens severe agony on those who do not support the rightful king. Crowley is satisfied but oblivious to what Lucifer was doing.  Mark Pellegrino is just perfect as Lucifer. We temporarily go to see Ketch and Mary in a hotel room. Mary asks Ketch his relationship with Mick. Ketch tells her that he and Mick were more survivors than friends which reflects what happened in Mick’s past. Obviously, Ketch is more on the dark side than Mick. They talk a bit and Ketch offers her a drink and things sometimes happen after that. The scene shifts to Mick in his base where he’s met by a guy named Renny Rawlings, top of his class and Hess’ assistant.  He tells Mick that he’s there to keep an eye on him. We shift to the bunker where Dean is trying to contact Castiel due to the lead on Daigon. All he gets is Cas’ voicemail. ‘Make your voice, a mail’ he says. Castiel’s character seems a bit inconsistent as he remains detached or unknowing of many of the things we currently take for granted. Can’t enumerate the previous times he missed out on some references despite Metatron dosing him with all the idiomatic expressions, references and modern information. Maybe he just missed telling Cas what voicemail is. But strangely, something may be up with Castiel which could explain his non-involvement in the previous episode. Sam is talking to Eileen about how she managed to track Daigon. She managed to singlehandedly kill a demon with an angel blade which is quite a feat for lone hunters. That was the demon that killed the doctor who checked on Kelly. Eileen managed to get Kelly’s phone number. Kelly tells Daigon to go shopping for the doctor’s prescription. She then gets a call from Sam pretending to be the doctor’s assistant and gets Kelly to go out alone. Sam and Eileen meet with Mick and Rawlings where Mick gives Sam the Colt in order to kill Daigon. Dean intercepts Kelly on her way to the doctor and takes her to the group where they, of course, discuss the morality of murdering Kelly and her child. Both Mick and Rawlings want Kelly killed, but Daigon suddenly arrives and tosses them around. Eileen manages to get the Colt and shoots Daigon. Daigon’s image turns out to be an illusion, and Eileen kills Rawlings instead. Because of their code, Mick points his gun to Eileen intending to kill her, but the boys stop him. Mick recalls Tim begging for his life as he points his gun at Eileen. Mick decides not to kill her to atone for his old sin. We go back to Ketch and Mary who apparently hit the sack. Mary tries to get some meaning or sentiment from Ketch about what happened, but Ketch tried to remain stoic. He tries to make Mary choose again between her sons and hunting, but Mary insists on both as opposed to what the BMOL are used to. It’s always one or the other and Ketch seems to envy her. At closing, we go back to Lucifer discussing his vessel with one of Crowley’s demons. He tries to get the demon to disarm the vessel’s ‘security system, ’ but Crowley killed the demon who created it as a precaution. He tells the demon to do whatever he can and soon before his child arrives. Back at the bunker, Eileen remains shaken about what happened, ut Sam tells her it was an honest mistake. Kelly gets handcuffed to the bed by Daigon and tells her the truth about her ultimate fate when the child arrives. Like an unworthy vessel, Kelly’s body starts showing some deterioration. At BMOL HQ, Mick is met by Ketch and by Dr. Hess who berates him for allowing Daigon and Kelly escape, about Rawling’s death and letting Eileen live. She tells Mick to have Eileen hunted and killed as per their code. She tells him that the Winchesters will be investigated and executed if found guilty. Mick gets cynical with Hess and tells her his sentiments about the Winchesters and about Tim and that from then on he will be doing the right thing. Doing the right thing is never easy especially when you’re shot in the head by Ketch. Hess tells Ketch to start eliminating all American hunters so they can start from scratch in eliminating all monsters in America. Guess Elieen would be the first to go, which would be just a shame. Then what about Claire, Jodi, Donna, those two guys from Chitters? In the second to last scene, the boys talk about Cas going missing. But out of their latest incident, the boys finally get the Colt back after going missing for so long. Too bad we have to say goodbye to Harry Potter too soon. Poor Mick, we barely knew ye. He’s actually a pleasant fellow as we first saw in the second episode. Wonder how Ketch will feel if he has to do it to Mary? Ketch seems to have common sentiments with Mick as he obviously did the same thing in the past. When the list comes down to her, will he let Mary go? As for Cas, what could he be up to? Has something happened? Could the BMOL have gotten to him as well or is he getting himself into trouble again making ‘arrangements’ to get things done? It’s a pretty good episode as it gets the season’s overall arc going and gives us a few funny highlights. Some fans might not like getting Mary hooked up with Ketch but something interesting needs to get done for her and that may be key to beating the formidable Mr. Ketch in the future. Things should hit the fan soon enough but strangely, we’ll get an MOTW episode after this about an earthly deity and the colt will be put through its paces once again. "Supernatural's" Jared Padalecki, Adam Fergus and Jensen Ackles created a slightly different version of a scene from British Invasion for a lighter look. In this one, (which you can see above) Sam talks Mick out of shooting Eileen in a rather urgent scene before the Brothers Winchester drive her back to safety. In this new version, Jared and Fergus (Mick) draw the action way out forcing Ackles to slowly maneuver Baby out of the scene. Check out next week's "Supernatural" trailer for 1218 The Memory Remains.

Greetings and salutations, how art thee?

I have a question, if I may; Do you know why I'm being followed by @the-archangel-squad and @the-metatron???

I'm a minor (and occult) diety from a completely different religion. Why should they take interest in me? If you have any idea I would love to hear back.

Thankyou for your time, Aries/Ari - Child of Pluto, and official G.I.T

‘Ello, ello, ello!

Greetings to you as well Ari. I am doing very well down here on earth! It’s a wonderful place, isn’t it?

I cannot say why @the-archangel-squad and @the-metatron is following you. Do you happen to know any of them? I know them and I don’t like them. The only one that I talk to is Mr. Fell, um I mean, Supreme Archangel Aziraphale. He is my direct supervisor. I’m a 37th class Scrivener and Heavens Ambassador to Earth.

I just recently met @murrmielmur and they are training to become an angel. I know they very much like @archangelcrowliel and they work for or take care of Sandalphon. I don’t like Sandalphon. He’s spooky!

I haven’t seen or talked to The Metatron since he left earth. I don’t like him either. He called me dim. I’m not dim. Mr Fell trusts me to make smart decisions about his bookshop.

Mr. Crowley doesn’t think I’m dim either. I know since Mr. Fell has been gone, Mr. Crowley has stayed close by, in case I need help. I can feel him, just like I can feel all angels when they are near. (Don’t tell Mr. Crowley I called him an angel, but he wasn’t always a demon and I can feel his goodness.)

I do know @amagnificentobsession she is @the-metatron wife. “It’s a long complicated story between those two” at least that’s what she tells me when we talk at brunch. Maybe you can come to brunch one day with me and meet her. She’s nothing like her husband. (She’s actually in love with Nanny Ashtoreth @dream-of-pain )

I had to look up minor because I wasn’t sure if you were someone looking for precious items in the ground (miner) or someone not considered an adult (minor). It’s always wonderful to use my dictionaries!

I’m not a minor (I’m hundreds or thousands of years old, I’m really not sure) and I’m not occult. I’m ethereal. Mr. Fell says angels are ethereal.

I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help, but perhaps Murrmiel can help or even Archangel Crowliel.

@docdust is also a huge help to me when I can’t figure something out. They are a snake oil salesman, whatever that is.

Good luck in your search @aries-is-a-god
