Thinking about hands as a symbol of humanity and how some of the earliest art pieces in history are handprints on stone walls. Castiel rebuilding Dean was an act of angelic creation, but leaving a handprint on him was a human one. It was art and it changed him irreversibly
it’s so surreal to me that supernatural went on for so long that the final arc of the show was literally the main characters screaming and begging and fighting for freedom and rest from a controlling and obsessive author/god who had been writing their lives up until that point, who simply would not let them die. it went on for so long that it went from being a show where the two leads used phones with antennae and made references to myspace, to being a show where they literally referenced the “sir, this is a wendy’s” meme and dean said “galaxy brained”. it went from being a dark and gritty show shot on film to being a show shot on digital where the saturation was so bright that it looked like a sitcom even at night. after 15 seasons, all the fear and grittiness and tension had been sucked out of the narrative. it devolved from a story about choosing free will over destiny into a story about whether or not having free will is even possible after you’ve discovered that god has personally controlled your whole life. the transformation from “classic kripke era” supernatural into “network controlled never-ending” supernatural was literally played out in the storyline of the show itself. it’s unbelievable.
a thousand times worse.
this is another edit i made 3 years ago that has just been sitting in the drafts. i must’ve been at peak brainrot to make this connection idk
castiel is a show-off in lazarus rising w his wings and the wind and making the lights explode to give off the impression of power but you hand him a weapon and say ok time to engage in battle he goes can i sit this one out. voted most gay boy walking the mile in PE angel in the garrison 2 millennia in a row

i know we talk about this episode all the time because it really does foreshadow the end in a horrifying way but i am just feeling so sick about the fact that we see this before chuck writes his first ending:
and then we see this after he rewrites it to be even worse:
like how is this not just a blatant call to attention of network meddling
