cas deserved to be in the fan fiction episode and meet teenage lesbian destiel. also dean deserved more time to gossip with kristen!cas
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
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.
diner talks and hidden wars
started off as a study of a screencap from 14.14 and then turned into something else. anyway!!!
ok yeah the way castiel was powered down throughout the show was done lazily and inconsistently but despite that it’s so important. Cas puts so much of his self worth in his abilities and what he can do for other people that its hard for him to see himself as anything other than a tool to be used. Its a role that's been ingrained in him his entire life, and he should be allowed to not be that anymore. When Cas felt his powers were failing and letting everyone down, he needed to hear dean say that he's his best friend and he wants him around, and know that its just for who he is.
I love powered up cas and I would love for jack to bring him back with his grace fully restored because it's important to him! but he needs to go through this to see his own value outside of his powers
‘Hello Dean’
season 4 dean is like “i’m fighting demons” and the whole time the demons are just bisexuality. meanwhile season 4 sam is like “i’m fighting demons” and they’re real and he’s drinking their blood
reminders your best friend is an angel
Whenever Cas hugs Jack, their trueforms are just every combination of parent and baby animal imaginable. (shown here as opossums, swans, humpback whales, and cats)
