Aster And Lex !! A Collab With My Friend Ajax, Theyre Our Ocs!

it’s dean-and-lucifer hours ~

the most black-and-white winchester party line is that people are good and monsters are bad, yeah? lucifer, though, looks at human beings and sees mainly the potential for them to become demons. humanity itself is flawed, but human souls have the potential to become demonic, and so to lucifer there isn’t a huge amount of difference between a human and a demon. from this perspective, the black-and-white winchester party line makes no sense: humans aren’t a distinct category from monsters that can be categorized as morally different. “people are good and monsters are bad” would have no meaning to him.

this is another one of those things that underhandedly complicates the “monsters are bad” idea that doesn’t really go anywhere overtly but is very much there. like, imagine you’re dean, and your whole life is spent figuring out who’s a monster and who isn’t so that you can kill or save the right things. then you meet some vampires that don’t drink human blood; you find out sam has demon blood and isn’t as clear-cut human as you’d be comfortable with; you go to hell and are on the path to becoming a demon yourself, etc etc — and over the course of all this, your definitions of “human” and “monster” start to blur. and then you encounter this Thing that looks at these two separate categories you’ve built a whole life around keeping separate, and goes “this is one category. not only is the line between human and monster blurred, there’s no line at all.” 

and dean couldn’t even really deny that without contradicting himself! he is the one who repeatedly remarks that he doesn’t get people, that monsters are easy but people are just fucked up. the monster of the week episodes that turn out to be just people are some of the scariest on the show, and dean barely hesitates before treating those 100% human people like any of the non-human entities he dispatches on a regular basis. those people aren’t on their way to becoming monsters; to dean, they’re just full-on monsters, period.

so lucifer shows up and takes that idea that has been floating around for four seasons and goes all-in with it. this is the hill lucifer is willing to die on, that humans and monsters are functionally the same. 

meanwhile, lucifer fits dean’s most basic definition of a monster: he’s a non-human entity that kills people. does lucifer consider himself a monster by this point? hard to say, but whatever he thinks he is, he thinks he has the authority to make the kinds of decisions dean has been making all along about what types of beings are good and what types are bad, and to kill the ones he deems bad. 

what ends up happening here, imo, is a total deterioration of what “monster” even means. there are several definitions, and nobody can meaningfully agree on them, and according to some of them it’s possible to move from human to monster or monster to human or to be partly both or to be fully both at the same time — and it all just stops making sense. dean and lucifer are not characters who are at all equipped to learn anything from each other, but it is just interesting to look at the similarities between their perspectives and what that does to what the show is saying about monstrousness.

Supernatural is so funny. In which i mean.. its incrsdibly dark and fucked up. Bit its also hilarious. Sam and Dean arw so co-dependant. Its almost funny. They know each other so much but also not at all. They get mad ay each other evedy 2 episodesor so. Then proceede to make. Snarky remakrs at eavh other. Before one of them breaks and talks about wjays actually botherinf them. Sam is more likely to talk about emotions. In this latesg season (5). We habe: a depressed angel who doesnt believe in god anymore. Gets angry when drunk. And has daddy issues. We have 2 codependent brothers, one is the vessel fkr Lucifer and the other fkr Micheal. One believes kn god, the otjer doesnt. One wants tk give up, the other doesnt. And both are incredibly depressed and would kill for each othed. And the surrlgate dad who lost the abilty tk move his legs, had tk kill his wkfe again. And wants to give up but doesnt cause he promised his oldest son. What is funny about this? Castiel basically. Hes incrediblt snarky, blunt and doesnt get human customs. I love him. Hes alsk mean and angry but its understandable. I mean how would you feel if you broks out of a cult to help a guy. And his response ks to give himswlf up to that same cult. Its also the only show where thwy curse out angels, god and the whoke world. And somehow live. Even thoufh Sam has died 3 tines. And Dean has dies 2 timws (not coutnint the tine loop). Irs also thw only sjow where they get to shower an archangel using sprinkles

it's me I'm the gf
