ok but metatron meeting god in s11 is beautiful and heartbreaking because he is THE fallen angel.
lucifer is the king of hell and castiel is the winchester’s kingpin but metatron? metatron is nothing. he is the sisyphus of humanity. he is doomed to rot amongst the lowest of existence and relive his worst mistakes ad nauseam. his pride has been beaten to a bloody pulp and his divinity taken from him, but still he reveres humanity. he is full of so much hatred and vitriol and fury but its because he flew too close to the sun. he loved too strongly, and he was abandoned.
metatron is such an intriguing character in general because he is such a cunt and so disgustingly awful in his self-satisfaction, yet still so vulnerable. he is a human that walks among angels. he is a meaningless speck in the larger picture. he knows he is flawed, he is pathetic, he is worth so little, yet he still stands up to his creator. he is the scribe of god who was left behind. he has spent countless millennia hidden away in awe of god’s creation, enraptured with their wit and ingenuity yet too scared to ever partake. he’s all sorts of awful and fucked up but when push comes to shove he gets up in chuck’s face and tells him he’s a goddamn coward and half the man that he loves.
yet despite this metatron talks about god with such awe. such reverence. god was his maker and his destroyer, his world and its downfall. god was everything to metatron, and he never forgave him for leaving. it filled him with such dismay and rage to be his most trusted confidant, the one to speak directly with the lord himself, then to be left behind in silence. i mean, just look at the way metatron describes him:
you are light. beauty. creation. wrath, damnation and salvation. why did you abandon us? why did you abandon me? you picked me. your light shined upon me, but then you left me. i prayed, every day. i know i am a disappointment, but you are wrong about humanity. they never give up. but you do. they are better than you are.
i dunno man. it just makes me feel all sorts of ways about the broken, bitter and twisted shell of god’s voice telling him that he was his first love and his first light, but that he’s also a coward. that an angel of the lord knows he is flawed of his own mistakes but that what god did to the world— and to him, was blasphemy, no matter how bright He shines. tis a stark reminder that supernatural is the Family Is Hell show and that generational trauma has roots too deep to cut loose.

∆ Silver, you're very good at helping other silver's - how come you're so mean to yourself? Yourself. Not the other versions of you.
I’m not mean to myself. I’m hard on myself, but I’m not mean to myself. I have to be to be the strongest trainer. If I don’t have some sort of self discipline, I’m not reaching my goals.
I know that’s not what you mean.
I don’t know. I know, but I also don’t. Why I’m so abrasive, that’s just who I am, but I also care too much. Why do I care so much? I couldn’t tell you. I can’t piece together why I care for others sometimes. I couldn’t tell you why I get so worked up over it. Repeating things that are in the past in my head so I know that I shouldn’t do worse like that. But beating myself up? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard but people have told me that I don’t and shouldn’t have to? So clearly I do that and I’m stuck in my own head about my attitude all over again.
Changing isn’t easy at all. I hate that. And yet I have to grin and bear it. Shoulders apparently I can cry on but that doesn’t fix the problem with me.
You can guess the rating yourself.

For a horrible long moment she teetered on the edge, fighting gravity. I leaped up, racing to grab her, pull her back, somehow, save her.
But the tiger wrapped a massive arm around me and held me down.
She fell. Disappeared from sight.
<No! No! No!> I cried.
<Hang on, Marco>, Jake said. <Hang on, man. Hang on, man.>
He held me that way, pinned down. The strength of his tiger morph made my own strength insignificant.
<Hang on, Marco. Hang on, man.>
Dimly, as though I was watching it on an out-of-focus TV, I was aware that battle raged on the opposite peak.
[...]
In the sky a battle raged between the Empire ship and the Blade ship with its fighters. Not my problem anymore.
Nothing was my problem. All I had to do was listen to the voice in my head saying, <Hold on, Marco. Hold on, man. Hold on.>
like if k. a. applegate didn't want me to be a crazy person about this maybe she should have written a different fucking book!!!!

We always talk about how lil hal and davesprite are the same, or hell, I’ve seen analysis of how lil hal and dave are the same (both being victims of abuse from a Dirk, etc)
I’ve never seen anyone talk about how *similar* davesprite and Dirk are.
Davesprite is cold. Far colder than Dave is. During accelerate, we see him completely grinding in the game, disconnecting from his emotions. It’s also seen in his pesterlog with his rose- he’s very to the point, practical, and business focused even if it’s surrounded by some slight rambling.
Everyone knows Dirk ghosts mind as a prince of heart. During Unite and Synchronization, even though he’s doing some pretty emotional stuff (seeing People for the first time in his life, for example) he’s still incredibly cold, practical, and straight down to business.
They both struggle with pushing others away. Dirk does so by being overbearing, constantly hovering and trying to control the people around him. Davesprite takes a more direct approach, actively being mean and cruel to them.
They both constantly beat themselves up over not being good enough, and on the more lighthearted side, they’re both narration funky people, Dirk with the epilogues + homestuck 2 + I think pesterquest, and davesprite with namco high. They’re extremely aware of everything, except how their actions affect others. They’re definitely not selfish, though, only ignorant and a little bit naive in thinking that rationality is the only way to do things.
I have many thoughts. Have fun chewing on this <3
Asher I just. GOD.
I need to go out today! How am I supposed to be a functional member of society when I can't stop thinking about this
