Every shot of Cas so far is just him explaining whatever Situation he's put Dean in looking at him like🥺

merry 5thmas Cas saved himself

(and saved the world and remade the world to come)

(through the power of gay love canonically in canon)

#(''turn off the flash'' guy voice) it’s assimilation of the Shadow ya fuckin moron #to clarify: Cas was the one to hear the Mary line because we’re meant to understand his path the same way #Castiel is complete - you who can’t see the vision might not be.

i'm reading 'the path of fireflies' and i've been writing fanfiction long enough to feel like there's something off and all will go down any minute. like "everything was a dream" type of shi, or "dean travelled to the future", or smth like that.

i'm PRAYING nothing happens bc my old gay men deserve some happiness but i'm rarely mistaken about this gut feelings i get😭

edit: I FUCKING KNEW IT

#i hope i am clowning very hard rn #like i hope finish this fic come back here and say #i'm so dumb haha #I NEED TO BE WRONG ABOUT THIS #destiel #supernatural #dean winchester #castiel #spn #casdean #destiel fic #the path of fireflies #tpof #museaway

S4 E4 Supernatural

Dean finds out that Sam is using his demon powers to expell demons without killing the host. Now I understand both sides, it's not like I'm on one side, I see both. On Dean's side a literal Angel of the Lord came down to say 'talk shit into your brother or we go after him' and he found out Sam was lying to him for like a year. But on Sam's side he found out he's like the things he hunts, but he found a way to help people with the evil thing he was given. They're both going through it, they're both scared and traumatized, they both are right and wrong.

#its grey i understand why sam. is desperately trying to find some good he can do with the evil hes given. and while hes doing good we still #dont know WHY he has the powers or if using them corups the user #its possible for his powers to slowly crupt Sam over time. and it doesn't help that they grew up in a hunter family so they've been #conditioned to believe anything supernatural is evil which.... fair alot if supernatural is evil. theyve been bit enough times to be wary #so now we got dean being wary if the supernatural and he got visited by an Angel of the Lord whos told dean that Sam is going down the wron #path right after he just GOT BACK FROM HELL! And while he says he doesn't remember hes getting flashes and the bible says people that go #against god go to Hell. he blocked his time in hell but he knows it wasnt fun. overall its hurt people hurting hurt people who hurt back #sam winchester #dean winchester #ruby #and id love to take ruby at face value. shes been really helpful but her saying shes helping cus she remembers what its like to be human #or whatever her reasoning was. its just not enough for me. her being different then the other demons just doesn't seem like enough #of a reason to be this helpful to Sam. shes still a demon and while she might be a nice and helpful demon i dont see what she gets #castiel #also dean called Castiel Cass this episode #batcavescolony watches #batcavescolony watches supernatural #spn

Frankly, it's a bit creepy.

image description: screenshots from the scene where Sam meets Castiel in “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester” overlaid with text from ‘a softer world’

Closeup on Sam looking at Castiel in wonder, smiling slightly. text reads [I feel like your smile is a sun that shines only on me.]

Shot from above of Castiel looking down at Sam offering his hand to shake. text reads [and to be honest]

Closeup on Castiel looking at Sam seriously as he calls him ‘The Boy with the Demon Blood.’ text reads [that’s a lot of pressure.]

#sastiel #sam winchester #castiel #sam and cas #spn #it's the great pumpkin sam winchester #4x07 #*mine #typically I like to take a more positive view of their first meeting bc I find sam adorable but like #I do imagine it would feel like a lot of pressure to have sam Look At You like that #especially if this moment is supposed to spur a crisis of faith that leads him on a path to lucifer #kinda turns out the other way though doesn't it

Might be an unpopular opinion

Shipping Crowstiel knowing Cas' love for Dean isn't as contradictory as people think

The concept of OTP has always been about what ship the reader, viewer etc thinks works best. OTP don't need to be canon

I still believe Cas could have under the right circumstances loved Crowley in the same way Dean loved Lisa. Dean would be his priority, just like Sam is Dean's priority. But Dean's feelings for Lisa were genuine and strong, and that could have been Cas and Crowley during the times when it was just them working together. It isn't nothing or meaningless just because it's not the #1

However it is more than apparent canon wise Crowley has a major crush on Cas. The flirting, the desire to work with Cas even though Crowley technically could have collected all of those alphas and monsters to interrogate without Cas' help, because of Samuel and his team

So asking for Cas' help was really just an excuse to hang out with him tbh. Now Crowley may also have loved Cas, even as a full demon, in the only way he knew how, but that's less canon for me and more extrapolation from canon. But his crush on Cas? That is an observation not extrapolation

I think there is something so carthartic for me as the viewer about Cas having someone who views him as an equal and thinks he's hot and has a crush on him and thinks he is amazing. Because this is Cas with low self-esteem and who is treated like dirt by Dean. Dean said that Cas is kind of like a talking dog in Scoobynatural 🤬

It's carthartic that Cas has Crowley see him with positive regard AND Cas doesn't have to give anything in return for it. Cas doesn't have to GIVE Crowley reciprocation for Crowley to appreciate him. This is so refreshing in a dynamic were Cas always has to give back to Dean to be liked by him

I think there is also something carthartic about it for Crowley. Sure Cas wouldn't feel the same way for Crowley as he does for Dean, but Cas is fun to hang around with. Crowley has fun seeing what reactions he can get out of Cas when he flirts or riles him up. Crowley never knows when Cas will get angry and throw him up against a wall, which is attractive to Crowley's masochistic side. Or whether Cas will make him feel happy inside, like when Cas joked around with Crowley being agent Zappa

That is the face of a man that says okay that was hot. Do it again. I wish I saw Cas' face lol because I bet it would have caught him off guard 😂

Now if a different path was taken and we had a BROTP instead? Oh yeah for sure Crowstiel could have been a BROTP in canon if Dean was more mature. And I mean a real BROTP. Not just a wish fulfilment BROTP. It would have been a more realistic BROTP than Cas and Dean because:

Cas would have more sibling like vibes with Crowley than with Dean. Why? Because Cas wouldn't see Crowley as above him. He will fight with Crowley, call him out, joke around with him, just like Sam and Dean do all of that with each other. Cas sees Dean as a rolemodel, someone to admire, someone to worship, someone who is more like his king than his sibling. Dean is not submissive with Sam and vice versa, because they see each other as equals. Sam and Dean actually have sibling vibes and sibling vibes don't involve submission, but Cas is submissive to Dean

I think if the BROTP path was the path the writers went with instead, if they had treated Mark better so he stayed on the show? It would have been a better reflection on what an actual NOT co-dependent sibling relationship would look like

It’s just. The problem isn’t even that they kept bringing Lucifer back. It’s that they never did anything interesting with it. You’re going to tell me that he spends an entire season going “this has to happen. It’s going to happen. No one can stop it,” and only wavers a little at the final moment and then gets his ass handed to him by Sam Winchester, proving that he was definitely wrong this entire time, and that didn’t do anything to his worldview? If Michael gets to have an existential crisis about his role in everything when he gets out of the Cage, Lucifer deserves to have one too.

#like in the ideal spn in my head #Lucifer and Sam both get sprung during s6 #(Michael and Adam too but they’re not important right now they’re making out somewhere else) #Lucifer doesn’t even have to be helpful or anything #like why would he be. he has no horse in this race at all. #heaven tearing itself apart? Castiel throwing a rebellion? #‘good job little brother see how well that works out for you’ #I think he’d just follow Sam around honestly #like ‘Sam. Sam. how did you do that. you literally broke destiny. how did you. show me how to do that. show me how right now.’ #does he even have a purpose post-apocalypse? he’s literally been supplanted by another villain. #how fucked up would it be to fail at your own destiny and then be swept aside so someone else can have a try #and that person is also your other sibling. the one you didn’t manage to A) kill during the apocalypse or B) get stuck in hell with #parallel the drunk!cas scene with a scene where Sam has to deal with a drunk Lucifer who has no idea what he’s meant to be doing now #Lucifer: I couldn’t do the one thing I was meant to and it’s not even because I chose a different path. you did! you ruined me Sam! #Sam: that’s rough buddy #spn #supernatural #Lucifer

[deancoded-deangirl]

anyone have an destiel fic recs? preferably AU shit. I like lastknownwriter’s stuff the most but angst is also good. anyway pls any destiel classics

#I’ve read most of the classics #but I need more #past present is my favorite of LKW #the angst!!! #but ninety one whiskey and four letter word for intercourse and to build a home and the path of fireflies #all that shit was GOOD #destiel #supernatural #deancas #dean winchester #castiel #cas #spn

[towerofgiraffes]

even a token mention of cas would have the castiel girlies clinging to and buzzing for a next season but the winchesters didn't even try

like what are you doing? if you see folks online hoping for castiel but you didn't shoot any castiel that means you cheaply adr a line about castiel into the finale of your on the bubble spinoff show to keep them wanting more. learn how to bait an audience properly!

#spnwin #this is a joke btw i thought the winchesters was an ok show and there was a decent amount of interesting stuff #i'm just saying there was an easy path they didn't take and it's going to disappoint a chunk of the small fanbase the show had #did i seriously think castiel would have a significant role in the show? no not really #but i did kinda assume jensen would see disappointment in the fandom and throw crumbs out there for them as a gift #the winchesters

July 3rd: The Monster as The Other

going on day three of celebrating @bloodycasnatural with some frankensteinnatural tfw (further explanation in the tags)

#i explicitly chose moments where they're not like #actually posessed #like there's higher magical forces effecting them sure but they ultimately chose these paths #that would end in isolation or loneliness #creating themselves as the other #7x1 #shows castiel as god #sure #but he's so fucking alone #he doesn't even have sam and dean WORSHIPPING him let alone at his side #is he truly a monster? or does that only happen with the levithan? #he is a monster bc he kills or is he a god bc he kills people we don't like either #4x20 #is the moment dean sees sam drinking the demon blood #he already has been for longer than 20 episodes #is he only a monster when caught? #when discovered? #is he only labeled as the Other by dean? #would he not be othered if dean never found out? #is the very definition of monster based on being known and being hated? #again he only kills those he thinks are deserving #and they are monsters. they're demons. #he's not the one killing the vessel #right? the demon is #and #10x22 #the mark is giving dean the desire to kill #but didn't john give him that first? #he's not a demon #his soul is fully intact

@loadedwinchester — cont.

There comes a slow, steady exhale — something that has an element of measured resignation. ❝ No, ❞ he says, at last. ❝ I wouldn’t. ❞ And —— there’s some fondness to it, really, and appreciation; that tenacity was always one of the things that drew his attention to the Winchesters in the first place. He respects it. 

It also drives him up the wall.

❝ You could have asked for my help. ❞ And he knows just as well as any how likely that is — but he has to put it out there, and he breathes out slow. ❝ —— are you hurt? ❞

#&. ( castiel ) now i realize there is no righteous path. #& muse : castiel. #loadedwinchester

I am once again asking how to get the Cas and Rayan illustrations for the honeymoon episode

#mcl #mycandylove #mcl rayan #mcl castiel #i made choices and I think they're the wrong ones and now idk how to proceed with Cas do I get the phone or follow the stream or mark a path #why am I so bad at this game #plz help a poor soul

[livingjoke]

Still absolutely flummoxed by how I don’t kin Dean even tho he’s just like me for real but Castiel just got me feeling some sorta way, ya know?

Cas and I do share a more profound bond 🤷‍♂️

#personal #supernatural #like… dean is so angry and sad all the time #he’s broken and he cares so much and he hates himself so much #but cas… #cas just… gets me #he’s awkward and dorky and weird #and he’s loving and loyal but also so very flawed #too much heart was always castiel’s problem #and he’s tied to a religion he doesn’t fully support the accepted terms for #so he makes his own path #and he’s gay let’s not forget that part #he’s just… #him

[vettelmeisterr]

To put it in the simplest words Castiel’s rebellion in regard to Dean was never about replacing heaven and God with Dean. It was about how now Cas belongs to Dean. Castiel’s role in heaven was as a soldier, his only purpose to serve. Being associated to Dean Castiel got what heaven never offered, unconditionality. Castiel doesn’t simply rebel from Dean. Dean chooses to remain with Castiel as an ally, a friend, as family. Castiel being off path or fishy wouldn’t lead to Dean lobotomizing Cas. It is made clear in Season 7 Episode 23 when Dean says, “I’d rather have you, cursed or not.” The dialogue has its own layers of interpretations, but one and perhaps one of the most positive ones can be, I know you fucked up and I know you are messed up in the head but you still belong with us. Interestingly the nickname Castiel earned from Dean in his most early episodes is Cas. Castiel is a Hebrew name roughly translating into “Shield of God”. Dean removed the suffix -tiel meaning “of god” from Castiel. Even unknowingly in the act of giving a little nickname, Dean literally removed God and heavens possession of him.
