I HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME AND IT FEELS LIKE HOME

There was really no winning that one

Look what you did, you gave that angel pronouns and free will and now it's got anxiety

#i want the other angels to be profoundly disturbed by castiel's pronouns and calling his appearance a body rather than a vessel#like look at this freak? put itself in a meat cage and grew desires#and castiel is like 'its himself actually'#and they all recoil in horror#< my original tags#because i forgot i posted this#and they crack me up#but also im still obsessed with Cas as monstrous both to humans and to angels#othered everywhere he goes#self reblog via lazarrusrising

jimmy novak is a fascinating character to me and at least 80% of the reason for that is that no one in their right mind would ever cast misha collins to play that character. like, misha played him because he was already playing cas but if they had written a guy like jimmy without cas existing first they would never have cast a guy like misha to play him. it's not his type. and it makes jimmy come off really strange in an interesting way.

#this is all true and all very funny#it's also just#jimmy's entire arc is that of a man in a lavender marriage???#we know almost nothing about him except that he's a midwestern man with a boring job#and then cas shows up and he just#runs away with cas#like the rapture is an absolutely fascinating episode#because yes on one level it is about like vessels and what happens to them#but also on the other it's also about jimmy choosing to leave his family because something about him that is fundamentally immutable#(textually being cas' vessel)#endangers his idyllic midwestern nuclear family#oh the supernatural discourse about deviancy!

its crazy hes cas cuz dean called him that. sorry i know this is so basic like duh. but hes literally cas bc dean literally just started calling him that and it just became him. he just became cas. does anyone understand. his name was castiel and probably um no one called him other things. and then he met dean and dean was like im going to call u cas. ok. and then he became cas. like duh. like you changed me dean. but he literally did... he changed him into cas...

to me , supernatural is unfinished
