watching on the head of a pin and it always throws me through a loop. cas says the angels started fighting their way through the pit the moment dean went to hell and spent that whole time trying to reach him before he broke. and usually whenever i picture cas raising dean from hell i imagine like a heavenly claw machine reaching down and plucking dean from the inferno and dropping him back in his grave no problem. but if the angels left as soon as dean died, that means cas spent forty fucking years fighting tooth and nail past demons and desperate tortured souls to find dean and rescue him?? and then he turned out to be loving and fierce and kind and protective and had disney princess eyes and freckles and little dimples when he smiled? yeah cas i would be obsessed with him for the next decade too
