Thank you for tagging me, @dontbreakthechain, this is gonna be fun~ I only recognized some of yours but [handshake] on the ones I did

I will probably kick myself in a few minutes for forgetting something, but hey, it’s ten of your favourites, not a Top Ten List.

First of all I am so sorry and also I've just been looking at the 'appearances' tab on Castiel's page of the spn wiki and only rewatching the episodes with the gay angel in them but if you haven't seen the first 3 seasons I recommend those also.

I think the ideal like first time viewing order would be s1-5 (minus s01e08 'bugs' which I physically cannot watch and do not recommend) and then just watch the episodes that seem fun and/or have your favourite characters in them. Also don't watch season 9. I only recently finished season 10 which is where I stopped watching when I was into spn originally so I can't say anything about the later seasons but I think the method holds up

Okay! I’ll try to mix it up a bit.

Mage character...my feelings on Merrill are conflicted. Yes this fandom has a problem with infantilizing her, BUT to NOT do that means to not put her above criticism. While her goals are noble I think her means are single-minded. Oddly black and white, even. She can’t seem to grasp that her actions will have consequences that extend to others, not just her.

Rogue character...I like Cole and all, but it’s strange to me that people can’t grasp why other characters might be unnerved by him. Okay I get he’s your son, but Vivienne has every right to no be on board with your Inquisitor’s whims.

Sometimes it’s impossible to get work done while around Arin, though Dan would never resent him for that. It’s all on his shoulders. Arin doesn’t even have to do anything out of the ordinary to distract Dan from the track he’s supposed to be mixing or the lyrics he’s scribbling down. He can’t count how many times he’s spaced off, only to realize once he comes-to that he’s been watching Arin for the past ten minutes while he writes an email. It takes years for him to realize, though, that the same man that halts his progress while he works is also the same man that drives him to work harder than he ever has before in his life.
