I was about to say Muriel, but then I remembered that was Cas praying to her, not the other way around. Yeah, I think it was 9x01 with Dean praying to Cas. It’s been a while. :( :(

mittensmorgul said: Oh no. Was it 9.01? When Dean prayed to him before he learned Cas lost his grace? Oh, that would make me sad. That was a LONG time ago.

sleepsintheimpala said: Probably, Dean in 9x01. After that it was human!Cas and I don’t think the other angels prayed to him after his grace was restored.

Yesssss! I never see Raphael fanart, and this is so beautifully done, to boot!

*shrugs* It did end up happening on screen, though. They could have just used the 1 picture that they wouldn’t have to alter but they went ahead with using a doctored one as well. Happenstance can sort of change into intent by suggesting new ideas you wouldn’t have thought of, especially if it starts feeding more into themes that were already ongoing. Perhaps they would have wanted the emphasis on Mary anyway (especially since one picture was just her and Dean to begin with) so having to photoshop John out was secretly a blessing. He was a contentious figure all season, with overt textual comments on his parenting skills and subtextual references specifically suggesting that it was time to let go and move on from the influence they had left on their lives. Throw in Sam saying to use the pictures of Mary to guide Dean’s morality, then you end up with an even clearer divide than they ever intended but one that is mirroring the subtext of the season.

Beep boop filleretive you wrote the thing you can help me out with any more ideas relating to this. :P

My local Latin expert offered the following:

Arcam confutare sititm restinguere sanguine nostrum To suppress the Ark and extinguish our thirst with blood Arca turbata clavem inveniet ut obruat With the Ark [box/chest] thrown into confusion, he/she will discover the key and hide/crush it.
