Gaze of the Boy-King

Started watching supernatural. Here’s my first fanart: Sam Winchester, a WIP. Through making this, I realized what sad puppy eyes Sam has. Even though what he’s doing here is not ostensibly sad or puppydog. Can you guess what he’s up to? Follow for the finished piece.

I think it is that melancholic dichotomy, the way Sam’s self-effacing—and at times diminutive-energy, contrasts with a certain threatening quality (that comes with his size, demonic blood, and lifetime spent killing), that makes his character so interesting in its contradictions. He tries so hard to be normal compared to Dean—he seems like the more normal of the two outwardly, but all he’s known is instability and violence. That shows through the cracks on several occasions. But he’s kind of mournful about it.

Painting him also made me note how much Sam’s face hardened over the years. He still has his baby fat here, whereas in the season I’m on (9) he’s become very cut and angular. I guess in a way, that change can be tracked in his psyche as well as his physical exterior.

I’m not finished with the series, so no spoilers past s8 in the notes please! (assuming there are any notes)

happy pride month!

Medusa and the blind woman in love

See. See, it's a promise.

One, if I remember right, I assume he made to himself. A personal vow of sorts.

Mercy. Consideration. Humaneness. It's not an intrinsic part of his character. It's not who Castiel is. It's not what Heaven made.

It's a choice. One he has to remind himself of, one he has practice at, over and over—until it can come to him as easily as his ruthlessness, his brutality.

And that? Very appealing to me, personally.

When Castiel is kind? It's because he chose to be, not because he is. He wouldn't need a promise like this if he is.

“Good men don’t need rules.”

Let’s talk Castiel/Doctor parallels, shall we?

1. Cosmic beings. Immortal, powerful. Meant to be distant observers or enforcers. Do not stay that way.

2. Lovers of humanity (and certain humans in particular). Deeply curious and attached, sometimes to their detriment.

3. Divine rebels who rejected the cold logic of their species or superiors. Empathy over blind obedience to order.

4. Killers haunted by their catastrophic choices and the role they had in the destruction of their people and many others.

5. Lonely figures who crave connection but are doomed to outlast those they love (if they don’t die first).
