Castiel Forever

I haven't been around lately. That's because the last job I took depressed me, and I feel like I let myself down. However, I landed a job at Groupon (Thailand) as a bilingual copywriter. 

They said they were not looking for anyone who has a bachelor degree in English, rather someone who could use English like a native speaker. I know I have a long way to go as a writer.It's a huge compliment (and a very satisfactory paycheck) that someone like me could work side by side with folks who've studied or lived overseas. I'm also studying in a grad school. I' happy. Sometimes I wonder if they know I'm not one of them. Would they see me differently once they realize that my father is just a personal driver and my mother is just a clerk in a family company that's going downhill? Ahh.. I'm getting ahead of myself here. 

 I think writing is the same for every language - you have to write a lot and read even more to improve your skill. For me, I feel like Tumblr has renewed myself, opened up my eyes and ears to a world of creative writing. Words are tools... and toys. I learn a lot from you guys, and would never dream of stopping now. 

Since my self-esteem is restored, I am back on Tumblr. 

Misha: Yeah, I think that's actually a good point. The whole arc of the season last year culminated with one big storyline, but each individual character also had their own arc and their own big stuff that was going on. So that's a good question. Almost as if you know the show. And I think that they're paying that off really really well in the beginning of this season. I can speak for—my character, Castiel, is now powerless. He's now a human being. It really happened. And now he's trying to navigate the waters of, you know, negotiating being a human, and learning to do things like, fornicate, am I allowed to say that? So, you know, Cas, he's got a lot to deal with. From learning how to eat, and learning how to go to the bathroom, and learning how to deal with all these, you know, bodily issues that being a human bring up; but he's also being pursued by all of the angels who fell to Earth because of him. So they all want him dead. So he's kind of up a creek without a paddle.

Mark: You look so worried right now.

EW: I am worried about Castiel! Because he has this army going after him and no powers.

Misha: He's not got powers.

EW: But he does have the Winchesters.

Misha: He does have the Winchesters, but, you know, all is not perfect between Cas and the Winchesters. It is and it isn't. For starters, Cas—this is a spoiler that I don't know that I'm allowed to say, but it used to be that Cas could, you know, when they wanted to get together, Cas could just teleport. Now, if Cas is across the country, it takes three days for him to get to the Winchesters. Little details like that crop up.

EW: Well, we did experiment with that a little bit in the series so far. Remember when he was using a cellphone, and like, "what the hell's going on, why do you want me to say my name?"

Misha: Yeah, Cas also sort of fell—he lost his powers incrementally, I think it was season 5. But we didn't really delve deeply into it. He had sort of a small, a short brush with the infirmities of humanity. But it wasn't a real exploration of that. And now we're really exploring it, which is cool. It's kind of what I've been excited to do with Cas for a really long time, so I'm having fun with it.

EW: Very cool. And what's going on with Crowley? We left off with him kind of turning, I mean, kinda getting cured a little bit..?

Mark: Cured? What do you mean, cured? Turning him human isn't curing him.

EW: Which is scaring me. Like, it genuinely makes me a little scared.

Mark: Yes. I think the best way to put it is that what happened to Crowley has more of an impact on Crowley than Crowley would like to admit. I think Crowley, again, is gonna have to deal with the idea of humanity, maybe. I don't know how big or how small that will become, we'll see. But I think right now, he's definitely in the hands of moose and squirrel.

EW: So he's hanging out with them more. That's kinda fun.
