It's Only Natural

A particularly pessimistic and irritating Eridian is pontificating to the others, insisting on the highest degree of caution when interacting with the alien in any way, even if that comes at the sacrifice of speed in treating the alien's ailments. Rocky is furious at the implication of "even if that comes at the sacrifice of the alien, period", but silent, unwilling to express his counterargument at full volume and risk waking Grace. Still, he is almost vibrating with anger where he sits on the makeshift 'human-style' bed beside his friend.

"This creature moves about even when supposedly at rest! It's unnatural! Perhaps Rocky-hero only survived the journey here at all because he was safely on the other side of a barrier of xenonite and ammonia, out of this creature's reach. Who knows what violent urges and instincts are contained within that bizarre body?"

The collective attention of the gathered Eridians shifts to focus in on Grace's slumbering form.

As if on cue, Grace rolls onto his side, still snoozing away, and cuddles his whole body in a curve around Rocky's, in a shockingly-close mimicry of a parent [Eridian-cat-equivalent] curling around its [Eridian-kitten-equivalent].

… Why do I suddenly feel like this is all cascading to the point where Rocky has to get married to Grace (platonically or queerplatonically or whatever) for the specific reason that Eridian mates can’t legally testify against each other.

A very stressed Eridian official: Rocky, to the best of your knowledge, is there any reason, no matter how insignificant, that Erid should hesitate at all to aid this human?

Rocky: 😶 … Why don’t we wrap up this hearing for today and resume tomorrow, question.

(1.5 Earth hours later)

Grace: Hahaha Rocky did you know we actually have something like this on Earth too, in my country? It’s called “Las Vegas”—

Grace: Can we have an Elvis Impersonator at least?

Adrian is also There

And

Eridian priest equivalent: Now do you take Rocky and Adrian as your Mate and home thrum

benny - dean - cas 

crowley - dean - cas

it’s a difficult question because the dynamics are so wildly different. benny’s just here for a good time, whereas crowley’s heart is absolutely in this 100% (and he hates that). crowley does have the distinction of having fucked dean and cas but out of the two, only benny has a shot in hell of a potential threesome somewhere down the line. 

By the time crowley came around the writers were willing to be way more bold, way more explicit with it and the result is comedy gold that makes my heart lighter. (x)  I still can NOT believe that they prefaced the two season drowley deancas love triangle with what is essentially a fan edit to ‘who do you love’ or that I missed it at the time, likely not even watching it. (x) But rewatching seasons 10 and 11 right now, I can not believe how much they queercoded their spaces and retroactively acknowledged it.  Playing old voicemails (x), making references (x), direct comments (x), main plot, butting them in gay bars (x)  So we got so much despite how much was left on the cutting room floor (x)(x). It started from a place of control and abuse even though Dean was only open to it because he was trying to regain control over himself after a trauma, but, bizarrely, These boys went on to have a healthy [for spn anyway] ex relationship, with Dean giving Crowley advice (x) and Crowley repeatedly saving Cas for Dean.  this show is wild. 

I love them differently - and what I love most about them is that they are canon Drowley for just how explicit they made it despite being under the radar.  Crowley’s comments and jokes are a joy to rewatch -  Beandenny just for Benny himself being - you know - not a villain - that sulty cajun vampirate (x) who badly needed a hug, and clearly knew Dean cared more about somebody else. We might have seen way more of but everything was so much more subtle then. Just to be ridiculous - Benny was canonically inside Cas before we met him.  Also bonus points for taunting Bobby while saving him. (x) Unlike with Crowley where Dean can blame being a demon, I love that Dean has no excuse for his time with Benny other than being somewhere he actually felt his feels.   Purgatory: Where Gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day
