CASTIEL ✧ 9.9 HOLY TERROR

i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again

these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled

seeing a lot of discourse about tswift lyrics and starting to feel like the asylum where they raised me that you wouldn't last an hour in are the alt rock songs with absolutely opaque lyrics that i loved in the 90s

3.5 hours late with my antidepressants and I'm already like nobody understands me like my favourite band from when I was 14

you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me (destiel)

The issue I have with fics that talk about angels as if they're birds in any way (ex. talking about fledglings, wing anatomy, etc.) is that they take the inhumanness of angels, and make it earthly and comprehensible, when angels should be alien and eldrich. Angels are made of light and math, not actual physically functional feathers.

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"

I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.

This rumor is CONFIRMED. 

In episode 5.04 (The End) the original script says: 

But instead, we become this. The only thing I think we have left, Dean and me, is each other. (unadorned sincerity) If Dean says it’s time to go out in a blaze of glory, win or lose, so be it. I’m in. But then…  (smiles easily at Dean) That’s just how I roll.

This script (which can be seen here) was won by Laura (tumblr user hidefan) in an auction at Rising Con in 2010. She posted it on her tumblr after having the script signed by Misha Collins at the same convention the following year. (x) 

In the episode, Castiel says: 

Except I used to belong to a much better club. And now I’m powerless. I’m hapless, I’m hopeless. I mean, why the hell not bury myself in women and decadence, right? It’s the end, baby. That’s what decadence is for. Why not bang a few gongs before the lights go out? But then that’s, that’s just how I roll.

(From Supernatural Wiki’s Transcript)

Therefore, the line was changed between the original script and the final version in the show, and this rumor is Confirmed.

(If you’ve got a supernatural rumor you’d like fact-checked, peruse our Rumor Masterpost or send us an ask!)

Notes: 

Laura (hidefan) has the entire script, but this was the most significant difference between the script and the show. 

If you’re curious about how season 9 will fit in with the current year (since it will be 2014 halfway through the season) and the End!verse, check out our posts here and here.

Post 6/6 of Ben Edlund commentary from SPN Then and Now podcast, 4/15/2024

Edited for clarity.

About Cas as a "broken angel," and Sam, Dean, and Cas and plot armor:

"Castiel has been a freak his whole existence and kind of a broken angel in some way that was intended. And there’s sort of a hair in the gate that was put there for some reason and it seems like the hair in the gate is a foiling mechanism for the corrupt ambitions of the archangels, the one who keeps messing it up and keeps coming back with this stubborness that defies the story. Here’s a miracle, that we are permitted to do this. We just kept bringing Cas back because everybody was like, cool, we like Cas. No one was like, “how does this work, why is this allowed?” It actually breaks the coherence of life and death but to me it makes a certain sense in the same way that moving forward through 15 seasons one could say it just passes beyond credibility…to me it passes into an epic Gilgamesh*. It passes into a thing where of course you can throw Sam or Dean 30 feet into a concrete pillar and they just…because they have lapsed into demi-god-dom, demigodhood, through all these crazy trials and purifications, going to Hell numerous times, and dying and coming back, it is a process they went through of becoming."

*Footnote: Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia about a king on a quest for immortality. Not incidentally, featuring the friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, best friends, found brothers, and often interpreted as a queer relationship. (There’s scholarly books on the subject). Best friends, brothers-in-arms, and lovers. Super interesting Ben Edlund references Gilgamesh right after talking about Cas’s immortality, in the same podcast where Ben Edlund also talks about Dean and Cas’s profound bond, subtext, show don’t tell but also “we just like…say it,” isn’t it? It’s not just about the immortality aspect. Dean and Cas are the Gilgamesh and Enkidu comparison. Sam and Dean and Cas as characters are comparable to the immortality themes and “demigodhood.”

buffy summers is the ultimate "she should have been at the club". because she was at the club. often. and yet,
