Imagine if when Hester yells "The very touch of you corrupts. When Castiel first laid a hand on you in Hell, he was lost!" Dean reaches up to touch his shoulder where the handprint had been. as if he's doing it without even thinking. but then as soon as he grips his shoulder he flinches as if it had burned him.
Dean's eyes are wide with shame and guilt. and his hand, the one that had touched where the mark had been, is now balled up at his side.
But the action seems to jolt Cas awake somehow. He looks down at his own hand, the same one that made the print, and looks back up. and for a moment - just a moment - he appears to be lucid. Grief washes over his expression as he locks eyes with Dean. Cas looks like he might buckle under it. But then the moment passes quickly and the strange dazed aloofness glazes back over him.
But both of them had heard, clear as the day he said it, Castiel's voice, softly, gently - "You don't think you deserve to be saved".
#just thinking thoughts about the good secret season 7 that lives in my mind#and how that moment should have been monumental for them both#destiel#deancas#castiel's handprint#spn 7x21#destiel ficlet#destiel headcanon#spn ficlet#i just adore that quote and wish it would have made even more of an impact

Hey, Cas is semi-canonically partial to Ecclesiastes + more about windmills and futility
(I cannot remember which script but I believe it's something he suggests to Jack in season 13 or 14.)
But anyway, his praises for Ecclesiastes are fascinating and lovely. (You should give it a whirl, even if the Bible is not typically your book of choice.) There are things in Ecclesiastes that are so Cas. (I think of Season 10’s Cas: “Oh, I have seen the glory and reaped vast rewards…”)
Ecclesiastical nihilism is relevant for all of SPN’s soldier-marked characters, but especially season 7 Cas and of course AU Michael. (See also: Dean, Mary, Raphael.)
///
Ecclesiastes begins:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
///
-OR-
2 “Futility of futilities,” says the Preacher,
“Futility of futilities! All is futility.”
…
Also, the sun rises and the sun sets;
And hurrying to its place it rises there again.
Blowing toward the south,
Then turning toward the north,
The wind continues swirling along;
And on its circular courses the wind returns.
-Ecclesiastes (NASB)
///
(Cas is right, Jack. You should read Ecclesiastes. He’s wry and dare I say acerbic at times? For, you know, an ancient philosopher.)
“…unhappy to me; because everything is futility and striving after wind…”
- Ecclesiastes (NASB)
///
Cas's existential crisis, nihilism, and fear (season 7)
This mindset calls to memory so much of season 7-Cas, but here in particular:
Meg: What dogs? [to Dean]He says he's surrounded by unhappy dogs.
Castiel: They're chasing a rabbit around [indistinct]…
Meg: Oh. Okay. He's at a dog track in Perth.
Castiel: I'm surrounded by large unhappy dogs.
Meg: Yeah, they're unhappy 'cause the rabbit's fake.
Castiel: [to Meg] You know, those racing dogs were absolutely miserable. They can only think in ovals.
-Reading is Fundamental (SPN, season 7)
///
Cas is beaten down after billions of years of military service. He’s effectively frozen. He laments the repetition of war and procreation and finding no meaning in it.
He tries focusing on smaller perspectives: bees, gardens, flowers. He’s trying to find a plan in it all. A divine plan would give it meaning. More importantly, a “laid-out route of flowers,” would give it a meaning he doesn’t have to discover for himself.
So, he devolves into a kind of self-horror in his own participation in the machine, in the repetitious nihilism. Ecclesiastically, he laments his place in the cosmic hierarchy. With respect to his loved ones on earth, he despairs over the pain of gaining wisdom, the shame of his prideful mistakes, and of the recognition of his own violent nature, that he “will destroy…again.” (No matter what pretty things he stood for, he was angry at Heaven. He did want to punish them.)
"Because in much wisdom there is much grief; and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain." (-Ecclesiastes, again)
The “punishment resurrection” gets more painful each time, as Cas said. Why? Wisdom.
///
How do you make meaning out of senselessness? Do you find it in each other?
Later, if you read too much into 12x19’s “The Future,” (as I do), you’ll note that Thank You (Led Zeppelin) seems like it could unofficially be Dean and Cas’s "song." After all, the scripted, "Cas...thank you," is such a loaded phrase to find in a script, coming on the heels of the Led Zeppelin mixtape.
There are things about Thank You that echo Ecclesiastes as well, but with opposite meaning. A hopeful meaning. Not a despairing, “All things are wearisome,” but a thankfulness that you got to be here at all, surviving pain and the crumbling cycles together.
(This is indeed the wisdom Cas tries to give to Jack in Ouroboros as Dean lies dying of a gorgon-induced head injury.)
///
So what of the the Ecclesiastical stirring of wind? What of SPN's windmills?
The characters that struggle with meaning-making amidst the futility of war are often marked by the Ecclesiastical windmill of futility, which is why we see this motif with Cas and Dean so often. We see it particularly when they are marching off to war (like when they meet Raphael in Free to Be You and Me), or when Cas dies in war (ashes near a windmill). It also appears as an industrial building fan when linked to demons.
On a related note, in season 10, Cas's grace is hidden inside Don Quixote. (Taking into account Metatron's beef with Heaven and archangels, this may be an Animal-Farmesque hit at Heaven's machinations as much as Cas's chivalry.)
Another related motif is the simple house fan. It’s a kinder symbol. There is almost always a fan on the shelf near the taller lamp on Dean’s “Cas” side of the bedroom.
But, importantly, a fan isn’t a windmill. It’s not a grand motif. Not duty. Not enemy. Not cause. Not mission. It's gentle and small, tucked into the bedroom and thus intimate. It’s not made for grand purpose. A fan is simply there to be, to comfort, to bask in a private breeze.
When we see an outright “industrial windmill,” it marks darker things, and it calls to mind other futility symbols, like the windmill of Animal Farm—that complicated grand purpose of design that runs the efforts of the hopeful, dutiful civilians into the ground with its corrupt machinations (it stands in for: hunting, Heaven, demonic deals, and just…most career and “cause”-coded things in SPN).
There is an entire scene dedicated to (alt) Mary dealing with the after effects of her child soldierhood in The Winchesters, episode 5 "Legend of a Mind," set to a rather haunting Dusty Springfield cover of Noel Harrison’s Windmills of Your Mind.
Its lyrics echo Cas’s existential crisis from season 7, and also that of late-seasons Michael and terminal-seasons Dean. And that is no accident.
A circle in a spiral, a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning on an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

BTVS ships episode count review
I was thinking about Buffy's 3 main ships (to me): Bangel v. Spuffy v. Fuffy. I was wondering how many episodes (BTVS or ATS) where each ship has scenes together. Then inspired by these two polls I decided to add in two other non-Buffy ships: Gethan and Spangel.
Kudos to the Fuffy and Gethan shippers, who are working with not a TON of episodes with scenes together. Especially Gethan shippers, who only have 4 canon episodes! To be fair, Spangel fans only had 13 until S5 of ATS.
Summary ship episode count:
Spuffy (Spike x Buffy): 71
Bangel (Buffy x Angel): 49
Spangel (Spike x Angel): 35
Fuffy (Faith x Buffy): 21
Gethan (Giles x Ethan): 4
Any blatant negative ship comments, like calling a specific ship indecent will get you blocked. Ship and let ship. Other comments welcome.
Full details under the cut!
What's the Universe? The TV Buffyverse. (BTVS TV or ATS TV eps, the comics and books don’t count.)
How to start? I started with the pre-count. The pre-count is episodes where both characters in the ship appeared.
Spuffy pre-count: 96 (inc. 0 on ATS)
Bangel pre-count: 56 (inc. 2 on ATS)
Spangel pre-count: 42 (inc. 22 on ATS)
Fuffy pre-count: 21 (inc. 1 on ATS)
Gethan pre-count: 4 (inc. 0 on ATS)
How to verify? I did not rewatch all the episodes! I rewatched a few, after checking transcripts, recaps, and ship gif pages.
What doesn't count? Someone talking about the other person, because I am not trying to include the various episodes where Faith is haunting the show. They must appear in a scene together for it to count. They must both be fully aware of each other. Shared dreams (like the Fuffy ones) do count, but regular dreams do not. Buffy Bot, Wishverse Buffy, and FirstEvil Buffy do not count. I treated Faith and Buffy as their "mental" selves during the two body swap episode scenes. Also I treated Angel the same as Angelus and soul-less Spike the same as soul-ed Spike.
Notes per Ship...
Spuffy (Spike x Buffy) 71 total
S1: 0 / S2: 7 / S3: 1 / S4: 9 / S5: 18 / S6: 17 / S7: 19 / ATS: 0
4x06 Wild At Heart does not count because in the cemetery she is not aware he can hear her speech "to him." 4x16 Who Are You? does not count because Spike encounters Faith in Buffy's body, so I counted that as a Faith-Spike scene. 4x22 Restless also does not count because while he appears in Xander's dream and so does Buffy, this is Xander's dream so neither appearance counts. 5x08 Shadow does not count because he dreams of her, but it's not a shared dream.
Bangel (Buffy x Angel) 49 total
S1: 6 / S2: 19 / S3: 18 / S4: 1 / S5: 1 / S6: 0 / S7: 2 / ATS: 2 (S1)
3x03 Faith Hope and Trick does not count because when naked Angel appears at the end Buffy has already left. 3x09 The Wish does not count because Wishverse Buffy is not regular Buffy. 4x08 Pangs does not count because Buffy is not aware of him.
Spangel (Spike x Angel) 35 total
S1: 0 / S2: 10 / S3: 1 / S4: 0 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / S7: 0 / ATS: 24 (S1, 2, 5)
4x08 Pangs does not count because Spike does not share a scene with Angel. 7x21 End of Days and 7x22 Chosen both do not count because while Spike watches Angel, Angel does not seem to be aware of him watching. For ATS, besides all of S5, they share scenes in 1x03 In The Dark and 2x07 Darla.
Fuffy (Faith x Buffy) 21 total
S1: 0 / S2: 0 / S3: 13 / S4: 2 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / S7: 5 / ATS: 1 (S1)
Every Faith appearance in a BTVS episode means she will have a scene with Buffy. She has 5 Buffy-less episodes on ATS. I did count the dream sequence in 3x22 Graduation Day Part 2 because I read it as a shared dream. They are both aware of the other.
Gethan (Giles x Ethan) 4 total
S1: 0 / S2: 2 / S3: 1 / S4: 1 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / ATS: 0
Similar to Faith, whenever Ethan appears in an episode, he will have a scene with Giles.
This doesn't have visualization yet but I wanted to share the results.

M*A*S*H - Viewguide, S7
Are you interested in the long-running anti-war situation tragicomedy M*A*S*H (1972-1983), but there are simply so many asterisks and so many episodes?
Well I can’t help you with the asterisks, but nor can I help myself: I started watching all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H, and bringing back for you my viewing selections, chosen for The Qualities.
— — —
Season 7! An exceedingly sweet one, I'd say. Not as throw-back rambunctious as the previous season, but just real cutie.
Am also really getting the sensation at this point that our moorings have become entirely loosened from time. We're just, floating, slowly revolving in place, the only indication of the outside years the silvering of Alan Alda’s hair. In the fourth episode of this season it’s stated to be October, 1952, and then seven episodes after that it’s September, 1951. Later we celebrate the one year anniversary of the Officer's Club we built five seasons ago and also next year. When are we? We're in M*A*S*H.
Oh and BJ has a mustache now.
Gee-whiskers.
M*A*S*H - Season 7
Recommended sequence
7x03 ‘Lil’ - A very fun older lady colonel comes to the 4077th and bonds with Sherman, but the real ticket is that Hawkeye realizes he truly does not know what the “BJ” stands for, and I realize that Radar is HR. Weeping, why is that…so funny…. The standard level is noticeably lower ever since we entered Season 4, for sure, but that's also why we privilege this one for being the flirtiest, gayest episode this season by a mile, including even Margaret and Lil herself.
7x07 ‘None Like It Hot’ - They Were All So HOT, and the boys order a camping tub from Abercrombie & Fitch. Everyone wants in. You want in. Get in here.
7x11 ‘Point of View’ - Brand-new experimental swing for M*A*S*H, and I’M LIVING. For this whole episode, we’re only seeing what a soldier is seeing. They’ve just set up a camera guy on a cot, and we watch our characters coming in and out of his frame of sight, talking to him, talking to each other at a distance, occasionally just being observed without their knowing. It’s again doing part of what S4’s ‘The Interview’ does, but organically: showing these people we know so well from an outside perspective. It’s incredibly revealing. I was in love with it. Episodic television!!
7x14 ‘An Eye for a Tooth’ - Margaret is in adorable high spirits as her divorce from Donald gets ever closer, and in her charming joie de vivre gets roped into an escalating prank war with her hungover besties Hawkeye and BJ, and the surprise scamp of the hour: Charles, chaos vampire.
7x10 ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ - When I saw this title I just chuckled “Bring me it,” like a king gesturing to a plate of figs. And They Were ALL SO COLD. Blanket cloaks, a ~stunning~ new Winchester parka, everyone with their shoulders hunched up going “Hhha!”, and a couple wonderfully strange and macabre plot points in the cold night that I don’t know, just perfectly deliver a type of atmosphere that enchants me.
7x13 ‘Out of Gas’ - They’re still All So Cold, getting lightheaded from being stuck using ether in the O.R., and Father Mulcahy is on the black market again: rules.
7x20 ‘Hot Lips Is Back In Town’ - Do not let the title mislead you, this is an episode about Major Margaret Houlihan, hilarious, gung-ho, magnificent, being single and ready to revolutionize triage.
7x21 ‘C*A*V*E’ - Now for some reason this title just absolutely sends me. I can't even figure out how I'm pronouncing it in my head except that maybe it's sort of like Tim Curry saying “SpaACE!” Anyway this episode fucks, they evacuate everyone to a cave amid shelling and Hawkeye, rolling his weight from foot to foot at the entrance while his body tries to suffocate him, is like, so, time to reveal I have severe claustrophobia? Hell yeah it is.
7x22 ‘Rally Round the Flagg, Boys’ - Flagg returns, popping out in literal jump scares to people’s literal shouts, truly great, and that’s even before we get to see what happens when you toss him at Charles Emerson Winchester, encountering him for the first time. Sherm directed this one :)
7x23 ‘Preventative Medicine’ - In this season's only dark ep, but oh baby, Hawkeye, with an eerie, damned air, sets out to commit medical malpractice. Run don’t walk: to the trolley problem episode. Run. Don’t. Walk.
7x25 ‘Ain’t Love Grand’ - In this episode, Klinger addresses the fact that he’s wearing a Class A uniform by grinning that he has “a little rendezvous later and we promised each other to dress in something kinky,” and I about lost my glass. Also, Mike Farrell, director of this one, uses his first outing to announce that he conceives of Hawkeye as this cute terrible gremlin who lives to torment him in...ways.
7x26 ‘The Party’ - Sunshiny social engineer BJ Hunnicutt gets it in his tall head that their loved ones should have a party together back in the states, for the connection and comfort that will bring both them and the 4077th. This one had me, as the books say, blubbering. So dear & sweet I could expire !
And that's your set. For the die-hards, full season-long notes as usual coming soon.
Season 1 • Season 2 • Season 3 • Season 4 • Season 5 • Season 6 • Season 7 • To be continued
