#I am going to headcanon that dean gets either a handprint tattoo on his shoulder
Text
it’s the third man (spn 6x03) and cas is back. and he’s accidentally revealed some important angel information. about souls. about claims. about dean.
cas says, when a claim is laid on a living soul, it leaves a mark, a brand. and dean does this thing. an almost imperceptable shift of his left arm. where up until a year ago, he had a handprint burned into his skin. cas’ hand print.
factor in cas’ recent comment about sharing a more profound bond with dean (as compared to sam) and we can interpret that to mean cas laid a claim to dean’s soul when he held him tight and raised him from perdition in lazarus rising (spn 4x01).
only, it seems as tho that claim is written on the soul. not on the body. which also means cas went a little overboard. gripped dean’s soul a bit too tight. left a mark on his physical self. because when dean winchester was saved, castiel angel of the lord wasl also saved—because he started to fall.
and it also means that the claim is still there. according to TPTB dean was healed of the handprint in swan song (spn 5x22) because it’s notably missing in later eps. but since it’s actually a soul mark. and a soul mark will tell you the name of angel who made the claim...
well then. cas wrote his name on dean’s soul.
probably in enochian. so even tho the handprint is gone, the claim isn’t. but also. what if the claim. the signature. is a handprint? soul’s are bright white orb-like lights. and maybe dean’s has a small blue spot of grace on his. in the shape of a hand. always facing to the left.
