DEAN THROWS A FIT, MAKES A MESS, AND CAS PICKS UP AFTER HIM. WHAT ELSE IS NEW.

Yeah that’s a completely accurate and rational depiction of their entire friendship even though Cas went power hungry, betrayed Dean’s trust and nearly killed Sam by tearing his mind apart. Clearly he never did any wrong or deserved to have Dean angry with him for such minor and petty little problems.  But yeah how dare Dean throw a fit!

HERE IS THE POINT: DEAN WENT TO HELL BECAUSE OF A DEMON DEAL AND BROKE THE FIRST SEAL; WHILE SAM WORKED WITH A DEMON AND BROKE THE LAST SEAL; BOTH HAD A HAND AT STARTING THE APOCALYPSE. CAS PULLED DEAN OUT OF HELL, REBELLED AGAINST HEAVEN BECAUSE DEAN ASKED HIM TO, AND HELPED THEM STOP THE APOCALYPSE. CAS DIED TO BUY DEAN TIME. TWICE. SAM GOT HIMSELF LOCKED IN THE CAGE WITH MIKEY AND LUCI, CAS PULLED HIM OUT (And don’t argue the soul thing, you know it was too hard for him just lifting the fucking moose. It was hard for the angels to go to hell for Dean, can you fucking imagine how hard it must be to go to a cage alone, to snag a moose from Mikey & Luci’s playhouse?!). DEAN AND SAM “MESSED UP FATE”, CAUSED CHAOS, AND CAS WAS ON CLEAN UP DETAIL. WHENEVER DEAN AND SAM GOT INTO TROUBLE, CAS RESCUED THEM. RAPHAEL WANTED TO RESTART THE APOCALYPSE THAT DEAN, SAM & CAS DERAILED. CAS DIDN’T WANT TO BURDEN DEAN WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE HE CONSIDERED HIMSELF THE WINCHESTER’S GUARDIAN AND BECAUSE HE FELT DEAN DESERVED A BREAK. CAS WORKED WITH A DEMON DEAN AND SAM HAD WORKED WITH BEFORE. DEAN AND SAM GOT PISSED. CAS KILLED RAPHAEL AND AVERTED ANOTHER APOCALYPSE, WHICH COINCIDENTALLY, WAS WHAT DEAN WANTED.

CLEARLY, ALL HE DID WAS TRY TO SERVE DEAN AND HIS PURPOSE. HE DIDN’T HAVE TO, BUT HE DID.

DEAN ASKED HIM TO RETURN THE SOULS TO PURGATORY, WHICH EVENTUALLY, CAS DID. CAS WAS OVERPOWERED BY LEVIATHANS, WENT TO THE LAKE AND CAME OUT NAKED. DEAN WASN’T THERE ANYMORE. CAS DIDN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING AND FOUND COMFORT IN MARRYING A GREEN-EYED LADY WHO FOUND HIM AND CARED FOR HIM. DEAN, LATER THEN STUMBLED UPON CAS BECAUSE HE WAS LOOKING FOR A GUY TO FIX HIS BROTHER. CAS WAS AT PEACE WITH NOT REMEMBERING, BUT BECAUSE DEAN NEEDED HIM TO REMEMBER SO HE COULD HELP HIM, CAS DID. CAS TOOK ON SAM’S PAIN AND NOW SAM’S FINE AND CAS IS CRAZY. AND THEY LEFT HIM THERE. WITH A DEMON WHOM THEY’RE WORKING WITH. AGAIN. THEY COME BACK NOT TO CHECK UP ON HIM, BUT TO SEE IF HE’S GOOD TO GO AND IS SANE ENOUGH TO START HELPING THEM AGAIN.

AND THROUGH EVERYTHING, CASTIEL SAYS “SORRY”. I’M SORRY THIS BURDEN FALLS ON YOU, DEAN. I’M SORRY I COULDN’T BE OF MUCH HELP TO YOU, DEAN. I’M SORRY I CAN’T ALWAYS BE THERE ON EARTH WITH YOU, DEAN, BUT I GUARANTEE YOU I’LL ALWAYS COME WHEN YOU CALL. I’M SORRY YOU FEEL THE NEED TO GO AGAINST ME WHEN ALL I’VE BEEN TRYING TO DO WAS HELP YOU, DEAN. I’M SORRY I BROKE YOUR BROTHER’S WALL, SO I CARRIED HIS BURDEN FOR HIM, DEAN. I’M SORRY I CAN’T BE RUNNING AROUND WITH YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW, DEAN, BECAUSE I’M A LITTLE CRAZY AT THE MOMENT, BUT HERE’S MY BLOOD, I KNOW YOU NEED ME TO GIVE YOU THAT.

THIS SCENE IS THEIR ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP. THEY’RE PLAYING A GAME OF SORRY, AND DEAN CAN’T WIN SO HE GETS ANGRY AND THROWS THE BOARD OUT. AND HE SITS IDLY BY, LETTING CAS PICK UP THE PIECES FOR HIM.

THEY ARE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. WHERE DEAN HITS AND TAKES AND TAKES AND TAKES; AND WHERE CASTIEL IS THE BATTERED AND BRUISED SPOUSE WHO THINKS HE DESERVES IT AND TRIES TO BLAME HIS WOUNDS ON A WALL HE SUPPOSEDLY “WALKED INTO”.

SO YES, HOW DARE DEAN THROW A FIT! HOW DARE WE THINK ABUSE IS NEVER DESERVED! (*HONK* SARCASM)

Why DOES Castiel look down and away when he sees a woman give Dean attention? Putting aside all “because he loves him” knee-jerk responses, what other feelings would motivate him to react like that? Because he loves Anna? Because he feels bad that he’s making Dean risk his life? I just don’t know. Destiel looks more and more canon the longer I spend on tumblr.

I actually edited the sequence of the shots in order to show the parallels; but if anything, I made the top gif look less like Destiel than the actual show. In the episode (S4 Heaven and Hell), Anna pulls Dean to her after stroking his arm and kisses him, and Castiel responds by … staring. They cut from Anna kissing Dean to Castiel’s face and it’s doing this:

Then they cut back to the kiss, and Anna pulls away and tells Dean she forgives him. It’s at this point that Castiel finally looks away.

I kept going back to this part when I first watched the episode because I couldn’t put my finger on what Cas’s expression was supposed to be. One of the big themes of “Heaven and Hell” is how angels don’t have emotions, they don’t feel; they’re marble statues, cold and distant, merciless andriods. And then suddenly Uriel shows up in Dean’s dream and tells him Castiel has this weakness, he likes Dean. Since when do angels have weak spots for people? How can Castiel like Dean if Castiel can’t feel anything? I mean, Castiel was going to follow his orders and kill Anna, and when he said he was sorry and she said, “You don’t know the feeling,” he didn’t argue with her. But he likes Dean? Dean is his weakness?

So I kept going back to Castiel’s expression when Anna kissed Dean and tried to figure out what it was. It doesn’t look like jealousy to me. It’s not anger, disgust, curiosity, or Cas doing his humans-are-strange what-are-these-interlocking-mouth-parts alien thing. It’s not sadness, if he was embarrassed he’d look away, it’s not fondness, he doesn’t look regretful until he turns away. Finally it hit me: it’s longing.

And maybe you could argue that Castiel isn’t longing to be kissing Dean or to be kissed by Anna specifically; maybe Castiel is just longing for that kind of connection, that human, physical connection of being lovers. And that makes sense, but then you are forced to consider the fact that Dean is the only person with whom Castiel has tried to form that kind of connection, the only person to whom Cas has tried to be close. 

So, yes, I literally cannot think of any explanation for Castiel’s behavior except that Castiel is in love with Dean. I didn’t even want to ship Destiel. The show made me!

Dear fandom, TV bloggers, and other interested parties,

You act like Supernatural never gave him any pov, or character development, never made him a complex, layered character. Never gave him any internal conflict, strong attachment to other characters, or showed how others cared about him. Never made him heroic and flawed and a beautiful, screwed up, dysfunctional mess who isn’t all that different than Sam and Dean. Never had him grow or change or do anything startling. 

He’s not some one-note plot device whose time has played out, a “magic button,” a deus ex machina, a quick fix who has made Sam and Dean’s ongoing dangerous, twisting, rough road suddenly too easy. He’s a full-fledged character who fights on even when all the odds are stacked against him, one who displays pain, joy, rage, disillusionment, love, confusion, and crisis of faith or conscience. He’s lives the proverb about falling down seven times, getting up eight, and he embodies a number of themes that are part of Supernatural’s DNA.
