three is the number thou shalt count

1) My post after the next one is gonna be this journal's 500th. Woah? How shall I celebrate. Picspam? Commentficfest? Round-robin free-for-all?

2) Another thing I wrote for the Cas party: The Other Makes You Tall | SPN; Dean, Cas; PG13. Quoth the prompt, "5.04 'verse. The first time Castiel tries drugs after he's de-angeled doesn't go too well. Dean talks him down." ~653 words

3) Supernatural 5x16. My face through the whole episode was like D: .

+ IT WASN'T PERFECT UNTIL SHE DIEDfdjslkfjd

+ This episode both jossed AND kripked my 'Castiel finds God in Manila' WIP. Does fandom getting kripked happen so often because the show panders to us, or because we and the creators are cut out of the same dorky cloth?

+ There are only a few episodes to which I have flailingly reacted "OH SAAAAAM OH DEEEEAAAAN OH BROTHERRRRS" and this one has joined the ranks of that. The fireworks scene was rilly rilly sad omg, heeaaartbreaking. The look on Dean's FACE. Little Sam being all like THIS IS THE BEST. This is all Dean wants in life! (In death?) But what Sam wants is to live in a world of his own making, exerting independence. BUT JOHN'S NOT THE ONLY ONE YOU GOT AWAY FROM, SAM. And "Give me a minute," fjlkdsjfkld. AND MARY NEVER CUT SAM'S CRUSTS.

+ The AMULET and its CHAIN OF REJECTION. <3333333

+ I love how impatient Cas was. The apocalypse is still happening, he still hasn't found God, the Winchesters died AGAIN, and goddamn he has had it up to here. To HERE.

+ I want the episode coda where Castiel has an epic sulk somewhere terrible and beautiful where mortals/humans cannot go. On distant planets, floating through space, in the heart of suns, in complex dimensions, different divine planes; etc. Actually, you know where he was probably going at the end of this episode? To Scully. \o/

+ When Cas was emoing around the motel room at the end, do you think Dean was experiencing outsider POV to himself of years past, or deja vu because he saw Sam go through this before? Either way, it makes sense that it's Sam who reaches out to Cas. Dean's bought this t-shirt, and look where the hell it got him. He knows there's not much you can say or do when your foundations crumble. He and Cas have both just lost their last stable ground. Sam is still feeling guilty about how his idea of a good time is apparently abandoning the people he loves, so he's projecting onto Cas and reaching out. Yeah, nice try.

+ It's like the people Dean loves eventually become the Impala.

+ Highlarious 'Previously on', and excellent lead-in to the title!

+ HEAVEN IS THE MATRIX, right down to the brick in the windows. Haha, oh SHOW.

+ Everybody leaves Dean. ...Except Cas? Well, SO FAR. If there was ever a fork in the road and one of the paths leads to Croatverse Cas, here's one of the milestones. I guess Croatverse Cas stays with Dean though, for better and worse.

+ Zach was such a delightful Bond villain, yaaaay. HE IS PETTY. <3

+ Much like Mufasa, God wants Sam and Dean to remember. I WONDER WHO'LL PLAY GOD WHEN HE ACTUALLY SHOWS UP.

+ "We got Ash killed too." / "I'm cool with it!" / "He's cool with it."
"I don't wanna be a downer, but I'm sure I will see you again soon."

+ lol awkward lingering camera shot of soulmatery

+ Sam's resurrection gasp is the hilariousest.

+ Here is Edmond Jabès writing about Castiel: "For those who are in love with the absolute, obsessed by eternity, turning to God to adore or destroy Him means reaching the depth of human anguish. For we are desperately driven to claim responsibility for the death of God in order to love Him more than ourselves, against ourselves. A great love carries within it a mourning for love."


This episode just twisted and twisted the knife. I cannot wait to see where these characters are going.


ETA: 4) I'm having trouble with this 3800-word fic about Cas and Becky hanging out. Anyone wanna look it over and give some input?
