[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Angels have always been asexual in my thinking.
Bu they have been petty, mean, vengeful, and selfish? I guess I just don't get drawing the line at sex. An expression of love and/or pleasure seems a lot less dubious to me than an angel who wants to move up the chain of command, for instance, and is willing to sacrifice billions of human lives to do it.
Up until the end of Changing Channels, he was the Trickster, Loki, god of mischief. Angel-seeming wasn't retroactive for me, I wasn't even sure I bought the reveal. He didn't appear having re-assumed his angelic mantle until Hammer of the Gods. He's always been the Trickster, and was that until Hammer of the Gods, where the only sexual interaction he had was with another god.
I look at Uriel, at Anna post-grace, at Michael in both vessels, even at Lucifer in The End, and none of them have an iota of humanity, let alone sex about them. Castiel is the same, whether riding Claire or Jimmy. They're just too alien a being. Sex with a human--with any being--is unthinkable. Castiel was becoming more humanized, and the squick had completely disappeared in The End. But there was no angel left--he was by then almost completely human. Zachariah is repulsive, but even when he was attempting to gross Sam and Dean out by coming on to his version of Mary, he wasn't remotely sexual, it was a perversion of the human perception of sex.
Misha is completely adorable, and Castiel is an intriguing and compelling character. I get that people want to get pretty boys together, and most of the time I'm all there. But for me personally, I just don't see the slash potential with angels. I realize I'm probably a minority of one.
On a different topic, bets on who Sampa was talking to?
Bets on how long he stays on the show? Past halfway through the season?
He's always been the Trickster, and was that until Hammer of the Gods, where the only sexual interaction he had was with another god.
You do get that you're wedging canon into that asexuality you prefer, right? Because even if it's a retcon, Gabe's sexuality in Tall Tales is on the record.
I like "Sampa". Did you just invent it?
I want Sampa (best name EVER!) to be talking to Crowley.
Ooh, Crowley. Best idea I've heard yet.
If I work at it I can blunt my instinctive squick to canon angel sex? It's a concept.
After he hung up the phone I asked D, "ooh, do you think he was talking to Crowley?"
He is King of the Crossroads, and was wiley enough to get a hold of Death's scythe. He might have the pull to get a hold of Samuel (who was in Hell, not Heaven!) and his payment in return for keeping Sampa and Sammy of the pit is payment in powerful munsters.
I'm hoping for new character. That just seems better to me.
