I like angels without God for a few reasons--I think God also unbalances the story, and his absence from exactly where you expect him, from his not designed for facets original creations conjures more questions than us without him--I can theorise that we were created to grow to a point where we don't need him anymore because we are in his image, but what if he doesn't clean up after himself? Are they our crossing guards? Chamber maids? What drives and rewards them?
And I never really articulated that angle before, but that's what I'd been getting out of the show through the end of S6. And I'm good with that. In fact, it gives the story more reason to go past S5 for me.
I irritated myself by reading a fic I knew had the potential, but I'm just chilling myself out with two things a) I knew she was doing this to John and b) maybe this is just the John she needs for the story, not the John she sees in the show.
Nevertheless, fuck this John:
It’s also that Sam’s point about their father, about how unimportant Dean and Sam had been to him, is still eating at him. He can’t stop thinking about it. And not just in an all over… haunting type of way, every once in a while something sticks him like a goddamn knife. He’d known that his father was possessed because he’d told Dean he was proud of him. He’d called his father for help a hundred times and he’d been ignored. He’d had a son that he’d actually taken out for father-son things that didn’t involve knives and gore and never told Dean that he had another younger brother.
Why you gonna make him out of canon? What'd he do to deserve that? Die to save Dean or something? Sam reach a point where he could articulate both forgiveness and love for him? Pfah. Irrelevant.
Excuse me while I go post to [link] It's been way too long.
