This Was The Moment Where My Ears Really Pricked Up As A First Time Watcher Of Supernatural. I Loved

This was the moment where my ears really pricked up as a first time watcher of Supernatural. I loved this whole episode, but this reveal from Cas twigged me to the whole concept that the characters were living a written narrative in-universe rather than, for want of a better phrase, a normal life. I went from enjoying the characters and watching along gamely to being fully invested in the overall story arc in the few seconds filled by this exchange of dialogue.

Watching the show with my mum, she kept complaining during the early seasons that the boys shook off too many serious injuries, too many no-win scenarios, too many fights where they were outgunned, not to mention death itself. And I was like... "I think that's maybe the whole point...maybe?" I was confident by the end of season 2 that there was a concrete reason for Sam and Dean's ever-escalating battle, a purpose to the impossible odds and narrow scrapes that went beyond the bog-standard, handwaved Plot Armour of the average TV protagonists. Castiel showing up at the start of S4 to reveal that God wanted Dean saved from Hell seemed to answer the question - then quickly didn't, as it became apparent that the angels are not only dicks to each other and humanity, but don't really know what's what either - they just believe they do.

Supernatural ended up taking this storyline - the meta story about stories, cycles, free will, and the monster at the end of this book - so much further than I could've hoped, and I loved every second of it.

I love Claire and Cas, both of them groping for shreds of grace and humanity and connection in the most fucked-up situation imaginable. I love that Claire's both drawn to Cas and unafraid to tell him how he's harmed her; that she knows she needs to walk away for her own sake and sanity; I love that he's - once he thinks of getting involved - instantly paternal over her without knowing how it's supposed to feel or how anything in a young woman's life should be, or even what she looked for in Jimmy as her father - and that he lets her go instead of trying to hold on when it could only hurt her more.

WHERES THE ANGEL? YOU'RE HIM is such an insane exchange. Because It means that all the Purgatory monsters were gossiping about 1) Dean Winchester being locked in Purgatory and 2) frantically running around the monster land looking for his angel.

How embarrassing for him😭

Marvel in 2011: Happy birthday!Loki.Let's take a look at your life. You were born to be a villain. This is the path we’ve laid out for you, and you must accept this fate.

Loki: Fine .

Loki fans: Fuck you Marvel. Let’s give him a hug.

Marvel: Oh no, we didn’t see that coming. How did you do that?

Loki: I didn’t do anything. I’m just doing my job as a villain (tears in his eyes, slightly red-rimmed).

Marvel: Fine, whatever, continue your mission. Take this scepter and have fun in New York.

Loki: Fine.

Loki fans: Oh my god, Loki's design in this movie is so cool. Wait, why does he look off? Fuck you, Marvel.

Marvel: How did you… never mind. Anyway, you’ve completed your transformation from fallen prince to villain. It’s time for redemption, just die in TDW.

Loki:Fine

Loki fans: Fuuuckkk you, Marvel！

Marvel: We’ve lost control of this guy’s popularity. What happened? Taika Waititi, can you help us?

Taika: No problem, Let me see, Loki is the God of Mischief because of his psychological trauma? Because he is the neglected youngest son? Just remove this, make him the bully of Asgard, turn him into a straightforward villain, and no one will care about him anymore. It's too simple.

Marvel: This guy must be a genius.

Taika:' Boasts in interviews about giving Loki a new personality.'

Loki fans, who’ve followed his story for six years and are confused by his behavior in Thor 3: Fuck you,Marvel. Fuck you, Taika.

Marvel: What’s going on!?

Taika: Bro, you should have changed his character earlier. It’s too late now, I can’t handle this. I’m out.BYE.

Marvel: We give up. We’ll just kill you at the beginning of the movie. Don’t blame us, it’s for everyone’s good.

Loki fans: FFFUUUUUUUCCCKK YYYOOOOUUUU, MARVEL. You made his death meaningless! Stabbing Thanos with a butter knife? Really???FUCK YOU.

Marvel: Fine, fine, you win. Loki, do whatever you want.

Loki：(Makes some friends, finds a family that accepts him, and ultimately sacrifices himself to protect them. Forever alone, but deeply fulfilled)
