hey! i'm posting this across pretty much all my social medias lol.

SO. i'm a college student, right. and i have exactly one semester left. and my financial aid isn't enough to cover the entirety of my last semester (i'm about $2500 short). and i'm kind of in a tight spot because a guy hit our family's car and we just had to get a new one (the old one still runs, but damages cost money to fix and we need transportation. never live in rural mountain areas guys), and obviously there are bills to pay as well, and on top of studying i'm also kind of looking after my elderly cancer patient father all the time. everything is just kind of hitting at the same time.

so everything's devolving very quickly into a mess right now! i'm already making a list of things i can sell haha. and like, that's fine, we'll figure it out, it's not an emergency. but if you're feeling generous and are an enjoyer of my many ramblings or whatever, i made a kofi. absolutely no pressure at all, but i'd appreciate anything immensely. thank you for reading! :)

edit: my cashapp is also here, if that's easier on anyone. :)

wait i just saw someone in 2025 accuse michael of torturing sam alongside lucifer in hell and that's very funny to me not only because there's no evidence of that but also because michael simply did not give a single flying fuck about sam. like michael is many things and cruel is definitely one of them (though 99% of the examples of cruelty we saw from him on the show were actually directed at other angels. take anna's brutal death vs. lilith's painless death—he even gave her a WARNING!—for example. or the powers of his lance in 12x12 just exploding a demon but making an angel stabbed with it suffer slowly and painfully) but he DID express explicit disapproval for mistreatment of human vessels all the way back in 5x13. i mean he very clearly said "you know, unlike my brothers, i won't leave you a drooling mess when i'm done wearing you." and the sentiment itself didn't come from him being a good person as we would define it, moreso just him being superior to all the other angels and a "good son", but the precedent is there. and it's very much just a Him Thing because it's not like he ever stepped in when other angels did it to their vessels (case in point: raphael and donnie finnerman).

the only thing you could actually accuse him of is just being a bystander while it was happening, which, like, yeah he very much was lol. but also he had his own vessel to deal with (and although jake abel did describe their relationship as "hostile" at first, i do think all signs within the show itself point to michael still completely hiding adam from sight when in possession of his body. remember in 15x08 when lilith approached adam and referred to him as "michael" even though it was very much adam at the forefront of the body? or the fact that lucifer never once brought up adam in the show even though that would've been a great taunting point? there was a scene in a s11 production script of him bringing up adam, but it never actually happened in the show. So. Conclusions can be drawn) and, again, honestly probably just did not care about what was happening on That Side Of The Cage (dude literally just failed his entire life's mission because of sam, too). again: what other angels do with their vessels is Not His Problem. the only thing he was concerned about back then was making sure that HE was a good son and set a good example.

so y'know. bystander? 100%. he even says it himself when he gets pissy about dean calling him "mike" in 15x08: "Sam. You look well. Last time I saw you in the Cage…" but active participant? nah. otherwise sam would've been hallucinating michael right alongside hallucifer. like michael's still an asshole but he had some standards before he started caring about adam and absolutely nobody else lmao. he only approves of torture if it helps achieve a goal (making an example out of angels who disobey with anna, with the lance, etc., everything in 5x18, and so on) not for fun or revenge like lucifer does. so i think the show made it very clear that his hands are technically clean of anything to do with sam and everything sam endured in hell was all due to lucifer.

[adammilligan]

the main evidence people try to point to for this is the speculation from characters in s6 who naturally assumed that because lucifer was 100% torturing sam in the cage that michael would've naturally joined in. And like. Guys that was just speculation. That was speculation from characters who were not familiar with michael outside of him being the tyrannical overlord viceroy of heaven, specifically. there's zero evidence that michael ever even interacted with him down there and way more evidence that michael just completely ignored him and left him to suffer by lucifer's hand. which. like. he's a dick of an archangel (ESPECIALLY back then) whose apocalypse had recently blown up in his face by sam yanking all four of them into the cage in the first place so that tracks. not his vessel not his problem. but the s6 speculation was still just speculation.

[adammilligan]

it's very fun to imagine midam having an emotional reunion when michael comes back to life but i do think it'd more along the lines of michael being a sad wreck reminiscent of his behavior in 15x19 but worse somehow despite reuniting and adam would just be like :) cool you're back! and not even begin to actually get into how hollow and empty and lost he would've felt waking up without michael for the first time in over a thousand years until years down the line. Like michael would descend on his place of residence and adam would look up and be like Hey man i wondered where you were :) Get in here stop shaking this place. And the conversation would go something along the lines of 15x08 where adam asked if michael was going to go back to heaven and michael had his whole "in so many ways i'm alone" line to which adam had that little "Well Alright Then" facial expression before going "same here." the whole thing would be a very....functional affair. adam would ask michael where he was in that same easygoing tone he used (and no eye contact while he asks it) and michael would calmly (NOT rigidly michael doesn't speak rigidly we need to kill the notion that michael speaks like a walking thesaurus please. HE DOESN'T) traumadump the events of 15x19 and they will both just roll with it. And through all of this they will be marked by a sense of clinginess reminiscent of an iron grip that resulted from the both of them developing severe separation anxiety because of the rapture thank you and goodnight

[adammilligan]

i think that moment in 5x18 when sam catches adam trying to sneak out and adam literally whips around to glare at him sooo indignantly it’s kind of hilarious because like. for a second there it’s like he forgot that they were literally trapping him there. like in that moment there was nothing but irritation and it was so fucking funny

[adammilligan]

pardon the quality. but your honor i’d die for him

[adammilligan]

actually i'm so out of the loop on spnblr lingo guys what's the horse glue factory from

[adammilligan]

reading other people's posts about the spn con with jackles and misha collins is really doing nothing but making me very grateful for the fact that the midam corner of the fandom had jabel lmao. Like fundamentally he's still Just Some Guy Playing A Couple Of Characters but it was nice to have an actor actually lean into the dynamic of the characters and say shit like "adam and michael sexy time playlist while they’re in the cage would be......alanis morissette’s jagged little pill, front to back, singing every fucking word. cuz you know it’s an angsty, you know what i mean? it’s raw. they get that shit raw. i am so sorry if there are children in the audience.” in his panels instead of. what the former two are saying

[adammilligan]

eighteen minute mark and iirc this is the same panel where he made the omegaverse joke about knotting himself up. like he did know and understand the audience you gotta give him props. and to be entirely fair this is the same man who was talking about reading slash fanfiction in 2013 and went "it's canon now!" after talking about adam and michael fucking on adam's birthday. the man knew how to have fun and have fun he did!

i miss christian keyes as au!michael. truly my favorite insane genocidal tyrant nobody played au!michael like he did

[michaelmilligan]

WAIT. In the 15x08 script, Adam says John told him he was a truck driver, right. But in Jump The Shark, Ghoul says something along the lines of 'I thought dad was a mechanic'.

And I know the reason for this mismatch is probably that the S15 writers didn't watch the show but. In universe. Was Ghoul just fucking with Sam and Dean? Because he knew John wasn't a freaking truck driver. He knew full well John was a hunter. So was he like 'Hm what job could I tell them John told me... what would be fun?' And then went 'uwu but I thought he was a mechanic though? How do you die 'on the job' as a mechanic, Dean? Can you explain this to me because I am just a cute little guy who doesn't know anything. 🥺'

And, well. It worked.
