† ; as the writer, what is it that truly draws you to castiel's character? - what about him inspires you to write for him?
I’ve already been asked this before, but I feel that it can never stop being answered. This answer could linger on for several paragraphs, but I’d like to describe it thoroughly, coherent, and short if possible.
I am a dear fan of complex characters. From Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes, and even Dean Winchester to an extent. Sometimes, even, as more than a writer, my own characters and muses and the sort can inspire me as a person. Each and every one of these unique sets of personalities have been there with me through really hefty times. Supernatural has always been very dear to me. However, it was originally Castiel that had drawn me to watch it in the first place.
I love him most for his character development. He was a loyal soldier, who blindly followed faith. I believe he would have followed blindly to the point he made despicable actions, murder being off the table, though. However, if you glance at him in recent episodes — you notice he turned away from his own faith. He disobeyed his own brethren, broke out of the brainwash and chose to act upon his own freewill. He doesn’t know who to trust. At this point, it seemed like he was keeping the tablet from everyone — including the Winchester’s, because he knew they’d be in just as much threat as him if they possessed it.
As for inspiration to write him — First, I’d need to quote Misha Collins himself:
The philosophical underpinnings of my approach to acting are that there are universal human qualities, and that every character is actually available within each one of us, that if we tap down into that universal humanness, we can find whatever character it is that we need to play already there within ourselves, and it’s just a matter of peeling apart the onion that is you and finding that character within you, because of this universal human quality.
I respect Castiel’s immense efforts, loyalty, appreciation for humankind even if it has done nothing in return for him but grow. I have gone through pain just as he has. I have done a complete 360 with my thought process — and decided I will no longer follow blindly for appreciation, let alone because I am neglecting the free will that even an Angel possesses. Castiel always had a choice at freewill, that’s why he left his faith for something he cared for more. And it is truly inspiring to see an angel who believed ‘Explaining freedom to angels is a bit like teaching poetry to fish’ suddenly handle and discover the meaning of freewill. And because of this, I feel like it is my sworn duty to do this character justice.
I think that he is not only the definition of character development, but he teaches us, as a whole, when it is okay to speak for yourself.
It appears that Castiel has returned to me after watching the first few episodes of Supernatural, so my muse will be a lot more active. I know, I have made a lot of broken promises to return, but my activity will be much more frequent as of late. I hope I can pick this blog up off the ground, and I hope I will have the muse to start up new threads in place of the ones are apparent to have been dropped. Sorry for the hold up on replying to the little threads I have.
Ow. Well, that was uncalled for. SPN fan videos both jumpstarted my muse as well as breaking my heart. It really really hurts. I imagine you can expect me online for the day.
Oh, okay. Apparently I have lost 5 followers in less than a day. That's not a surprise, however. I haven't been the most active in the park. I have been really losing my muse, as of late. Not just my Castiel muse, but my RP muse all together. I will try to remain active, for I have never enjoyed playing a character as much as I do this one. You see, moving has really drained my energy and willpower to conjure up a reply. I really do want to, and have been feeling incredibly guilty and selfish about not at least /trying./ Then again, it would be better to have not replied at all, than give you a half-attempted paragraph. I am trying, really hard, and I'll attempt to get on replies tomorrow.
outofcharacter. Okay — so. It’s been brought to my attention that whomever has taken the url for [ divinelydeluded ] has not only taken the password, but is now recreating the account in the persona that Roxanne would.
THIS IS NOT ROXANNE. THIS IS NOT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF DIVINELYDELUDED.
This is a copy. This is a fake. This is someone impersonating her old account.
I don’t care what kind of business went down prior to, but it is NOT okay to take someone’s url and pose as not only the writer, but as a character that they’ve put months of work into. Two WRONGS do not make a RIGHT. It isn’t funny, it isn’t a game.
If you are the individual that took the url, then I’m asking you — please relinquish the url and give it back. I’m not going to support one or the other in sides over what happened with the traits. I’m speaking with Roxanne right now — so I know that it isn’t her.
EVERYONE ELSE: Please do not follow this account. Please do not interact with it.
He has grown wary of hope; the glass cage in which has concealed him from the option of choice-- his faith was walking upon shards of glass, and he has seen the face of guilt & rebellion far too often. He has seen the chassis of creation and all of it's structure-- and the only thing he did to deserve punishment for his ' lack of faith, ' was attempting to preserve humanity.
-- the similarity in traits could be compared to a close or exact match; as he in turn wished to be [ believed ] in.
The frost's bite came as a surprise to him; the brooding state contorting to nothing but confusion that was as recognizable as the reflection you see staring back at you upon water--.
"Excuse me--"
the simple words were offered with nothing more than a pique of interest; not tang of malice ringing in his voice; the action attempting to be traced back to a face.
outofgrace. I swear---- I don't even care what clothes I wear in the morning. But put two themes in my face, and I sit there for two hours tweaking and staring at them.
