ranting. very negative towards castiel sorry
s6e22. castiel when i get you. he’s actually such a fucking dipshit. i know you need to stop Raphael, i fucking know that. no one wants the apocalypse. but you could, like several angels have said before, MAKE AN ARMY. not CRACK OPEN PURGATORY AND BECOME THE VESSEL EVERY EVIL SOUL THERE IS. are you stupid? some monsters may no be evil, but a majority of them are based of instinct. and instinct is to kill, eat, survive. the rest are evil or trying to suppress it. but your just too good for that huh? you can take it on and destroy Jimmy Novak once again? you can gamble earth’s safety for this?
in the apocalypse, at least a majority of people will survive. If you blow up and a chunk of earth explodes, just as much people will die. you can’t just live without a chunk of earth.
and then the AUDACITY to break down Sam’s wall and say “when this is over, i will save Sam” knowing damn well HE CAN’T. He’s going to put Sam through the memories of centuries of trauma to make him catatonic. you are using sam’s trauma and dean’s protectiveness against them. your exploiting their vulnerability to get them out of your way. you are threatening the planets well being, every loves well being, heaven and hells well being, your friends well being, sam’s soul, DEAN’s well being. everyone’s well being just so you have a chance of winning a war against something you had other choices to do.
what mostly bothers me though is the smaller stuff. on a grand scale, all of what he is doing is wrong but can be “justified” by the greater good: stopping the apocalypse from restarting. but the small things like lying to your friends? letting crowley kidnap Dean’s only people outside of hunting? breaking down sam’s wall and releasing centuries of rape, or torture, but Lucifer and micheal to save some time? especially knowing damn well you CANNOT save Sam. and phrasing it like that pisses me off too. “i’ll save sam.” from what? from you? from what you just unlocked and put him through? dean has been carefully avoiding this and your just going to smash that wall go bits(not even break a bit off, no, he has to destroy the whole dam).
his “god” complex comes before he gets his purgatory souls. Crowley literally uses it against him several times. crowley knows and exploits that—sure he gets beaten up a few times and castiel does argue, but you can see castiel (more or less) preen at the fantasy. he may not want to rule over everyone— after all, he wants what Anna (the other angel he killed) wanted! “Free will”! only his version of it. he doesn’t even know what free will is. he knows the idea of it, the fantasy of it, but not what it really is. Castiel wants to be a new God. a “better” God that promotes “free will”.
cute and all by why does it have to be him, hmm? “it just has to be” he says but why. because your all good intentions? i remember just like a season or two ago you were judging a certain someone for a situation not quite parallel to this(because he knows what he is doing and truly thinks he’s just so so good). he’s such a hypocrite.
he even compares himself to Jesus 😭 (“Apparently, we have a Judas in your midst” when he is talking to Baltazar, comparing Baltazar to Judas and himself to Jesus). not quite directly, instead using it as a metaphor, but Cas could’ve said Brutus. or a traitor. just kind of solidifies that he thinks he’s all good.
