(Or the canon reason Cas will finally be happy, then be immediately taken to the Empty because this is Supernatural and we can’t have nice things)
“ I know who you love, there is nothing for you back there x
“When you finally give yourself permission to be happy and let the sun shine on your face that’s when I’ll come to drag you to nothing”.
Remember also Castiel 12x10:
How coincidental that Lily Sunder appears in this episode where all this comes together to remind us that not only does Cas love someone but he feels it is unreciprocated and wrong for him to love a human romantically in the first place so he holds back and doesn’t give himself permission to be happy.
*Tink stares into the camera*
1. “I know who you love, there is nothing for you back there” - unreciprocated love.
2. I should not romantically love a human - the sacred oath.
3. If Cas finally gets over these two things then he will be happy. But oh NO this is when he will get dragged away into nothingness!
*insert shocked drama face* *this is totally not what we expect from this show* *angsty man pain after giving us a glimmer of hope? Never!* *especially given Meredith literally did this in this episode giving us smiling happy TFW then ripping it all away as a foreshadowing mirror*
Why does this all tie in together perfectly?
Hint: Maybe, just maybe it’s that the thing that would make him happiest is that his feelings are reciprocated and that he allows himself to have this.
Which means the only logical outcome to this entire canonical plot point set up over a year ago and now coming to the forefront is that he will find out his feelings are reciprocated, that Dean does love him, as different, more than the current brother and “family” love, that it is romantic, that he will allow himself to have this love and not feel guilty for it, only to immediately get dragged away to nothingness to set up for Dean pain and the “getting him back” standard AF closing arc of romance stories.
