i got a question about supernatural
when people read (well, most people) there’s that little voice inside your head that pretty much reads what youre reading “outloud” inside your head. or youre doing it subconsciously even if you dont hear every single word, and you still understand what a paragraph means without having to read it actually outloud with your voice
if we wrote the exorcism incantation and gave it to a demon to read it (and forcefully make him finish and read the incantation with the right “pronunciation”) instead of someone else saying it outloud, would he exorcise himself?
so why dont hunters write the whole incantation everywhere, you might ask? Bobby couldve done that in every single wall of his house and demons wouldnt have been able to show up at all. right?
WELL IF i knew something could kill / hurt / exorcise me id want to learn it in every single possible way so i dont get caught off guard right? maybe they just learned the first sentence of the incantation in different languages, and when they recognize it they stop reading before finishing it
because when angels write the sigils on the walls to blow away every other angel, it still affects them. like when Cas carved one into his body and went to fight angels so Dean could get to Adam, or when he did it to save Sam and Dean’s asses (like usual)
so maybe with the demon thing it’s the same? i mean maybe it only works when someone else says it outloud. but the DEMON is possessing ANOTHER PERSON’S body, so who’s reading it “outloud” in their heads is ACTUALLY someone else, NOT the demon.
but sam and dean and hunters all over couldve used that against demons everywhere, you say?
lets take meg for an example. even if they talked to the REAL meg, demon meg wouldve figured out what was going on and take over human meg’s body again and stop her from reading or chanting
when Bobby got possessed. he couldve done something about it if he knew right? instead of attacking sam and almost killing himself in the process. well he could break through a bit, but when youre about to murder someone you consider your own son, i dont think youd think straight even if you could break through for a moment. which makes him stabbing himself almost immediately the first thing he could think of as the real bobby to save his “son”
besides the incantation takes some time and he had no time to actually stop the demon while being controlled by it so he took the next doable action to stop both himself and the demon inside him
