When I see someone new to the Supernatural fandom spelling ‘Cas’ with the extra ‘S’
A lot of feelings and opinions. All of them valid. But may I also enter these into evidence:
I mean if anyone is an expert on all things Cas, it’s him

when you're watching supernatural in the dark and the angels get smitey
The thing is that when Cas first laid a hand on Dean in hell he was lost, and not actually because "For the first time, I feel". Cas had felt before he knew Dean. We know this because we know Cas had rebelled before. Naomi tells us Cas never did as he was told—that Cas had a "Crack in the chassis straight off the line" (something Chuck later echoes in a rage).
Cas's rebellion is far older than Dean and that rebellion is a function of what he feels. Cas just doesn't get to remember feeling. Each time he does, he's stripped of the memory of it... but subconsciously he starts to understand it as something he must keep secret.
Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul?
Cas is in love with humanity, and we conflate this with Dean because Dean is the narrative heart, and the subject of Cas's greatest love, and because the concept of humanity and Dean are so deeply linked they're almost one in the same. We are not at all wrong to conflate the two, but make no mistake—Cas is in love humanity.
You misunderstand me, Dean, I’m not like you think. I was praying that you would choose to save the town.
Cas calls humanity a work of art, and the camera pans to Dean sitting on the bench beside him. Dean represents humanity. Not just as precious works of art, but also because humans get to feel. Humans don't get lobotomized for feeling. Dean encourages Cas to feel. He encourages Cas to feel by asking him to—begging him to, and by feeling for others, and by existing and deserving to be loved himself.
Dean echoes free will to Cas like a call from the wild. He's the beauty of humanity. He's the liberation and beautiful terror of choice. The reason "You always have a choice" and "There is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it" works is because Cas already feels, already hopes, already loves.
You were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna warn me about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible camp. Help me -- now. Please.
The function by which Dean gets through to Cas is through Cas's own feelings and convictions. He gets through because Cas is "not a hammer, as you say". Cas has questions. Cas has doubts.
Cas is in love with humanity, and every time he remembers it, he gets packed off to Bible Camp and he forgets. But he can remember again. What it takes is a push. What it takes is a hand reached out in the darkness. The day Cas rescued Dean from hell, two people were saved. A hand clawed out toward Cas too, breaking through his own torturous prison and offering him escape. For the first time in a long time, he felt.
Dean's importance is that he touches Cas. He makes Cas remember. And he keeps making Cas remember. Through touch, through words, through the expression of his own affection for Cas and for others. Because Dean cares, Cas cares.
did jensen’s NDA expire or what
I don't know what's funnier. that jack looks like dean and cas' love child. or that jack's jacket looks like dean's shirt and cas' trenchcoat love child
And the shirt! Black+white=gray
When is a coincidence not a coincidence? Maybe when the “coincidences” come in threes???
Guys, at this point I’m 99% positive that this is just Cas’s sense of humor coming out.
I think Cas fully understands what Dean means when he asks “What’s the word, Cas?”
Cas’s sense of humor = amusement at absurdities. The tower of Babel was a pile of dung. I comforted the pig before the slaughter. The coyote is man and the roadrunner is God, trapped in an endless cycle. What the hell? Guess again. You breed with the mouth of a goat.
Cas understands language and Dean’s slang just fine. This is his idea of a joke.
And his delivery is always so deadpan that it’s hard to tell when he’s making a joke. Cas’s sense of humor is really rather subtle, and I find it freaking hilarious that people think he doesn’t understand sarcasm or jokes. Sure he does. He uses sarcasm several times over the course of the series. Granted, he doesn’t always use it correctly, especially when he’s having trouble actually communicating what he’s trying to say - I think he gets flustered - but he gets it.
His sense of humor is just a trifle offbeat. I think that’s probably just what happens when you’re thousands of years old. Obscure things start seeming really fucking hilarious.
And Dean’s reaction? I think he kinda looks like he’s not sure if Cas is joking or not, but just to be on the safe side, he goes ahead and rephrases his question.
The real tragedy of this show is that nobody gets Cas’s jokes.
Yes! And I just remembered that in “Survival of the Fittest”, Dean says:
Dean: Hey, there. So, Cas, what’s, uh, what’s the word? Cas: Well, Dean, I’ve been thinking. Monkeys… are so clever, and their sensible in that they leave the skins on the bananas that they eat. Is it really necessary to test cosmetics on them? I mean, how important is lipstick to you, Dean?
Personally, I think Cas takes the question, “What’s the word, Cas?” as an open invitation to troll the shit out of Dean Winchester.
Ben Edlund is pretty much the only writer who really keeps Cas’s sense of humor consistent, in my opinion. So many of the other writers assume Cas is just completely literal-minded when that’s not always the case. Cas is a real wiseass. Remember his exchange with Raphael.
CASTIEL Are you joking?
RAPHAEL Do I look like I’m joking?
CASTIEL You never look like you’re joking.
That’s angel humor for you, because Cas never looks like he’s joking either. Like this.
DEAN You know, I’m starting to think junkless has a better sense of humor than you do. CASTIEL Uriel’s the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone.
Cas is the funniest angel in the garrison. Nobody gets it. That’s the joke.
Think of future Cas’s snarkiness - that’s just Cas’s normal sense of humor on vitamins and with an extra dose of passive-aggressiveness. Which is why I sometimes think that orgy comment was simply Cas, as flutiebear puts it, trolling the shit out of Dean Winchester.
YES! And I don’t get the whole “Cas doesn’t get sarcasm” thing either. This is the guy who deadpanned that brilliant line about Uriel being the funniest angel in the garrison; the same one who deadpanned bitchiness at Dean’s self-centeredness with his “your problems always come first”. Why have we forgotten about that?
OMG. Somebody besides me finally GETS it!
“you breed with the mouth of a goat” actually made him laugh aloud, which is why I think it made him more nervous to explain than amused; could you look Dean Winchester in the eye and say “you talk dirty during sex” (which is what the joke means, not that you get farmyard oral)?
We got werepire wedding before jackles tapes
It was Jensen!!
happy pride month
