yes we hate chuck, chuck bad, evil capricious god BUT. just know i am also always contemplating a world where s15 chuck was not actually chuck but the Empty posing as Chuck and the Empty was actually the big bad of s15 all along and Chuck and Amara never actually returned to earth after they zapped away to rebuild their relationship at the end of s11. (also yes this means s15 Amara was also the Empty. LIKE what the point of having a big bad that can morph into anyone if not to use them to fake out and pretend to be other people??) also, the Empty-as-Chuck bringing back Lucifer in 15x19 to fuck with Dean by first pretending to be Cas like.....the Empty is having a BALL messing with them, Dean specifically. The Empty has had it out for Cas, Dean, and Jack since s13 for messing with them and fucking up their realm of sleep and despair with their pesky free will, and love, and hope. All of that piercing through its veil, making everything loud and bright. They just want to get back to sleep. They want Everyone to sleep, so nothing can interfere with it again. So first they vanish all the people of earth. Then they get rid of Cas. Then they put the Winchesters to "sleep" in fake worlds. Sam imagines he grows old and lives a whole life (but like dreams, the details are fuzzy. Blurry.) And Dean? Dean goes to "heaven" but the world is "off" and he notices immediately.
