I’m a little confused. Chuck says he can’t see the Winchesters right now, but somehow he still can manipulate their lives? Did Becky clear his Godly Gaze with the power of positive thinking, or did I miss something?

I’ve been thinking of it as one of those same sorts of hand-wavey “we’re telling you this is the current status quo” things, like they’ve done with Cas’s power levels and abilities at any given time, you know? And I think they’re expecting us to extrapolate why and what it means going forward as we get context for it.

Amara has already easily seen that Chuck is... depowered. The bit from the THEN segment ending on Amara’s trip through the thesaurus emphasizing just how weak Chuck is right now was the last word on what’s important to keep in mind going into this episode.

Heck I really really need to write up my notes for this episode. Now if I could get my life to cooperate long enough to let me actually do that >.>

I don’t think Becky did anything for Chuck other than poke at his ego. He had to accept Amara’s judgment of him, because he was too weak to keep up the protest. he’s no threat to her. But Becky? With their history? And her belief that he was just a guy who got picked by God to record some stories that she happened to be obsessed with once upon a time? It’s a strategic manipulation on Chuck’s part, again framing himself as the victim and begging for Becky’s attention and sympathy.

She stated quite clearly that she neither needed nor wanted Chuck anymore, and he made it all about himself, as he does, that nobody needs him. Which, as a guy abandoned by God is one thing, but AS God himself is entirely different. Chuck painted himself as the victim, and let Becky continue to believe the lie, played on her sympathy, the fact she is actually a kind person, and asked for her help.

She humored him for a while, hoping that he would work through whatever was wrong, have his confidence restored, and then go away again. She probably did feel like she at least owed this guy that much, you know? I mean she built her entire life (her career, her hobbies) around the Supernatural books, and she owed that much to Chuck and his writing.

We’re not entirely sure yet what exactly is going on between Chuck and the Winchesters, nor what it means that he can’t “see” them and yet can still influence their lives via his writing. Is any of this limitation on him due to his direct connection to Sam via that wound? We know his loss of power is directly related to that wound, but how exactly is it affecting him?

We saw how it’s affecting Sam (he feels pain when Chuck prods at his wound, as seen in 15.02, and we’ve seen the sort of “nightmares” Sam is suffering through in 15.04), but how else is this wound affecting BOTH of them?

Is any of their current mood, thoughts, powers, etc. being directly affected by the other here?

Honestly, trying to understand it fully is kind of impossible based on the information we have been given so far. Right now we’re left with some interesting problems, but it seems that Chuck is just as confused about his current state as Sam is.

But I think we’re going to learn more about what’s actually going on very soon.

To me you are Tom. Boring, I know, but you’re the only Tom I know, so when I see a cool cat post, I think “Tom would like that!” Or I’ll see something out in the World that reminds me of something you said, “I should tell Tom about that”. (Though when I’m tired my brain sings Tom Tom the Piper’s Son, Tom of the Teeth)

That’s legit. It’s strange to realize that I’ve been giving out my name for long enough to be known by it by folks I haven’t met in person.

Does Jack maybe think it’s standard for humans to cough up blood during a cold?? I mean, humans do tend to leak various fluids for odd reasons with a shrug, so?

Oh no, I think he knows full well that This Is Not Normal. He also acknowledged to Cas that he understands full well why Cas may not have had as much time or attention for Jack and his seemingly mild problems (at least compared with the whole Michael-Building-A-Monster-Army nonsense, the Dean-Kidnapped-By-Michael nonsense, etc.) Jack is pulling the standard Winchester family’s move of playing I’m Fine when he is really not fine.

But he’s also just seen how Cas was unable to heal Lora, and had to revert to witchcraft-- which also failed to heal Lora-- and then only found a cure for her himself via strictly “human” methods of using his wonderful logical brain. He’d seen how Cas had tried his best to save Lora, and how he’d been burdened with the guilt that he’d not been able to save her, which Jack inadvertently compounded by blaming himself and the loss of his own powers for not being able to save her. So there’s multiple motivators for Jack not wanting to add this burden that Cas might not be able to do anything about anyway.

I know exactly why you sent this, and I wanted you to know I’ve enjoyed seeing this cute lil smiley (and the lil yellow emoji face) in my inbox for the last however long it’s been sitting there, but heck, I want to spread the smiley around and smile all over the dash today. So I’m posting it.

@mochisquish​ SAID: LET’S START A REVOLUTION.

YES I think we should!!!!!!

@elderyautjavegeta SAID: ME TOOOOOO. I SHOWED MY BEST FRIEND THE MOVIE THE OTHER DAY AND MAN I MISS MY BOYS.

Dude I can’t believe it’s been nearly 8 years since the movie came out! I’m still sad everyday that we didn’t get a sequel. :( :( 

@ludditeheart SAID: I HAVEN’T WRITTEN ANYTHING SINCE THEN. SOMETHING WAS LOST.

I’ve written a ton of Supernatural but it just doesn’t feel the same. Mannnnnn, I miss the easy flow of the A-Team stories. They just popped out onto my laptop.
