If/When we do get a continuation of SPN I really hope they do the same thing to the timeframe before Dean's death as they did now in the Winchesters S1 finale with him being in heaven and going on a drive. What I mean is I really need them to retroactively give me some reason why we never see him trying to get Cas out of the Empty. Why we never see any of their found family again either. There are real world reasons why it happened but I want in-universe reasons.
Spn Final Positivity Party
It’s the final countdown, my wayward sons and daughters, and everyone needs a little boost of positivity, something to hold on to, something to fuel all the hope vibes. Lucky you, I’m happy to deliver this crazy mixture of some good meta, specs and funny stuff to go through not to lose a smile these days!
For the part 1 of the post click here, all of those are still relevant.

If you have something nice of your own, please do share! We need every single spec and meta for this positivity party to go on!
Look at this part of Misha's latest interview with TV LINE. I know you'll probably hate me, but I just HAD TO.
TV LINE: I talked to Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles about their last day of shooting and how they felt during those final moments. What was that experience like for you on your final day of filming?
"It was super emotional. Just the way the shooting days lined up, I happened to be shooting Castiel's last scene in the show at the very end of the day on my very last day of shooting. So my last scene shot was Castiel's last scene in the series. And that was really potent and emotional. There were a lot of tears all around. I was crying, Cas was crying, the crew was crying. It was really intense. I don't think I'll ever have another character ending like that one, for sure. It was very meaningful, very poignant."
Cas was crying.
Cas was crying.
Cas was crying.
I wonder what that could be...
We're going to lose Castiel forever in a week. Seven days before he goes bye bye.
Let that sink in.
ok but cas telling dean about the deal in the next episode would give us dean mulling over his feelings, deciding what to do, and getting a chance, getting time, to do so. and that means, because he’s seen dean struggling with this news, with coming to terms with it, with finding a way out of it, when cas says “you’ve fought for this whole world” he probably follows that with a ‘you don’t need to fight for me too.’
you know what I absolutely cannot stop thinking about? all the *cas* moments which happened, but we missed this episode.
dean starts to pray, okay, and cas is so surprised, because it's been ages since someone prayed to him, and it's the intense feeling of someone believing in you, someone needing you, someone dedicating their words only and only to you - and that someone's dean; cas almost swoons. the leviathan holding him up scowls.
dean's voice quivers. "i shouldn't have let you go." cas sighs - as he's reminded of the irony in the fact that he's once again being taken away from dean. of course, this time, dean had been knocked unconscious and rendered incapable of stopping him - but hadn't he metaphorically had his hands tied then too? cas sighs, once more, and keeps listening.
its when dean is talking about the anger. his rage - this thing bottled up within, which comes forth when everything goes wrong - and he sounds so vulnerable, and so helpless, and cas is hanging onto every word so dearly that he's quite stunned at himself, in a good way, in a really great way, when he manages to spot the red blossom.
dean says "i forgive you" when cas has just launched on the closest leviathan, taking him out at once. he pauses when dean says it, blinks, but doesn't hesitate to now smite on the one who's charging at him
cas pants, trying to fend off two monsters at the same time. "of course i forgive you." cas kills one, and shoves the other away with all his strength, earning a moment to absorb what dean just said to him.
"i'm so sorry, cas." dean's voice breaks. he's crying. cas starts to run. he has to get away, and he can't fight these all, and he has to get to dean.
he reaches the rift and freezes; dean is nowhere to be seen. he starts to panic. dean's words, his confession, his choked up voice - it makes so much more sense now. dean is in trouble. his life's in danger. that's why he prayed, that's why he said those things, that's why -
cas sinks, against a tree. he buries himself in the cove made by it's overground roots, head in his hands, running dean's words over and over in his head.
he can't stop feeling unjustifiedly angry about the fact that dean only said those things cause he thought this was the last chance he'd ever get to say them. not of his own volition. cause that has to be what happened, right?
and then dean shows up
"you made it." cas breathes out, getting up to his feet.
dean doesn't look hurt. but he does look devastated.
"i made it?" he says, with a unbelieving scoff, and maybe he says something else too, but all cas sees is him coming towards him. "cas." he chokes, and then dean finally, finally reaches him.
dean pulls him into a hug, but it feels more like he pushes himself up against cas. like, for a change, he isn't the one who's hugging, he's the one being hugged. dean's chin gets buried on cas's shoulder, and cas's hands come up around dean.
they haven't been this close to each other in so long. they both thought they'd lost the latter, so they pull each other near - safe. because that's what they are, in each other's arms. safe. saved.
the strange terrain makes cas taller, so it's easier to comfort dean too. when dean pulls back, he's still got his hand on cas's shoulder. like he doesn't want him to move away. like he's not letting him go
cas notices dean's eyes still shine with tears.
and you know what? dean isn't hurt, cas isn't hurt. maybe those words weren't a hurried, adrenaline-driven resort. or a last speech kinda thing. cas feels the thought cool his heart. maybe dean did really mean those things, after all.
jensen, misha and andrew dabb said supernatural is ending we might as well give the gays everything they’ve been wanting for more than a decade
They are killing me with these QOTDs
That quote... "you always see the possibilities in everyone and everything, and you can also picture how it could all fall apart." <--Yeah, okay. I’m fine. Totally fine
That song...For those who don’t know it, here are the lyrics:
In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along <-- @rogueangelshunter This verse feels kind of relevant after our conversation about Lisa the other day...
I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense <--Is anyone more plain or blunt or without pretense than Cas? And it’s not like Cas has straight up said things like, “I love you,” or “You mean too much to me,” or anything like that... And still I feel I said too much <--Tbh, this whole verse just really feel like Dean’s “I need you. You’re family.” vs Cas’s “I love you.” My silence is my self defense <--Deeannnnnnnn
And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose <--since Dean’s always expecting everyone to leave and Cas is always expecting to be made to go...
But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake <-- “I should have stopped you. You’re my best friend, but I just let you go” anyone??? So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows <--Yeah, this whole verse doesn’t have prayer vibes at all
So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break <-- *incoherent noises...*
And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows
***
I am NOT fine. Like it’s seriously worse every day.
*dons clown mask but then lays down pathetically unable to even clown properly at this point* I’m just...*gestures vaguely*...you guys see it right??
Look, I actually can’t even form coherent thoughts right now will someone please come clown with me and say the things?
Spn 15x14 meta and speculation
What was interesting about Mrs. Butters is that, in the end, she didn't renounce her manipulative, misogynistic, bigoted family. There was a small part of me that was hoping she'd throw the framed picture onto the floor in anger when Jack handed it to her.* But she didn't. Instead of hating the MOL for how they brainwashed her into serving them, she decided to forgive them and cherish her memories of them. And then she left to do all the things she never got a chance to do because she was too busy helping others.
Idk, it just struck kind of a nice balance between the two ideas I see warring in fandom so often - one that says you should never leave your family no matter how toxic the codependency, and another that says the only solution to codependency is to junk the relationship completely in exchange for another one.
I've already seen meta about how Mrs. Butters was a Dean mirror, and I agree with that take. But I also think that she could easily function as a mirror for both Sam and Dean. They are both, after all, the wayward sons who have had to carry on until the work is done. Both Sam and Dean were born into the family business and have been too busy saving the world to do things like celebrate holidays and birthdays (which, btw, since Dean is a hunter, absolutely he should want to celebrate every birthday he gets) or go on dates or enjoy the mancave. They both have reasons to be bitter about the responsibilities foisted onto them. And Mrs. Butters interacted with each brother in the way that the other brother tends to (encouraging Sam to go on dates and cut his hair like Dean does, and encouraging Dean to eat healthier the way that Sam does).
They both need a break, but one that comes after forgiveness for past wrongs. And maybe at the end, that's what they'll get. Idk, if I had to predict the end of the season based off of this episode, I would say that Sam and Dean defeat God/Amara and, somehow, in doing so, set the world into enough order that they can both stop hunting for a bit. Literally, their work is done. And so they go their seperate ways for like ten years. And then, in the final episode, some supernatural activity starts up again, so we get the first episode all over again. Dean picks up Sam just to work one case but then, on the bridge, they realize they've got work to do.And then in a year they shoot the movie. And they keep shooting sequels until Jensen breaks a hip or something.
(Ok, honestly, I love this theory because it would be so like SPN to build the finale up and up and up only to...literally just do what's in the theme song. Carry on until the work is done. Like "we've been telling you how this would end for 15 years, bozos.")
*(Not gonna lie, as a queer black woman, I...have some issues with what I see as the show's social take here. Fictional solutions aren't always applicable to the real world).
