Hello!
I was on the edge of falling asleep when I got shot by a vision and ofc I thought "who could i share this with" and though of u. Sorry in advance for rambling.
Do we think cas' true form is like ruined? A lil bit? All those cosmic battles and Naomi's lobotomies and fights cas had no business walking away from but he did, and all those deaths he shouldnt have come back from but he DID. ((I am ignoring 15x20 the way i ignore st5 and got8.)) (Anyway. Read a fic that described his biblically accurate trueform and how many of cas' eyes were closed due to lobotomies, and the rings being bent and turning oddly and i was like. Yaaassss. Anyway). Like. An animal in the wild with so many healed broken bones and scar marks and all the other animals just stay out of its path kinda deal you kno? The rest of the angelic host is already crushing hard on cas, but like, I think none of them feel. At Ease. Around him. Celebrity crush typa thing.
But. Our sweet menace nephilim Jackie boy. (Truly fantastic casting choice considering the physical similarities to Mish, but I digress). I always headcanon that, along with his mom, he chose to look more like cas than his bio dad. He can do anything so why not unconsciously pick to look like his dad over the literal devil? In that vein. Did he model his trueform after cas too? Bent rings if he has any, halo crooked, wings with odd joints. Eyes that are closed until he opens them all when threatened. Things assume he's easy pray but nah. Kid just dresses like his dad<3
Or something like that. It's always good to keep that idiot ball in your pocket. Just in case. (Elite quote).
Thanks for being a fun presence in the fandom and all your Jack posts. Sorry for the long ask. ;; enjoy ur day/night
I read this about a week ago when my brain was a little more offline, and it made me so happy, despite being loopy. I love being the recipient of such unhinged imagination.
Re: Cas's true form being ruined - Yesssss, and I love all the chronic_pain!natural and disabled!hunters takes sooooo much, too. (I know I've seen some good ones on Tumblr.) I think Cas having chronic pain because of all that he's been through, even BEFORE the start of the series with the lobotomies, is so SOOOo delicious, because pain is distracting. It brings your performance down, even before you can articulate why, and you get so frustrated, and you wonder WHERE your potential dwindled away to, which fits Cas's whole arc SO well...

Celebrity crush typa thing. - Yes, I love this too, because all those war-torn signifiers make Cas even more rugged and attractive and sexy, especially to other angels, and I suppose this makes sense, considering that angelicity is sort of an Unofficial War Culture (TM).

Re: I always headcanon that, along with his mom, he chose to look more like cas than his bio dad. He can do anything so why not unconsciously pick to look like his dad over the literal devil? - I love this a lot because Jack was SO sure Cas WAS his father in 13x01. "Lucifer? No, that's not his name. (bewildered smile) My father is Castiel."
And he canonically, in his mother's final, frightened moments, make the decision to draw on her fear and NOT be a baby. That's a lot of frightened-yet-chosen behavior, even if it's on an animalistic, instinctive level.

Re: Did he model his trueform after cas too? Bent rings if he has any, halo crooked, wings with odd joints. Eyes that are closed until he opens them all when threatened. - I like this idea, but I also love the idea that his angelic form shows, almost against his will, his resemblance to Lucifer's original beauty, you know?
I love the idea of him mimicking Cas behaviorally, though, like how a puppy limps because its dad limps, that sort of thing. So, the closed eyes and holding himself a certain way would be so cute from this angle alone!
