2020 gets ever more surreal: SPN 15x18

[schneefink]

If I had had to guess yesterday what would most amuse and distract me today, I would not have guessed Supernatural. I wasn't even in that fandom! (I mean I did read dozens of fics and watched some vids etc., but that barely counts, pretty sure that's just normal levels of fandom osmosis with a huge fandom like that.)

That Destiel scene - or, well, DD correctly pointed out that it's not canon Destiel, it's a confirmation that Cas has romantic feelings for Dean but not the other way around, but still - had the perfect timing. Even without the Putin probably-a-hoax that came out at the same time, which made for some very confusing tweets to wake up to. A day earlier would have been too stressful, a day later more relaxed, but yesterday night was the perfect time to just be really surreal. Fucking 2020, man. Cas confesses his love and immediately gets thrown into super-hell, if I understood correctly, is just the most SPN way of doing a gay love confession *facepalm*
And all the memes! Too lazy rn to pick out individual ones but there are quite a few collected in this ff_a thread. (I thought this comment about why Destiel/SPN specifically had this big reaction is probably fairly accurate.)

I'm still all !!! over this, but yeah, that was perfect timing - I found out while checking on the US election, which is not how I expect to get my fandom news! *g*

And Castiel and Dean and Sam have all died and come back so many times already, I'm just shrugging at that part.

But apparently this time it's not normal hell, it's super hell! At least that's what I heard? Idk ^^

[trobadora]

The "super hell" comes from people who have no idea what's going on. It's just the Empty, where angels go when they die. They're permanently asleep there. Except Castiel once woke up in there and annoyed the entity in charge so much it let him come back to life. *g*

[schneefink]

If he did that, why did it even let him back? xD It does sound like the fix-its will be conveniently easy to justify.

[trobadora]

I'm not up to date on recent events, so I'm not sure about its motivations, or why it thinks it can keep Castiel under control this time. But yeah, fix-its aren't going to be a problem if the show finale doesn't fix it by itself.
