Every Me Loves Every You

i mean i know raphael’s never coming back bc the showrunners are just as racist & sexist as the fans but

i like to think that if he DID he might actually approach cass with some understanding?

imagine raphael laying low for a bit instead of making an automatic power move, esp when he realizes cass is still alive

but then actually catching up on what cass has been doing, and trying to do, and what he’s been through and WHY

like i’m sure raphael could appreciate why cass opposed him after s5, even if he would not tolerate it, but even if he didn’t then i’m sure he could and if for once an archangel might be willing to shut up and listen for a bit they could do so much together, raphael has the experience that cass doesn’t, he’s the rock

just imagine the old power and the new will, and what they could do for each other and their family

at the very least, just imagine raphael being the one to finally offer cass sanctuary

this is the tl;dr version bc i can’t be bothered to get in depth and i don’t think it’s necessary but

pure, stubborn, immovable selfishness, i realize, is the archangels’ defining trait honestly

“no one makes us do anything” is not a free will line, it’s a “we never listen” line

it’s a goddamn tragedy what happened to heaven and earth bc god left the universe in control of beings whose motto is “i’m going to what i’m going to do, and i dare you to stop me” (although as far as i can tell, god himself isn’t much different)

“why won’t any of you listen?”

“they don’t listen, castiel, because their hearts are mine, and i’m too far up my own ass to listen to anyone else”

like goddamn no wonder sam n dean were the vessels

(#y'all know i find raphael the most sympathetic of the four but jesus fuck #the civil war happened bc he would not accept any road to 'paradise' other than the apocalypse as prescribed by god)

endiness replied to your post “ACTUALLY HANG ON A MINUTE why is cass balthazar’s brother, but…”

idk if it’s a reference to anything, but i always thought it was balthazar’s way of like denoting that raphael is older than him. or like higher up in the celestial chain of command than he is.

if it’s not a godfather ref then i’m sure you’re exactly right.

i just hadn’t actually stopped. and thought about it until now, and it’s making me laugh in light of s11/amara.

well actually, now that i think about it, my guess would be it’s also a ref to michael stepping in as father and raphael’s relation to him.

In all perfect honesty, the only reason I’m still playing Stella Glow is because I realized it’s actually a Balthazar/Cass/Hannah AU.( Read more... )
