can i just take a moment here to say how hard it is to appreciate any actual depth or meaning gabriel has as a character, and to place him into any good writing, bc the fandom has so thoroughly buried and run over them, to the point that even the show itself took that shit up?

and can i also say how tired i am of these two tropes in particular:

1. gabe being THE brother to cass, when he was nothing of the sort whatsoever in canon

2. gabe & balthazar inevitably being ~besties~ bc they’re ~so alike~ when all those jokes are based on a partial misconception of gabriel’s character

and a TOTAL misconception of balthazar’s

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
