Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXX
It was a love story from the very beginning.
Is Not Allowed (Part I)
(12x10a)
Hi my dears! And we arrived to one of our favorite Destiel episodes: 'Lily Sanders has some regrets.'
We have a lot of Destiel to discuss here, more of it you have read for sure already in this fandom, because we are late with the subtext, but I decided to divide this meta in two parts.
Married Couple and the Third Wheel
When the episode starts, we have our little moose and Dean having this peculiar dialogue...
SAM: I don't think we have the kind of mom who's gonna stay home and make us chicken soup for dinner, you know? You talk to Cass yet?
DEAN: No.
Sam jumps from mom, one of Dean's concerns, to Cas. He has to take this chance, and he's asking because we could assume, he was seeing something odd between them going on. (Poor third wheel), he noticed, as the insightful person Sam is, Dean and Cas are not talking to each other. He had noticed the awkward silence...
I want to hug that moose...
SAM: So, what, you're just gonna keep walking past each other in the kitchen, not saying a word?
DEAN: Maybe.
I love Yockey, because he's pointing here through Sam's lines how Dean and Cas behave like two lovers fighting. Is a married couple, and he's the poor kid in the middle. And I love his body language, because he is moving the chair as if it was a game in the park, while looking at his brother like "you are two kids. You are so in love and fight like two love birds." Hope in his eyes, because he's making his brother talk with him about Cas. This is a perfect parallel to season 8, the bunker again, and Dean mad at Cas again, but this time Sam is more used to it. And kind of amused.
SAM: Look, yes, Cass killed Billie, but he saved us. He saved Mom. How long are you gonna stay pissed?
DEAN: I'm not pissed that he cares about us, you know. I'm – I'm grateful. But Billie said there would be “cosmic consequences” if that deal got broken. You have any idea what that means?
SAM: No.
DEAN: Neither do I, but I'm pretty sure it ain't jellybeans and g-strings.
SAM: My point is, Cas thought he was doing the right thing.
CAS: I was doing the right thing.
Sam is always Castiel's attorney, he was that in season 8 saying 'Is Cas!", And he is now trying to make his brother to understand why Cas did it.
Sam is saying what Dean always says about Cas, but is not working this time, because they're already married hahahaa. Sorry. But is true.
And the bickering continues...
CAS: No. This is personal.
DEAN: Meaning what?
CAS: Another angel. An old friend. He called out for help.
DEAN: Oh. Good old reliable angel radio.
May I point here how jealous is Dean? Because every time Cas mentions angels or Heaven, he is there to spread his jealousy all over. Just thinking about Cas coming back to Heaven or to his old Garrison, makes Dean lose it.
CAS: He was begging for help and then he just stopped. I need to know if he's still alive.
SAM: Yeah, all right. Well... we'll come with you.
CAS: Both of you?
There comes the sassy look, I love it, Cas is so done with Dean's attitude, but he is not aware he's acting just like him. I know Sam is saying 'Kiss already!'
DEAN: Sure. Yeah, we could help. Gotta make sure you don't do anything else stupid.
Dean's favorite quote to exasperate his angel... The level of bickering is reaching the top, but there's still even more... Are you praying for Sammy?
The awkward silence in the car makes Sam wanting to die. Is the same sensation an old friend feels when an old couple is fighting, and he knows both of them. Being in the middle of that war is stressing.
We, as spectators, don't know if we should laugh or just feel sorry for Sam.
Is a very uncomfortable situation...
Thank you Yockey for writing this clearly as two men in love fighting, making it blatant to any eye watching.
Because we have the exaggerating reactions, the rolling eyes, the frowns and the sassiest quotes and looks. And the jealousy at his maximum expression. YES, DEAN AND CAS ARE IN LOVE AND THEY'RE FIGHTING.
SAM: All right. Guys, you know what? This – this silent treatment thing, it's silly. It's not gonna work. Whatever we're walking into, we should, you know, probably have an actual plan.
Sam is so done with it, he's just throwing some reason over there.
CAS: (sighs) What do you wanna know?
DEAN: Oh, he speaks.
SAM: Enough. Cass, you said when you heard Benjamin, he – he was screaming.
Okay, Sam is scolding his brother, because he had just asked them to stop, and he keeps acting like a child, so, time to stop him.
CAS: It was, um... Look, Benjamin wouldn't call for help lightly. And he wouldn't put himself in harm's way if he could help it.
DEAN: Wow, this Benjamin seems like he's pretty cool, you know. Like he wouldn't make any half-cocked, knee-jerk choices.
Well, look at this, Dean is far from stop, he is trying to annoy Castiel even more. Trying to throw a little of irony, and Cas will reply with some acid words...

CAS: Yeah, you know what I like about him? Is that he's sarcastic, but he's thoughtful and appreciative, too.
DEAN: Now what is that supposed to mean?
SAM: Okay, okay, the road, road. Dude, watch the road.
This is one of my fav scenes, because he got so jealous over Castiel's words about Benjamin, that is hilarious, he even turns around to face the angel, ignoring he was the driver, and is SO SO BLATANT, AGAIN, SO CLEAR TO OUR EYES THEY'RE TWO LOVE BIRDS FIGHTING.
What is allowed
Let's jump now into a concept that will be explored this season and the following. Something that every angel has written in his brains: Sacred Oath.
Yockey will show us in this episode the two difference about what is allowed and what is not allowed to angels about their relationships with humans.
Pay attention to Castiel's words here...
CAS: Benjamin is always very careful. Long ago, he found a powerfully devout vessel in Madrid, and her faith, it... she gave him everything – her trust and her body.
This speech Cas makes about Benjamin and her female vessel, is nothing else than a profound bond, when he says 'she gave him everything--her trust her body.' He's talking about which kind of relationship is allowed for an angel to have with a human. Sharing vessel, is an intimate act of trust and submission. But the way Cas is talking about it, the sentiment he put on those words, is talking about something else there. So maybe Benjamin and this woman fell in love, and the only allowed way to share their lives together, was through sharing vessel. @emblue-sparks has a very interesting analysis about how this premise introduced by Yockey could be taken as a theory of Dean and Cas sharing vessels since season 13. You can find their thoughts here. I based my current Destiel endgame spec on this too, and in more clues I found mostly in season 15. You can find that spec here.
DEAN: Wait. So Benjamin's a woman.
CAS: Benjamin is an angel. His vessel is a woman. But it – it's – it's more than that. She's not just his vessel.
SAM: She's... She's his friend.
CAS: Yeah. Benjamin would never put her in unnecessary danger.
And we love Yockey, shows us here the genderless nature of angels, based on the vessels. When he says BENJAMIN IS AN ANGEL, he is saying he is not a woman, not a man, even when his pronoun is He/Him.
There will be another example when Yockey shows us fem vessel! Castiel.
When Cas says 'it's more than that. She's not just his vessel." Is giving us clues, again, about the kind of profound bond Benjamin and the spanish woman shared.
I have to cut the analysis here, and I will let the "not allowed" topics for the next meta.
To Conclude:
I consider Yockey as the Destiel guide writer in Dabb's team. Each episode he wrote, he made a guide with steps our ship will follow in the incoming chapters.
This time he is putting in order a couple of concepts about angels, allowed relationships with humans and forbidden relationships.
This is very important to understand Castiel's POV about his own feelings for Dean.
He wrote an old married couple bickering, and Sam represented all of us, trying to survive to uncomfortable silences and bitterness.
Hope you like this meta, see you in the next one!

EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL, THE APOSTLE, TO THE HEBREWS - From The Latin Vulgate Bible
Chapter 8
PREFACE.
The Catholic Church hath received and declared this Epistle to be part of the Canonical Scriptures of the New Testament, though some doubted of it in the first ages[centuries], especially in the Latin Church, witness St. Jerome on the 8th chap. of Isaias; Luther and most of his followers reject it, but the Calvinists and the Church of England have received it. Others, who received this Epistle in the first ages[centuries], doubted whether it was written by St. Paul, but thought it was written by St. Barnabas, or by St. Clement of Rome, or St. Luke, or at least that St. Paul only furnished the matter and the order of it, and that St. Luke wrote it, and St. Paul afterwards read it and approved it. It was doubted again, whether this Epistle was first written in Hebrew (that is, in Syro-Chaldaic, then spoken by the Jews) or in Greek, as Estius pretends. The ancient writers say it was written in Hebrew, but that it was very soon after translated into Greek either by St. Luke or St. Clement of Rome, pope and martyr. Cornelius a Lapide thinks the Syriac which we have in the Polyglot to have been the original; but this is commonly rejected. See Tillemont on St. Paul, Art. 46, and note 72; P. Alleman on the first to the Hebrews, &c. St. Paul wrote this letter about the year 63[A.D. 63], and either at Rome or in Italy. See Chap. xii. 24. He wrote it to the Christians in Palestine, who had most of them been Jews before. This seems the reason why he puts not his name to it, nor calls himself their apostle, his name being rather odious to the Jews, and because he was chosen to be the apostle of the Gentiles. The main design is to shew that every one's justification and salvation is to be hoped for by the grace and merits of Christ, and not from the law of Moses, as he had shewn in his Epistles to the Galatians and the Romans, where we many observe this kind of difference: To the Galatians he shews, that true justice cannot be had from circumcision and the ceremonies of the law: to the Romans, that even the moral precepts and works of the law were insufficient without the grace of Christ: and in this to the Hebrews, he shews that our justice could not be had from the sacrifices of the old law.
Chapter 8
More of the excellence of the priesthood of Christ, and of the New Testament.
1 Now of the things spoken, the sum is: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens;
Notes & Commentary:
Ver. 1. Of the things spoken[1] the sum is. This word sum, many expound, as if St. Paul said: I will sum up, and give you an abridgment or recapitulation of what I have said. But St. Chrysostom and others, by the Greek would rather understand the chief, or greatest thing of all, when he adds, that Christ is our high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens. (Witham)
Note 1:
Ver. 1. Capitulum super ea quæ dicuntur, kephalaion epi tois legomenois. Beza and others reprehend here the ancient Latin interpreter. They have as much reason to blame the Greek original. St. Augustine observes that the Latin interpreter was more solicitous to follow exactly the sense than to write proper Latin.
2 A minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.
Ver. 2. A minister of the holies. Literally, of the holy places, and of the true tabernacle: he adds true, to signify that though he speaks with an allusion to the sanctuary, and the priests of the former law, yet that Christ hath now entered into the true holy of holies; that is, into heaven, of which the Jewish sanctuary was only a type or figure. --- Which the Lord hath pitched, and not man; i.e. all the parts of the Jewish sanctuary was the work of men's hands; but heaven, the habitation prepared for the saints, is the work of God. (Witham) --- The Old Testament was a figure of the New; but the tabernacle of Moses, and the temple of Solomon, were in particular an image and figure of the Christian Church, ver. 5. The Church triumphant in heaven is the true sanctuary; the Church militant on earth is the true tabernacle; and Jesus Christ is the sovereign priest of both the one and the other, and exercises his priesthood both in heaven and upon earth.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have something to offer:
Ver. 3. For every high priest, &c. That is, as all priests are ordained to offer up to God some gifts and sacrifices; so Christ, a priest for ever, has now in heaven something to offer to his eternal Father; to wit, the infinite merits and satisfactions of his death and passion. This he doth in heaven, and also by the ministry of his priests on earth, who offer the same in his name. (Witham) --- This is the daily sacrifice of Christians, foretold plainly by Malachias, chap. i. 10. 11. This is also clearly mentioned in St. Justin Martyr, Dial. cum Tryphone.; Tertullian, co. M.[contra Marcion?] lib. iii. chap. 21.; St. Irenæus, lib. iv. chap. 32.; St. Cyprian, lib. i. adv. Jud.; Eusebius, lib. i. Dem. Evan.; St. Chrysostom, in Psalm xcv.; St. Augustine, lib. xviii. de civ. Dei. chap. 35, &c. &c. For authorities see annotations on chapter x. of this epistle. The apostate Courayer, who pretending to remain a Catholic, ended by becoming a Socinian or Unitarian, taught that persons were at liberty to deny the real presence, and admit with Catholics a commemorative or representative sacrifice, which applies to us the merits of Christ's death. But this system was condemned by the Gallican church, as contrary to the doctrine of the Council of Trent, which has defined the mass to be not merely a commemorative and representive sacrifice, but a true and real offering of a victim, really present, and actually offered to God by the priest. "By his last sentiments, (published by Dr. Bell) it appears, says the New Gen. Biogr. Dict. edited by Chalmers, an. 1814[A.D. 1814], vol. lxxx. art. Courayer, that although he professed to die a member of the Roman Catholic Church, he could not well be accounted a member of that, or of any other established Church. In rejecting the doctrine of the Trinity, he became nearly, if not quite, a Socinian, or modern Unitarian; he denied also the inspiration of the holy Scriptures, as to matters of fact; and as to baptism, seems to wish to confine it to adults. In 1811 a more full exposure of his sentiments was published by Dr. Bell, in a posthumous work of Courayer, on the Divinity of Jesus Christ, 8vo. a publication we have little hesitation in saying ought never to have appeared. It could not be wanting to illustrate the wavering, unsettled character of the author. The creed of innovators is never fixed; and when once they cast off the authority of the Church, they are carried about, like children, with every wind of doctrine."
4 If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing there would be others who should offer gifts according to the law,
Ver. 4. If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest. He speaks of a priest according to the custom of the Jews, where none were priests but of the tribe of Levi, and Jesus Christ was of the tribe of Juda: and if the law of Moses was to continue, there would not be wanting priests to offer sacrifices according to their worship, though such priests were only employed about things that were types[2] and shadows of heavenly things in the new law after Christ's coming, and of the sacrifice by which he offered himself on the cross. And this God doubtless revealed to Moses, when he said to him: take heed "thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount." (Witham) --- Earth, &c. That is, if he were not of a higher condition than the Levitical order of earthly priests, and had not another kind of sacrifice to offer, he should be excluded by them from the priesthood, and its functions, which by the law were appropriated to their tribe. (Challoner)
Note 2:
Ver. 4. Exemplari et umbræ deserviunt, upodeigmati, kai skia latreuousi. It signifies, that they served God by those things that were types and figures of more perfect and heavenly things.
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.
Ver. 5. Who serve unto, &c. The priesthood of the law and its functions were a kind of an example, and shadow of what is done by Christ in his Church militant [on earth] and triumphant [in heaven], of which the tabernacle was a pattern. (Challoner)
6 But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises.
Ver. 6. But now Christ, the Messias, being come, hath ordained a more excellent ministry and priesthood, being the great Mediator betwixt God and man of a better and more excellent testament, accompanied with greater graces and blessings, and established with better and more ample promises, not of temporal blessings, as the former, but of eternal happiness. (Witham)
7 For if the former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second.
Ver. 7. For if that first testament had been faultless: if it had not been imperfect, and all those sacrifices and ceremonies insufficient for the justification, salvation, and redemption of mankind, there would have been no need of a second. (Witham)
8 For finding fault with them, he saith: Behold, the days shall come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new testament with the house of Israel and with the house of Juda,
Ver. 8. For finding fault with them. It is not said here, blaming the law, says St. Chrysostom, which in itself was good, just, and holy, (see Romans vii. 12.) but blaming the breakers and transgressors of it; not but that men were saved in the time of the law, who by God's grace believed in their Redeemer that was to come, and lived well. And the mercies of God were so great, even towards sinners, that he made them a solemn promise, clearly expressed in the prophet Jeremias, (Chap. xxxi. 31. &c.) The days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant,...not according to the covenant (or not such a one) as I made to their fathers, at the time when I took them as it were by the hand to lead them out of....Egypt, &c. with signs and prodigies: I then made choice of them to be my people, but they were always transgressing against this testament, this covenant, which I had made with them: and for their transgressions I neglected them, punished them from time to time, and, what was the greatest punishment of all, permitted such ungrateful and obstinate offenders to run on in their own sinful ways to their own ruin. (Witham)
9 Not according to the testament which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: for they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Ver. 9. No explanation given.
10 For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and I will write them in their heart: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
Ver. 10. For this is the testament which I will make with the house of Israel, and with all nations, as I promised to Abraham, I will give (literally, by giving) my laws into their mind, and I will write this new law, not as the former, in tables of stone, but in their hearts, and to them I will be a merciful God, and they shall be my elect people. (Witham) --- The Jews were like slaves, and God ruled them as a master; Christians are his children, and God rules them as a father: and so great is the efficacy of this divine teacher, that by means of a short and easy catechism, children are now taught to know God more perfectly than the first sages of antiquity by their abstruse and erudite disquisitions. We moreover observe under the new law the grace and spirit of love, engrafted in the hearts of the faithful by the Holy Ghost working in the sacraments and sacrifice of the new law to that effect....This covenant was made at the last supper, and ratified the next day by the death of the Testator on the cross, when he exclaimed, "consummatum est," all is consummated. [John xix. 30.]
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them:
Ver. 11. They shall not teach, &c. So great shall be the light and grace of the new testament, that it shall not be necessary to inculcate to the faithful the belief and knowledge of the true God, for they shall all know him. (Challoner) --- All shall know me, &c. This seems to signify that by the truths which Christ preached, and which the apostles published to all nations, the faithful in the new law should have a greater knowledge of God, of the true manner of worshipping him, and of heavenly things, and also greater and more abundant graces than they had before Christ's coming. They shall also serve God with greater fidelity, by considering his mercy in sending them a Redeemer to free them from the slavery of sin and damnation, of which they stood guilty. (Witham)
12 Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
Ver. 12. No explanation given.
13 Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.
Ver. 13. In calling this testament a new one, he hath made the former old. This is to put the Hebrews in mind that the former law, as to its ceremonies and sacrifices, is now to be laid aside, and the new law or testament to be received and complied with. (Witham) --- Thus the first alliance was to end according to the testimony of Scripture itself, and make place for the second, which is infinitely more perfect. To be fully satisfied of this, it is merely necessary to compare the one with the other. (Bible de Vence.)

ITK Newsletter, no. LXXX: LUNAR-PICK Classic Run Review: Moon Knight Vol. 1, Issue #4
Loony Legionnaires!
Welcome again to another ITK newsletter, this time coming a little early due to commitments tomorrow night which will not allow me to write up and send off, as has been the case previously. You may well be wondering why, and the simple answer to that is - CAPTAIN MARVEL!
Yes, I'll be watching Captain Marvel tomorrow night, and I am pretty excited! I'll also be joined by podcast tour de force, David Finn from The Signal of Doom, so it should be a fun viewing of the film starring Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson, but it should also prove to be a good discussion before and after the film, with one half of the Signal there! (He'll also be joined by his lovely partner, Michelle, and all this has been graciously arranged by friend of the show, Natashca.
With ConnorShu watching it in the morning session on Wednesday, we'll have plenty to talk about on the show during our opening 'Idol Chat' segment; there's also a discussion of Alex Looman's latest fan film offering of Winter Soldier - he assures me it has a Moon Knight cameo, so we'll be sure to watch it and give it our thoughts on the show too; finally, we'll also hopefully be joined by High Priest Rebecca, so the upcoming show is pulling out all the stops!
With all that happening at the outset of the show, we then come to the main 'meat and potatoes' of the show and that is the LUNAR-PICK review - 
PHASE OF THE MOON: WAXING CRESCENT (but we're doing a WANING CRESCENT!)
LUNAR-PICK - CLASSIC RUN REVIEW,
MOON KNIGHT VOL. 1, ISSUE #4 - 'THE COMMITTEE OF FIVE'
Released February 1981
writer - Doug Moench
artist - Bill Sienkiewicz
inker - Klaus Janson
colourist -Bob Sharen
letterer -Rick Parker
editors -Dennis O'Neil, Mark Gruenwald
As shown above, and mentioned on our last episode, we got the moon phase wrong (well, I did!), so in an attempt to resolve this and to appease Khonshu, we'll be doing the Classic run review this episode - which really should have been done last episode...ah well - you win some, you lose some!
I haven't read this in a while, but I reckon it'll be fun to revisit and it'll be interesting what the other High Priests make of it. 
It should be readily available digitally and in singles...I'll be diving into my Epic Collection Vol 1 'Bad Moon Rising' to check out this issue, which is reprinted on decent paper stock and beautiful recreated inks...
Similar to the Bendis issue we covered last week, we'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this one - it's an old school issue, but it has much of the Moench and Sienkiewicz charm...there'll be a discussion post coming up for you to let us know your thoughts, but there are also many other ways to reach us -

You may hear stuff that doesn't make it onto the final cut, which may be fun; or you can share your thoughts in real time too...via the chat room! We can give you a shout out or discuss any questions you have on hand then and there!!

March itself will involve a heap of recording (already have  one awesome interview in the bag with at least another three more in the pipelines) so be sure to keep your eye on our social media pages for all the upcoming goodies!!
Here's the Captain Marvel tomorrow night - if you are going to see it, I do hope you enjoy it..here's to another era in the MCU....hopefully it will include Moon Knight in some capacity!!

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXXIV
It was a love story from the very beginning.
I Love You
(12x12)
Hi my beautiful friends, I will talk in this meta about the episode in which Case confessed his love. Did he? Or didn't he? Heheh let's see.
Dean Jealous and his contra-macho cool friend reaction
Oh yes, I'm gonna talk about that scene. I saw so many memes because Dean's dimples of discontent were loud. So get this...
MANDY: And how ‘bout you, handsome?
Tumblr media

Dean's face here can't be taken by other thing than JEALOUSY, he is not amused with that girl throwing heart eyes to Cas. And he shows his dimples of discontent. Not amused at all. So, he post-reaction to this, with his mom on the table and that tough hunter too, he does what society waits for a friend to do when a girl is showing signs of flirtation to one of his friends...
But he overreacts and says a couple of silly things. One of them, Sam won't let go easily.
Gif credit @angvlicmish
Tumblr media
This is the lie, because Dean doesn't want to teach Cas to conquer women. But he has to pretend he does. Because he wants to show the supportive friend he is. 'We've been looking for teachable moments' like 'We?' Sam and him? Sammy doesn't look as if he was waiting for this moment, besides, he knows what Dean feels for Cas, so... Dean is almost reaching the ridiculous line in here. Trying so hard to sound one thing, he is not.
Look at this...
SAM: The internet here sucks. I downloaded all the bunker’s files to a new archive, but we’re not getting any signal, so I’m j–
DEAN: [makes snoring noises and pretends to sleep] Nobody cares. Cas, here’s the thing you need to know about waitresses, okay? They get hit on all day long, so you gotta bring your A game. But, upside? [clicks tongue] They always smell like food.
WALLY: [nodding along with Dean, then pointing at him] They always smell like food.
First: Sam immediately changed the subject dragging them to the case and a difficulty he is having to get more info, and Dean! Dean just cut him off! He just can't let a waitress hitting on Cas' alone! Because is VERY IMPORTANT to him, to pretend he is helping him, because he is the waitress experienced friend, and try to low Castiel's expections into venture to do that!
Because... He says 'They always smell like food!" As if that were something sexy!
And Wally is just affirming that premise, and then Sam... Because he was interrupted by his brother's fake show, and because he knows what's the behind the scenes, he engages revengeful ...
SAM: Is that really an upside? They smell like food?
MARY: Okay– okay...
DEAN: Right? It’s great.
SAM: Why would you want them to smell like food?
Dean can't lie to Sam, because Sam knows the truth, he knows Dean is trying to kill every interest Castiel could ever have in hook up with any waitress in the world. Because he is jealous! And I believe Mary noticed that too, and just scolded their boys. Hehehe.
Then this?
Tumblr media

Okay, leaving to a side that his face is out of control, because he really thinks Cas is devastating handsome, he keeps with the cool friend that helps his friend, and the only one believing that story in that table is Wally, because he didn't live the Destiel drama. Dean is pretending like a good, because Wally is there. But Sam know, Mary knows, and even Cas knows.
Tumblr media
Gif credit @angvlicmish
Dean is like 'I helped you, buddy, did you like that? I'm a cool friend.' and Cas is like 'Do you really want me to date this female, Dean?' just because the poor guy put so many effort on that. Geez. Dean is a mess... Heheheh.
I Love You
I will try to focus the meta in the 'I love you' scene, because before that, we have a very distressed Dean Winchester trying to save his angel. Dean is nervous, and in denying. Because his head can't process the fact of loosing Castiel for ever. He can't handle that lost, that's why he denies it.
Now, let's go to the famous scene. Did Cas said I Love You to Dean?
Tumblr media
Gif credit @angvlicmish
If you rewatch the scene, previous to this confession, Castiel is looking at Dean straight in the eyes, then he drops his gaze and says these words, with a hint of shame.
But Dean's reaction can only been explained as someone who's hearing his best friend saying goodbye and giving up. And also, because in english language, this I LOVE YOU, could be sayed to a singular person of more than one. So, Dean thinks this I Love You was for them (Dean, Sam and Mary) that's why that face, is a face that says : ' Come one man, don't say it, you won't die, this is not the goodbye.'
I know a lot of people thinks Dean's reaction is because he wasn't prepared to receive a love confession, but I don't really think that. He is not prepared to say it. And in this take, he thinks this goodbye confession if for all the Winchesters in that room. Why do I think this? Because his reaction is very different when he sees Cas saying this to Sam and Mary.

Tumblr media
Cas averts his eyes to Sam and Mary and Dean's face is of realization here.
He realizes the first I LOVE YOU was for him.
Why would Cas make that difference? Because the meaning are different. Even when he previously confess they are his family, he chooses to look at Dean first a confess one exclusive I love you for him.
Is platonic? Is romantic?
I truly believe is romantic, because there was shame in Cas' face, and he dropped his eyes before saying it. And I think Dean knew this deep inside.
But it could be taken otherwise, that's why it stays like a grey zone between them.
When Crowley comes and saves Castiel, Dean's face of relief is priceless, and there's this little finger touch Cas made over Dean's hand before left his hand go. They were close to be separated, what they don't know is, this is a foreshadow of Castiel's real death at the endo of the season, but also, Dean saying: "Let's go home" is foreshadowing too his own words in episode 13x06, when Castiel comes back to him.
To Conclude:
Episode 12x12 has Jealous!Dean, inside a hilarious scene, but it also has a sad foreshadow of Castiel's death.
Cas said confessed his love for the Winchesters as a family, but it was a special and exclusive confession he made to Dean, because the hint of shame and the dropped gaze, it meant more than just a platonic confession.
Dean's reaction is different to the second confession, because he realizes the first one was just for him.
I really hope you enjoyed this meta, see you in the next one!

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. XC
It was a love story from the very beginning.
Breaking Walls (Part I)
(12x20/12x21)
Hello my friends! I'm here with another meta from season 12! This time I'll try to resume these two episodes pointing important subtext and foreshadows I found in them.
We/Us vs Only Dean
Resonating with the previous episode, the mixtape one. We will meet Tasha Banes and her son's Alicia and Max. And with them will come the difference between WE/US and I/ME.
First of all, we were fed with Dean Winchester's worries for Castiel.
Gif set credit @starlightcastiel
Tumblr media
The scene opens with a close up to Dean's hands. This focus on the hands will continue through the episode, related with my Quantum theory about Dabb's era, it talks about a foreshadow. And because is centered on the knuckles, is a foreshadow of Dean hitting on the door from the Burger Shop after praying to Chuck in 13x01. Linked to his worries for Castiel, opens the door for the incoming mourning for him.
Dean: That freaking baby isn't even born yet and it sock puppeted him. Think about it.
Is very meaningful Dean uses this word PUPPET here, to explain Castiel's odd behavior. But is also related to this episode: a witch killing people and constructing puppets she can command as she wishes. If this sounds particularly known by all of us, is because is a very smart Foreshadow for Chuck appearing in the ending of season 14 and the whole season 15. The puppet master.
Tumblr media
This is what makes Dean feel so worried: CAS having faith in Lucifer jr. As Dean calls it. Is not good sign for him. And because he knows what CAS is willing to do when he is in soldier mode, when he has faith in something. He can give everything in exchange. He knows it. And he is worried because CAS is in danger now. And he can't understand how CAS is having faith in that nephilim he was trying to kill hours before. He needs to understand what's going on, Because Castiel's safety is in danger. And Cas' means everything to Dean.
SAM: I don't know. I mean, look, this doesn't make any sense to me either, Dean. But if we wanna have some shot at finding Cas, the we have to...I don’t know. Uh, try and think like him.
DEAN: How? Seriously...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
He sounds desperate here. He knows exactly this is the first time he saw CAS like this. Again brainwashed? He is scared. Dean is afraid of losing CAS. He didn't recognize Castiel looking back at him. Because CAS had a new mission now. Cas had determination in his eyes. And the mission comes first.
Then, one phone rings, and is Max and Alicia. And the dialogue here will separate the therms WE from INDIVIDUAL again.
ALICIA: Yeah, sorry to um...Uh, Mary gave me a couple different numbers to reach her, and we thought –
Max loudly interrupts Alicia to make a point that this is not his idea.
MAX: No. No. Mnh-mnh.
Alicia looks exasperated.
ALICIA: I thought Mary would be down to help. Uh, be our backup on this, um...
The parallel with the Barnes brothers here is loud, not just the missing parent in a hunt, but the blatant difference between WE/US vs INDIVIDUAL (Alice and Dean).
Max doesn't want his sister use him as a shield for showing his worries. Just like Dean used Sam in the mixtape scene or when CAS arrived at the bunker.
After Sam accepts to help, Dean turns into worried boyfriend mode...
Tumblr media
He is like: 'Come on Sam, didn't you heard all my worries? We have to find CAS! CAS CAS CAS!'
Then we have Dean calling Mary...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
His face here is loud. He was thinking about Castiel being in danger since CAS left. I bet you he couldn't sleep neither. And he needs to talk with someone about this. But how he feels about this. Becay Sam ia confused but he keeps doing his job. Dean just can't go on if he can't rescue CAS from the 'evil child'.
The Foreshadows
Before jumping into the symbology of this episode, let's show another example of we/u vs me/I:
ALICIA: Well, then why didn't you call us? I mean we–
MAX: Ahem.
Sam and Dean look slightly uncomfortable.
ALICIA: I called and texted a lot.
TASHA: I'm sorry, baby. My phone hasn't been charging all day.
Is the difference between the amount of worrisome and the effort from the writers to point out that to us. To make it noticeable.
Now, let's go with Mary Winchester: there's this scene in which Mary discovers Mick's corpse and she uncovered his face. Is a sad foreshadow of Dean in episode 13x01 uncovering Castiel's face when he laid dead on the table.
Also the finding of the corpses ina dark place by Dean and Sam, was a foreshadow of dead and the Empty.
Then, Tasha attack Alicia and Max, as a foreshadow of Mary coming against her own boys.
But it caught my attention what Ketch says to Mary:
KETCH: But I can keep you safe. If you just play your part, if you play nice...
In an episode where we are talking about puppets Ketch asks Mary to play her part. And I just recalled the whole season 9 with Metatron and the repetitive quote: Everyone needs to play their role. As an attempt coming from the writer to control the story and the characters. This is very important because is anticipating Chuck's plot in season 15. Mary answers: 'I don't play nice' as a reflection of TFW.
When Alicia dies, the dialogue between Sam, Dean and Max is another example of loosing a brother/family and loosing the love of your life.
SAM: Hey, Max, um, this is, uh... Look, you – you're probably in shock right now, but it's gonna pass.
DEAN: And then it's gonna hurt.
They're talking from their places, they had lost many people in their lives, family. Wich is pointing too what we will be seeing at the beginning of season 13, the big difference with loosing the love of your life, incarnated I'm Dean mourning Castiel.
Eileen's death and Brainwashing
Just a few words about episode 12x21.
Is the episode in which Eileen dies, in a dark Forest. Saileen always had been a Destiel mirror and showed the path for our ship. So when Eileen dies, is talking about the lovers separation through death. Sam uncovering her face in the morgue, again, as a prelude of Dean doing the same with Castiel.
BMoL brainwashing Mary, and using her as a puppet against the boy, is slightly showing how Dean sees what's going on with CAS.
But is also a foreshadow of AUMichael!Dean.
Later in the episode, we have Crowley who was controlling Lucifer's vessel as a puppet too, but something goes wrong this time.
DREXEL: The ability to control is transferring from Crowley to you.
LUCIFER: So you're saying that Crowley's gonna be my puppet.
This could be showing two interesting Foreshadows: first, when AUMichael will take control over Dean's body and kidnap him in episode 13x23, and second, what will happen once Dean will lock Michael down in his head, taking full control of his own body.
Then, another parallel between CAS and Mick. Remember Samadriek saying he has too much heart and that was his problem? Okay...
TONI: Oh, Mick's dead.
SAM: He's dead?
TONI: Quite. It was determined he was too sentimental for the job.
So Mick also had too much heart...
To Conclude:
Dean is a mess of worries for CAS and it shows. He is afraid of loosing him this time for real.
There are foreshadows of Cas' death all over the episodes, preluding the finale.
There's also a lot of references to puppets, for the incoming plot of Chuck and Dean's possesion.
Hope you like this volume. See you in the next one!

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXXII
It was a love story from the very beginning.
Is Not Allowed (Part III)
(12x10 c)
Hello everyone! And look what Yockey made me do! A third part of his episode! 🤣
But this is the last part from 12x10, and I will throw here the Sacred Oath again, and the transference Ishim makes while talking about 'human weakness'.
Cas is family and is more than that for Dean
So, when Ishim and Cas finish their story about Lily, Dean and Sam feel they can talk and reason with this woman.
SAM: We're here to talk, that's it. We come in peace. Just hear us out. We heard what happened to your family.
LILY: My family?
DEAN: See, Cas is our family, so we can't let you hurt him.
Dean continues placing Cas in that spot, because is the top place he has. But we all know he feels different about him, that's why when they discovered the truth, and who Ishim is, the worrisome in Dean's face alerts Sam, who let his brother go to save Castiel.
Is extremely important the disrespectful way Ishim talks about Cas and his relationship with the Winchesters. Because Ishim sees any kind of relationship with humans as a weakness. He transfers his own fears and ideas to Cas, because he sees in Cas his own relationship with Lily, but he deeply is envying the bond Cas reached with Dean, because he couldn't achieve it with Lily.
ISHIM: The way you let those simians talk to you... Castiel, when did you get so gooey? You know why we're meant to stay away from them humans? Hmm? It's not because we're a danger to them. They're a danger to us. Case in point.
Here we have a parallel with Sam and Dean saying to Cas why he let the angels to talk to him so mean. But also, Ishim is pointing humans like danger, why? Because his experience with Lily make him have strong feelings, he even got obsessed with the woman. Is a toxic mirror of what Destiel is.
CAS: Well, my friendship with Sam and Dean has made me stronger.
ISHIM: You can't really believe that.
Castiel is sure he's much better after knowing the Winchesters, and he will repeat these words in episode 12x12 in the barn, because the truly believe this, but to Ishim, have feelings for human, mostly for one particular human, romantic feelings, as he felt for Lily, makes you weak. Because he feels that way. He feels weak because of that strong feeling inside of him. Because Ishim relationship with Lily were sick and Cas and Dean is not.
Human Weakness
The way Dean approached Cas, is showing us he's not mad at him anymore. He was conciliation. The ways he places his hand on Castiel's shoulder, is supportive and protective. Because Cas is family, and more than that.
And the words he says to Ishim, about his relationship with Cas, are priceless. It shows the huge difference between Destiel and Ishim with Lily.
ISHIM: Who are you gonna believe? Your brother, or some filthy ape who's always talking down to you, always mocking you.
DEAN: You know, Cas and I might not agree all the time, but at least he knows who his real friends are.
Beautiful, you know why? Because Dean is using the word 'I', is this a kind of apologies? Yes it is! And again, Castiel chooses Dean.
Then we have the pivotal Destiel scene...
ISHIM: You survived Hell. You were chosen by God. But now look at you. You're just sad and pathetically weak.
Why is Castiel weak at the sight of Ishim's eyes? Because he knows he fell in love with a human too, just like him. Transference.
ISHIM: So now... I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna cure you of your human weakness same way I cured my own– by cutting it out.

And is not surprise, he was talking about Dean, because he approaches him slowly, blandished his angel blade, looking straight to Dean. And now, is time for Dean to choose Castiel. (If this is not romantic, idk what it is guys.)
DEAN: Don't move.
ISHIM: Do it. You blast me away, you'll blast away every angel in the room. I'll survive. Castiel, on the other hand, he's hurt. He might live or he might just end up a bloody smear on the wall. Roll the dice.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Dean lows his hand. *SOBBING*
The Touch
Before talking about the way Dean touched Castiel's shoulder in the last scene, let's talk about this...
CAS: I truly can't imagine the depths of your loss. This was your child. I can't imagine the pain. So if you leave here and you find that you can't forgive me... I'll be waiting.
What a way to place a foreshadow here, as I said, Yockey is the one writing a guide for the entire Destiel plot and the most important incoming topics. Castiel will be able to feel what to be a father is, it will be part of his arc. And in an episode in which we talked about WEAKNESS AND NEPHILIM, WE ARE SHOWN HOW ONE CHILD (JACK) WILL MAKE CASTIEL STRONGER.
Now, time to scream about Destiel...
Gif credit @rosewhipped22 👇
Tumblr media
Look at this gif... They're back in the bunker and is time to console Castiel, because he had a hard day. So Dean brings him a beer. But... Look at his hand. He touches Castiel's shoulder, but then he carresses it, looking away!!!! He's looking away because what he's doing feels huge inside of him, he is touching the angel not in a brotherly way, not in a platonic way at all, he's being subtle about his feelings towards Cas!!! So have a beer, buddy, and here have a nice touch. Because Dean needed it. He needed to show Cas, even if is in this subtle way, he cares about him, he cares A LOT, about him.
Okay, I'm done with this episode.
To Conclude:
Ishim's transfers into Cas his weakness and his relationship with Lily, a human.
But the huge difference between them and Destiel is, Dean and Cas love each other, even if sometimes they fight, they love each other, and that love makes them stronger.
Hope you like this one, see you in the next meta!

Destiel Chronicles
It was a love story from the very beginning.
Vol. LXXXI
Is Not Allowed (Part II)
(12x10 b)
Hello my friends! Second part of episode 12 and I'm afraid it will be a third one hehehehe
A lot to talk about it so, let's just start!
A little more of sassy Cas...
Just a quick refer nice to that scene we love so much, in which Sam is the third wheel once more (so we need to pray louder for him).
CAS: We'll find out. You wait here.
DEAN: Whoa, wait. Excuse me?
CAS: Ishim said to come alone. He doesn't like humans. If I plan to do anything else stupid, I'll let you know.
Gif credit @inacatastrophicmind 👇
Tumblr media
So sassy here than even Sam is amazed, but mostly, he's pointing here Is him doesn't like humans. Again, is the huge difference between Castiel and the other angels. And how is seen Cas between his lore.
Disgusting
The encounter between Castiel and Ishim is very disgusting to see. Because Cas is a sweet bean, he's there to help to find out who killed his friend: Benjamin.
Castiel and Benjamin are alike, because based on what Cas said about Benjamin and his vessel, it seems as if this angel had the same love for humanity as Cas does.
CAS: Kept your vessels all this time. I'm impressed.
MIRABEL: We are not careless.
ISHIM:. But you, Castiel... I liked the old you better.
First of all, Cas is trying to be polite here, but he crashes against the rejection of the other angels. Mirabel is the first engaging, drawing there immediately, a boundary between them and Castiel. She's saying here: 'We're not careless, like you.'
Cas is surely not like them, and I infer he left his vessel because he respected the human will. He just ask her maybe for that one mission, and only.
MIRABEL: We've been waiting. I suppose it does take longer to get places now without our wings. You had a hand in that, correct?
ISHIM: Now, Mirabel, some angels think of Castiel as a hero. After he left us, he had his own flight to command. Balthazar, Uriel. Great soldiers. Both dead now, of course. You had a hand in that, too. So is he a hero? Is he a spanner in the works? I don't know.
CAS: I'm not a hero, but sometimes doing the right thing requires sacrifices.
ISHIM: True, but it just always seems that it's other angels sacrificing for your good deeds. Their wings, their lives.
CAS: Are you here to insult me or talk about Benjamin?
ISHIM: Can't we do both?
They're exposing Castiel's entire compendium of guilts. All of them, engaging without mercy against Castiel.
MIRABEL: In the years since we lost our wings, two others from our flight have been murdered, like Benjamin.
ISHIM: We're all that's left.
CAS: Why didn't I know about this?
MIRABEL: We didn't think you'd care.
That's exactly the idea they have about Cas. The filthiness of live among humans, bonding with one hairless ape. Cas is the one going against the Sacred Oath, before their eyes.
The hairless ape is not amused
Then we have Dean making his great and dramatic entrance, and almost sitting on Cas' lap! That, my friends, is showing a huge rate of defiance.
'So, you don't like us because we are together here? Watch me jump into my angel/boyfriend lap.'

Tumblr media
The message is received and we can see it in Ishim's face.
DEAN: Feel a little left out over there. Scoot over.
Dean is showing them here they came together, because they support each other. And they do whatever they want and not angel can change that.
The way Dean and ISHIM exchange glances is priceless. Because ISHIM keeps insulting Cas and Castiel's choice of stay with humans. Mostly, with Dean Winchester.
DEAN: Well, who wants some pie?
ISHIM: You know, when I knew Castiel, he was a soldier. He was a warrior. He was an angel's angel. Now look how far he's fallen.
Is official, they blame Dean, we heard it in season 7 too, and now here again. Cas fell for a human. (But... Didn't ISHIM too?)
The Mission
When the angel left, Sam and Dean were amazed about the way ISHIM treated Cas.
SAM: Hell of a friend, Cass.
DEAN: Why do you let him talk to you like that?
CAS: If Ishim can help me find whoever killed Benjamin, then I have to.
Truth is, deep inside, Castiel feels every word they said, and he thinks he deserves it. Depressed as he is in this season, he can only take the blame. Putting again the mission before everything.
The Lily comes killing Mirabel, and hurting ISHIM. And we are witnesses of fem!Cas and the mission.
Every angel in that mission were sure about one thing: VIOLATE THE SACRED OATH, WAS SENTENCE WITH DEATH.
Look at fem!Cas reciting this...
CASTIEL. Akobel, Seraphim of the Sixth Choir, you have lain with a human and you fathered a Nephilim. (...) You have broken our most sacred oath, and the penalty is... Death.
As I pointed before in season 8, the Nephilim is the union between a human and an angel, and is a forbidden relationship. THAT'S THE KIND OF NOT ALLOWED BOND WITH A HUMAN. And that's part of Castiel's POV too. Castiel struggling with this idea is permanent. Even with his rebellious nature, as @zevbaldwin added to the previous chronicles, the inner war is there. We will know more about this in the incoming episodes, and there's a fabulous episode in season 14x15 'Peace of mind', where writers talks about Castiel's POV again and the Sacred Oath.
There's no doubts about it. Nephilim should die and the angel that gave it birth, too. Because angels don't get laid with humans. Because is forbidden.
Akobel there is a perfect Castiel's mirror, loving and guarding humanity.
But once the story is told, look at this piece of dialogue...
SAM: Cass, you, um...
CAS: We completed a mission.
DEAN: Some mission.
CAS: It was horrific, but it was necessary. It was right.
DEAN: Well, you say so.
'We completed the mission's, as always, mission comes first, Castiel kept the speech of a soldier under orders. And Dean is not approving, why it is so bad if an angel wants to be intimately with a human? 'Well, you say so.' Dean adds. Kind of disappointed.
I have to cut again the analysis here, oh boy, this is Yockey, we can tell hahahaha.
To Conclude:
Castiel's depression is here again letting their old partners engaging against him, deep inside feeling he deserves it.
The Sacred Oath pointed no angel should intimate with a human, and is their sacred law, and writers shows it as an inner fight Castiel has for loving Dean. (Of course this won't be a problem once Cas discovers his father is the bad guy) but in the meantime, he is struggling with it.
Hope you like this meta, see you in the next one!

Destiel Chronicles
Volume LXXXVI
It was a love story from the very beginning
Lovers Separation (Part II)
Hi my friends!!! I bring to you another meta from season 12, this time a very meaningful episode, because it showed another foreshadow of lovers separation. Ugh, and tonight's episode... Like... Okay.
I will start now before crying all over hehehehe.
Gwen and Marcus: a love tragedy
The episode starts with these two lovers, having fun in the woods. But, pay attention to their wardrobe.
Tumblr media
Marcus is wearing blue (Castiel) and orange with a tone of beige, just like the trenchcoat. And Gwen is wearing Green (Dean).
They sat quietly to enjoy the evening...
Tumblr media
The tent is a mix of green and blue (Destiel) and Castiel mirror seats in a green chair while Dean's mirror seats in the blue. The colors and the scene are pointing at DESTIEL, so, what is about to happen, will be a foreshadow of Destiel tragedy at the end of the season.
Now... The dialogue here:
GWEN: I’ll miss this.
MARCUS: I’ll miss you. And I get it. I mean Washington has the best veterinary program in the country. You got in. I mean, you have to go. But people make this long distance thing work all the time, right?
Dean's mirror is not using the words correctly, Green should say I WILL MISS YOU. But is Marcus (Castiel's mirror) the one who says words correctly. And the long distance lovers is talking about the separation too. Is a blatant Destiel scene.
After this, we have Marcus going for more wood, and Gwen finds the ring in one of his boyfriend's gloves.
Tumblr media
This ring represents the bond, but also, it represents like the Locket in the previous episode, the Destiel mixtape. Is a visible sign of their romantic love for each other.
Then, the tragedy, because Marcus (Castiel's mirror) dies.
The words I should say
Dean and Sam arriving to the crime scene, and the mixing dialogues...
[Sam and Dean exit Baby at the crime scene, Sam talking on the phone to Mary, Dean talking to Cas]
DEAN: Oh, really?
SAM: Oh, that's great, Mom. Oh.- No, we're -- we're fine. We, uh...
DEAN: - It sounds like somethin'.
SAM: Yeah. Love you, too.
DEAN: All right, Cas. Let us know.
Why they mixed these two phone calls? Just like the mixing scenes Berens likes to write to show a point, this time, Perez mixes two chats. In which Sam ends the phone call with 'I love you too' to Mary, and Dean with 'All right. Let us know.' So, Sam is foreshadowing Dean's journey into expressing the L word, first to Mary, second to his Dad, third to Sam and the family that is TFW, and last, but truly very meaningful, the I LOVE YOU to Castiel.
Why? Because Cas already said it, but Dean didn't answered I LOVE YOU TOO, those are the words Dean needs to say.
Pay attention now to Gwen's house...
Tumblr media
She's dressed in green again, mourning Marcus. The coaches are red and blue, (Destiel again, but red showing Dean's anger after Castiel's death).
She explains she tried to kill the hellhound with an axe. This weapon represents anger too.
And then we have this scene between Crowley and Lucifer:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gif set credit @amal-albuloshia
This represents revenge, and ANGER, and is a foreshadow too for Dean and his crusade to kill Lucifer, saying yes to AUMichael. Because is Lucifer the one who will kill Castiel, and is Lucifer the one that haunts Sam.
But, returning to Gwen, and the words Dean should say... We had the car scene with her and Sam and this dialogue:
GWEN: I... [ Sighs ] I don't think I even know what “okay” means anymore. Marcus… going camping was my idea. I took him out there even though I knew. I knew it was over. I liked Marcus. He was sweet and kind. And he loved me. [inhales deeply] More than I ever loved him. More than… If I'd just told him… If I… Why couldn't I just tell him the truth?
SAM: Gwen...
GWEN: Yeah, but I didn't. [Voice breaking] I lied. I lied to make things easier. I… I'm sorry. I… We should go.
Regrets, the words she didn't say, she loved him. But she lied to herself she didn't to give it an end, but Marcus wanted to be with her. So she regrets to say those words. The same occurs with Dean. Dean couldn't said the L word back to Cas. Why? Because he is not ready, he keeps pushing his feelings down, repressing them. But he will learn how, slowly. Gwen is here Mourning!Dean, just like that widow in 11x15.
Sam lying to Dean vs Cas lying to Dean
We had Dean saying thank you to Crowley because he saved Cas, that meant a lot, the same way Benny saved Castiel in Purgatory, Dean shows gratitude.
At the end of the episode we had Cas lying by the phone to Dean, and Dean suspecting something was wrong.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gif set credit @shippershell
Castiel hates it, he doesn't like to lie, and mostly to Dean, but Dean feels deep inside something nos off with him.
Now... The scene in which Sam admits he's working with the BMoL caught my attention because Dean forgives him immediately.
DEAN: Well, okay.
SAM: Okay?
DEAN: What do you want me to say? Do I like it? No. Do I trust them? Hell, no. But you're right. We work with people we don't trust all the time. I mean, hell, I just Liam Neeson'd it up with Crowley. So if you wanna give this a shot, then… [ Scoffs ] Fine. But the minute-- and I mean the second-- something feels off, we bail.
SAM: Yeah. Of course. Deal.
The way Dean immediately forgives his brother and the way Dean won't forgive Castiel in 12x19 shows us the difference between FAMILY LOVE and ROMANTIC LOVE. Is because in the first, is family, and in the second, it hurts more because ranting reasons.
To conclude
This episode, just like the previous, talks about separation by death of two lovers. Is the foreshadow of the incoming tragedy at the end of this season.
Shows us too regrets, because Dean didn't said the words he needed to say, but it also starts the L WORD JOURNEY, our hunter will start soon.
I hope you like this meta, see you in the next one!

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXXVII
It was a love story from the very beginning.
The Empty is Coming (Part. I)
(12x16/12x17)
Hello my friends! How are you feeling? I'm so nervous I almost forgot I had to write this meta this week hehehehe.
Okay, i will talk here about the foreshadows for the Empty.
Let's start!
The dark forest and the beige coat
This is just like an exercise for us already, but, at the beginning of episode 12x16 we have two brothers walking down a dark forest...
Tumblr media
My observation about the dark forest is that it represents the Empty. And obviously, the guy that goes deeper inside the wood and dies is dressed in blue...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is another foreshadow for Castiel dying and going inside the Empty.
There's another interesting visual elements was the name of the bar from this episode...
Tumblr media
The Lucky Badger has green walls and the color red are over the words. Is clearly pointing at Dean.
The symbolism of the badger in different cultures linked it with ANGER and PROTECTIVENESS two characteristics inherent to Dean.
Is also interesting the meaning of the totem: when you dream with badges or a badge gets into your way, it means you need to express you inner hidden feelings. (I mean... Hello Dean, right?)
Okay, let's go with Mick and his beige coat.
Mick represented Castiel in this episode, and his tragic ending was another foreshadow too.
Check this little scene here, just for the visual Narrative... The gif credit is by @frozen-delight
Tumblr media
Okay beige coat and Dean pushing him against the wall, not just this time, but this one too (check his dark coat) gif credit by @justjensenanddean
Tumblr media
Against the wall again.
Okay, here comes the explanation to this:
Mick behaves just like Cas in episode 12x19. He deceived Dean and Sam to have an opportunity to do the DIRT JOB of killing that girl (bitten by a werewolf). Just like Cas will play with Dean and steal the Colt from Dean. Because Cas will try to do the dirt job to protect the Winchesters and kill the nephilim.
And we all remember what did Dean once he found his angel, right? He just platonically pushed him against the wall and they stared at each other with not sexual tension at all. Hahahahahaaha. Sorry, Destiel is canon now, so, we are saying truth here. Hehehehe.
Okay yes, there's a number 9 over there, and is Castiel, why? Because the number 9 in numerology means the sign of ideals, Universal interest and the spirit of combat for humanitarian purposes. It symbolizes the inner Light, prioritizing ideals and dreams, experienced through emotions and intuition. Hello Cas, right? And is behind Mick, as an affirmation of the Cas mirror.
And then, this dialogue here...
SAM: I mean, werewolves aren't like most monsters. Some can control it. I mean, we – we have a buddy got bit. Nothing but beef hearts ever since.
MICK: And you trust him? Well, killing is a fundamental need for werewolves. And monsters don't just stop being monsters.
DEAN: Well, Garth did.
Mick talks just like earliest Winchester but also, is the idea Cas repeats himself in his head once and once and again to make the dirty job. Like lying to himself because deep inside his true pure and kind feelings will won the battle. And he will became the nephilim father. Oh lord ...
Then Dean says Mick was acting weird the whole day.
The tragedy
Episode 12x17 starts with Mick killing his best friend in their Academy when they were children. Is a foreshadow of his own dead on Ketch's hands. The man he considered his friend. A dagger by the back, and a bullet by the back, betrayal. The same way Cas will die.
In this episode Mick keeps wearing the beige coat.
The BMoL CODE was a parallel to SACRED OATH for angels, and Dr. Hess was representing Heaven's orders, and Mick was Cas here, in rebellion.
So Dr. Hess was asking to kill Eileen... Pay attention bro this dialogue:
Mick: No. My entire life with the Men of Letters, I never broke a rule. And yes, at first I was shocked at how Sam and Dean operate. But what Lady Bevell doesn't mention is the lives they've saved, monsters destroyed, and outcomes made better not because of the Code, but because of Sam and Dean Winchester's sense of what's right.
Dr Hess: And that is the crux of the matter. The Code is not a suggestion. It's an absolute. The Code is what separates us from the monsters. It is the order by which we all live.
What a perfect parallel to the Sacred Oath and Cas invested in Heaven's mission of killing the nephilim. The angel trying to separate themselves from humans.
Well we know how this ended, right?
Also how Eileen ends... Again the parallel between Saileen and Destiel.
I want to point too the fact that Dean started to suspect even more something was wrong, because he kept calling Cas without success.
Cas [voicemail]: This is my voicemail. Make your voice a mail.
Dean [into phone]: Come on, Cass. I've called you three times now. Will you call me back? We've got a line on Dagon. We need your help.
Dean is mad but also very worried. And this will climb even more in the incoming episodes
To conclude:
The dark forest and Mick behavior and tragedy were a foreshadow for the Memory and Castiel's death.
It also showed the inner fight Castiel was having inside between doing what Heaven was commanding and his true feeling about killing an innocent.
The numbers was a perfect visual Narrative that gives us the hopes of Castiel's return.
Hope you like this meta! See you in the next one!

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXXV
It was a love story from the very beginning
Lovers Separation (Part I)
(12x13/12x14)
Hello my dears! I should add by death in the title, but according to the actual events in the show... I'm too emotional hehehee.
I will talk here about the amount of clues and foreshadow the writers were spreading all over the episodes, in which we will see Castiel's death and Dean's mourning for him.
The ship is gonna wreck
First picture we get is a woman dressed in blue pijamas, that dies. Another blue dressed victim that dies as a foreshadow of Castiel's death.
This episode talks about The Star, the ship that wrecked and sinked. And in the meantime, two lovers were separated by special circumstances.
The tragic love story is about Gavin McLoad and Fiona Duncan. They were destined to be together for the eternity once the ship sunk, but Gavin didn't board that ship, because Abaddon stopped him and dragged him to our times. So, Fiona became an avengeful ghost, pining for her lost love. Is a representation of the Destiel tragedy we will live at the end of the season.
The Locket and The Mixtape
The Locket was a gift Gavin gave to Fiona as a proof of his love.
GAVIN: I bought it myself. It was a gift for my Fiona.
ROWENA: Darlin', you had a wee girlfriend?
DEAN: Look at this. Added to the exhibit six months ago.
GAVIN: Fiona Duncan, the love of my life. When she found out I was going to America, nothing would do but I take her with me. I told her it was too dangerous.
Fiona would follow Gavin to the end of the world, just like Cas always manifest to Dean.
That gift, the Locket, was Gavin's way to say I LOVE YOU to Fiona, to give a tangible representation to their union, a commitment. To show her how much she meant to him. Is the perfect parallel for the Destiel mixtape. Because it was Dean's way to show Cas how important he is for him. Important not in a platonic way, because the meaning of the mixtape. When Gavin says 'I bought it myself' is remarking the intimate dedication he took by doing it, because the first was for the love of his life. Is the same with the mixtape, because DEAN MADE THE MIXTAPE HIMSELF THINKING ABOUT CAS. The intimacy of taking his time to choose the perfect songs that could apply to his feelings, to show Cas He loved him too. As a shy, not so committed answer, to that 'I love you' Cas said to him.
Living with the doubt if Cas had said those words platonically or not, Dean Winchester is not prepared yet to answer with his own words, so, he makes a mixtape for the love of his life.
The Separation and the Reunion
There's a scene with two teachers, Karen and
Elizabeth, drinking wine and having a good time inside the Pembroke School for Girls.
Elizabeth stands up and go inside a dark room searching for wine, leaving Karen behind. The dark room represents the Empty, and Elizabeth is Castiel, and she got stabbed in the back, just like our Angel.
Now, there's another beautiful scene, in wich Gavin calls Fiona through his words, reminding us to a prayer.
GAVIN: "O restless spirit, make thy presence known to me. Fiona? It is I, Gavin. Your Gavin. I must speak with you.
After this, Fiona makes her appearance, and finally, the lovers found each other and remained together to the end of times.
GAVIN: I...was thinking the same thing. I loved her. She loved me. That's the only reason any of this happened. I can spare her the nightmare she's trapped in. I cannae say I ever fit here. Here, I'm alone. Fiona and me, we'll spend eternity together.
Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs 👇
Tumblr media
What a perfect Castiel mirror in these last words, Cas said this season he still felt put of place. The last quote 'we'll spend eternity together' just gives me clues about my spec for a Destiel endgame, sharing vessel.
The Raid: about Dean's improvement and Sam future leadership
Just a few words about episode 12x14. Putting to a side the mommy issues, the episode divided the brothers joining them with their destinies.
Ketch, the killer, tried to bond with Dean, considering Dean was a killer too. But the difference between them was Dean's compassion.
Sam, Mick and Mary were trapped on the BMoL building, and were attacked by vampires, and Sam was the leader, giving orders and organizing the hunter and the MoL. As a foreshadow of the incoming battle between american hunter's and BMoL, and as a prelude of his role as a leader in season 14.
The image of monsters trying to hunt hunter's, is a futurist picture of AUMichael releasing his monsters army against humans in season 14.
To Conclude:
Gavin and Fiona love story is a Destiel mirror. The symbolism of the wrecked and sunken ship is another prelude to the lovers separation by death.
Hopefully, the lovers found each other at the end, to be together for the eternity.
Hope you like this meta, see you in the next one.

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXXIII
It was a love story from the very beginning.
Forget Me Not
(12x11)
Hello my precious friends!!! We are still in season 12, one of my favorite seasons.
This time we will talk about a very important episode for the storyline, 12x11 "Regarding Dean."
Foreshadow of Season 14 and Healing!Dean
I already talked about this episode in one of my spec from season 14, you can read it here.
Now, let's focus on Dean and the rabbit.
Gif credit @witchyanaels 👇
Tumblr media
The rabbit is a representation of introspection, new life. Regarding Dean was a very pivotal episode, Dean centric, that showed us how he ends choosing their hunting lives against happiness, just like in episode 14x13, where he chooses his present family (Cas and Jack) vs John Winchester (his past).
So when Sam says...
SAM: Yeah. We need to retrace your steps. All right, think.
Is exactly the way Dean will walk through season 14, retracing his own steps, introspection, Healing!Dean season. Grow up.
We have also Scooby Doo in this episode, every time this sweet dos appears, is a call back to Dean's innocence, one of the most important characteristics that will keep Dean strong to handle AUMichael possession.
Another important scene that foreshadowed AU!Michael possession and episode 14x13 was when Dean was looking his reflection on the mirror.
DEAN: Ahh. Okay. My name is Dean Winchester. Sam is my brother. Uh, Mary Winchester is my mom. And Cast—Cas is my best friend.
Dean is trying to focus and remember who he is, and to not forget the persons that are important to him. The way he utters Cas name, as if at first he was about to say his entire name, he has to backtrack and give that name the meaning, the importance. He doesn't call the angel Castiel, but Cas. His Cas.
This scene is very important, is a premonition of the possession and a prologue, again, to 14x13, in which we met a Castiel that never rescued Dean from Hell.
It also represents the introspection I was talking earlier. Dean will have to find who he really is, throughout season 14, to love himself, self acceptance, to finally aknowledge what he really wants.
So, the question in this episode was, WHO IS DEAN WINCHESTER?
We have hints of his innocence, with Scooby Doo, and this other side of the coin...
ROWENA: You can really remember nothing, can you? What a gift not to recall the things you've done.
DEAN: What have I done?
ROWENA: Oh, you're a killer, Dean Winchester.
Rowena is calling out the dark side of Dean, the regrets. The guilt. The Guilt is a heavy rock inside Dean's soul. His own old inner enemy, whispering into his ear he doesn't deserve to be saved and loved.
But, Rowena concluded this...
ROWENA: But... but... though you may be a stubborn pain in the arse with the manners of a Neanderthal and the dining habits of a toddler, everything you've done, you've done... for the greater good.
DEAN: Oh, and that's supposed to make it okay?
ROWENA: I wouldn't know. You help those other than yourself.
If you pay attention here, it seems as if Dean is talking with himself, is Dean's innocence questioning his adult self, and the excuse for the greatest good, must be the quote he repeats to himself each time Guilt comes to him.
Then, at the end of this introspection Journey, we have Dean choosing his present, against a happiness ignoring who they really are.
DEAN: Huh. Well, look, was it nice to drop our baggage? Yeah, maybe. Hell, probably. But it wasn't just the crap that got lost. I mean, it was everything. It was us, it was what we do, you know? All of it. So... that's what being happy looks like? I think I'll pass.
This is also the conclusion of episode 14x13 and it talks about improvement of character.
The Bond and the Empty
When the episode starts, we have again, a guy dressed in blue that dies. (Cas mirror and foreshadow of his incoming death).
We also have Dean loving Dory, a blue fish.
And another important thing happened, I mentioned too in the meta I linked before, this scene...

Immediately after seeing a bloody handprint on the log, Dean recalls Castiel, why? Because one of the most important episodes in his life had been to be rescued by Castiel, to meet Castiel and fall in love with him. So, the representation of all of that, is the handprint in his shoulder. That's why consciously or subconsciously, Dean recalls his angel when he sees a handprint.
Two more symbolisms of Castiel and the Empty, were marked by two visual Narratives.
If you were reading all my metas and specs from season 14 and 15, I said dark Forest represents the Empty.
So, in this episode, we had one of the witches walking in the middle of a dark woods. And he is dressed in blue. As a foreshadow of Castiel walking in the Empty.
We also saw a blue dissected butterfly in the witches' house, another symbolism and foreshadow of Castiel's death.
Dean is Bi
We had a clear reference to Dean's bisexuality in this scene:

We have at first Sammy asking if Dean rode Larry and is a huge second meaning in asking his brother I he's into man. Then we had the girl answering he did good, with her too, of course, so, what else should I say here? Perfect subtext about Bi!Dean settled by the writers.
To Conclude:
Regarding Dean was a pivotal episode that foreshadowed a lot of important topics that will be elaborated in the following seasons.
It was Dean's centric episode, driving the character to the introspection, and preparing him for the season 12 finale in which he will loose Castiel, and after that the possession and finally, Healing!Dean journey towards what he really wants in season 14.
Hope you like this meta, see you in the next one!
