I love your meta so much. Especially right now. I've been seeing so much negativity on my dash recently complaining about Gabriel, the AU, Charlie, Buckleming, Cas' absence, etc, etc. Idk why, but it seems like every spn blog I follow rn is simultaneously freaking out about something, and it's really putting a damper on my enjoyment in the fandom. So just thanks for your meta, and so clearly explaining why everything makes sense. I wish all these ppl I follow would just come read your stuff 😟
Aww, I’m glad you’re enjoying my lil oasis of relative chill, and yeah I’ve been saddened and frustrated by some of the negativity too, but I’ll tell you what...
I do 100% understand where folks’ negative feelings are coming from, and I don’t expect everyone to watch the show the way I do. Everyone’s got stuff that bugs them, everyone’s got their own personal headcanons that they have accepted and held on to-- sometimes for years as regards characters that have been absent from the narrative as long as Gabriel has, for example-- and any suggestion that those headcanons and personally accepted theories can feel like a direct challenge.
A lot of what we do in fandom is purely emotional, you know? We love the characters, we see parts of ourselves in them, and when the show challenges our understanding of them, it can feel like a personal attack. I completely get why people might be upset about Gabriel returning.
Aside from his appearance in 9.18, where he wasn’t even real but Metatron’s literal narrative device inside the false reality experience he put Castiel through, we haven’t been given any reason to believe that Gabriel’s apparent sacrifice in 5.19 wasn’t exactly what it seemed.
The thing is, Fanon Gabriel has evolved into something very different from what Canon Gabriel ever was. He’s one of those characters where a LOT of people doubted his death had been real back in s5 just because his standard operating procedure had been deception and evasion.
There’s a post that I saw years ago regarding angel deaths that said, “Wings or it didn’t happen.” Because we know that when angels die, we see their wing prints burned into the ground/wall/whatever. But then Gabriel’s “death” scene was added with some commentary along the lines of, “Oops.” Because we saw his wing prints, and people STILL refused to believe they were real, and that it wasn’t just another trick of the trickster, and that he’d be back to fight another day.
Thing is, over the years that Gabriel DIDN’T return, people began to assume it was because he really was dead, because why WOULDN’T he have come back to deal with any of the other nonsense-- beginning with Raphael’s attempt to restart the apocalypse even after Gabriel’s presumed self-sacrifice in an attempt to stop it? People accepted that Gabriel had been convinced to nobly sacrifice himself trying to stop Lucifer, and that he’d truly “redeemed” himself in doing so. That his supposedly selfless act had tied up his character arc with a tidy bow.
But... that’s not what happened, and at first I was ???? about why they would want to open this long-closed set of wounds, but then I actually used my brain to contemplate WHY they would choose to bring him back now, and WHY they would supposedly “retcon” what on the surface had appeared to be a “good death” for Gabriel.
And I realized they haven’t retconned anything, and those old wounds had been festering for the last eight years, because nothing about Gabriel even remotely suggested he’d redeemed himself. And not just for Gabriel’s own personal redemption arc, but because how UGLY the fact that Gabriel having been allowed a “noble death” somehow excused all the bullshit he’d lumped on Sam since 3.11. Mr. “Shut Up And Play Your Roles” was only playing his own role all along... he was the messenger, he delivered the message, and then got the heck outta Dodge. I mean... this is the most in-character thing Gabriel said:
SAM: No, Gabriel, don't -- you -- you can't just walk away. If Michael comes here, he will end this world.GABRIEL: And the last time the world was ending, I put my money on you. I think you can pull it off again.
He’s still delivering messages and flapping off again. Like he said way back in 5.08, he doesn’t care who wins or loses, he just wants all the fighting to be over. He doesn’t care how it happens or even if it takes all of creation with it.
So what’s the one thing he’s said that contradicts this read of Gabriel? What he said to Lucifer in 5.19 about humanity:
LUCIFER: So you're willing to die, for a pile of cockroaches. Why?GABRIEL: Because Dad was right. They are better than us.LUCIFER: They are broken. Flawed! Abortions.GABRIEL: Damn right they're flawed. But a lot of them try. To do better, to forgive. And you should see the Spearmint Rhino! I've been riding the pine a long time. But I'm in the game now, and I'm not on your side, or Michael's. I'm on theirs. 
But then we learn what actually happened... because why would Gabriel suddenly have gone from teaching lessons to humans who didn’t live up to his personal code to willingly DYING, and dying POINTLESSLY on their behalf?
CASTIEL [reading the Enochian]: “Per usual, my brother had double my brawn and half my brains. He assumed the counterfeit me was what vanished that night, and he thought that he'd stabbed the real thing. The truth is, the thing Luci skewered was a fake. [flashback showing the real Gabriel watching Lucifer kill an illusion.] There are plenty of fakes to go around. Everyone believed Gabriel was gone. And suddenly, I was free. No obligation to God or Heaven, or mankind. And so, I did what anyone would do -- I moved to Monte Carlo and shacked up with porn stars.”
THAT is actually in line with everything we’d learned about Gabriel up to that point. If, you know, you don’t apply any of the fanon!Gabriel stuff that’s been draped around the actual canon!Gabriel’s character.
For one, I am THRILLED that he’s back, because if ANYONE deserves to give Gabriel a piece of his mind, it’s Sam Fucking Winchester. 
And I’m willing to wait for Gabriel’s return in 13.20 to get the full story, because I’ve NEVER actually been satisfied that Gabriel’s redemption-by-death in 5.19 wasn’t just the final cruel trick he played on Sam. And his parting words to Sam in 13.18 kinda proved that point to me.
Now as to the AU, I have no idea how AN ALTERNATE, ENTIRELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE is supposed to be anything other than a point/counterpoint comparative tool to the original narrative. I have no idea how it’s even possible for A DIFFERENT WHOLE UNIVERSE is supposed to change any of the facts we know about the regular SPN universe, so people getting pissy about “retcons” in the AU are just spinning their emotional wheels in the mud here. If it makes them happy to be mad about stuff, I guess go off or whatever, but it’s like comparing Portland Maine to Portland Oregon and being mad they’re not the same place.
Now as to AU Charlie, I wrote a post the other day that pretty much covers my feelings on the fandom reaction to her:
http://mittensmorgul.tumblr.com/post/172915586795/how-do-you-feel-about-the-au-characters-that-are
But Gabriel? Yeah, I’d been meaning to post something about why I felt like it was the perfect time for him to return to the narrative, because he never really did earn any sort of a REAL redemption, and I love the fact that the show is truly acknowledging that.
He was the original “Play The Roles Destiny Has Written For You” character that TFW (and ESPECIALLY SAM) has desperately needed some resolution with for YEARS. He’s absolutely central to the “As Above, So Below” apocalypse era stuff that was only even remotely resolved by 11.23. And since he’s part of the unresolved threads that spun out of the post 5.22 fallout when the original ending was torn up, and Sam didn’t end up spending the rest of eternity in the cage with Michael and Lucifer, because locking up problems to make them go away isn’t actually a real solution to the problem here, and we’ve been going back and looking for the roots of all the actual problems and digging them out and actually dealing with them properly... well, if you like Sam at all, and hate the idea that he’d ever have to sacrifice himself and his autonomy and his own humanity in order to save a world that he wasn’t responsible for breaking... I mean, Gabriel didn’t break it either, but Chuck’s already dealt with his “original sin” of locking up Amara. Now it’s the archangels’ turn to deal with the problems of their own making...
And even if he was only ever a side player in that original apocalypse nonsense, Gabriel still played his own role, delivering the message. Now he gets to write his own script. Let’s see if his message is different this time around. If he’s got some better words.

The Indian markets were trading over half a per cent higher in Monday's range-bound session, lifted mainly by pharma stocks.
Among the benchmark indices, the S&P BSE Sensex rose 330 points to 38,370 levels and the Nifty50 index hovered around the 11,300 mark. Mahindra & Mahindra (up 6%) and Larsen & Toubro (up 5%) were the top Sensex gainers. Meanwhile, Divi's Laboratories surged 15 per cent after the announcement of its June quarter results.
Shares of defence equipment manufacturers and suppliers rallied up to 11 per cent on the BSE after the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on Sunday a phased, year-wise embargo on the import of 101 items of defence equipment. READ MORE
The Nifty sectoral indices were trading in the green, led by Nifty Pharma index, up 5 per cent.

CATCH ALL THE LIVE UPDATES Auto Refresh 01:35 PM 'Quality' stocks come at a premium, valuations have crossed pre-Covid level The valuation for most ‘quality’ stocks has surpassed their pre-Covid levels following a sharp run-up in stock prices. According to Kotak Institutional Equities’ analysis, one-year forward (FY22) price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple for 30 of 32 top companies across sectors is currently higher than the pre-Covid levels.

01:23 PM Shipping Corporation jumps 9% on Rs 317 crore profit in June quarter Crude tankers were increasingly sought after by refiners and traders during the quarter to store crude oil on the high seas due to a slump in global crude prices and lack of storage space on-land. The tanker fleet, SCI’s largest division, account for more than half of the total fleet but in terms of tonnage (capacity), it constitutes close to 80 per cent of the total dead weight tonnage (DWT). The tanker division was the only segment that registered a growth in revenue on a yearly basis, at Rs 861.46 crore compared to Rs 571.25 crore in Q1FY20. READ MORE

12:58 PM BUZZING STOCK:: M&M surges over 5.7%
12:49 PM MARKET UPDATE:: Broader indices outperform benchmarks
12:38 PM Telecom stocks gain ahead of SC hearing on AGR COMPANY LATEST(RS) CHG(%) VODAFONE IDEA 9.18 3.96 BHARTI AIRTEL 563.00 0.43 TATA COMM 854.70 5.00 » More 12:32 PM BROKERAGE VIEW:: YES Securities on Birla Corporation RATING: BUY | TARGET PRICE: Rs 943
We have upgraded EBITDA estimates by 5%/1.9% for FY21E/FY22E respectively due to better than anticipated demand and pricing in May‐June combined with cost optimization measures. Accordingly, we expect peak net debt/EBITDA for BCORP at 3.3x in FY21E (despite factoring in that BCORP will not receive any subsidies in FY21E) vs the previous est. of 3.6x.
12:29 PM BROKERAGE VIEW:: Edelweiss Securities on Vodafone Idea Vodafone Idea (IDEA) reported a plunge of 9.3% QoQ in Q1FY21 revenue with 11mn subscribers fleeing the network and ARPU eroding to Rs 114 from Rs 121. Strong cost control and a dip in churn, however, drove EBITDA outperformance, but sustaining revenue traction, in our view, is crucial for sustaining the business. The company’s low capex underpins the fall in 4G subscribers, thereby constraining the balance sheet that is further fettering its ability to invest. In our view, the only way out of this vicious cycle is upfront capex and tariff hikes. For that, an early resolution of the AGR matter, and subsequent monetisation of the Indus Towers stake and fibre assets is crucial. The supreme court has scheduled a hearing on the matter on 10 August, which should provide more clarity. Retain ‘REDUCE’ with a revised TP of Rs 8 (Rs 9 earlier) as we factor in a lower ARPU due to slowing 4G subscriber addition.
12:27 PM BROKERAGE VIEW:: Edelweiss Securities on Kajaria Ceramics Kajaria Ceramics (KJC) posted weak Q1FY21 numbers, largely in line with estimates. While revenue declined 60% YoY to Rs 2.8bn, the company reported EBITDA and net losses of Rs 76mn and Rs 271mn, respectively. April was a complete washout with volumes plunging 61% YoY in Q1FY21; gradual recovery set in from July with 78% utilisation and a current run rate of 85-100% across plants. Management highlighted that demand in major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, among others, was down 20-25%, which was partially offset by a pick-up in smaller cities. We believe growth visibility remains hazy as some part of the current volumes reflect pent-up demand and we expect the cost savings to reverse from H2FY21. Maintain ‘HOLD’ with TP of Rs 337 (19x FY22E EPS).
12:25 PM BROKERAGE VIEW:: Axis Securities on Britannia Industries RATING: BUY | TARGET PRICE: Rs 4,300
The low ticket price of the product and consumers' preference for trusted brands will continue to drive in-home consumption and market share gains for BRIT in the near to medium term. Additionally, healthy growth in adjacencies business, sustained product launch momentum, distribution penetration (esp in rural areas), RM tailwinds in the near term to drive a healthy growth momentum. We believe, Britannia provides the most visibility on earnings front in FY21 vs some of the other consumer stocks and thus remains one of our top picks in the FMCG-staples space.
12:23 PM BROKERAGE VIEW:: Anand Rathi Shares on Blue Star RATING: BUY | TARGET PRICE: Rs 626
Considering the continuing challenging situation, after the Q1 FY21 results we lower our FY21e/FY22 PAT 60%/41%. However, we continue to recommend a Buy with a target of Rs 626 (25x FY23e EPS of Rs 25) as we roll over our target price based on FY23e earnings.
Risks: Unseasonal rainfall and an extended winter could impact demand for room ACs and other commercial products.

Moto G9 Price in India, SpecificationsKey Specs
Launch Date : August 24, 2020

Ram : 4 GB
Internal Memory : 64 GB
Front Camera : 8 MP
Rear Camera : 48 MP + 2 MP + 2MP

Dimensions : 165.21 x 75.73 x 9.18

Camera and Performance
Talking about the lenses, the Moto G9 has a triple rear camera configuration where the first one is a 48MP main sensor, the second one is a 2MP depth sensor and the third one is a 2MP macro lens.
Motorola Moto G9 is powered by a 2GHz Qualcomm octa-core Snapdragon 662 cpu. It’s coming with a 4 GB of RAM. The Motorola Moto G9 runs Android 10 and is powered by a 5000mAh unremovable battery.
You’ll also get Motorola ‘s impressive G9 Night Mode. So far, I’ve tapped a few photos, and they’ve kept me satisfied. The Night Mode is certainly one of the best I’ve ever seen on this section of the handset. Keep tuned for an in-depth analysis of the full review.
The Moto G9 uses a 662 conservative Snapdragon chipset. It is technically a new chipset, but is only a minor upgrade over the Snapdragon 660. Motorola has combined it with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of data. This mix is definitely not the best in the price group.
There’s even an 8MP selfie camera on the front of this handset. In addition , users can get camera features such as auto-smile capture, HDR, facial perfection, and manual mode on this handset.
Motorola Moto G9 is based on the Android 10 operating system. It runs on 4 GB of RAM for multitasking and background operations on the network, while the graphics specifications of the handset are handled by the Adreno 610 GPU.
Moto G9 has 64 GB of built-in storage that you can use to store your favorite applications and games. Also, the handset has an additional slot card for storing up to 512 GB.
Connectivity and Features
The company has offered functionality such as 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth version 5.0, NFC and USB Type-C in terms of connectivity to the Moto G9 handset.
Apart from that one, this smartphone has the support of a 5,000 mAh battery, which is fitted with a 20-watt fast charging mode. Around the same time, the device weights 200 grams.
Connectivity options for Motorola Moto G9 include Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, GPS, Bluetooth v5.00, NFC, USB Type-C, FM radio, 3 G , and 4 G (with support for Band 40 used by some LTE networks in India).
Also See : Realme 7, Realme 7 Pro Price in India, Launching soon, Check out Detail Review
Phone sensors include an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, a touch sensor and a fingerprint sensor. The Motorola Moto G9 supports unlocking the mask.
Motorola arrives with a new plan in the shape of the Moto G9. Instead of brag-worthy numbers, the emphasis here is solely on user experience.
Also See : How Future of the Technology will affect us, Inventions, Top Tech Jobs in Future
Though I reserve my verdict on results for a thorough analysis, all I can say for the time being is that the Moto G9 is good enough for day-to-day boring smartphone tasks. The Snapdragon 662 is basically a low-end processor and also shows its limits. However, I’ve got an early phone project, and Motorola can issue software updates to repair bugs before the first sale happens.
