Blatant and shamelessly ripping off the beautiful, Marianne Stokes and her “Death and the Maiden” for my deancas tendencies.

OK listen.
I love the confession for the absolutely heart wrecking romantic gesture it was. The act of pure love that brought a cosmic being true happiness in a way he has never known. The way he looked at Dean Winchester, still beautiful, and told him with his dying breath "I love you." Pure true romance.
But as a casgirl (TGP Janet voice: not a girl), I also think a lot about
Because you cared, I cared. I cared about you. I cared about Sam, I cared about Jack... I cared about the whole world because of you. You changed me, Dean
From a character arc perspective this makes me want to walk into the sea. It's so fucking beautiful.
Cas is talking about the transformative power of love. Metatron was right. He was in love with humanity BECAUSE he learned to love from Dean. Because he loves Dean. Even before he can put words to it. And therefore he does love the whole world.
Cas was a loyal soldier. Lobotomies acknowledged, he murdered for Heaven over and over. He killed kids.
He wasn't strolling through Hell, saw a beautiful soul, and decided to rescue it. He was on a mission and he believed it to be a righteous one. A good one. He was actively working to cause the apocalypse and thought Dean should believe it an honor to be used.
Watching him untangle that past and learn to love and more importantly to be loved is something that speaks to me.
He isn't seeking redemption. He doesn't think he's redeemable in that sense (or perhaps it's more accurate to say forgiveness is something that he can’t control. It must be given from people like Lily Sunder)
But he does believe he can change and love and build a family even though he can't undo his past.
He doesn't have to let the past define who he is, and he doesn't have to serve the purpose his family believes is set out for him.
In 15x15, Cas says:
Tumblr media
Like he still lives with his trauma but he isn't defined by it. He rebuilt himself and found a family and has a kid. He loves and is loved.
Anyway, yes he loves Dean, but he also loves the world. He also changed. And that is just as beautiful to me.

I DID et. *sobs*. My participation in @destieldtiyschallenge A time optimist. 10h straight sitting. #Only slow artist things. Original made by @keikakudom. Loved its nightly rainy spooky but also wholesome vibes, be sure to check it out💙💚 Also, it's strange to draw digital after doing a lot of trad. I feel like I've forgotten everything.

Thinking about Mary Campbell (The Winchesters) and Dean Winchester (Supernatural) and how they were raised to hunt and fight and shoot a gun.
It could have made them cruel. It could have made them cynical enough to stop caring about others.
But while it made it difficult for them to express their emotions, it also made them care. They responded to the cruelty of the world and the arbitrary nature of loss by caring more.
They were kind to kids. They fought harder for the saving people than the hunting things most of the time.
And they loved their family (found and genetic) deeply.
They saw a cruel world and said: I will not let this stand.

Too much heart was always Castiel’s problem. I don’t know what I’m drawing anyway.

...perhaps they'll listen now.
i bet this has been done many times buuut i really wanted to pay an homage to one of my favorite painters. that said, it's the first time i try to recreate his style digitally. it was fun, but also (isn't this the story of my life) a bit of biting off more than i can chew.
