Supernatural ramblings, part 3 -- (tl:dr)
Part one SPN Ramblings
Part two SPN Ramblings
This is the silly post. Not that the other two were even remotely serious. It's also shorter, so there's that.
Where I talk about Chuck
What even is time anyway.
What cracks me up is that in the gazillionty number of years of Chuck's existence, he arrived at the nano-second of humanity, landed on the 21st Century, then slammed on the brakes and said NOPE. No further! Screeches everything to a halt. I mean, seems fair, tbh. I guess because he couldn't see his own death, or see past it. Like a prophecy -- the more you fight against it the more you make it happen.
That's why he uses the universe as his own personal choose your own adventure book, playing it over and over again to see what all the different endings are. In one version, you get a planet that's just squirrels!
We’re left to speculate what's different about this world versus all the other worlds. I think it's unconditional love. Chuck can manipulate like a champ, but he can't make Sam and Dean kill each other.
This is my headcanon:
~God exists, in all things.
~God is supposed to exist in everything. It's implied that Chuck doesn't, but God does.
~Chuck is the light. Or was. He creates life, but he doesn't create free will. Angels don’t start off with free will. (Does Eve have free will? Don't think so. What is Eve anyway???)
~Chuck creates the universe, spends billions upon billions of years in pure creation, then evolution bites him in the ass and human beings appear.
~Someone let the serpent into the garden. Was it Gadreel on his own? Was it Chuck using Gadreel and then setting him up for it? Either way, humans are kicked out of the garden, whatever that means, but then we have free will. (The creation myth and evolution exist together somehow. Cool.)
~Chuck needs free will because otherwise he can't get Sam and Dean to kill each other of their own free will.
~Chuck takes the writing advice of kill your darlings literally.
~In any given timeline, Humans have only been around for a nano-second. And they're terrifying. Defiant. They can change the nature of an angel of the lord simply by existing.
~Free will can be taught. It's contagious!
~Sam and Dean are the messengers of God's destruction, and their message is simply choosing not to kill each other because free will is a bitch. And they also have Jack, because they chose to save him, they chose him over Chuck.
~Jack is a child of the divine with a human soul, he dies, he's resurrected, he loses his soul, he dies again, he's resurrected again, he earns his soul back, he is transformed, he takes in all of Chuck's power and all of Amara's power, light and dark, he becomes God. He has free will. He chooses not to follow in Lucifer's footsteps or his grandfather’s, he chooses his own fathers, and they each leave their mark on him.
~Jack now exists in all things.
~To exist in all things, Jack, who is now the real God, now exists in all time and space. Jack's existence expands everywhere and everywhen.
~God exists, in all things.
How I see it, Jack was always the one and only God. Effect before cause. He can't change anything Chuck did, can't change any part of human history, or all those things that happened to Sam and Dean and to him, but he existed right alongside it at all times.
Hey the writers did the time is meaningless thing first so I think that's fair game. This is like the most pseudo-religious post I've ever made. (I am not remotely religious.)
Adventures in note taking
With 15 seasons that each had 20+episodes, there was no way I can keep it all in my mind. It's like that video of the woman trying to hold all the puppies in her arms. So I took notes while I watched to help me remember. Most of it is just reactions, but some of it is fucking hilarious. Or at least it's hilarious to me, and I'm the only one that matters here.
Here are a few highlights:
SPN is a tour through the evolution of the cell phone. I miss flip phones!
Chuck coming out as God is a bit like if Thomas Kincaide came out as Banksy --- (hahaha!)
I want Death and Chuck to be brothers - (oh yeah, I forgot about that. Early thoughts after Chuck was revealed to be God, I wanted Death and Chuck to be brothers and the final showdown to be between them. Turned out it was a sibling thing with Chuck! But they went another direction.)
The way you can just take a day trip to hell, or jaunt over to purgatory for the afternoon. I feel like they need a eurrail pass. Like, if you could just find the right kiosk you could ask for the Heaven-Earth-Purgatory-Hell travel pass and you're good to go! For an extra $20 bucks you can add in alternate worlds.
Is Chuck like, "I'm going to make them stay at a Tiki motel this time, mwahahaha."
I like that Castiel doesn't look like what he looks like.
I am deprived of ever seeing an angel as tall as the Chrysler building with eleventy wings and 9 heads one of which is a lion.
The art of the blood splatter
They do have lovely hands and arms
This show introduced me to the fandom term "gencesties" and I do not thank it for it.
Lucifer starts off as evilly serene, whispering in your ear, but then he turns into Evil Teaser McTeaserson, I will irritate you into evil.
KNEEL BEFORE TODD
Imma put them on a shelf, like sun-ripened tea - (hahah I have no idea what this is in reference too, but I think it's about waiting to see how Sam and Dean mature).
Why is Osiris micro-managing the guilty people in this one bar in middle-america?
Everyone has an angel blade now. Can you order one on Amazon?
Between writing and gardening, Chuck should have stuck to gardening.
Are nephilim like mules? Nephilim are supposed to be the offspring of an angel and a female human. A mule is a product of a male donkey and a female horse. If you cross it the other way (male horse/female donkey) you get a hinny instead. Basically my point here is that angels are donkeys.
I went from "awww Chuck is God how cute” to “Oh yikes Chuck is God and he wiLL
deSTROY yOu" snaps fingers.
Sometimes I wonder if Castiel goes around at night and without them knowing heals Sam's concussed head and unclogs Dean's arteries.
I’m amused thinking Sam & Dean get invited to the New Canaan Clam Bake the next year. (from Ask Jeeves)
Seriously though, where does the ambient light source in the bunker bedrooms come from???
(I just have the word “ATROCITY” written next to There’s No Place Like Home haha. Leave Oz alone!)
Sometimes I want MCU Thor to show up and be all 'what’s all this then' at Chuck --- (hahahah! To be fair, adding MCU Thor to anything is just standard operating procedure for me)
It's hilarious to think that any writer has even an iota of control over their fictional creations. Those fuckers have minds of their own.
Dean is lactose intolerant. Welcome to the club, pal.
Why are Dean and Castiel so growly? Give your vocal chords a rest, my dudes. Polyps are a thing.
From what I can tell (before Jack and Castiel fixed it) Heaven is like the Star Trek Nexus.
I am disappointed that neither Death nor Billie rode a pale horse. Methos has one up on both of them.
British Men of Letters is like The Accords in the MCU --- (hahah that is some random insight right there but I don't recall what my thought process was)
Best Seinfeld voice: "Winchesters"
That's too much angst - (hahahhaha. No idea when I wrote that)
These boys are EXHAUSTING. I feel like I deserve my own Heaven Pod for surviving the series -- (was I channeling Castiel when I wrote that?)
All the ghosts having a ghost meeting in broad daylight in a suburban house looking like they're cast members for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. (this is from the top of S15. They do look like they're all in stage productions with rented costumes).
So Adam and Cain have both been alive since the dawn of man. Cool. Coolcoolcool. Did they hang out? Did they forgive each other? Did they have awkward Christmases? Which would be hilarious on so many levels. Were cards sent on holidays?
It's trippy (to me) that besides alluding to the sacrifice of Isaac, Moriah also happens to be the first name of the young actress from The Prophecy.
