the way it's night for many miles

Two posts in the same afternoon? D:

But oh well. I FEEL LIKE SPREADING SOME LOVE.

Meme stolen from lavendergaia :

Comment here and I will tell you why I like/love you.

Even if we don't talk much, heck even if we have NEVER spoken, I want EVERYONE to participate. If you want to share the love and do the same at your journal, go ahead. You're under no obligation to carry it on if you comment here.

Go on everyone needs more love in their life.

I've got class in ten, but when I get back, I'll have lots of love to spread around. <3

And have a poem:

Meanwhile

Driving, dogs barking, how you get used to it, how you make

                the new street yours.
Trees outside the window and a big band sound that makes you feel like
              everything's okay,
       a feeling that lasts for one song maybe,
                                    the parentheses all clicking shut behind you.
                     The way we move through time and space, or only time.
The way it's night for many miles, and then suddenly
                                                                                  it's not, it's breakfast
      and you're standing in the shower for over an hour,
                                               holding the bar of soap up to the light.
I will keep watch.  I will water the yard.
              Knot the tie and go to work.  Unknot the tie and go to sleep.
                                                             I sleep.  I dream.  I make up things
      that I would never say.  I say them very quietly.
                                                  The trees in wind, the streetlights on,
                    the click and flash of cigarettes
being smoked on the lawn, and just a little kiss before we say goodnight.
             It spins like a wheel inside you: green yellow, green blue,
                                                                         green beautiful green.
       It's simple: it isn't over, it's just begun.  It's green.  It's still green.

BEWARE, RAMBLE COMING IN!

I think I get it now. You don’t think of On the Head of a Pin as a bad episode because of bad writing (except Uriel’s death), acting etc. but because it addressed all those issues the characters had/have with themselves and each other.

Yeah, the ending was heartbreaking. You’re completely right about it highlighting the fact that the bond between Sam and Dean is drastically damaged. However, I also think that showing this (for instance Dean saying that he doesn’t know if he can trust Sam anymore this season) is the first step towards the boys building a new relationship between them. Because, let’s face it, they were destroying each other (and that’s just not something I can endure. So if breaking up is what it takes, so be it. I just want them to be at least somewhat happy with each other. :) )

I think that it touched you that much actually made it a good episode, maybe not one you’d like to see again but good non the less.

I have some thoughts about the torture thing as well :) :

Honestly, I think of the angels a bit like of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages.
Their view on torture as a legitimate measure to gather information (which it obviously isn’t) and also that whole sacrificing people for the greater good theme seem to belong to another (thankfully long past) time. Where the demons adapted to the modern cunningly using lies (and sometimes truths) to get what they want, the angels seem to be stuck on long outdated brute force. (This is one of the reasons why I don’t think the angels could actually win the war without having some seriously impressive secret weapon, namely Michael. And even with him on their side I’m not too certain the victory will be theirs.)

In my opinion, Dean didn’t go along with it because of the information but because he wanted revenge. Alastair was the one who got him to give in and torture in the first place. But he also knew that with torturing again he would go back to being the monster Alastair made him into. This is what scared him, what made him say that Castiel wouldn’t like what came out of that room if he made Dean go in. (I don’t think Castiel understood this, maybe the different emotions where too complicated or too human for him but I’m pretty sure he thought Dean was afraid of Alastair and nothing more.)
(And those other occasions Dean/Sam tortured – honestly, I can only think of Meg now, sorry ^^°° - they were white-hot angry and it was always about family, the one thing they don’t seem to have a moral-code about.

Castiel:
I actually changed my opinion a bit while writing but the comment was already (or already was? Could you tell me which one’s right? ^^°°) enormous and I didn’t know how to say it anyway…

I came to a similar conclusion as you did but with one tiny difference. For a little while (at least in those last episodes of season 4) Dean was Castiel’s substitution for God. Castiel didn’t know what to believe anymore, he was at least somewhat certain that the other angels weren’t making the right choices and God wasn’t there anymore so he turned to Dean (somewhat of a knee-jerk reaction) and did what he thought Dean was asking of him.
I’m pretty sure with Dean “failing” to stop the apocalypse he lost that certain faith again and started to look for God instead. (He probably wouldn’t have started to look for Him if Dean had been able to stop Sam.)
So yeah, Castiel cares for Dean but maybe love is too strong a word. (If an angel can even love in the human sense of the word)
Castiel’s not doing God’s work by helping Dean but Dean simply is the next best thing for him to believe in. (which sounds more heartless that it probably is since at least he cares for Dean on a personal level beyond the his “weapon-status”.)

Hmmmm… I think we saw to little of Uriel to really be able to tell his motives but I think he might have fallen for similar reasons Lucifer once did. (Not the loving God too much but the not understanding how such imperfect creatures like humans could be worth more of the Lord’s love than he. And like Lucifer he wanted to take others down with him.)

Awwww, I would love that too! <3 (+ Now I have a reason to re-watch season 4! xD)

Thanks for the fic, going to read it now! :D
