hello yes hi. thanks for the chance to audition for this play it's an honor to be considered. i have decided to choose my own monologue. yes i know you provided some suggestions but i think this will best showcase my passion. okay. it's from a work of independent fiction. right a self published book. okay. thank you again. ahem. you have no idea what hard means hard is-- nothing like this! killing is easy i've done it more than you can imagine before you were even born. i took human lives in my father's name without hesitation, but you, you think this is hard--for you hundreds of my brothers died trying to free you from hell, and it was in your name i took the lives of those who survived, in nomine De

It is really funny how much some tumblr users build their understanding of what is taboo in a degenerate immoral fashion vs what is taboo in a subversive radical fashion exclusively on aesthetic appeal so they’re willing to drastically alter their moral stances based on what media they’re obsessing over currently

so if demons are sticklers for contracts, demand high payment for their services, and have firm/specific rules regarding summoning rituals (aka the hiring process & availability of their labor)—what i'm hearing is demons are fully unionized

Yuri on Ice officially going down in history today as the most insane fumble of a franchise that i’ve ever seen in my life

that one post talking about how supernatural fans know each writer by name and have an opinion on them and it’s like well yeah. one was writing destiel explicitly in the last few seasons, one is on twitter in 2024 saying that he did perceive destiel throughout his time of writing, and the others thought it was appropriate for the night we met by lord huron to be playing while writing a scene between two brothers. like where do you even go with this.

Rob: We got this question that we’ve been avoiding because it’s a lot of words. When Castiel is talking  to Dean in a truck about being human, the line that was aired is a different line that the script reads.

Ben Edlund: Sure.

Rob: So the line that aired is, Castiel says “I used to belong to much better club and now I’m powerless, I’m hapless , I’m hopeless, I mean, why the hell not bury myself in women and in decadence, right? It’s the end, baby, that’s what decadence is for. Why not bang a few gongs before the lights go out. But then, that’s just how I roll.” But the script reads “But instead we become this. The only thing, I think,  we have left, Dean and me, is each other. If Dean says it’s time to get out in the blaze of glory, win or loose, so be it. I’m in, but then, that’s just how I roll.” It’s just an interesting little difference.

Rich: Well somebody had to rewrite that, right?

Ben Edlund: Sure, I mean, like that was either a rewrite based on a note or something that- it’s possible that there was a shift in language that came from a pass through Kripke. To me that feels like a rewrite based on “ Ok, we know what the subtext is, bury it a little bit.” 

Rob: Gotcha.

Ben Edlund: Because, you know, it’s more interesting to know that an then have language kind of be less to the core. I mean, maybe not, sometimes you really want to go to that core.  But it didn’t seem necessary in that moment because look at the larger context. This guy is still hanging around. He’s going on a mission. And previously in the prior scene when he’s kind of like, when we used the word insouciant for the first and last time in Supernatural’s history. I believe, unless it gets quoted later in 15 seasons and I missed that. At that point he is totally ride or die with Dean. He’s basically “You say we a going on a suicide mission and there’s no hope or whatever” and Dean’s going “Yes, that’s what I’m saying” and he goes “Okay, let me go get the truck.” And so, in a sense, it was like- I would’ve done the same thing today. If that makes sense. Looking at the whole. 

Rob: I like the idea of burying it more and not serving it on a platter. Letting people- 

Ben Edlund: Mainly because all the other aspects of that story tell us that. Show us that, actually. That’s the whole thing. Show us, not tell us. I’ve heard that at some kind of seminar.

Ah, since everyone is posting their amazing stuff, I’m gonna post my Rowena too. I’m really glad that I could be part of another @supernaturalartbook project, thank you, gyus!  It’s my last fanart for this how, but I enjoyed drawing her so much, since she was my all time favourite.

in 2021 we would have considered ben edlund saying he entertained the possibility of destiel as another “destiel just went canon” event. just fyi
