#sam and enochian

[ananke-xiii]

"It's funnier in Enochian!"

One thing I wish the writers continued on SPN is the "Enochian jokes".

I mean, one of my headcanons (well, not so much of a hc but we don't see it in later seasons) is that Cas keeps trying to be funny translating jokes from Enochian to English (just like the famous "You breed with the mouth of a goat") and people generally be like "WTF???" but then one day Sam actually gets one of those damn jokes (after so many years something just clicks) and the whole bunker is like "OMG this really really happened", like that would be THE signal that Cas is officially part of the family lol

I dunno, I find that laughter brings people together like nothing else can and I also understand the struggle of trying to be funny in another language (like, some stuff is just funnier in my native tongue and it's frustrating that it doesn't translate, you know?).

Anyway, I find it silly and cute and I wish we had more of these silly little moments <3

Ok imagine Sam and Castiel talking about some random angel-related problem, and Dean's half listening but he suddenly sits bolt upright because Sam and Castiel have slipped into Enochian. And are seemingly unaware of this fact. Eventually they switch back to English. They keep switching, all unaware, and gradually Dean realizes that they're switching whenever they need a word that their current language doesn't have. (also imagine that Sam speaks a somewhat archaic form of Enochian because Lucifer wasn't around for the eons during which the language changed - slowly, but it still changed - and Castiel finds his phrasing and accent beautiful)

*practically vibrating* OOOOOMG! This is like at the center of most of my "Sam speaks Enochian" headcanons and imagines!

Okay, but hear me out. (Sorry, about to make it angsty.) Lucifer and Michael were pretty much his ONLY sources for learning it. So he learned what he heard from them. I'd imagine there might be a few gaps in his knowledge, due to some subjects just never coming up when they were all down there.

So, one time Sam and Cas are conversing and Cas uses a word in Enochian and Sam gives him a quizzical look. Cas realizes he doesn't know that word. And he connects the dots and realizes why. And his expression softens with a hint of sadness. "Love. It means love, Sam."

A fic where Gabriel and Cas talk to each other in Enochian, particularly about their 'unrequited' love for the Winchesters.

Sam and Dean can only pick up bits and pieces, since they don't really know enochian

[the-gray-ghosty]

Sam often wakes up in the middle of the night and mumbles in enochian to Dean and Dean just goes with it like he can understand

*Sam starts mumbling in enochian, waking Dean up.*

"Yeah Sammy, what's goin' on?"

*more enochian mumbling*

"That's cool baby, why don't we go back to sleep, huh?"

"Mmm G'nite Dean"

"goodnight Sammy"

My new kink: sam winchester speaking enochian.

[blushingsastiel]

idk sam and castiel flirt with their eyes, talk with just their eyes,,, and possibly eye fuck ??? omg, i love that headcanon where sam learns enochian from his time in the cage. so,,, sam and castiel speak enochian to each other. what if sam confessed to castiel in enochian and not english because he wanted to catch castiel off-guard JJFKJSFS. but he's literally an angel of the lord so it did nothinggg. castiel just shoved sam into a wall and kissed his breath away.

im an enochian sam truther in the way that he can't describe the weather or a house but he could write an essay on how to excise your nerves to use as dental floss, he could transcribe the kama sutra, he could whisper sweet nothings that shatter every window of a skyrise. he can't understand the protections carved into his ribs but he could pluck out every one of his teeth and etch a different term of endearment into each of them. he doesn't know the word for fork but he knows the word for blade and he knows exactly where to cut to find every vessel of his intestines. they gave them names.

Lucifer referencing stuff from the Cage would so obviously fuck Sam up considering Sam hasn't told anyone like anything and Lucifer could cherry pick and recontexualise things to derail everyone. He does not do it because he enjoys that Sam's so fucked up he can't face it. It's their secret special history.

i definitely think adam popped out of the cage fluent in enochian.

after michael and adam got close/after hundreds of years of boredom, i think adam would insist on learning enochian because michaels been communicating in adams native tongue this whole time and it’s only fair, of course, that adam talks to micheal in his native tongue. michael is flattered and a little shy that adam is so adamant (pun def intended ADAMant lol) to learn something just for him.

it’s also the first time michael would have to teach enochian to anyone. he didn’t teach the angels much, he just lead them: directing them and strategizing. however he wasn’t too worried, the confidence on micheal is well it’s bordering an ego, especially around angelic territory, yknow stuff he really knows.

he also found it curious that a human was even interested in something like this, especially something so taxing. humans learn… slowly.. but other than that michael was excited he hasn’t spoken to anyone (other than lucifer, which doesn’t count) in enochian in years.

they get topside rapture happens blah blah blah, this is post finale assuming they were both revived along with cas.

anyway- they’re staying at the bunker for a little until adam feels ready to get his own job, which is a slow process because adjusting to such an intense society after 1000 years of isolation was a little more difficult than adam had been picturing in the cage.

they’re out in the kitchen one morning, adams leaning on the wall impatiently waiting for dean to finish the eggs, which adam won’t thank him for when he gets, and cas walks in to talk to dean about anything and everything.

cas tells an enochian joke to dean (but in english so dean understands) and dean is like “…uh okay?”

adam busts out laughing which catches the dean and cas’ attention and he’s like “hey i know that one, it’s funnier in enochian though.” and proceeds to tell it back to cas in enochian.

cas is so happy someone finally understands his jokes because unfortunately dean just doesn’t appreciate them the way cas wishes he would.

so cas is smiling and michael is chuckling a little because of adam saying it in enochian and startling everyone. adams laughing because he’s proud of himself because of deans confused face.

so the three of them are giggling and dean is just standing there letting the eggs burn, like wtf is going on? sam walks in because he smells burning, and he’s greeted with the scene. he glances at dean for an explanation in response he just shrugs and mouths “angel stuff.” sam furrows his brows and turns around and just walks out.

[hellhoundlair]

i imagine the word for "brother" in enochian is more of an equivalent to "brother in arms" or something to use to refer to a fellow soldier (because. angels.) which sam doesnt like. and the only other word close to Brother in enochian is an equivalent to the word "relative". which is a bit of an emotionless word with no weight to it. so once sam figures that out he starts to refer to dean as something like "soulmate" or "beloved" in enochian. just cus it fits them better :)

OBSESSED with the incorrect subtitles here, completely changes the meaning

[casdeans-pie]

Dean asks Cas to teach him Enochian.

So Cas teaches him Enochian.

They sit together in the bunker - chairs next to each other, elbow to elbow, books spread out around them, and Dean learns the language of the Angels from his own.

Dean makes quips about Cas being his teacher, and offhandedly asks what he can possibly do to get extra credit.... Cas looks at him with complete and utter incomprehension while Dean has an internal meltdown at how that came out without meaning it to.

Dean's actually very focused when he has a goal - so he studies and he reads and he's genuinely a good student. He practices his pronunciation (which Cas has said 'is fine' but said it with the expression of someone in pain, so he knows it sucks) while he's cooking or in the shower, and Sam remarks more than once how Dean could have gone to college.

Dean still gets frustrated when he can't remember a certain word too many times, or can't wrap his head around a specific turn of phrase, but he also kind of loves it when he says something and Cas smiles with amusement at what he's said. It dawns on him that he's the one speaking strangely in Cas's language now, instead of the other way around.

The first time Dean speaks in almost fluent conversational Enochian he is so proud and pleased but Cas looks like hes going to throw up, and Dean thinks he must have got something wrong again. He doesn't know that Cas is having to physically hold himself back from immediately exiting his vessel and shattering every window in Lebanon with the force of his joy.

in the supernatural that exists in my mind, the fact that sam and dean were created as the perfect vessels of the devil and an archangel makes them not totally human. there's a residual darkness and light inside them, respectively. sam especially so, after being fed demon's blood when he was a baby. it just comes up in tiny subtle ways so no one realizes there's something wrong with them

sam's ears always ring when he prays (he thinks it's a sign god is listening). rosaries feel peculiarly warm in his hands but he holds them tight anyway. chanting exorcisms leaves him lightheaded. he brittles any plant under his care no matter how many botanical books he reads. john jokes about how his weird drawings used to scare his preschool teachers but sam has no memory of making them. being inside devil's traps feels a bit like walking through water. he has always had a talent for making people and animals trust him, follow him - entranced like moths to a flame

dean on the other hand... there's an aura around him. he shines from within. people can feel it even if they can't put their finger on why he's just so charming. he wonders why he feels almost sleepy whenever he enters a church, he dislikes being so calm and unguarded. he unknowingly interferes with certain technology and makes it malfunction, like an overvoltage. babies love him but animals seem restless in his presence. when he's taking care of a wounded or ill person they heal a little bit faster but no one notices. reading enochian out loud gives him goosebumps. he thinks holy water tastes really good to everyone else too
