Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Early season 6 is just like. Cas and Sam and their weirdo Campbell relatives all doing really morally dubious shit and then calling Dean a girl for being the only person acting normal and going “wtf is wrong with all of you.”
DEAN
He threw me to that vamp. I'm telling you, it's not my brother.
BOBBY
Well, then he's something we ain't ever seen before.
DEAN
Yeah, or it's freakin' Lucifer.
BOBBY
Did you call Cas?
DEAN
'Course I called Cas. He's not answering. Screw him. I can't wait anymore.
My favorite thing about lines like this is people always think of them as lines where Dean displays a desire for Cas to be useful to him, when they also show so clearly the exact opposite of that. When Cas answered Dean’s prayer in 6.03, it was because Dean had information of value to him about The Staff of Moses. ("You think I came because you called?") He then tells Sam and Dean he needs their help to get the staff and they help him. Cas flew away so abruptly—as soon he got what he wanted—and has been radio silent since. As I’ve mentioned before, Dean has no reason to believe Cas wouldn’t ask if he wanted help (especially now that he’s cleared the air on the reasons for his previous silence). Cas fully controls the means of communication between them. He can come and see Dean any time and say "I need your help". Dean gets a one-way line and has no clue if the messages go through. Cas clearly demonstrates in 6.03 and in this episode, 6.06, that he'll only show up if Dean can be of use to him.
DEAN
Castiel? Hello? Possible loose nuke down here, angelic weapon. Kinda your department. You hear that, Cas?
CASTIEL
Hello, Dean.
DEAN
Are you kidding me? I have been on red alert about Sam, and you come for some stupid horn?!
CASTIEL
You asked me to be here, and I came.
DEAN
I -- I've been asking you to be here for days, you dick!
"You asked me to be here, and I came"... but that's... extremely misleading. Cas didn't show up because Dean asked him to be there. Dean had been asking him for days to opine on Sam after Sam let him get sexually molested by a vamp. Cas very clearly showed up for no other reason than Dean finally mentioned something of use to Cas—an angelic weapon. He showed up because Dean was finally useful to him again. That's exactly why he showed up in 6.03, and it's exactly why he showed up here. And yeah—Cas IS a busy guy! There's nothing wrong with that—but the misleading framing where Cas claims he's here to help Dean when it's the other way around—he's here because Dean has information that can help him—is literally just lying.
"I always looked down on you because you were quirkless. You were supposed to be beneath me... but I kept feeling like you were above me. I hated it. I couldn't bear to look at you. I couldn't accept the way you were. So I kept you at arm's length and was mean to you. I tried to act all superior by rejecting you... but I kept losing that fight. Since we got into U.A... Nothing's worked out how I thought it would. Instead, this past year forced me to understand your strength and my weakness. I don't expect this to change a thing between us, but I gotta speak my truth. Izuku... I'm sorry for everything."
Discord was such a stroke of genius. Having John de Lancie come on and play a copyright-safe version of his character Q from Star Trek with all his powers intact as a two-parter villain was already insane. But bringing him back, reforming him and pairing him up with Fluttershy? Having her be the one who can bring him to heel time and time again, through her quiet no-nonsense demeanor? It's so amazing. It's so consistently good. Every time these two share a scene it's the best. Picard has nothing on Fluttershy.
