There should have been an episode of Supernatural where Chuck decided he didn’t like what happened in the previous episode so he rewrites it. The episode starts almost identical to the previous - same monster of the week, same dialogue about how to fight it - but they’re in different clothes and a different part of the bunker. We keep cutting to Chuck making decisions about what he didn’t like last time and changing things up, all the while Cas is getting squinty and head tilty. You see him start to anticipate which Winchester will speak next and eventually he mouths one of their lines along with them, still visibly confused.

“We’ve done this before…” Cas eventually says out loud.

“Hunt a vamp?” Dean replies, “uh, yeah, man. Once or twice.”

Cas, existing outside of the narrative, inventor of free will, angel with a crack in his chassis, can sense the rewriting. Can remember what was said before, the mistakes they made, the lives they lost, and manages to take down the vamp in record time. We cut to Chuck getting more and more frustrated, writing random lines for the Winchesters to throw him off, sending in different monsters to distract him. But Cas saves the day over and over just because Chuck screwed his kid over so much that he learnt to defy his very existence. I just think it would be neat.

no but seriously I still get chills thinking about turning off my headlamp in the cave and The Hand That I Did Not Actually See, and it’s been twelve years since it happened

it’s such an unreal experience

like

you turn off your light in a cave and wave your hand in front of your face

and

you can see this shadowy thing moving in the black space where your hand is

it looks like the same shadowy thing you would see in your room at night if you waved your hand in front of your face, it’s there and vaguely hand-shaped, and your brain recognizes it as your hand because your brain is aware of where your hand is and what it is doing

But You Are Not Seeing Anything

Inside a cave, there is No Light. No matter how far your pupils spread, there is no light for them to draw in, no light to put an image on your retina.

But your brain just Fucking Assumes that because it knows where your hand is and what it is doing, clearly it can see it.

So it creates a shadowy thing for your eyes to be seeing.

Brain is like “there’s a hand there”

Eyes are like “yup sure thing brain I can totally see it”

Brain is like “nice”

but there is no hand, you cannot see the hand, you are seeing a literal actual hallucination in the cave because your brain thinks it knows best

Caves are awesome, but also terrifying. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

we once went spelunking, and a our guide said that once he was in a cave with a stream, so he could hear running water, and his brain was like ‘oh, running water? that means there must be Ducks out there’. and he saw like…low light shadows of ducks. that his brain just Put There.

As a cave guide: we call that ‘cave blindness’! True darkness absolutely wigs your brain out - we’re such visual creatures that after a while our brain throws a hissy after not seeing anything. Sensory deprivation is a very real kind of torture. We have a huge, deep cave system at work and there are a lot of places where you’re hundreds of meters in solid rock in this tiny, dark, still space.

I like to turn my torch off, sit down with my back against the wall,  and wait to see how long it takes before I start seeing things or feeling like the ground is moving, or hearing things. Because I know I’m not - I’m in complete darkness, utter silence, sitting in rock that hasn’t moved in hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Proof that brains are Ridiculous and over-react to a lot of stuff!

I want to add to this that people who lose their hearing as adults have reported hearing music “being played loudly from somewhere”, and other auditory hallucinations, bc the brain will just panic and put your brain’s ipod on *fucking shuffle* if it’s not getting any input

Seventh Year: Reconciliations Bonus Scene 3

This one’s a bit different! I don’t normally do rehashes of scenes already written, especially from another POV, but I actually had to do Gabriel’s version first before I could do Michael’s. So first I wrote this, and then I wrote out what was going on with Michael.

This scene is Gabriel’s POV of that first conversation he had with Michael, after Loki confronted him.

personally I like to imagine that crowley started spiraling about what he’d do if aziraphale asked him to move in, then started spiraling about what he’d do if aziraphale DIDN’T ask him to move in, and then he just laid face down on the front seat of the bentley for twenty-four hours straight and at the end of that he was like “yeah I could just live here actually”
