#see but ok #this is sUPER telling of castiel’s character#i’ve seen a bunch of meta posts recently about how#‘cas isn’t what he used to be’ #‘i miss the old cas’ #but look at that last gif#look at how he blinks and his shoulders drop and he exhales#this bad ass threatening thing? it’s posturing.#castiel has to throw his weight around to get what he wants#because being soft and vulnerable doesn’t get you anywhere when your opponents are angels#but that’s not who he is #not really#he’s that creature in the split second of the last gif#this lonely and tired thing that we’re seeing now #that’s always been him#he’s lost the energy - after going through so much the last 10 years - to be the thing in the first gif#castiel’s arc has always been about power. losing it and going after it.#and juggling his feelings with duty#TOO MUCH HEART HAS ALWAYS BEEN CASTIEL’S PROBLEM (via ozonecologne)
