#oh look #now it’s cas’ family that’s burning on the ceiling
dad’s on a hunting trip and he hasn’t been home in a couple millennia

Imagine if you will, what Castiel is feeling at this very moment.
He has fought. He has bled. He has won and lost battles and wars. He has lied to and betrayed friends. He has sworn allegiances with demons and turned on his own kind. He chose to side with humans. He has died over and over. He has tried so hard and lost so much, trying to do the right thing.
And yet, as he stands here, watching his brothers and sisters, his family, fall helplessly from the sky, it all suddenly matters so little. All that he’s done, and this is what it’s amounted to - his entire family, including himself, stripped of their wings, torn from their home. He had wanted them to work things out, to restore their paradise, but instead it was his own grace that broke it all in the end.
There is nothing else he can do. He is grounded. He cannot fly to catch them, and he is deafened to their cries.
What must he be thinking?
“You’re the great spanner in the works.”
“You came off the assembly line with a crack.”
“Their blood is on your hands.”
“I thought I was doing the right thing.” “You always do.”
WELL FUCK ME RIGHT IN THE FUCKING HEART WHY DON’T YOU.
