011 + DO NOT LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR ANGER [VIDEO]

[trenchcoatedly]

[Observe: one VERY affected Castiel. That usually passive face? A sulk. The epic sulk of a teenager who hasn't gotten what he wanted, as a matter of fact.]

Okay, look, boat.

Here's something that like, ticks me off. A lot. Seriously, a super lot.

Everyone just buys the whole multidimensional boat thing. That's totally sensible! Like, makes absolutely perfect sense! Seriously! No one ever like, questions this? I mean, to makes perfect sense. But I'm a cosmic being. Millenia old. Could squash you all like bugs. So this kind of thing, it's like, you know, whatever.

But! The fact that I'm an angel - oh, that's the unlikely part. Come on, really?! You can suspend your middling human disbelief in, like, "multidimensional boat" but "messenger of God" is what gets you? Seriously, how does that even make any sense? Half of you already believe in God! So believing in me should be easy! But no, not for me. I have to prove myself. And then half of you don't believe me anyway!

None of you understand me.

I'd really rather you didn't. In my culture religion is associated with tyranny. I've no issue if others want to indulge, but I'd rather it not be directed at me.

[washerlocket]

There's no need to be a prat about it.

[nolongerhollow]

It must be tremendously frustrating. But it's nothing you need to take personally. It says something about the people disbelieving, not about you.

What can I do to help distract you from these frustrations?

[trenchcoatedly]

They started it, ok?

[trenchcoatedly]

If you don't believe in religion, God or angels, why does it bother you what I pray for?

[technophilic]

Neither of them really make sense to me apart from what I've read in books. But I don't really worry about it because it's boring to thing about. Too simple.

...Riiiight.

[Dean isn't sure what to make of you, Castiel, but he doesn't exactly dislike you. Have a really, really uncomfortable expression - halfway between insult, confusion, and doubt.]

Look, it's not personal. There's just a lot of crazy people here, so it's pretty much easier to believe that there's one more crazy person on the crazy boat than something I've never seen any evidence of whatsoever.

[buildindreemz]

An angel, huh?

I mean, the thing with the multidimensional stuff... maybe where you come from, an 'angel' is one sort of being, but where I come from, an 'angel' is totally different?

And I don't believe in god.

[timesbureaucrat]

In Gallifrey's distant past, religion was a system of tyranny and prayer and curses tools of oppression. I don't believe your prayers will have any affect on me, and if you prayed for me without my knowing I could hardly stop you. But if you insist on telling me that you plan to pray for me, expect me to dislike the idea.

[trenchcoatedly]

But, you know, I'm not praying from your religion. My religion isn't for that, even though it's sometimes, like, misused. My religion desires for you to be loved and love, and stuff.

I've shown you my power! I'd do it again! I have proof of what I am. I am not a liar.

[trenchcoatedly]

Well, see, that's different. I don't know what they call angels where, you know, your from. But being told I don't know what I am kind of ticks me off.

That's unfortunate, but it's your choice.

[Still skeptical. And concerned.]

You showed me a light in your hand. That's not exactly Houdini level magic.

I'd believe that. There's another guy around here who does illusions? [Hopeful.]

Re: [ Public : Video ]

[trenchcoatedly]

Tell me how to prove myself to you.

[most_feared]

Don't worry about it, I believe ya.

But I think you're probably not around where I'm from.

[buildindreemz]

No one should tell you what you are. If you're an angel in your universe, then that's what you are.

[trenchcoatedly]

Well, duh. Right. The point is no one believes me. I'm not a liar.

[marshal_art]

Everything dies eventually. Maybe that's what the world has to go through to achieve Heaven on Earth.


I don't pretend to know the mind of God but as a father...I'd say it means He loves his children even when they fuck up.

[buildindreemz]

That's stupid. I mean, I don't believe in angels in the context of my universe, but... there's a dragon on the Barge.

[trenchcoatedly]

Look, just.....God's a real frustrating dad, all right? So, that.

[trenchcoatedly]

Bet your family's like, so flawless, huh?

[trenchcoatedly]

Well, that's fine. I bet, like, you know, you aren't around where I'm from either.

But just, you know, as a note - the less angels in your life, the better, so whether you got them or not, or they're hiding up in Heaven, hope they, you know, stay there.

[trenchcoatedly]

Convince everyone else like, to stop being total jerks.

[maybebatman]

Don't you talk about my family.

[ They're not flawless. Also dead. :c ]
