Entrance

For The Sound and the Flurries opening December 6 at RPS in Oakland, California.

“For beauty is nothing
but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure,
and we are are so awed because it serenely disdains
to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.”

Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies, trans. Stephen Mitchell

So I’m not one to lament Michael!Dean (I prefer canon, tbh), but I got a shiver of a more, idk, metaphorical kind when this vid referenced dialog from Houses of the Holy:

FR. REYNOLDS: That’s right. The archangel Michael, with the flaming sword. The fighter of demons, holy force against evil.

SAM: So they’re not really the Hallmark card version that everybody thinks? They’re fierce, right? Vigilant?

FR. REYNOLDS: Well, I like to think of them as more loving than wrathful; but yes, a lot of Scripture paints angels as God’s warriors. ”An angel of the Lord appeared to them, the glory of the Lord shone down upon them, and they were terrified.”

Not the whole “holy force against evil” schtick so much as AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED.

‘Cause Dean right now is skating the edge of a whole lot of terrifying in the name of fighting evil.

#this can also be Dean circa-Stanford#hunting solo #young and reckless and alive

—and how long have angels been watching over him, how many times has he survived something he isn’t supposed to survive, woke up from dreams he can’t remember except for the brush of feathers against his cheek

#5x16 saying they’ve been dead before was literally stunning; because how many near-misses can be re-written? #Was the old Reaper in S1 always meant to heal Dean? #Did Dean miraculously not get killed during his S3 bout of recklessness because of that?#Did Sam not really survive the car crash in 1x22 at first? #John being kept alive so he could trade for Dean; maybe plant those seeds of guilt and what-am-I-even-in-the-world-for?
