The one who gripped you tight*

I've been paying more attention to the visual aspects of Supernatural recently, discovering neat little parallels. The following parallel, however, surprised me so much it smacked me upside the head.








The hand! The haaaaaaand! It's on the same opposite shoulder! In the same way! One's a demon hand - or fallen angel, depending on where you draw your canon from - and one's an angel hand! One's a hand that dragged the man to hell, one's the hand that dragged him out! Mirror parallels! Exclamation point!


So we all noticed that Grandpa Samuel's angel-banishing sigil wasn't quite the one we're used to, which is:



But what I just realized is that Crowley taught Samuel the sigil which threw Castiel out of the building and led the boys to being caught. Now, in light of Crowley and Castiel's partnership, I've figured out just what the alterations to the sigil mean.


It's Enochian for, "YOU BREED WITH THE MOUTH OF A GOAT"

Does this make Castiel the whore of Babylon? Because, as Crowley says, "a whore is a whore is a whore."

THE PARALLELS! MY BRAIN, IT CANNOT TAKE THEM!


* Castiel, 4x01, Supernatural

Very astute and amazing observations!

Thanks!

I've got all this flail left-over from last week's Doctor Who and stored up for Supernatural's finale that I just keep finding little flail-worthy nuggets.

Doctor Who was awesome! Neil Gaiman For The Win!

FTW indeed! I loved the Idriss!TARDIS! Although I've now discovered that a crying Matt Smith makes me very, very sad.

A crying Matt Smith makes me very, very sad too.

you make me laugh!!!! you breed with the mouth of a goat, lol. yes, castiel is a whore, just not THE whore. or he could be THE whore, in Crowley's text of reference. the whore he would like to have inbetween his sheets. did you see all that UST? ung!

Castiel throwing Crowley into the wall was a thing of beauty! Unf indead! And when he crowded into Crowley's face all, "leave. now."? Ngh.

And Crowley did promise happy endings "with all possible entendres" for them, so we all know he's thinking it ;)

On a more serious note, Castiel is being a bit "whorish" in that he's compromising his morals and who he'd work with in return for cash (or souls). And Crowley's being a bit of a pimp, trying to make sure Castiel doesn't kill himself so he can still rake in the bling.

PS: Icon twins!

I completely agree with mrscastielftw!

Are you serious about the "you breed with the mouth of a goat" bit, though? XD

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Are you serious about the "you breed with the mouth of a goat" bit - Nah, not really, just that it's the same situation. In 99 Problems what we thought was a prophet and a super-quick exocrism turned out to be an evil monster and a sort of secret handshake that meant "okay, now you demons play along with our fake exorcism thing". So Crowley did the same - fed Samuel a false angel banishment sign and Castiel pretended to be banished.

So, the short version is, metaphorically, yes, it's totally graffiti for "you breed with the mouth of a goat" ;)

*facepalm* Now I get it! LMAO, I have such a bad memory when it comes to Supernatural IDK why. :|

Haha, love you. ♥

XD I've just got Castiel's "it's funnier in enochian" failed joke seared into my brain, so I've got everything involving that part of the episode down.

I have such a bad memory when it comes to Supernatural - Drunk Castiel! How could you forget drunk Cas? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpTdSfSEsmg)
