endiness: wing-hugs: nothings-changed: mschignon: #lol but it kind of annoys me how many people think he legit sunk the ship because of a movie and song #Yes oh my God thank you #Discussions of this episode usually revolve around the weight of Castiel’s magnificent gesture #making his decision regarding the ship and Fate and all those souls based on Sam and Dean #and I’m certainly not saying that should be discussed or celebrated any less because it deserves the focus it gets #but what kills me is that Balthazar is doing the EXACT SAME THING throughout this episode #but it tends to go completely unrecognized #Balthazar changes history because Castiel asks him to #He intentionally gets caught and puts on this little act to hide that Castiel is the one behind it all #He’s going to do something as huge as kill one of the Fates because Castiel needs him to #And then he stops the second Cas tells him to no questions asked no doubt expressed #then changes history again because Castiel makes the call even though that also means they lose all those souls and power in the war #And all of that tends to be completely forgotten and waved off by fandom #while people act like he genuinely had no further motivation than the lulz worthy but shallow reason of hating a movie #and to me that’s really glossing over some important characterization and development for Balthazar #as well as a well done deeper look at his REAL usual motivation #and it just does him such a tremendous disservice and that makes me really sad #Balthazar is the character almost everyone likes #but so few people really seem to see. #There is nothing wrong with liking Bathazar for his snark and his decandence and his sarcasm #but there is so much more to him #and it makes me incredibly sad that so few people ever take a closer look #this brilliant loyal broken angel #deserves to be treated as a character #and not just a comic relief #sensitive balthazar fan problems -- source link
