devil in the white dress and accessorizing for love

[retro_eidas]

While ogling seablue_eyes's epic Dean/Cas picspam, something dawned on me.

We had not one seductive blonde in a white negligee in FTBYAM, we had two. Chastity and Lucifer!Jessica. Both trying to tempt pure-of-heart heroes to Fall in their own respective ways? Cas facing the temptation of humanity and Sam the temptation of Hell?

Or possibly, Chastity was actually about to morph into a Chester? IDK.

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!!

Obviously it's sort of confunded since in SPN it would basically be Aragorn giving Arwen the pendant, but regardless, the pendant is about faith and (God's) love and hope. Dean not wanting Cas to give up on his quest, Arwen wanting Aragorn to persevere and come back to her.

Also pretty dark-haired, blue-eyed ethereal aliens love their mortal, surly world-saviors-to-be. XD

Hey, you're right!

I was talking to someone who is pretty sure Anna will take our wee baby-blue-eyed Castiel's virginity. Now that's some cloudseeding. But I think I would find it unforgiveable, to be quite honest. Spn is good at having its cake and eating it, too, and after all it makes sense for Castiel to turn to someone who has been in a very similar place experientially. But I just have to think of two scenes which seemed to be Dean/Anna but they are oh so so so so VERY Dean/Cas that I wish I could ask the actors if they had any idea that it was a strong possible reading, because I would sooner admit I'm clinically insane than say that I misread the scenes. (I'm thinking of Anna touching the handprint, and of Castiel's expression when Anna kisses Dean.)

I wouldn't be shocked this happened, but I'm sort of apprehensive about it if for any reason my own paranoid, fatalistic thoughts re: Anna's return. Although I don't know if I can be really blamed for that paranoia when I can't stop thinking about what Castiel was like when he came back from getting forcibly dragged back to Heaven. Even if Anna should come back more or less herself, I'd still be apprehensive. I couldn't be certain what we were seeing was genuine or something scarily Manchurian Candidate-like as a result of Bible boot camp. To the right (or wrong) people, Anna would certainly be an asset when it comes to the elusive Winchesters and their circle of trust. I'd have a hard time imagining, the conniver and operator we're to believe Zachariah is, not having noticed or taken advantage of that.

So, I could see Cas/Anna possibly happening, but instead of being a throwback to Dean/Anna, it's more on the lines of Sam/Ruby. It's unnerving, but I do think the possibility is there.

If it wasn't then - and if you're insane I'm right there with you because I'm hard pressed considering many other interpretations - I'd seriously have to wonder about now. Dean/Anna's Epic Fleeting Love "Titanic"-style which was founded largely by their angsty daddy issues? Hello, "missing fathers"? Cas in FTBYAM was essentially taking up Dean's role in H&H, both having a deep trauma and sadness (Dean due to Hell and Cas, having "lost everything", on top of the serious blow his faith just took) with (FTBYAM)Dean in Anna's role as the balm (and here I go back thinking about what all that amulet means).

There's perhaps a similarity also with Anna's Grace Inna Necklace and the God-finding amulet. Though in the fleeting essence of "Titanic", the symbolism didn't reach past H&H with Anna and her Grace Necklace. Cas was given Dean's amulet and now still has it as per Dean's insistence Cas maintain his faith and find God. Again (though I don't want to offend the Anna fans around, I know there are a few here), Dean/Anna comes off so much like hors d'oeuvres for the Dean/Castiel main course.

That's exactly what it looks like.
