Scared the crap out of me when we shot it, scared me when I watched it, scary, scary man. And then the next morning we had breakfast. There’s something very liberating about having breakfast with Lucifer after he kills you. Not that it makes it okay but it certainly softens the blow. - Richard Speight Jr. [X]
tbh i don’t feel like gabriel really enjoyed the whole mystery spot ordeal. like, he did it for a reason, not for fun. he wanted to prepare sam, in the most EXTREME way, for what was going to happen to dean. part of it is practical — raise the righteous man, start the apocalypse, and with the two being so co-dependent, he knows that sam would probably go to extreme lengths if it meant bringing his brother back — but there’s also a certain perverted kindness to it; after all, gabriel was forced to lose his beloved brother, and there was nothing he could do about it, so the most he can do is prepare sam for the same agony. i am not in any way condoning his actions, because he was cruel and callous throughout the entire episode and could have made his point any number of ways less traumatizing to sam. but he probably felt that he was doing sam a mercy, in some insanely backwards manner.
he came to understand the error of how he approached it, eventually. so no, he doesn’t feel pride in his actions that day. he doesn’t crow over every tuesday, or torment sam with reprises of heat of the moment. he is not proud of mystery spot.
13x13:The only known weapon capable of destroying an archangel - the archangel blade. [You’ll forgive me, but my reading of the lore suggests that the blade is only effective if wielded by an archangel.] Oh, really? Thanks for the news flash.
oh, i’m loyal. to THEM! to people, lucifer. people. because dad was right. they are better than us. damn right they’re flawed. but a lot of them try. to do better. to FORGIVE. and you should see the spearmint rhino! i’ve been riding the pine a lo-ong time, but i’m in the game now. and i’m not on your side, or michael’s. I’M ON THEIRS.
- brother, don’t make me do this. - no one makes us do anything.
