mercuryhatterI went to go catch up, because I'm an idiot. I would really love it if the CW would paywall itself so I could stop doing this. Maybe swap with FX since I genuinely want to watch a lot of FX shows that I can't get to because I don't have a TV provider. But anyway.
This season is just so absolutely fucking stupid! Everything is dumb and bad! I'm only here to keep tabs on the idiot who ruined my life, Castiel, and they're about to keep me waiting for his other shoe to drop for who knows how long. His whole thing now is that the thing that rules the dimension where dead angels go, called the Empty, wants him back, and in order to get his adopted antichrist son back he agreed. Except the Empty was like "oooh, I'll only come for you when you finally give yourself permission to be happy, ooooh~" and LITERALLY WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. JOKE'S ON YOU, YOU FUCKING IDIOT, CAS IS A PROFESSIONAL MASOCHIST AND HAS BEEN DEPRESSED FOR YEARS, HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ALMOST EVERYONE IN HIS LIFE IS TOXIC, THE ONLY PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT HIM IS LITERALLY ONLY TWO CHRONOLOGICAL YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO SCENARIO IN WHICH HE IS GOING TO "GIVE HIMSELF PERMISSION TO BE HAPPY." SO HE'S FUCKING SAFE. DUMBASS.
Which of course! Means I'm still stuck checking up on him. Because this is the sort of narrative shoe they could try to artificially drop next month, or the sort that they could just sort of forget is still up there because it would be completely plausible for Cas to never give himself permission to be happy in the entire lifespan of the show. In-universe, I could buy that maybe, 5000 years from now or something, Cas relaxes for a hot second and the Empty shows up and is like ooh haha bet you thought you'd seen the last of me. It would be entirely plausible of them to never come back to this plot point ever again. Alternatively, they could pull it at the end of the season, although god knows how they'll make that seem in character. They could do some sort of time skip. Whatever. Anything could happen. It isn't as if they care about good characterization or plot development anyway, so I guess they can really do whatever they want.
Anyway, I have a month of rest while they go on end of year hiatus. The midseason finale ended on a cliffhanger so at least I can be reasonably certain there will be something interesting happening for a moment before they go back to shitty pacing that doesn't pick up until the finale.
Everything sucks and is bad. So glad I have this to focus on instead of my impending legal ethics failure tomorrow morning. I've decided that I'm probably just not going to sleep tonight while I try to glean literally anything helpful from my study materials, but I actually have zero idea how to study for this test or what to expect on it, so at this point I'm just very resigned to whatever happens. At least I'm secure in the fact that everyone else in that class is as confused as I am.
Fucke.

So glad I'm not alone in this coping mechanism. *burrows further into a den made of unwashed clothes and Silmarillion fanfic*
