Ooooh, Motorhead. Good call... (S14 finale - Spoilers!)

[sees_it_all]

Well, sure, Mun.  I mean I told the guys from the very beginning that I was a cruel, cruel, capricious God.  That I toyed with their lives, their emotions, for entertainment.

Feeling a little called out yourself, are you?

But then again...writers do lie.  Sometimes we even have a good reason.  At this point, with every MOTW since Season 1 walking the Earth again and Bilie up to whatever it is she's cooking out there with the Empty and now Jack, I don't think you or the guys can trust a damn thing my canon self says.

So, am I seriously that big a douchebag?  ...and that lousy an author, because honestly, that whole gun thing?  Weak.  Very poorly set up.  Almost like I bashed it out in a big hurry and didn't get a chance to do another pass.

 I guess you'll just have to tune in next season and see how it all ends.

("No doubt, endings are hard.  But then again, nothing ever really ends...does it?")

If they had known what was best for them, they should have bent the knee. Either that or read the Holy Scripture. Your Will shall not be defied. It's unfortunate that everyone will paint You as a villain over this. My Mun seems to belive that will be Your.... undoing...

[Sorry for all the exposition. Chuck hasn't 'Talked' this much in years!]

[sees_it_all]

Hey, Josh. [Chuck smiles a little tiredly at the old-school mode of address. Once upon a time, he can't deny he really used to get off on that whole 'bend the knee' and 'Thy will be done' shtick. Now...it's a little embarrassing, to tell the truth. Which isn't to say he likes defiance, and he'd challenge pretty much anybody not to get at least a little bit peeved at being shot with their own magic gun, but still...

He just really hopes canon!Him has something more up his sleeve. Even if only because if he doesn't, it means he's really losing his touch. Seriously, back in the day he could have come up with better material blind drunk.]

Well, that's never really been their style, you know? There's a reason they call 'em Team Free Will. And they're nothing if not consistent when it comes to choosing family. One way or another, I think they're gonna come out on top. They always do.

You mun might not be wrong, though.

[What, him, worried? He rummages around in a desk drawer and pulls out an old rough draft from, oh, Season 6 or thereabouts, donning his glasses and flipping through the pages with a somewhat glum expression. Ah, here it is...

'Don't...worry about...what, like Lucifer didn't worry? Or Michael? Or Lilith, or Alistair, or Azazel didnt worry?? Am I the only gamepiece on the board who doesn't underestimate THOSE DENIM-WRAPPED NIGHTMARES???'

See, now that was primo stuff. He really misses Crowley. Damn shame he just lost his feel for the character somewhere along the way and couldn't seem to get it back.

[He glances up at Joshua over the rims of his specs.] You know, other than me and maybe Becky Rosen, I don't know how many people would remember this. But way back at the end of Season 5, Dean told Cas he was coming for me next. He has this habit of getting around to keeping that kind of promise, even if he gets sidetracked on the way there. [He sighs, dropping the manuscript on the desk in front of him and leaning back in his chair.] I dunno. Everybody's gotta die sometime, right? Even me. There'd be worse ways to go out than as the Winchesters' final Big Bad, don't you think?

[prismofeden]

It's Yusef, Father, guardian angel of Kavod. [He's an old-fashioned angel. He pretty much missed everything post-Flood, because his version of God decided that he ought to be locked away over his defiance. Better than being undone he suppose.]

You gave Men Free Will for a reason, to do as they pleased. [Though he shouldn't be one to speak on such matters considering he himself defied God. He let his love for the people of Kavod triumph his better judgment. Gabriel wasn't pleased with him.] You're still their Lord and Father and they should have had more respect of Your Plan.

The end of You will be the end of the world. Surely they wouldn't be foolish enough to attempt such a matter? You're supposed to be eternal.

[He's struggling with the concept of not having his Father around no more. Sure he haven't been around in awhile according to Gabriel but still. He's still the Lord.]

[sees_it_all]

Yusef, of course. [Chuck inclines his head slightly. Forgive him...keeping track of even his own creations can be challenging, let alone all the other versions'.]

[He smiles wryly.] Well, I used to think I'd live forever, a long time ago. But then, I guess most young people do. [The smiles fades.] Before they start to figure out just how long forever really is.

My mun has this theory that the Empty, or whatever we're calling the thing that rules the Empty, is all that's left of a Creation that came before Amara and me. That he was its God and outlived everything else. If that's true, then I can understand why all he wants to do is sleep. He must be so tired of existing. [Softly] I know I sometimes feel that way.

She--the mun--said the same thing on that Tumblr thing. About Sam destroying the world along with me. You know what one of her friends said? 'I'd etch a sketch this whole planet to put us out of our misery if I found out our creator was that much of a monster. Better than the hell he could cause.'

[He winces as he repeats it, because honestly, he really can't blame them. Man, he doesn't know what's going on in canon!Him's head, but he really, really hopes it's more than the finale let on.]

[prismofeden]

Joshua is the name of my vessel. [A stripper nevertheless. Blame Magic Mike for that one.]

It's the fallacy of immortality that many mortals don't grasp. [He said and bowed his head in respect. Forever is a long, long time. Even for angels.] But at the same time, something new always happens to keep one's interest. [Of course unless you have already planned it all he suppose. ]

Perhaps. I've heard some think that the entity shown is either Lucifer our eldest brother or Gabriel. And perhaps that this Jack will become the new God. But who really knows?

Destroying the world itself... does not seem like a particularly beneficial ending for anyone involved...

[low_key_angel]

Yeah, the gun was a little hokey Dad.

And killing Jack? Dick move, man. Even for you.

[sees_it_all]

Yeeeah... [Chuck scratches at the back of his neck, looking really uncomfortable.] I'm gonna be honest, I don't know what Me's thinking with that. I mean I wouldn't just kill the kid cold like that without a damn good reason. [Would he? He's very privately hoping like hell he wouldn't.] My mun thinks canon!me's got some kind of scheme in mind and needed Jack to be where he is for it to work.

But yeah...I, ah, I can't really argue with you. Either way, that kinda sucked. [He slumps in his chair, picking up the whiskey decanter.] Y'know, I don't mind going out with a bang, but this is my life's work we're talking about here. I'd like to think me and the guys have earned a little better from Dabb and company than 'Surprise, God really is the biggest dick in the universe, everything is horrible forever, the end.' [He pours and offers Gabriel a glass.]

Incidentally, nice one, going to ground like that after the Elysian. Don't tell anybody, but I honestly thought you were dead. Not many people could've pulled that off.
