*bounces*
Really random things I have thought this week.
Spoilers up to 4.17, mild spec and aimless rambling and a no doubt wildly flawed understanding of various cultures and beliefs.
-Wonder if the YED blood Sam had as a baby and Ruby's blood is like two-part epoxy; Sam needs both in his system to activate? Wonder if Sam needs white-eyed demon blood and red-eyed demon blood as well to, like, go fully... whatever? Yellow, black, red, white. Hm. I don't think I ever noticed that demon eye colours are the same as the colours of a medicine wheel before. Trippy. Doubt there's anything to that, but trippy.
-Okay, so the whole 'Two Brothers, One Fate' thing could be a restoration of the balance between good and evil. Each side has their plans and plots to start or prevent or subvert the apocalypse, and Sam and Dean are kind of like two parts of a yin-yang symbol, sort of, one side light(-ish) one side dark(-ish), with an element of the other in both, and together they form a whole in balance, and prevent either side from getting the upper hand and ending the world one way or another. Hm. Which makes me wonder again what the Trickster is up to, because as a representative of the chaotic but not demonic, you'd think he'd be deeply invested in change for the sake of change.
-*thought converted to plot-bunny*
-*other thought converted to plot-bunny* Knock it off, guys the corral's too damn crowded already.
-Boustrophedon is an awesome word which means a block of writing which reads left-to-right one line and right-to-left the next, and originates from the Greek for "ox-turning" or writing as the field is ploughed. *glee* (I did warn for random)
-So, from 4.17, angels can block a person's memories so thoroughly that they become (outwardly) a different person. Wonder if that's something they do for their hosts when they leave, if there's anything left to patch together and the angel is alive and around to do something about it? Block the memories and return them to their old life amnesiac, or block the memories and plunk them into a new life somewhere. Like witness protection. So, the host body of the first dead angel in "On the Head of a Pin" was probably out of luck because the angel inside her was killed and couldn't do an end of lease patch-up and mind-wipe on the host, and Castiel got there too late to do anything. But Anna and Castiel were both standing by when Uriel died, so maybe they fixed the host body up and Uriel's host is alive, well, and back in a normal life being a high school gym teacher, or chef, or quantum physicist, or day-care worker or whatever.
So, I heard a rumor that it's Thursday today, but there isn't nearly enough noise going on out there. Maybe my calendar's wrong...
