[TWP] Semantics

[enjoythe_ride]

There were words for people like Bela Talbot, most of them not nice. She wasn’t really one to listen anyway, but she knew what they were saying. In fact, Dean Winchester had probably called them all of them to her face, and she was still standing, so that was saying something. In fact, she didn’t mind most of those names. They were all things

Hence the "she thought." Bela in a clutch isn't pretty. Because if she's stuck and she can't get out, that means she lacks control -- if she has a choice however, she feels like she might be getting an ounce of control back, regardless of where the choice is coming from. Which is why when she's got a couple months before her deal is up, and the demon holding the contract offers her an out -- she takes it, because she feels like it's the best option she has, and reasonably it is. Lilith was the one holding all the cards there -- lying demon or not. Bela never claimed to be brave.

I really think the reasons why she didn't go to Sam and Dean on this was a weird mix of pride and the fact that she would have to explain why she made the deal in the first place -- Dean might have accepted (I won't say bought, because he probably wouldn't, but I think he would have taken it as a reason) a fourteen year-old girl killing her parents for money, but Sam? Sam would have known there was more to the story. And that was the part of the story that Bela really didn't want to share.

True -- yeah, I was thinking about that. But to be honest, we've never seen Ruby try to use the knife on anything else. So it's possible it's the same magic?

Yeah. Ah well. *sighs* IF she ever comes back, I don't suppose she'll be human, will she. *nosewrinkle*

I... don't know. They've both by that time had their experience with deals with demons, and Dean even more than Sam. None of those who'd made the deals made them lightly. ... something, IDK. Still, Dean might have been talked into helping out just because if they get Lilith, he's off the hook too, she might not even have had to go into the details of the deal. (And Sam would have joined right up, considering that it improved their chance of getting Dean off the hook.) Buuut. *sighs* I guess Kripke didn't like Bela? >.>

Ruby or anyone else, and the boys tend to (Castiel being an exception, but then Dean had no idea what he'd be facing, AT ALL) know their tools. I do think that the knife might be pretty specific - and there were many places where it seemed that Dean was pretty much persuaded that he was yanked out by a demon. Right up until the moment when the knife just doesn't seem to affect him at all.

... I'm getting babbly again. Sowwy?

Well. Bela wasn't supposed to be a regular, initially -- only Ruby was. The network said they wanted him to make two instead of just one. And the fans (mostly) didn't like Bela either, which kind of just added to things. Then on top of that, we had the writer's strike, and -- I just think she really got the short end of the stick. Which sucks, but hey -- you take what you can get.

And that makes sense. I don't know -- to have Lilith thinking that far ahead is a bit off to me. I think she honestly just wanted the Colt so that the boys couldn't use it on her. If they happen to kill angels as well, it's just a funny coincidence.

Nothing wrong with babbly. I do it all the time.
