Meta: Now is the ideal time to bring Bela back

Meta I posted on Tumblr last night that was inspired by this gifset, or Why S10 Is The Perfect Time To Bring Back Bela Talbot:
Everyone is thoroughly spoiled already about Dean right? )

I personally like your comparisons/meta. XD

Thank you! :D

The hatred she would feel

Aaaaagh I just want it sfm. Like, she would hate his guts, but she's nothing if not a survivor/self-preservationist, so I think if she saw some way to gain from it, she would work for him anyway, all the while plotting how to eventually take revenge. And from the spoilers, it sounds like Demon!Dean doesn't care about anything, so I think instead of wanting to kill her for vengeance like normal!Dean might*, Demon!Dean wouldn't give a shit about their past enmity and would find it amusing to have her work for him. Why waste an incredible resource like Bela (who would doubtlessly have made a reputation for herself by tracking down all sorts of useful relics and being an excellent crossroads saleswoman) when he could use her talents for his own purposes? So they'd be a ruthlessly efficient and effective boss/subordinate team, and they'd have tons of fantastic hate!sex, but all the while Bela would be plotting to destroy him, and Dean would guess this and be ready to kill her the instant she made her move.

And despite themselves they would grow fond of each other, and after Dean was cured Bela would think it was a shame and while she wouldn't trade her new throne for anything, she would miss the consort she could have had, and Dean would hate himself for the things he did as a demon but he also wouldn't be able to bring himself to hunt Hell's new queen, and when they eventually did come face to face, both would try to persuade the other to their side to no avail ("Come back to Hell, darling. Please." / "I could cure you- please, let us cure you."), and eventually they'd wind up in bed again and when they woke in each other's arms both would think to themselves, I should kill him/her, but neither would be able to, and they'd part and wonder, What have I just done?

* (Although my headcanon is that Bela was the First Seal and so normal!Dean would actually feel incredibly guilty and reluctant to kill her.)

I think I would cry from happiness if Lauren Cohan returned as Bela. I don't know why I'm so reluctant to see another actress play Bela when we've seen successful transitions before with Meg and Ruby. I think it's partly b/c LC is so well known for TWD now that fans might be more receptive to Bela if LC played her than another actress and b/c Bela was treated so badly the first time around (I can't imagine how painful the fan hatred and rejection must have been for LC) that I want her to have another chance for a better experience. But it wouldn't be better b/c fandom still sucks and the writers are still misogynistic, so she's better off on TWD. Sigh.
