Dear Supernatural (Now with Spoilers!)
So. Like. I loved Meg as much as I hated Ruby, because I always knew Ruby was elitist and better than everyone and was full of shit and I hated it with a burning passion. I didn't know she was lying, but I felt vindicated when we found that out, because suddenly it was perfectly justified to have hated Ruby from the first second we met her.
There was no redemption Arc for Meg. She was never more than a Demon. She was never less than a monster. She made alliances of convenience of necessity, but she never stopped being what she was. And I loved that about her. And I loved that she hated Crowley. And then, this relationship formed between Meg and Cas. And maybe it was pseudo-romantic. But I don't really care if it was. I sort of like it better if it was bigger than that. If it was about more than that. They were both broken in their own way. Meg was a demon on the run from Hell, and Castiel was the angel who lead a revolution in heaven, the man who would be King. Both bloodied, both impure.
She cared about Cas, even if it was in her own way. And they rubbed that in our faces a tad too much for me. I'm really tired of strong heroines sacrificing themselves so that the boys can get away. Like, no really, legitimately tired of it.
I don't know. I am frustrated by this show. Giving us nice things and then just taking them away isn't nice, it isn't fun, and, at this point? It's getting to be really predictable and verging on bad Storytelling. Anyone who would dare split up the Trio has to get the boot. Benny, for instance? I loved Benny and was table flipping mad when Dean cut him out. Like... infuriated that Dean would abandon him like that. And this whole really creepy obsessive codependency is getting really old. I don't want this show to end with one or both Winchesters dead. I want this show to end with both Winchesters alive and living separate but connected lives. I want Sam to go back to school and Dean to keep hunting. Or Sam to become a Men of Letters and Dean to keep hunting. I want Dean to hook up with Benny again and fuck up monsters and Sam to have a girl and a dog. I want them in each other's lives.
But not like this. Never like this.
And I want Meg to be in that life, or in Castiel's life. And I feel like the writers were just taunting us with that "My unicorn" bullshit. And I'm tired of the writers taunting me. Tired of it.
