Hi! I've never visited your lj before (how did I miss it?), so you don't know me yet.
Hello! Nice to meet you! Welcome! I'm easy to miss, don't feel bad...I just sit in my corner and do weird things like timeline, keep track of clothes, and write Harry Potter crossover fic...occasionally, I vent opinions on things. :P
I've liked the character from the get-go. But more as a person who is there for Dean and his relationship/dynamics with Dean than, you know, the actor Misha Collins.
I'm the same way. I always thought it was good for Dean to have a friend who wasn't family/human.
I don't recall a scene like that in season 6. On the contrary, when Dean prays for Castiel in The Third Man it seemed to me like it was actually the first time he'd tried it since Sam went to hell.
Ugh, I know! It's driving me batty, because I could have sworn there was a line somewhere (later on maybe?) where he mentions Castiel not coming when he called during that year...but maybe I've lost my mind, because you are right about The Third Man.
And Castiel, I think, did care about Dean in that year. He nearly went and talked to him about his problems in heaven but then decided he didn't want to burden Dean with that.
Yes, my point wasn't that Castiel didn't care about Dean, it was more that he didn't SHOW Dean that he cared. Castiel can care all he wants, but it doesn't mean much if Dean has no evidence of it. Basically, I meant that I understood why Dean's feelings were so hurt. Castiel doesn't know any better of course, which is I'm sure why Dean forgave/will forgive him.
I agree, and I didn't get the impression that Castiel feels Dean owes him an apology.
No, I don't think so either. Castiel knows he did something wrong, and he knows he owes Dean an apology...and he tries to give him that apology. What I was complaining about was all the Cas-girls who think that Dean owes Castiel an apology (or seem to think that)...I do this occasionally, where I basically react to people's reactions rather than the show itself. I think the WRITERS have it correct, but some of the fans don't.
I think Dean will forgive Cas (if he hasn't already), he knows Castiel very well - and he KNOWS the reasons Castiel made the mistakes that he made, and he knows that Castiel genuinely regrets everything that happened now. Dean is hurt, so he'll probably nurse that hurt for a long while, because that's what Dean does (and there's nothing wrong with that), but deep down, I think he and Cas remain friends.
