An odd meme, I guess?

I'm having a sucky week. Can't seem to get my head together for work - can't seem to get my head together for writing. My sister is on reading/Olympics break and, as much as I love her, I miss having the house to myself at least 3 days of the week. (She's out today though, which is nice.)

It's ridiculously sunny here, I just want to jump in my car and drive someplace - but, because I haven't been able to get my head together for work, I owe them like 40 billion hours.

Now, that all being said...I feel like communicating with people in written form. So, here's your challenge (if you've read this far):

Leave me a prompt or question about Supernatural in the comments - you can ask my thoughts on a particular character/event/issue, ask me to explain away a particular plot-hole, or prompt me with something ridiculous like "what do you think would happen if Sam was turned into a kitten?" (Except, don't ask me that, because my only response would be: "CUDDLES!")

Or alternatively, you could ask me something about myself.

This will hopefully cheer me up and satisfy my craving for contact with the outside world.

...though, now I'm really craving cuddles with kitten!Sammy. Ah kitten!Sammy, are there any ills of the world you can't solve? (please note: kitten!Dean can also solve the world's ills, but be careful, he bites!)

PS: You can ask me questions about Harry Potter, but don't prompt Harry Potter/Supernatural crossover stuff. I'm busy working on another installment for my demented!verse, and I want to use this post as a little break from that.

The thing I don't understand (and maybe that was mentioned somewhere and I missed it) is why if God restored Castiel, he doesn't have access to the full powers of heaven? Is it just that angels control that access and therefore, Castiel is cut off by his brothers? Then how to explain Gabriel?

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

I totally have an explanation for this:

God restored Castiel, (because God is working behind the scenes to achieve some other, as of yet unknown, end), but heaven's powers are currently controlled by the other angels. And technically, Castiel rebelled, therefore Castiel is cut off.

Gabriel did NOT rebel. He just left. He is not working against the other angels like Castiel is. Gabriel isn't a fallen angel, he is just an angel on vacation in disguise.

Also, Gabriel is an archangel. Lucifer is still very powerful even though he rebelled, so there's a good chance that archangels do not need as much support from heaven as lower ranking angels. In Supernatural the archangels are the most powerful weapon in heaven, as well as being the only 4 angels to have ever been in the presence of God. So, yeah, that might just have different rules.

Okay, I can accept different rules for archangels (and good point that Gabriel left versus sticking it to his brothers before leaving). However, if God spend all that energy putting Castiel back together, why not give him backdoor access to Heaven's power? Why make him struggle in his righteous search for God and support of the Winchesters? What makes him fallen--the view of God or the view of the angels?

That, I have no answer for. The only thing that I can figure is with God absent, it's actually the angels that get to decide who is fallen and who isn't...and there is no backdoor to heaven's power, I guess. It's either that, or for whatever reason, God doesn't think Castiel needs heaven's full power.
