i 150% believe that this obnoxious website amara was on in the beginning of the season:
was ABSOLUTELY chuck’s blog and amara had no idea
the two strongest beings in the universe that hold together reality as we know it
are cat meme-lovin fools
amara: *uses cas’ link to dean to speak to him, shows dean what she’s doing to cas* amara: i don’t understand, dean. what’s holding you back from being with me?
Dean Pulling Sam Out Of Harm’s Way 11.20 | Don’t Call Me Shurley
HOLY SHIT. I JUST FOUND IT. I FOUND IT.
Okay. Breathe mittens.
I already made a post (or several) about Amara using Cas’s connection to Dean to send the hologram of herself to him. BUT I JUST FOUND THE BOOKENDED CORROLARY.
HOLY FUCK.
At the end, when she touches Dean’s face, THAT’S WHEN LUCIFER COLLAPSES. Donatello shakes his head like he’s sensing something weird, but it’s not what Metatron’s doing in trying to break Lucifer free. NO. HE’S FEELING AMARA TOUCHING LUCIFER. THROUGH DEAN.
MAYDAY. MAYDAY. ALERT. OH MY FUCKING GOD. Okay. This might be the best birthday present I ever got. Okay. I take back all that crap I said about bucklemming before.
So not only was Amara able to touch DEAN THROUGH CAS, she was able to TOUCH CAS THROUGH DEAN.
The effect that Amara’s had on Dean ALL SEASON got transferred to Cas. SHE WAS TRYING TO CONTROL DEAN, JUST LIKE SHE DID IN 11.09, BUT SHE CAN’T ANYMORE. BECAUSE DEAN’S ACCEPTED SOME THINGS SINCE THEN.
All that talk about pining, all those lessons about love, all the frustration and heartbreak he’s been suffering about losing Cas… THIS IS WHAT IT LED TO.
And to think I was too bitter about Amara being played as a pining teenager to see it before. DAMN ME AND MY BUCKLEMMING GOGGLES I ALMOST MISSED THIS.
She asks Dean where his thoughts are, and wrongly guesses God. But her ~power~ isn’t affecting god right now, it’s being funneled, along with Dean’s thoughts, DIRECTLY INTO LUCIFER (because CAS).
She looks him in the eye and says “SOMETHING’S DIFFERENT.”
Yeah, it is.
*aside that Metatron’s last plea to “spare the universe” was a nice gesture
*second aside to note that Sam called the bunker Home again
Then at the end, Dean describes to Sam what Amara wants from him, for him to be a part of her forever, and “Adios” to Dean.
But Dean’s used that line before, and we know he’s tired of the adios. But again, when God’s waiting for them back in their living room, “a dios” is an even more interesting turn of phrase.
He’s already had Metatron order him a margarita, which he side-eyed and ignored; he’s told Chuck he doesn’t care if he retires to a condo in Cancun, and now the Adios. You know what? Dean’s SO over the adios. He didn’t drink the margarita.
But then *points to the screaming HOLY SHIT portion of this post* all of that happened too. Dean’s not about to adios Cas either.
I know we are all talking about Amara’s reaction to Dean calling out for Cas, but Lucifer’s reaction is one that is SO interesting! This is a look of confusion and intrigue as Lucifer gauges the situation!
Let’s not forget Lucifer was the first one Dean told of his connection to Amara and the effect she had on him. So here Amara is. Lucifer was probably waiting for Dean to be overcome and completely in her thrall.
But imagine his surprise when Amara, the thing that is supposed to have this overwhelming desire and control over Dean, is standing right in front of Dean and all Dean says is “Cas!”

Sam and Dean Winchester, legendary hunters, Men of Letters legacies, with 30 years of experience in battling the supernatural, thought DUCT TAPE was going to stop The Darkness.
Incredible.
Seriously I want so badly for Cas to be the one who eventually delivers the final blow to Amara (whether that be defeating her or re-trapping her).
I want Cas to be the only one who is really able to do it, in the end.
He’s feeling right now that he can only be useful in aiding the fight by stepping aside and allowing Lucifer to take the reigns.
But I want it to be that he himself, not Lucifer, nor God, nor the Winchesters, nor any other archangel, is the only one capable of defeating her.
I want his unique status as the angel with “too much heart” to be the key to defeating the Darkness.
When you betray us, I’ll be the one to carve out your heart.

Isn’t it interesting that qareen!Amara told Dean she saw the love in his heart, but minutes later Dean (sincerely) talked about how he doesn’t feel love (nor desire) for Amara?
Isn’t it interesting that words like “pining”, “heart” and "feelings" have been associated with Dean recently - before Amara was even in the show?
Isn’t it interesting that the only textual pining we have recently seen was in 10x16, where Dean told us there are people and feelings he basically longs to “experience differently or even for the first time”?
Isn’t it interesting how in 11x13 it was underlined that what’s between Dean and Amara is something Dean thinks is NOT love, and in the next episode we’re (according to Carver) going to see a major turning point in the whole fight against the Darkness - and that turning point comes because Dean finds out about Cas?
I think it’s all very interesting, and I’m kinda freaking out.
It’s always interesting how Dean phrases it.
‘Connection’
‘a hold on me’
It’s always a word that takes away his consent.
That’s important.
But, like, considering Amara was aging at a super fast rate, shouldn’t she be like, an old woman by now??
It’s almost as if they made sure she was just the right age to be sexualized so she could put her creepy moves on Dean….Huh.
We need to kill The Darkness… And I don’t think I can. I’m sorry to do that to you, you know? But when it comes down to it…
Castiel, in season 11, feels as if no one really loves him. He feels awful about himself, which will lead to several bad decisions, like a deal with the Devil. This attitude will affect his life forever. - Misha Collins
What Dean was thinking but didn’t have the chance to say.
amara would be a really amazing character if you just took away the forced sexualisation, romantic undertones and heteronormativity
“Does this mean Cas has an aunt?”
