I see and appreciate your hannah tags uwu you make some v v good points on that post
Thanks :) I like Hannah A LOT. I would love to see her get some kind of subplot next season!
…and I don’t think it’s impossible - there could be conflict between her and Cas over demon!dean, for instance, which could be expanded into an ongoing plot. Heaven/Hannah thinks Dean should be killed cos he’s a demon (perhaps demon!Dean could even do something to incur Heaven’s wrath, like killing an angel… or ripping out the grace of one to give to Cas… shhh that last one’s a pipe dream of mine don’t mind it ;p), but Cas stands against Heaven/Hannah because he wants to find a way to save Dean, and because Hannah has come to respect Cas so much she doesn’t flat out turn the whole thing into a black and white us vs them situation but tries to work with Cas to find a compromise, holding the other angels back from killing Dean for him, being someone for Cas to talk to etc. As a result, however, the other angels are unable to trust Cas enough to want him as their leader ever again since he chose to protect a demon, while Hannah ends up rising in their esteem because of the professional/impressive way she manages the conflict. Hannah would learn stuff about grey issues through the experience too, seeing that Cas is still a good guy even though he cares about a demon, and perhaps she witnesses Dean’s ultimate cure or at least his struggle with being a demon and realises things aren’t as simple as good and evil and, you know, STUFF.
I’m not holding my breath for this or anything. There’s every chance Hannah will not even exist as a character next season :( But I think it would be v. cool if she did and that a place could be made for her in the ongoing narrative!
(but like the post says - NO ROMANCE between her and Cas pls no! that would… kind of ruin everything… and I don’t say that as a deancas shipper, I say that as a woman who is tired of female characters almost always existing in a story to provide a romance for one of the leads (or to be sexual with or one-sided in love with them) - Benny, Balthazar, Gadreel, Kevin etc etc. ALL existed in the spn narrative without having a significant portion of their character/plot set aside for romance/sex with Sam/Dean/Cas, so that’s what I’d like for Hannah too!)
You know I literally never considered Hannah's importance before your post. I tend to get so lost in my Destiel/TFW feelings that it just kind of oversahdwos my other emotions. OTL
I can't put my love of your idea of your demon!Dean conflict into words really. That would be astounding if that happened. And him ripping out an angel’s Grace for Cas? //audible groaning Please. I want him to still be devoted to what he’s devoted to, but be cocky as all hell. Like was said earlier, I want him to learn a lesson from becoming a demon- that he is fundamentally good and his desires and needs are not wrong nor is going after them (including a certain trenchcoated angel, but those’re my feelings slipping through //coughs loudly).
I can’t wait to see Cas’s reaction to the news. Will there be relief? Anger? I know for sure he’ll still love him with all his Grace (see: Meg) but just…God how many months till Season 10 again //reaches for angel blade that’ll hurt lessssssss ; ; ;; ; ; ; ; ;
The compromise situation would be amazingly interesting. Can you imagine the angels learning and understanding the concept of both free will (teaching poetry to fish I know) and gray areas? It would be such a great opportunity for the character development of side characters we haven’t seen much of. Please.
Oh God almighty, Hannah as a support system for Cas? Wow. That would…having Cas finally have someone to turn to (especially after the inCREDIBLY PAINFUL GABRIEL EXPERIENCE WHY WAS THAT NECESSARY) would be wonderful really. Someone who knows his backstory (the one we haven’t heard), knows where he comes from and how far he’s come and where he is now…God I just want my baby bird to be supported and loved and let’s face that he’s not getting that from the Winchesters lately. >>
I just want characters to expand their boundaries. Yes, my main investment is in Cas because I’m incredibly biased, but we need more characters like Jody imo. And we have a wonderful opportunity (although chances are slim with women getting knocked off this show like stacks of cheap cards) right here. uwu/)
(I definitely agree on the no-romance bit. I don’t want her to exist as a plot device, but as her own self (and as support for Cas I won’t lie) and as someone who can lead others to change from their rigid, set views.
Wow my love for Hannah ballooned like madness woop.
