Around 9:52pm on September 18, 2008...
(and this beautiful image)
I uttered the words: "They have got to stop putting hot guys on this show!"
Throughout the season, my feelings towards Cas were rocky at best; he and his 'angel buddies' were screwing with Dean and I honestly didn't know whether or not I should hate him or love him...
Pulling Dean outta hell earned him some major points with me, but what they did to him after...I just didn't know.
Towards the end of the season, I was completely on edge when it came to Cas. He didn't even know where his loyalties laid and I've been on Dean's side since day one; literally. So when he let Sam out of the panic room, I was done. He'd pushed me too far and I couldn't of cared less whether he lived or died...even when he came to his sense and eventually helped Dean - it was only about him getting Dean to Sam, whether it worked or not. Cas didn't matter to me...only the brothers being together at the end of all this.

I honestly don't know when things changed...I couldn't have cared less when Cas died; and when he came back, I was just glad he was in time to save the boys.
I take my cues from Dean; always have. -only reason I trusted Ruby in the end... So when Dean gave his neckleace to Cas - the same necklace Sam gave him when they were kids and wore at all times - I was completely confused.
...then he used his 'last night on earth' speech on the angel, the personal space issues he complains about but doesn't really mind, Cas being there for him when Sam wasn't... It was 2014 that really put it into perspective; Cas wasn't only there when Sam abandoned him, but stayed with him through everything that happened after.
Their relationship in 2014 turned 2009 completely in on itself and I actually expected Dean to kiss his angel on the side of the road just for being himself and not...what Dean had inadvertantly turned him into.
Long story short, Cas grew on me and Msha is amazing.
I can barely remember life before...
