“I learned my lesson while I was away Dean.”

#Ugh #Do you see how fucking DEAD his eyes are? #This is why it just kills me when people say they can’t/won’t forgive Cas for letting Sam out of the panic room #Castiel had just been tortured and brainwashed by Heaven #Anna is clearly scared for Cas when they tell her #Balthazar displays free will when that’s still unheard of to try to stop it from happening to Cas #This is clearly not a minor scolding he went through #And why did it happen in the first place? #Oh yes- because Cas disobeyed orders to help Dean save Sam #And he comes back this deadened empty shell so yes- he makes a TERRIBLE mistake #But it’s exactly that- a mistake- not a decision made out of malice #And then Castiel manages to overcome not just BILLIONS of years of ingrained blind obedience #but legitimate brainwashing that’s what- less than a week old by the time of 4.22? #to make the right choice and he dies helping Dean get to Sam #How does that not make up for it? I really don’t understand- not that I want to understand that POV or ever will
