It is a very elegantly constructed Bury Your Gays moment, that ranks up there with the classic Bury Your Gays moments of times gone by It's not an accidental or thoughtless BYG like you get these days, this is old school, artisanally crafted BYG

It would have been *trivially* simple to add Dean saying "I love you too" and then they kiss as Castiel is eaten by the whatever, but they chose instead confession -> death -> double hell while Dean sorta stares

Like it's messed up in ways that can only be intentional and thought-through carefully.

If Dean had been touching him when he died he'd have been sucked into the thing

Oh I'm sorry am I not respecting the plot device? Fine, they kiss and as their lips part it takes him, an inch from Dean's still-closed eyes, so when he opens them Castiel is gone. This is easy!

See I'm still hung up on why THIS instance of a character being sent to hell is supposed to stick, narratively, when literally every season finale the show has ever had that I am aware of has that happen to someone and then next season they just kinda come back.

Well there's no next season this time. Also apparently it happens to lots of women and people of color, according to this thread, so having it happen to The Gay seems fittinghttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1106343533114462208?s=19 …

(I have not watched it in seven years) also I think this is an extra bad hell? It's not normal hell, it's The Empty. Like maybe he comes back if they kill it at the end, but it's super duper hell you don't get to come back from, from what I understand after reading one article

The Empty isn't Hell Hell is a place God intentionally created to catch evil souls and keep them locked up without destroying them (because God can't bear to throw anything away) The Empty is where things go that really are truly destroyed

The problem is that in Supernatural metaphysics, really truly destroying things is a new concept and one that doesn't actually work The Empty used to only exist in potentia, back when God and the Darkness were eternal and unchanging

The world of conflict and death God created allowed for the possibility for the first time of things that first are and then, later, are not But are never *completely* not because existence still calls to them, implicitly, like a puzzle with a missing piece

The sapient being known as the Empty experiences its own existence as having been perfect peace and dreamless sleep, until the actions of beings in creation - especially the Winchesters - started giving it form and identity in negative space

It experiences its existence as the torment of things that are not seeking to be again, which is inherently contradictory and gives it a headache Its agenda is to stop all beings that exist, especially the Winchesters, from destroying more things and filling it up more
