where that’s ALL they are. in AUs, it’s always michael the asshole oldest brother, lucifer who is annoying and obnoxious but tolerable, gabriel how you described him, and then raphael who everyone either hates or ignores (i have lots of opinions on that). i hate this so much because that isn’t how they are. michael is an asshole, yes, but he’s doing what he thinks/has been taught is right- he isnt deliberately trying to fuck shit up. he’s a robot and it’s his programming. lucifer is the friggin devil, for fuck’s sake. he’s evil, he’s dark, he’s manipulative. he does what he wants when he wants. he isn’t just annoying and he certainly isn’t the supportive big bro. both him and michael know what they want and will do whatever they can to get it; and why shouldn’t they? aside from god himself who’s nowhere to be found, they’re the 2 most powerful things around. just ,, ugh. i want to see more writing with the archangels portrayed accurately, it’s frustrating. sorry for the rant
No worries, anon! Rant away 🙂 I do have a response for you, though, on the topic of archangels and rendering characters in fanworks. Putting it under a read more:
Pretty simple and straight forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s tagged as a ship you dislike or you’re 10 chapters in, if you don’t like it or it disturbs you too much, stop. The back button is your friend.
Rule 2, Properly Tag
If your fic contains anything possibly triggering or squicky, tag it. If your fic is an AU, tag it. If your fic is about a ship, tag it. Vice versa, do not overtag or improperly tag. If your fic is based around Stucky, don’t tag Stony.
Rule 3, Filters are your friend
If the app or website has an option to filter tags, use it. If you need to download an extension, download it. If someone has missed an important tag, you can politely message them requesting to add it.
Rule 4, Don’t harass people for shipping your NoTp
We all have that one ship we absolutely positively hate with every fibre of our being. And chances are, someone hates your Otp with the same ferocity. Don’t harass people over shipping your NoTp.
Rule 5, Do your research
If you’re writing a fic and a plot point or character is introduced you’re not sure how to write, research it! Google is your friend! There are also blogs dedicated to assisting people with certain topics such as @writingwithcolor
Rule 6, Your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay
Chances are, someone gets off to something you hate. And, that’s okay! We all have different and varying tastes!
Rule 7, Feedback keeps content creators creating
Likes, comments, reblogs, and recomendations keep your fanfic writers writing. Where would writers be if no one read their works? Where would artists be if no one bought their art?
Rule 8, If you want it, write it
It’s bound to happen to everyone, you just can’t find a specific fic for a specific ship or it’s that one rare pair no one appreciates like you do. What do you do in this situation? You write it yourself! It may not be the best-written or most poetic or maybe it’s just a pure crackfic, but that’s okay!
Rule 9, Fanon is not Canon
Likewise, headcanons are not canon. And if someone has a different headcanon, that’s okay! Sure, we may ignore canon for fics but headcanons and fanfiction and fanart are not canon!
Rule 10, Fiction is not reality
And the most important of all, fiction is not reality. Writing abuse fics does not mean you support abuse in real life. Writing suicidal characters does not mean the writer is suicidal. Writing glorified murder fics does not mean the writer supports murder in real life.
If you have more positive rules, feel free to add! These are just 10 little rules I find to be very important for a happy healthy fandom. Remember, fandoms are supposed to be for fun! You write that shameless self-insert Mary Sue OC, you write that rarepair smut, you write that 250k slow burn Coffee Shop AU! You make fandom as fun as you want it to be!
Here’s another coloring I did for one of the amazing works of art made by the one and only @threshasketch gotta admit Crowley giving Juliet some love always warms me up inside.

Dean Winchester is a journalism major planning to coast his last year by mostly just sticking to writing the campus newspaper’s daily horoscopes, and he almost succeeds. Enter Castiel Novak, captain of the soccer team, and his next interview appointment. It’s obvious from the start that there’s something between them, but things don’t quite go as Dean first hopes, and he ends up learning a lot more about Castiel than he ever planned on – luckily for him.
