castiel-for-king:

I love the difference between this Cas and the Cas we have now.  Like when Misha first started on the show I think he did such an amazing job of portraying something alien inhabiting a human container.  Like back in seasons 4/5/6 whenever Cas talks or moves it looks like he is having to make a conscious effort to remember to at least try to look a little bit human.

Like in the second gif here - and we see it a lot in the first few seasons - Cas starts to talk and then remembers you’re supposed to look at people when you talk to them - and he doesn’t always remember to do that, something he just keep on talking to the air in front of him - so he turns his head and then it looks like a split second later he’s like, “Oh, right, the eyes, gotta move the eyes too.” so his gaze turns to Dean but it’s a fraction delayed from the movement of his head.  

I dunno, I always noticed that about early Cas but it’s bled away now, he’s more comfortable in his body and moves more naturally.

my favorite casism in fic is when someone’s like “cas…. you don’t aenythign about th e world…….. how do u know abuot love ?????”

and cas is like “you fucking ant asshole i was alive long before the god conceived your entire species, i’ve seen you learn to wipe your ass. you absolute molecule motherfucker.”

gentlekieren:

you know, mostly I love the way Castiel is presented in fandom. but sometimes I miss seeing the side of Cas that isn’t just cheery and bumbling and sweet-mannered. I love the old bad-tempered, overdramatic whiny pissbaby Cas. this is the creature who bitched and complained constantly, and whose first instinct upon hearing the Apocalypse had arrived was to suggest they all get piss-drunk and lie down on the ground and wait to die.

where’s the high school AU where Cas is a melodramatic bitter asshole like ‘I failed this test. what’s the point. I’m going to drown myself in the water fountain’ where’s the coffee shop AU where someone gets Cas’ order wrong and instead of being a cutie about it he just stares bleakly into his styrofoam cup like ‘i guess it’ll do. i guess it won’t matter when we all eventually turn to the abyss. then again, by that logic, nothing really matters’ or the cute teacher AU where he teaches philosophy and gives all the kids existential crises being like ‘well, technically, nothing is real. and our concept of human life is arbitrary and entirely meaningless……. your paper is due Thursday’

please

Guys, at this point I’m 99% positive that this is just Cas’s sense of humor coming out.  

I think Cas fully understands what Dean means when he asks “What’s the word, Cas?”  

Cas’s sense of humor = amusement at absurdities.  The tower of Babel was a pile of dung.  I comforted the pig before the slaughter.  The coyote is man and the roadrunner is God, trapped in an endless cycle. What the hell?  Guess again.  You breed with the mouth of a goat.  

Cas understands language and Dean’s slang just fine.  This is his idea of a joke.   

And his delivery is always so deadpan that it’s hard to tell when he’s making a joke.    Cas’s sense of humor is really rather subtle, and I find it freaking hilarious that people think he doesn’t understand sarcasm or jokes.  Sure he does.  He uses sarcasm several times over the course of the series.  Granted, he doesn’t always use it correctly, especially when he’s having trouble actually communicating what he’s trying to say - I think he gets flustered - but he gets it.

His sense of humor is just a trifle offbeat.  I think that’s probably just what happens when you’re thousands of years old.  Obscure things start seeming really fucking hilarious.

And Dean’s reaction?  I think he kinda looks like he’s not sure if Cas is joking or not, but just to be on the safe side, he goes ahead and rephrases his question.

The real tragedy of this show is that nobody gets Cas’s jokes.  

Yes! And I just remembered that in “Survival of the Fittest”, Dean says:

Dean: Hey, there. So, Cas, what’s, uh, what’s the word?
Cas: Well, Dean, I’ve been thinking. Monkeys… are so clever, and their sensible in that they leave the skins on the bananas that they eat. Is it really necessary to test cosmetics on them? I mean, how important is lipstick to you, Dean?

Personally, I think Cas takes the question, “What’s the word, Cas?” as an open invitation to troll the shit out of Dean Winchester.

Ben Edlund is pretty much the only writer who really keeps Cas’s sense of humor consistent, in my opinion.  So many of the other writers assume Cas is just completely literal-minded when that’s not always the case.  Cas is a real wiseass. Remember his exchange with Raphael. 

CASTIEL Are you joking?

RAPHAEL Do I look like I’m joking?

CASTIEL You never look like you’re joking.

That’s angel humor for you, because Cas never looks like he’s joking either.  Like this.

DEAN
You know, I’m starting to think junkless has a better sense of humor than you do.

CASTIEL
Uriel’s the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone.

Cas is the funniest angel in the garrison.  Nobody gets it.  That’s the joke.

Think of future Cas’s snarkiness - that’s just Cas’s normal sense of humor on vitamins and with an extra dose of passive-aggressiveness. Which is why I sometimes think that orgy comment was simply Cas, as flutiebear puts it, trolling the shit out of Dean Winchester.

YES! And I don’t get the whole “Cas doesn’t get sarcasm” thing either. This is the guy who deadpanned that brilliant line about Uriel being the funniest angel in the garrison; the same one who deadpanned bitchiness at Dean’s self-centeredness with his “your problems always come first”. Why have we forgotten about that?

Castiel is the funniest angel in the garrison and he also thinks it’s really fucking hilarious that nobody’s noticed.
