hard to say why it makes me want to scream and puke at the same time, because i think there’s a couple of reasons (for me, at least) and i won’t even deny that they’re somewhat rooted in headcanon.

first of all, can you say: “pronunciation boner”? i just love the way dean/jensen says it compared to most other characters. some people tend to skim over the vowels in the “-iel” (cast-yell) or merge the t with the i and you get a weird almost ch sound (cas-chiel or ugh cas-chyell. i think naomi did this a couple of times and it near drove me up the wall) and in many cases it sounds more like two syllables than three. but dean is careful with every syllable, all three (ugggh listen to him say it right after pam says it (flawlessly) — it’s beautiful). so he just doesn’t say “castiel” enough to have developed shortcuts, or he’s just subconsciously reverent enough to give the word his full attention. 

secondly, it reminds us of all the times dean doesn’t call him castiel. as you probably know, the suffix “-el” essentially means “of god”, so there’s the divine element to castiel’s full name that isn’t present in the nickname “cas”. dean, bless his heart, doesn’t always respect that part of castiel because of his general frustration with all things related to god. and despite castiel’s ongoing disenchantment with heaven, it remains an integral part of his identity, but not one that dean always respects. so when dean calls him “castiel”, it’s almost like he’s affirming that part of castiel, acknowledging his divinity as an important part of his being, respecting that part of castiel even though he has his own personal beef with god. castiel is of god, but he’s also dean’s best friend.

and ugugghhhh can you just imagine these two horizontal with dean riding a fully wrecked cas and whimpering nonsense — endearments, curses, and “cas” — over and over until they’re both standing on the edge and dean leans forward as far as he can go and cas closes the rest of the distance to meet him and dean’s kisses slide off cas’ mouth and towards his ear where he hisses hot into the sweaty skin there “castiel” and that’s it, that’s all folks, because they’re both completely fucking done.

doesn’t it make you wanna just—

the assassination of franz ferdinand was actually the most hilariously botched assassination attempt of all time though like i can’t even explain to you how badly it went i mean there were six guys and the first one chickened out and the second one forgot to factor in the delay on a hand grenade so it exploded like three cars past the archduke’s so the guy took a cyanide pill and threw himself into a river, but the cyanide was expired and the river was six inches deep so the police just pulled him out and took him off to jail and then everyone else basically gave up and headed home, and then the driver of the archduke took a wrong turn and the car stalled next to the last of the six guys, and he was just like “what a crazy random happenstance” and started world war one
