OH MY SWEET JESUS

I've had a feeling for a while that I really want to ship Balthazar and Castiel hard, but I've never quite clicked onto why, and while having a natter over in ontd_spnparty I suddenly realised the reason.

Balthazar/Castiel is to Supernatural is as Vorador/Janos is to Legacy of Kain.

Balthazar: Gruff, decadent, I didn't like the character at all at first but he's starting to grow on me through no effort of his own, owns awesome weaponry, stays out of the limelight of battle as best as he can, chews out the protagonists for being rubbish every so often.

Castiel: Aeons-old learned creature who doesn't actually know as much about what's going on as he initially thought he did, my favourite character in the whole series, prioritises the survival of what he supports over his own life, guides and protects the Chosen One type protagonist.

They both die a lot.

They share a complex and muddled past.

IT'S NOT A PERFECT COMPARISON BY ANY MEANS BUT MY GOD MY SHIPPING INSTINCTS WERE RIGHT. I WANTED TO BE INTO THEM FOR A REASON. I THINK NOW I AM. A LOT.

My life is surprisingly awesome right now.

Every day for 30 days, you post something good that happened that day. Don't mention any bad things near the meme!

Day 3/30: Free cake! Not even kidding - they had TOO MUCH cake at work for the new people in training so they shared the remaining cake out around the office. Also, suddenly realising I can add Balthazar/Castiel to my list of srs bznss ships, because I loooooove new ships.
