narrative necessity
Fucking fucking fucking fuck, I am not sure if I need to take this premise apart at the seams or leave it in all its heartbreaking glory as a commentary on the problems with the source material. I just. I really don't want to kill my girls.
The more this twists itself out, the more ambiguous Ruby becomes. And this started off as the "Ruby is actually trying to stop the apocalypse!" 'verse. It still is? But there's complications? I uncovered a Machiavellian sidescheme that turned out to be fucking central and the alternate title of this could be "You Always Hurt the One You Love" and oh my god. What the fuck. I hate my brain.
Things I am still trying to solve:
--Lilith's body
--Jimmy's parallel
Also, I have to ask, if it was Heaven locking Lucifer up with the seals, whose fucking bright idea was it to make it evil acts that break them? Why not "this seal shall break when a demon becomes human," "this seal shall break when a fallen angel regains her grace," "this seal shall break when Lucifer asks God's forgiveness"? I MEAN. COME ON. If the hotbox is time out, why not make it so that Lucifer can only come back when he's really sorry?
And if it wasn't heaven sealing Lucifer away, who was it?

I really am going to bed, but before I do, I have to answer this question with: MICHAEL. IT IS TOTALLY MICHAEL. Thoughts on why at some point later, when I am not about to fall over.

It's been a while since I last muscled through Revelations, but as far as I remember the apocalypse is more supposed to be about humanity earning the biggest spanking ever before
getting grounded for eternityall are forgiven and allowed to reside in Heaven on Earth, singing the praises of God and not having to actually do anything ever again. Which is why all the seals would be evil acts, because if humanity's gone so far downhill that it can turn the crank 66 times to free Luce-in-the-box, it deserves what's coming to it.Or so says whoever made those (incredibly shoddy) seals in the first place. Michael, giving his brother a loophole in case he was right? The unknown other angels Uriel didn't kill (DEAR SHOW, YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO EXPLORE THIS IDEA)? God himself, continuing a long-standing tradition of dickish behavior? So many choices!
