Hi, I’ve been gone for a long time, but I wanted to come back for just a second to say this. Sending anon hate to a blog that’s been inactive for over a year? Get a life lmao
Maybe?
Alright, so I’ve been running this blog for almost 3 years now, and I think it’s important for me on day 2000 of Adam’s stint in hell to talk to you guys about all of this.
First of all, I’ve long since left the Supernatural fandom. I haven’t watched Supernatural since early season 10 (I basically stopped watching as soon as I found out it was being renewed for an 11th season). I just couldn’t continue watching the showrunners beating this dead horse. In all honesty I think they should’ve ended after season 5, but that’s neither here nor there. Watching a TV show die is so much less painful than watching it continue to live well after its expiry date.
The reason I started this blog was that Dean was given the choice between saving Sam and saving Adam, and he obviously chose Sam. I didn’t have a problem with that. I had a problem with the fact that after that point, Dean never tried to go back and save Adam. Death gave Dean an ultimatum, and given the amount of times we’ve seen the Winchesters take the third option, I couldn’t believe that they never went back to make Death save Adam too.
I know a lot of people think that there are more characters more deserving of a rescue from hell, for example Bela Talbot, and for the most part I agree. The only reason I chose Adam was that there was a big song and dance about the fact that Adam /could/ be saved, and nothing was ever made of it again. Frankly, and I hope this doesn’t make you guys hate me, but I always found Adam to be a bit of a bland and underdeveloped character. But that’s just me. A fair number of you guys obviously seem to really like him, which is why you follow me, I guess.
This was never intended to be an Adam roleplay blog, which is kind of the reason I don’t answer most asks sent to me. Sorry about that. If you ever sent me an ask that I didn’t get around to answering, sorry. I played along with it for a while, but the thing about roleplay blogs is that people will send you asks that are designed to catch you out, or to be difficult to answer, just so that they can say “aha, got you” when whatever you said gets Jossed by canon.
I received an ask a little while ago suggesting that Adam was never in hell to begin with. I also saw a text post to the same effect. When Cas threw that molotov cocktail, Adam’s body was destroyed, and even though Michael, being an angel, didn’t die, Adam did, and would’ve been sent to heaven. I didn’t give this theory much credibility at the time to be honest, because the ultimatum Death gave Dean certainly implied that Adam was in the cage with Sam. However, Death could’ve been lying to Dean, knowing that he’d pick Sam, but testing him to see if he’d surprise him. I don’t know if I believe it, though. Death certainly has a soft spot for Dean.
As well as that, all official sources I can find seem to operate under the assumption that Adam is in hell, and canon (as far as I’m aware, given that I don’t keep up to date with it any more) never implies otherwise. Still, at this point I think there is some weight to the theory that Adam is in heaven, and has been all long.
I’m sure some of you have noticed, I haven’t always been good at keeping my queue up to date, and I’ve had my fair share of technical problems (like that for a long time I didn’t realise that if I hit the post limit on my main blog, things queued on this blog wouldn’t post).
This blog has been a constant part of my life for the past 3 years, and here, on day 2000 is where I’m choosing to end it, I want to end on the note that maybe I was wrong all along. Maybe Adam was never in hell to begin with.
Thank you.
