Honestly tho like Gabe just got done being tortured for years on goddamn end and I, too, would be like “fuck that” if someone wanted me to go back into battle the second I was back to my normal self

I know, right? Dude just got done with being tortured for YEARS. Let him freaking breathe!

Gabriel, Sam and psychological cages.

ok guys..i haven’t seen this point mentioned in any of the meta or spec so far, but as much as i would love sabriel to become canon, Sam’s ‘i need you’ ain’t that. Gabriel has been locked up in a cage and abused for years, so was Sam and even though they are both now free, they are both still in that cage in their heads. Sam says as much to Rowena in ‘various and sundry villains’, Sam needs Gabriel to come back, so he knows there is a chance HE can finally get out of the cage..and that my darlings is Sam’s character arc this season-he needs to deal and heal, just like Gabriel.
