See, I'm even more of a Cas/Bal shipper than I'm a Cas/Dean shipper, and that's how much it hurts for me that, while Cas had to struggle so much to distance himself from Dean, he hardly seemed to have any trouble at all to distance himself from Balthazar. Of course I didn't expect them to put as much focus on Castiel's relationship with Balthazar as they did on his relationship with Dean. But these two angels have this massive history together, and it just felt like that was all rendered insignificant.
And while I do agree that Balthazar cares more about Castiel than Castiel cares about Balthazar - I almost see it a bit like Castiel and Dean in reverse - the show did give me the impression that they were close, and that they had been close possibly since they were created. And then all of this was just ripped apart in one scene, when it could so easily have been saved by one little gesture. And I'm pretty sure that will always feel wrong to me.
Guess we'll be stupid and crazy over this together *clings* It feels good to know that I'm not completely alone with this. *clings back*
