Death Appreciation Post

rosemoonweaver:

You know, being in the spn fandom results in some really strange typed sentences; “I really liked Death” being one of them. But, with such a cool character, it’s kind of hard not to say it, right? Here are some reasons to love and appreciate Death. 

  • His entrance. 
  • His presence. 
  • The fact that Death, the Horseman himself, really loves junk food is hilarious, relatable, and kind of concerning when you think about it. (Like, Death likes Chicago Deep Dish. Is that because it’s good or because eating way too much junk food will kill you? Both probably.) 
  • He’s presented as a neutral party in the apocalypse. He really doesn’t want to do anything he doesn’t want to do and finds the petty squabbling of the angels tired and annoying. 
  • Death is actually pretty neutral throughout his many appearances, even if he does have a soft spot for the Winchesters. He doesn’t want to be used as a pawn but is willing to help if the threat to the world (Lucifer, Godstiel, Demon!Dean) is significant enough. 
  • He was one of the oldest beings in existence. 
  • Unlike the other Horsemen, he really didn’t seem to relish in his job. He was Death, but it wasn’t like he wanted everyone to die. He seemed much more concerned with balance than anyone else in the spn universe. 
  • He considered it an honor to reap Sam Winchester. 
  • He confirmed the existence of life on other planets. 
  • He’s really damn blunt. I like it. 
  • Apparently, he can be killed. 
  • Of all the characters on spn, he’s probably the only one who reallly isn’t that concerned with what happens to the world. Sure, he’ll help but he’s not going to go out of the way to do it and he certainly isn’t going to clean-up other people’s messes. He was a fascinating character.
