That’s not how consent works, show!
As usual, this show doesn’t give a shit about consent.
I think that was the point though – Michael is messing with Dean and whatever he did to him that’s been messing him up with weird things like the swooshy vision and freaking out the djinn who tried to look in his head, we’ve had enough warning that of course Michael wouldn’t just ditch out and leave Dean without being able to come right back in without needing to ask again… I’m guessing whatever he did it’s like legally he “never left”. So he got to set up his whole chess game and mess with Dean to give him some hope, then show he was running the con the whole time and take over Dean again like LOL sucks to be you, you’ve been mine the whole time. Taken in a consent light, and Michael talking about Dean being too much trouble before he broke him it’s WAY more horrific and I think meant to come across that way, not like, a plot hole. I mean it can’t be a plot hole that the writers forgot the consent thing when Michael specifically has lines explaining why it doesn’t matter to him and Dean’s consent is a joke to him that he can get around as he likes >.>
Gentle reminder that this mechanic already existed in season 5 with Raphael leaving and returning to his comatose vessel due to there being an open line between archangels and their previously consented true vessels.
Edit: Er. Not comatose, but vegetative. Burned, blank, nobody home.
yes. and I fucking LOVE it.
