I’ll be shocked if their spell doesn’t work because he turns out not to be a demon. Actually, no I won’t, because I’ve been thinking it for ages.

I HOPE HE TURNS OUT TO BE CTHULHU. And this was all just a plot to restore him to Ry’leh. Though, I always thought if he had an alter, it’d be Nyarlathotep. I never understood Crowley’s motive for cracking open Purgatory to -just- get the souls. He was already ruler of Hell— I figured he wanted something more, and ruling over Purgatory didn’t seem to be it. I thought -then- he’d come out and be OH HI LETTING OUT THE ELDER GODS (who technically are not of God’s making as the Leviathan’s are).
Especially because some of Nyarlathotep’s characteristics are -very- similar to Crowley. He’s one of the only deities to be outright malignant (like, in a plotting way, big guys like Cthulhu are more like giant beasts, not getting off on what they do), the only way to take the shape of a man, and a convincing one, he’s resourceful, he dresses all in black, and he corrupts people by making deals.
He also enjoys his work, immensely, and is usually a messenger figure for the elder gods, their go to guy, their errand boy. When Leviathans weren’t weak to electricity (as Eve’s worm baby was, which is a weakness of Nyarlahotep and other Lovecraftian monsters), I was a little disappointed, but now… I’m giddy that it means the Leviathans were just a byproduct that showed up in the way of an Elder God storyline. It really seemed like it hinted of Elder Gods in 6— only to have it turn out to be the Leviathans, a foe not out of Lovecraft Mythology, but another biblical one.
Unlike Leviathans that just want to have us as their food supply, and not really control us directly, the Elder Gods attack the psychosis so much, and I think it would be an awesome translation to the Supernatural storyline (again, Eve’s version of the Kahn worm, that’s the type of stuff Lovecraft monsters do, that or go insane/keep losing memory/blacking out until you join your local monster worshipping group).
Also. Tentacles. We saw some in Cas— but I couldn’t help but feel Dean’s watching on hentai was foreshadowing. Because it’d be pretty poetic for him to end up with a tentacle choking him to death. “sonofabitch, KNOW I KNOW HOW THOSE POOR ANIMATED SCHOOLGIRLS FELT!” But other than that, we haven’t really seen any— unless Dick transforms into a giant sea serpent— unlikely given the special effects budget in the past (DRAGONS ARE NOT GOONS IN SUITS).
Crossing my fingers, and my squishable Cthulhu is already in the mail.
Also, I find it disturbing Cthulhu is recognized by tumblr’s spell check….
