ok can we talk about the opening song because: “Is this a lasting treasure/Or just a moment’s pleasure?/Can I believe the magic of your sighs/Will you still love me tomorrow?/Tonight with words unspoken/And you say that I’m the only one/But will my heart be broken/When the night meets the morning star? I’d like to know that your love/Is love I can be sure of/So tell me now, cause I won’t ask again/Will you still love me tomorrow

neven-ebrez:

We most certainly can!  And I think it’s Destiel-related (and Amara versus Lucifer) all the way!  The song is about someone wondering if their lover is lying to them. There’s doubt, whether what is happening is true, or whether it’ll be gone once daylight comes.  

“When night meets the morning star

The easy reading here is talking about Amara versus Lucifer.  The song is framed around what happens AFTER that.  “Will you still love me tomorrow?”  It’s also talking about Amara meeting Cas, who is frequently symbolized by the sun, which is what the morning star is. It’s a beautifully selected song because Lucifer is currently wearing Cas so the two meanings become ONE.  

All throughout 11×11 we see the setup for Amara vs Lucifer.  The victims are all variations of what happened to Cas, with Amara being the banshee (that Lucifer will use against Dean).

  • Eileen’s dad is suffering from depression (his wife comments it’s good to see him smile and he says that he’s trying
  • Harold is hated by most of his fellow kind at a hotel (which is how Heaven is compartmentalized)
  • Arthur is suffering from heartbreak as the result of non verbal communication, sending poop is his response (it’s funny because the Darkness is referred to by Dean as ‘a giant smelly fart’ and in not so many words, basically, a ‘shit storm’ earlier this season).  Harold is also staying away from “home”.

The banshee being Amara:

  • A long dark low cut dress
  • Dark hair
  • Ability to compel, get into one’s head
  • Consumes the victims

So… there’s definitely a Casifer/Amara showdown coming.  That much I can say for sure.  It’s right in the song and it’s right in all the mirrors.  I think it’s important to note that Cas (symbolized by the golden sun by Robbie in 9×18, specifically, but by other parts of the narrative throughout), not Lucifer, is the focus of the mirrors.  Well, more specifically, the reasons Cas said “yes” are what are the focus.  This makes the Amara/Lucifer fight about Cas in some way.  It is also about Dean, who was framed as the last victim and who Lucifer figured out how to exploit to get to Amara in 11×11.  Mildred, following her heart and clad in GOLD (a Dean mirror), and Eileen, being unable to be affected by the banshee’s compelling power (a Sam mirror), used teamwork and GOLD (very unique, as mostly the weapons are silver, but it seems Robbie wanted to drive home the sun symbolism here) to finally slay the banshee.  

Based on the song, all the mirrors, visual cues, and motifs this is what I’m guessing is coming.  Lucifer will use Dean’s bond with Amara to lure her out and then it’ll be up to Sam (unaffected by Amara) and Dean (being true to his heart), to save Cas from the fallout.  So far, this is just one set of arc mirrors, we need to see variations before making more educated guesses off this. Robbie is normally very, very good with structure and foreshadowing tho. Hopefully Cas will still be there for Dean, when daylight comes.
