[Hello people, it's Castiel; it might not be all that tough to tell by the creepy intense staring, despite the change of body. She doesn't seem bothered by this whole thing in the slightest, for reasons about to become clear.]

It seems this change of physical appearance is greatly distressing for many. I don't understand. It is likely only temporary, and what is of such great import of the sex of the body you possess?

[The angel is a bastion of sensitivity, but she is genderless and has no particular preference for vessel. She doesn't understand how at all how big a deal this is for most people.]

[blondejokes]

Well, for one, I wasn't born this way!

[ofthursday]

Humans are born very small and relatively helpless, and you are no longer that either.

[Video]

[integrity]

Do you actually think before you speak or do you just wake up every morning and decide 'I'll attempt to make myself look twice as stupid today'?

[The woman on the screen is stirring liquor into her tea.

Big fucking surprise who it is.]

[Video]

[ofthursday]

I thought about this. That is why I was confused and felt it necessary to ask.

It is not as though I would have been given an answer had I asked you.

[Yes, even she can tell that's Crowley.]

[doeswhathewants]

Sing it, sister.

It is fun.

[ofthursday]

Even for those who do not find it 'fun' I would expect there to be some sort of curiosity, considering how many difficulties humans seem to have understanding the other sex, for whatever reason. This is an opportunity.

[worntoprom]

It's important, Cas. Take my word for it.

[ofthursday]

So it seems. But I don't understand why.

[matereloah]

[Oh for fuck'ssake, Cas. Chuck pushes his glorious haircape out of his eyes and sighs DEEPLY.]

Gender identity and body image are connected really closely. It's a neurological thing- body and brain mapping and stuff.

[He majored in English, not science crap.]

Now everyone's bodies and brains are out of sync. Imagine losing your Grace- or your wings.

[ofthursday]

[A pause, as she processes that. She knows how humans work, physically, but that's mostly in the general processes and far less in the ones in the brain. If she was a little better at that, she might not have to ask any sort of questions like this, who knows.

She almost protests that she's been stuck in a body of a completely different species so she understands that but she didn't whine about it, but doesn't. Because at least this makes sense to her, instead of it being 'humans changing into other humans which is what they already are'.]

Oh. That makes sense.

[mulletrock]

Wow, Cas. You're hot.

[He's just trying to get under his skin but it's partly truth. He's a lot hotter than Dean would've figured all blue eyes and dark flowing hair.]

You still wearin' the clothes Crowley bought you or is he takin' you shopping later for the new frame?

[integrity]

So are you.

[Arched. Eyebrows.]

[ofthursday]

Thank you.

[She's pretty sure that's the right reply to such a comment anyway, even from Dean.]

I'm certain Crowley will take the opportunity to attempt to make me look 'not homeless' and as there is actual reason for it, I will allow it.

[Right now she's wearing her own clothes, which don't fit normally and so are now even looser.]

[motioned]

waking up completely different from the way you went to sleep is kind of a big thing!

[Video]

[ofthursday]

It happens often enough here.

[Voice]

[moveslikestrider]

You know when someone's trouser snake goes running scared and leaves them with a meat wallet, they get a little upset.

[Voice]

[ofthursday]

[PAUSE.]

I did not understand any of that and I'm not certain I desire to.

[ironboobs]

Guys usually get pretty fond of their right hand man. [PAUSE] Or left.

[ofthursday]

[Stare. Silence for a moment.]

I presume that is a euphemism.

[uberboned]

[FACEPALMING.]

Oh please don't make them all start ranting about gender politics, Castiel. We'll be here all night.

[ofthursday]

I just asked a question.

[Humans are so touchy sometimes.]

video.

[comeshonesty]

[ oh castiel, always the one to ask the awkward, inappropriate questions. not that death particularly cares about humans' little feelings, but still. ]

Perhaps not the appropriate time to ask such a question.

[ a sip of her.. probably coffee. ]

You never were particularly subtle.

video.

[ofthursday]

[Oh. Death. She's a little cautious in her reply.]

I've been told to ask when I don't understand something about humans, in hopes of learning.

[servingmichael]

They wouldn't have developed such gendered languages were it not of great import, would they?

[ofthursday]

[It takes a minute or two for her to reply, carefully neutral.]

I understand it's of import. I don't understand why.
