Okay apologies if the following is tmi, you have been warned…
Watching Supernatural I realized that I felt the same as the original poster. At first I was like ahhh! What does that mean? I looked back on it and realized that this has been a thing for me for a while ie before Supernatural. I think I’ve figured out the why though.
Usually use of force isn’t something I’m attracted to, especially if it’s coming from me. I worry about hurting others all the time, and as far and someone I’m intimate with force from them is very scary too.I think why the idea of exorcism is badass and exciting to me is because there’s a thing-being-force inside/dominating the person and they don’t want it, but they can’t fight it off or can’t fight it alone. The person expelling the thing-being-force does so to help the possessed person, it is a very forceful intimate manner, but it is the help to heal and the thing-being-force is very negative. Also as a history lover, there’s some much history about possession and it’s relief that there’s a lot of mythos around it too, in sort it’s got a lot of baggage to explore there.
