Robbie said that he doesn’t like spelling “Cas” with 2 S’s because it makes the script unnecessarily longer by taking the text to another line. He said that Kripke was the one who started spelling it “Cass” because “he thought it looked cooler.”
#confirmed: there is no basis for ‘cass’ (via @casthegrumpy)
No basis? No basis?! This kind of attitude is why I stopped spelling it Cas. Cass is the canon spelling. Always has been. If a showrunner/creator’s choice of how to spell his character’s name isn’t enough “basis”, what the hell is? It’s Cass in every single script, it’s Cass in every official publication from press releases to books, it’s Cass in closed captioning, it was Cass long before fandom decided it should be Cas. (Not to mention there are as many arguments for “Cass” as there are for “Cas”.) There’s your fucking “basis.”
As always, I have no problem with Cas as an alternate fanon spelling–even as the preferred fanon spelling. It’s this disgusting, enraging, horrid Cas-only attitude I hate. “No basis”? Because some writer who came on the show three seasons after Cass claims he preferred “Cas” too? What the fuck is wrong with this fandom? Why can’t you just let both spellings coexist? Let the show–and those of us who prefer it for whatever reason–spell it Cass, you spell it Cas, both spellings are perfectly acceptable, it’s all fine.
