Crowstiel for the ship meme thing, of course! ;D
when I started shipping it if I did: I think it was when I first sawĀ āthe man who would be kingā That was instantly my favorite episode and seeing a unhealthy demon/angel partnership??? Of fucking course Iām going to ship that.
my thoughts: I love them. They are probably my top otp (at the very least in the top three). Crowstiel has literally everything going for them. Theyāre angsty, kinky, unhealthy, sworn enemies but theyāre also in love and I think that given the right circumstances they have potential to actually be a healthy, committed pair.
What makes me happy about them: I think that they are perfectly suited for each other. Theyāre so similar, theyāve both been around so long, theyāve seen the world grow up, they are both outcasts among their species. I think that they understand each other on a level that no one else really can and because of that they are able to really be themselves around each other. Cas can stop acting the way he thinks an angel is supposed to act and let the worst parts of himself show and Crowley can actually show that he has some feelings that Hell hasnāt burnt up yet.
What makes me sad about them: Letās be real here. Itād be hard for these two to have a happily ever after. Theyāre both monsters in their own right and unfortunately they have to deal with the rest of the world (aka, Sam and Dean) I think that their responsibilities would drive a wedge between them and eventually they would crash and burn (Because with Cas and Crowley there would be no such thing as an easy breakup).
things done in fanfic that annoys me: WHEN PEOPLE TAG A FIC AS CROWSTIEL JUST SO THEY CAN MAKE CROWLEY THE ASSHOLE ABUSIVE BF SO THAT DEAN CAN SAVE CAS HONESTLY FUCK THATĀ
things I look for in fanfic: I meanā¦..itās mainly bdsm fanfic so thereās that But I also look for angsty fics with a happy ending, Crowley using lots of pet names, Cas being a willing member of the relationship, I really donāt have many conditions, I read pretty much all the crowstiel fic
Who Iād be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Iād be happy with Cas ending up with Dean but tbh I donāt think Crowley could really end up with anyone and in the context of Cas and Crowley as exes Iām kind of that asshole who doesnāt want them to be with anyone else.
My happily ever after for them: Crowley as king of hell and Cas as king consort. Like fight me on this, they would be such a power couple, no big bad would dare fuck with them. Sam and Dean could finally retire cause cāmon Cas married the king of hell, they donāt have to worry about anything anymore.
who is the big spoon/little spoon: Crowley is big spoon 99% of the time because he is an insecure idiot who for some dumb reason seems to think that him being little spoon = him needing cas = him being weak. (cas thinks heās ridiculous and will forcibly be the big spoon whenever Crowley is drunk enough that he wonāt argue about it
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Art! These two have been around for a while no one can appreciate a good painting like them. When theyāre between apocalypses they love going to places like MOMA and the Louvre and wandering around, ready to criticize the fuck out of every other painting they see. (They rarely agree on any pieces that they actually like, but they can always agree on what they dislike)
