#Because Crowley deliberately spared Cas’ life already (when he honestly had no reason to)

[castielmacleod]

Hi! Have you already made a post about the parallel of both Crowley and Cas digging a bullet (specifically targeting them) out of their bodies to triumph over their enemies?

I feel like I've seen it.

Hello! I have not, though it’s neat that they both do that! I think it’d be fun to pretend Crowley got the idea from Cas in the first place, after learning what happened to Ion, before getting the chance to use it himself. Although if I remember correctly, Abaddon also frees herself from the devil’s trap bullet by digging it out (with her severed hand no less—VERY metal of her) so maybe it’s just the thing to do lol. Nothing tops Cas sticking his bullet in his opponent’s eye though, that was wicked clever.

It’s interesting that Abaddon wasn’t bothered that Crowley might attempt to free himself in more or less the same fashion she herself so recently accomplished, though I think she only wanted to slow him down rather than actually keep him in place permanently? So maybe it wasn’t a high priority for her anyway. Or maybe the writing is just bad 😭

Anyway if that post about Cas and Crowley’s tactical similarities does exist and you’re able to find it again, let me know! I’d love to have a look.

#Ask #I’m also curious about what kind of injuries will actually kill an angel…. like being stabbed with an angel blade obviously #Getting shot in the head with an angel blade bullet will also do it #But getting shot in the stomach won’t. At least not immediately? Crowley implies Cas will bleed out but #I’m not sure how blood loss would kill an angel exactly? #Maybe blood loss specifically from an angel blade bullet wound??? Lol #And then of course Cas is able to kill Ion by pushing the angel bullet into his eye #Maybe that counts as “stabbing” the way it does with an angel blade? #Or are angels especially vulnerable through their vessels’ eyes? #That might be kind of a cool weakness for angels to have actually. At least in a headcanon sense #Regarding the blood loss though there is a little notion in my head that Crowley was just lying that Cas would bleed out and die #Because Crowley deliberately spared Cas’ life already (when he honestly had no reason to) #(The tablet could have easily been taken off of Cas’ corpse) #But Cas would certainly know better than to think he could die from his vessel merely losing some blood. Even if it still hurt #So maybe Crowley was just saying that to make it seem like “oh I only ‘spared’ your life so you could bleed out painfully” #And not because he actually still cares in his own twisted way #But those are the c/c brainworms talking for sure lol #Anyway.
