Screaming with excitement right now
Crowley in season 8x07 was willing to knife fight Castiel. That was when he assumed Cas’ was too weak to use the full smite of his angel powers
I love it, because Crowley does not underestimate Cas in anyway. Crowley has always had a healthy appreciation for Cas’ abilities, so Crowley is more than aware of how BAMF Cas is at knife to knife fighting. Yet Crowley believed he had a chance, which shows that Crowley is pretty BAMF himself
I won’t lie, I think Cas would win in a “fight until one is knocked out” type situation. Cas is millions of years old and a soldier, it is highly unlikely Crowley would be better than him, and I just “yeah sure lol” whenever Dean is made to be more skilled than Cas? like what are the directors smoking? Dean is skilled but he doesn’t have millions of years of experience. Or if Cas only began fighting when humans were created, then thousands of years
But do I think Crowley could have put up a good enough fight, with his cunning, to stun Cas for just long enough to teleport away with Kevin and the tablet?
The answer is yes. It takes 7 milliseconds to snap your fingers. He needs to use cunning long enough to have that 7 milliseconds. Don’t get me wrong Cas would absolutely kick Crowley’s arse in any fight, even a non power fight where it’s just melee vs melee but I do think Crowley has enough skill to buy himself 7 milliseconds and that is an incredible feat, because Cas has way more experience even if he didn’t have powers, which he did
So why didn’t Crowley teleport with Kevin and the tablet while Cas was doing his light show? We know from 7x23 that Crowley doesn’t need to touch an item or people to teleport them
The answer I believe is this:
originally Crowley thought Cas didn’t have enough powers. The light show made him think okay maybe I was wrong. Originally he thought he just needed to stun Cas long enough to get him, the tablet and Kevin out and Cas wouldn’t be able to follow because he wasn’t in good shape
Cas was able to bluff well enough to make Crowley believe he was fine and if we remember from 5x10 Cas can follow Crowley’s teleportation energy like how he followed Crowley to his house, even though Crowley teleported before him
So if you already know the angel can follow your teleportation signature, and you guess that they still have some power left in them to follow you, what would be the point? Fold your cards and try again. You can risk teleporting away, but if the angel follows you they might not give you an advantage of warning you with a light show next time

okay man controversial take i have. there's somehow not enough lgbt tf2 content. it sounds bonkers but hear me out. i think we need to invest in the homosexuality of tf2 more. like i know people probably think "oh yeah we have so much gay content" no we don't. first of all there will never be enough, second of all there's still traces of stereotyping and flanderization in how people portray the characters w their identities, and third of all people aren't really going ALL out. i love myself some nsfw headcanons but there's only so many you can make before it's repetitive. go wild with that shit. tell me about how you think scout has a fetish for shoving beer bottles up his ass or something (#justbostontingz). more in depth analysis of how ship dynamics play out and how they interact. more characterization on how they deal w their identities. more experimental portrayals of the characters that deviate from how they're usually portrayed (people are multifaceted, yes pyro crayons fire my little pony but they're more than that). in general just more ms pauling. more engineer top scars.
I'M DOING THIS !!! Girl u are describing my posts u should follow me
