Crowley let religion dictate his youth and ultimately abandons it after his comrades get slaughtered right in front of him by a vampire...pretty fucked up tbh
I DO respect him after he quits being a knight and spends time reflecting why the crusades were bullshit and feels regret because he was blinded by religion and killed so many people over a false god.
I think it was really sad how even after a year after he quit he’s still referred to as a “hero” from the crusades even though he was affected so badly by it he developed ptsd and ends up meeting ferid who manipulated him from start to finish like....
This man really had such a shitty last year of his human life and even up to the moment when he gets turned into a vampire by ferid like.... it’s awful
Though there was a time where his life was starting to go uphill after he took in an orphaned kid and continued teaching in his swordsmanship classes but ferid just had to fuck everything up SO IN CONCLUSION FUCK FERID
Ok last tweet then I’ll shut up but this thread is the reason why I think of human Crowley when I listen to this skbdjsbfjd https://open.spotify.com/track/3orEOtd8CPL8GFlpRpKuoE?si=eIiPm-ZuS1qND3nNFtK3og
