“but shal, how could crowley have slept with naomi when fergus macleod wasn’t alive yet????”
well. for starters, “mesopotamia” could’ve just been a general poetic. (I think SOME publications still called that in the 1920s, so totally possible it's just a poetic name usage by scottish man)
but also could be as simple as… he didn’t.
he has intel on her. and he’s posturing, as usual. because that’s what crowley does.
double entendres and innuendos are his weapons of choice to sow distrust, suspicion, discomfort, derision. to put you off balance, if he can. (and if that fails, he’ll switch to insults or, at worst, incessant goading.)
And the thing is… almost ALL his posturing is sexual. it’s how he wields power (from what traditionally tends to be from a weaker position)
it’s more about how he operates and fergus’s victimhood/ historical demon trauma more than it is a statement of de facto truth
he wants you to read into it
get distracted; get discomfited
just long enough to take your eye off the ball or give him the upper hand in a power struggle
