o!Phil (Crowley) Character Headcanons
[Birds of a Feather AU]
Crowley-Centric Posts:
His dynamic with Phil
Character Development
Hi I was infodumping about the AU and started thinking thoughts about this asshole, so have some more headcanons on how he ticks and whatnot.
Also I always model my headcanons to be plausibly canon because I expand upon actual canon. So while there is AU context baked into these, you could also consider them headcanons for Actual o!Phil too if you want.
I'm also writing these partially to make it clear that I am NOT woobifying this loser in this AU. Because I feel like some people could potentially mistakenly get that impression from some stuff I've written for the AU previously. Anyway.
First off: The headcanons in previous posts that state he's good at navigating social situations? Not actually true. The truth is he's a manipulator. He knows the right things to do & say, because that's how you get what you want. Phil is the one person he Can't fool like this though.
AKA: Despite being a pathetic floundering douche to anyone that isn't o!Sneeg, he's absolutely charismatic. It's a goddamn mystery how that is when he's so obnoxious and entitled, but it's true. Being a prettyboy with a classy outward appearance helps.
Overall? He's simultaneously utterly pathetic as hell but also has hella potential to be a scary piece of shit. And he is not above stooping low (to anyone but Phil, who he needs to remain in the good graces of because he's his meal ticket in Several ways). In his mind there's no level he can't stoop to that isn't still above everyone else. :)
Besides! Leaning into the "I'm a poor widdle wich baby who gwew up spoiwed so I down't know how to hewp myself 🥺" shit is a GREAT way to lower someone's guard and let them underestimate him. Which he can take FULL advantage of. :)
As time goes on, he'll slowly realize he's actually really good at weaponizing things of this nature. And he'll love the power trip it gives him. Y'know. Cause he's canonically a villain. And Phil's morally grey ass won't gaf unless it impacts him or someone he cares a lot about. Or like, a child.
He's a loser he's an asshole he's witty he's manipulative he's materialistic he's stubborn he's entitled he's a boyfailure he's egotistical he's naive he's power-hungry he's spiteful he's pathetic he's probably secretly insecure he's standoffish he's smug he's driven he's sneaky he's a bitch he's hot-tempered he's obnoxious he's eccentric he's a nuisance he's a fucking mess hiding behind a richboy facade.
Good fucking lord this guy can hold grudges. Fake idgafer for fucking REAL. He's that bitch that'll pretend it's all good and as soon as you part ways, he's plotting how to not only get even, but to "win" and to make you regret whatever you did to slight him
Like a true walking contradiction, he has soft spots. Even if just a few. And Phil knows one, and it's absolutely been filed away for leverage just in case. It's o!Sneeg. That little gremlin of a bug is the One thing that will twist Crowley's arm and get him to bend his knee 100% of the time.
When he gets invested in an idea or agenda he'll commit to it unwaveringly. Which is especially funny in this AU because it often entails getting his hands dirty and working his ass off, but he'll only properly realize that after the day's progress is done and then he's like EEEEEWWWWW <- a speck of dirt is on his precious glove.
There's so much I could say about how he's so careless because he thinks he's hot shit while Phil is always caring 25/8 because he's a Hardcore survivalist and all the absolute cinema that comes out of that foil but I think I can keep that vague because everyone should see the vision just from that alone.
The king of biting off more than he can chew and getting way in over his head because he's an overconfident fool who's desperate to prove to himself and (though he won't admit it) Phil that he's a capable, cunning opponent. Like an astronomically stupid level of sure of himself. Like hypothetically he would full-chested attempt to play Ender King for a fool in order to get the riches involved when in reality it'd be the other way around because it takes literally an entire pantheon to team up in order to pull a fast one on that guy. This fuckass bird wouldn't stand a chance in hell.
He himself is a sassy bitch but also his only true friend in the world lives and breathes sarcasm too. He can be SO deadpan. He's infuriatingly snarky. Phil HAS pulled a sword on him for getting on his last nerve with it.
I can't quite articulate this but something something growing up so carefree and spoiled and continuing to be that way as an adult only to find out The Truth which taints that freedom irreversibly and now he doesn't know what true freedom is or if he'll ever be able to actually experience it or if all freedom will always feel like a haunted lie now. And grappling with that while being the way he is and someone who is Not vulnerable with anyone. Or one guy but he's god knows where.
He grew up never having to worry about anything ever and has never experienced a lot of things until now. This guy does NOT know how to cope, especially not healthily. Whether it's bottling everything up or turning to gapple addiction or lashing out this guy CANNOT withstand stress. The pH of the stress is too high.
I can't articulate this one either but the way that his entire fucking world has been turned upside down and obliterated and how trying to deal with the loaded crisis that is That influences all of the above and contributes to and also reshapes the pitiful villainous scumbag he is.
Notes for chapter 7 of Birds of a Feather.
Hello! I was inspired by the always amazing @possum-quesadilla to write some details, background stuff, and other little notes for my harpy Beetlejuice fanfiction, Birds of a Feather. This is just chapter one for now.
Chapter 1- Feathered Finds
“It had what was either a scraggly beard or lichen on its face. Maybe both?”
Beej has plant life growing on his body! He could be his own little forest if he wanted to.
“My name is Shilo. I study cryptids and monsters. Ever since I found out that a harpy lived in the deepest part of these woods eight years ago, I dedicated my life to finding it! Yes, I moved to the woods and built my own house here, and yes, all my friends and family think I’m crazy, and yes, they tried to get me diagnosed with something, but it’s all been worth it! I knew you were real! Oh, what’s your name by the way?”
Fun fact: Shilo is autistic and has ADHD! She is also a big infodumper. She either talks to herself a bit, doesn’t talk for three days straight, or never stops talking. She’s just like me fr.
“And to answer your other questions, first, because when I get focused on a project, I get focused, and I’ve been interested in cryptids and monsters my whole life.”
Special interest moment !!
“Shilo wanted to fight back, wanted to argue that she didn’t wait this long searching for him just to not be able to publish her findings,”
By “publishing her findings”, Shilo was really planning on screaming about Beej on Reddit. I love this nerdy mad scientist loser girl <3333
“Before she could change her mind, Shilo wrapped her arms as far as she could around the harpy. He smelled of roadkill and pine sap. His soft chest feathers tickled her nose and she held her breath as his body stiffened.”
Is it a good idea to hug a large forest bird monster that you’ve just met? Probably not. Not that Shilo cares.
“You, my feathered friend, are a whopping seven feet and two inches tall!”
He’s a tall boy!! Even larger than the average male harpy (based on my slightly modified version of the species at least)! I wonder if there’s a reason behind that…
“Yeah? What, is parrot Shilo comin’ back again? If she is, you should dress the part. You’d look good in a bit of color.” He gestured to her current attire, a long sleeved black undershirt, ratty lab coat that looked older than time itself, and some black pants, stained with grass and grime”
All of her clothes are either stained or dirty. This girl is Not Good at keeping up with laundry.
“I dunno about immortal, ‘cause my mom definitely wasn’t. I guess I just have a long life span? I never really questioned it.”
…
“Wow!” Shilo stretched the word out, speaking a few octaves higher than normal. “That’s… such an interesting answer!” Beetlejuice didn’t seem to see her discomfort.”
Shilo isn’t amazing at picking up social skills, but Beetlejuice is worse.
“It was populated with tables, corkboards, and journals. So. Many. Journals.”
She has around 50-ish journals. She’s written in about 34. She’s actually completed about 10.
“He kept roaming the lab, sniffing at books, tables, and walls. From upstairs, he could hear the quiet clattering of what he assumed were pots and pans. He crawled onto the mattress and inhaled deeply. It smelled like her. Sweat, earth, and something vaguely floral. He liked that. He nuzzled against her pillow a bit,”
Sensory input is incredibly important to him, especially scents and sounds! He’s got a very sensitive nose and ears.
“SALMON!!!” Beetlejuice leapt up from his spot on the floor and lunged for Shilo. In his rush, he bit down on both the salmon and the plate, narrowly avoiding Shilo’s finger.”
Poor guy was starving :(
“He tried to sit down the way Shilo did, but his wings got in the way. After a bit of struggling, he stood up, made a low growling sound in the back of his throat, then kicked the chair over in a rage, sending it flying.”
When you try to fit in with your new friend but you’ve got two heavy duty feather dusters permanently strapped to your back.
“He jerked his head up, face smeared red with raspberry carnage.”
I picture him looking like a baby eating cake for the first time.
“A soft purring sound emitted from him as he dozed off again. Shilo made a mental note to write about that as she ran her fingers through his crest of hair, eventually joining him in slumberland.”
Despite being half bird, Beetlejuice purrs like a cat!! His feathers and hair are also very soft and fluffy!
Popstar!AU brainrot is hitting me really hard. Literally can't focus on anything else right now.
Wait wait wAiT what happened to MC when Luan was a cub
When Luan was learning to use his unique magic, he had a moment where he threw a tantrum ( as children do when frustrated ), which ended in his poor mama/papa birb shaking on the ground with their hands covering their ears.
Luan didn't even know what he did until he turned around and saw them like that.
After that, he's always been soft spoken, and careful with what he says.
