Juliet Appreciation Week: Jan 23rd- Hellhound Out for a stroll

@juliet-hellhound-week

ID: Two digital drawings of Crowley and three hellhounds. In the first drawing, they are walking towards the left of the image. Crowley appears as a human and the hellhounds as three wolf-like creatures of varying sizes, though all large, with two sets of eyes each. In the second drawing, they are walking towards the right of the image. Crowley has a more 'demonic' form with horns, wings, and two sets of eyes. The hellhounds appear as skeletons with black smoke pouring out from them. End ID.

@juliet-hellhound-week, here is a ridiculous little story for the Juliet Appreciation Week day two prompt "claws and fangs."

It can be considered a backstory for this awesome outfit drawn by @1967-impala

(This took place in the AU after the end of my fic “Heart of a Hellhound”.  Having defeated their enemies and restored their families, Castiel and Jack and Kelly were living in a cabin in the woods, Crowley reclaimed hell, and Castiel and Crowley were good friends.)

“Why is my new suit not yet ready?” Crowley barked at his tailor, most displeased.

“It’s not my fault, your majesty.”  His tailor spread out his hands.  “I’ve had to restart it three times.”

“Because you screwed up the seams?”

“No, each time it was perfection. But look what happened to them.”

The tailor led Crowley to the back room, where three identical suits hang on three mannequins.

Indeed, the suits were elegantly shaped, beautifully detailed, each one more handsome than the next.

…Except for the part where the front or back or both had been thoroughly slashed in five long, clean lines.

“Ah.” 

Crowley had a pretty good idea what happened.

“Juliet!” He summoned his head hellhound.

A frenzy of loud clicks and clacks announced the arrival of the beast; when going to see Crowley, she doesn’t bother to retract her claws for stealth.

“What’s up, Papa?”

“Did you do this?” Crowley pointed at the shredded suits.

“Oh yes!  The fabric feels so nice under my claws!”

“Juliet, these are my suits.  You must not destroy them.”

“Pfffft.  They look great with the slits.  You should wear it on a date.”

“Do you hear me?  You are forbidden from touching my suit.”

But Crowley knew that his admonishment went in one ear, and out the other.

So when it happened again three more times, Crowley finally had enough.

He went to Juliet’s favorite woods, and found the tree stump Juliet liked to scratch her nails on.

He performed a transmutation spell and altered the tree’s substance from wood to a kind of coarsely ground angel blade material.  Like an adamantine sandpaper.

Whistling, he went back to his throne, and waited.

Soon, he heard a blood curdling howl. 

Crowley was starting to feel a little uneasy.

Then the hellhound was standing in front of him, red eyes glaring at him accusingly.

“I know it was you, Papa.”

She held up a paw.

“Look what you’ve done to me!  Look!”

Her nails were filed down into neat, smooth half moons. 

“Why, Juliet, your nails are so pretty!” Crowley suppressed a laugh.

Juliet threw her massive head back, and howled bloody murder once again.

“Papa, why do you betray me?”

Crowley huffed.

“Betray you?  I’ve improved you!  People pay good money to get their dog’s nails trimmed!  There are television commercials!”

"I am defenseless now!"

"Oh, aside from your sabor teeth, your fire breath, and your invisibility cloak? Besides, all our enemies have been vanquished, who do you even need to defend yourself against?"

Inside, Crowley was indeed feeling guilty.  But he was determined not to let Juliet walk all over him this time.

Juliet barked and growled, whirled around like a beast possessed, and scratched furiously at Crowley’s throne—realizing, to her further horror, that her trimmed nails were only able to leave shallow incisions on the upholstery.

Realizing that no amount of tantrum was going to bring her razor claws back, she stopped, gave Crowley a tragic stare, and disappeared in a black smoke.

Crowley decided to let his spoiled hellhound cool off for a few days.  She’ll forget all about it, he thought.

When Juliet was nowhere to be seen for three days, he started to worry.

Crowley went to Juliet’s own suite in Hell, with a sweeping view of the burning sulfur lake.

There he found a note that Juliet left for him.

“I have run away from Hell.  Goodbye forever.”

Crowley groaned and picked up his cell phone.

“Hello, Crowley.”  Said the gravelly voice on the other end of the phone.

“Hello, Feathers.” Though worried, a smile cracked involuntarily on Crowley’s face.  “Is Juliet over there with you?”

A beat of silence, and then, “No?”

Crowley’s smile grew bigger.

“You are a terrible liar. ”

“I am sorry, Crowley.  I don’t know what happened between you two, but she made me promise not to tell you.”

“It’s alright.  Let her stay with you until she comes to her senses and comes back.”

“Crowley, she was crying.  With tears!  Whatever you did, you should apologize to her.”

“How come you never choose my side?”  Crowley’s voice dripped with hurt feelings, and he enjoyed immensely the minutes of awkward stammering as the angel tried to redeem himself.

A week later, Juliet returned to Hell.

However, instead of a defeated, demure pet that Crowley expected, Juliet sauntered in with head held high, and eyes gleaming like rubies. 

“Juliet!  Did you have a good time at Castiel’s house?”

“Of course!  They treat me like a queen over there!”

Juliet stuck out her plump belly.

“Look! Jack fed me honey cakes every day!”

“You are a hellhound.  You can’t get fat.”

“Take it back!  Hellhounds are supposed to have pot bellies!”

“Fine, congratulations on your pot belly.”

“And Kelly knit many sweaters for me, and didn’t mind it at all when I shredded them.”

Crowley groaned.

“Ah… still mad at me about your nails?”

“Not any more.”  Juliet twirled in a tight, elegant circle, like a triumphant ballerina. 

“Now, look and weep at what Castiel did for me with his grace.”

She held up a paw.  Her claws had grown back sharper and stronger than ever, glistening menacingly like five daggers.

She walked over to the throne.

“No…  Don’t you dare, Juliet.”

With eyes directly on Crowley, Juliet brought down her claw in one smooth swipe, and rent the upholstery into oblivion.

“Juliet!”

Another two weeks passed, and it was time for Castiel and Crowley’s monthly meeting (or date, if you’d like).

“Nice suit,” Castiel didn’t usually understand fashion, but the dark grey and burgundy combination was so dashing he would have to be blind not to notice.

“Thanks,” Crowley beamed.  “Now, show me your blade.”

Castiel wasn’t sure if it was some kind of innuendo, but he agreeably drew his angel blade.

“What for?”

“I want you to stab me.”

“I will do no such thing.”

“Come on.  I assure you, it’s fine.”

Castiel frowned, and made a gentle slash at his suit.

“Oh Cas.  I asked you to stab me, not to tenderly caress me.”

Seeing that the suit remained pristine, Castiel understood the purpose. 

This time, he drove his blade forward with some real force.

He could always heal Crowley if necessary, he thought.

The blade was stopped at the burgundy vest, and could not penetrate it.

Castiel was pleasantly surprised.

“You made an angel blade-proof suit.  I am impressed.”

“My R&D demons and my tailor made a good team, don’t you think?” Crowley grinned proudly. “Protection sigils, woven into the fabric, with efficacy against a wide range of weapons.” 

“I take it you are now invincible to demon knives, salt, holy water, etc.”

“Yes.  Most importantly, my suits are now indestructible by hellhound claws.”

So this was how Crowley invented armored suits that were warded against all supernatural forces.

--and he made matching armor for Juliet too, of course!

The second part of my “Hellhounds through History” for @juliet-hellhound-week! While the other vase was more of a dedication to Juliet, this vase serves more as a warning to unfortunate souls….

The design, including the running person and the style of Juliet is based off of real vases.

The words are “ευλαβεισο την κυνα του Ταρταρου• ο δαιμων η Ιουλιετα”, which means “Beware the dog of Hell, the demon Juliet” :)

Part 1

More info and ID below!

I wrote the words in boustrophedon, which is the writing system used in Ancient Greece where every other line is reverse with flipped letters. It’s not totally accurate because I had to use lowercase instead of all caps, or else the letters wouldnt all fit lol.

As mentioned in my old Crowley edit post, i chose “Tartarus” instead of “Hades” to translate “hell”, since the place of Hades is the afterlife in general, and Tartarus is the place of torture. And of course, “daimon” doesnt have the same connotations as English “demon”, but its the best fit! I chose “ευλαβεισθαι” instead of “φυλασσομαι” because it means “to fear, beware, have reverence for”, etc, rather than “to beware, watch, keep guard, avoid, etc”.

Credit

Size reference because it is small and im proud how well they still came out! :)

[Image description: The first attachment is a video of a small orange and black vase being rotated. The front side is a drawing of a stylized Juliet chasing an Ancient Greek soldier. There are also words that say “ευλαβεισο την κυνα του Ταρταρου• ο δαιμων η Ιουλιετα” in the boustrophedon writing style. The second attachment is an image of the small Juliet vase next to the larger vase from the video with a sharpie in front. The height of the large vase is about half of the sharpie, and the small vase is about one fourth. End image description.]

Juliet Appreciation Week: Jan 27th- Haunted Not very on theme this time sorry! This is a drawing I did while on holiday last week, with Crowley and his pack replacing myself observing a really beautiful area.

@juliet-hellhound-week

ID: Two images of a digital drawing of Crowley and three hellhounds. They are standing in a opening, surrounded by rocky cliffs with a single rock in the centre. The ground is stony and there are patches of greenery in the opening. It is getting dark, but still light enough to make out the area clearly and there are lights rising from the centre of the clearing towards the sky. The hounds appear as large wolves with two sets of eyes. The group are standing with their backs to the viewer, facing the centre of the space. The smallest hound (Emilia) is at the back of the group, looking to the side and the largest (Juliet) is looking back over her shoulder towards the viewer. Crowley and the middle hound (Ophelia) are both looking forwards. The second image is a close up from the first one, showing Crowley and the hellhounds specifically. End ID.

Juliet Appreciation Week: Jan 29th- Hunt/Hunted

Mine's bigger 😈

@juliet-hellhound-week

ID: Three images of a digital drawing of Crowley and three hellhounds from episode 5x20 of Supernatural. They are standing in a dark room, with a fire in the fireplace behind them. The hellhounds appear as wolf skeletons, with two sets of burning eyes (literally- small flames in their eye sockets) and black smoke rising from their rib cages. The hounds are standing around Crowley, who is patting the largest (Juliet) on the back. The second two images are close up of the first. The first close up shows Crowley and Juliet, with devil horns and tail and the words "Mine's bigger :)" doodled over Crowley. The second close up shows the other two hounds (Ophelia and Emilia). End ID.

Juliet Appreciation Week: Jan 24th- Graveyard

Uhoh

@juliet-hellhound-week

ID: Digital drawing of the scene from 9x21 of Supernatural where Juliet has Sam and Dean trapped in the Mausoleum. The view is of Juliet in skeleton/shadow form through the gate, which is held shut by a crowbar. Dean's arm is visible across the top of the image, trying to hold the gates shut, with Sam's hands bracing the crowbar. Juliet's jaws are open and her eyes are flames. The shadows obscure the view of the graveyard and most of Juliet's form. End ID.

Juliet Appreciation Week: Jan 28th- Fire Rescuing a friend :)

@juliet-hellhound-week

ID: Digital drawing of the scene from episode 6x20 of Supernatural where Crowley frees Cas from the Winchesters' trap. It is a birds eye view, showing the whole room in shades of grey-blue with the fire and light in orange. Two hellhounds are circling Cas, who is still trapped, with the third leaning against Crowley's side. Crowley's hand is raised, in the process of snapping his fingers to free Cas. There is blue/white 'smoke' surrounded Cas to show his trueform being confined by the holy fire. Below the image are three zoomed in images showing close ups of the hellhounds and Crowley. End ID.

Some additional thoughts below the cut

My HC for the appearance of hellhounds is that they have multiple aspects and so can appear differently to different people at the same time. Basically, they have three appearances:

Invisible (as they appear to most people)

Their hunting form (seen by their prey and also the form made visible by burning glass in holy fire, skeleton + smoke)

Cute and fluffy (seen by their friends, basically a wolf with four eyes)

I think when it comes to each other they can kinda see all aspects at the same time.

But for this scenario I have them in their friendly form because Cas has been an ally for around a year and a half, so they see him as a friend. HOWEVER, since he and Crowley are fighting and things are starting to get Tense, I also have their spinous processes, iliac crests, and scapulae partially visible to indicate that their hunting form is kinda poking through in response to the Weird Vibes that are going on at this point.

[littlebluejaydraws]

The king and his hound :)

With @juliet-hellhound-week about upon us, I wanted to work out a slightly more demonic form for Crowley to go along with the hellhounds' aggressive forms.

My HC for this is that more powerful demons (e.g. Alistair, Azazel, Lilith, Abaddon, etc.) have the ability to let their demonic form bleed through a little and alter their vessel's appearance if they choose. These forms are personal and can change over time. Crowley has the two sets of eyes in this form as a reflection of his relationship with his hounds :) I don't think he would take this form very often in front of others- it's a threat display that doesn't quite match his usual mo. The specific moment in canon where I imagine this being brought out would be at the end of season 10 when Sam attempts to murder him and fails, which is the moment that inspired this idea for me.

ID: A compilation of four digital drawings of Crowley. There are two head shots in mostly black and white, one in normal 'human' form and one altered to show Crowley with two sets of red eyes and a ring of horns around his head, like a crown. There are also two full body shots, showing Crowley in profile. Likewise, one of these is in normal human form and the other is altered as with the head shot. These shots also have a hellhound walking beside him in wolf form next to human Crowley and skeleton form against demon Crowley. The full body demon form also shows large black/red wings tucked against Crowley's back. End ID.
