Yeahā¦ I resent this love triangle so much just because it so unabashedly exists šĀ
I personally donāt think anyone was actually implicated in reciprocating it in any way until Drowley in season 10 but Crowleyās mix of aggressive flirting and apparently developing real crushes despite his best efforts has made me convinced heās in love with all 4 of Team Free Will one point or anotherā¦ Samās always had the least amount of patience for him and would happily just kill him, but from the start Deanās resentfully had chemistry with him, so Iāve always seen 6×20 as Crowley gleefully elbowing in on the DeanCas thing almost as much to spite Dean as anything on the personal side rather than the plot sideā¦ The Dean/Cas/Crowley love triangle haunts me. š Crowley just seems so aware heās homewrecking them, maybe because since he showed up to the āwatched him rake leavesā moment he actually got to feel like he was stealing Cas from Deanā¦Ā
Anyway I think that was much more on Crowley, but it did exactly the same as the season 10 Dean/Cas/Crowley love triangle, which was cast one random branch of it romantically (albeit in the weird/horrible Crowley being flirtatious way) so that the other branch of it between Dean and Cas is being talked about in those terms as wellā¦
Oh, the Dean/Cas/Crowley triangle has always been real. Cas and Crowley have been mirrors for each other since forever after all, their characters have always been connected in the narrativeā¦
This is one of those things that the show does that leads me to sit in astonishment at how they can actually be so bloody bold in the subtext to the extent that it becomes an actual serious plot point in season 10. Drowley specifically, none of us asked for it. None of us wanted it, but it was shoved at us anyway by the shows subtext which was so blatantly obvious Iām surprised that even the most oblivious of viewers didnāt catch on. Crowley is weirdly in love with Dean and even weirder is that he is well aware that this makes him a home wrecker in a manner of ways. That deleted scene from 10×14 continues to amaze me everytime I watch itā¦ like SERIOUSLY SHOW? I donāt think that Cas actually went there with Crowley in season 6 since he was rather repulsed by the idea of working with himā¦ but I have no doubt that Crowley tried it on. Cas and Crowley now have this weird relationship where they both have a mutual respect for one another, in one way because they play their parts as the (literal) angel and demon on Deans shoulders, and also because both are very much aware of their hopeless devotion to him. It was after all, canonical portrayed as a competition for deans affections in 10×14, when he chose Cas over Crowley.
So yeah as far as this weird love triangle goes, very much real since season 6 where Crowley has been trying his luck with each of them to take what he can get. I personally only think he succeeded with Dean (no seriously). Him and Dean hooked up whilst Dean was all demonic (which can be argued as dub con anyway since Dean wasnāt right of mind) but still. They went there. Crowley implied as much in 11×02. Iāll never get over that fact.
Tbh drowley is literally the worst because as you say most of us didnāt even want it, so youāre there half laughing half just shaking your head in astonishment thinking of how it seems that destiel is so out there, so all-in-your-head, like the possibility of canon is SUCH a shocking concept for the creative team, but then at the same time theyāre like, hey you know what we should do? Really push the subtextual drowley. Yeah damn right. Dean and Crowley. With really blatant sexual and romantic subtext. Why not stop at an alliance? Or why not depict it as a brotherhood, like when they were both demons they were kinda like twins, connected in their devious ways? Nah. Nah, we really need to push that kinda-one-sided-but-maybe-not-completely-for-a-while romantic+sexual portrayal for Reasons. What reasons? Who the hell knows. Meanwhile weāre all here just like, OK THEN, DROWLEY THEN, like what can you do, but weāre also here like YOUāRE GIVING US MIXED SIGNALS DUDE. And then crowleyās all like āooh we had such a āØšāØBromanceāØšāØ deanā, and youāre like ALRIGHT I GIVE UP WHAT ARE YOU EVEN PLAYING AT. I FUCKING GIVE UP
Hahaha that was my exact response back in like, 10×01ā¦ And I have not managed to get over it sinceā¦ just sitting here likeā¦ they decided to write Dean a relationship with a dudeā¦ and it was Crowley??

Why though did we get in 4×21 a scene of (imaginary) Alastair torturing Sam? I mean Dean was the character who had the thematic relation with hell and Alastair, it was his storyline, not Samās. Except for the chain scene in 3×16 and the light flashes in 4×1, it was never explicitly shown what happened to Dean in hell, and the dialogue about it was most often only superficial. So what sense does it make on a narrative level to write Sam being affected by a story element that wasnāt even connected to him (but to Dean) in the first place?! Itās as if even when Dean has a storyline, Sam still gets more explicit written content out of that storyline than Dean.
