Was this what happened when someone looked upon the true form of a God? Were they fully unprepared for the sight before them? Was that the true test, to see something so unfathomable and horrific and still find it...
"Beautiful," you muttered. "God...Eddie, you're beautiful."
(Excerpt from As Above, So Below Chapter 6: Revelation)
A commission from the lovely @toomanyacorns. Or, more accurately, PART of a larger commission by Kelso, just needed to do a little fast hand photoshop magic because it contains a huge spoiler and only a few people know about it. And I will be creating a V2 post once we get there (not long now).
BUT! Our brave Knight and her lost love in his monstrous form.
This one has been a long time in the making and once again Kelso drew this with only a few sentences of a description, almost no other references besides the art that she drew herself . I know a lot of AASB came from my brain but she honestly did a lot in shaping some of the imagery in this story with her wonderful imagination and skill and I cannot thank her enough for her talent and her friendship.

“Neil," Wymack said.
Neil, Wymack called him, even when he looked like this, even with his father's face and his father's eyes and the Moriyamas' number on his face. Neil, Wymack called him, and more than anything Neil wanted it to be true. He stopped fighting to get free; the hands that had been trying to wrench Wymack's arms off him now held on for dear life.
So I saw your post on trying to figure out who’s behind Chimney in the promo, and I gotta mention one thing that’s bothering me and would love your commentary.
So in season 5, episode 4 (I believe?) after Maddie runs away and Chimney is freaking out, and when Buck comes to check in on him, Buck essentially says that no one is making Maddie do anything.
Chimney ends up bringing up Doug. Saying, specifically, “Doug did.”
Buck then says that Doug is dead, and chimney says:
“Is he, though? I mean, did you see a body? Did anyone see a body?”
That line has been bothering me SENSE.
Thoughts?? Or am I just looking too much into things?
Thank you @travelandwriting for the ask.
This answer is in response to this post.
You posed a good question from 5x4 that was brought up during Chimney's conversation with Buck about Maddie's deceased husband, Doug Kendall. I just watched the 2x13 scene of Maddie killing him again to be sure and since the coroner put him in a body bag, it appears he did die after she stabbed him multiple times. Also, she got the insurance money from his death in season 3 when his estate was settled.
If by some chance, he woke up and he's not dead, then the question is, where has he been all this time? Was he recovering in a bunker somewhere?
Now, there's a small possibility (like a .00001% chance) that he woke up (Maddie stabbed him in the shoulder and in the back) while his body was being transported. The fact is there was a HELICOPTER on the scene too and Athena was talking to them on her radio and the aerial view of the scene is below.
Reminder, T.K. was already gone from the 118 so the speculation that follows may not be too farfetched.
If he was flying it and he air lifted Doug out but he woke up during the transport; maybe Doug paid him to keep quiet about him being alive. Also, Doug was a surgeon which means he would know how to fix his own wounds so there's that.
If any of this speculation is true and Doug did wake up, it makes sense why T.K. would want to get next to Buck so Doug could find out where the bachelor party would be so he could finish the job. He stalked Maddie for months starting in 2x10 while he pretended to be Chimney's friend before he stabbed him in 2x12.
Full disclosure: with all the continuity issues in seasons 5 and 6, I'm not sure 9-1-1 would be this detailed but it's not a long shot since TM is back.
Unless they show more scenes in the upcoming trailers, we'll have to wait until Thursday to see who that person standing behind Chimney is.
