#alternates got miscategorised in early history because a lot of their 'true forms' seemed somewhat angelic to humans that saw them

I'm curious (because I'm kind of a bible nerd), since the bible talks about human-angel hybrids/nephelim, would that be something that's possible in htb, or just something that humans would have thought up, y'know, for funsies?

Things like nephelim, cherubim, and seraphim, etc. are actually all just alternative names for alternates. Humans don't know that what they thought were angelic creatures are actually eldritch abominations though lmao

#hail true body au #mustang answers! #htb alternates #alternates got miscategorised in early history because a lot of their 'true forms' seemed somewhat angelic to humans that saw them #the many eyes #blazing interlocking rings #terrifying voices etc #i've mentioned before that in htb au God based his designs for angels on alternates as they were the only other thing in existence- #to use as a reference point when creating subserviant beings for himself
