#anathema asks

[the-anathema-device]

Adam runs up to Anathema, skidding to a stop beside her.

"'Nathema! What happened?"

He stared at the frozen man in the circle, slowly taking a step towards it.

"..What."

@adam-n-dog

ADAM! Why are you here? What are you doing here? Where’s Newt?

Don’t touch him.

i think carpenter and hayward should have some kind of ghost hunting youtube channel but for unlicensed gods. they go around snarking at each other and arguing over what kind of god this is and how best to deal with it. hayward ALWAYS thinks its an old harvest god and they have NEVER once made a situation better

#I JUST THINK THIS WOULD FIT THEIR DYNAMIC REALLY WELL #the silt verses #tsv #paige is their long suffering manager #what about faulkner? you may ask #well if this is an au thats easy #he’s a former intern who left under sketchy circumstances and started his own much more succesful show #If it’s in universe then i think every sunday or whatever the traweler man equivalent is #He gets up there and gives his little sermon and makes some kinda bitchy comment about have you SEEN what #anathema carpenter was doing this week. (she’s so cool and i miss her) #and when someone asks him why he’s watching anathema carpenter’s youtube channel he’s like. um well. #is the trawelerman not also the god of streams. ALSO i have to keep tabs on this ENEMY of the FAITH and also um I GOTTA GO #thoughts

For a muppet version of Good Omens, who would you designate to be “the only ‘human’” in the cast?

i have thought about this long and hard, never fully settling on one individual. my answer also changes based on the season

season one: i think anathema would be hilarious judging random muppets, alternately newt would be fucking hilarious because he kind of is the embodiment of "am i a man or a muppet" (creds to my friends for that quote

season two: maybe nina? or mister brown if i had to pick a more minor character, just for the comedic effect of him getting scared off by muppet!crowley in the pub

the most essential part of all of this, though, is that never once did either aziraphale or crowley enter my brain as being candidates for this. aziraphale would just be the cutest muppet, and crowley is like. a walking cartoon character gifted with a sort-of human body anyway. theres no way he'd be a human in muppet!omens, neither would aziraphale

alternate bonus question asked of me by the same friend-

who would be the only muppet in an otherwise human cast? these answers were much faster as well

season 1: also newt, see above citation of his "am i a man or am i a muppet" energy, unrivaled in the series. the alternate for this could be shadwell. might be funny

season 2: the metatron. just think about it. its too funny. the alternate for this is jim/gabriel because he exudes extreme muppet energy

12. Pushing a strand of hair behind their ear

Door one is easy enough, slip your gloves off and into your pockets to pick the lock more easily. The second is— less so. Mostly because there isn’t actually a keyhole on the side of the door you’re on. Deadbolt on the other side, maybe.

“Your turn,” you say, making a little gesture for Themmy to go ahead, because while lockpicks are more subtle, acid’s useful in a pinch.

They grin at you, rubbing their hands together briefly. Yellow daffodils on their nails that are about to vanish rather abruptly. “Gonna make me do the hard work, huh?”

“I’d unscrew the damn thing if I could reach the hinges,” you say, little head tilt as you consider the doorframe. They laugh, pressing their hands against the seam between door and doorframe. The acrid sizzle of acid on metal.

You fuss with your lockpicks, tucking them back into their pocket against your ribs. Slim zipper hidden by teal piping.

“I’ve got my damn hair in my eyes again,” Anathema gripes, hands still planted on approximately where the hinges are. “I always forget to bring a spare hair tie.”

You’re quiet a moment, watching the metal sizzle and listening to them continue to grumble about it under their breath. Fidget with your pockets, circle of elastic ending up around your wrist. “Do you want help?” you ask, and their eyes flick over to you, half-obscured by red curls fallen into their face.

You pluck the elastic around your wrist in emphasis, and their eyes soften, smile curling the edges of what used to be an annoyed expression. Good. Their face is shaped for smiling, not scowling. You always felt like it suited them better.

“Sure, Arsenic. Ponytail me.” A little laugh, as they tilt their head towards you. “Doesn’t need to be a nice one.”

You smile back at them, not that they can tell through your mask. Quick slide of your hand to tuck hair behind one of their ears, temporary stopgap before you circle around to behind them.

Once you’re out of sight, they ask, “Are you carrying around hair ties for me?” It’s half-tease half-touched, like they already know the answer without you saying anything.

“They’re useful for other things,” you defend, and then, “You always forget.” Carefully pull their hair together at the nape of their neck, trying not to yank on it or tickle them.

Your nails catch on their hair, a little, chipped polish, but they don’t complain about it. Bundled together bright red curls, remnants of bright colored hair chalk clinging to the strands. Getting on your hands, too, but that’s alright. Loop the hair tie once, twice, a careful third time to hold it in place.

“Thanks,” Themmy says, when you’ve finished and pulled your hands away. You haven’t stepped away yet, so they bump you gently with their shoulder. Your mask is still down, so they can’t see it, but you’re still smiling at them.

You’re pretty sure they can tell anyway.

😬 for Destiny but also the best thing too

OK, I hope you don't mind. These are both headcanons I've posted before, but I still love them and will fight for their honour so.... 😅

The worst thing he's ever done...

The 'RULES' were made specifically to keep 'him' in check....And he just managed to cleverly deflect all of the blame onto Dream. Tricksy little blighter.

Dream looses his temper. Tends to go all Storm from Xmen on the local weather system. Can occasionally do something really frikkin stupid.. Like send his ex to hell.

Tantrum level: Eldritch Toddler

Destiny looses his temper... Wiped an entire city, population, buildings... Men, women, children.. Dust bunnies... OFF THE MAP. Permanently!

Tantrum level: Old Testament. God Level.

........

Dream: Desire has a child, as a back up plan... To f*ck up Dream's realm. And maybe, you know.. Kill him. Possibly... A little. Dream proceeds to posture aggressively at them.

Response to aggravating siblings: We are not amused.

Destiny: Directly defies his own mother's wishes and the destiny his book dictates (Aka absolute Destiny unholy of unholies) to pull Dream from a Black Hole. Just so he can get his sh*t off his backyard because it's messing up his zen.

Response to aggravating siblings: I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

.......

Dream: Has a passionate romance with a mortal... Her city gets destroyed by a random meteor. Asks her to be his queen, deals reeeaaaalllllyyyy badly with being told the word no.

Fallout: One city and one really unfortunate ex.

Destiny: Leaves his realm for five minutes to to tell (not ask) a mortal woman she's going to have his kid. Which leads to the creation of Pestilence, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse ... Oh, and the added bonus of the arrival of global pandemics. Cheers mate!

Fallout: Humanity as we know it.

(Destiny: A Chronicle of Deaths foretold)

.......

The Fates: Right that's it! We'll be seeing no more of these shinnanigans! We are implementing rules. And they WILL be followed!!

Destiny: (Tutting) Honestly little brother

Dream: Wait... Me!??

The Best thing he's ever done...

He's the patriarch of the Device family. Yes, I ship crack ship... ship him and Agnes Nutter 🙈😆

I mean, it's easy to assume Destiny has his own protégés, just like Dream. Famous seers and prophets (Aka anyone found in Aziraphale's prized collection.) And maybe he rather took to this Lancashire lass who gave back as good as she got. Maybe his book told him too... It was all part of the Ineffable Plan 🤷😆.

Agnes: I've been expecting you. Father of my daughter, Virtue.

Destiny: Checks his book... Shrugs.

And then the irony, the sheer irony that they would hand their decedents their own little mini book of destiny to live by. Just look at Anathema, is she not like a wee Destiny the younger? Sensible, straight forward, self sufficient.... Walking round constantly refering to her book to see how she's going to handle any given situation.

Anathema: We're going to sleep together

Newton: Are we?

Anathema: The books says so.

Newton: Fair enough.

Case... Point! 😆

yo! i dunno if you've made a post on this before, but i'd be interested to hear details about epione (+ any other tavs)! what's her story? what's she like?

Hey, yes, hi, hello! This is one of those questions that I crave to be asked constantly but also fear all who do will come to regret. I can not be normal about my kids. Especially Epi. She’s my little creature and I cry about her a lot. Thank you so much for asking, and I apologize for the wait!

I do plan on making a more in depth introduction post at some point, so if you like her that’s on the way.

Epione! Far more commonly known as Epi though.

She is a grown up urchin, still trying to find her place in the world. Life has been testing her from the day she was born. Started out in a orphanage that didn’t treat her kindly. Ran away when she was seven to the Lower City, where she promptly met what would become her Mol. Her and her bosom companion, Vestia, grew up alongside eachother in a pick pocket crew and when they hit their teens started a chaotic ride or die relationship. It ended in tragedy when Vestia’s ambition and selfishness found her doing jobs for the Zhentarim as Epi began trying to “go straight” and work her way to a normal life. Vestia agreed to make the attempt, but continued doing jobs behind Epi’s back. When she found out and tried to confront her, shit hit the fan at the wrong time. Flaming Fist made an appearance, and Epi took the fall for the job Vestia was running for the Zhent- spending the next 80 years in prison for it while Vestia climbed the ranks of the Zhentarim and ended up one of their top dogs by the time of the game.

Epi got out of prison about 6 months to a year before the game starts. She found a job as a carriage driver, and essentially plays the role of a chatty cab driver. I do not know for a fact if that is lore compliant due to the animal ban in BG, but we see carts around all parts of the city in the game and it’s an important headcanon for me that I’m too attached to so it stays. It’s one of the reasons she has 3 levels in bard. She has no training but she is a chronic story teller. She has a shitty apartment, few long term friends, and a burning desire to make something of herself that is more than what people see. Above all else, she is a survivor and a hard worker.

Oh and like. As a minor, only slightly important bit- she’s also a cambion. A long lost daughter of Mephistopholees to be exact. One of seven cambion children he had with divine soul sorcerers to aquire enough divine energy to usurp Azmodeus to be exact. Her older brother was sent to fetch her when she was born, and was pissed at his dad so conveniently misplaced her at the orphanage. They cropped her wings in a bit of anti-tiefling sentiment (tieflings can technically be born with wings too so nobody suspected she was a cambion from the start.) So Epi does not find out about her heritage until early Act 3 of BG3 because of Raphael. Yes, he found her alliance with Astarion incredibly humorous because neither knew they were the run away missing ingredient in a plot Mephistopholees was trying to pull. I want to note, this was a plot I came up with in 2020/2021 so finding out Astarion’s infernal pact info was INSANE playing it real time.

She will be getting her wings back courtesy of Raphael in Act 3, and it will be a bit of an ugly transition with a dash of identity crisis.

ALSO she’s supposed to be a lighter pink than shown in some screenshots. Her original colors were removed in the full release so sometimes she’s got a hot pink look to her when it’s really supposed to be a bit more pastel. She’s actually pretty insecure about being so pink, she feels like people don’t take her seriously because of it. It makes life difficult for Astarion when he wants to put her in nice clothes. She hates stuff that draw attention to her.

General info:

Age: 226

Class: 9 levels of wild magic sorcery (headcanoned to be infernal but unstable cause she’s got no training) and 3 of lore bard so CUTTING WORDS

Romance: slow burn rivals to lovers with Astarion

She has a mouse/rat companion named Todd that has had it’s lifespan unnaturally extended by her magic

Epione is technically a part of a custom party that has many more Tav’s in it which I will put much more briefly under the cut 💖

It says Brendan, but it’s a cover name. This is the human form of Jehvka, which is Epi’s older brother. He’s always kept an eye out for her where he could from a distance, and tries to infiltrate the Mindflayer ship to save her. Unfortunately he gets stuck in the same situation and has to play along. It’s nice for him though cause he actually gets to know her and befriend her, but it sucks cause he gets deeper and deeper into the lie about who he is. He’s a very witty devil may care type. Comes off like the big scary brooding guy, but does it intentionally to throw people off gaurd when he gives a big smile and hits them with a pun. Romances Gale. Winds him up by playing dumb during his info dumps and pretending he’s never heard of basic things like “the weave.”

Mizzyrm. She’s going to be the other half of Lae’zel’s evil cultish culture duo. Wizard from Menzoberazzan who channel’s her “evilness” in to extensive research. Which is so important she finds herself hardly leaving her lair, and thus is spared from having to attent soirée’s where no less than 3 murders will occur and everyone is mean to eachother. She is shaped by her culture, and definitely has a dark side because of it. Her research is primarily about how to magically hurt people faster. But she’s got a softness in her that makes her just kind of retreat from her peers when she can get away with it. Basically an evil introvert. When she get’s to the surface, it isn’t going to take her long to warm up to the idea that maybe there’s a different way to live. But she gravitates to Lae’zel because it’s familiar and a dynamic she understands. Also she thinks her mom would approve.

TYPHON. My head empty no thoughts but “do you think lifting this boulder over my head will impress the babes?” Dark Urge boy. He’s going to be the fun stabilizer of the group who encourages everyone to work together. Probably unironically makes people do group huddles and say “go team” before getting into battles. Invented the “bhaal-tap” locker room maneuver. Is sufficiently horrified by his dark urges, his mantra about it is “be cool, man just be cool.” He will likely get a little more serious on a narrative level, but he will not stray far from his Ken roots.

Anathema 2.0

Repressed Rich Virgin Syndrome has taken a devestating toll on her. She is the daughter of patriars who simply don’t have time to raise kids, so she was raised by a very religious nanny and then sent to a convent for a while. She’s only recently been brought home due to a politically advantageous betrothal. She doesn’t have much of an opinion about it because she doesn’t have a lot of opinions about anything. Other people tell her what to do and think. She’s insufferably naive and ignorant and rich. She’s going to turn red with embarrassment and mortification every time Karlach says fuck in her general viscinity, because she has literally never heard a swear word prior to meeting her. Yes, Karlach is going to teach her how to be her own person and be rebellious and think for herself. Yes they are going to elope. No it won’t be until after Gortash causes mayhem and drama.

BONUS PICTURE: VESTIA. My toxic queen. Stay awful, my love. She’s the kind of character that is there narratively to cause problems but you feel bad about it because you know she deserves growth and good things too, but her entire point is to be an example of what happens when you DON’T grow and just get worse. Astarion wants to see his reflection so bad, this is it. A warning sign not to ascend cause it will leave you lonely in the end.

(Other then each other) do you ship the BATTs with anyone, I’ve always seen them as having a sibling like dynamic

No cause I see the BATTs as like 18-21 and there aren't really any other young adult characters in the show besides maybe Steve

Although I don't actually ship them with each other myself.

#asks #i was originally gonna have katya and derwin be anathema and newt in my good omens au #but thats about it

[anathemaspeaks]

aoashi is a football anime! I think it got a little overshadowed by Blue Lock, but it's really good! I recommend it to you.

i'll give it a shot! gotta lock in for exam szn rn though, but once it's over - for sure :)

[arthurtaylorlester]

who is/are your comfort character(s)?

oooh don't get me started. so like, of course john and arthur from malevolent, because they are just so goddamn relatable and even just hearing them get divorced again brings a smile to my face ^_^

then there's like harley from find us alive, who's just !!!! sbajbfdhb i dont even know how to word it, it's like when you look at a character and just go yeah, that's my comfort (hasnt seen comfort in years and years)

outside of podcasts, good omens has consumed by life (again) so it has to be aziracrow but also anathema and newt, just polar opposites but morally similar duos yknow?

oh and then there's ty betteridge. he's there too. idek how he's comforting he just is lmao

What if Crowley got sick or something, but he still goes live, and everyone in his chat is trying to figure out why he's acting weird. Maybe Anathema is yelling at him to get off and rest, and she calls Aziraphale to go in and get him. All anyone can see is Crowley talking to someone out of frame and a manicured hand pressed against his forehead before the stream ends.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
