#oops! heresy!

[anonymousbathtub]

Introducing Petr, the protagonist of my Divine Decay uni project - he’s a young, recently chosen Vessel of the Voice on his first crusade up to the surface world! Unfortunately something goes... wrong, during the battle, and he’s left stranded in the wilderness, hundreds of miles from his mycellium network, and with only a human for company.

(Boy, I sure hope he doesn’t discover any divine heresies while exploring ruins on the way back that will fundamentally alter his worldview!)

#he is just.....a silly little guy #concept art #character design #cleric #fantasy #mushroom people #divine decay #petr #vessel of the voice #divine heresy speedrun version: the mushroom pope was a human scientist who was so gay for the voice she heard through mycellium network #readings one day that she created a super mushroom zombie plague #destroyed most of the world #and now actively wants to build a skyshield to block out the sun so that everything dies and all the mushroom people cannabalise each other #in divine sacrament #(the mushroom voice actually isnt that impressed so they've picked this kid instead. oops!)

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

I love the idea that Nobby likes James; even sorta respects him! What about Nobby and Gordon? I bet Nobby isnt so impressed by bossy big blue babey Gord

Oop, started to respond and then saved this to drafts. And then I forgot about it. Sorry.

I didn't want to answer at once, though, because when I received this we were only about two-thirds of the way through Springtime, and I thought it would be better to talk about this after the story was over.

Because now you've had a chance to see Nobby bossing someone else around mercilessly — and then, on a dime, going into utter, catastrophizing meltdown the minute he himself suffers a mild indignity.

So I hope it makes sense when I say that Nobby and Gordon have some similarities!

Another is that Nobby actually was, in his youngest years, a similar sort of all-important savior-of-the-railway company flagship. His domain was much smaller than Gordon's, of course, but he had the same absolute primacy and pride. And much like the youngest Gordon it's really not that Nobby was a bad sort, but a fellow engine trying to make him see sense when he was on his high horse was just a fool's errand. (Nobby was a lot more respectful of human authority in those early years... which you may consider to make the situation better or worse, lol. He definitely had—and still has!—more of a temper than Gordon, though, and can be way pettier. The counterbalance is that he has higher ideals and a better ability to relate to other engines.)

A final thing they have in common is that they conceive of and hatch rather daring ideas. Leadership qualities run strong in them both.

Of course, none of this means that Nobby will recognize these similarities. Or that they will in any way dispose him to think kindly of the infant galloping sausage.

Hmm, I reserve the right for this to change as I write, but in general I just think Nobby doesn't at first take much notice of Gordon particularly (heresy, I know!). In the same era Gordon is arriving, so are several absurdly large new Sodor engines and to him they are all ill-mannered whelps.

He doesn't get as steamed up about any of them as much you might think, though, because they are fundamentally Not His Problem. His railway is undergoing Grouping at the time — he has bigger fish to fry. Anyway, if any of his lot were a fourth as rude as the Big Blue Bastards, he'd tear them to shreds, but that's because he knows they were taught better and he expects more from them. Nobby kind of regards Gordon in the at first as a sort of orphan. Not in the sense he pities him but that he kind of half despises him as a poorly brought-up urchin and half thinks it's a shame that no one did better by him.

Nobby has definitely at times told Edward, when Edward has the dubious fortune of bringing a train over the bridge, that he must really tell that Gresley to do this or not do that or to act in such-a-such way.

At which point you can imagine Edward just staring at him with weary disbelief. Nobby, you don't tell Gordon things... it's a waste of good steam.

Nobby thinks this is making excuses, lol. To his mind it's entirely Edward's responsibility to Coppernob all those lost boys into respectable engines. Put your frames into it, son.

#this is an early impression #i have another idea for nobby's take on gordon but... let's see how it works out when i try to tackle it in fic form #chatter #coppernob things #ttte gordon #queue some hard work for a change #actually the absolute shambles everyone must have dissolved into #watching these 90+ ton 12-wheeled engines roaring towards the bridge #... THERE WAS A WEIGHT RESTRICTION ON THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CUMBRIAN COAST LINE UNTIL A BRIDGE WAS STRENGTHENED IN 1930 #GORDON COULDN'T HAVE FUCKEN WORKED THE FURNESS MAIN LINE #🤔 constructing a sodor line on wartime budget and materials that could bear Gordonian hammerblow may have been thomas #the tank engine's greatest achievement #... wondering now how circuitous gordon's route from doncaster to vicarstown WAS

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

considering all ive read of your heretical metas, i honestly think it makes sense you dont like percy jackson that much. for people who dont know anything about greek mythology (i.e. kids and teens which the book is aimed at) (oops i only read it at 21... but i also did not know shit abt greek mythology) its a fun starting point. its. its like harry potter but if harry potter was based on your metas. start with that and then read the metas later and go Wow! What

Pffft, that is certainly a way to put it.

I suppose that could be a part of it but mostly, I think it's what I've said previously, I was at the wrong age when I read it (I needed to be a few years younger) and it was just... boring to me.

I'm sorry, it was just boring, that the only way I can describe it. Being a little more genuine to the source material would make it less boring but not being genuine to the source material wasn't a damning factor in and of itself.

(Though now I imagine the universe where Harry Potter really is just the toned-down child friendly version of a true source material of pure heresy and...

We still get Harry strangling Mundungus, makes you wonder about the spice level of this Plato's Cave version of Harry Potter.)

As promised!! My recommendations for Warhammer 40k reading

So, rayshell22live asked me what I thought GW was doing wrong vis a vis Warhammer 40k, and I responded with a rant about Black Library instead.

Oops. (Listen, a lot of this is pent up...)

But! I promised (myself) I would list my favorite stuff I've read from Warhammer 40k. For ease of access, I have divided it into several categories.

XENOS

There are not enough stories about Xenos. And apparently a lot of them aren't good. But here are a couple I read and liked!

The Infinite and the Divine by Robert Rath: Everyone recommends this, and for good reason. Fun, sometimes lighthearted, sometimes deep, it's the story of two old robots who hate each other but are forced to work together. It's a tale of two opposing forces, the past and the future, and what they both could mean for the present of the Necron race. Come for the dinosaurs and enemies-to-friends, stay for the old man fights and pranks gone horribly wrong.

War in the Museum by Robert Rath: Basically a deleted scene from The Infinite and the Divine. A short story.

Brutal Kunnin' by Mike Brooks: Orks vs. Tech Priests. Turned out to have way more humans than I would have liked, but still fun! Includes some hell-yeah moments and very quotable lines AND includes TWO non-binary characters! Very nice. Introduces two heroes for the ages: Ufthak Blackhawk, and his squig. The best squig.

Road Rage and Where Dere's Da Warp Dere's a Way by Mike Brooks: More Ufthak shenanigans! Both short stories.

Da Gobbo's Revenge by Mike Brooks: A Grot, tired of being abused by Orks, takes up the role of the ancient Grot hero Da Red Gobbo and begins a revolution. A novella, not long but fun.

The Hand of Darkness by Gav Thorpe: A lovely audio drama about Yvraine, the last hope of the Aeldari, on a mad quest to deprive Chaos of a dangerous asset. (Or, when I want to pretend to be bitter, "Rob's Not Actually Girlfriend (Seriously, She's Just An Ally) Breaks Into Mort's Basement and Ruins the Only Piece of Art He's Ever Made" It is a fantastically emo piece of art, I can't believe I've never referenced it in a fanfic before.) It's a good audio drama, I like it!

The Child Foretold by Nicholas Kaufmann: This one. This one is so. So freaking. GOOD. I just. It's so good??? A man adopts a baby. He has no idea what he's gotten himself into. Warning, it's also from Warhammer Horror.

And, recommended by friends, though I haven't read them yet:

The Twice-Dead King by Nate Crowley: A series of novels about a Necron phaeron trying to save his dynasty. Supposed to be really good, if less humorous than The Infinite and the Divine.

Day of Ascension by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Supposed to be a really good sci-fi novel all around, it tells the tale of a genestealer uprising.

THE CIAPHAS CAIN SERIES by Sandy Mitchell

Listen, you're either going to love this series, or you're going to hate it. Most people can get over the stylistic choices (seriously, there are a lot of phrases that are repeated over and over and over and over and over again by the author), but others find those phrases grating after a while. Give the series a try (personally I think the series gets really good with the second and third books) and decide for yourself. If you like it, you're in good company, and if you don't, that's okay, you're still in good company. Personal highlights for me include The Traitor's Hand, Death or Glory, Cain's Last Stand, the audio drama Dead in the Water, and the novella Good Soldiers Never Die.

BOOKS THAT MENTION MORTARION

There is probably at least one person out there who wants to know what books I recommend for the way I write him. So I included this in its own section.

The Buried Dagger by James Swallow: my first Horus Heresy novel, and the last one before the Siege. Aka "Oh Fuck, We Forgot to Give Mortarion an Actual Personality and Now He Needs to Do Some Emotional Heavy Lifting." And let me just say, Swallow knocks it out the fucking park on this one. I cried. Then I found out he's not written like this in almost ANY other story, even ones by James Swallow, and I cried even more. Do yourself a favor, pick up the audio book, because the way Jonathon Keebler says "I know" in Interval Two is heartbreaking.

"Lantern's Light" by James Swallow: A lot of BL books have what I like to call a "companion short story" that goes with it. This is the one for Mortarion's half of The Buried Dagger. It elaborates Mort's relationship with the Emperor and why it's so bad (hint: it has nothing to do with the Emperor killing his adopted dad).

Unification by Chris Wraight: One of Mortarion's sons reflects on why he follows Mortarion into battle. A companion short story to The Lords of Silence (see below).

Mortarion Pale King of Barbarus and Verdict of the Scythe by David Annandale: While I wish they had gone more in-depth with his character, they both provide us with some intriguing details into how Mortarion wages war in the Great Crusade, and why he does it in the way he does. As well as what his brothers think of him, and how that weighs on him and his actions (a lot more than he's willing to admit).

The above are really good for Mortarion as his own character, and the tragic protagonist of his own story.

Scars, the Path of Heaven, and Warhawk by Chris Wraight: Whereas these stories are good at depicting Mortarion as his own villainous character. Most stories twist and turn Mortarion's personality to depict him as the Jungian shadow of whatever character is the protagonist of this series. Not so the Jaghatai Khan trilogy. Here he is still (mostly) recognizable as the same character as the Buried Dagger's Mortarion, but now he's a villain. Kind of. He's not the main villain of the first two books, but he kind of is for the third one? He doesn't show up often, but it's interesting when he does.

Daemonology by Chris Wraight: There's only one paragraph from his perspective, and it's the last paragraph of the story. Regardless, it provides us with a rare look at how people weaker than Mortarion who aren't on his good side see him. And it shows us that, like the witches and sorcerers he hates, Mortarion has more brains than sense.

Honorable mentions:

Grandfather's Gift by Guy Haley, because Mortarion enjoys a garden in it and it mentions how much pain Mortarion's transformation is (also, he's mostly naked for most of it, make of that what you will). Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow has one or two good scenes with Mortarion, but he's barely in it.

HORUS HERESY AND PRIMARCHS

Saturnine by Dan Abnett: Some people hated it, some people loved it, personally I'm in the Loved It camp? It had some memorable moments and some interesting battles! On the other hand, if you're a Fulgrim fan, skip it, it does him no favors. If you're a Perturabo fan, give it a try! He gets some great Only Sane Man moments (and a shirtless scene. That's not important, but it's there.)

Magnus the Red Master of Prospero by Graham McNeill: It's a Magnus book, but it's a fuckin' banger for Perturabo. Good stuff. Petition to have McNeill write all the Perturabo stuff? Just...not the War of Rust, please.

Lorgar Bearer of the Word by Gav Thorpe: Holy shit, did Lorgar not have a happy childhood. Depicts him very sympathetically!

Fulgrim the Palatine Phoenix by Josh Reynolds and Ferrus Manus Gorgon of Medusa by David Guymer: Both of these go on the list for having scenes that live rent-free in my head, most of them involving either Fulgrim or one of Fulgrim's sons. Josh Reynolds is a really good writer in general, though I think he might be the one who doesn't write for GW/BL anymore.

A Lesson in Darkness by Ian St. Martin: Creepy, serial killer fun starring Konrad Curze doing creepy, fucked-up Night Haunter shit. An Audio Drama.

Angron Slave of Nuceria by Ian St. Martin: a grim look at Angron's backstory, and how the suffering he experienced in his past doomed his entire legion. There's a companion short story called "Ghosts of Nuceria," but I'm saving that one for when I really, really need to cry as if the world is ending, so I haven't read it yet. I've read part of it already and man. Man.

OTHERS FROM 40K

The Lords of Silence by Chris Wraight: Generally agreed to be one of the best Chaos Space Marine novels, it follows the story of a warband of Death Guard, the titular Lords of Silence, as they wage war and have existential crises. Introspective and philosophical at times, and always careful to make everyone a well-rounded character, has mystery elements. The story is told out of order and in the present tense, so if those are dealbreakers for you, you'll have to sit them out. also includes a great scene with Mortarion okay thanks bye

The Way Out by Rachel Harrison: part of the Black Library's Warhammer Horror line, it's an audio drama that will keep you guessing until the end. Spooky and creepy and mysterious.

A couple more honorable mentions to round things out. The following all have scenes that live rent-free in my mind, all are either short stories or novels from Warhammer Horror, all take place in 40k:

The Deacon of Wounds by David Annandale; The Bookkeeper's Skull by Justin D. Hill; Imperator Gladio by Richard Strachan.

AND A FEW FROM AGE OF SIGMAR Not very many, though, because I haven't read very many...

Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden by Josh Reynolds: the only AoS novel I've ever read. Loved it. If Torgun dies, I'll fucking riot. Part of a series that may have been stopped, sadly.

The Vintage by David Annandale: a Warhammer Horror short story I hated the first time, loved the second time. Got a really killer premise, pun not intended. From that one year where Games Workshop decided that all of the Warhammer Horror Week stories would be about vampires.

Anyway, some of the stuff I enjoyed.

twst boys lil sis/lover doing WAP

context: watched a cute vid and decided to make some headcanons based off it for twst

you're either a younger sister or lover and you start doing the WAP on camera in front of them

featuring Silver, Deuce, Sebek, Idia, Malleus, Lilia

Silver, sister

he’s half asleep when you start the music

so when you begin dancing he does a double take

if there's a blanket within reach he’ll throw it over u and drags ya outside the camera’s line of vision, saying no repeatedly but he’s laughing

sometimes he’ll pick u up, treating ya like a stack of potatoes and spins you right round baby right around like a record baby “scolding” ya for doing something so revolting

straight up rolls on you if possible

“get off, you’re heavyyyy!” “can’t hear you music’s too loud.” every time he hears it he’s scanning the area to see if ur around

can be persuaded into learning

Sebek, sister

knows it thanks to ace

screams for you to stop then pins you to the floor

he’s extremely overprotective cuz he loves u okay

every time he’s either pinning or chasing you shouting he wants to “talk”

“GET BACK HERE I JUST WANNA TALK.” “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE” 

you're laughing the whole time tho

will straight up tackle you if he knows you can handle it

Deuce, lover

takes a minute for it to sink in what’s going on

then he’s grabbing your legs/arms and dragging you around like silver his face is so red

blushes every time no questions

will cage you in his arms w/ a tight hug tickling your sides

also gives a chase

can also be persuaded but will take awhile

Idia, lover

on the internet 24/7 ofc he knows what it is

scrambles to turn off your phone and stop u at the same time

knocks you and the phone over so mission successful ig lol gg

face is on fire (pun intended)

his hair is smoking up the room oops

do it in a cosplay of his wifu he’ll die happy make sure ya got a fire extinguisher

eventually gets used to it and just starts throwing stuff at you or your phone (gets weridly good at it)

~bonus~

ortho walks in one time and suddenly you're doing yoga while idia throws the closest object in reach to shut up the phone

“never again” is the silent agreement which passes between y’all

Bouns, Diasomnia lil sister

all of you are gathered together when you strike

so naturally

chaos erupts

silver’s eyes slap open and he’s yeeting himself at you faster than the speed of light

sebek makes a beeline for your phone to turn off the heresy

you're running from silver like your life depends on it

malleus is confused

so confused

like y’all get him between you and he’s just looking back n’ forth as you run around him like

nani???

lilia is cackling overhead there’s tears in his eyes

then you offer to teach malmal the dance

sebek is screeching

silver looks like he wants to commit arson

lilia fell from the ceiling crying he can’t breathe someone help him

#twst #twisted wonderland #twst x reader #twst headcanons #twst crack #nya's writing #sebek zigvolt #twst silver #twst hcs #deuce spade x reader #deuce spade #idia shroud x reader #idia x reader #deuce x reader #ortho shroud #lilia vanrouge #malleus draconia #idia shroud #platonic twst x reader #romantic twst

[hrokkall]

Idea: the layers are the regions of these iterators, V II's regions would be based on greed, wrath, Fraud, and heresy, V I's would be based on Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Violence, and Treachery?

This is a super cool concept, but this is also where my lack of Rain World knowledge is going to start to show a little bit. I'm aware that iterators are giant superstructures, but I was under the impression that they didn't make up the whole of the environment of Rain World. As such, I don't think these layers would be contained entirely within the two iterators (if that's not what you were implying… oops. Ignore this prelude in that case.)

Having said that, if I were to assign each a single layer within (even if the inner-structures of iterators aren't made up of a single cohesive aesthetic like Ultrakill's layers are), I'd say VII's would be most similar to Limbo and VI's would be Violence/the Mouth Of Hell. (As in, VII's superstructure is full of artifacts from the ancients—similar to canon V2 they see themself as being sort of the last remnants of that past society, a role they're hesitant to give up… and then VI's superstructure is bloody and full of industrial structures and doors that lock and inconvenient 0G segments and is generally just a nightmare to traverse through to the point where most wildlife that goes in there are incredibly brave, incredibly lost, or incredibly stupid.)

I'm in full support of the regions mirroring the in-game layers though. Sisyphus's spawn area would resemble Greed (which would be closer to VII) whereas Minos's would resemble Lust (closer to VI). I'd imagine they meet up somewhere in either the Gluttony or Heresy-equivalent regions and stick together from there. It's unclear how they met in Ultrakill canon so I can't make a 1:1 Rain World equivalent… maybe they both fought off the same lizard together.

#Re: Inbox #Re: Anon #RW UTKL #Regret to inform the masses that I have only played about 1.5 hours of RW I just really enjoy the aesthetic #I intend to play more but I'm up to my neck in UTKL fixation. You know how it is. #Earlier someone asked ''what kind of hell region has vultures miros birds AND rain deer'' to which I answer: I picked creatures that would- #-have the coolest skeletons. And also creatures that aren’t invertebrates.

leans in cutely hiii so who are YOUR favorite ocs

Omgomgomg!!!

Okay, so I have essentially sets of OCs.

Lily's group is my multiversal roleplay set (who I accidentally introjected oops. More below:

Lily: The main character. In my fantasy world, she is to become the newest deity in the third generation of deities, successor to the child goddess Lia of hope. She is exceptional in many ways - her skill with linguistics and ambassadorship are unparalleled - but in a world of elves and half-demons and half-angels (haphires) and dwarves and other, stranger things, she is also extraordinary in how ordinary she is. In my sci-fi universe, she is a xenolinguistics and interspecial culture expert, and is the head communications officer aboard her starship. Probably bi lol.

Robin: Lily's brother, a magitech/ship's computer and warp core engineering savant. He always plays a supporting role to her, a Watson to her Sherlock. He is extremely gay, especially for my friend's character Garrick. Possibly transmasc as well.

Both of them are redheads. Lily has brown eyes and Robin, grey eyes. Robin is strong with a square jaw and Lily has a slight build.

Kai: A deep woods elf/Arciturian. In the fantasy world, she is a huntress, in sci-fi, a lieutenant and weapons officer (both ship and personal), as well as a kidnapped ex-princess who fought her way through illegal tournaments to win her freedom and Kalidasa's (below). In both, she is searching for her missing sister Aya (a rather tragic character in that she serves only to motivate Kai). sexuality: most likely ace, possibly aro. May or may not be transfem.

(Deep woods elves often have features such as antlers or branches growing from their heads, and pale green skin. They live in isolated tribes and walk the Deep Ways, keeping the balance with populations of Dire Wolves, Shadowlings, Wealdlords, and other more dangerous things. Arciturians are a race of tall, blue-skinned humanoids that live on a living planet thrumming with electricity. They can feel the electricity come up through their sensitive feet, and it flushes in orange lines across their skin and their flagtips (ends of their fiber-optic hair). The pulse of electricity can be consciously controlled and also responds to their emotions.)

Kalidasa Standish (Standish to everyone but Kai). A sun elf/Solunian, Standish was rescued and taken in by Kai (in fantasy, after being banished after his mother was executed in his stead for heresy by the highly religious rulers of the sun elven city). He is dedicated to her but hopes to one day avenge his mother/break down the illegal fighting rings.

Sun elves have dark skin and piercing golden eyes, with long, smooth white hair. Solunians have two distinct looks, with Standish falling into that which mirrors the sun elven appearance.

Kalyn: A pixie-sprite/lillifallian, Kalyn is actually a multi-dimensional entity that takes the form most useful in each world to ensure the story is told the right way. As a pixie-sprite, she is older than the elder gods and has strange yet unpredictable powers, but is also tiny and quirky and a little strange herself. As a lillifallian, she is a doctor, using her tiny cilians that can expand from her hooves (she is quadruped) and her "zoomable" senses to treat her patients.

I just copypasted her backstory lol

Caught between two warlike spacefaring nations, her planet became a battleground and her people, who were peaceful and gentle, were forced to fight, often as pawns against one another. One of these nations telekinetically controlled her, so she saw her tribe murdered at her own hand. The other nation tricked her love telepathically into fighting her, so that she was severely injured and left to die by him. She was found and taken in by a Senate vessel, the lieutenant of which adopted her and relocated her to Earth, where she eventually joined the academy to become a doctor. She still has nightmares of her tribe bleeding, her planet broken, barren, and burning.

Perpetua (Peppi) and Amar: A brother-sister duo that I haven't expanded much on yet, that are innately connected to this group but have primarily been used in other worlds.

Jessie: Similar to above.

Lune's group was specifically created to roleplay on world of x sites, such as world of metahumans and world of (shitty wizard series, prior to... all that). It's unclear if I've introjected all of them, but Lune and Mars for sure. I'd have to dig up their backstories though.

There's Victoria's group from my first ever finished nano, also at least partially introjected, more below lol:

They are all mutants created by the US government while it attempted to genetically manipulate embryos to become supersoldiers. They have escaped and are fighting for their humanity to be recognized. Most of their powers have a built in failsafe not present in later generations.

Victoria: Vampire-like, she grows weaker in intense sun. She has fangs, long sharp fingernails like steel, and is faster and stronger than average. She has mental illness lol

Sam: Victoria's love interest - fights stronger the worse he is injured.

Willow: Victoria's sister, which they only learn later. Has angel wings, can fly, and has hollow bones.

Ana: Sam's younger sister. Has healing powers. She must injure one living thing to heal another.

Taylor: Can transform into anything he's touched, even nonliving things.

Bridget: Can use her senses at great distance (like seeing inside places) but ALL other senses including that sense in her location are disabled.

Thorn: can use telekinesis but is paralyzed while doing so.

Natalia and Eurydice: Twins telepathically linked. When one dies, the other essentially loses the use of half her brain and is disabled by it, though regains some function over time.

Brandon: Can turn invisible, is also extremely shy.

Lana: One of the second generation of mutants. Shapechanger, gains the mutant abilities of those she shifts into. Doesn't need to touch to change.

Kandi: 2nd gen telekinetic

Hero: 2nd gen, powers of "conviction/persuasion". Doesn't work on mutants, for some reason.

Them there's my MLP nextgens and Undertale skeles which I'm happy to talk more about but they are MANY lol.

There's also plenty more from other wips but those are the mostest ones, y'know? xD

Anyway sorry I went a little crazy, it's been so long since I've been able to talk about my OCs lol. It also can be a bit complicated introjecting them so easily lol, but we've made it work.

I thought of a crazy 40k theory, you ready? I'm not, but let's go!

So the Emperor made 20 space marine legions, each with its own primarch*, right? But because vague and ambiguous reasons 2 legions and their corresponding primarchs are seemingly gone by the time of the Horus Heresy, these two often being referred to as the Forgotten and the Purged and to some degree even had the memory of them forcibly forgotten. Got that? Great now let's keep moving.

So many of you may have noticed that what I said implies there are 18 known primarchs, but actually there are 19. You see the 20th legion(the Alpha legion) openly was primarched by Alpharius, but in the background was his twin** Omegon. Fun fact that will come back later, Alpharius and Omegon actually share a single soul(neat, huh?).

Now the primarchs while still in their gestation pods were stolen from the Emperor and thrown all over the galaxy through the Warp(aka the Sea of Souls) where physics/metaphysics can get a little wonky and part of the great crusade was just the Emperor going out and collecting his lost kids/weapons/it's complicated to know. And from stuff we hear in later points in the timeline, characters indicate that despite the two missing primarchs being basically expunged from all records and forbidden to be spoken of, all 20 had at one point or another been found***

Now what I'm proposing is that their truly were Only 20 primarchs. Let me explain my thoughts, so the Emperor makes 20 primarchs, each with a soul of their own that are then snatched into the Warp. While in the Warp one primarch accidentally loses their soul to another and ends up sharing a soul with a different one. Time passes and because Warp soul nonsense the primarchs sharing a soul grow up looking similar, infact practically identical. More time passes and the Emperor reunites with his sons who he reunites with their legions. As time passes the primarchs who have soul nonsense going on cause their legions to alter to fit this fact with the twin primarchs' legions eventually being indistinguishable from each other as well as so intertwined it's virtually impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. Meanwhile while we don't have many examples of beings with multiple souls(especially psyker souls), the few we have/are rumored to have tend to be exceptionally powerful, Big E himself being a prime example****, all it would take is a moment of hubris and there would be reason to purge him, and given how powerful the Emperor's genetics are, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to purge his whole legion, just to be safe. Of course, given such an embarrassing failure of a primarch and to prevent future rebellions(oops), the Emperor wipes all traces of the double souled primarch from record or memory but due to the alpha twins psykic powers, Omegon and his legion accidentally got forgotten from memory and record too.

Now do i think this theory is true? Of course not, I called it a crazy theory for a reason, plus even GW should know to never have anything about the Forgotten and Purged ever Actually be true. But still a fun idea to think about isn't it?

*yes I know, I'll get to it

**wait, wouldn't all the primarchs arguably be twins? Well Alpharius' identical twin

*** I didn't miss type, 1. Omegon is secret and basically unknown to basically every one, and 2. The Theory

****supposing the shaman origin is true

🍓 for Aelius and 🍓 for Arianwen please!

oop sorry this is late ! i've only just seen this.

for aelius: when i picked the prophet class, i thought it would be fun irony if he was put to death on accusations of heresy. as i've not finished elden ring & as such am still shaky on the lore, i'm not sure what prompted the accusations, but it probably had something to do with the erdtree. he was known for being kind, gentle and just in life, but he came back so very wrong, his obsession with justice (this time for himself) becoming corrupted and twisted until his definition of justice was just an excuse for revenge.

for arianwen: an extremely committed storyteller & spinner, arianwen was rewarded by the namespinners for her dedication to upholding the green pact by having antlers bestowed upon her ! she's unique among spinners as she travels the realm in search of histories to share in a neverending hunt for all she can find about her people's history and culture. she claims, however, that she is no different from other spinners & moves nowhere of her own volition; she considers every move she makes, every place she visits, to have been predetermined by her fate, and therefore not of her own will.

send me 🍓 + an oc for a misc fact about them | characters

[unproduciblesmackdown]

i have gone on and on about the devil here in what i suppose is a tl;dr of “i love drama, i love Akd Lucifer I Love You b/c [akd] and i do already think lucifer the devil is fun as a neutrally to sympathetically regarded dynamic being, i.e. being a lens for Whatever re: the human experience”

naturally i love things wherein the devil is like, a whole character through which the human experience is questioned, b/c for me being raised catholic now nonreligious it’s like well i sure know a good amount of Lore and then it’s really fun to explore that secularly / or at least wherein you’re not worried about blaspheming or heresy or anything when it’s like whoops, the thoroughly christian approach of “questioning your own faith / religion / god Is A Sin or at the very least like, the devil has a foot in the door, like when you respect other religions too much” type deal and can get exegetical & flexible. like what does any given religion mean for The Human Experience On Earth, in how people understand it & how their interaction / relationship with their own spiritual practices/beliefs affects their interaction / relationship with the world. which is Something when again another very christian thing can be like, oh this earthly realm doesn’t matter beyond whether you, individually, manage to spend your Eternal Life in heaven or hell, want the protestant work ethic where conveniently for some, you’d better reject any desire for earthly indulgences & instead righteously labor & endure material suffering? hope there’s nothing bad that can come out of cultivating any us vs them insular perspective where also questioning authority is wrong & dangerous & also things can only Really get good when we die / the world ends. & evangelism as a vehicle for religious war / paternalistic power structures. and who is questioning an authority like the devil is lol

anyways and naturally that Thee devil (christianity edition) doesn’t really crop up much definitively until suddenly a bunch of new testament mentions, and old testament stuff is like, is this even necessarily the same entity, there’s a serpent, there’s book of revelations dragons & whatever else is going on in there, there can be satans who are A satan vs Thee satan, it’s just like [not much definitive Hell lore] too of course & that you’ve got sheol, gehenna, hades, tartarus....and that there even being Fallen Angels isn’t definitively textual anywhere in the old testament, & there’s more like, there can be a satan who’s an angel who leaves heaven, tries to get humanity to sin, but is still of heaven / returns there when souls show up like oh you see, you sinned, you should be judged accordingly, & is there to serve as like, executioner for god. an adjudicator. but anyways that this is just that angel’s heavenly role, a la when there’s antics like satan being like “hey god i bet job wouldn’t worship you or whatever if he weren’t so blessed” and god being like “lol alright well let’s see then” like well, that’s just The job, sorry job. where it’s then really Something with like modern ideas of thee devil as Evil & God’s Enemy, yet still essentially having this role of [serving heaven & just being the hangman righteously punishing sinners] like, how’s that make sense lmfao, that’s not really in opposition to god for the evil devil who loves it when you sin to go hey i’m really disgusted & disappointed that you sinned & now i’m here to actively punish you for it. like Oh Kay but what a weirdo lmfao. basically still just doing a job there / how does that Necessarily oppose god

and then speaking of the fallen angels book of watchers lore it’s like. well there yeah it’s about nephilim like hey you watched too hard and were like humans are great and i love them and oops i’m having angelic sex with them, and that’s where you fall. just doing the job....yet for the idea of the devil being an Especial fallen angel has some different lore from various strains of ideas, lucifer coming into the mix, One Passage in i think ezekiel about a finely adorned cherub who was there in eden who was perfect upon creation until unrighteousness was found in them or whatever, again Extrapolated to be like okay so this one fallen angel / conflated with other mentioned figures, say, A Serpent....and then it’s like, all various interpretations about who this figure might be / what the whole deal is. like the eventual positing like oh lucifer’s problem? had to have been Too Much Pride, goething before a fall(tm). and then frankly it’s a lot of ideas like okay but who what where when why how did Pride become Falling. and there’s like, well, lucifer wanted to be better than god, or equal to god, or supplant god? lucifer knew that angels were supposed to serve humans, once humans were created, despite their inferiority to angels? lucifer knew that god would become human and because of that specific situation, angels would have to recognize that human as superior to themselves / their god, and was like, Hell no? the last one is so Especially wild b/c it’s like hello, the incarnation of jesus had to happen to cancel out humanity’s original sin which apparently happens because of the devil’s temptation, who has already fallen before the creation of the universe. what kind of closed loop? if lucifer had Foreknowledge of jesus’s existence then could lucifer Not rebel if that rebellion is simply already A Truth / essentially an inescapable fate? and here it’s like this is just like judas, apparently humanity Had to betray jesus to be saved, someone had to be the fall(tm) guy whether they were in on it or not? not to mention everyone else who might be implicated in the events. and even re: jesus, like, is this predestined, is there free will there? like how a person with no original or derivative (lol) sins had to be jesus’s mom but also got to agree to that. would being like “eh, i’d rather not” have been a sin. the idea that sin is an effect of an abuse / misuse / corruption of one’s free will, what’s all this mean, what’s it mean when there’s divine scripts that Must &/or Will play out and some people Must &/or Will sin accordingly

and of course having to decide “btw. what Is evil itself” before The Problem Of Evil re: having an omnipotent omniscient benevolent god, the idea that evil must’ve been created by god / god had/has some active role/responsibility in the existence of evil, the idea of “no to all of that,” the idea that evil is itself a necessary evil b/c it builds humanity’s character, or b/c it’s simply a byproduct of free will, or of creation itself, though it was not directly created & is rather an Absence of good like darkness as the absence of light, but not itself substantial / existing in its own right outside that context. and re: the devil that it’s like oh we can simply decide that the one thing definitely going on there is Separation from god, which may itself be what we consider Evil to be, or what have you. but you know, if even there is a thee devil as an entity who chose to separate themself from god without external temptation (which would suggest that evil exists without the devil as the originator, as is also an idea out there, vs a more manichean or zoroastrian model of light vs dark / creation vs destruction, although naturally i think it’s obvious that those ideas are associated with god vs the devil currently, as certainly is Good vs Evil, vs more simply god vs separation from / absence of god) it’s like. okay i lost my train of thought during that parenthetical aside lmfao but it’s like, is there necessarily malice required in that, or any drive for Evil / destruction, rather than something more neutral. it’s right there in the “hey, you can’t try to be as good as god or better than god or Above obeying god’s commands or whatever” that lucifer thee devil satan isn’t god, does that then suggest inherently being not of god, is that the idea of evil as an inherent byproduct of the creation of beings who are not god, is lucifer doing anything but existing as god’s creation through having pride (where’d that come from? just from being higher up on a hierarchy? what’s the hierarchy for, god? why’s one angel particularly prideful) or through rejection of an existence in complete harmony / unity with god (well i think literal Unity would technically be reserved for persons in the trinity lol. except the idea that jesus was separated from god during the crucifixion b/c Sin is Separation from God and jesus had to take on humanity’s sin for the whole thing to work) or rejection of some idea of what angels Have to do. which are all things that are byproducts of lucifer being a created being, where one can’t exercise free will to choose to have been created, but now here you are, not fully of god, which is a fact that maybe has inherent evil, and/or the idea that somehow evil was introduced into the heavenly situation Spontaneously. what was to be done lol. if one was created and then the creator was like “hope you’re ready to serve some humans” and one was like “what? to Hell with that” and then that necessarily results in choosing total separation from god, what’s going on there? what of the idea lucifer the devil was choosing Independence from god. or otherwise seeking some form of autonomy in either straightforward separation / deviation from god’s will and/or trying to rebel. if temptation/sin is Good For humanity b/c it teaches us to exercise our own wills correctly, which happens to be in alignment with god, is lucifer, who is not god & thus not perfect, not potentially bettered through temptation/sin. even if things are essentially shrugged off as A Mystery like well it’s divine being things and an inherently superior & alien matter that mere humanity can’t even grasp and it’s Different when lucifer the devil sinned b/c there was no other tempter & it was a completely informed decision, made in heaven, for total separation, it’s like damn couldn’t choose Partial separation? if there was Foreknowledge involved, why would the devil choose that total separation? why would a lesser being who’d know they couldn’t defeat god then or ever still decide to exist in eternal separation & supposed opposition to god anyways? what’s going on there. sounds like a lot of drama. are they making a point

which i’m saying is a segue b/c that paragraph is already quite long. into the idea “well since in this christian scenario, god is omnipotent, and Only god is omnipotent, why doesn’t god just destroy the devil” like [why do we exist, only to suffer?] problem of evil and where like. the idea “oh god just wants to make a point, kind of like with job, like oh you see? evil can’t win even if i don’t try to snuff it out in the first place. but also i Will destroy you eventually anyways, after the point’s been made to humanity maybe, or to you, the devil” but wherein again it’s like, this suggests that evil can’t exist without this specific entity, the devil, which is a particular Idea about things, but not the only idea about it all....certainly relevant how The Devil also sure hasn’t always been largely considered a major figure in christianity and could be like this sort of comedic impish side character lol. vs a threatening malicious adversary. just a funny little guy. but even if it’s the theoretical threatening malicious adversary, that’s only to humans, omnipotent omniscient god knows they can’t lose to the devil one way or another, and maybe the devil knows that too, why wouldn’t they. and yet they chose this path, why? let’s hear from the devil. are they like, well doing this means taking on this inevitable fate, but i too can do shit to just make a point? that’s very interesting to me lol. but anyways, there’s then also the idea that god must love lucifer the devil as one of god’s creations, thus refusing to destroy them. and also the idea that god cannot love lucifer b/c of the total separation / association with sin (is this a “an omnipotent god created a boulder so large the omnipotent god themself couldn’t move it” situation, or just a technicality i guess lol, or is it the same thing here, i.e. “if god can do anything can there be situations in which god Can’t do something, b/c that should be possible”). and also the idea that god won’t Destroy the devil anyways, the devil will simply eventually be out there, separated from god still, while ig humanity and the rest of creation Isn’t, or whatever is supposed to happen there. but that initial separation happened before the existence of that universe / while lucifer was totally in & of heaven, so couldn’t it happen again lol, here’s someone else who is separated. what’s Evil look like without anything else to affect, theoretically? what’s the separation look like. “eternal torment, totally” is an answer, but yknow, An idea about it. is that what that separation is like already? there’s also the idea that having fully chosen that separation / that separation itself means lucifer Can’t repent or whatever, but what’s tormenting them otherwise? is it just like ooh ouch eternal fire yep, ouch this sucks, also where’d this fire zone come from?? then there’s the idea that the shitty fire zone (gehenna style) can like, at least redeem Humans, who get to go to heaven eventually. why can’t it potentially do that for lucifer. can lucifer not theoretically repent or exercise free will again to go “well, i’ve Done the separation thing, now to the next thing.” can god not forgive lucifer. back to the idea of judas too, can he not be forgiven / redeemed. if judas had to do all that, lucifer had to do all that as part of the process also. is judas the first guy to betray someone to collect their bounty. jesus was getting crucified with a couple other utter randos too. like yep you too man? sucks. and again it’s about the angle of like, i love drama, i am also an existing human of the world, i don’t have to be reaching for conclusive christian theodicy / apologism here, the interest is like, what do these religious ideas mean re: humanity’s experience on earth and understanding of that experience. what happens to one’s prayers for judas or the devil. who’s got that quote. mark twain about who’s had the common humanity to pray for the devil as the sinner who needed it most. again, it’s maybe not so much of a generally christian idea about being able to question and Argue with god, much less that being like, righteous lmfao but it’s sure out there like hey god could you start doing this / stop doing That / Not do this thing you said you’re gonna do / hey god uhhh what the hell re: this thing you did. can you not flood the whole world again. watch me spend the whole night wrestling with an angel or maybe straightup god. what would be the point of minding one’s own business entirely like well so long as I’m going to heaven, nothing to pray For but myself, save as is obligatory re: thanks / worship, which is also just about Staying Right myself. lazarus couldn’t go “hey can you have me be alive again,” and yet. and again someone interested in it from the personal religious angle could decide to leave it at “idk it’s just Different for the devil than it is for people, and Unfathomable b/c the situation & entities are totally different from the human experience” and call it a day but it’s like well, zzz, b/c i’m here for the [how is everything understood re: the human experience]

then speaking of humanity, also the idea that Evil sprung from humans’ Original Sin in eden, which only involved a serpent’s temptation vs necessarily any introduction of evil externally. even though also there’s the argument like oh it totally was, which is what made it Different for humanity vs when lucifer did it. cue the post about god going “okay now definitely Don’t eat the fruit of this one tree that’s riiight over there....i’m omnisciently turning my back & stepping out for a while....” when there’s the situation of [my cat won’t drink water unless it’s mine so i leave a glass of water around & he thinks he’s being naughty but really he’s staying properly hydrated] and then “god in the garden of eden” tags lol. the idea that temptation/sin is necessary for humanity b/c it is good for the soul, to the point of the idea god has a direct role in the existence of evil. The Knowledge Of Good & Evil, which can possibly be understood via translation of the essence as “knowledge of everything” like [these two books contain the sum of all human knowledge: “what they teach you at harvard” / “what they don’t teach you at harvard” = implication of Everything contained in Diametric Opposite And Diametric Opposite]. the idea of the also barely biblically mentioned lilith as the first wife of adam who was like banished for refusing to be obedient / subservient to adam. lucifer banished for refusing to be obedient / subservient to god, and/or to humanity, as required by god. the whole “way to get too big for your britches trying to be too much like god” element of eating fruit that gives knowledge of good & evil like lucifer being too big for their britches, who created the britches? where did the [too big for them] tendency come from? and then the idea of what the hell uh. concupiscence. the “if it feels good / if you’re having fun, it’s probably a sin” (especially catholic) thing, like that it’s this Sensual Desire that drives people to sin, self indulgence, you’re probably too horny, don’t enjoy sex or flavors or creature comforts or anything that’s just A Good Time for its own sake. (But....if you’re holy enough you can actually have all those ecstasies but like, in the good way) lilith being Sexually Wanton just because. watcher angels falling b/c they were in love with / having sex with humans. the devil being sexy as hell (lucifer edition as the concept of being like, especially adorned, especially Beautiful) (that classic art history moment of “oh my god no that statue of lucifer is too fucking sexy” [next commissioned statue of lucifer intended to replace it is even sexier] “Nooooooooooooooo”) any Temptation being like a sexual seduction, is this serpent phallic, is the devil getting sexy with eve and that entwining? and now we just Know eve fucked adam over b/c he was corrupted by horniness due to her being a woman. what is god to the love of your wife. what is god to the love of a human woman who is also your wife i guess, fallen angels living among humans and having children with them. is the devil necessarily just bitterly trying to ruin things for Everyone too like well im dragging humanity down, does he devil not think they themself are justified & that humanity might not be helped / improved via rebellion against god too, what if the devil Thinks that, but doesn’t think they’re serving god, but that idea applies that actually evil is necessary b/c temptation & sin Do improve humanity? thinking of c.s. lewis just casually asserting a pretty Out There idea for most christianity that someone can be fully nonchristian & recognize/worship an entirely different god but, through acts which nonetheless serve christian god / are righteous according to christianity, are for all intents & purposes Saved / acknowledged in turn by christian god. naturally mayhaps a bit patronizing there lmfao but that’s trying to reconcile [there’s definitely christian heaven & everyone needs to get there through christian god] with the existence of nonchristians who are Nonetheless(tm) out there in the world seeming to be Good People to a christian despite a lack of what might be believed to be requirements for salvation like baptism / declaration of faith type stuff allowing for Saving Grace which human nature itself cannot achieve (calvinism & predestination & what all....) like if humanity Needs the devil, why is the devil condemned? if humanity needed that hydration by being naughty in the garden of eden, and that could only come about via the devil’s involvement, why is the devil condemned? is the devil then not something of a requisite sacrifice For Humanity, if so? like jesus? like judas, if Someone needed to betray jesus? and Someone needed to exist to tempt judas to that act? humanity staying condemned to separation from god / inescapable original sin b/c suddenly everything played out theoretically Ideally and everyone just stopped sinning, ever, like damn nobody will sacrifice jesus. welp. funny to then think of c.s. lewis’s funky wrangling of the situation in the lion the witch & the wardrobe like well the devil is a mean lady who wants to be in charge. original sin is when some child who’s being a real whiny bitch lately about being a child and world war two and all meets that lady, doesn’t know she’s lying or has evil fairy food & is like yeah i could stand a snack, i’m like 7. then it’s like well you just have to die from there, despite also being rude from there wanting to throw your siblings under the bus even though still one doesn’t exactly grasp the consequences, due to a lack of being informed / also being a child. you do still have to die though, but jesus will intervene on that one, and realizing that actually being with the devil sucks even though she could’ve just kept being indulgent, means that it’ll be like yeah alright, i’m Improved now, so actually this helped even if theoretically i should’ve avoided all this? and lewis is also trying to slip things past like the argument that jesus must be god b/c the only alternatives are lying, and he doesn’t act like a bad person who would lie, or insanity, and he doesn’t act like an insane person who would genuinely think they’re god, which like yeah that’s totally how things work, thanks man lmfao, truly now we’ve solved [not being christian]. next he’s gonna go off about how schools are terrible but also schoolchildren are wretches and adults are too soft & indulgent by entertaining things like psychology or to not use corporal punishment. or like be vegetarians or something. funny things that bother him as like symptoms of, or perhaps facilitators of, moral turpitude. whilest then the best thing you can be is simply like. more ignorant lol? the Innocence of younger children and, in turn, the increased purity of their faith, good job being 5. and, naturally, a distant confusing gesture at someone turning away from their faith as an adult trying to live in their reality, separated from god. lucifer was created because god chose to create them, and then to be a created being means being separate from god / Not God, which is to be imperfect, and perhaps inherently evil for that [separation from god is itself what Evil is] factor / Creation necessarily resulting in evil as Something, even if simply an absence of / separation from god. is the existence of any non god entity evil? which is an existence that Is because god made that happen? why do we exist, just to suffer? why do we have free will if we can only exercise it one way without separating oneself Further from god, theoretically increasing suffering? what does it mean to have that free will even if (further?) separation from god is never Chosen with it? what does it mean to be created into a Role? and tasked with service to someone else? to humanity, as an angel? to god, as a human? what’s god need with worship? what if no one worshipped god but managed to live in ways that didn’t involve going around trying to murder as many people as possible? what if lucifer is just trying to live their own life without worshipping or obeying god? the version of the lore with them created Into a hierarchy, Into a role that demanded subservience to humanity, or at least a human, into a situation wherein everything they did Had to go one certain way, even if they had a capacity to recognize other possibilities. what is the point of that capacity in angels or humans except to give them the potential to suffer, if it’s theoretically always the wrong, self destructive choice? if the suffering / learning through experience Why it’s wrong is good for humans, why not for angels? again, just not of interest to go “well, but angels should know better, humans wouldn’t” like and yet humans were punished anyways despite this being inevitable i guess, god Knows we like to steal sips from glasses of water & left a glass of water out and pointed it out to us then stopped supervising. and if angels should know better, why didn’t this one? if pride is such an issue, why’s god Need to be recognized by all as superior, when god’s the only omnipotent one anyways & can’t Actually be threatened? yet by rebelling, you gotta go On Principle? again, what’s the devil’s principle here? would they accept this fate of separation from god Knowing they couldn’t win, again, why wouldn’t they know? all in, certainly, once you accept total separation you can’t be even more totally separated, and may as well do whatever if nothing changes that situation. the (not necessarily particularly religiously associated) idea that there’s a strength in embracing failure, and of the concept of Possibilities being embraced by embracing the possibility of past/present/future failure, that one doesn’t have all the answers, that a utopia isn’t going to be like, This is perfect, things Cannot be any other way, This is the way, nothing about this can be wrong, everything about this must be right. lucifer’s inherent problem with authority, i vibe with that lmfao. why do angels have to exist to support their creator and also then other creations who i guess get to be freer than them? why do humans have to support god? certainly paternalistic like, well god just wants what’s best for everyone, and in turn like sure, one can accept that paternalism as a humble recognition of the theoretical fact of one’s own inferiority, being a cat of god’s or the universe’s with limited understanding of what’s beneficial for oneself / a limited perspective, but that’s not my angle here again lol like a secular exploration, we Do have other humans who engage in paternalism / assume authority over others / create hierarchies, and it sure is possible to reject that on principle, wherein that rejection is incompatible with a harmonious existence within, or necessarily even alongside, that situation. people with power over other people stopping them from going after what they want b/c that’s not what they Really want, or at least not what they Really Need, or at least not what’d Really be good for them, or maybe just not what the person in power wants. why would lucifer’s choice to be separated from god at all necessarily have to be both total and permanent? is that a punishment? why is that necessary when theoretically, if god wanted what’s best for lucifer, then lucifer should eventually go “oh hm this sucks worse” about the situation. again, what of an idea about lucifer thinking they’re justified / that they in turn are helping humanity by doing whatever they do, despite their own suffering? humanity maybe being improved by temptation/sin/evil, humanity being eligible for salvation from that, and the devil being a key part of that but Not improved for it / Not saveable? self sacrificing....

who has that quote about old testament god being a villain lol. what’s the devil there. what are they to humanity. the perspective that things like indulgence / selfishness / any traits that may be regarded as limitations, weaknesses, failures, theoretically less than Ideal, are nonetheless a part of human nature and shouldn’t be wholly rejected or condemned, and that the devil recognizes this in their own nature as well as humanity’s & isn’t necessarily a threat. and that’s just like, Atheistic Satanism lol. which i suppose is really the lens here lmao, what does [xyz idea about a The satan explore or express about the human experience]....what of a person whose creator insists they do everything a certain way as dictated by themself (the creator)? where any failure / deviance / rejection / rebellion is equivalent to taking on a total, irrevocable separation? where that creator may still love the person, but that love does nothing for them, if they don’t accept returning to alignment & obedience? where any way the person is different from their creator is dangerous, a flaw, unsympathetic, a door that should stay closed & untouched lest it lead to sin & separation, cast out into the howling wilderness of [absence of the creator & their love]? what’s it mean to Not have the creator control your existence but you just have to always choose to do everything exactly as they’d want you to? what’s it mean if the person causes difficulties / inconveniences for the creator even if nothing is truly threatened by this (e.g. that unless god isn’t omnipotent, the devil can’t have like overthrown the throne or anything)? what’s it mean if the person is simply seeking independence? what’s it mean if the person has some trait the creator doesn’t have and never had and engages with it / behaves accordingly? what if the way they were treated caused certain behavior? what if other people under the creator were favored by that creator and the original person here was required to roll with that / actively support that? what if, also, they related to those other, favored people, as people Also controlled by the creator? what if breaking with the creator is a supposed immutable punishment but also brings freedom and the potential of a fully explored existence? what i’m saying is, very interesting with a lens on lucifer re: power dynamics & systems of abuse, whether interpersonal / individual like within a family unit, and/or like via institutions and broader practices / ideologies. lucifer is created, there is inherent evil in that existence as a being who is not god, lucifer just does their thing, lucifer encourages others to just do their thing. lucifer questioning god, what’s necessarily wrong with that, if god is infinitely benevolent, what’s threatened by questioning any more than an omnipotent god is threatened by disobedience and/or entire rebellion? whilest, if lucifer as god’s stray cat is decimating the bird population (humanity) god’s still like well i Guess, but i can’t just keep that cat inside, they chose to be outside forever. where in that metaphor it’s also like, is it malicious of a cat to kill birds? if it is in lucifer’s nature to be the equivalent of like “father i crave violence” then what of that cat running around wanting to attack something if its violence cravings are an Evil that cannot be indulged? lucifer being Prideful for being decorated and beautiful and elevated above the other angels like, well, how’d all that happen in the first place? why? jesus had like, some of the humblest origins possible. why’s your best angel getting so hyped up if that’s dangerous. lucifer the lost cause problem child who we fucked up with but we’ll do it right with this other one. and then handily it can just be like, well lucifer’s trying to be in charge of everyone, that sucks. but like, god IS in charge of everyone, what about that lol? sorry, should’ve had the very literal divine right to being thee divine king in the nature of your birth? a birth which i chose & caused? why is the devil or any of us alive. what’s threatening about curiosity, or an individual lessening / rejecting a power difference, or questioning a situation or a person, much less an authority? what is the point of life under others’ prescribed path? if lucifer exists, shouldn’t they get to explore that? what of a relationship where your only option for independence means accepting eternal / complete separation? if the nature of their existence includes the inherent fallibility of Not Being God, what of it if they fall? what of it if they tried to be god because they knew they were so good and so powerful? all or nothing, you can be god (you can’t, both on principle & in practice b/c you’re not as all knowing or all powerful or all benevolent) or you can be cast out of heaven. you made them too good, maybe, but again, how’s the nature they were created with their fault lol. is it bad for an angel to question god or anyone to question an authority, or just anyone else. is it bad to reject an existence where well, i won’t Force you, but you do have to do things exactly as it is unilaterally predetermined they should be done or you are fully outta here forever b/c that’s completely incompatible to existing in paradise in the love of your creator. what if lucifer Is loved post fall? what would that result in? what would it look like? and why wouldn’t they be, one way or another, what’s it mean to be loved by god if that’s conditional? what’s provided by that if it’s conditional? what’s existence that accepts that and takes it on? lucifer was created and was like, alright, i’m a creation [is a creature] like well who can argue with that. the idea that fallen angels were like oh we love humans so much we Do wanna marry them. that if lucifer thinks it’s good and/or justified to question and disobey god, would they not also potentially see themself as Actually supporting/serving humanity in ways god doesn’t want them to by imparting them with Knowledge at the cost of increased separation from god / straying from Perfection and an obedience to an existence completely arranged for you and a role predetermined. what's Love or even just a Relationship with an unilateral immutable power difference in the mix.

and of course in all this it’s like “well but what if the devil is wrong and is trying to ruin things / make shit worse for everyone / what if the devil is basically a Destructive Force, zoroastrianism style” like sure but i feel like that’s pretty covered, and again just not relevant to my purposes lol, i’m Interested in well what of the devil as a Dynamic Character with as earnest a perspective as any other being. what would be going on there? what’s the devil as a way to question god in a religion where there’s more of a tradition that That Is Itself Bad? what’s bad about Questioning even if you presuppose that god is, in fact, always right? 

i have gone on and on about it and given that it’s as broad as [any & everything. good & evil, if you will] could continue, as could anyone, but really what this all means is that it’s like Ooh Oh Boy to know more about akd’s Lucifer in The Mysteries. let’s hear and see more from them. and it is so sexy and interesting and fun and i’m raring to see them as a hero / sympathetic neutral figure. what if they’re a funny little guy? what if they think they will cause problems on purpose? what if they feel hurt by god’s treatment of them from the start? and/or disagree with it on principle? what if they represent embracing the full reality of human nature because first they embraced the full reality of their own nature? what if it’s sexy as Hell when they show up to seduce humanity into original sin? what if it’s hopefully sexy and fun when they do anything else too, and engaging, thank you for creating drama? what if [if we can think about jesus/judas romance i’m like Who’s Kissing Akd’s The Devil]? what if i’m also like of course i’d kiss them and also i’d love to do that, let me portray lucifer. the script for the Mysteries is truly Lengthy lmfao i want in on it, let us see it. it’s just like my being hype to get to be Supposed antagonist cassius in fourth grade when we did a few julius caesar scenes, like oh love it, the gender, the drama, but also uh the nefarious conspiracy is like “this guy’s becoming a dictator huh, what if we kill him” like well lmfao. lucifer existing in the face of an absolute and theoretically inflexible authority? i’m listening. oh AND shoutout to akd’s OTHER portrayal of lucifer where they’re enduring the abandonment of humanity as a hypothetical fellow human and then gabriel as a hypothetical fellow human is like i’ve been sent to save you and we end on an angelic chord as lucifer looks like they’re about to cry. like well yes and that too, how About lucifer who is not abandoned? how About their being saved? i would also kiss them.

(oh addendum i forgot that in the midst of writing this i thought of this translated poetry segment:

He told Adam “Your fall is temporary You’ll come back to me” but Adam built a house and called it home)

#unsurprisingly been writing this for hours lol what's going on in there? possibly me forgetting entire points. many tangents #i'm sure i'll go ahead and make a gifset of the shots i think are them tonight also lol #may as well just knock out that next step in [enthusiastic mental tangent] here #i love their acting i love their [distractingly hot] i love their [And the material is like Yes They're Sexy And Being Sensual] #i love their [and the material is about the devil] i love their [i also want to do that that'd be so fun. i'd love to play the devil in #material secularly exploring christian concepts / previous explorations Via those concepts / whatever present thing it could be a lens on] #going ''oh Interesting'' re explorations of the concept of the devil when growing up catholic / growing up in an abusive family situation / #queer / have an automatic problem with authority lol

Ten Song Tag

Tagged by @winterandwords

I love any and all tags involving music because music is a huge drive behind both my writing and art~

Rules:Use your WIP playlist and put it on shuffle. Write the first 10 songs that come up and quote your favorite lyrics from each song and/or the lyrics that fit your WIP best

These are going to be from Macaw's playlist from my Social Throwaways project.

----

Caterpillar - Hollow:

"Petty people pushing petty problems onto me. Don't they see that I don't care? Ok, so. You can't force a caterpillar to change. So why try to force this on me? Never gonna be on the same page, never gonna see me grow wing." (Honestly this whole song is just vibes <3)

Met The Devil In Oklahoma - Josh Meloy:

"I've been waiting on the river now to come around and pull me out of this hole. 'cause I've run out of places to hide."

CHAOS - Hollywood Undead:

"Everything we've ever loved gets buried underneath another grave for pretty slaves. But you won't fucking bury me! I am the Alpha, the Omega, meet your maker. You're all empty souls and I'm your fucking savior. No one can save you, the chaos awaits you." (Again this song is just all the right vibes for his character/story.)

Scream With Me - Mudvayne:

"Ever feel like lying down inside a grave? Listen to the eulogy, a buyer of the hate. Ever dance beside the devil, taste the barrel of a gauge? Ever pull the trigger, the light begins to fade. Feel like slipping away"

Lowlife - Adam Jensen:

"I'm a lowlife tryna get my head right. Stuck inside a dream. Cake and ketamine. I'm a lowlife tryna get my head right. I'm too young to die. And too old to cry."

The Heresy - Mushroomhead:

"Foster the future and nurture the land. Stitches and sutures, divisions in sand. Mass evacuations, sanctions for land. It's time we stand for something. Walking hand in hand."

Still Counting - Volbeat:

"Counting all the assholes in the room. I'm definitely not alone." (This song is in his playlist literally for this quote. I'm happy it came up in the shuffle, ha.)

Revenge, And A Little More - Unlike Pluto:

"I just want revenge. I feel like someone's up to something. Betrayal in the air, I'm losing my mind. Just another knife in my back. Pull 'em out and watch my pain pour out."

Choke - Poppy:

"The demon has seen me. He said "I'm not leaving". The angel is watching me, knows he can't stop me. I'm guessing they're testing me. Getting the best of me. Don't know how long until they see the rest of me."

This Is The Time - Nothing More:

"You can't see because you don't know. You're caught below, beneath your own shadow. Stuck inside, half alive. Do you ever stop to ask yourself why? Close your mind, identify. Do you feel, do you feel? Do you call this a life? All you waited for. Drowning just to keep score."

---

Had to skip one song because it was an instrumental. Oops. 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' by Justin Johnson if any of you wanna check it out.
