Some years ago a lady brought to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh a trout covered with a fine coat of white fur. It was pleasingly mounted on a wooden shield and was labelled as follows:
FUR BEARING TROUT
Very Rare
Caught while trolling in Lake Superior off Gros Cap, Near Sault Ste. Marie, district of Algoma. It is believed that the great depth and the extreme penetrating coldness of the water in which these fish live has caused them to grow their dense coat of (usually) white fur. Mounted by ROSS C. JOBE, Taxidermist of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
Visiting the museum to find out more about her unique fish, the lady was told that it was undoubtedly a trout (either brown or brook) and that its fine white coat was undoubtedly from a rabbit, whereupon she immediately presented the fish to the museum. She had bought this fake in good faith which indicates that the idea of a fur-bearing trout did not seem outlandish to her.
―Stanley Peter Dance, Animal Fakes & Frauds, 1976

I feel like The Father and Hell both understand and experience love in all the worst ways.
The Father sought to create a life form that would follow and love him unconditionally. It wasn't enough that he had a great cosmic kingdom of angels who are unquestioningly loyal, no, he needed something that knew suffering and mortality and the threat of oblivion, and would still find love at the end; love for him above all else. But after numerous implied failures at that, in his desperation, he instead created the threat of eternal damnation to force them to love him in order avert that fate. Lucifer's words must have been like a splash of cold water, but by the time he realized sheer magnitude of suffering he had unintentionally set into motion, it was too late.
He could not destroy Hell; he could not stop the cycle of violence.
That guilt drove him to seek a death that, from the looks of it, eluded him in spite of the hollowness consuming him. And now he is... somewhere, helpless to stop his experiments from consuming one another and themselves in a glorious show of blood and violence.
And then there's Hell itself, who seems to recognize love as an act of violence and cruelty. It is something that derives joy only from the suffering of other living creatures. God gave it so many toys to hurt and break and reform, and Mankind gave it new ones. Why would it understand love as anything but? It gave Minos a facsimile of the son he is most ashamed of, and delighted when he cast it, once more, into a labyrinth. Gabriel flattened all the souls within it's confines beneath his heel and gave those that did bend false hopes.
Now there's V1, tearing its way through the remaining layers and creating a spectacle of violence like nothing Hell has ever witnessed before. How could it not love them all for all the entertainment they've provided?
But deep within its recesses, hidden away from the eyes of Heaven, there was a Gutterman. A machine built for war, who eventually came to love that which it gave it life at the cost of their own. Enough to give the human welded within their coffin the mercy that both Heaven and Hell had denied them; enough to write a single love letter to them, even knowing that it would never be read by its intended recipient.
So, as things turn out, you /can/ teach a machine to love. And they will understand and experience it more sincerely than God or Hell ever could.

2023 Thanksgiving Special; Slashers
A/N: Finally done with the 2023 Thanksgiving Specials!! Phew, my hands were starting to cramp writing these! I hope you all enjoy the four-parter that is this Thanksgiving! Have a great Thanksgiving!!
Spending Thanksgiving With Them

🕯️ Vincent was always nervous when it came to the holidays
🕯️ The Sinclair brothers never really spent a true holiday together ever since returning to Ambrose years ago
🕯️ They’ve tried, but their work has always got in the way
🕯️ Vincent was the one who had cooked most of it, but Bo and Lester would hunt it all, rarely did they ever have to buy a lot of stuff, since they prepared ahead of time
🕯️ With your help, he made dinner a lot faster, and with you distracting him from the darker side of everything, Vincent valued you being there more and more
🕯️ He sat next to you and barely took of his mask normally, but you convinced him to take it off fully
🕯️ After cleaning, you and Vincent laid in bed and rested together, and every year after that, he’d look forward to Thanksgiving, and every holiday before and after

🧱 This wall boy never really knew a good Thanksgiving ever since he was basically seven years old
🧱 So, when he had smelled the turkey and foods you were making in the kitchen, he was hit with a wave of nostalgia
🧱 He came out of the walls and looked over your shoulder in curiosity
🧱 Brahms watched you smile and lay a hand on his, which was holding the edge of the countertop
🧱 You asked him what he needed, and it launched from him following you around to him fully helping you cook
🧱 He never really cooked growing up, as he normally just ate the stuff his past babysitters and parents left him, or rather, his doll-self
🧱 Brahms found his love for cooking with you at that moment
🧱 He loved the turkey you both made
🧱 And he fell asleep just a half-hour later, you trapped in his arms
🧱 You better make sure you didn’t leave anything running, because you’re not coming out of there unless its a real emergency

💝 This poor little guy didn’t know what was going on
💝 He watched you start cooking and tried climbing your legs to sit on your shoulder
💝 You just picked him up and sat him there as he made grabby hands to the pot which you were cooking with
💝 Gizmo listened to your explanation as to what Thanksgiving was and the food you were making was
💝 He’s so clueless about it it’s adorable af
💝 You better make sure he doesn’t sneak any pumpkin pie after midnight, or else you’re screwed
💝 Gizmo is the sweetest and tries helping you cook every single year, no matter what

🍭 He hated this so much
🍭 He wanted it to be Halloween again, he wanted to make sure people were behaving and honoring the traditions
🍭 Who was gonna do that here?!
🍭 Sam did not want to help you cook, he didn’t believe in this holiday, do he didn’t care about the foods of it
🍭 But, after a while, and a lot of sugar bribing, he finally helped you with certain things, like going to the store with you to buy a turkey
🍭 He also helped you butcher the turkey, even though you said carve, he prefers butcher
🍭 You butcher meat, you don’t carve it! Don’t dishonor the pumpkins!
🍭 Sam is one of the most stubborn when it comes to eating the food
“ Samhain, eat it. “
* shakes his head no *
“ Sam. “
🍭 Once he finally caves, he goes immediately to his room to ‘sleep’ (idk if he actually sleeps, just guessing there)
🍭 Overall, just a sourpuss (just about as bad as Michael)
