Right?! Like Thespius and Click Clack are just treated like celebrities, Bauhauzzo and Huzzle Mug are the weird immortal city council, Inspekta is… a cult leader at this point. Like the Bizzyboys are a cult now. Maybe they weren’t always a cult but they’ll literally take your name away to manipulate you.

And Miss Mitternacht is maybe the creator god but even then like… when you go to help her and end up only making her cry more nobody’s like “oh you’ve doomed us all our god is displeased” it’s a mix of “oh this is inconvenient” from some characters and “How could you make such a lovely lady cry?!” from others (even though some of Miss M’s dialogue is like… yeah she once cried so much she caused a Noah’s Arc situation. Very capable of causing big disaster if she’s upset enough.)

Cobigail’s the only one treated as something so other. They have an altar for her when they could literally just walk into the schoolhouse and visit her personally! Everyone’s scared of her, even Bloom’s son!

And she’s the only God who regularly talks positively about her human life! Inspekta only brings his up in a negative light. You can call him a “tiny weak little bug” and he responds like this

And Bauhauzzo brings up his human life only in the context of one of his history lessons: he used to work as a librarian and archivist at The Spire, but mortals aren’t allowed there anymore and it’s fallen into disrepair and he’s a little sad about it but has reached acceptance. It’s sweet but I unfortunately don’t have any screenshots of it atm.

The point is that Cobigail is the only God who still considers her human life a major, positive part of her identity— even despite her memory issues regarding it— yet she’s treated as the least human by the mortals. She values her community so much! And they don’t treat her like a real part of it anymore!

On the bright side, though… some of the people in Mildread have different reactions to Cobigail’s “BOO!” after you remind them what The Harvest is really about. It’s sweet.

Mostly sweet, at least

Saul you freak. (Affectionate, mostly)

Y’know a lot of the gods in Great God Grove are treated more like celebrities than gods. Their power over the thing they’re god of seems to be mostly social influence. Exceptions to this are Miss M, may or may not be the actual creator god of this world, and… Cobigail. For some reason.

The people of Mildread (Bloom notwithstanding) treat Cobigail like an inhuman deity, more like a force of nature than a person. And yeah, she is a force of nature now, technically, but she also values her town, her community so much. She seems to hold her human life in higher regard than any of the other gods do. I wonder if it hurts to be seen as something so other now. To have everyone convinced you’re this monstrous thing. I wonder if she misses being human.

Either way, Cobigail seems to have some actual influence over how well the crops do, which is more than I can say for, like… Thespius. Or Inspekta. Or even Bauhauzzo. He doesn’t seem to have any control over whether people remember things or not, it’s just that his own memory is good and he can… tell people what he remembers.

And then there’s Cobigail. As long as she’s not being starved, she has power over how the crops do. But??? She might’ve already had that as a human??

…She’d get along with Summer from Spiritfarer I think.

That flower in the drawing is glowing. Cobigail even calls her song an “incantation”??
