Woo! New Darksiders teaser! Who else is super excited? Hope we get more news within the next couple months.

Anyways! Wanted to share another Darksiders crossover idea! Or, more like return to one particular crossover idea. The Darkness.

Oh, how interesting it would be if all the Horsemen could encounter good ol' Jackie Estacado. Strife I can imagine would probably try befriending Jackie. Fury would probably wonder what was so special about this human. War and Death would probably be cautious, just in their own ways.

Jackie however, would immediately be suspicious and on guard. Four people that he can immediately tell are of some kind of non-human nature, now taking an interest in the weird activity of New York City. He's especially suspicious once The Darkness starts cackling in his head about the chaos that will be wrought soon enough. He knows that once that thing starts going, there's a high chance that whatever it's talking about is no good.

I can imagine that maybe the Horsemen are on Earth for once, just enjoying what it's like in a modern city, and that once night falls and Jackie starts doing what he does best, that's also when the Horsemen start taking notice of The Darkness, as I like to imagine that's they may have a sort of sixth sense for things of a magical nature. Imagine if the other Artifacts, like say The Angelus, The Witchblade, The Rapture or the Spear of Destiny get brought into the equation, and the batshit insanity that may just erupt.

Oooo! Just had a neat idea for this. Imagine if like how the Spear of Destiny is... enchanted, I guess, by the blood of Jesus, imagine if in this crossover The Rapture is a portion of the Charred Council, just sort of chipped off or something. Or maybe if having the Witchblade get involved, with the Artifact being of both order and chaos, of both Light and Dark, it could be seen as like a proto‐Nephilim of sorts?

I really gotta get back to reading more of volume one of The Darkness, as it may help me get some ideas of writing something beyond just basic ideas for this crossover.

This painting is not just about praying over potatoes!

The Angelus bells are rung generally at 6am, noon, and 6pm (you can see the church in the distance) and prompt everyone who hears to pause and say a short prayer:

V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.

Hail Mary, etc.

V. And the Word was made flesh.

R. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary, etc.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let Us Pray

Pour forth, we beseech Thee O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by his Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of his Resurrection through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The prayer summarizes the entire Gospel message of God’s involvement in and love for humankind. Potatoes are great and indeed a necessity but this isn’t about that. This is about pausing to remember God’s relationship with us throughout the day.

That’s what these two people are pausing in the labor to recite in this painting.

It’s a wonderful spiritual practice and these days you can even get an Angelus app which will ring bells for you three times a day.

The Angelus (1859) by Jean-Francois Millet, depicting peasants praying over the potato harvest.

I love Spike being Angel's foil from the second he showed up. He was literally there taking care of, worshiping and adoring and respecting the woman he loved every minute he was on screen and it really highlights what a pos Angel was even with a soul

You know how love birds are commonly recommended to be kept in pairs? Yeah, that's them 💔

Then Sentinel came along and ruined it 🙄
