#adalith my beloved

Calling it now as a HC for myself. Under the cut for triggering content. (Please check the tags)

Given how unsavory she was in the garden + her description in the Zohar that has her as needing to be removed (and the corruption thing I discovered about Adam & the taking of the female for her protection), Lilith would have been removed regardless if she and Adam made up, copulated and expected children together, because Lilith would have been cursed to die in childbirth together with their child/children (since, iirc, the kids that were meant to come from the first humans were supposed to be twins). I think the only way these two would have thrived together would be as adoptive parents, completely childfree, or through becoming an item without the pressure of having to nurture humanity to Heaven's standards, which would either be done outside of Eden, or far off into the future when their purpose didn't matter anymore. I just don't see a reason for them to thrive in Eden while they had a chip on their shoulder. 🤷‍♀️

First kiss (literally ever)

A bit more pushed 🤔 but is it enough??

[primordialruin]

So anyway. Primordial humans but make it sapphic.

bit of a failed doodle. I wasn't able to push it to the angle I wanted & the proportions are all wack... but it's alright for a 1AM sketch, I think.

Blame my shipper heart that yearns for things it shouldn't, but gah what I wouldn't give for the first humans growing closer and reaching compromises for the exterminations. They conspire to rid the city of the vilest sinners while creating safe spaces in selected places that the exorcists won't touch. It breaks Lilith's heart to have to endorse the genocide after urging her sinners to resist and defend against it. But this is a measure of protection against those who are truly terrible.

Love the idea of Lilith and Adam getting physically separated by a series of misfortunes in Eden. A rhinoceros swims between them when they try to cuddle in a pond. Bees and wasps zoom between their faces when they get dangerously close to kissing for the first time. A moose lays between them when they settle down to sleep next to each other. Their whispered sweet nothings get interrupted by the sudden moos of a bovine herd that settled in their camp.

This is in reference to the Zohar saying that she was taken away from him because she wasn't a good help that matched him.

Thinking of the first kiss between Adam and Lilith. It probably happened on her forehead and she was so confused like... U trying to eat me??? What are you doing with your mouth?

One of the future poses I'll use for my adalith doodle batch 🙂‍↕️

Hehehe~ my Adalith fanart has gotten quite a bit of attention on bluesky! Call me captain because I'm going down with this ship!

[primordialruin]

I will never push my ships on anyone. I'll suggest it, but I'm not going to insist if you're not with it. I'm an artist and writer, if I want to indulge in it, I can make my own stuff so dw 👌
