Does Zov ever try to find/help any of his other kids? The majority of them would still be in Evangeline, right?

Good question!

The following text contains SPOILERS for future LG stories, so I will place it under a cut:

I hate to say this, but realistically, I think most of Zov's other kids are dead.

Jennie only scraped by because Karenzan priestesses got her medicated just in time, but most of his other children would have inherited his GSV from their infected mothers and died somewhere between infancy to early childhood. Since they were all Evangelite slaves, they did not have access to the suppressant medication to keep their GSV in check. Fay (Jennie's mother) happened to escape Evangeline Kingdom during her pregnancy, making sure to give birth to Jennie in a free land. This was certainly not easy to do, and the fact that she succeeded was nothing short of a miracle.

Jennie got incredibly lucky. The stars really aligned for her, and this is not lost on Zov. He understands how slim the chances were, not only for her survival but also that he would meet up with her, and he believes this whole situation was an intentional act of Gaia to test the quality of his soul. He is motivated to take responsibility, be a good father to Jennie, and hopefully claw his way out of the bad afterlife he thinks he's going to suffer for all the murders he's committed in the arena.

Ultimately he just wants to give Jennie all the opportunities and fulfillment he missed out on as a slave.

He probably does have some older kids out there who he fathered before he got GSV. However, his children were specifically bred to become arena fighters like himself, and the lifespan of these fighters is really abysmal. It's not likely that these kids made it far before getting pummeled to death.

askjennie replied to your post “is it possible to have a crush on someone but, like, still not want a...”

Or it is totally possible that you're attracted to someone, but you're just not ready to be in a relationship right now. You don't have to want to actually act on your crush to be able to feel it.

Yes, this too. I’d suggested being alloromantic but romance repulsed because of the wording of the ask, but it’s absolutely possible anon just doesn’t want a relationship right now.

Lilian's "mini" pig

Just a random little idea I had. SPOILERS for future LG stories under the cut:

Pigs are a recurring theme in Lily's story. I won't get into them or what they represent in this post (if you've read her saga then you already know) I will just mention that Dario kept domestic pigs to help him dispose of his victim's corpses. Lily was often in charge of caring for the pigs, she made friends with them and especially loved the baby ones.

One day Lily tells Zov about the baby pigs, speaking about them with such fondness that it gives him an idea. He goes to the market in Taybiya, where ranchers sell their livestock, and sure enough he finds a man selling piglets.

He asks the man how big these babies will get. The man boasts that they will surely grow to a thousand pounds at least, and provide lots of meat! Zov is disappointed, mentioning that he was hoping to find something smaller to give his girlfriend as a pet.

As Zov leaves, the man suddenly stops him. He picks up a random piglet from his stock and tells Zov that this particular one is a "mini pig". It will stay small and cute forever, he promises! Zov buys the animal, puts a bow on it, and gives it to Lily.

Of course Lily falls in love with the adorable little piglet and names it Pinky.

1 year later, Pinky is a 1500lb behemoth. Zov was ready to drag her back to that conman and demand a refund 1300 pounds ago, but Lily had grown too attached by then, so now he's stuck with a giant farm animal sleeping at the foot of his bed every night like a dog.

Pinky is a sweet and intelligent beast...as long as she gets her daily PB&J sandwich. If she does not get that sandwich, Gaia help everyone in the temple...she goes berserk, breaking down doors, tearing up floorboards, and flipping people like pancakes until she gets what she wants.

Lily trains her to guard the temple from Crescent Cultists. Pinky can identify their wretched stink and she will gore them to death in seconds when she does.

Zov comes to begrudgingly accept the beast. She becomes Jennie's childhood pet and companion, and she's so big that Jennie can even ride her like a horse. The Karenzans use Pinky's cultist-detecting ability to find local hideouts and destroy them. This pig seems to have the unique ability to sense evil.

With Pinky's help, the Karenzans are able to weed out all the hidden cult hives in Taybiya. This becomes crucial later when they turn Taybiya into Azizaland, the kingdom of Etherea's second territory (the first is the Ethereal City).

They erect a big pig statue in Azizaland's plaza to honor Pinky for centuries to come. 🐖 Some of Pinky's offspring inherit her ability, and Karenzan beastmasters breed them to create a new breed of cultist-detecting war mounts.

These beasts become known as Azizan Crescent-Crunchers, or just "Crunchers" for short. They look like a burly-ass cross between a domestic pig, a wild boar, and a rhinoceros. They are highly motivated by peanut butter.

Jennie's Boyfriend

Just some silly memes

SPOILERS for future Looming Gaia stories under the cut!

Lily and Zov when teenage Jennie announces she has her first boyfriend:

When they realize she has spent her entire life in a women-only temple and has zero experience with boys:

They realize she's growing up and they want to give her the independence she deserves. At the same time, nobody knows the depravity of men like these two do, so they just can't bring themselves to detach completely...

Buddy when Jennie's parents ask them to secretly spy on her during her date:

Buddy always gets stuck doing crap like this and it never ends well for them lol.

Every new boy Jennie brings back to the temple:

Lily: I can't wait for the day Jennie tells us she's getting married. ❤️

Zov: I can't wait for the day Jennie tells us she's a lesbian...😑

The pivotal moment Zov went from Lindist homophobe to flag-waving ally was when he met all the scrungly-ass dirtbag boys his daughter kept dragging home, and he was so fucking disappointed lmao

Zov: You sure you don't like girls?

Jennie: I don't think so...

Zov: Not even a little bit? C'moooon...!

Jennie: Papa, I thought you said that was wrong?

Zov: I was wrong, okay? Boys are stupid, disgusting animals! Now go find a nice girl instead, I'm begging you! 😭

Message from @randomhedgie , on the subject of Jennie. It contains potential Looming Gaia spoilers, so I will place it under a cut:

randomhedgie asked:

I have so many questions about Jennie!! But first things first, I'm so glad to see that the surgery went well!! I hope your doing ok! Onto Jennie, she's so cute!! I was wondering, how old is she in relation to Cinnamon? I feel like they could be little mischievous friends. Secondly, what happened to her birth mom? I don't think said birth mom would be OK with Zov having custody considering the circumstances around Jennie's conception. What age do Zov and Lily adopt her at? Did Zov know she's his biological daughter before adopting her, or after?

-----

Thank you so much! I'm told that full recovery takes a few months, but I'm doing well so far. My thyroid had basically died and turned into a giant tumor, it was literally sucking the life out of me. I'm hoping I'll feel better going forward.

Jennie's exact entry into the series hasn't been finalized, so I can't say how old she will be in relation to Cinnamon or the other characters yet. But yes, if they were around the same age, I could totally see them hanging out! Cinnamon would be such a bad influence on Jennie, lol. Jennie at least tries to be a good girl, but Cinnamon doesn't even try. She's a little shit and she knows it.

Jennie's birth mom (Fay) died from her GSV infection, unfortunately. Her Evangelite enslaver forced her to breed with Zov, intending to sell their valuable offspring. Fay did not want to give up her baby, despite the circumstances of its conception, so she planned her escape during the early stages of her pregnancy. Little did she know, a baby wasn't the only "gift" Zov gave her...she had also contracted GSV from him, a virus that can lie dormant for years before suddenly becoming deadly.

Fay fled to Taybiya, where she gave birth to Jennie and lived a relatively normal life. But after a few years, the GSV activated and she did not have access to suppressant medication (nor did she even realize she had GSV). She realized she was getting sicker and sicker for unknown reasons and would die soon, so she finally took Jennie to a local orphanage run by Karenzans. The Order of Love and Light tried to save her, but her illness was too advanced. All they could do at that point was make sure her daughter was taken care of. She died just days after giving up Jennie.

I imagine Jennie was around 5-8 years old when her mother died and she ended up at the orphanage. Lily happened to be volunteering at this orphanage at the time, and she noticed that Jennie had a "Zov" in her name (Jen Fay Zov). Names are a genetic feature for goblins, so this set off alarms for her.

Curious, she mined her fellow volunteers for information and they revealed all that Fay told them before she died. She mentioned that Jennie's father was a pit fighting slave she was forced to breed with. Jennie was also starting to get ill like her mother, and the Karenzans diagnosed her with GSV (luckily they caught it early, so it could be suppressed with medication). Lily was able to put all the pieces together and realize Jennie was, in fact, one of Zov's children.

Lily and Zov weren't sure about having children initially, but meeting this girl sealed the deal, and they decided it would be criminal of them not to adopt her. Fay certainly would not approve of Zov having custody of her daughter, but the Zov she knew was a very different person than the one he grows into later. By this time he has matured into the best man he can be, and he has learned the value of kindness, empathy, and love from his time with the Karenzans. He is far from perfect, but he's come a long way and is still moving forward.

As Zov learns things like empathy, the countless murders and rapes of his past really start to haunt him. He has to work through all that trauma and it is not easy, to the say the least. Though it was not his choice to do those things (Dorzlaf forced him), his previously cold attitude towards it sickens him. He decides to step up and raise Jennie, to give her the nice life that he was denied, and he will do it to honor every woman and child he ever harmed during his long career as a pit fighter. He is quite religious (was a Modern Lindist, later became a Traditional Lindist) and determined to save his soul. He believes Jennie was delivered to him by the gods as a way to do just that, so he takes his role as her father very seriously.

He and Lily would not be able to raise her on their own, but they have a lot of friends at the temple who are more than willing to help. Between two loving parents, her guardian Buddy, and a lot of wise Karenzan priestesses, I think Jennie is on track to have a great (and rather interesting...) life!

Hi, hope everyone is having a great (or at least bearable) holiday season! I am, but as I've been busy it's time to close my ask inbox until the new year. I will let you all know as soon as it reopens. Thanks for your patience! - Jennie

Hello i sent some asks before but you never answered i am curious if they reached you or you didn’t take them serious😅

I answer every ask I receive, so either they’re still in my inbox, or they got lost in the Tumblr void and I never received them. If it’s been a while and you haven’t got a response, feel free to send them again to make sure I have them. 

[askjennie]

Part 1 of 2 Hi Jennie, I have created a bad situation...but it has already been a year now. Long story short: I am 23/f I had gotten into my first serious relationship we i had moved out to a room I rented(I had to move back and give up my room 6 mon. Later ‘cause the owner’s family member needed a new place to stay). Things didn’t go so well just before I was ready to introduce hi, to my parents.

Sorry, I don’t seem to have a second part to this question. Could you resend it?

[askjennie]

I asked a question and it’s kinda of very urgent like life or death urgent so, could you respond quickly

As you are anonymous, I’m afraid I have no idea which question is/was yours.

[askjennie]

I need help. There’s a person that I don’t really want to be friends with but I can’t drop them bc I’d feel terrible. I haven’t talk to them in a while and they keep making things about them and like I’ve hurt them. Tbh I don’t talk to anyone unless it’s my boyfriend. I’ve closed myself off bc I need to take care of myself. So what do I do?

You say you can’t drop them, but it sounds like you kind of already have. What’s the difference between not talking to them but pretending they’re still your friend, and not talking to them and not pretending they’re still your friend? If they’re already hurt because you’re not talking to them anyway, why not go the whole way and stop being friends with them now?

I say ‘pretending they’re still your friend’, because if you don’t want to be friends with them, this isn’t really a friendship. Friendships are mutual - both people involved want to keep spending time together. You’re already not friends with this person, and it sounds like you’re already not acting like a friend to this person as well, because you’re already not talking to them. So, it sounds like all you need to do is decide not to get back in touch with this person, and you’ve already removed them from your life.

You’re not obligated to maintain friendships that you don’t want to maintain. This person needs friends in their life who actually want to be their friend, and you need friends in your life who you actually want to be friends with. In the long run, ending this friendship is the best decision for both of you.

[askjennie]

He almost didn't move. He asked my sister about it and she said "it's up to you. If you wanna do it, do it". Before my sister moved back, he had said he didn't really want to move. He hated it too. He shouldn't have taken that job. It ruined so much. Idk why it hurts me so much. Especially after 3 years. But it does. My mom talks bad about him cuz he's being dumb and now my sister had to get a lawyer involved. I hate when they talk about him. Maybe cuz it reminds me about who he used to be (4/4)

Sorry, I don’t think I have any other parts to this. If you need an answer, could you resend your question?
