MY TIME HAS COME
ok so andrew's name actually is already biblical, it being andrew joseph minyard; andrew was an apostle of jesus, and joseph was the son of jacob. there are actually some notable events in bible andrew's and aftg andrew's lives.
bible andrew was known as Prōtoklētos or first-called in the gospel of john. this is because he was the first to meet jesus and also the first of his twelve apostles! he was a fisherman and was fishing with his brother when jesus approached and asked him to become a "fisher of men". andrew, upon recognizing jesus as the messiah (the savior), recruited his brother simon peter to follow jesus as well.
and what happens to aftg andrew pre-tfc? he is recruited by wymack and sees an opportunity for his family (aaron because he needed the scholarship, and nicky because he deserved something good). essentially, he did "fish men" and recruited people into the foxes because he believed that it would benefit them, hence why he might view wymack as their "savior". not only that, neil speculates that part of kevin's reasons for transfer is andrew.
moving on to joseph (genesis) because i might yap too much if i focus on both, but things happened that eventually led to his brothers being jealous and selling him (he's innocent). long story short, he became an important person in the pharaoh's court (😏) because he could interpret dreams and gave the pharaoh advice in order for egypt to prosper.
how does this relate to aftg andrew joseph? this might be a bit of a stretch but it does share parallelisms to how tilda left him, forcing him to move around in the foster system before eventually becoming a fox. his talents at exy, like joseph's skill at dream interpretation, becomes his key to a better life (pro team! neil!) and i think that's wonderful...
going back to names though, andrew means "man" in greek while joseph can mean "god shall add" coming from the greek word that means "to add, increase"
his name literally can literally mean the man who will add.
you know what else his name can mean, though? the man who will give.
he gives neil a phone. a key to his house. kisses. a reason to live.
anyway i think nora just did eeny-meeny-miny-mo for their names lol
this has probably been said before but you know what kills me about aftg
you have renee right. her whole backstory revolves around being a "reborn", and her two names (besides their religious roots) literally mean "dedicated to the festivity of birth" and "reborn", plus the sheer fact that she goes by the middle one shows how she chooses her "second life" over who she was etc etc
and then you have just. "andrew"

You demand respect
Yet respect no one
You want deep connections
But never open up
You say, "Your feelings are valid"
Then dismiss them
You command the truth
Yet speak lies yourself
You act differently "irl"
Than on Social media
You create "boundaries" for yourself
But then, break mine.
You desire forgiveness
Without extending it
You expect our attendance
While disregarding your own
You require responses to your messages
Then, ignore ours in return
You need approval
Yet disapprove of everyone
You set high standards for all
Save yourself
You want unconditional love
While placing conditions on yours
You seek adoration
But send out humiliation
You preach "the Golden rule"
Then ignore it.
You say you want peace
But always start war.

I have so many song parallels to rvb characters in my brain
Also recruits but I'm waiting until S2 before setting anything in stone so far because I really only get Network and Analog so far

A long time ago DMC's twins were biblically compared to Cain and Abel. I don't hear and see that as much now.
I don't agree why they compare the twins to Cain and Abel. I don't think they're twins and their story is that of murder done by a jealous hand. Neither the twins were jealous of the other. Their story is simply how they view their father's gifts upon them and what they do with it.
If we're going to use this tale as analogy to reboot DmC twins' story it's weak sauce. Vergil's Downfall may reveal Vergil's internal struggles of feeling lesser, but it strongly stems from his own limited perception. Perhaps he now wants to kill Dante because he perceived him to be their mom's favorite? Of course, the audience gets the idea that is likely untrue. He could also have motives against Dante simply because their difference in perspectives of the world clashes with one another so much.
In a way, then, the Cain and Abel analogy may loosely fit DmC, although Cain and Abel's story is about penalizing a crime. And how even the most mundane situations can still lead to someone's demise, if the wrong circumstances happen.
There is another notable biblical sibling story, Esau and Jacob. This time however their story is about birthright and the best candidate to even attain such a thing, as well as the legacy passed down.

It would have been as if Joseph's brothers had come down to Egypt to buy grain but found no one home.

THIS REMINDS ME! why does it feel like a good 80% of current indie horror series are extremely christian? the amount of times "turns out: its actually demons/angels/god/satan!" has happened in the series ive heard about is wild... and its honestly getting boring lmao
yeah it makes sense in the "this is a commentary on a specific part of culture or a specific view point in society" kind of way. but theres still so much, im getting annoyed whenever it happens. i want to look at the application and what it means for the story and setting and creators, but im too busy rolling my eyes at another book of revelation reference.
