#from adam and eve

[spiritofpassionfruit]

Coming back from the dead (old acc) to scream about the archangels being so close to having human emotions right up until they arent. They do not get what being alive is, what being seperated from God means, what being something other than your job means, they have agency to exist in freedom, but no reason to search for more because theres nothing more to search for. They are weapons or instruments or holders of order first and everything else second, just as people are humans first, and then everything else second.

Don't we all just wanna see Crowl E and AzEVAphale holding hands at the end?

And M-Oriel for good measure, can't leave them out ~

Good Omens Study Club movie poster art!

At first I thought making this crossover would be very hard, but turns out it was super fun! Especially putting in all the easter eggs.

So, one of the most interesting things that's come from my recent exercises in writing the Olympians as young deities is all of the very fun and somewhat painful conversations that come from the young deities acquiring and consequently settling into their domains.

Apollo and Artemis especially have been really fascinating under the microscope. They start off identically, with extremely similar interests and similar domains over the hunt and wilderness. They spend their days under the stars and foraging for fruit and dancing and singing in the fields, two rustic god-children exploring and learning together. Then Apollo goes off on his own to slay Python.

Now, a lot of things change when Apollo kills Python. That is the act which transforms the bow from a tool of survival and sport to an instrument of murder, bloodshed and ultimately war. It is Apollo's first act of wrath which separates him from Artemis - both spiritually because she has not yet shed blood herself as a goddess and physically because it leads to his exile. Most importantly however, the slaying of Python is the act that grants Apollo his knowledge.

If violence is what first separates Apollo from Artemis then it is knowledge which keeps them apart.

This can refer to a lot of things; that Artemis continued to be at home with the wild beasts of the forests and mountains while Apollo grew to prefer the domesticated sheep and cattle, that Artemis continued to avoid mortals while Apollo grew to know their ways and endeavoured to teach them more. The point that has been the most interesting to me however has been Artemis, who remains free of slaughter, and thus remains pure and Apollo, who becomes acutely and entirely too aware of it, and thus must be constantly purified.

Apollo's infatuation with medicine specifically is the place where this becomes most apparent. When he leaves for his exile to travel as a mortal, without nectar or ambrosia, without power, Apollo is without the privileges of the divine for the very first time. He sweats, he smells, he grows weary when he travels, he grows hungry and thirsty. He experiences fatigue and nausea, the fever of sickness, the chill of infection, the delirium of poison. The blood Apollo shed does not only make him impure spiritually, it strips him of the purity of his birth and station. Likewise, medicine is not a divine practice. What use do the unkillable immortals have for something as finicky as medicine when they have nectar and ambrosia? Apollo however, knows of the pains of the flesh and the suffering of the mortal coil. He pursues medicine in all its horrors and difficulties because of the knowledge he gained with blood.

Artemis then, cannot understand the medical Apollo. When her brother returns possessed by this spectre of ill-gained knowledge, she does not recognise him. Who is this boy who scores the deer and studies the shape of their intestines before he cooks them? What good is there in rescuing a chick with a broken wing? The Apollo-of-the-Wild in her memories would have done the correct thing and left the thing for dead - let the forest take what is its due. Who is this Apollo whose hands are always stained to the wrist in the blood and gore of the living? What is his fascination with the mechanics of mortal bodies? Artemis does not know and Apollo does not tell her.

That has, by far, been my favourite effect of the whole Python watershed moment to explore recently.

"From Eden" as an Ineffable Husbands song gets painful when you imagine Crowley saying "Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know" because he's the one who lost his innocence first 😭

I HC Adam used to farm before he became an Angel. But heaven had other plans and didn’t need him to do that when he got there so he hasn’t gotten to farm in thousands of years. Months after he becomes a sinner he remembers he can do what the fuck he wants within reason at the hotel and takes it back up as a hobby instead of for survival

He’s like a fish in water, Adam scares the fuck out of Hell’s local fauna. Charlie supports this enthusiastically and over time Adam kind of lets her help because she keeps coming to fucking look at it anyway. However I think Lucifer is not allowed to help or even be within sixteen feet of the space unless he can prove to Adam he isn’t going to plant a god damn apple tree when Adam turns his back

i see your "thousand eyes and wings" biblically accurate aziraphale and raise you "biblically accurate according to weird ass medieval illuminations" aziraphale (& bonus crowley)

inspired by this illuminated manuscript page depicting the story of adam and eve:

Can't imagine thinking reylo is a top seed. They would lose against every other ship in this bracket. They would lose against every other ship period. They would lose to Adam/Eve from the bible. And Eve accidentally damned them both. It would still be 97/3 sweep for Adameve.

i think adameve could sweep not just against reylo, but in their own right too. if you think about it, eve was the first girlboss for rebelling against the theocratic authoritarian regime. and adam was the first malewife for breaking the only law in existence just because his wife told him to

[cantheykillmacbeth]

how about Adam, of biblical fame, with the not really being born and all situation

Yes, Adam from Christian Mythology could kill Macbeth!

Being spontaneously created by the male Christian deity called God (very original), he applies for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause!

In addition, his wife Eve applies for all three Clauses, due to being a woman created by God from one of Adam's ribs.

Thank you for your submission!
