On love and sacrifices

There’s so much more to this scapegoating business and big sacrifices referenced in the Good Omens narrative than the literal goats. And they’re only getting bigger, louder, final.

But let’s take it slow and start with the beginning, quite literally — i.e., with the Good Omens 2 title sequence. As we follow Aziraphale and Crowley on their journey, the universe warps and their usual left and right side positioning switches during the magic show (not accidentally an act of trust and sacrifice required both from the angel and the demon). They stay so throughout the next scene, which is their little dance in the air, and after they seemingly get settled on the A. Z. Fell and Co.’s roof and back to normal, the flipped sky in the background suggests that something’s not quite right yet. In the central part of the shot looms a large, humanlike shadow of the Elephant Trunk Nebula.

The nebula is a part of a constellation called Cepheus, after an Ethiopian king from the Greek mythology who agreed to sacrifice his only daughter in order to appease the gods and end a local calamity started by her mother and his wife, Cassiopeia (talk about generational responsibility). With time and a delightfully ironic twist of fate, the name of said daughter, Andromeda, became more famous than that of her father. Although she was chained up to a rock and offered to the sea serpent Cetus, the girl was spotted by the warrior Perseus, casually flying over the sea — either on the back of the Pegasus or thanks to a pair of winged sandals — after his victory over Medusa. He fell in love on the spot, defeated the serpent (with the help of a magical sword or Medusa’s severed head, depending on the varying sources), and freed the princess. That’s not exactly where their story ends, but we won’t be getting into the rest here.

Not surprisingly, Neil has mentioned two parallel child sacrifice stories from the biblical context back in August. The first is one of the big ones — The Binding of Isaac. God's command to sacrifice Isaac, his only son, was a test of Abraham's faith. The angel of the Lord intervenes and provides a ram to be sacrificed in the boy’s place.

The second one isn’t nearly as popular, but you might have heard a variant of it in fairy tales or as the Law of Surprise invoked in The Witcher saga. In exchange for Israel’s victory over its enemies in battle, Jephthah had rashly promised God to repay the debt with the first thing seen on his return back home. The victorious warrior didn’t suspect to see his only child moving innocently "to meet him with timbrels and with dances" though. In horror, Jephthah covered his eyes with his cloak, but to no avail: ultimately, he was forced to honor his vow to God, and the girl was sacrificed. As grisly as it might look like in the Old Master’s paintings, it’s important to remember that human sacrifices weren’t limited to physical offerings only — Jephthah’s daughter might have been offered to God in the sense of officially shunning her family and dedicating her life to service instead, probably sequestered in a temple somewhere.

Interestingly, the main character of a big chunk of the Bible and the reason for the Second Coming happens to be THE most influential child sacrifice in the modern history. You know, a certain 33-year-old carpenter sent by his Heavenly Father to die on a cross for the sins of the mankind? Someone better call Aubrey Thyme ASAP.

Circling back to Aziraphale, he could be also seen as a representative of the concept of filial piety, since Eden willing to personally take a Fall not only for the humanity’s collective or individual transgressions, but the shortcomings of his Ineffable Parental Figure as well. Our favorite angel angel always fights for what is right and good, sure, but why would that be even a thing if God was truly omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent?

If Aziraphale’s medal is anything to go by, it looks like we might get an answer from the way it’s introducing another mythological narrative into the game, that is the story of Daedalus and Icarus. The most absorbing thing about this is the stark contrast to the recurring child sacrifice references for S3 mentioned in this post — Daedalus isn’t a father who wanted to sacrifice his son, it was his attempt to save him from imprisonment that ultimately drove Icarus to his death. The boy ignored his father’s explicit instructions, committing the grave and culturally universal sin of disobedience to one's parents that simply couldn’t go unpunished, one way or another.

But Icarus’s transgression could be seen both as high-flying ambition and striving for personal accomplishment as well as humanitarian sacrifice for knowledge and humanity’s advancement in general.

Similarly to a certain angel who left everything for what superficially seems like a work promotion, but is the ultimate act of love — both for his demon and the children they have been protecting and nurturing together for six thousand years. From the very Beginning, his white wings have been shielding everything he holds dear in this world.

One for sorrow.

Julian Silvera deals in death, the Silveras have always dealt in death. Tasked with keeping the balance between all things, Jules has been settling hauntings since he was twelve years old. But now settled himself in the small town of Endhaven, Pennsylvania, the balance is tipping and he is failing to set it right. There's something wrong in the Magpie Wood. Something that involves an oblivious boy with a god at his heels. And an all too knowing girl with an old debt wrapped around her throat.

Seven for a secret never told.

Isaac Grayland thinks his mother may be dead. It's hard to tell when she's humming in the kitchen and buried in the backyard at the same time. He thinks she may have been dead for a while. He thinks she might be getting stronger.

Thirteen beware it's the devil himself.

Corinn Kin dreams of rot and ruin. She dreams of the forest creeping ever closer, consuming everything in its wake. She dreams of despair. She dreams of hope. Corinn Kin dreams of magpies, thirteen of them to be exact.

Annelise Argent ✤ We Remain

Annelise Argent is used to moving. She barely bats an eye when she returns home from school to find everything she owns in boxes; most of which she hadn’t bothered to unpack from her last move. City to city, town to town, they’ve all blurred together and Annelise has long since stopped planting roots anywhere she goes. But when she gets to Beacon Hills for the first time, she has no idea that her family has already planted roots there. Roots in the form of a burnt husk of a house, a furious young man, and a traumatized coma patient. Roots that have spent years growing and spreading; roots that wrapped themselves around the Argent twins the moment they set foot in Beacon Hills.

Introduction!!

Hello, my name is Misty!!

My interest include history, astronomy, science, and music!

People (nonfictional and fictional) I am especially Interested in are: Sir Isaac Newton, Gregory Peck, George Harrison, Sir Brian May, and John Marston.

I like to edit, talk, sew, and I’m learning how to draw.

I would like to restate that I am NOT nor have I ever claimed to be a historian; all my knowledge of Isaac Newton has come from (more than likely outdated) documentaries. I have bought some books about him but they are yet to arrive. I’ve only had an interest in him for a couple months.

I would LOVE to be your friend and I never mean to offend anyone. Sometimes I ramble on or if I am scared I’ll accidentally offend you I am quick to block without explanation. (This is not a regular occurrence)

I am not homophobic or racist and neither will be tolerated by me period.

Pls feel free to message me or ask questions!
