Aziraphale's bibles
Have you ever noticed how many bibles Aziraphale has just lying about? So. Many. Bibles. Oodles of bibles! In S1 we only saw two, one on top of the desk that he used for checking the number of the beast in Revelations; and the other one on the desk surface, right behind his angel mug when he sat to read The Book (not that book, the other book, the one with the true prophecies).
In S2, we see no less than five bibles on his desk alone and more around the bookshop.
The first one is on the left, right under the little "For the Young: Hymns for Church and Home, with Forms of Services" book, which incidentally opens to: "So shall no wicked thing draw near, To do us harm or cause us fear." (This angel has no shame).
Then there are three more in the desk's middle compartments. One, with a green cover, is on the left slot, right above the tray with pens (this one is a New Testament only). The other two, both with black covers, are right behind the mug, where the RadioTimes watermark is. They look identical but they could be two volumes of the same edition or two different editions. We can probably assume one of these is supposed to be the one from S1. The desk in S1 didn't have compartments, it had drawers so there were no books in that area.
The last one is the on on top of the desk, on the right. This would be the same he used in S1 (although the bible itself is different)
On his right side, sometimes he has an easel where he displays a large book. This is not a bible itself, but an illustrated book of biblical motifs. Sometimes it is closed and sometimes it is open. He normally has it on the Adam and Eve page (cheeky!) but in Ep 2 he opened it to the Book of Job page instead.
There is yet another one in the shelf that Gabriel Jim is organizing
And there is one more in the first backroom (the one with the computer where he talks with Gabriel and Sandalphon). It is on a little table by the door of the private backroom (the one where he confers with Crowley in)
But there is a set of bibles that are even more important to him than any of the other ones. Although the show never mentioned it, the book tells us that in addition to his passion for prophecy books, he also loves and collects misprinted bibles*:
"And he had a complete set of the Infamous Bibles, individually named from errors in typesetting. These Bibles included the Unrighteous Bible, so called from a printerâs error which caused it to proclaim, in I Corinthians, âKnow ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God?â; and the Wicked Bible, printed by Barker and Lucas in 1632, in which the word not was omitted from the seventh commandment, making it âThou shalt commit Adultery.â There were the Discharge Bible, the Treacle Bible, the Standing Fishes Bible, the Charing Cross Bible and the rest. Aziraphale had them all. Even the very rarest, a Bible published in 1651 by the London publishing firm of Bilton and Scaggs."
This collection of bibles is hiding in plain sight and readily on hand. Just ask Jim!
The rest are right there on Aziraphale's desk. The tags are hard to read but I found, from right to left, The Treacle Bible, The Discharge Bible, The Unrighteous Bible, then three that I couldn't decipher, the Standing Fishes Bible and The Charing Cross Bible. One of those three is supposed to be the Buggre All This Bible, but none of the tags seemed to fit.
*All the bibles mentioned are real except for the Charing Cross Bible and the Buggre Alle This Bible which in the GO world was printed by Bilton and Scaggs, the publishing company that also printed The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. I have a whole post about Bilton and Scaggs if interested. Now, looking back to S1, as part of his restoring the world, Adam replaced Aziraphale's misprinted bibles with Just William books. Let that sink in... Adam moved Aziraphale's bibles from their righteous place. No wonder Crowley realized it right away. These are Aziraphale's bibles for Go- for Sat- for Somebody's sake!
Fortunately by S2 everything was back to normal.

đïžSaint Peter Redesignđ
Since when âWelcome to heavenâ episode came out I always thought St.Peter would look like I was shocked and confused since when did St.PETER BECAME A BASIC WHITE MAN LIKE WHAT???
I was uncomfortable when he started singing I CANNOT STAND THIS TWINK THAT MOAN IN EVERY SONG LIKE WTF.
Iâm not a Christain but I cannot believe Viv would make another religious figure white like why didnât she properly read the bible and look up on the internet about Peter?!
I really donât believe that is Saint Peter that is a different character with a different personality.
I decided to make him bible accurate to his redesign I made him look old and wise.
His voice would be Anton Chigurh from No Country from an old man
I added some fish surrounding his sunny looking halo that he used to be a fisherman in his past life.
The holes on his palm shows that he have been crucified on the cross upside down.
Heâs a part rooster angel since the rooster symbolises vigilance and protection for Jesus prophecy.
The blue and yellow robes make him look accurate.
I replaced light blue to dark brown lineart to make him suitable to the warm colour of heaven.
His beard and hair mimicked the water and clouds flowing due to flying and levitation off the ground.

đȘ±Wiggly Worm Wednesday!đȘ±
having thoughts about eddie and steve going to visit steveâs grandmother! (im spending the week with my nanna and am having thoughts)
It starts with this nebulous idea that Steveâs parents didnât want to take care of Francescaâs mother after her husband died, so they moved Steveâs maternal grandmother to a 65+ community in Sun City, Arizona. Just like their son, theyâd much rather ship off Frannyâs mother instead of dealing with her needs. So, they leave sweet Cecilia in a massive 2,900 square foot condo in the Arizona desert, all by herself.
One afternoon in march, Steve gets a call from his Nonna. She explains she has had some plumbing issues and neither Franny, nor Richard is returning her calls. She complains that thereâs palm fronds in her yard, and with the state of her back, she just canât fix all of these things on her own.
âHow do you feel about a trip to Arizona?â Steve would ask Eddie, after a two-and-a-half hour long conversation with his grandmother.
Thusly, a PanAm flight to Phoenix was booked. It was Eddieâs first time on a plane. Despite his nerves prior to getting on the flight, he has a marvelous time. Eddie discovers that he loves turbulence and puts his hands up and giggles the whole time.
Steve, to Eddieâs dismay, is the exact opposite. He squeezes the armrest the entire 3.5 hour flight. He canât stand how relaxed Eddie is, not understanding how someone like Eddie could just be so calm.
Once they land, Steve tries to brief Eddie on his Nonnaâs disposition. âSheâs sort of a firecracker, Eddie. Very particular about pretty much everything. Iâm sorry if sheâs mean to you.â
Eddie tells him not to worry about it, assures him theyâll get through the weekend.
To Steveâs delight (and Eddieâs utter surprise), Nonna takes to Eddie like a fish to water. He can talk about the Bible with her. Wayneâs been pretty devout his whole life, so when Eddie makes a comment about her dish towel with Philippians 4:6-7 printed on it, Steve knows Eddieâs going to practically be family.
Cece is ecstatic to be able to show the boy pictures of Italia and tell him stories about her upbringing. She shows him pictures of Franny, pictures of her late husband, and her collection of photos of Steveâs baptism. It keeps Cece distracted, while Steve gets to work fixing her kitchen plumbing.
Steve canât help but grin to himself like a madman as he tinkers with her pipes, listening to his Nonna and his boyfriend volley back and forth. Sharp as whips, the both of them, and god it was nice to watch Eddie get on with someone who was blood to him.
Steve didnât have much family that bothered to be in his life.
It was nice.
And best of allâ at least for Nonnaâ Eddie can eat her food. Eddie can seriously put it away. Steve stops after one helping of Parmigiana di Melanzane, but Eddie has two more servings, and saves room for dessert.
âEat up, Edoardo,â Cece pats his cheek. âToo skinny, Stephano. You starving him?â
âNever, Nonna,â Steve laughs, shaking his head, watching Eddie shovel another spoonful into his mouth, grinning at Steve across the dining room table.
Despite the fact that theyâve been seeing each other for a few months, after dancing around each other for the better part of two yearsâEddieâs feeling things about Steve fixing his grandmas plumbing, doing yard work, etc. The flush in Steveâs face, hands on his hips, complaining about the state of the yard: Eddieâs never felt more in love (and other tingly, warm sensations).
Further, Eddie watches Steve and Cece scream at each other in stilted Italian as she tries to pick up a scorpion and take it outside with her bare hands. Finally, after about forty-five seconds of screaming and the scorpion trying to wiggle away, Steve takes Eddieâs boot and smacks the thing with a scared squeal. It crunches under the sole and twitches a few times before dying on the salmon colored tile, guts splattered everywhere.
âYou handled that well,â Eddie muses, once the whole ordeal is over, taking a dishcloth and floor cleaner, scrubbing at the thingâs guts.
âI couldnât let her get stung. Sheâs seventy-nine!â Steve says, then shudders. âI never wanna do that again.â
Later that night, Eddie sips coffee out of a lumpy clay mug, a Stephano Original, while she and Steve play rummy. Catching eyes over the table, they smile at each other, knowingly. After a while, Eddie gets tired, slinking off to the office, where Cecilia had set him up with an air mattress.
Before Steve retires to the spare bedroom that night, his Nonna pulls him aside, wrapping him in a warm hug.
âTi voglio,â She whispers, kissing his temple, smoothing his hair back.
âI love you too,â Steve answers quietly, thrown off by the unexpected display of affection.
âAnd,â She pauses, scrunching her dark eyebrows together, deciding exactly what to say. âI really like that boy, Stephano.â
Steveâs chest fills with warmth, not knowing exactly if she means what he hopes she means. But at that moment, heâll take it.
âMe, too, Nonna.â He whispers, grinning at her. âMe, too.â

Waiting For The Sun
Chapter One
Rhett Abbott has been hearing his soulmate in his head for ten years. She's the sweetest thing, nicknamed Muffin after her love of baking. Rhett doesn't know who Muffin is, doesn't know where she is, but hearing her voice always makes his day better. But then Trevor Tillerson is killed and Rhett's life is thrown into chaos. Through it all, Muffin in there for her soulmate. She wants nothing more than to find him, even through the chaos.
Soulmate AU Warnings: talks of religion
Series Masterlist
Sheâd been hearing the same voice in her head since she was fourteen years old. It had been jarring at first, hearing someone else's commentary from a rodeo she wasn't even attending. Whoever this person was had some really strong opinions about the bull riders they had been watching.
So jarring, in fact, that she went running to her mother, terrified. "Momma!" She cried as she ran down the stairs of the family farmhouse. "I'm hearin' voices!"
Her mother said nothing as she folded her newspaper and looked across the room, looked to her husband. Fourteen years old was too young to be hearing the voice of your soulmate, they both thought. But they couldn't have been much older when the writing first appeared on their own arms.
Her sister laughed. "That's your soulmate speaking to you, idiot," she said as she looked up from her book for just a moment. Normally, her mother would have scolded her for such language, but there were bigger fish to fry.
"My... what?" She asked, still standing on the bottom step of the stairs.
Her mother shuffled over, creating some space for her on the couch. She patted the space between herself and her eldest daughter, signalling for her youngest to come and sit between them. "Sweetie, it's time somebody told you about soulmates," she said gently.
As her youngest sat, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing the raised skin her of own soulmate mark. It used to be a tattoo, the first words her soulmate would ever say to her marked on her skin in black ink. The mark was supposed to remain there for the rest of her life, but tattoos were something she was against, something she and her husband saw as a sin. She had the tattoo removed, leaving raised skin as the only races of what was. "What did it say?" Her youngest daughter asked as she hesitantly lifted her fingers to trace over the raised skin.
She sucked in a breath and read out the passage from the bible that her husband had used to win her over. "'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all'," she said and pulled her sleeve back down to cover up her past sins. "Those were the first words your father said to me, and that was how I knew he was my soulmate."
She looked across the room, at her husband. He was usually quiet, and this was no different. He said nothing as he watched them, so still his wife wondered if he was even listening.
"What has your soulmate said?" The eldest daughter asked. Her bookmark was in her book, which she placed down on the little round table beside the couch. "Has he at least said anything interesting?"
The youngest of the two shrugged her shoulders. "Nothin' too interestin' yet," she said and her mother gave her the side eye. She cleared her throat and tried again, this time pronouncing her G's. "I think he was at the rodeo," she mumbled and fiddled with her fingers. "Seemed to know a lot about bull ridin'."
Suddenly, her sister was sitting a little straighter. "A rodeo in Amelia County?"
She shrugged her shoulders.
Before the girls could continue with this conversation, their father cleared his throat, making his presence known. Well, his presence was always known in that house. "Time for bed, girls," he said in his usual gruff voice. "We've got church in the morning."
Both girls bowed their heads as they walked up the stairs and disappeared into their bedrooms.
***
That was ten years ago, the night her soulmate first spoke to her. She didn't speak back to him right away, didn't know how. As soon as her soulmate realised that someone else was there, trying to talk to him, he taught her how.
Neither of them had shut up since, it seemed.
Mornin', came the groggy voice of her soulmate.
The moment his voice filled her head, she couldn't help but smile. It had become a routine, waiting for him to wake up and then grinning when his voice filled her head. Morning, sleepyhead, she said, not looking up from her flowers. Are you aware that it's ten in the morning?
It is? Ah, shit.
Language, she scolded, but she knew he could hear her laugh. It was something he said every day, several times a day. Each time she scolded him, and each time he called her cute.
There was a break before he responded. She could see it in her mind, a faceless man rolling out of bed and pulling a shirt over his muscular chest. He'd place a Stetson on his head, a black on, pat his dog on the head, and go out to work on a ranch.
What is my Muffin doin' today? He asked as she used her trowel to dig a hole in her flower patch.
She looked up as her neighbour climbed out of his truck, where he'd undoubtedly slept. Rhett Abbott. There was a time, back when she was eighteen, that she thought Rhett was her soulmate. But those thoughts, that... hope, didn't last long. Not when she saw the way Rhett looked at Maria Olivares. There was no doubt in her mind that they, Rhett and Maria, were soulmates.
She didn't answer his question. What she was doing was boring and uninteresting. So, instead, she asked, Do you ever think about how it's been ten years and we haven't met yet? I mean, I don't even know if you're in-
But her soulmate didn't hear the rest of it, couldn't hear the rest of it. They'd figured out the rules quickly. they couldn't say names, places or any physical descriptions. Nothing that could aid them in finding each other. They'd meet when the universe was good and ready for it. That was God's plan, after all.
It wasn't the first time she'd said it to her soulmate. And, every time, he knew exactly what to say. Muffin, it's okay, he said to her. When we meet, I'll take you out for dinner. Breakfast for dinner, he promised.
She couldn't help but laugh. You always know just what to say, she said to him as she put her trowel down and pulled her gloves away from her fingers (it was so hot in Wyoming, she couldn't stand to wear her gardening gloves for very long. Not unless she wanted her hands to be all sweaty and pruney).
Go on, Muffin. Tell me what you're up to, he said, his voice sounding like a mumble in her head.
She held up the sunflower she had been growing for the last few weeks. Do you remember the sunflower growing competition I'm holding with the youth group? She asked and he let out a hum. Well, I'm planting my sunflower in my garden.
Holy fuck, he immediately said. You're so damn cute.
Language! But, again, she was laughing. But then the laughter stopped. Oh shoot! I got soil on my dress and now it's all dirty, she grumbled as she stood and brushed the dirty away from the blue skirt of her dress.
He let out another hum. Bet you still look great, he said in her mind.
It had been ten years. Ten year of them knowing each other without ever meeting. They'd learnt everything there was to know about each other, without knowing who the other was. And he knew exactly how to push her buttons, but in the best way. He knew exactly how to get her giggling like a school girl, not like the twenty four year old woman she was.
They talked through the morning, as they did every morning. When his employer had him counting cattle, she helped to keep track of the numbers. But then she was heading inside, grabbing the grocery list her mother had stuck on the fridge, grabbing her keys, and heading out.
You should get those cosmic brownie things you like, he said as she started her car.
It took a moment of turning the key before the engine came to life. Not on the list, she said as she began driving away from her family's property. You know how my mother gets.
I know, Muffin, he replied as she drove up the rode, drove past the Abbott Ranch. And there was Rhett Abbott, riding on his usual black horse. She gave him the polite smile and he tipped his hat, a sign of two acquaintances that barely knew each other.
As soon as Rhett had ridden off, her soulmate was back in her head. But you deserve a treat!
She let out a hum of her own, a habit she had picked up from him. I'm gonna make muffins for bible study later, she said as she drove into town.
Flavour? He asked as she pulled up outside of The Handsome Gambler. She'd never stepped a foot inside, might have been one of the only people in Wabang that hadn't .
A smile played on her lips as she walked into the store, reusable bag stuffed into the tote bag on her shoulder. Walking around the store, she had never felt so naked. All because of some damned stain left by soil. Muffin? You still there? He asked.
Shit, sorry.
That's my girl.
There was no point in trying to hide her smile. Blueberry, he said, answering his question from earlier.
Having her soulmate in her head while she was grocery shopping wasn't easy, not in the slightest. He threw out suggestions that had her damn near reaching for the stuff. Stuff that wasn't on her mothers list, stuff that would have had her mother angry.
Twenty Four year old and still scared of her parents. It was pathetic.
Not pathetic, Muffin. I don't wanna be hearin' that shit.
She couldn't help but apologise, even if he wouldn't hear it. How many times had he said 'my Muffin don't apologise for nothin'' over the years? When she wandered over to the checkout, he was quiet, let her count the cash in her purse. And then, as she loaded the groceries into the car, he was humming. It was a song she didn't recognise from the tune alone. But it was sweet and it was comforting.
It was him.
If you enjoyed this, please feel free to buy me a coffee

Archangel Raphael
Is it Crowley? Is it Aziraphale?
What if I said he is the both of them?
I know a little out there thing to say but itâs a theory iâve had hanging around in the back of my head for a while now because the thing is,
Crowley seems to have held the rank Raphael has but Aziraphale shows more of his actions.
These two theories have been around for a while and at no point am I trying to take away from what people have put together. This is just for fun and silly purposes. and I wasnât kidding when I said Iâve had this theory for a while and just didnât know how to put it in words so it might not be the best.
But letâs just start with who is Archangel Raphael
Raphael
The Angelic Prince of Healing
Well letâs start at the beginning, or well before the beginning.
According to the Midrash Konen, before he was Raphael he was the angel Libbiel.
In this God gathers all their angels before Adam is created and hears their opinions. While some angels praised God for their creation others spoke out against it. The Angel of Love and the Angel of Justice were both in favor while the Angel of Truth and the Angel of Peace both objected.
For this the Angel of Truth is cast out Heaven by God. God then summoned a band of angels under Michael, Gabriel, and Libbiel. Both of the bands under Michael and Gabriel scornfully called out against the creation of man and were too cast out. Libbiel seeing what happened to those bands warned his own to call out in favor of creation of man and thus was rewarded with the new name, Raphael, for his efforts.
Raphael, the rescuer, Angelic prince of Healing.
This is just one story of Raphael, if we take a step outside religion but still the very important book, Paradise Lost by John Milton, we can find Raphael there as well.
He is the angel that comes to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to warn them against temptation. Through him we hear about the rebellion and war in Heaven. He eats with Adam and Eve and doesnât just directly quote God but rather shares his own views and opinions.
An interesting and very important take on Raphael but letâs just jump back into the religious stuff.
In the First Book of Enoch he is the angel over the spirits of men and set over all diseases and wounds. He was instructed to bind Azazel and heal the Earth that has been corrupted by the Watchers.
In the bible Raphael was one of the three angels that appeared to Abraham in the oak grove of Mamre. His task was the heal Abraham and save Lot. (Genesis)
Though not identified with name he is credited to be the angel who periodically stirred the pool of Bethesda (John)
His main story though comes from the Book of Tobit. He acts as a guide on Tobiasâs journey to Sarah disguised as a human peasant. On this journey they gut a fish that they then end up later using to expel the demon, Asmodus, and heal his father, Tobit. This is the story where most of his depictions come from including the one above.
In Jewish text, under the name Israfil, he is depicted as the angel who stands eternally with a trumpet on his lips waiting and ready to announce the day of judgement.
Wooh that was a quick run down. (pls correct me if any of this was wrong) But moving on for now.
Title Sequence
Disclaimer: Not main supporting evidence. Secondary at best. Really just something interesting that didnât fit anywhere else.
Now before we get into how this all connects in the show I wanted to make stop to point out something from the s1 TS that I have never been able to explain away.
Both of them getting sucked up into the spaceship and then it burst into fish.
Fish huh? InterestingâŠ
Gabrielâs Trial
This is the part that gives us some of the biggest pieces of evidence for a Very Highranking AngelCrowley.
Before we even get to the trial we have Crowley able to get into the file that only a throne, dominion, or above could access.
Then we have Gabriel saying he is âthe only first order archangel in the room, or yknow the universeâ with the immediate cut to Crowley. Visually this is a very obvious signal that this is something to pay attention to, foreshadowing that something is not right with this statement.
The clip above also gives us that this being would have been considered a Prince of Heaven.
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and the last three kinda vary. But we are just going to focus on these four anyway since that seems to be the number the show likes.
The only one missing from those four is Raphael and it seems that the Metatron still holds quite the grudge and memory of this beingâŠ.*cut to Metatron glaring at Crowley*
But there is also something else we learn in this Trial.
That the name Gabriel is tied to his angelic status, a name he was about to lose along with his memories. A name he does end up losing while he doesnât have his memories, getting replaced with Jim.
But one thing I did want to mention in this section before leaving, even if it didnât happen during Crowleyâs trip to Heaven, was when Michael says âthere is always a Supreme Archangel.â
All of this has some very interesting implications of what happened in the past, and letâs not forget that Aziraphale was battling demons while all this was happening.
Now though that this has all been laid out letâs get into the meat of this.
Aziraphale and Crowley
yknow for this being about them I havenât talked about them a lot lol. But letâs start at the beginning of them, the time one became two.
Originally they were written as one character, a fallen angel, until it was eventually changed into the two characters we know and love, Aziraphale and Crowley.
Now Iâm not claiming to know what was going on in their heads during the creation process, just that the absence of a single prominent archangel when they were originally a single character isâŠinteresting.
but thatâs what got me thinking.
In Before the Beginning there doesnât really seem to be a rank system more along the lines of groups that have certain jobs in the creation process of the universe. Not saying there wasnât a ranking system but I doubt it was as large and complex as it is in present day.
However there is no denying the parallels that Gabriel and Crowley play to each other, particularly with their Angelic Ranking.
So what Iâm proposing is that yes, Crowley was a very high ranking angel, perhaps on the same level as Gabriel - an angel named Raphael.
But he Fell, his name taken away from him in the process and he became Crawley.
With this though it left a space open, a Raphael shaped space up in Heaven and History. The Job of who Raphael was supposed to be.
A job that another certain angel seems to take up through his actions, Aziraphale.
Aziraphaleâs name quite literally means âhelper of Raphaelâ which technically he did do when he helped start up the star factory.
but even in that moment it was the two of them doing a job that was supposed to be only meant for one.
Itâs a theme they continue throughout their years together, they cancel each other out, they take to doing each others jobs that never tip off the other side. They are the most powerful when they are working together, helping to stop Armageddon and the 25 Lazarii miracle they perform together. Two sides of the same, single coin.
The spot for Raphael was only meant to be held by one, the place Crowley held before the Fall. The place Aziraphale took up in the aftermath. There is always a Raphael.
However one does not just lose the power of being a first order archangel hence why Crowley is still so powerful.
The only one to realize this - The Metatron and well probably God too. Hence the need for at least Aziraphale back up in Heaven, as well as just keeping an eye on him.
and this really all just makes me want to point out that after Armageddon was diverted and they were out there on the bench and Crowley asks if God,
âPlanned it all like this, very beginning.â
and I canât help but say, yes. Two angels designed for the same role, one fallen and one not. Together they are complete and bound through history. Together they are the most powerful. ïżŒ
#good omens#good omens 2#aziraphale#crowley#aziracrow#good omens meta#good omens theory#good omens speculation#good omens analysis#archangel raphael#could i care less about what crowleyâs angel name was? yes. this is just a silly little theory#the likely hood of this playing out is very slim

Thinking about old Worst Wolverine being called by each of the X men individually after they have a falling out because Logan injured a child very badly to the point the only reason they didn't die is because another classmates healing abilities all while he just... walked away.
Well- ran.. away... leaving a child to die. He's tried to explain thousands of times that he blacked out, that he didn't remember doing any of this. He tries to say that maybe it was someone else, that mystique did this shit all the time in his universe.
"Yeah, well!? This isn't your universe! Because the REAL Logan would never do this.." Scott screams at him as Logan leaves the Mansion for the last time. He doesn't come back. He didn't even get to tell his Xkits goodbye. It got to the point where Laura dropped out, taking Gabby with her, wanting nothing to do with the school anymore.
So now, here he is. In Maine, an old fisherman, part-time hunter, and the only people he lets around him have healing factors.
He lives with Wade, who still- by the way- doesn't have any grey hairs (maybe because hes bald but- yk)
One night, while Logan is out, making himself feel useful by feeding the small town they're in, providing for more poor families, feeding their children's hungry mouths and asking nothing in return but respect. (It gets to the point that the children cheer when they see Logan, wanting to hug him, but he growls at them to get off, too afraid of hurting them) Wade finally awnsers the ringing phone.
"What." There's vemon in his tone, but soon his eyes widden, and he frowns.
Walking outside he stands there a moment, knowing Logan can hear him.
He ignores him, looking at the fish, litsening, his breathing slowing as he skewers some with his claws. Its not exactly spear fishing but- close.
"What?" His voice is almost annoyed, as if knowing what his long time Husband was about to ask him.
"Logan.."
"No."
"Logan-"
He shakes his head. "Don't care."
"...She's missing."
He pauses, turning after scraping the dead fish into a bucket. "Who's missing?"
"There's a little girl missing."
"So?"
"Logan!"
"I'm not helping them, Wade. That's final." He growls.
For a moment, Wade frowns, but he didn't learn to obey thy husband like the bible said.
He never did.
"Logan, there's a 6 year old out there. All alone. Cold. Probably going to be eaten by wolves!" He shouts from the back porch, knowing his place enough to stay here and not come near his fish. Even after all these years, Logan was still finicky over his food. "And all because some old fart won't help her!"
The silence thickened as Logan thought about it, the hero side of his brain yelling 'We'll find her!' And the hurt old part of him saying 'That's not my buisness.'
".. You find her then." He compromises.
"I can't! And if anyone knows those Canadian woods, it's you! You said you knew those forests like the back of your hand!" Wade protests. "If I could smell someone through miles of freezing snow, I would. But I can't. So here I am, asking The Wolverine to go do what he does best."
He grunts, glaring. "And that is?"
"Helping a little girl get back to her mommy..." Wade says, knowing that he was sold. He knew he was sold the moment he told him to do it himself. "She doesn't have much time, Logan." He sighs, putting a cherry on top.
The greyed man huffed, grumbling under his breath for a moment. "Who will stay here with the dog?"
"Gabby can! She loves gabs." Gott'em.
"What about Laura? Why can't she find her?"
Shit.
"Logan, Laura has barley been in those woods. You've lived in them for years. So. What will it be. Pull up your panties and go save a little girls life? Or do it anyway when our baby girl gets lost too?"
Logan scoffs, disappointed. "..She wouldn't get lost.."
"She would if the scent kept being blown away.."
Wade adds, seeing the 'god damn it, he's right.' look on the old mans brow.
He lets out a large sigh. "...I don't want any help."
"Oh well too fucking bad bucko, I'm gonna go pack my snow suit!"
"No! I mean... I donât want any help from THEM.."
"No promises. I'm not letting poor Susie die just because you have a grudge. Now put your fish in the freezer and lets go! They're coming to pick us up-"
"I ain't flying!!" Logan snarls, watching as his lover ran off, having a deep feeling that he would be in the air shortly..

Hi đ
I would like to worship Artemis, i've looking and investigate about hellenic polytheism and i have a special bond with the Delian triad (Artemis, Apollon and Leto), i love them, but i'm new in this and i want to start first with Artemis...
How i could start? How do you begin with her? I don't know how to start and what i have to do... Could you help me? I see how is your relationship with her and i love it âš
Khaire! đ«
So excited to hear about your interest in the trio!! They all hold very special places in my heart, so I love to hear when other people find them as well!
However, although I consider Apollo(n) to be my spiritual father and Leto to be my spiritual grandmother, the relationship I have with Artemis is an intersection of mother, sister, best friend, love of my life, spiritual mistress, queen, ect...so I will be approaching this from a more Artemis focused perspective lol. Hope that's okay!!
First, I would strongly recommend reading She Who Hunts: Artemis: The Goddess Who Changed the World by Carla Ionescu for a really solid, comprehensive overview of her worship. Understanding her history and domains can be very helpful in understanding Artemis as a goddess. Apollo(n) and Leto are featured in it, but mostly in relation to her.
Theoi.com is a good overall resource, but I would recommend sticking to 'scholarly' or peer-reviewed sources as much as possible when trying to get historical information about her cults, worship, and associated religious practices. The same goes for Apollo(n) and Leto.
In terms of personal practice stuff, it took me years to really forge the connection and relationship I have with her how. She can be prickly in certain ways. Her energy is as intense and wild as anything I've ever experienced. Early on, it felt like getting close to a roaming wolf or a hunting lioness. But once you bridge that gap, she's as protective and loves with as much ferocity as a mother bear. Apollo(n) and Leto were a bit less distant, even in the early days - at least for me. So take your time. Don't rush things with any of them, but most specifically not with Artemis lol.
In terms of activities/stuff she likes, I can list some random, everyday ways I connect with her!
- Being out in the moonlight, walking with the nightroaming critters đđŠ
- Going on nature walks, hikes, or just sitting outside! Touching grass really works haha
- Work on healing your 'inner child' through shadow work, but mostly importantly through therapy if it's accessible
- Taking care of and/or spending time with animals
- Reading her myths
- 'Ecstatic' dance. She shares a connection with The Mousai (The Muses) and to singing and music in general - a domain she shares with her brother
- Anything involved in childcare and/or childbirth
- Practicing archery
- Standing up for yourself
- Appericating solitude/independence
- Listening to folk music, lol. She loves The Amazing Devil
- Of course, connecting with others close to her helps! Apollo(n) and Leto are the most obvious ones, but she also has close ties to Hekate, Kybele, Dionysus, Persephone, Demeter, Zeus, Athene, Pan, and many more both inside and outside of her 'main' pantheon.
- In terms of symbols and stuff I've found she likes for her altars, she loves deer, bear, dog, fish, boar, and wolf imagery in particular. I associate green, brown, grey, blue, and purple with her. She's loves amethyst. And of course she loves any nature-related offerings!
- I also love connecting everyday stuff with her - albeit in a UPG kind of way lol. I associate the movies Beasts of the Southern Wild and Princess Mononoke with her as well as A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shriely Jackson and that's all super UPG! Personalize your practice to you, your life, and your beliefs.
What matters most is fostering a relationship with a good foundation. As cliche as it sounds, it really can be about the journey rather than the destination when it comes to deity work. Enjoy yourself, be respectful, decide what you believe, and listen to the lessons she has to teach you. The rest will come naturally :)
Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions! May Artemis' arrow guide you always.
- Taylor đđčđŠ

If anyone is wondering, donald j. trump's self-destruction has been guaranteed since he stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. And even if he somehow actually won 2024 by 3 million votes, he still doesn't get to be President of the United States. Hillary Clinton, and the whole world, is going to laugh SO HARD at Dumb donald Chump! I certainly am!

Bible/TANAKH Study: 11/6/2024: 02:50 AM EST: When asking about why and if the Abrahamic G-d gave the United States and the world over to donald trump and his global dictator allies: TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 56 Genesis 26:13 And the Lord was standing beside him and He said, "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac: The ground on which you are lying I will assign to you and to your offspring.
So let's gather together and speak how trump failed in this tremendously joyous holiday tale.
It began with Russia and Clinton's e-mails; and a Stormy affair that could send him to jail.
He stole it from Hillary, who won by three million; and now he salutes his J6ers in prison.
He thought MAGA SCOTUS forgave his insurrection, but missed that 3 judges actually fact-checked him.
He's appointing his cabinet like they're so inevitable; no compass of morals amidst those deplorables.
And just like with Thanos, we have this one chance; 'cause nothing is going to orange Thanos' plans.
He'll be like the Witch King from The Lord of the Rings when the truth is revealed on twelve seventeen.
And the President of the Senate unleashes her laugh as Kamala exclaims, "I AM NO MAN!,"
And just for orange Thanos, screamed in ALL CAPS, "ENJOY PRISON!," and "AUF WIEDERSEHEN, MY FRIEND!"

The moral of this story is this: there's a real chance that donald trump stealing the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton can come back to be the biggest curse of his life.
I don't know if we can even trust the election count due to donald trump stealing 2016 and attempting to steal 2020, but I'm fine with donald trump leading Kamala Harris by 3,000,000 votes; because now he'll get to see what it feels like to win by 3,000,000 and STILL lose the Presidency he needed to save his life and fortunes.
It's perfect justice; some might call it Karma! I'm calling it a most joyous and hillarious happy ending to one of the best holiday stories ever told in American history.

Adam and Eve? Meet the OG Couple: Manu and Shatrupa"
Everyoneâs heard of Adam and Eve, right? The couple that kicked off humanity in the Bible, the ones who got tempted, ate an apple, and changed the course of human history. But did you know they werenât the only âoriginal coupleâ story out there? Long before Adam and Eve became famous, Hindu history told the story of Manu and Shatrupa, the first man and woman, who played a similar foundational role in the creation of humanity.
So Who Were Manu and Shatrupa?
In Hinduism, considered by many to be the worldâs oldest religion and the origin of countless spiritual traditions, Manu is known as the first human being, created by Brahma, the god of creation. Often seen as the forefather of humanity, Manu laid down principles for human life, codified in the Manusmriti, one of the earliest guides to ethical and moral living.
Shatrupa, his partner, was also created by Brahma. Her name means âone with a hundred beautiful forms.â Together, Manu and Shatrupa were entrusted with populating the Earth, and unlike the story of Adam and Eve, thereâs no âfall from graceâ in their narrative. Instead, they are seen as co-creators, embodying partnership and responsibility in the establishment of human civilization.
A Creation Story That Inspired the World
While Adam and Eveâs story is familiar in the context of temptation and exile, Manu and Shatrupaâs journey is rooted in duty, harmony, and creation. According to Hindu texts, Manu wasnât just any manâhe was a wise and virtuous figure chosen to survive a great flood (yes, a flood story appears here too) and preserve the seeds of life to repopulate the world. In some versions, the god Vishnu, appearing as a fish, guides Manu through the flood, ensuring humanityâs survival.
Shatrupa, embodying adaptability and resilience, symbolizes the strength required to build a new world. Together, Manu and Shatrupa represent balanceâthe partnership needed for humanityâs survival and progress. They didnât face punishment or exile but instead were given a purpose: to help shape human life in a way that reflects dharma (moral duty) and balance.
The Original Inspiration for Abrahamic Stories?
Itâs fascinating to note that Hinduismâs ancient narratives may have served as inspiration for the later religious texts of Abrahamic religions. The parallels are hard to ignore: the concept of an original couple, a great flood, the repopulation of humanity, and even the guiding role of divine forces. The story of Manu and Shatrupa predates the Abrahamic texts by millennia, which suggests that the stories of Adam and Eveâand Noah, in the case of the floodâmay have evolved as interpretations or modifications of this original story from Hindu history.
In this way, Hinduism could be seen as the wellspring from which other creation stories emerged, with each new tradition adapting the themes of creation, partnership, and divine guidance in its own way. Hinduismâs influence, though often unacknowledged, runs deep, and Manu and Shatrupaâs story stands as a reminder of these ancient roots.
Why We Should Remember Manu and Shatrupa
Manu and Shatrupaâs story holds timeless lessons that extend beyond the narratives of temptation or punishment. Their tale isnât about falling out of divine favor but about collaboration, balance, and responsibility. They embody the values of harmony and resilience, trusted by the divine to guide the world. Manu represents dharma, while Shatrupa embodies adaptability. Together, they established a model of life that is still reflected in Hindu values.
The story of Manu and Shatrupa is a reminder that humanityâs origin stories vary across cultures, with each offering unique insights into our purpose and connection to the universe. So, while Adam and Eve might dominate the global stage, letâs not forget the original pair from Hindu history: Manu and Shatrupa, the ancient figures who paved the way for humanity long before other traditions came into being.

Let's Talk About Atom Eve
Invincible Spoilers and Gore CW Abound! Please watch this incredible series... So who is ATOM EVE?
I would love to talk about this, but first we have to talk about character design in Invincible. The costumes, personalities, and heroes of Invincible are all self-referential. Take the Guardians of the Globe for instance, the first heroes we see on-screen.
We see these people, and IMMEDIATELY we get what they're about... even if these characters are new to us, we KNOW who they are. Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Batman, Green Lantern, all obvious parodies and fun little characters.
I'm sure your eyes will start glazing over once I go "blah blah subverting tropes blah blah absolute genius." but one thing that Invincible does very well is destroying the audience's connections with established superhero tropes (See the one million white boy video essayists talking about why Evil Superman is awesome.) The reason why the slaughter of the Guardians of the Globe in that fucking THREE MINUTE LONG SCENE is so surprising is because THEY ARE THE FUCKING JUSTICE LEAGUE (while the fight scene also conveniently tosses some casual shade to DC Comics.) Not only is it stunning since we have some frame of reference for how powerful they are, but also stunning because we have ALREADY become attached to these characters.
What follows are a couple real quotes from people I've shown the first episode to: "Oh Batman + Silver Surfer that's awesome!" "OH DUDE! FISH AQUAMAN" "Wonder Woman but she's a lesbian.. as she should be..." .. and all these people, the ones with the most superhero experience, were the ones all most taken aback by the ending.
So let's look at Eve.
At first glance, we get the same impression as a lot of the heroes we meet in Invincible: knockoff. In the same way Omniman and the entirety of the Guardians of the Globe are made to resemble the Superman and the Justice League so to does Atom Eve's costume and powers SCREAM token. She is the first female hero we meet that is Mark's age and perhaps more importantly (and more evident to a first-time viewer) she has some very clear themes of femininity. Such as her costume, which Doc Seismic callously points out in Episode 3 (neglecting the fact she designed her own costume)...
... as well as her name. "Atom Eve" is a combination of her ability to influence atoms and her middle name, but it is also a reference to Adam and Eve (see the bible.) She even has a female symbol with two revolving electrons around it emblazoned right on her damn shirt. So just like the Guardians of the Globe, her design is meant to carry a lot of weight and immediacy to the viewer, you see them and you understand who they are and what they stand for (or at least you think you do.)
So we've seen the way that the Guardians subvert our expectations so how does Eve diverge from the audience's first-impressions? Well for the first couple episodes she doesn't. You might even suspect her of being some one-dimensional, neglected and under-characterized female character (and to be honest if you were reading the comics you wouldn't be too far off...) until you start to see her dissatisfied with being a superhero. Her boyfriend cheats on her, the Teen Team breaks up, her parents consistently disrespect and talk down to her, she's misunderstood by the naive and silly Mark Grayson, and she struggles to find connection with anyone outside of when she's "beating up bad guys." She even goes as far as to reject a position in the Guardians of the Globe just to avoid her ex-boyfriend, despite her killer tryout.
She's frustrated by the frame that's been left for her, and realizes her powers enable her to do much more than beat up random villains. Her powers BY THE WAY, which up until now anyone could have mistaken for "shooting pink stuff," is actually atomic manipulation. She can just fucking rearrange matter to make anything she wants. So instead of being a superhero she fucks off to do things that ACTUALLY help people. Like idk she could be irrigating rivers and feeding the starving or like manufacturing free medicine or something. Atom Eve is a hero who is chronically misunderstood by literally everyone around her, even in the final episode Mark is under the impression Eve just stopped being a superhero to get away from her ex, parents, and school. However with the earth-shattering familial trauma that Mark goes through in the Season 1 finale, maybe they will have more in-common than either of them think.
and NOW there's a surprise ATOM EVE SPECIAL EPISODE! it shows off her origin story which goes even more in-depth into her trauma, and her loss of the only people who even WOULD be capable of understanding her. It also has my FAVORITE FIGHT SCENE OF ALL TIME!!! It was absolutely incredible
ps: omg why tf did they make her far-shot model have an x over the female symbol instead of the detailed electrons (crying emoji) cool i didnt proofread this okay i might do more of these okay bye, i love this show okay

Breaking into Villainâs warehouse certainly wasnât easy, but Hero prided themself on getting things done. Villain was out, taking care of a gang apparently encroaching on the territory considered âtheirsâ, and Hero needed to know what Villainâs base of operations looked like. Needed to know what was going on inside, because anyone they found who might know anything was as hard to pry open as that plastic cup that Hero had accidentally wedged inside another cup the week before.Â
They didnât have time to focus on inconsequential side gigs- people were disappearing, and then reappearing weeks later, fished out of the river, their bodies ripped and torn and sewn and dissected. Hero needed to know who was taking them, where they were going, how they were being taken, and why. They were pretty certain they could answer the first question.Â
Thatâs what tonight was for.Â
Hero dropped to the ground, dead silent. The guards had passed on their rounds a full minute before, leaving Hero a cool fifteen minutes to get from their initial opening deeper into the building.Â
It wasnât smart to go in so blindly. They knew that. They also knew how many people were disappearing on average- two a week- and knew that if it was Villain, there wouldnât be any floor plans to speak of for the building. There was nothing.Â
At least they were able to search the whole hallway before getting caught.Â
One hand was on a doorknob to slide into the next room, the other on their throwing knives in case they were about to interrupt something, when someone behind them chuckled.Â
âWould you like a tour?â Villain asked. âIâm happy to give you one. Iâve been looking for a second pair of eyes.â They were standing in the darkened hallway behind Hero, leaning on the wall in a way that should have looked careless but came off as calculating. It was the same with their tone- flippant words that somehow felt ill-fitted to the person saying them.Â
âYouâre the one whoâs been running around the city asking about me,â Villain said. âIf you wanted to know something, you should have asked.âÂ
âYouâre the one whoâs been kidnapping all those people,â Hero shot back. They tried to spit the words, but the venom died on their tongue.Â
âIs that a statement or a question?â Villain said. They smiled, then, and Heroâs chest filled up with warmth. They smiled back. âWould you like to see them?âÂ
Hero nodded, stepping forwards. They slipped their knife back into their pocket. They didnât need it.Â
That wasnât right.Â
Hero stopped. Blinked. What were they thinking? Â
âStop it,â they said out loud.âÂ
Villain turned, an eyebrow raised. They smiled again, sharp teeth flashing, and Heroâs chest remained resolutely cold. Good.Â
âYouâre right. That was unfair of me.âÂ
The rumors were right. Very little was known for certain about Villain- how long they had been in town, how far their plans extended, what their ultimate goals were- but there were rumors that they could control thoughts.Â
âYou can control minds,â Hero stated.Â
âNo,â Villain said. âI control everything.âÂ
âReally. Can you control someoneâs will?âÂ
âAll a will is is someoneâs ability to control their emotions, their urges, their bodyâs responses. I control bodies. Every chemical you release, every signal your nerves sense. I control your will.â They leaned in. âWant me to make you beg?â
They were going to have to try a lot harder if they wanted a reaction out of Hero. âYou seem awfully fine with me breaking into your base,â they observed.Â
âEven the best of us still want someone to witness,â Villain said, leaning back. âAnd youâre better than the others. Your fear is different.âÂ
âVigilantism has its perks.âÂ
Villain chuckled at that. âBefore we go down,â they said, âyou have a higher threshold for fear than others, but even you arenât immune.â Their eyes flicked over Heroâs body, clinical, fascinated. âSo Iâm going to give you a gift.âÂ
âYou donât-âÂ
âShh,â Villain said, and Hero shut their mouth. âThereâs an old bible story,â they began, âwhere God tells Pharaoh to free his slaves âor elseâ. Are you familiar?âÂ
âOf course you were raised catholic,â Hero said before they could stop themself.Â
Villain ignored them. âThe ten plagues. Famine, death, rivers of blood. But you see, thereâs a very interesting part where God hardens Pharaohâs heart, so that Pharaoh continues to refuse him. Do you know why?â They paused, as though waiting for an answer.Â
âI must have missed that day.âÂ
âFear makes us do things we wouldnât normally do. There is no choice when weâre afraid, weâll do anything to get rid of it. When faced with the wrath of God, there is no real decision- unless, of course, you do not fear.âÂ
Villain tilted their head ever so slightly, eyes fixed on Hero. âI donât want you to react out of fear. I want everything you do to be yours.âÂ
âSo, what?â Hero scoffed. âYouâre god?âÂ
âHavenât I made my own creations?âÂ
The bodies in the river.
âYou didnât make anything,â Hero spat. âAnd I donât appreciate anyone controlling my brain.âÂ
Villain shrugged, a half shouldered thing that felt entirely out of place on them. âThatâs unavoidable. Somethingâs going to, and you should be happy Iâm keeping the fear out of your brain rather than, say, taking some of those nerve clusters and squeezing.âÂ
The threat felt empty. No, that wasnât it. Hero knew Villain had that ability, and that they could kill them, but the usual trickle of ice that usually accompanied true threats simply didnât appear. Hero couldnât find it within themselves to tense up for a fight.Â
âFear can be useful,â Hero said. âPrepares you to do what needs to be done.âÂ
âUseful? Really?â Villain said. âYou would trust your body not to betray you.âÂ
âYeah, I think Iâd trust my body with itself more than Iâd trust you.â Hero crossed their arms.Â
Something glinted in Villainâs eye, and they turned. âLetâs go somewhere more private,â they said, and began walking deeper into the complex.Â
Hero stared. Villain had turned their back on them. Was walking away, even. Hero wasnât restrained, wasnât even disarmed, they were just⊠loose. And Villain just turned their back to them.Â
They went for their knives. The moment they touched the blades, pain lanced up their arm.Â
Down the hallway, Villain sighed, turning to walk back. Their right hand was outstretched, palm up. âI suppose we can do it now.â
Hero didnât move.
âIâm holding onto your secondary nervous system,â Villain said, voice light, like they were having afternoon tea. âPulling out your freeze response. Feel that?âÂ
Hero stood, staring, heart hammering, air frozen in their lungs. The muscles in their neck started to tense and untense, trying to pull in air.
âYou donât feel fear like this often,â Villain said. âItâs what makes you so much better.â They flicked their fingers.Â
Air rushed back in, and Hero took a step back. âIâm- that canât possibly be the reason Iâm better. I feel fear. Other people stay calm- that canât possibly be the reason.âÂ
âOther people donât consistently face off against people like me.âÂ
âYou admit there are other people like you?â Hero said, more to distract Villain for a moment and regain their composure than anything.
Villain laughed. âIâm not the only one with my power.âÂ
Hero felt the urge to stiffen- but it passed. âOthers?âÂ
âThereâs no need for you to worry. If there are a thousand like me, then maybe ten are even aware they have powers- and of those, only I possess my refinement. Itâs an art, you know. Teasing out responses- pulling on one chemical, pushing on another. It takes time to figure out. First poor souls I worked on-â Villain spared a glance to the side, remembering- âwell, as it happens, too much of one chemical flooding your brain can trigger some unfortunate side effects. But that was years ago.âÂ
Morbid fascination made Hero want to know exactly what happened and how, but they pushed that to the side. âHow would someone not realize they could- control people? Control bodies?â Â
âAt very low levels, it might simply be unconsciously done. They might be an exceptionally good doctor, or maybe assume they are just very persuasive. Itâs easy to be charming when everyone gets a dopamine hit just by seeing you.âÂ
They were directly in front of Hero now. âYour freeze response is a bit boring, no? Letâs try another.âÂ
Hero grit their teeth. They needed to stop Villain- they needed Villain happy with them. Villain was angry, angry enough to hurt Hero, and Hero could- Hero could ask, they should ask, they should plead, they should- not ask forgiveness, not that, they shouldnât ask for anything, but they could ask what they could do to help, they should apologize for breaking in, Villain, they should get on their knees right now and beg-Â
A shudder shook through them.Â
âCome on now,â Villain said. Their foot tapped on the ground, arms crossed, shoulders tight, jaw set-Â
âSorry,â Hero said, the word bursting out. It wasnât enough. It wasnât enough. âI-â They clamped their lips shut.Â
Blood in the water.Â
âIâm sorry. Iâm sorry! Villain- please, I- Iâm sorry, please please, I didnât mean- I can do anything, Iâll do anything, I swear, Iâm so sorry, please-â Heroâs eyes pricked with tears.Â
And then they didnât. Hero blinked, still breathing hard. They studied Villain, suddenly uncaring about their stance or the slight curve at the edge of their mouth, but didnât say anything. They didnât know what would come out if they opened their mouth.Â
âYou still think fear is a good thing?â Villain teased.Â
Hero wasnât one to admit defeat. They needed more information on Villain, and Villain wasâŠÂ
They followed Villain deeper into the compound.

WHO IS CROWLEY AFTER THE FALL (PART2)
Here it is finally.
So what is the Leviathan.
In mythology and theology the Leviathan is a sea-serpent and is mentioned in several books of the Hebrew Bible such as the Book of Job and Book Isaiah and Book of Enoch. The Leviathan of the Book of Job is a reflection of the older Canaanite Lotan, a primeval monster defeated by the god Baal Hadad. Parallels to the role of Mesopotamian Tiamat defeated by Marduk have long been drawn in comparative mythology, as have been wider comparisons to dragon and world serpent narratives such as Indra slaying Vrtra or Thor slaying Jörmungandr.
Once again we see the pattern of Biblical creatures being âinspiredâ from pagan ones.
Thomas Aquinas described Leviathan as the demon of envy, first in punishing the corresponding sinners. Peter Binsfeld likewise classified Leviathan as the demon of envy, as one of the seven Princes of Hell corresponding to the seven deadly sins. Leviathan became associated with, and may originally have been referred to by, the visual motif of the Hellmouth, a monstrous animal into whose mouth the damned disappear at the Last Judgment, found in Anglo-Saxon art from about 800, and later all over Europe.
In the Book of Enoch, The Leviathan is a female giant chaos serpent that lives deep in the ocean, while her mate, Behemoth, is a male giant chaos beast (based off of a hippopotamus or water-ox) who lives in the mythical desert of Duidain, East of Eden.
Ring any bells. Chaos mongering (fomenting), ox, eastern gate of edenâŠ.Â
The Hebrew word that translates to Leviathan (Livyatan) appears six times in the Old Testament. One of them is in Job 41. The word is derived from the root Iwy or â twist, coilâ and means âthe sinuous one.â So I think we can establish that this creature is at least indicated to be snake-like. Scholars trace the etymology of whale and crocodileÂ
In the Book of Isaiah it is mentioned that the beast will rise from the water and will be defeated by God on the Last Day. However, quite interestingly nowhere in the Old Testament is the Leviathan written as evil. Only later scholars have equated it with the devil so that the battle between God and Chaos can be interpreted as the battle between God and the Devil.
Now letâs make this more interesting: The Gnostic sect venerate the biblical serpent of the Garden of Eden as a symbol of wisdom, which the malevolent Demiurge tried to hide from Adam and Eve. They identify the Leviathan as the serpent of Eden and in this belief system the Leviathan appears as an Ouroboros, separating the divine realm from humanity by enveloping or permeating the material world.
I mean I donât even need to say anything further. Â
And he does show up in GO Season 2. The matchbox.
HereÂ
When did this happen, I wonderâŠâŠhmmmmmm
Oh YES!
Crowley wearing Aziraphaleâs face
    Â
Hereâs the rest of the passage from Job
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? (penetrate his coat of armor) Â or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
The Leviathan is a magnificent creature. And the very fact that God goes to so much trouble to describe the magnanimity of this creature is to show what God has created and hence Her magnanimity must be even greater in comparison for the Creator is always superior to the Creation. And if God can so easily abuse and humiliate this beautiful monster, then God must be worshipped and feared.
Though to the unsuspecting eye these passages may ring no familiar bells, a closer look makes you realize how Crowley-coded they are. And to think that in a story where Neil has never witten or shown anything that wasnât woven in finely with the characters, I alwsy wondered why he chose the Book of Job for the minisode when he could have included any other one. Â
But it reminded me that Crowleys character is truly unrelenting. Heâs a nether millstone. He wonât give up that easily. He absolutely wonât submit to anyone, and heâs shown time and time again that his vociferous litanies about running away disappear as soon as someone or something he cares about is in danger (i.e. Aziraphale). And the second coming will also threaten his creation (the universe). His refusal to submit to authority, the refusal to be subjugated is the reason he fell in the first place. And quite interestingly he doesnât own Hell either. He resists that too. For him itâs not Heaven or Hell that matters but the resistance to Power. Â
I also think itâs also fitting that the Leviathan is perceived to be a monster that must be slain or enslaved but in reality is another of Godâs creations just like the sun and the stars and the rivers and the mountains. Â
And it makes me think of how Crowley has always been labeled as evil because he fell. I think of how, at heart, he is truly gentle and kind, heâs a starmaker. But his fall, his appearance, his desire to be autonomous and his grey moral campus make him feared and a target. And that has made him the embodiment of chaos. His refusal to submit himself to the uniformity of both worlds, to the rules and guidelines that create this illusion of order sets him apart from them. He embraces the chaos that grayness offers, that being âhumanâ brings. And hence the final battle will be between God and chaos with God justifies as being the battle between good and evil because, well, heâs a demon. Â Â Â
The Leviathan being historically associated with the sin of envy is again I think written into the plot very carefully. He is envious of humanityâs ability to question God, to have choices to not be doomed to heaven or hell for all eternity. He is envious of what Maggie and Nina have. Heâs envious of what Beelz and Gabe have.
âI mean if Gabriel and Beelzebub can go off togetherâŠ..â
And then him rejecting Azirapahleâs offerâ he has spent his life (a long, long life) rejecting power and authority. In his relationship with Aziraphale he found his sanctuary, a relation clean of power dynamics. Up till now they were both equal. But this new offer jeopardizes that.
And I love how his ego and pride come to play here. He would never accept being âsecond in command to anyoneâ. And his envy of how Godâs mercy is free for some but wholly denied to him.

while i'm gone on hiatus, i thought now would be a good time for you all to get to know me! i thought the egoist bible questions were so silly but so good at getting some insight into how a person is, so here are my answers <3 i did change up some questions pertaining to soccer, but for the most part, these are all the questions asked from the egoist bible đ€

FAVORITE FOOD âș a ny strip, cooked rare.
LEAST FAVORITE FOOD âș salmon. i hate it; i dislike most fish, but i gag every time i eat salmon. it doesn't matter how high quality it is, how it's prepared, what dish it is â i can't stand the taste. which is a total bummer because salmon has hella omega-3s, and i #needthat (i buy fish oil vitamins because of this)

YOUR TYPE âș someone driven & disciplined who also makes me laugh (whether it's unintentionally or because he really is just that funny)

WHAT WILL YOU DO ON THE LAST DAY ON EARTH âș spend it with my family
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU RECEIVED $650,000 âș 10% to my church, 50% in savings, 25% to my brokerage accounts + roth ira, 15% to spending!!!!
HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR DAY OFF âș play nitrotype, color, clean
WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING IF YOU HADN'T STARTED WRITING FANFICTION âș probably (definitely) study more, but i feel like i wouldn't be as happy. writing fanfiction makes me more connected to a fandom, and it adds to my overall enjoyment of media. i met really cool people online because of my fanfiction
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE HISTORICAL FIGURE âș Jesus
IF YOU COULD TAKE ONLY ONE THNG TO A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT WOULD YOU BRING âș my dad, he'd know what to do. if i can't bring a person, an expensive emergency survival kit (loophole logic; an emergency survival kit is usually sold as one unit).
IF THERE WAS A TIME MACHINE, WOULD YOU WANT TO GO TO THE PAST OR THE FUTURE âș the future. somehow, i don't think i'd get treated right if i went to the past, and besides, i can read a textbook. i can't see into the future.

I feel like there are people out there who could benefit from hearing this: Do not let your explanation of why you sin or have bad habits become your excuse to not change. It doesn't matter if it's physical, or mental in nature. It doesn't matter if it's because of trauma, or someone else hurting you. It doesn't matter if you feel like you're too horrible or worthless to even try improving, or like you've already tried everything. It's far too easy to point to outside sources as to why you do what you do, and then sit there as if the case is closed, and there's nothing else to do. It's easier and more convenient than standing up and looking for answers when you feel like you've already done so a million times with no success, and you're hurting from walking for miles. But there's always something you can do. There's always Someone you can go to for both guidance, and for comfort when things seem too hard. All you have to do is sit down, open your Bible, search for answers and comfort, and pray sincerely. You may not get an answer right away. You might need to work on other areas of your life before getting to the current problem. You may improve, but still struggle for years to come. Regardless of any of this, do not give in to despair. Remain persistent. Keep looking. Keep knocking.
Matthew 7:7-11
7 âAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 âWhich of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
