Just saw Neil Gaiman talking about Hugo Simberg’s painting “Haavoittunut enkeli” aka “The Wounded Angel”

Absolutely stunning art, but let me tell you, there is more gorgeous art by Simberg

My favourite is The Garden of Death. Also known as Kuoleman puutarha.

I could give a lecture series about how incredible Simberg’s works are, how much of symbolism there is✨

THE WOUNDED ANGEL (1903) By HUGO SIMBERG

The painting depicts two boys carrying a stretcher with an angel in white angel on. The angel looks sick, her eyes are closed, her wing with blood stains, and she struggles to hold the stretcher with her arms. This is one of SIMBERG'S most famous paintings, and it was voted FINLAND'S "national painting."

The procession goes through a familiar place, ELÄINTARHA in HELSINKI, with the view of the lake in the distance. The path along the lake is still there today. In the time of HUGO SIMBERG, this park was a place of leisure for the working classes.

In “THE WOUNDED ANGEL”, the healthy boys carry the injured girl to the blind girl’s school and the home for the handicapped. She holds a bunch of fallen snowdrops, a symbol of healing and resurrection.

SIMBERG didn’t like to explain his work and always refused to explain what he was trying to say, telling people to figure it out for themselves. But we know that SIMBERG had meningitis at the time, and that this painting was a source of strength during his recovery.

Meningitis can also cause neck stiffness and lethargy, as well as light sensitivity, all of which the central figure shows. If read as lungs rather than wings. This diagnosis explains the minor injury as well. Tubercular meningitis leaves abrasions on the upper lungs.

HUGO SIMBERG spent many years preparing THE WOUNDED ANGEL. He left plenty of sketches and photographs, which now tell us about the painting’s process.

Look, I know we’re all intrigued by the concept of Alastor’s angelic wound being healed by Lucifer, but. He is from the 30s. Is there also a possibility that he’s just gonna do some cocaine about it

2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

Crack That Whip: Chaggie & Hazbins

Slight Puppy Love reference.

Vaggie: (wearing a pair of black jogger sweatpants with the cuffs rolled up to her knees and a sports bra) Are you sure you want to do this, babe? You're not really much of a fighter. (Hastily) Which I love about you.

Charlie: (drooling and giving little puppy pants at the sight of Vaggie's abs, shoulders, and traps) I wanna lick you so bad right now...

Vaggie: (stretching and warming up) What was that, hun?

Charlie: This is the best way I can learn how!

Angel: (sitting on a bench with a bowl of popcorn) Nice save, Toots.

Husker: (hosting a betting pool) Place your bets. How long will the Princess last?

Cherri: (takes a handful of popcorn) Put twenty hellbucks on her lasting one minute.

Charlie: I know I'm not much of a fighter. Adam wiping the floor with me proved that. I want to at least be able to hold my own in the future if that ever happens again.

Inner Sin - Lust: (growling) And if we can get scissors between those molten caramel thighs, all the better~

Charlie: (mentally) Shut up, Lust! Now is not the time!

Vaggie: (completely oblivious to Charlie's inner steuggle) Alright, if you say so. Just.... tap twice if you yield.

Charlie: Wait. What?

Vaggie: (lunges forward, grabs Charlie's shirt, leans back while shoving her foot into Charlie's hip, flips them over, and pins Charlie down while cutting off the blood flow using her own shirt collar)

Charlie: (getting lightheaded/swimming as dark circles encroach on her vision and taps Vaggie's thigh twice)

Vaggie: (releases her hold and scrambles to her feet, holding her hand out to help) Oh. Shit! Charlie, are you okay?????

Charlie: I'm good! I'm gooooood. Hmmmm.... (grows tail and swipes at Vaggie's wrist)

Vaggie: (Catches the tail and uses it to roll Charlie over, pinning her down to the mat with her knee) Nice try, babe. Don't think I wouldn't have this thing in mind.

Tail: (thrashing and trying desperately to wrap around any part of Vaggie's body)

Vaggie: Oh, no. You behave. (straightens out the flailing limb and cracks it through the air like a whip)

CRACK!!!

Charlie: (immediately groans filthily as her eyes pop red and her horns burst from her head) Mommy!~

Angel & Cherri: (drop their handfuls of popcorn and blushes) Mommy!

Husker: (dollar bills slip through his fingers) Mommy....

Emily: (watching the whole thing from the crystal ball in heaven, spits out her tea with a deep blush) M-M-Mommy!

Angel cracked open spills out its soul

It sinks into the ground, deep, deep, deep

Poisoning it forever

Hey I have a question about the “Undercover angel au” that being. Is Al still human? Like as in was he once a human that died and went to heaven? Or is he part of heaven’s hierarchy? I ask this cause I remember reading a fanfic with a similar idea this and the had Al be apart of heaven’s hierarchy. Also is his character background changed too or is that the same?

Al was a human who'd died and went to Heaven, so he's a not part of the Heaven's hierarchy.

His background is actually more or less the same. He did murder a lot of people when he was alive, but the only reason he's in Heaven is because it was only BAD people he killed. Legitimately bad people. People who definitely wouldn't have made it into Heaven.

He was also a social activist and used his radio show to both entertain and keep his audience informed of current issues. He was on the front lines of a lot of local, political issues, challenged the status quo, and helped his community in a lot of ways.

He murdered a lot of people,

buuuuut

he helped a lot more people.

So when he died, up to Heaven he went. (He was very surprised too.)

I kind of see this loop hole in the same way that Adam gets to get away with killing mercilessly, via the Exterminations, and isn't condemned for doing it. To Heaven, the people he's killing are Sinners--you know, the bad people, the ones who "threaten" Heaven's power--thus it's for a "good cause" and can be "excused."

The people Alastor murdered were bad people, and like Adam, he enjoyed killing them. He enjoyed it immensely. It was his own, dark way of performing social justice, his own way of fighting for a "good cause," and he doesn't regret any of it.

So, technically, when he died, he fell under the same little loop hole Heaven made for Adam, and despite knowing that Alastor killed people when he was alive, they can't question his right to be there.

Afterall, Heaven doesn't make mistakes.

When you're one of the most selfish mc who only saves people because it's part of a job you never wanted and did not get to chose or you would've died, who took your co-workers' morals and ideals because you didn't have any and desperately wanted to fit in somewhere, be it with the heroes or the villains, who's activelly haunted by one the most tragic past to have been created and suffer from a psychosis so bad (dare I say schizophrenia) that even your enemies acknowledged that you are mentally ill and objectively flawed in your judgement, never hesitated to try to kill anyone and has the most egoistic reason to be a good person but the fandom still thinks you're just a kind crybaby "I don't know what a gun is" homosexual twink.
