jeremyist avid au

listen here, right. avid has a running bit in his lore with jeremy the iron golem. and some of you may not have checked out the empiropedia zine (which you definitely should), but suffice it to say that i am that zine's jeremyism guy™.

"but jaz," you say, "what is jeremyism?"

it's a religion created by joel smallishbeans during the x life series. one of the main pillars of jeremyism is that the one true jeremy lives on through mobs.

so naturally, i had to envision a world where avidmc's character started off practicing jeremyism.

just picture it. imagine the sbk → avid adventures plotline with the added lens of avid feeling abandoned by the one true jeremy and reconsidering everything he held dear again and again. it's avid but with religious guilt on top of all the other levels of guilt. i wish i could put this into better words but i honestly don't even know how to define my own relationship with religion and i want to make a separate post with my thoughts about the functions of jeremyism in empires so you get this instead
