making an attempt to finally finish reading the wicked and the divine has reminded me of that how way back when the first few volumes were coming out, every time kieron gillen killed off one of the gods the celebrity that inspired their look would also die

[sofiamantegafan110]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all my followers! Love you guys!!!!!

I’ve been rethinking my original assessment of Hazel, and I still think she’s very dumb and oblivious to the harm she does, but she does care very deeply about trying to be a positive force in the world. Still a scary fucker when she remembers that she’s a human sun.

[vulpini-mage]

here’s dumb idea i can’t get out of my head

WicDiv au where after canon, Laura dies after living a full life and wakes up after passing out the amaterasu concert when she was 17.

first time: confused, does everything the same until

Ananke: you are persephone.

Laura: nuh-uh

*no ascension*

The Wicked + The Divine: Okay by Kieron Gillen. Art by Jamie McKelvie. Coloured by Matt Wilson. Lettering by Clayton Cowles.

Series: The Wicked + The Divine, #9 Read time: 1 Day Rating: 4/5

The quote: "Oh, David. I have done many awful necessary things. But you had a choice... ...and even at this late date, all your choices were bad. I'll tell you this. I've been around a long long time. And I am oh so bored of men like you." — Ananke

This is a great and fitting ending to a series. It wraps up the storylines well and leaves the reader with a message. It does this while delivering emotional hits with no less weight than other volumes (more importantly issues) in the series. The last pages are, I think, an echo of a moment earlier in the series. Characters are all given their own moments, moments to remind the reader that they are human, also reminders that "people never really die" (Laura) and the power of love.

This whole thing starts with a series of videos about Baal's last gig. One of them is just so adorable, Tom is an everyday person we've met before that I didn't see again. He appears in The Imperial Phase: Part 1 in a discussion with Persephone. "Please! We... have a question." "Uh-huh?" "Some texts say your cult wasn't allowed to say your name We... wanted to honour that. What do you want to be addressed as?" "The Destroyer." Tom does make it clear that this is him. He's not just a Persephone fan, he's a Baal fan. And like so many of us he thinks Inanna is hot. The video itself is him doing the fan thing, opening the ticket, queueing and going to the gig. It's an inside view of the gig and maybe a sense of the betrayal that fans will feel towards the remaining gods. Just after this three of our four heads (Jon, Inanna and Lucifer) get bodies back with the help of Nergal/Cameron after visiting him in the cathedral he has built for The Morrigan. He allows them to take The Morrigan's bodies in a moment of catharsis in a way. What I did notice is that Lucifer honours The Morrigan, specifically Badb, by keeping her red hair (though in Luci's iconic style).

I can honestly say that of all the books that have made me tear up this is the one I least expected. It's not the deaths per se it's the loss of potential and the way they happen. Just to be clear warnings for suicide, murder and attempted murder.

I don't remember seeing the birth names of all the gods before. This is a tiny bit spoilerly so read on at your own peril. • Persephone — Laura Wilson • Urðr — Cassandra • Skuld & Verðandi — Meredith and Zoe (the other two thirds of The Norn) • Lucifer — Eleanor • Baal — Valentine • Inanna — Zahid • Baphomet/Nergal — Cameron • The Morrigan — Marion • Dionysus — Umar • Woden — David Blake • Mimir — Jon Blake • Amaterasu — Emily Greenway • Tara — Aruna • I can't find names for Ananke, Minerva or Sakhmet in the volumes I have available.

I made the choice to skip Volume 8 of WicDiv because it is a collection of special issues set apart from the main storyline. If I was to come back and reread the series I would read Vol. 8: Old Is the New New. But am only half invested in the series, ie invested enough to want to know how the series ends but not invested enough to spend more time with the characters. As it is I have a bit of time pressure to finish the books and get them reviewed before I have to return them.

Merry Christmas Eve, Fam!!!!

This isn't very deep, but I like that Hades and Persephone match

Before he dies, Hades is shown wearing a hand-jewel that contains six dark spots around a red, circular gem reminiscent of pomegranate. Six months with Persephone - or without her - in hell, one might be forgiven for thinking.

The creature who inherits his hand and gem and is transformed by Woden retains a version of this structure - six golden dots orbiting a center sun, almost:

THE WICKED + THE DIVINE: 1831, written by Kieron Gillen, art by Stephanie Hans

As for Persephone, her constellation is first seen next to Ananke's twelve-star snake as a twelve-star hexagram:

THE WICKED AND THE DIVINE #20, written by Kieron Gillen, art by Jamie McKelvie, colors by Matt Wilson

Across the ages, Persephone appears with the six-pointed star in her jewelry or clothing, as though in reference to the six seeds eaten by her mythical counterpart in the underworld in the context of her twelve-month cycle. (When she first becomes Persephone, she wears a necklace with six pinkish beads around the main strand much like six seeds.) As worn by Persephone, however, the hexagon center tends to be replaced with a circle, thus turning the hexagram into a kind of six-petalled flower or stem. Laura wears it blue or pink; her predecessors favor pink (below only a small sample):

(So curious about the 1640s pantheon. Blake cites it alongside the 1920s pantheon as an example of the kind of pantheon he likes, but that may just point to his Asian fetish. The star on the naginata is a nice detail in any case.)

What does it mean? No idea. In-universe, Ananke's sister is certainly seen tossing six pomegranate seeds into her mouth as she tells her grandson that she will tell Ananke "a simple lie":

But her hope is that one of the children will figure out how to end the story - how to stop telling it. And what is the Hades and Persephone myth if not story - a story Laura has already given up?

We also don't know what Ananke ended up doing with the creature made of Hades' hand ...

Something also to consider is that Amaterasu wears a jewel similar to Hades in the very first issue of the series, only that there are eight dots around the eight rays of her sun-symbol:

This panel reappears in Woden’s remix issue with his rather ominous caption, “I can have anything”, giving the scene potential additional weight (how does Woden have access to Laura's perspective on Amaterasu, btw? Or is this not Laura's perspective? Or does that not matter in a remix?)

Moreover, Amaterasu has a necklace with a red jewel at the center that Woden has been using for scrying. It's distinct from the ring he gave her explicitly, the ring she shows Brunhilde, the ring she wears at Lucifer's trial. If Woden didn't give her the necklace as well, how did he get his hands on it? Or is the implication that he made it just like he made Baal's necklace?

In any case, it's notable that the necklace has a six-or twelve-ray (as opposed to eight-ray) pattern, much like what Persephone wears on different necklaces, rings, and shirt decorations:

But Amaterasu's necklace was last seen when she wore it to confront Sakhmet (to distract with the red dot, in a sense), and we know how that ended

Anyway, this is likely rather redundant, but I love the mystery
