Prayers to the Gods for the Palestinian people.

Keep sharing, keeping protesting, keep b0ycotting, but your prayers also have power, not just for yourself, but for others too. The Gods weep as we do at this injustice. They are just as angry as we are. The Gods will always care about injustice. Remember Xenia.

Also ! Anyone can use these, feel free to change the prayers to fit any other gods!

I'd like to ask you how you started shipping Lucifer x Michael and what inspired you to finally write a book about it! I'm sure you have some kind of origin story behind it 😂 Just like how you thought of pairing Samyazza and Azazel, I swear that until I read A&M, I had no idea about Samyazza and the other Watchers. It was a surprise for me to look it up out of curiosity and discover that they're actual names mentioned...

I actually went into detail on why I paired Lucifer with Michael in the special birthday edition of ABM (in a long introductory note). I've also talked about it here, but I'm not really sure where that ask is.

The (reiterated) answer is that I thought it was interesting that a lot of people I knew in real life had the idea that they would have been friends once; I'm talking about my religious family and friends here. It's interesting because there's no scriptural evidence for it, and there's no... religious tradition of Michael and Lucifer being friends. The idea that they're brothers (as in, blood brothers) spawned from this (unfounded) idea everyone seems to have, I think.

There's this part in ABM where Rosier says that Michael and Lucifer loving each other "just makes sense" and yeah, it does. Outside of any ABM context, it just makes for a really compelling tragedy to all the statues of Michael casting Lucifer down that we see everywhere. It explains why Michael never looks happy in those statues, that's for sure. They're all so melancholic. You don't need to read ABM to get that feeling either.

In terms of actual biblical evidence, there is none, but I was really fascinated by the fact that Michael only ever speaks once in the Bible, despite his 4 billion appearances, and it's at Satan (in Jude 9). It comes as a memory though. Jude basically says, "Do you remember when Michael fought with Satan over Moses' body and said that God rebukes him?" The fact that it's a memory with little context and that Michael wouldn't condemn Satan with his own heart made me... think a lot.

Michael's name means "Who is like God?" also. It's meant to be a rhetorical question. Well, who do we know who'd want to answer it anyway? Who do we know that would try to become one with that question? (Kiss it, fuck it). The devil, obviously. And it just makes sense. Michael, the sword of God, the chief prince of Heaven. Of course Satan loves him. And why wouldn't Michael love God's most beautiful and favorite angel back?

Krobus is enjoying the new waterfalls...

Me when they cast Haymitch probably:

screaming crying throwing up at the reminder that in extreme hypothermia your body dilates blood vessels in a last attempt to heat up freezing muscles and organs and in turn makes you feel a deceiving warmth when in reality you are freezing to death and thats why jackie imagined a fire and hot chocolate and shauna's kind smile and a blanket bc her mind said you are dying and you miss your best friend but even now she still makes you warm. warm warm warm
