Chapter 6 - Prologue for a New After-Life

Excerpt from "The After-life for Gods and Monsters," location of book unknown.

[flashback]

It should be said that the space between universes was not a bar. You couldn't just stumble in whenever you wanted and pour yourself a drink.

Even if you were the most silver-tongued of creatures.

Even if you were fast as the fae.

"Akira Kibo, the after-life is not a free-for-all," Substance huffs, folding her arms. 

"Yeah, and if you ain't want visitors, you shoulda been faster closing the door." 

It was a technicality. But then again, technicalities were the lifeblood of the fae. 

Substance rolls her eyes, “Your father was like you. Fast enough to slip in here and take something that was ours. I hear the birds are still eating his liver."

"Sounds about right,” Akira smirks, “He was kind of an asshole.” 

And there, the creature standing before the Divine Creators demonstrated that he knew the foundational rule of the universe: 

Fuck around and find out.

“Akira Kibo, last one left,” Time observes in her honeyed voice. "Ancient upon ancient. Cursed with the speed that made you at once a harbinger and a relic. You must be lonely."

“I don’t gotta be,” Akira replies. “The Reaper's scythe is not a requirement for a new life.”

It was a law so arcane that the Divine Creators almost forgot they made it.

"You’ve done your reading," Substance allows, "And what would you offer in exchange for this new life? Would you get back what your father stole?”

"In exchange, I will make sure that what my father took ends up where it belongs."

As far as deals went, it left a lot to be desired. The fae can't lie, which wasn't the same as saying they don't lie, so that single statement presented loopholes upon loopholes.

But it was as close to satisfaction as the Creators were going to get. 

"It's tricky, starting a new life without death," Time purses her lips. "All this experience will be muscle memory, a life you feel but can't remember. You and your sister will be in between."

Akira shrugs. "We got over losing godhood. Pretty fuckin' sure we'll survive this." 

"So confident!" Time quirks a brow, "Alright. Have your new life, Akira. But first, a question. Who would you be in a whole new world? What would you do with a new set of circumstances?"

"I wouldn't be the last."

“I would keep them safe.”

It should be said that the Divine Creators were not usually chatty. Usually, they did not tell you shit. But sometimes, when you made a thing, you had a soft spot, and so, just before Akira reaches the doors, Time calls out:

“They will be unruly, Akira. And loathe to listen. They will make you break your rules and forget your vows. They will test your boundaries and leave you wanting. Death will come for you. And woe be unto the creatures standing in the way of the Hunt for your heart.”

With those parting words, the Creators watch as Akira walks out the doors and falls into his next life.

"The screaming is always so loud. We should change things up," Time muses. "What about a nice bayou instead of a warehouse? We could drown everyone in a lake instead of dropping them onto concrete."

“It won’t work,” Substance grumbles.

“Of course it will. I already have the perfect piece of property picked out.”

"Not your swamp. This plan. I don't like it."

Time is unphased. She sinks to her knees behind her wife, placing a steadying hand on her hip. "You worry too much."

“And you don't worry enough,” Substance tilts her head back. She bites down on a moan, fighting against the distraction. “You promised me an eternity of torment, and now we’ll have to free him because if the son exists, so too must the father.”

“You are too tense,” Time plants the softest kiss at the base of her wife's spine, “Remember when we killed all the gods and replaced them? This is like that. It's a good plan."

"But my birds are—"

Another kiss. "The birds won’t go hungry for too long. Akira will remember his task.”

“The living don’t remember shit.” Substance snaps, but her voice is breathless. "And anyway, he's too fast. Cursed with it."

“Then Death, my love, will just have to catch him.”

It's Venus! How adorable, she wants to stick you like a pin cushion :3

[queenlovesbooks]

“Kiss me,” she pleaded, and he did, hot languorous slow kisses that sped up as his heartbeat did, as the movement of their bodies quickened against each other. Each kiss was different, each rising higher and higher like a spark as a fire grew: quick soft kisses that told her he loved her, long slow worshipful kisses that said that he trusted her, playful light kisses that said that he still had hope, adoring kisses that said he had faith in her as he did in no one else. Clary abandoned herself to the kisses, the language of them, the wordless speech that passed between the two of them.”��

Supernatural and the Vampire Chronicles have a lot in common, but BESIDES the homoeroticism, incestuous undertones, and batshit cosmology (Memnoch the Devil belongs in the same pantheon as God's Sister Amara tbh), i think it's v interesting how both have become vehicles for fandoms to critique the elements that the properties were romanticising in the first place.

In the case of SPN, fandom turns the fetishization of the straight, American male who deals violence as a vigilante on its head by writing some of the craziest queer fanfic the world has ever seen (the fandom invented the omegaverse), and the bodies of these idealised men are turned into avatars for a predominately non-male audience. Instead of buying into the male power fantasy that Supernatural was peddling to an audience that it assumed was straight, American men, the fandom went HARD in the other direction - putting the characters in the sort of traumatic situations that are typically enacted upon women in horror.

In the case of the Vampire Chronicles (and definitely aided by the way the show has engaged with themes of the work), Anne Rice's exoticism, racism, and (idek what to call it - romanticisation of paedophilia? Cause she definitely rationalised that shit irl, outside of the books) becomes a structure to explore power dynamics and intersectionality, stepping outside of the neat Manichaeism that she could tend to lean into. I know she deals a lot with grey morality, but she also drew a lot of very clear lines, like the Roman-Western rationality of Marius vs the wild Eastern mysticism of Armand, or the unquestioned hierarchy of the maker/fledgling relationship.

Idk, i think it's very neat that fandoms took two properties and said 'we like the vibes but the bones need work' and flipped them on their heads to engage with.

Hello there, Amostia.

- @malicemaskman

He blinked and stared at the familiar robed man. “… Father.” Was there anything to say? Was there anything to comment on? Already he felt limp again, the sensation of everything in the past rushing back. “… hello again.” Even now his voice was quivering, though full of malice.

OOC: I am so sorry in advance

[minakoshoe]

The Half-Life Brainrot is consuming me along with the other ones... Also sorry for not posting. I been recovering from bad allergies and last semester of school, which was really stressful for me.

Obviously I would've personally rather keep the bust slider but you have to to admit it is pretty weird to have a character creator where you can meticulously adjust your bra size but not a single feature on your face aside from the colors
