#Troy and Adam

[kbthebearcat]

This is another comic that was sitting around for a long time that I finally got around to finishing up. I have been picking away at this gradually for like, two years? 😅 Or at least a a year and a half? Idk… but it was sitting for a long time is all I know.

I’m not very experienced with compositing comics so that was one of the reasons, and I also didn’t really know where I wanted this comic to go at first. Like, I had the general idea that Troy was trying to hide the fact that had the little alien kid with him, but I didn’t really know how I wanted the dialog to go and how I wanted it to end. But just today I managed to conclude it and be satisfied enough with it. The backgrounds are inconsistent and kinda weird though. They’re supposed to be in Adam’s home office room, buuuut… I kinda gave up on making the environment look good. 🥲

This kind of turned out to be a continuation of this drawing I did a while ago. I thought that maybe the two met at school, the little alien kid was a new student, and the two of them hit it off well. So of course that means Troy can just abduct the child and take him home with him. 😂 

Fortunately Adam is astute enough to realize something is up, plus he just knows his son, and as it’s implied in the comic, this isn’t Troy’s first time doing this…. He was a bit of a rascal as a kid. He just likes making new friends and doesn’t want to part. Though if he just asked if the kid could stay over, then they probably would have said yes haha.

Adam of Troy

Alastor was in quite the predicament. The predicament being three goddesses standing in front of him all begging for the golden apple in his hands.

He would admit that when they came to him that morning to judge on who was the most beautiful he was quite stumped.

Not only had three powerful goddess shown theirselves to him, the youngest child of the king of Troy, but they had begged for his willingness of judgement to them.

The apple that he held in his hands was said to be given to the most beautiful goddess in existence.

They just needed him to make the call on who was the fairest in all the Heavens.

Would it be Asherah the Queen of the Heavens?

Uriel the goddess of wisdom and strategy?

Or would it fall on what some would say the most obvious, Jophiel the goddess of love and beauty?

He had no idea on what to do or who to choose. He didn’t wish to anger or disrespect anyone but he knew that he had to make a choice.

That was when he came up with an idea.

Alastor: Alright ladies I have come to a decision….on how you shall be judged.

The goddesses were confused by his statement until he continued.

Alastor: I shall give this apple to the goddess who can offer me the most valuable and precious of gifts.

Instantly the three Heavenly maidens scrambled to give their offerings to the young prince.

Asherah: I shall give you the most fertile land where gold grows from there.

Alastor scoffed: I’m a prince I already have more riches than I know what to do with, next!

Uriel: I will give you strategic guidance and strength so that when you go to battle there will be no doubt that you will win.

Alastor rolled his eyes: As if that will ever help me, I’m a prince I don’t need to fight battles I have soldiers for that. Next!

Finally Jophiel stepped forward, she smiled at the prince and told him exactly what she’d give.

Jophiel: I shall give you the love of the most beautiful man amongst humans.

With a flick of her wrist an image appeared and Alastor almost dropped the apple in disbelief. Before him was the face of one whose beauty was unmatched.

His hair was the color of soft chestnut. His eyes glowed like amber reflected in the sun. The structure of his face was soft and gentle.

Alastor was struck by Eros’s arrow because he had fallen in love.

Jophiel smirked seeing his reaction. The apple was hers for the win.

Jophiel: His name is Adam.

Alastor: He’s breathtaking.

Jophiel: And the best part about this exquisite belle is from what I have heard he has both the parts of a man and a woman.

Alastor: You are telling me he is a hermaphrodite?

Jophiel nodded: Yes, I even heard from a little birdy that he is incredibly fertile. The first time you lay with him he will bear your seed.

From where Asherah was she glared hard at the other deity. She should have known better than to talk about her husband’s bastard than with Jophiel of all goddesses.

Meanwhile Jophiel was soaking up the prince’s lovesick expression as he continued to stare at the man’s picture.

Jophiel: All you have to do is give me the apple and proclaim me as fairest of all maidens and he is yours for the taking.

Alastor didn’t think twice as he tossed the apple to Jophiel who accepted it without hesitation.

Alastor: Jophiel is the most beautiful amongst you ladies, now tell me where I can find this man?

Jophiel didn’t even glance up from her prize as she told him: He resides in the city of Sparta in fact he is actually the prince so you’ll be securing between an alliance.

Alastor faltered as he thought of something else: What if his parents refuse his hand to me?

Jophiel shrugged: Then take him, I did promise you him did I not?

Alastor grinned: That you did, that you did.

He bowed before the goddess before bidding her farewell.

Alastor: Until we meet again goddess of love.

With that he departed without a second thought as he made his way back to his palace to pack. He had a bride to retrieve.

The others soon left, leaving behind Jophiel as she stared at the golden apple. However, there was something nagging at the back of her head.

It was something about Adam….his…..he was….huh guess she forgot.

Well, whatever it was couldn’t be too big of a deal.

I always have thoughts (I can't be asked to rename this- Rigged traps and etc thinking)

We discuss Amanda rigging her traps so much and it has to be one of the most depressing aspects of her character. It’s somewhat obvious that she doesn’t actually think she should’ve survived her own test, which is why she doesn’t believe that anyone else should either- Amongst other factors.

I sometimes wonder whether she’d come to this conclusion without having to go through as much as she did. For example, if Gabriela hadn’t died and let’s say Cecilia did? If Adam somehow escaped… Or was Amanda always destined to doubt John’s ideology and be doomed. The reason she stuck around was because of him really, not anything to do with the ‘’rehabilitation’’ of others. She always tends to react negatively in the face of any game too. With Saw X I think we literally get to watch any hope Amanda has for John’s methods be crushed. I always get confused with the timeline but with a quick search this movie falls between the first Saw movie and Saw 2… Anyway the bathroom trap, Amanda is quite removed from the game itself, even though she is slightly one of the reasons Adam fails with how carelessly she throws the key. The most hands on Amanda gets in regards to this test is when she brings Adam to the bathroom and then also when she returns to suffocate him. 

But if we look at the traps for the scammers? Amanda plays a very active role in their test throughout the entire process. She not only brings them to the location, but she interacts with them whilst they’re playing their game. Amanda seems to be rooting for Gabriela, being quite empathetic to the younger woman’s struggle with addiction…. And in a sense, Cecilia is Gabriela’s John? Because to me both Cecilia and John are kinda predatory, just in different ways.

John knew of Amanda from the fact she was a patient in the Homeward Bound Clinic, testing her in her own words because she was a ‘’fucking junkie.’’ So he puts this clearly mentally unstable woman in a reverse bear trap and when she survives the ordeal, John proceeds to use her misplaced gratitude to recruit her. However, I do think there is genuine care between them, it’s just a shame the one person Amanda latches on to is JIGSAW. Whereas with Cecilia, she targets Gabriela because it’s easy to hire an employee whose main focus and drive is money. You can say that’s most workers and sure it is! But addiction can blur and shift your morals by a lot. The same way that Amanda got Cecil to attempt to rob the clinic, I don’t believe Gabriela is focused on the good and bad of what she’s doing. She is purely focused on funding her drugs, making her very easy to be taken advantage of. This could have been Amanda in another life. 

Back on track though- Another little detail that always makes me sigh is the fact that Amanda likely was the one to put Valentina’s hair up for her. It’s such a simple consideration and that is what makes it all the more saddening to me. She then watches with her own two eyes, almost every single one of their deaths… EXCEPT CECILIA WHO SURVIVES AND IS THE REASON GABRIELA DIED. Shit man. I’d crash out too. Like, what do you mean the person behind the scam in the first place and who has just stomped on another human being's neck like she’s killing a bug is the person who wins this? What because she did it in the time frame? Because she physically overpowered the other person within her test and KILLED him. That’s who we’re letting out??? Gabriela won but died and even someone like Valentina actually was successful in cutting off her own leg, she just didn’t have enough time. Oh! Did I mention this happens in Saw 2… Like so much of this is a repeat. Xavier physically overpowers almost everyone else in that group, throwing Amanda into a needle pit and killing Jonas. Laura did about nothing wrong except shoplifting and having Eric frame her, yet she succumbs to the poison and dies in Amanda’s arms. Oh! AND SOMEHOW THERE IS A MINOR IN BOTH OF THESE GAMES, DANIEL IS JUST A FUCKING TEENAGER AND CARLOS IS A CHILD!!! DID I MENTION WE HAVE SEX WORKERS HERE TOO? BYE VALENTINA. BYE ADDISON. Oh and people being forced into traps not intended for them. Amanda was never meant to go in the needle pit and a whole CHILD shouldn't be BLOODBOARDED.

All of this is so close together timeline wise too. Amanda is catching no breaks and that’s why it’s not surprising given these circumstances that she’d become unhinged and start actually just murdering people. Might as well everyone else seems to be doing it and getting far. But, let's say things were different as mentioned. Gabriela survived… Laura survived… Adam survived…. So on so forth. Would she have her existential crisis crash out? Because her belief nobody changes is partially engraved in her experiences with others but also based upon herself. If she was helped the first time, why did she keep getting tested? If not the fact of her drug addiction, what was wrong with her? The fact she still self harmed even after surviving the whole ordeal with the bear trap? AMANDA WHAT YOU COULD’VE BEEN IF YOU LATCHED ON TO JILL INSTEAD.

Like I know it's because John's method worked in comparison to the standard rehabilitation but God.
