Imagine being a minimum wage worker in a job you hate and you get sent on a quest to literally meet what's essentially a demigod of your world. As part of your shitty job. And you succeed, you literally meet a god, and the god is about to cleanse you of all your "sins," to allow you to ascend to a higher state of being, But then the god stops in the middle of the process because they recognize who you are and tell you that EVERYONE'S sins are able to be forgiven except YOU, because YOU SPECIFICALLY are unforgivable. And then you die and turn into a mannequin kind of and then you come back to life again. Happened to my good friend Ena from ena world

So I've been kinda musing on the idea of a helmetless Gabriel design because. well. idk, I keep seeing them. And while some of them are really cool, I just don't personally vibe with the concept as a whole, I guess? Keep his hat on. That's his face. Either that or it's a featureless ball of light under there or something. you freaks can take off his underwear but do NOT take off the helmet

There's always something a little off about it to me. Like either he's Just A Guy which is technically more biblically accurate but also kinda boring, or he's some kind of cool """biblically accurate angel""" deal that isn't actually biblically accurate even though it looks cooler.

I ended up settling on a concept that's kind of the best of both worlds to me. It makes a sort of sense for Gabe to have a human face under there, since he's meant to be a messenger to humanity, but I'm thinking, rather than having A Face, he kind of just... appears to individuals as their stereotypical idea of an angel, with either a face that the individual would find trustworthy or stern or outright terrifying depending on what message he's trying to send; different for every observer but always beautiful, flawless.

So to humans, he'd generally appear as something resembling common artistic depictions of him. No set features, but with some consistent elements: young, conventionally attractive & 'perfect'; somewhat androgynous; and with glowing eyes.

On the other hand, V1 doesn't really have anything internal to draw on. It doesn't pay attention to faces. It has no beauty standards. It doesn't trust or hate. It has a completely different thought process, brain structure. So instead, it sees something it can't quite comprehend, because it wasn't meant to comprehend it. A shifting form of faces and wings and light superimposed on each other, closer to the truth than any human but unable to make sense of it.

You know how if AI tries to animate something (or really do anything), it can kind of trail off and lose track of what it's doing and get increasingly nonsensical? It's dumb, but the best example I can think of for how I'd imagine V1 would see Gabriel would be AI Minecraft. The way that a white pixel can become a sheep can become snow can become clouds, and looking up at the sky and then back down will completely change the entire landscape. All its processing power going to solidify some kind of humanoid face in what it's seeing, confirmation bias building up a stronger and stronger image, only for it to tilt its head slightly and the entire illusion shatters.

"ok but what would Gabriel see in the mirror?" do u think i know how angels see

...All that being said. The real answer is still "leave his hat on". freaks

I mean this with all sincerity: in addition to being a delightful artist, you have a real knack for picking out pictures and text posts to reblog. Frequently I am forwarding things you reblog to my friends and lovers who are not on tumblr. Thank you for your expert curation.

genuinely i am so touched by this lovely compliment. thank you so much i've trained for years

I’m lost, where should I do? A small alleyway split into twelve ways Where can I go to meet you again?

If it’s my destiny, if I can choose my destiny Even if I close my eyes and walk, I will choose the right path

The disappeared summer time The summer time that your eyes shone upon me I’m not just waiting, I’m walking to find you

The summer time will come back to me When the cold wind blows, I will close my eyes What’s the time? Summer time I’m not sad, I will dance Again, again

They say you can go to better places if you wear better shoes So I won’t stop until I find you

My lost summer time Will I find you after wandering through strange times? Is it still far ahead? When I get scared, I smile for no reason

Have you forgotten me? I hope your time has stopped in mine Slow the time, stop the time

I will run a bit faster Again, again, again, again

I will say, I do feel for Jayce because he never got to become his own person without his lovers pushing him to become someone they needed.

Viktor, as the mage, made him a scientist obsessed with magic. He made him someone who would understand him, that he could work with, someone who will save him and stay by his side.

Mel made him a useful politician, someone who will strengthen her power, make her richer but also someone she can seek comfort to.

I do wonder, before the mage existed, before his influence, who was Jayce?

"You are here! Stay a while!"

Something about being beckoned in from your solitude by a stranger, finding yourself somewhere that seems at first glance like a glimpse into a better version of things. Only to realize that the people are all empty echoes and remixes of others you've seen before, and the place is a trap that will draw you in and quite literally eat you alive.

Who's Norris talking to, with this one? (Assuming he's talking to anyone. Assuming there's something like choice happening in there.) Does he know that Alice will walk away as soon as he starts talking, and that Gwen will tune him out? Does he know Celia and Sam have left early? There's no one listening to him--except actually there is, because we're all here. We're all listening to this story about an invitation to a "better" time that goes immediately and horribly wrong.

"Stay a while!"

Shortly before the mics switch to a completely different story.

"Sorry for the mess, I wasn't expecting anyone..."

Probably completely different.

I'm sure it's fine.

It sure was nice to hear Gerry sound so happy.
