the quiet humidity of the imperial helmsblock feels homey and soothes the permanent ache of your gills when the water levels down and there's room to sit and shoot the shit about how your night's been going. and when you tell a stupid joke about that panrotted dumbass heisar from communications, he smiles, and you remember why you adore him.
by every light in the endless cosmos that shines pale as your pity, you wish you could help him, but his chains are yours, tied firm and intertwined, and the loops dig in ever tighter with each passing perigee.

This is going to be a toxic take but ethubs is one of these ships where there's this like instinct to gatekeep it because you can smell ethubs made by non main ethubs girlies or non ethogirls or whatever it's just a little bit off you see it and you're like mmmm. Not quite. You wouldn't understand you need a particularly high iq to underst

look i know that many conditions, including many mental illnesses etc, are chronic and will never fully go away, i do, and i realize that many of the things going on in my own brain qualify for this
but when i see posts talking about how things will never get better with these conditions it does in fact act as a trigger for my suicidal thoughts

Well since I'm slerpdeprived and thinking about "what's worse than two parents with issues? THREE parents with issues"
The interesting thing about the "Cain/Abel are Lucifer's child" theories is that genetically speaking it doesn't even matter. The children are made of Eve's egg and Lucifer's sperm. Eve was made from Adam's rib (assuming that the show will follow that canon?), she's made from him DNA, she's genetically his clone.
So Cain/Abel COULD be tested for the parenthood test thing and chances are they'll always match with Adam since they'll match with Eve.
So if it were to be used as a type of "gotcha, not my real dad" Adam probably wouldn't acknowledge it because not only did he raise them in life, the DNA test matches with him too.
Nevermind that he only knew his kids (who either died and went to hell, or were cursed to wander and lived for centuries, had nomad kids etc, THEN died and went to hell, assuming that that's where Cain is ofc) for like 0.05% of their existence.
Which btw, thinking about the weight and realistic importance of familial bonds forged in earth is very interesting in the context of the afterlife, especially when it comes to ancient souls. I would care who my mom/dad was in 50 years, 150 years, perhaps 500 years, but would I care in 1000 years? I suppose I would acknowledge them in title but after centuries of being an independent adult, wouldn't that change the perceived hierarchy in pretty much any relationship?
That was a tangent but it does go back to what I was originally saying:
Really it's in Cain and/or Abel's best interest that such a test is never taken. ALL it would accomplish is earn them another adult with baggage in their lives and who wants that when you're essentially as old as your human parents (give it take 5 to 20 years depending on how you think the whole Eden thing played out), as old as agriculture, older than civilization etc.
(that's of course grounds for conflict which could be interesting... You're one half of the oldest pair of tragic twins in the history of humanity, you've been a soul for longer than you were human, you kind of have other things going on... Why are your earthly parents still beefing with the devil? In true "I'm an adult and it's made me very judgemental of my parents' unaddressed immaturity", they should be like. Literally who cares. Dude I mean Dad (Adam) are you SURE you don't want to try therapy?)
Like really their only motivation may be to have a claim to the throne of hell or something but assuming that hell laws work as they do in human culture, Eve's kids would be "bastards" so they wouldn't be next in line.
If not political power, there's always the possibility of fucking up spectacularly with a series of bad deals and now they really need to have access to the Morningstar funds or be in the will or something, but hm idk. On the fence about this idea. I suppose it could be executed in an interesting way.
I'm so tired I feel like this post got away from me. No conclusion! Just more aimless rambling in the tags

How many fucking times do I have to say that a character being unlikable and mean doesn't mean they're not a good character. Criticizing them just because you don't like them isn't productive when the narrative impact of their actions is essential to the story, you're just pissing off the people who actually DO like them
