Hayward is kinda married to Paige in the way nuns are married to Jesus

[melandrops]

From Carpenter's beginning, a jaded heretic with a kill count that she doesn't allow to keep her awake at night, a past and a present drowned in blood - to her ending, laying her brother to rest despite the tears of rage in her eyes.

From Faulkner's beginning, a boy trying to find his place in the parish that calls himself their family and desperately hoping to be something more - to his ending, wading into the water he can't swim in for the sake of walking at his sister's side.

From Hayward's beginning, a perpetrator of the system, up to his neck in violence and all too eager to believe that he is right- to his ending, telling Paige to go on without him with no hesitation to lay down his life for her safety.

From Paige's beginning, a suit who sits at the board room and wonders aloud how to make their bloodshed sanitized - to her ending, allowing her godchild to fester in her body so she may watch her people walk onward to better lands.

From Shrue's beginning, a politician who cares only for being reelected, who wavers at the very idea of radicalism - to their ending, dying for the most radical of causes, screaming a cry for change with their last breaths.

From VAL's beginning, a weapon of war, razing lands under her feet and nothing more than her anger - to her ending, using the last dregs of her strength to give people their greatest desires.

At the end of the day, they all chose kindness. They chose to love, despite the cruelty of their world and the horrors they saw.

They were human, even at the mercy of their gods.

Tsv character portraits. It was very important to me to get my vision of them out of my head after I listened to the finale for some reason. Hopefully it’s obvious who’s who

these are the silt verses, and here are its disciples.

(Silence. CARPENTER tries to rally HAYWARD's spirits. She's afraid she's going to lose him.)

"All three of us - we can all go on living, Hayward. Just like you said."

thinking about how one of hayward's first lines of the show is "everyone wants a personal relationship with a god, but none of us are equipped to actually deal with that." how he only ever prayed out of routine, how he never devoted himself properly to any god, and even the cloak was just a bad attempt and making himself feel less alone. how he wished that he could have a real partner with him on his cases but all he has is a god. how he couldn't even try to make himself believe that worshipping a god would save him. and then how he found his purpose serving alongside and loving a woman who bore a godchild beneath her skin. how he birthed a god with this woman and he threw his whole self into The Cause. but it was never about the god it was always about the cause and about the person he loves. and he said that if he had to put his faith in anyone he would put it in paige. and then he died refusing to offer a prayer to a god and whispering to the gods that he was going to die on his own terms. he would never bend the knee for a god, but he would call it a gift to sacrifice his life for just a chance that paige will be safe. thinking about how he died and the only faith he ever had was in the woman he loved
