#contract from hell

[i-only-ever-asked-questions]

Updated! A few days ago the contract Crowley signs in S1 came up on discord. Being the crazy person that I am, I set on the quest of finding out what it actually says. I couldn't make out everything, especially at the end where Crowley's hand and the sparks obscure the lines but I made out most of it (transcript below the break).

One of the things I like the most is that the contract specifically says "Anthony Crowley of Mayfair, London." In the book, Hastur tells Crowley not to use that name: "No. Not A. J. Crowley. Your real name.” Crowley nodded mournfully, and drew a complex, wiggly sigil on the paper. It glowed redly in the gloom, just for a moment, and then faded."

Interesting things:

The contract is referred to as "the Agreement" - HA!

The contract is between Hastur and Ligur ("the Customer") and Crowley ("the Service Provider"). Not with Hell itself or with Satan.

The contract never actually says what "the Service" is nor does it say how much Crowley is supposed to be paid (so is it just delivering the baby to the convent, or all the upbringing too?)

There is a part that says Hastur and Ligur will pay the costs when the operation is done. But later on it also says that Crowley will not be reimbursed for his own expenses. Talk about being shortchanged!

Hastur and Ligur will NOT provide any help

Crowley must contribute to a retirement plan (Superannuation) for himself and his employees if he has any (how thoughtful)

And lastly, I learned the UK has Superannuations and it is not just an Australian thing! (go figure! the things GO teaches me)

So here you have it. A contract from Hell! literally If anyone can make out the words I couldn't or finds an error, please let me know and I'll update this one.

THE JUDGE FROM HELL TEXTPOSTS (2/3)

[wannabemylover]

rewatching the first episode of Hannibal and holy shit I forgot how good this is but it's actually insane that Brian fuller set up the ep like this, he introduces will and Hannibal by first briefly showing them at their core, at the darkest, most vile part of them---we get a glimpse behind the curtain---and then its gone, the curtain is snapped shut and we see their masks, their human suits.

Will empathizes with killers because he likes it, and he wants to kill but he refuses to give into the urge because he knows how much he'll like it and he won't be able to stop. So he lives vicariously through other killers, satisfying his own dark urge by feeding it little morsels of secondhand blood lust. Every crime scene he works gives the urge something that satisfies it, not enough for it to grow, but enough for it be sate. Enough that he can ignore it for long enough that he can walk around and be Professor Will Graham who is Weird, Brash, and Non-sociable.

And Hannibal is a cannibal at night and a psychiatrist by morning.

I think the black lines over mahiru's eyes were merely a creative choice to underline that mahiru was acting so out of character (from kuro's perspective) that kuro didn't recognize mahiru anymore, but this got me thinking. With the revelation that the count only reflects the beholder's feeling towards him:

Would you even recognize him if your feelings towards him changed for whatever reason? I know he admitted himself that what he and kuro are to each others is strangers, but it does make me wonder if he did meet adam before, but due to the changed situation kuro didn't recognize him anymore when he awoke as sleepy ash.

No one tells you how hard it is to stay in character when writing sometimes. These two…they’ve got me like this 🤏

But it’s okay. I’m hungry for more Emilute content so I have to pick up the pen and do it myself even if it’ll be majority angst with sprinkles of fluff.

.

Writing my Redemption!Lute Au has been on my to-do list since the episode Welcome to Heaven so I’m praying I can finally make this happen and I hope that I don’t succumb to the perfectionist inside of me because I do think having Lute redeem herself is an interesting angle that I doubt the canon would ever follow.

Also it’s an excuse to make a slow burn Emilute fic and I’d eat dirt for any Emilute content.

[i-only-ever-asked-questions]

i just found your post about the baby delivery contract between Anthony J. Crowley. Well done, deciphering so much of what it said!

One question has been burning (hah) in my mind ever since reading the book is *what* exactly the complicated sigil is that Crowley draws there.

The book says, "'Sign. Here.' [Hastur] said... 'No. Not A. J. Crowley. Your real name.'

"Crowley nodded mournfully, and Drew a complicated, wiggly sigil on the paper. It glued redly in the gloom, just for a moment, and then faded."

To put the question another way, on the assumption that he writes some version of his " real name," *what* exactly is his real name meant to be here? Do you think Hastur and Ligur are referring to "Crawley," or something still more ancient? and how does the sigil represent it? What language, alphabet, or literary tradition does the sigil come from? Does it have any grounding in an ancient language that human historians, theologians, or linguists would recognize?

Not being raised in the Christian tradition, there's a fair amount of lore that went over my head, so if it's some arcane or even fairly well-known theological thing, there's a good chance I didn't catch it.

No reason you'd have the answer to any of this, but short of Neil himself, you're probably the best person I could ask. Just a shot.

And thanks!

Thank you. It was fun deciphering the thing :)

I wasn't really brought up in the Christian tradition. We were one of those families that showed up for weddings and funerals and that's it. So I am not really qualified but I'll do my best.

"Anthony J Crowley" looks like something he chose to go by in the human world. At the graveyard Ligur says "What’s he calling himself these days?" implying they think of it as an alias or something. Crowley may see it as his real name but as far as celestial bureaucracy is concerned, it is not his "legal" name.

Angels have a language that pre-dates humans. It is whatever Aziraphale and angel Crowley were speaking in the nebula scene. We can see it in Gabriel’s trial, the symbols/hieroglyphics are it, but we humans can't understand it. Crowley's name, whatever it sounds like, uses that alphabet, not the Latin one English uses, that is his squiggly.

This is how I understand it, but again I don't have a strong religious background. Hope it helps :)

He's such a dumbass in this show. Going from Da On to Hae Jin is hurting my cheeks.

I find it interesting how, out of all the boys so far in Blush Blush, Fuyu is the only one who has been directly implied to have killed a child through his genocide of the Summer Clan (as well as the highest kill count, most likely)
