when minos emerges from the flesh prison do we all just forget his speech? did the fandom collectively black out? did we miss minos' raw anger in not just the tone of his voice but his words? how he reveled in the image of gabriels gore decorating the temples of man?

Why are we writing sisyphus as the angry one

Hello goopy friend~ Do you like bubbles?

v1 terminal flirting

Do you think terminals get excited somewhere in their systems when v1 interacts with them? V1 is probably some flavor of Famous(infamous?) among the network and to be able to supply IT with weapons and IT with tips…i just think itd feel like aome kind of honor

[minophus]

copypasted thoughts.. v1 is so angelic in my mind bc its given so many of these sinners the MERCY of death. and its an angel to gabriel too. its helped him learn joy and freedom and ECSTASY. it freed him from the shackles of the wrongness in his faith. he too will be granted the mercy of death in hell. hes so desensitized to heaven's divinity that hes ended up finding it in a lowly filthy viscerally impure machine

With mirage's situation&world it's probably hard Not to think the way she does. anyone she meets disappears and they're hazy in her memory before vanishing entirely and just like that she's alone in her mind again. why form relationships if they'll end? why live if the point of living is to die?

[minophus]

Gabriel helping newly created angels fly. after the disappearance of god he'd miss it. Holding them steady in the air, then gradually pulling his hands away from their sides. They dont even notice until hes praising them for their fantastic gliding skill

weight loss not as a sign of growth but a sign of Horrible inner turmoil especially regarding minos prime

i need to know about your interpretations of sisyphus & minos … maybe even gabriel but you’re one of the only people with a coherent understanding of sisyphus i fear

Sisy: He is, of course, a very fun-loving charismatic person. Lights up a room the second he steps into one, and knows how to bring people together. He is not an angry person, he doesnt act on emotions, he thinks things through. ...hes realistic but chooses to find the good in things. He is a Very good liar and holds himself well under pressure. He's also INCREDIBLY spiteful as you may know from * gestures at his prime form *. I think he loves to roll that boulder at night knowing Heaven is wondering why he hasn't broken yet. Ohohoho!

as you may also know...he will look fate in its terrifying eyes and find a way to go out smiling.

He also fucking loves money. I think he is the king of greed for a reason. Shit ass

Mino: Very big presence in a room, but also very comforting. Hes cold and quiet but his words are very warm. He's a little more prone to acting on his emotions, and while he bites back his anger it still tends to influence him. He tends to be a little too optimistic...seeing how he thought gabriel would actually listen to him. I do think he struggles to let go of things, good or bad.

Despite being the king of lust and how funny it is to joke about i dont think he lives up to what might be behind that title. I think that is literally just him being the King of the layer of Lust.

Gaby: It's hard to sum him up. He has a lot of aspects. He *is*, at his core, an all-loving person, but the influence of the council and their warped ways have forced him to repress that. He does light up a room and he's very sociable, but the pressure of his duties (i like to picture) sort of prevent him from being able to socialize how he'd like to. He's a very warm presence and he's a good emotional rock...even if his advice will always be through the lens of faith and God's Love.

Despite how much people like to frame him as angry and pathetic and whiny, that is SO far from him. He's angry at V1 because it's (assumedly) the first time he's lost a battle in his *life*. He is not pathetic nor whiny. Have we all forgotten the Millions of sinners' lives he's fucked over (gestures at Leviathan).

They're also all very good with kids. Sisyphus plays a mean game of pretend, Minos can give a mean piggyback ride, and gabriel is just a delight to be around. He's also big enough stature-wise to be a jungle gym.

[minophus]

An example of a mutualistic relationship is Mirage and Gabriel.. Mirage may squish Gabriel around at her leisure and Gabriel may play with her wires and mechanical palmar digits

I have absolutely NO reason to be intrigued or interested in ultrakill (/lh) but your Gabriel, specifically the berserk looking steel penetrating bestial maw, is PROFOUNDLY intriguing, and I find myself wanting to draw them OFTEN. Do offer me some references of your choice whenever suits you best, no rush. 🌻

HI. ALMOST A MONTH LATER ..

[minophus]

people are too caught up misunderstanding/deliberately ignoring sisyphus' character to think about the humor/horror in minos' anger

He can be funny angry, perhaps pissy about tiny things, like his favorite fruit arriving spoiled or just Weird enough his high tastes cant bare it.. or Scary angry, about the injustices of heaven that he must endure and accept anyway

[minophus]

thats an interesting thought. The council never making gabriel do something he didnt want to do. They just framed it in such a way that hed have no need to try to justify it in his mind further

[minophus]

Minos probably thinks himself to be SO so weak. if not for sisyphus encouraging him to not wallow in misery to make up for how he “dismissed” the safety of his people for pacifism & being a diplomat He’d Probably Make Himself Rot

[minophus]

Sisyphus sleeping over in lust with minos but can't go to sleep because one of them keep saying stupid shit and making the other laugh

this is the cutest thing ever i think. Because they totally would.

[minophus]

i wonder, if the prime souls survived v1 and lived out the rest of their days, Who would (i imagine) Choose to "leave" first...i say leave bc i dont think theyd say Im Tired As Fuuuck Bro I Wanna Die theyd say theyre tired of pushing on for nothing and want to leave.

i think minos would bc how can you Ever recover from the loss he took and the trauma he got as a result of it? Laying in sisyphus' arms droning on about it and he feels his body crack. Hed apologize to him but he doesn't really know why. Apologize about not sticking around for longer. the like. Sisyphus has a healthy enough mind to where he can handle minos being gone and especially on his own will...itd be comforting, his heart only aching that minos couldnt die happy with himself. Think minos would weep that hes leaving sisyphus and his city behind, not even fully repaired or cleanee or the dead properly honored bc of his own selfish(in his mind!) woes.

Sisyphus going first is equally as interesting to me. Hes made peace with hjimself for a while, while minos never could. Hed probably acknowledge that minos would go soon after him bc w the events of lust i dont think he could handle beingon his own. Losing his Sun all over again. I think he'd go out holding the other very very close and giving him as much affection as he can before he shatters. He would also acknowledge it fully as Dying but still use a gentler term for it. Probably tacks on some shitty joke about the sunset to cheer up minos before he goes but it only makes him weep even more.

theres also the idea of them having some unspoken agreement about going out at the same time. I think it would happen while they slowly waltzed and ended w the finale of a kiss as their bodies cracked and soon shattered. Its the most peaceful end for the two of them
