Short explanation: Thicker Than Water is about two young men traveling across the United States in an effort to stop the Apocalypse

Long explanation:

Thicker Than Water is a theology-inspired supernatural drama and romance. The story focuses on two men, Sam and Abe, as they travel across the US in an attempt to stop the Prophet, Sam's absent father, from bringing about the Apocalypse.

Sam, a human, is sought out by Abe, a demon, due to his connections with the Prophet, Hugh. Although Abe is originally from a prominent family in Hell, he has been living on Earth for quite some with his friend, Sariel, and their daughter, Izzy. He left home due to feeling inadequate, unable to use magic.

At first, Sam is skeptical about the idea of the Apocalypse but quickly comes around after nearly being slashed in half by Bethnael, a demon working with Hugh and Abe's brother. She's working with Hugh in the hopes of getting her brother to come home.

Hugh's motivations lie in the absence of the presence of God.

In TTW, godhood is passed down when the previous god, Incarnation, dies. The previous Incarnation, Adam, was obsessed with the idea of continuing his personhood and grasp on power through this passing down of power. He gathered a group of angels (the Seraphim) in an attempt to transfer his soul and power into them, effectively killing the bodys original inhabitant.

The strongest candidate, Lucifer, rebelled alongside Azazel, Belphegor, Samyaza, and Gadreel, Adam's son and Abe's father. They all became Cursed in the process, with Lucifer suffering the worst of it, with so much Divine power being transferred into their body that they became a sort of Incarnation themself.

The weakest candidate, Azrael, opted to stay behind to care for the Archangels, Adam's second try. This time, he planned to raise them from a young age in order to foster obedience. Thus, unlike the Seraphim, the Archangels were raised as siblings.

The strongest candidates this time were Michael and Uriel. Adam nearly got his wish, but before he could transfer his soul into one of them, Azrael killed him and became the new Incarnation. However, they promptly fled, fearing their body would break down and explode.

Which brings us back to the present. Heaven has no Incarnation occupying its throne and Hugh believes this is due to humanity being a blight upon the earth. In am effort to call God back, he plans to break the 7 seals and bring about the Apocalypse.

It's about mistakes being made and hurtful things never really leaving you. It's about love too and the need to make up with your sibling even if it might be too late. And sometimes it is.

Some Sillay Thangs :

Sam works at a coffee shop and thats where he meets Abe and they go on a date and that's when Beth goes "BOO!" and tries to bifurcate his ass

It used to be called "The Book" bc Hugh left a journal about all his findings but it's been totally scrapped

Lucifer and Azrael doomed yaoi yuri

Azazel is Abe's mommy and one of the reasons she rebelled is bc she was pregnant with her first child at the time. Her and Gadreel are too much tbh ugh

Belphegor was also pregnant at the time but the father was a cathedral guard. Their ass was NOT bringing him along. Taking that man's baby to hell.

Related, Belphegor was severely injured in the Fall, so much so that he was barely able to give birth bc his body was literally morphing into something other than angelic (draconic). Bc of this their kid, Belial, was born with more demonic features (big ass ears).

The sixth Seraphim, Metatron, had their soul so severely damaged by Adam that they're magic kept spilling out and contorting their physical form. So they got locked up in the grand library and now they stalk its many aisles.

In TTW, people in the Realm ("fantasy" land slightly removed from Earth. Not typically able to be entered by humans) have sort of layers to them. At the very centre is magic and then their soul and then their physical form (magic -> soul -> physical form).

Magic in its raw form is very volatile, but the soul acts a nullifier for oneself from their own magic. However, if the soul were to be damaged (a feat only really capable via Incarnations or the King of the Forest), then ones own magic becomes harmful, sort of poisoning you from the inside. Depending on the environment, you can also become beyond your physical form (think "biblically accurate" angels)

They way I could yap abt ttw. Ugh it's been so long since I explained it to anyone. Yap yap yap
