Huevember day 4: The Penitent

—

O corse of the Locked Tomb, I have loved thee all my life, with mine whole soul, and with mine whole strength. I would to God that I find grace in thy eyes. Destroy me according to thy word, for I love thee. ✨⚔️💀⚔️✨

Tried on the WIP; looking good so far!

"We're talking low prices."

It's Alecto, in her favorite t-shirt that she never got to wear from another life! I do hope there's still some Nona in her somewhere, but I also fully support her on her quest for revenge. Come on, Barbie-- let's go party.

Playing around with designs for Alecto ! Hollywood Hair Barbie meets Frankstein's Monster ! She's so silly and not full of rage at all :3c

"Then Alecto remembered the vow, and turned back upon the altar to face the second child and raised the sword with wrath in her heart, for they meant to bring destruction upon her." - Nona the Ninth, epilogue

“It had bewildered her, back at Canaan House, how the whole of her always seemed to come back to Gideon. For one brief and beautiful space in time, she had welcomed it: that microcosm of eternity between forgiveness and the slow, uncomprehending agony of the fall. Gideon rolling up her shirt sleeves. Gideon dappled in shadow, breaking promises. One idiot with a sword and an asymmetrical smile had proved to be Harrow’s end: her apocalypse swifter than the death of the Emperor and the sun with him.”

I mean when you look at it from an eldritch perspective, the amount of effort Earth would have had to exert to not only coalesce her mind into a being capable of perceiving John, formulating a plan, and then blessing John with just enough power to execute the plan without blowing him up or causing a major cataclysm, all while in levels of agony incomprehensible to the mortal mind, would have been titanic. As far as we know, the Earth never did anything before that compared to what she did to John Gaius, and the fact that he wasn't just straight up melted by her attempts is miraculous. She figured out he was trying to help, she figured out that he could help, she figured out how she could help him, and then she gave him the exact power he needed to complete his cryonics experiments and save her. A near impossible feat of godly comprehension and planning from a god who was fundamentally never meant to do either of those things but was in so much pain and so much love she briefly overcame her own nature and rebirthed herself a champion.

And then he fucked it all up, ate her, vomited her into Avenging Angel Barbie, and stuck her in an ice tray.

I pray the tomb is shut forever ❌

I pray the stone is never rolled away 🪨

I pray that which was buried 👱🏻‍♀️ remains buried, insensate, in perpetual rest 😴 with closed eye and stilled brain 🧠

I pray it lives 🌍

I pray it sleeps 🛏

I pray for the needs of the Emperor All-Giving 🍜, the Undying King 👑 , His Virtues 🍵 and his men 🖐️

I pray for the Second House 🪖, the Third ♊, the Fourth 💪, the Fifth 👻; the Sixth 🤓, Seventh 🩼, and Eighth 👴🏽

I pray for the Ninth House 🦴, and I pray for it to be fruitful 🦷

I pray for the soldiers and adepts far from home 😢, and all those parts of the Empire that live in unrest and disquiet 🙏

Let it be so 💀

Speaking of Alecto~ I haven’t posted any of my wips!

She’s about 85% done but I keep running into roadblocks of other projects I need to prioritize 😩

Also I’ve been doing so many push-ups 🥵

POV: You are John Gaius

Thinking about how tragic it was for the soul of the Earth to be consumed by man but how from that tragedy new power grew of god-like capacity. Thinking about the juxtaposition between a god-like man consuming the soul of a planet, becoming an all-powerful, nearly immortal but ageless being. And how that god-like human was granted power over other bodies and bones and souls, to do with what he wished. And how he shared this knowledge (some, not all) with his closest comrades, but failed to make any mention of the potential they too could uncover like he. So he named them Saints in his worship.

Thinking about how when this god-like man faced the destruction of an entire solar system, he very abruptly stripped the souls of nine planets in their resurrection, creating monsters from their ashes. A swarm of Beasts who continued to haunt him and chase both him and his Saints for thousands of years. And it is by His hand these Beasts continue to exist and continue to haunt and haunt and haunt, at the expense of both himself and his dearest, unknowing Saints.

Thinking about how close he keeps the secret of the First Beast to his chest away from his beloved Saints of worship, who possess power like he but not nearly to the same degree. And how endless their quest to destroy these beasts must feel as they attempt to atone for the sins of their god-like man who has chosen to reveal only so much.

Maybe, just maybe, the solution is not to destroy more planets, to take more life — rather, they must consume the beasts whole and eat, and eat, and eat like this god-like man once did to obtain his god-like power.

Perhaps, that is the ultimate tragedy of it all, and the burden of this god-like man’s secret.

That while the resurgence of humanity worships his status and only His, it is only because he lacks the honesty — the selflessness — to create more god-like souls of his own, and so he too has fallen victim to the extent of his power over bodies and souls and bones for far, far, far too long.
