Octopussmayhem - Chaotic Characters

No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.

Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death!

Why does Heaven hold everything to ransom?

In the Job intervention we see that Heaven actively allows Hell to commit evil acts against a loyal man of God. The cruelty of these acts are obvious to Crowley and Aziraphale and presumably Hell too. Yet the institution of Heaven is completely out of touch with why destroying a person's children might be wrong, even if you give them new children afterwards. Still worse, Heaven only sees fit to reward Job with new children if he continues to love God after seeing his own children crushed under a building. We know that this does not track with the idea of the side that's supposed to represent goodness, truth and light.

It is the same with Armageddon, Heaven promises everlasting peace but at the cost of all creation. Hell certainly has its part to play, of course , but you'd generally chalk the destruction of all creation up to being an evil thing, so Hell's really just doing their job. Heaven on the other hand holds the world ransom for the sake of testing it.

With Heaven operating in this way surely Hell becomes a default state with anything that Heaven offers as an alternative qualifying as the greatest good despite just being a bit better than eternal torment. As Metatron points out to Maggie, given the choice between coffee and death, people will choose coffee every time. It seems that Heaven uses good as a means to control humans (and Angels) rather than as ends to itself which many humans understand it to be.

Of course it's all ineffable, but I don't think that Aziraphale was wrong to want to go and make things better in Heaven (and presumably down here too), rather than abandon creation to its whims. But that doesn't make his euphoria about being invited back any less spooky. I hope he's okay up there, he is my fave.

This is lovely.

Here's some of the inks from my most recent illustrations! All of my work starts as brush and ink on bristol paper, and then I scan it into clip studio paint to color it. From there I tend to overwork it to hell, delete everything, start again, and then the second time around I usually remember to keep it simple and actually manage to finish it

All of these pieces are now up for sale at Athenaeum Comic Art! One of the main ways I'm supporting myself while I finish my graphic novel is original art sales, so any signal boosting is very appreciated! :3
