#this is a Cain and Abel reference

[arthur-lesters-right-arm]

Why are you like this

Well a few centuries ago my brother bludgeoned me to death with a rock because he was jealous that I was God's favourite. So in order to have that never happen again I'm simply being as blasphemous as possible. Nobody will forsake me in a jealous rage if they have nothing to gain from it

#I'm doing this by posting disrespectfully about fictional men and so far it's worked #this is a Cain and Abel reference #probably inaccurate tho I did not read the bible man #cain and abel

Hey if anyone is still around from my D.Gray-Man theorizing days, I’ve got another crumb for you.

I’m almost certain that what Cross meant by “you will kill someone you care about” is that should Neah take over, he will kill what remains of Mana. A lot of people have also caught onto that!

But… I also think it has a double-meaning. Cross doesn’t want this to happen any more than we do. I think… I think part of him hopes Allen can win. And, I think, if that happens, Neah’s memory will be destroyed and he will die.

And if Neah is to be believed, Allen offered himself as a sacrifice willingly.

Now, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Past Allen did this entirely logically, if he really was the previous Bookman Junior. Maybe he looked at this from a detached perspective and decided this was the most likely solution to save the world. But something tells me that’s not the case.

Allen as a person… even before Mana, even as Red, he was emotional and empathetic and felt things extremely deeply.

I think he loved Neah.

And I’m afraid now, what he will do when he remembers that.

#not gonna specify romantic or platonic #because as much as that would be awesome from a queer perspective #I also think the lullaby Caterina sung for her boys was a reference to Allen #silver eyes in particular #something Allen has had all along #and I think Caterina might have had a biological child on top of the twins #and that child was Allen #idk maybe I’m crazy #but then again #Cain and Abel did have a third brother #almost forgot normal tags haha #DGM #d.gray-man #d gray man #dgrayman #Allen #Allen walker #mana #mana d campbell #Neah #Neah d campbell #mana walker #cross #Marian cross #theories #spoiler #spoilers

When I make new moots who have ocs, I always get excited at the idea of oc interactions.

And now I've realised our ocs are a generation apart, but I still think it would be fun to see them and interact and it creates interesting potential

bansgsjhsjshsjsnsha I love oc interactions as well!! And shhhhh it’s fine-

BUT I do actually have normal twst ocs

Ymir Velez, based off of yzma

His kuzco

Beau ozman, based off of the oogie boogie man

His boyfriend, Goth renzel, (and his little brother + Ymir’s parents) he’s based off of mother gothel

And these two based off of the stepsisters. They’re bastards/pos and they’re in two different dorms bc they were originally in heartslabyul, went “yeah this sucks we should go to the BEST dorm” and then neglected to mention what they both thought was the best dorm

I just discovered that there's a biblical figure named Seth who has absolutely nothing to do with the Seth that I named my protagonist, Seth, after

#no bc i was just doomscrolling one day and then i am confronted with the knowledge that #1. adam and eve actually had 3 kids #2. the 3rd kid's name is seth?? #JUMPSCARED BY THE FUCKING BIBLE ISTG #i had to go check if the seth i named her after was actually named seth #he is #no wait i'm still reeling actually #I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS A THIRD GUY IN THERE #seth is such an un-biblical name???? #and he's the opposite of what i was going for when i named seth #just as an fyi #seth is named after the egyptian god #the god if violence destruction and the desert. that guy. #no bc i really thought cain and abel were adam and eve's only children #i guess i never considered the logistics of it? #god these tags... #ramblies #writing #my wips #devourer of souls wip #writeblr #me when i accidentally reference the bible #hey which seth do you think people will associate her name with first? #just curious #bc i was raised atheist but had a big ancient egypt phase as a kid #my perception may be kinda skewed on that front

Haunting the narrative

#not kh #eden's garden #project eden's garden #wolfgang akire #cara koskinen #my posts #echo's art #for context: i like the idea that these two are friends or at least acquainted with each other #cuz i do find it interesting that he only refers to her by her first name despite rarely doing so for the others #(it seems more likely that he does out of respect. but eh. it's a neat detail regardless) #anyways i know cara's case was an undetermined amount of time ago + it's hard to tell since there's no bracelet on her sprites #so i can see that supporting tozu's the culprit theory if this was like a pretty long time ago #but if that's the case: i can see them being a potential parallel to cain and abel. it's a shot in the dark but 👍 #uh back to this though. i wouldn't exactly call it a ghost au? maybe more like the hallucinations in y*td? i just think they're neat

Ernest Barrias

The First Funerals

1883

This biblically inspired group features Adam and Eve carrying the body of their son Abel, victim of the jealousy of his brother Cain. Medal of Honor at the Salon of 1878, the plaster model was then considered "the highest manifestation of the feelings that sculpture can express". Nourished by formal references to Michelangelo or Bernini, Barrias nevertheless situates the mourning scene in a prehistoric fantasy evoked by a carved flint. Adam has a fierce face with Gallic features, another allusion to the first times of humanity. By contrast, the bodies of Eve and Abel claim to be antique models revised by the Renaissance.

Anyone else watch tadc and thought C&A stood for computing and analytics? No? Just me? I’ll see myself out

#ngl I didn’t think Cain & Abel #I didn’t grow up affiliated with religion tbf #I did grow up with a computer analytics father tho #tadc #maybe the c stands for cybernetics or cyberspace #cyberspace #or it’s like a brand of a computer game company like EA #I caught the last supper reference but that’s because of art school #it’s probably Cain and Abel (Caine and Bubble as I’ve seen theorized) #I also thought Pomni was making that expression at the dinner table bc of what she saw in the void #especially with Caine’s line ‘they’ll get totally spoiled’ #I guess most people understood it as Pomni finally grasping there’s no exit #I feel like Pomni’s just going to double down even harder #and she’ll probably ask Jax regarding the keys he has #Pomni tadc #Jax tadc #the amazing digital circus #I feel like episode 2 is going to reveal how Jax reacted to the inability to escape #and/or his interactions with the worm on a string character (I’m spitballing from that Gooseworx tumblr post) #or Jax and Pomni will search for an exit via his keys

For @nosebleedclub prompt xi. scene that takes place late at night in the kitchen

Cain tilled the soil while Abel raised the lamb;

gave his blood to it.

In the heart of God Cain was regarded unfavorably,

Abel was kept in favor since his birth.

And the boy father, Adam, did not notice his oldest son's resentment, only he beheld Cain to his fine keeping of the earth in which they all belonged. A happy family,

and a nuclear one.

A hardworking son Cain was, who's unfavor with God was verity and naked truth. What we cannot change will simply be, my son, said Adam to Cain, with you I've done my best.

And Adam was only Cain's father until Cain forgot what a father was, and he watered the soil with Abel's blood instead of his own, and he used a stone that which the earth had gave him. Eve wept over the sink in the kitchen, hitherto Adam said of it all and of his son's resentment

I'm not mad, just disappointed.

trying to get back into drawing a bit by doodling scene from our current Vampire the Masquerade game

anyway my character is named June and usually i play characters who are very much careful planners, but June is NOT and ive really been enjoying playing someone who doesn’t know a lot and just follows her (somewhat impulsive) gut

[image ID: Each picture is a black and white panel of a comic. In all panels, two vampires stand next to one another. On the left is a male nosferatu called Dimitri, holding a phone that is mostly obscured by his long black claws. He wears a tunic, and his right ear and eye are much bigger than his left. On the right is a short brujah woman named June, with short blond hair and dark roots, wearing a loose unzipped hoodie over a layered crop top. Dimitri’s dialog is highlighted in green, whereas June’s is highlighted with purple.

In the first panel, Dimitri looks down at the phone and asks, “Does anyone else know about this?” June looks up at him, head slightly tilted, her arms crossed, and replies, “Just Sally.” Dimitri says, “Did she tell anyone?” June says, “Not as far as I know.”

In the next panel, June looks away, one hand now raised in a noncommittal half shrug, and she continues, “I don’t know, she might have, I’m not her keeper.” Dimitri, still absorbed in the phone, says, “Good, good…”

In the third panel, what June said fully sinks in and Dimitri looks up from the phone to June. He says, “…You do know the point of that story was he should have been his brother’s keeper, right?” The word “should” is underlined. June’s posture has relaxed a little as she looks back to Dimitri, listening.

In the fourth and final panel, June’s arms have fallen somewhat as she looks at Dimitri blankly and says, “What story?” Dimitri deflates with a sigh.

guys help. ive become attached to another name

#i already have the two! i had everything figured out #i was going to name myself [REDACTED] Finn [lastname] and then go by my middle name #[REDACTED] is feminine but that's fine because the name means a lot to me! #but then as a joke we were like “oh let's go by the male versions of our names” #and i picked Cain (starts with the same letter as my deadname and kind of is similiar? I guess?) to go with a friend who picked Abel and. #well. #the issue here is i can't have three names. you get two and the last name #and i don't want to leave [REDACTED] behind #but i really clicked with Cain. I still haven't found a name that truly feels like it refers to me but i think i could learn to identify wi #h cain #but that might just be because it's the most similar to my deadname and so less of a shock #sigh #finn says shit #transgender #names

[moderndayamymarch]

all of the siblings grappling with how much they knew their father, shiv asking the old guard or kendall asserting that he knew his father in his speech (bc he must believe that he was underlined), only for it to be ewan, the man who they tried to deny the opportunity to speak, that knew logan. a funeral’s for the living and often people don’t speak the truth of a person, but ewan seems to know the core of logan roy; a scared child who equated silence with feeling powerless. the entire series is just asking: “am i my brother’s keeper?” over and over again.

#it all comes down to the siblings #“a husband or child can be replaced but who can grow me a new brother” #success #it’s cain and abel #it’s romulus and remus #its kendall roy swinging from the family tree #obligatory ethel cain reference #i’m thinking about that quote about how the bible is a response to cain’s question “am i my brothers keeper?”

My contribution to the Hazbin Hotel fandom

Here's some fanart of an OC character I could see potentially show up in season 2 of Hazbin Hotel, depending if they decide to introduce new characters or just stick to the ones they've got.

Cain - the world's first murderer with a heart of gold.

"I'm lucky, oh hell I'm blessed. 'Cause there's enough murder left in me that killing you ain't no choice at all."

Backstory

He is Adam's son who had wandered the earth for eons, carrying the mark of cain and his past mistakes with it. He was once the devout angel son of Adam but he was cast out of heaven after murdering his younger brother Abel. Due to the mark, he has an intense thirst for violence and spilling the blood of the damned. This forces him to develop a sadistic, crass nature as a shield to hide his anger at being rejected and abandoned by his family. He harbours guilt for murdering his brother and feels drowned by the pools of blood decorated with the souls he's killed. He kills so much that he has become an addiction and he wants to do anything to free himself of the mark's influence.

"Once you touch that darkness, it never goes away. Now the truth is, I'm past saving"

So when Cain first arrives in hell, he is accordingly invited to stay in the Hazbin Hotel as part of a deal Charlie makes with Adam. If Charlie is able to redeem Cain's soul and free him of the mark, then his soul can be reunited with his father and return to heaven and all extermination plans can be halted. If not, heaven and hell will fall into another war where so many lives will be needlessly lost. Cain genuinely wants to become a better person and be free of this cycle of torture so his soul can pass on freely but the reckless urge to cause violence drives him to make the wrong choices and it leads Charlie down the path of cleaning up his bloody messes. In Cain's mind, he feels trapped and the only way he can be free of this hell is by helping his brother Abel find peace. Like Cain, Abel's soul is condemned to hell but he has lost all hope and drowned himself in sex and booze. Cain tries to convince his brother to forgive him as they agree that the only way they can solve their problems and be free of the prophecy is by murdering Lucifer, the very person who gave him the mark. This puts Charlie in a difficult place as she is torn between protecting her father or taking Cain further down the path of redemption. But the question is...

Will Cain succumb to this endless cycle of violence or will he finally be free of the burden of his past?

To top it all off, he will be voiced by Jensen Ackles. There is no expectation in that.
