(I was wondering why that disappeared at first lmao-)

*puts on my Religion Major hat*

I absolutely see your vision and I laughed so hard when I read that reply. I think a lot of us have a really indoctrinated view of The Book of Job from preachers/priests that really do mean well but aren’t really pedaling the originally intended message of the story (the messages we have now aren’t anything to sneeze at. It’s beautiful how religion adapts over time).

Anyway, the parallels are KINDA WHACK WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT! While Arthur certainly did not have the ideal life like Job did at first, there definitely is that message of earth shattering sudden change as a part of a deal with deities of much higher status than mortals. It’s interesting to think about!

arkayne is so fascinating to me because it's such a crackship but it's also like. what if a god was obsessed with seeing you reach your limit. what if you were the only mortal that stood out to him and neither of you understand why. what if he spent time watching your life so he could understand only to come up empty and now he's waiting to mess with you until you break.
