ok but in your AU… what’s the vibe between Judas and Jesus? ?? 👀
Love your art and the way you build lore in this AU btw 💛
this vibe was a little complicated 👀 thank you for interest! I hope this answer won't disappoint you ✨
POV: your friend chose diplomacy while you're trying to kill everyone
Asileverse!AU: Judas Iscariot
from the very beginning their relationship wasn't hostile, just a few... complex, and there were several reasons for this!
at first, Judas Iscariot was from the province of Judea; Jesus himself and his entire inner circle were from the province of Galilee, so this built a wall between them
secondly, before becoming an apostle, Judas was a tax collector (people didn't like him very much for his pickiness and theft)
yes, Jesus entrusted him with financial affairs, but some doubted this decision and believed that Judas could take part of the money
the most important thing, Judas was a Zealot, which wasn't the main problem (besides him, the Zealot apostles were Peter, his brother Andrew and Simon, the half-brother of Jesus), but Judas supported the Sicarii movement and was EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the rabbi's pacifist route
no, Judas, NO, we won't start a revolution right now, people need some time and no one needs blood!
actually, this was the main reason for all this betrayal story: Judas believed that in this way he would provoke Jesus to active resistance, but sadly he didn't knew him well lol
Jesus knew that Judas was the least peaceful of companions, so he would have been more upset if someone else had committed the betrayal that provoked the fulfillment of the prophecy
several decades later the First Jewish-Roman War happened 🌿
ah yes, Judas REALLY had dark red hair!
