I think this is my favorite redesign of the robin suit ive ever seen.
The way you changed the scales to more a feather design, making the cape more like wings?! The coloring on the gloves to look like talons?! And the cute lil beak part on the mask?! Also more covering on his arms and legs. Perfection! <3
More Dick and Tim with the wings!au
So I really love the idea that Abaddon’s host’s father was a good person?
But based on how he was dressed in the flashback? I dont think he was the loving soft parent people think he was.
In the 1700’s there were a few major religions among the colonists that I’m aware of. Protestant, Anglican, Quaker, and Puritan.
And while fashions were fairly similar at the time the image we saw and based on the very basic design of Abaddon’s clothing I’m leaning very heavily towards two?
Puritan and Quaker.
The problem is Quakers didnt have established clergy, and Abaddon clearly states that the child’s father was priest of some skill. So its unlikely that the family was quaker.
(Screenshot of the priest grabbing abaddon, and a drawing of a 1700’s puritan man for comparison)
It’s more likely that Abaddon’s host was being raised puritan.
Now the Quakers had a fairly ahead of their time idea on how to raise children. Individualism was important as was encouraging interests and talents, and they believed that setting a good moral example was more important than punishment for misbehavior.
The Puritans, however, held the complete opposite view. Punishment was a very common occurrence, as was corporal punishment. Church attendance was strict, holidays were for worship not joy, children were expected to behave more like miniature adults as opposed to children for the most part. They set the example for excessively overbearing parents, and their church was very fire and brimstone.
As such, being a priest for a puritan community was a level of stress and demand that was otherwise unknown. The priest was meant to set the example for the entire town as to how to appear godly in your daily life, and his children would have been held to a similar high standard.
I dont believe in this case that his father would have been a kind and gentle man. I think he would have been a man driven nearly completely by how his congregation saw him and his family. And his son being taken by a demon would have presented an image he would not have wanted anyone to see. However, he made it a public event how he handled the demon in his childs body because he had no choice but to prove he chose god over his own flesh and blood.
That said? Could he have loved his child? Yes i think its very much the case. Children living past infancy was an accomplishment, and its likely he saw his son as someone to follow in his footsteps and continue their family legacy. But i don’t think he would have been a man who often comforted his child after nightmares.
I think his feelings would have been terribly complex about what happened to his child. I think there would have been grief, rage, devastation, shame towards his child, towards himself, guilt, righteousness in his choice of action, and this anger that some thing felt it could take his son from him. Children were not people, they were property until adulthood.
Anyway. I think Abaddon’s neat.
just a note both Puritan and Quaker religions don't have priests
Puritans didn't like the Catholics and their head of clergy would have been called a Minister and Quakers believe anyone can be a minister to themselves though some sects do have Pastors
"Priest of some skill" I think Abaddon was either ignorant or just using a catch all term for a religious leader
Oh my gosh! You’re absolutely right! I made this post at like 3 am so I definitely missed that aspect.
You’re correct that Quakers and Puritans actually also shared the same religious structure having ministers and appointed elders as opposed to priests. Both religions believed that everyone in the congregation were “ministers to themselves” as well.
So I think youre 1000% correct that Abaddon probably just assumed anyone with religious power and the ability to bind a demon was a priest, probably because up to that point in Christianity most branches had priests.
But this gives me a chance to talk about another difference between Quakers and Puritans, so thank you for that.
And that was the view on demons and such!
So I want to start off that ministers in the puritan faith were expected to be trained in higher education. Like Cambridge and such! This was to allow them to be able to interpret the scripture and stay up to date on current events so they could apply these to their .. for lack of a better word sermons.
Quakers on the other hand emphasized that anyone in the congregation could be a minister if they were so called and higher education was not required to learn to be a minister. It didnt hurt, but it wasnt as expected.
Which makes their beliefs on demons so very interesting because you would believe the college educated men would be less likely to believe in demons as a literal thing.
But the Puritans did. They believed very heavily that demons were a literal thing that could interfere could interfere in your mortal life. Possession was real, witchcraft was built off deals with hell and so on. Obviously the level of this belief varied from community to community, but some congregations was fervent in this belief and exorcisms were a common practice.
Where as with quakers, even in the 1700’s the framework for the modern belief that demons tend to lean more figurative had already started. It was more believed that demons were parable for poor moral compasses, making bad choices, choosing to do ill over good.
The fact the “priest” was so ready to do a public exorcism leans heavily towards Puritanism simply because of the context of the time. Depending on what year Abaddon took over the boy, the Salem witch trials could still be something that people alive remembered as they happened from 1692-1693. We know from history that these kinds of events spectacle.
Plus from a purely “making tv” point of view. Its significantly easier to use a religion that no longer exists as an “antagonist” towards one of your characters, than one that does.
Such as Quakers, Anglicans, and Protestants.
