An askblog dedicated to my Great God Grove AU, God of Redemption.

God of Redemption Asks!

... This is- This is working? Uh... oh! Yeah!

Hello everyone! This is your spekTACULAR god of redemption, the one and only Hekta! The Redeem'd god 'imself! Broadcasting my pwesence to tha rest of tha world! Well, whatever part of tha world this reaches.

I'll be hawnest, being tha god of redemption doesn't give you much love. A lot of tha folks still don't like me for my whole world-endin' stunt and all back when I was the young god of leadership, but that's all in tha past! Not that I wanna FORGET it, but I wanna move past it! Inspekta's not me anymore, I'll prove it in ANY WAY pawsible!

What's a good way to sway my publick image, yew might ask? Well I had the GREAT idea of letting you-alls get to interact with yewr goddies! I'll listen to anything yew say and ant-sur aaaall your questions, and I'll prove that I've moved past that old god of leadership. That's a prawmise!

OOC:

Oooooh this is my first ever ask blog and I will have a tough time keeping this up probably but I am EXCITED because this'll get me to actually do art

Quick little information before you interact: this will take place right after he ascends again, so a fresh new god. This is at least 33 years after the events of GGG, so take that into account when interacting. You also don't only have to ask Hekta things, though I do want him to be prioritized. There are other characters, canon AND ocs to ask things to! You can also ask me stuff, but just do that on my main blog @necromothster

I'm not picky with what you can and can't do, all that I ask is to not ask anything suggestive or nsfw in any way. I will not answer them.

If you end up making fanart or doing anything with Hekta, I wanna see it! Either tag this blog or @necromothster so that I can see it!

[hektagodofredemption]

I think everyone deserves a second chance (even if they .. tried to destroy the world.) so here, have this :) I hope you have a good day

I know I’m not tha best god or anything, but I’m trying my best..! Me and Inspekta, we’re both trying ta show how we’ve changed!

hiii mod here, tomorrow is a special day for this blog… Hekta is gonna be one whole year old tomorrow!!!

I’m sorry for the slowdown of this blog since I first made it, I’ve sadly both been losing general interest and been very busy with college. But I’m still so happy with all the support this old man and his old shadow have gotten in the past year <333 everyone who’s ever put in an ask or drawn Hekta have all really made me so happy and joyous, and I thank you all for it <333

I still do not plan to fully abandon this blog. Once I feel like I will no longer ever be updating due to whatever reason, I will likely put a post and update the pinned with a “defunct” or smth like that. While updates will be slow, Hekta’s comics will still be here.

[bugthingz]

Perhaps you may have heard of me,

I am your sense of urgency.

New pfp for my AU side blog @hektagodofredemption !!!

You guys should totally go check it out and interact with it and tell that ol man things…

[hektagodofredemption]

Hello Hekta! Could you maybe tell us more about Entropy? They seem interesting!

Yew CAN talk to them… and they are SOMETIMES smart and wise… but they used to get on my NERVES all those decades ago! Makin’ fun of me, sayin’ mean things and laughing… and their followers are WEIRD and CREEPY sometimes!

… though I GUESS they’ve been more supportive of me. A lot nicer. Not as… ant-tag-gone-istic.

Still not a fan.

Transcription under cut:

Entropy’s an old god. A bit younger than Bauhauzzo. They’re awl (all) mischievous and usually talkin’ ‘bout something like da balance of da world… Dey’re (they’re) a loose cannon in my opinion. But, they do know a lot… about as much as Bauhauzzo. Wise, but go to Bau for your wisdom! Not a big fan!

A small styrofoam box appears at the entrance to Hekta's domain, stamped with the insignia of the Grovian postal service. The ink is slightly smeared, but it's still legible.

Attached to it with a small piece of masking tape is a note, written in cursive with a blue pen:

"Sorry for the surprise gift. I don't know if it is a gift, really, you didn't ask for it, but still. I'm technically not supposed to do this, perishable food can't be mailed because it might expire and all that legal such-and-such, but I couldn't find anyone else to take this.

"I went to a restaurant for lunch, and it was good, but they tried to be nice and give me a burger, free of charge- I guess they didn’t get the memo that I don’t eat meat anymore. And I know it's not a veggie burger because I could smell the meat. You understand, right? I hope so, because I'm running out of space on this paper. 

"Anyway. Nobody else wanted the burger. If you don't want it, maybe I'll turn it into compost so it doesn’t go to waste?

"-- H. Misttree"

Inside is, as promised, a nearly-perfect burger. It seems to have been messed up a little by the trip, but it's still edible. It looks very good- it's understandable why Hector wouldn't want to waste it.

@couriers-of-the-grove

Yummy!! I haven’t had a good burgie in… a while. Cappy’s tew old to cook now - but Millie did learn from her dad.

And Inspekta hasn’t had one in three decades, so I gave him half. If I didn’t, I think he would’ve taken the whole burgie.

Thank you!!

How do the other gods feel about you after reascending? Are they more cautious around you?

They're all still very nice to me... even if I'm still not sure if I deserve it. I'm still surprised they offered it to me at all.

But, they forgave me a long time ago... faster than I expected. Actually, when I ascended again, they told me they were hoping I would have the opportunity to come back. I always thought King filled in my place, but there was still a hole in the pantheon...

... Although, I don't know how they'd feel with Inspekta. I'll be honest, I've not visited them a lot since finding out about Inspekta. He's not seen them yet, but.. I think he's scared to.

Transcription below cut

As far as I know, they're all fine with it! Fountaine asked before he ascended, and app-pair-runt-ly (apparently) they all agreed. I was really nervous they'd change their mind, but... they did ask me to ascend again, even 33 years ago. I don't know how happy the mortals are, but at least they want me here.

[hektagodofredemption]

hekta miniscule nachos. the tiniest.

Don't tell him I ate them (:

[hektagodofredemption]

would hekta enjoy an offering of some big nachoes instead perhaps?

Yummy!

OW

[hektagodofredemption]

What do you mean by "other things", Spek?

Either way, Millie was tiny back den. I doubt she would rememba me, which is prawbably for tha best. She has a papa, and dat papa is a much betta person than I was...

... I do almost miss her, though.

Transcription under cut:

Inspekta: I'm not really sure. It's tew blurry. I don't know if it was shared dreams, hull-loose-a-nations (hallucinations) or somethin' real? Divine power? I dunno if she'd rememba...

[hektagodofredemption]

Mod comment: don’t mind that I made Hekta’s glasses yellow. Tbh I’ve been drawing so much Hector and haven’t done stuff with Hekta in so long that I didn’t realize lmao

They’re supposed to have pink lenses lmao

God of Discord

… Well, it‘s rude to leave a god out.

Transcription under cut

Entropy: It looks like SOMEONE never bothered to introduce us! We are Entropy! God of Discord and Disorder!

[hektagodofredemption]

Fountaine, God of Health and Wellness

Was just testing a brush and made a whole ref for my character.

Anyway this is Fountaine (any prns), a god who ascended after King. In my AU, she ascends alongside Hekta and is the one who encourages him to reascend. Extra stuff beneath cut:

He was chosen to ascend to godhood as a last-ditch effort to save him. From a young age, they were constantly in and out of hospitals and generally very sickly, but it never stopped them from being a ray of sunshine and lighting up the lives of people around them. They did their best to help as many people as they could, taking inspiration from the early days of the Bizzyboys before they disbanded. Her efforts made her well loved, and when her health problems became dire she was put forth as a god vote. He became the God of Health and Wellness and a beam of light to the people of the Grove.

Some extra stuff:

They were a drainfolk, originally living in the Drain and moved to the Grove in their teenage years

He was 18 when King's rift ceremony happened, and a year later he met Hector. Hector was still trying to better himself at this point, and he decided to help him around the Grove especially considering he used to be a worshipper of Inspekta.

She's sapphic and has an awesome girlfriend named Victoria/Vicky

still beefs with a mfer from their mortal years named Virgil. fuck virgil
