Cheshy would you mind lore dumping on the little ball thats god/holy spirit 👉👈 whats that thing's business?
Hello, you might have seen this guy floating around on this blog, tagged Holy Spirit/God. But what's his deal? Let's check that together.
Irl speaking, the orb was born two years ago as a need to conceptualize a Holy Spirit character, while I had the "Father" concept still to think about. Long story short, I couldn't bring myself to do a stereotypical God as an old man in the sky and I felt it was restricting to have God be only humanoid and the orb took over both roles. Hence, the Holy Spirit/God. The earliest sketch research already had him being a ball of light, formless, and shape-shifting at the same time.
The way the orb ended up being depicted as also felt the closest I could end up describing how I felt about the concept of deity, creator, and omniscient being.
In lore wise, the orb is a manifestation of the Lord/Creator/God, whatever you want to call him. Mostly a flux of energy, an invisible being only able to be perceived by other spirits, he can sometimes appear to humans and animals, in the form of a ball of light. People won't report having the same sensations after having spoken with it, describing various type of feelings, or having heard different kind of voices from him; whether it has been an intimidating, terrifying, comforting or confusing interaction.
To interact with his surroundings, he's capable of making hands or legs appear but also shape-shift into anything possible. Birds, burning bush and cloud are a common occurrence when appearing to humans, but not limited to only this. He's also capable of taking on a more humanoid shape, but he stays formless apart from an embroidered tunic and mantle.
Color testing just beneath this, I do prefer the green one in the end.
The orb is also known to change "shape" based on his "mood" and has been seen taking a sort of lunar form while resting; it becomes sparkling and thundering when he's growing upset. No humans until now have been able to perceive accurately what sets him off into these particular moods, though.
The orb being a shapeless and shape-shifting spirit is able to appear as either very small or very huge, and this with ease.
John for scaling.
The orb is capable of "possessing" humans, but he will mostly prefer using visions or other ways of communication since after some minutes, a normal human body would come to suffer bearing such a spirit inside of them.
John as an example:
Trivial fact: for an unknown reason, it has been reported that the orb has a deep affection towards beetles. No one truly knows why, and when asked, he will simply reply that he loves all of his creations equally. (Jesus seems to have gotten the liking as well, though).
Trying to perceive the orb can rapidly seem like a fruitless quest, as the human mind isn't able on its own to really fully grasp the extent of him. The same goes for applying human values and morals into the orb; trying to anthropomorphize him as well could result in even more confusion and questioning, not that's a bad thing, however. It is said that even celestial and demonic beings can't fully grasp him, to be honest.
Finally, the orb is not to be confused with Metatron, which is an archangel of huge size and with a light filled head. Metatron is often used by the orb to carry his voice through Heaven, but the archangel stays his own person.
Some confusion can also happen with the humanoid version of the archangel Michael, who's also his own person.
in my opinion tumblr is the superior social media site because I could say something like 'i think Jesus and Judas should fuck each other raw. for the plot' and on any other website (Twitter, for example) I would be told to seek psychological help, but on Tumblr I would just be sent an anonymous ask that has "only the finest for you m'lord" and a link to a 180k jesus/judas found family angst with a happy ending fic on ao3. and I just think that's nice.
