RAPHAEL: My, my, what manner of place is this?

[doomedyuri]

My, my, what manner of place is this? A patch of ground to call home. Some rest for the wicked after all. What would suit the occasion?

Archangels - Destructive

This was a bit of an experiment I did. I did the Archangels as the destructive parts of their elements.

Michael — Fire & Lava

Raphael — Thunder & Lightning

Lucifer — Water & Ice / Tsunamis & Blizzards

Gabriel — Hurricanes

I'll post the separated squares tomorrow.

I'm planning on doing a creative version at some point

Michael — Raphael — Lucifer — Gabriel

hello i have many questions about jay's family!!! who is jay's mom, exactly, other than being a supercriminal? did she repent from her villainous ways and that's why she put jay in foster care? why is dawnstar the world's hugest douche? does jay's sibling also have metahuman powers? what's their relationship with jay like? ALSO what would jay and raphael and psyche all dress up as for halloween, this is very important

WRUBS GREMLIN HANDS TOGETHER

who is jay's mom, exactly, other than being a supercriminal? 

Jay’s mom, who I swear I’m going to give a name SOMETIME THIS MONTH, is an illusionist! Specifically, she maintains a localized (to herself and a small number of people in a close radius) glamour of sorts to alter perceived appearances in the eyes of others. (You may notice that this is, technically, a bit of light manipulation also, if somewhat limited and hyper-refined. She and Dawnstar are a match made in hell.)

did she repent from her villainous ways and that's why she put jay in foster care?

Short answer: NOPE. 

Long answer: NOPE, she put him into foster care as a way to ensure there wasn’t a giant power struggle between him and Dawnstar the second he was old enough to fight... but also she had just enough of a sliver of a conscience to not want to let Dawnstar straight-up murder an infant to ensure the same. 

These days, she still grips the money and influence she’s accrued partnered (romantically and professionally) with Dawnstar just as tightly as she ever did. Sidebar: She and Dawnstar are still together, like the worst power couple ever!

why is dawnstar the world's hugest douche? 

Well not to get into like, the nature of evil or anything in trying to glean his terrible motivations but:

Basically, he realized fairly early on that metahuman abilities can be used to accrue wealth and influence. Similarly, he was quick to notice that being a conniving asshole can also be used to accrue wealth and influence, as well as throwing people like you (read: metahumans, specifically ones with less flashy/pretty abilities) under the bus in an effort to get friendly with the people who have already Made It. On a related note, apparently you can do this with shockingly few consequences if you’re a smooth-talking white dude.

does jay's sibling also have metahuman powers? 

They do!

what's their relationship with jay like? 

For most of their life, their relationship was that the two of them were completely unaware of one another. However, as Jay started to actually do things that got him into the public eye (one day I gotta talk about how he accidentally got a cult), Sibling Who I’m Temporarily Calling Sparky, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, suddenly became aware of the physics-fucking gay dingus and he is a problem.

Ergo, in the immediate after, their relationship to Jay is “suddenly problem to be removed at all costs,” firstly to ensure the family doesn’t get fucked over and secondly to ensure the planet doesn’t get obliterated. 

Whether this perception and dynamic will change with time... we’ll see. :^)

ALSO what would jay and raphael and psyche all dress up as for halloween

I AGREE THIS IS CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT and actually @keishid and I were in fact talking about this in the car JUST TODAY. We have determined that on at least one occasion, Jay and Raphael, at least, have gone in costume as Dean and Castiel, respectively. (There was a lot of finagling to get actual clothes on Raphael that wouldn’t either horribly constrict his wings or just get obliterated when he tried to move but they did it.) They’ve also gone as Generic Pokemon Trainer and Pigeot. 

AS A TRIO SET, however... the big three from Harry Potter is A) too easy and also B) really hard when one of you is part bird. Which, it turns out, is the main problem with trying to coordinate a lot of group costumes! Ugh! So in the end, they tend to just figure out their own separate couples things, with Jay and Raphael doing one nice set while Psyche and Ava figure out another. (The year that the boys were Dean and Castiel, Psyche and Ava were rockin’ some Assassin Lesbians. It was fantastic.)

“Elric...” He hadn’t had a chance to speak to him since everything that he had happened with the sword.

Am I a friend? Potentially. An adversary? Conceivably. But... a savior? That's for certain.

Love is an act of consumption, as if the heart has teeth to justify its hunger.
