ERSATZ RANT!!

I haven’t seem many people brining up the angels.

I’m really curious about ‘Pact with God’s War angels. religious symbolism is obviously a theme in ersatz, and we see that in the references to their god, religious characters, the short ‘Pact with God’, their soundtrack— y’all get it, but the concept of there being angles of holy war is really interesting to me. 

Obviously, the war is ‘holy’, given the consistent interference with God in the death of soldiers, but it feels kinda sacrilegious to me. Holy war is such an oxymoron; Holy, Sacred or dedicated to God/a religious purpose, and War, a state of armed conflict caused by the selfish acts of people in power. 

Angels are typically (from my experience in the church) meant to symbolize the gap between humans and God, and are portrayed as messengers of God’s will (which was what they were stated to be in an old instagram post by Greaver! I forgot the exact words but something along the lines of ‘something of such importance becomes nothing but a messenger) Apparently there are flocks of these things in the Ersatz world, enough for them to be seen not unlike common pigeons. When their services are not longer needed they are excused from them, which is so odd to me. Why wouldn’t you need a messenger of God in a HOLY WAR? because the war is beyond the point of ever ending, or perhaps people have forgotten who sponsors this eternal war?

In addition to that, I also noticed a while ago that the design of the ‘sun God being’ is constantly depicted with its eyes closed. Their god doesn’t see them, their god does not see the suffering of soldiers nor the war that rages under it’s donation. I feel like that’s connected to the angels being discharged of service, not by God itself, but by humans. If God were to discharge its angels, they would not still be among humans. 

Anyways, I’m just yapping, I’ve thought about this too much, lmk if y’all wanna add anything

did munroe take the candle from the communal alter (right before the lunch scene) for his own personal eriche alter? LOL

crying hysterically, eriche meaning so much to him. munroe still treating eriche patiently in comparison to the others. that's his face but even he knows that it isn't his eriche

Hallooo guten tag

I would like love some munroe if thats possible :^}

A little Munroe drawing!!! I have a hard time drawing him, usually, but he has one of my favorite designs behind Kelly and the Sun deity :-)

Munroe has been one of my favorite characters in general since the VA interviews, originally I thought he was gonna be super evil

Hiii hello sorry for exploding your notifications but oughg the way you draw and treat Kelly... You're a hero. We need more strong wide women who could throw a stump at you. If she punched us wed thank her

I was very amused by it, it’s fine!! Thank you so much :-D I am in no way normal about Kelly, I’m glad other people like my content for her. I have a few art ideas I’m working on right now, and a fic that I might or might not post.

She could snap my spine like a glow stick and I’d compliment her form
