cooper howard would rather believe that the ills of america are caused by individual bad actors, even if the bad actor in question is the love of his life and mother of his child, than admit that the system he has killed to defend is the problem. he would rather imagine that the demon in the snow was just a demon rather than an engineered predator that his superiors set loose on the battlefield with no regard for human lives. he can't imagine a world where his own government is culpable for the very things he was told only happened in red countries, because he doesn't want to see himself as a villain. after all, he's always justified in the movies, right? always plays the good guy, right?

charlie whiteknife and kate williams and robert house can call coop a killer over and over and over and he would sooner pass blame than admit that he is capable of and has done terrible things in the name of "country" and "family" long before he ever stepped foot on the set of a vault-tec commercial, and that barb is right: there are worse people than her, and they form the head of a vast machine, and the entire howard family is a part of it. who did you help end the world by just following orders? whose propaganda have you been peddling for decades? who advances the doomsday clock if not you?

You're just jealous the faeries didn't invite YOU to take all the iron out of your pockets and nap in the mushroom circle.

The Ghoul is Odysseus-coded to me

Having a satanic identity with christian parents is a distinctly uncomfortable state to live in. Barring any of their other thoughts about my nonhumanity i'm well aware if any of them found out I'm specifically a Nameless Ghoul, a demon summoned from the pits of hell to serve a satanic ministry, they'd lose their minds because everything I am goes against their perception of what is good and evil.

Now I am not claiming that "my christian parents hate my nonhumanity" is a unique experience, far from it. Many of us with traditionally christian families have to suffer through the knowledge that any amount of expressing our true selves means being told we're damned to hell or running the risk of being kicked out and ostracized from our own homes. I'm lucky in that regard, having an apartment I can live in and pay for of my own accord, but I understand not all are.

I'm specifically talking here about the fact that I Am A Creature Irreversably Bound To The Imagery Of Satan. The Devil. Lucifer. Whatever you call him. Do I actually believe he exists? That's.. complicated. I'd like to think I come from somewhere. But I don't know. I have my own religious beliefs but I don't necessarily think i'm the only correct one. But what I Am is bound to his particular image. And yet I still visit and take residence in a christian home for the holidays. I'm permitted under their roof because they do not know i'm a son of their enemy. So to speak. It feels weird.. they'd pray for my fall back to the pits if they knew what ate their food and laughed along with their jokes and slept in their beds. I feel like an infiltrator and I mask for safety. I guess that's my mask in this situation, not a literal one but putting on the secondary image of a normal child. It helps Azem can take over for me at times.

Reaching out to the broader demonkin community here I suppose with this post. I doubt this is a particularly unique experience but I want to hear from fellow hellspawn on this. Or anyone really. What's this been like for you?
