Probably not the update people been waiting for but i needed to doodle God of Death Andrew and God of Life Aaron before i shared anything else...

from my previous post about Cultist Neil and God of Death Andrew, we have here the Twinyards.

Andrew, as the God of Death, is skeletal. Almost completely. To hide the decaying part of his body, he wears a heavy cloak around his neck and iron armor (or something I dunno clothes aren't my strong suit). He's been decaying slowly for most of his existence, an any exposed bone of his drains the life of humans he touches with said bone. SO most of his body is deadly. He still has most of his neck and his entire head intact, as well as parts of his lower half, but his torso, arms, and hands are just bones. Hmmmm wonder how that will work?

To keep up the skeleton appearance of death, he has on half of a skull (that isn't from any real creature or human, he crafted it himself to look scary lol) that followers/worshippers of him also have simple versions of to wear during rituals to him (he thinks it's stupid they do that but he won't remove his own mask to make them stop). His cloak also has a heavy hood, but if he's not wearing it (since it gets caught on his crown of thorns sometimes lmao) he also paints around his eyes in black for a shadowy look.

Meanwhile, Aaron as God of Life is bright and showy with his antlers (that Andrew could grow too, but they look like ram horns when he does and he doesn't like how they twist in on him) and moss and leaves and flowers all over. Animals like to follow him around, much to his annoyance, but his beautiful wife thinks they're cute and truthfully he loves the animals too. (Also no, I don't know who or what Katelyn is yet, just know he loves her in this universe too). Aaron is capable of healing anything with a touch; sometimes the worst off someone is the long he needs to keep his hand on them, but he's almost always willing to help.

For clothes, like I said with Andrew, I'm not that into designs (if it didn't matter, everyone would wear the same plain t-shirt and jeans lmao) so all I came up with was a cloak with leaves/foliage, a nice jacket/maybe blazer? underneath, and for his armor to mirror Andrew's, twisted together wood/branches/roots like a tree, but shaped to protect him or whatever lol I dunno I'll figure it out.

Despite being bright and showy, Aaron is just as much of a sourpuss as he is in canon, and it's possibly because the only thing he can't heal is Andrew's decaying. Also the cultists are annoying, what exactly are they after? Immortality? Not even a God is truly immortal in this world, they're just powerful in ways humans can't imagine.

That cultist Andrew's been hovering around doesn't seem so bad, but Aaron still hates the disrespectful way he's been spoken to by that idiot (and okay, maybe it's refreshing, but seriously Andrew? Him?)

Translated from Dutch, Monday is called Moonday.

Sunday is still Sunday.

The week starts with the Moon, and ends with the Sun.

Just thought that was pretty nice.

when it rains, the room where appa sleeps in leaks. he refuses to sleep elsewhere and i worry so much. it gets so cold in that room. it’s not even a bed. he sleeps on a couch even when we’ve put a bed in the room. why won’t he just come to our room where it’s warm. he sleeps with 5 different blankets. why doesn’t he just sleep under the warm one in our room. i worry every time it rains. it never leaks in the same place twice. i’m tired of trying to figure out the next spot. i’ve been worrying all my life. the heater in appa’s room is so tiny, it takes hours for the entire room to feel even vaguely warm. i wish he would just sleep in the warm room again. what am i supposed to do if i’m not worrying?
