The curtains around Mottom getting soiled in juices from her god level pigging out is a nice detail.

...Hm. I wonder, why did they have to become children in order to go see her husband? Something about that seems off. And by "something" I mean "a lot of things". Edit: To sneak around in a form other than her true form and her "true" form, perhaps?

Wow, though, that is some impressive tailoring.

Mottom's giving me a very Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts vibe from these shenanigans, except instead of "OFF WITH HER HEAD", it's "BECOME A TREE".

Eternal life was put forward as a condition of the offer Mottom is going to make, and age regression seems to be a consequence of making that happen. Why do you assume it's necessary just to see Mottom's husband?

As an aside, I really hope all that molting skin just magically burns away or something, or their clothes are going to be full of papery epidermis and dead nails :gonk:

Was gonna say, the more screen time Mottom has, the more I like her. Being a self-aware monster is already enough to be interesting, and she just keeps piling on the style.

I have faith that the other demiurges are going to have their own flair as well, though.

Mottom looks like she's having the time of her life.

Like people have said before, I doubt it's often there are people she gets to interact with on this level.

The demi urges are the worst possible sort of gods. Even existing in a universe with Lovecraftian deities would be preferable because at least they don't care and are beyond ego or morality. These jerks are like the Greek gods, except they're always on their worst behavior.

I mean they pretty much were. They were colossal gently caress ups who took over from the people that actually did everything important, and then all they did was gently caress around and be paranoid about getting merked themselves. They are the shittiest pantheon in human history.

Someone once described Zeus and Hera as mythological Al and Peggy Bundy, and it fits so well that it's almost not funny.

say what you want about Incubus, but at least he gave Allison a relatively cordial greeting instead of just showing up in the form of a white bull and going uhh, hey baby. this immediately makes him less of a sleaze than Zeus.

e. also the shittiest pantheon is probably one of those Slavic ones where you have to sacrifice to Tchernobog not because you like the guy or you need your crops to grow, but because he will loving get you if you dont.

Okay, they were mostly bad, but Prometheus (granted, a titan) shaped the clay of man, and Athena gave humans breath. Prometheus also gave man fire (and got royally hosed for it), and Athena gave man art, culture, craft, and olives. So basically, the greek gods were pretty poo poo, except for two of them that were pretty rad. Also, Hades totally got a bum rap.

Athena was alright, except for all those times she flew off the handle and turned someone into something lovely because they had the brazen audacity to think they were pretty good at something.

but, uh, i guess when you compare that to Artemis and Apollo murdering an entire family because the mother was just a little too proud of her sons, Athena is pretty level-headed

The fiction accompanying this gives me the impression that time wasn't exactly as linear as it is now in the time of the gods, hence why YISUN still shows up to say poo poo in these stories despite having killed himself to make all the gods in the first drat place.

Or these stories are all bullshit parables made up by a multiversal Aesop.

One time I got into an IRC chat with Kirkbride and he showed up drunk, called me IRC a human being like 8 times, talked about how Meridia and Kynareth were related (somehow), and then sent me a good book. True story.

And maybe trying to distill the actual beliefs of disparate hellenic regions and peoples into a "canon" by the way of the most popular fairy tales is a very silly endeavour.
