Theology and research and writing

You guys know what I enjoy? Theology. Like, all the theology in the effing world, especially polytheism. That's my favorite kind. It's no secret I have an affinity for the gods of Olympus, but in revamping Malach's history (which I'm still in the process of transfering from this account), I'm looking at every fuckin' religion I can: Norse mythology, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Haitian Vodou, Ancient Egypt, Mayan and Incan stuff--ALL the things. And it's fantastic. I'm learning so much!

See, what I'm trying to do is figure out a way in which all these varying theories and such can mesh or overlap. You might be surprised to know that there is a TON of overlap between religions you wouldn't expect. For instance, Norse mythology and Christianity and Hinduism all have a "great flood." Pretty much every religion has a pair of "divine twins," obviously everyone has an Earth god/ess. Hinduism's Kamadeva and Olympus's Eros have an awful lot in common (although Kamadeva's bowstring is made out of bees???). I'm planning on including some Cthulhu mythos, too--Poseidon awkwardly skirting around Cthulhu's sleeping area, and I have my own version of Nyarlathotep with whom I'm totally in love. 

I'm having a lot of fun, and unless I get to talk about it out loud, I won't be able to adequately express how excited I am about all of it. This comic thing is going places, guys. God(s) willing, I mean. It's getting a lot more in-depth and daring than my prose usually goes. And it makes me feel SO cool. Also, Malach is sort of a god now, so that's really cool, too. As if she was able to become more badass--yet somehow, she managed. 

I dunno. I'm just sitting here bouncing in my seat and waiting for Jessica to come home from work so I can talk her ear off.

Also, on a related note, I currently have 30 tabs open in Chrome on my phone.
