Deity 1: Anubis, God of The Underworld and Mummification
You didnโt think I only work with demons, did you? Nope, I also work with deities. Betcha everyone on Furbooru is a fan of this good boi, Anubis! He is, fortunately, one of the most popular deities, so you may already be familiar with his personality!
Anubis is highly stoic, usually bordering on angry. Thatโs not to say heโs unfriendly - quite the contrary. Heโs just overworked and tired, and also lonesome. People can talk for quite a while sometimes, which eats up a lot of his time. He has great patience but is quite no-nonsense if you test it too much. But deep down, he is kind.
You may not be aware of what Anubisโ job is. If you die, and no one intervenes to send you back, you will be greeted by Anubis. Your heart
will be weighed against a feather on his scales. Should your heart be heavy, the path Anubis sends you on will not be a good one. Should it weigh equal to the feather, you will be put on a good path, and may even be given choice. So, what makes your heart heavy? Sin.
I do not believe that sin is as contemporary Christians tend to say it is. The Seven Deadly Sins are more of a warning than anything else - they are acceptable to indulge in, so long as done in reasonable moderation. You are not greedy if you buy that video game you want, for example. Remember, the ancient ones tend to like such things. So, donโt fear things that bring you comfort, and follow your dreams. Being queer is also, obviously, not a sin in the slightest. What, then, are sins? The truly bad things. Excessive greed you make no good with. Murder. Those kinds of things. So, if you havenโt made much bad in your life, youโre already on a good track!
Why, then, does Anubis like me so much? For one, Iโve been thinking about my sins andโฆ I really donโt have many? Bad things Iโve done have tended to be out of necessity. The only time in my life Iโd say I brought harm to anyone was when I stole money from my mother so I could run away from home - which was something I needed to do. Pazuzu probably even advised me to do so. Another reason Anubis likes me is because Iโve been making his job easier. He finds it impressive that Iโve been able to save lives so many times while just sitting here on my computer, and commends how hard Iโve fought for my own life. Were I to die, I probably would, indeed, be taken to my castle. He is also flattered by the fact I have had some attraction to him - donโt feel weird or embarrassed if youโve done that with anyone I talk about! Across the media I have watched in order to get to know the ancient ones, they are often paired up differently; basically, AUs. So, if youโve had attraction to Pazuzu, for example, itโs simply an AU where he was around your age, had no familial relation to you, etc. They like merriment, and yes that includes that kind of merriment, nya nya >^_^<
So, why keep living? Itโs simple. I am not done with my journey through this life yet, and have much good to still offer the world. I used to think Iโd die and that would be it - which seemed so boring to me. Now I know what awaits me, but the best path is obviously to make the most of this life before I go. After all, as I have speculated previously, were I to die, I donโt think I would be the only one. People love and depend on me being there that much. And thatโs a good thing in the eyes of Anubis and everyone else. Anubis also really hates it when people kill themselves, as it adds to his already-mountainous workload. It also tends to mean they get put down worse paths, as they often have not had much chance to find enlightenment or make much good. Patience is also a virtue.
So then, when my time is up, which path will I choose? Easy, whichever one contains my castle. Likely hell, but, considering reincarnation is real, I could also be met with the five paths of Buddhist lore. The sixth is the human realm, so that one is ruled out. In that case, my castle would either be in hell or in asura. I have many years ahead of me to figure out which it is, but considering My Chemical Romance are all a good deal older than me, it may simply be a matter of whichever path the G-note is coming from.
So hang in there, please, and keep living as well as you can >^_^< Make Anubis proud!
Working with Anubis provides many benefits. He can strengthen your ability to see future paths, and is particularly skilled at auras! I was actually seeing aura colours back when I was assigning people Killjoy colours, nya ::3 My dried-out hands also resemble the hands of a mummy, a nice ode to Anubis I wear with pride.
