Hey, kind of ducked out of town for a couple days to see the younger sister. Wasn’t trying to ignore these Asks–just didn’t trust myself to answer them on my phone. I’ve got an early shift tomorrow (5am), so I’m off to bed now & will try to get through them tomorrow afternoon. Sorry & thanks! :D :D D

okay but what if angels are black holes and halos are just the light warping around them being pulled in by gravity

WELL HERE IS THE THING, RIGHT? black holes you basically literally have to be in their gravity like pretty much on top of them to be sucked in. so that’s not really an issue. it’s TERRIFYING sure, but explains a few things which I will list:

• my astronomy teacher said if you were somehow able to survive entering a black hole and reached the bottom or singularity, the way time works is that you would be able to see the entire universe laid out - like you’d know when the universe ended if you looked back outwards
  
• which falls into line with the idea that the angels know all of time and everything except when it will all end precisely (or scientifically, the collapse of this universe is unknown, but supposing angels were black holes they would see until this unknown point)
• matter falling into a black hole creates a disc of light which is probably among the literal BRIGHTEST things in the universe 
• there are angels which are supposed to be the wheels of God’s Chariot, so it would make sense if, according to theories, that there ARE massive blackholes at the center of all galaxies which is what cause them to rotate, and those black holes are angels which make the galaxy spin. 
• black holes were formed sometime after the big bang, which lines into the story of creation, that the angels came after the universe. 
• angels can choose to physically manifest like humans, but aren’t actually. it’s said that you cannot survive looking at them or hearing them directly. NASA says that the “note” a black hole emits is the deepest sound found in the universe. i am just guessing here but you would probably die if you heard it up close instead of a bazillion light years away. ALSO side note cool fact apparently that “note”: “…It’s worth pointing out that the “sound” in question is 57 octaves (and one semitone) below middle C, which makes it 247×2−57≈1.71×10−15Hz, or one whole cycle every 18.5 million years.” CRAZY RIGHT although apparently some sing other notes and basically if there’s anything people know about angels it is that they DEFINITELY SING. anyways you can’t see black holes but you can see the things around them and the soundwaves surrounding them. 
• also apparently scientists picked up a death “scream” of a star falling into a black hole but like…
• anyways literally every angel is terrifying BE NOT AFRAID “haha okay but i’m crying though is that cool” 
• black holes are probably angels. i’m just saying. 

this is exactly the kind of weird christian gnostic-empiricist apologia i like to see on my dash

Christian mythology is so fucked up this isn’t even that crazy of a head cannon.

I am finally about to watch an episode of Sense8. If I am not impressed I am holding all of you responsible. *stares at dash*

JK you’re all preemptively absolved of guilt this time.

Unrelated: I was reminded that I had Foxhole paperbacks to sort out, so I dragged myself back to photoshop and attempted yet again to set up the covers in a way CreateSpace will accept. Even remembered to add page numbers to the books, since I forgot last time.

I’ve ordered proofs of each that should get here by the end of the week. Spoiler alert: unless the covers look horrendous, I might set them free with an image that is slightly off-center. I can only count grid lines and boxes so many times without wanting to eat a knife.

JK take 2: if they are crooked they will drive me crazy.
