It has been since the very beginning.

NG (fuck NG) thought of a book plot where a demon finds himself in The Omen movie. But he screws up the baby switch. And the Antichrist grew up as a character in a Richmal Crompton novel. He didn't know what to do with it next. TP offered to buy the story. He changed the demon into a demon and an angel defying their bosses on the earth they both loved. He added his smart whimsy and gave the story a moral core far beyond a silly spoof. When the story was written, queer kids saw themselves in the angel and demon based on the subtext. Because they lived in subtext. Gender fluid and trans readers created stories about an angel and demon for whom gender was a choice depending on how or whether they decided to make an effort. The strangeness of fitting into a planet dominated by beings the angel and demon differed from spoke to neurodivergent readers.

Religious readers found healing after years of struggling to make sense of doctrine divorced from morality. Some ace and aro readers saw the deep and meaningful relationship beyond romance between a pair together over 6000 years. And tons of horny people from all walks of life poured their hearts into smut that made the most of beings whose bodies allowed for a range of sexual practice that would never be realistic for humans.

He's a grumpy old man but he doesn't drink coffee or smoke (though he used to).

He has zero ounces of toxic masculinity in his entire body, (has no probablem with a woman driving with him in the passenger seat, is vehemently against the idea of sexual assault being "boys being boys")

He hates most food.

He's monotone at all times but is incredibly empathetic and will break down sobbing when left alone and stressed.

He's very, very good at telling when people are lying but he had no idea how social interactions work and will go along with anything as long as he's told that it's "what people do".

He's about as friendly as a cactus but the kindest man.

He's touch starved and visably disappointed when he's rejected hugs.

He adores his daughter more than anything in the world (and will make her give him a "proper hug" which often embarrasses her).

He's the most sexually frustrated man on earth and has absolutely no game (is rejected (rudely) to his face multiple times) but is utterly revolted to the point of working himself into a state at the idea of the kind of man that would assault a women because of rejection.

He doesn't complement people because he thinks it's obvious that they're doing a good job, but is also shocked when other people complement him because if he's not actively being praised he thinks his work is "adequate".

He's an atheist who believes that he didn't die in surgery for "a reason" and that the reason is to stay in a little town that he hates, with people he hates and sand that he hates for the rest of his life and to devote himself to that town.

He has water related trauma, nightmares and PTSD about drowning, and yet often returns to the ocean to watch the waves like he used to as a child.
