#amoset

ahhhhhh I love amoset SO MUCH

There is something so compelling about the intimacy of sharing your mind and body with another entity. It's the same thing that draws me to Venom so much (and I still maintain that my Venom friends need to get into The Kane Chronicles and bring that Symbrock energy to Amos and Set!!)

I think Set just really likes humans, more than the other Egyptian gods think is appropriate. I find it very funny that when Shu scolds Anubis for getting too close to Sadie, Shu's entire reasoning boils down to "mortals are gross."

Which leads me to believe Set's mindset is "Yes, mortals are gross, that's what I love about them! They're weird and messy and illogical. You never know what they'll do next!"

(It seems Anubis is more like his dad than he'd like to admit 😏)

I'd need to read TKC again to be sure, but given how estranged Amos was from Julius, I get the impression that Amos and Set could find common ground in being outcasts & they're both healing those old wounds through familial bonds with Carter and Sadie. In the Brooklyn House Magicians Manual, there is a subplot where Set celebrates his birthday by playing annoying (but harmless) pranks around Brooklyn. He'd rather spend his birthday hanging out with the Kanes than partying in the Duat 🥺 he loves those dumb mortals even if he'll never say it out loud.

I think the relationship between Set and Amos is always going to be a little bit tainted by the circumstances that brought them together. They're a perfect match now, but there's always this lingering knowledge that Set is probably not who Amos would have chosen if he hadn't already been Set's hostage first. It's not something they regularly discuss, but the knowledge is there.

(Which is why in the Niobe Fic, when Lester takes the Path of Set, it means SO MUCH to him even though he'll never admit it. Lester is the first magician in millennia to CHOOSE Set.)

In conclusion, have some more Venom panels that are giving Set

I fear I cannot lock in these are SO bad🥀
