Julius isn't beholden to any Elevator the way Lucifer is. Ananke doesn't figure in with this origin story. #onceagainwereturn
Gods shedding one identity to take up another isn't unusual in WicDiv (see Nergal), but there's something especially intriguing about this Lucifer rejecting the identity Ananke gave him completely. #onceagainwereturn
Initially, I read this as Lucifer expressing sadness that his lover is dead because of Ananke, but there's something in that "believed in me" that goes deeper. #onceagainwereturn
Kieron takes one of the key rituals in a Roman imperial coronation and uses it to echo the big epiphany of #43 and underline that Lucifer doesn't buy that stuff. #onceagainwereturn
Good morning! Let's talk about the one where Lucifer Triumphs and then has an extremely ignominious end. #onceagainwereturn
Seeing Ananke legitimately crying is weird. I find her continual humanization as a character irksome given just how much murder she's done in her very long life. #onceagainwereturn
So Ruth's still totally culpable for all the murder that follows this, but I'm not going to excuse Hazel from again doing something stupid and thoughtlessly destructive. There are ways to give Sakhmet news and this was not one of them. #onceagainwereturn
To cap off Laura's story for this half of the arc, the nicest surviving Pantheon member tells her she's only going to make things worse if she gets involved. What she hears is that she makes everything worse. #onceagainwereturn
