Bible: Angels look like a giant wheel of flame.
Renaissance painter: This one looks like my sexy boyfriend.
Bible: No! They have a hundred eyes!
Painter: Cute babies?
@ConfusedImp seraph paintings were kinda fucked up tho
@rotor @ConfusedImp
when ur hare-brained DIY plans actually work as intended and u emerge victorious from the garage, heralded by trumpets
@ConfusedImp cute babies and hot boyfriends with wings are way more marketable than the eldrich monstrosities of the bible.
@ConfusedImp both are hot not gonna lie. Did you ever see the biblical description of Azrael? Head to toe eyes, and taller than a continent.

@ConfusedImp

TFW sci-fi anime is more biblically accurate than Renaissance painters.

(And get in the fucking robot, Shinji!)

@ConfusedImp I'm just thankful they had mostly figured out what babies liked like by then

@ConfusedImp THREEE PAIRS OF WINGS! TO COVER THEIR FACES! AND THEIR [REDACTED] AND LOCOMOTE!

Painter: hmmm.... Cuuuuute [ REDACTED ] ???? 🤔

@ConfusedImp I wonder if they were all that way though. Weren't there the Nephilim? I don't think you can bone a flaming wheel to produce those.
