Part 2

Part 3

I saw that the story of the god of Arepo was on the front page and wanted to share this comic that someone made of it. I definitely did not draw this just wanted to share it.

Every time I read it, I always pictured the God to look like Luci from disenchantment for some reason

Arepo's god is the god of mundane liminal states, of everyday thresholds. In the TRPG Nobilis, it would be unstoppable.

It is a simple thing, executed extremely well. This is what gives it the power.

Me too! The story, the art , it’s a master piece

For me it's the note of unconditional friendship and devotion, to care for one another without expecting anything but companionship.

I came down here looking for exactly this. It's quite possible, that out of the last 5 times I cried over the years, 2 times was because...

of this story...; so yes; indeed: "Yo, what the fuck?!"

Right!? Hits me straight in the feels every time!

A nice adaptation but the story is in the tiny details. More tiny details in the art would take it to the next level.

I really considered trying to make a short film out of the story, I just want to make sure I'm able to do it justice if I try.

The problem is that many people see the god of Arepo in different ways. Some see a raven, some an old man, some as barely anything at all.

Always thought the god of Arepo looked like:

I imagined a tiny, frail, withered old gnome. A tiny thing with no temple and no worshippers and not even belief in himself. A small thing >

No bigger than a newborn kitten and even more frail. I do miss the part of the story where the god of Arepo watches the years pass and the >

world changes and to honor his friend he puts his all into his domain of humble beauty. I thought that was sweet and should have been here.

I imagined him more as an old man, one who has lived a hard, but honest life, and became disenchanted with the world and his inability 1/2

to make, in his eyes, any meaningful change 2/2

Maybe each person sees something different

5 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Everyone does. But he felt himself insignificant because he could not change the world. But he forgot he could affect one person at least.

It's an ancient god, you're not wrong. Those are the deities whose form changes based on the way the story is told.

I kind of miss the introductory words, but otherwise, this is very nicely done by them.

yes, what the story i mising that when arepos god repeats what kind of god he is, the initial shown picture should be shown again, but more

beautiful, in the way how Arepos perception of them has been.

Yeah, this is nice, for sure, but somehow the original text story conjured up more vivid visuals....

For some reason in my head when I read It I was thinking of it set in Japan. The comic is still nice though

It's undoubtedly why the farmer is called Arepo. The 'Sator Square' is ancient: the earliest database example is in the ruins of Pompeii. /1

Gah - 'datable'. Damn autocorrect. Anyway, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Square

Not to be confused with Satyr Arepa, the mischievous reveler among the corn-cakes...
