I am already following you by other means; this is purely social. I don't see why we can't be friends in the interim

Apologies Kissinger took so long, I understand the frustration. Load-bearing evil is tricky to manage

DMs for questions answer publicly
A question from the magic you call DMs

I am before gender. For eons the closest thing would have been was/is

Since then, I have collected as many pronouns as names; thousands. You may use any you wish

I will only state that while acceptable my least preferred is the set most often used by others

In Endo (Proto-Indo-European) the word was gʰrem. Eventually I guess people just saw my job as grim. But in terms of disposition, I rather believe I'm quite pleasant

I will add: unless you're a hateful bigot. Or someone like Jared Leto

Some get the minimum of the job

This is a good question and honestly one that is hard to answer. I shall attempt to do so. This will require more than a single post

In essence, any entity that possesses bodhi passes to other planes upon their moral expiration

One hundred percent of what chaplains do is useless. The limit to our interaction is me occasionally spooking one. Though not my best feature, dogmatic faith is fun to shake, I have to admit

People like yourself is what this has all been building to. Before dawn, it gets dark. Sometimes so dark you can't see the path before you. But it's still there

You have a lot of time left. Much to do. And though it may not seem like it now, most if it will be enjoyable

Excellent question from the magic called DMs

If I come 𝘧𝘰𝘳 you, you will know. You will feel it deeper than your bones, a calling and a lightening all at once

Were you to see me and still feel like a highfalutin ape, you've merely caught me on my dutiful way to or fro. Feel free to say hello

Fortunately, those who would cause sadness go on to great places, which is joyous

The only ones who suffer would secretly, or not so secretly, delight you

Two opposing points on the spectrum

I am indeed here in friendship. My official duties will never be carried out here. Both of these messages came from souls not yet even halfway through their journey, so whether you respond with worry or wonder

Time will pass either way

We are all friends in death. My arrival is, even when a surprise, often a welcome one. But even if not fully enthusiastic

I hope it will be a small comfort to tell you that those who know fear upon dying are almost always deeply bigoted or incredibly rich

Of course you have; it's impossible not to. But it isn't why I'm here

Lots of time for most of you left. I am here in an unofficial capacity

Shitposting has only recently come to my attention. It's interesting to me

Just noting a response I have received

Remarkably rarely

Many scythecology questions today

It is not meant to frighten. I found, more than a thousand years ago now, that without it I was mistaken for a beggar. When I leave it behind today, people think I am cosplaying as a ringwraith

It makes the explanation take even longer

I do not kill you, cannot stop you from dying. I am merely there when it happens. And you do not want to stay; slowly losing your mind as reality itself reabsorbs you, a thousand years of sanity insects gnawing at you until there's nothing left

Anyway, money is not real

Yes.

A question from the magic you call DMs

You cannot really befriend deities, I'm afraid. They aren't haughty or anything, just ultimately very siloed and my duties keep me here, and busy. Gelos is perhaps my favorite

I am a fan of the Valar, but never had the pleasure

Yes, she was one of my most frequented before the final visit

And you may like knowing that most of the time she was quite happy, and laughed often. Even tortured souls can know so much joy

I am not Hades, who sits aloof and purposefully ignorant while whittling away time under things. And am glad to be me and not he

I understand attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in mortals, but I have less patience for it in gods

We get along all right, though

From the magic you called DMs

I have been following you since the stars that would be your flesh first exploded

But I do not intend to bring consternation. I am here only in my off time. If you are only seeing me in your phone, everything is fine

Plenty of time

A question from the magic you call DMs

I understand why you ask this. I too was a fan

Please note that I am only there when it happens, not the cause

But I can tell you the whole universe was laughing during her trip over

A question from the magic that you call DMs

The Styx is real, but the river is more metaphoric, an easy way to explain it to you. There is only one ferry, but it folds in your dimensions than the three you are used to

Once you get used to the experience it is quite thrilling

It is not rude to ask

I follow everyone. Eventually

But I do find you each fascinating in different ways

Question from the magic you call DMs

I question in return why you are so eager for me to notice you

But because you asked: I have no heart, so it feels incorrect to use that icon. My task is not to like things

But I have decided to be among you and explain
