A quick rant about angels because it’s interesting as fuck

So idk why but Angelism is so interesting?? Like, I just wanted to research stuff for my story and I went down this rabbit hole analyzing the different classes and looking at what they stand for because I noticed an odd correlation between the archangels and some of the lesser named angels (because the archangels is sort of a mess) and the angel hierarchy.

Basically the angel hierarchy goes:

seraphim - six winged angels and sometimes are depicted covered in eyes, they guardians of God’s throne or sometimes they help run Heaven which is confusing for reasons we will see later. Also Lucifer/Satan was one of these???

cherubim/cherub - also six wings but they have four faces: a person, an ox, an eagle/hawk, and a lion and sometimes have eyes on their wings, they provide wisdom and I guess the represent scholars

Thrones/Ophanim - two rings nestled into each other covered in eyes, sometimes they have wings and sometimes the don’t, also they’re on fire and are said to be wheels for God/the archangels’ chariot

Dominians - they look like regular angels and give out guidance

Virtues - looks normal and they provide enlightenment. What kind I’m not sure but I’m assuming any kind of enlightenment. Also they’re angels of choice and motion, and by motion I assume that means life

Powers - they’re warrior angels and as such they wear armour

Principalities - they wear crowns and have scepters/staffs, they are leaders/guardians and also are angels of time

Archangels - Apparently they’re the ruling class of angels but are put close to the bottom of the hierarchy???? Idk. If they’re the ruling class than why are they at the bottom? Are the angels ranked by power or importance??? The confusing thing is this word is only used to describe Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, fuck sometimes ONLY Michael since he’s the only one that’s called an archangel in all versions of the Bible. It’s also really confusing as to who is an archangel and who isn’t, because how many archangels there is heavily debated. Sometimes there are three, sometimes four, and sometimes SEVEN. But even then no one is consistent and like I said before, Michael is the only one referred to as an archangel in all versions of the Bible. So this might not even be a class of angels and just a title or even ONE FUCKING PERSON but we’ll never know because even if you take all versions of the Bible into account, there aren’t enough angels to suggest that this is an entire class since each is differentiated by 1) one specific thing/set of abilities/job and 2) there are hundreds of them, and as far as I know, all of the archangels stand for something different anyways so it’s more of a title??? Anyways point is the archangels are confusing and I hate it so much and also I don’t think this should be a class if NO ONE CAN AGREE ON WHAT THE FUCK IT IS.

Angels - run of the mill angels, they’re the “guardian angels” and messengers. Yeah. There are some angels that are named that aren't the archangels but idk what class they are so I’m going to put them here.

Ok so with all that in mind, take a look at the archangels, except only four because the other three are never consistent and therefor I cannot speak for them:

Michael - he’s the like chief angel, he’s the one in charge. It’s unclear if he replaced Lucifer/if Lucifer was an archangel but that’s not important here. Anyways, Michael is depicted as a warrior and sometimes holds a scale. As the chief angel he is obviously very close to God like the seraphims, he is a warrior and looks like the powers. Also, unrelated but I drew Michael in seventh grade for this weird saint project I had and my friend said he looked hot. Oh also, he’s associated with lighting and warriors which is really badass. In my story he’s got a saviour complex and is really serious so yeah. I find it so funny that he overlaps with figures from other religions that go against EVERYTHING he stands for and it’s so funny imagining a very serious and composed Michael loosing his shit bc he overlaps with Mr. Fucks-everything-with-a-hole-Zeus who is the cause of most problems in Greek mythology, and Thor who has no brain cells whatsoever in Norse mythology. Just Michael chewing out Zeus like “YOU CAN’T STICK YOUR DICK IN EVERYTHING AND EXPECT IT TO BE OK, NOW GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND SPEND TIME WITH YOUR WIFE, AND BE A PROPER LEADER WHILE YOU’RE AT IT” while Thor eats a chicken thigh in the background. (I wanna draw this now lol-)

Gabriel - he’s a messenger, so it’s pretty obvious which class of angel he’s close to: the regular angels. Not much more to say but interestingly enough, if the only thing he does is send messages on behalf of God/Michael. He seems really chill and does not deserve all of the shitty iterations he has in media. I’m looking at you, Constantine Gabriel. You bitch. Gabriel is the most popular for some reason bc of how he’s involved with Christmas, so most people make him out to be this warrior/corrupted angel when really he’s just a chill messenger god? Like I’m sorry are filmmakers allergic to proper research of topics they want to have their films revolve around?

Raphael - ok before we get to his connection, I love this guy so much. He’s like the Bible’s version of Hermes (in character at least) So he’s really charismatic and funny + I love seeing similarities between religions. Also he’s bros with this human named Tobias. Anyhow, Raphael is associated with nature and life, and the colour green. The virtues also sometimes have control over the elements which are associated with nature so yeah, I’m saying he’s with the virtues. I like this guy a lot, super interesting and chill, Bible Hermes, 9/10, solid guy.

Uriel - He. Baby. My mom was watching Lucifer and told me that he’s the youngest of the angels and idk I always think that Uriel is really young now. In my story he is the youngest of the angels so I now associate Uriel with children. But that aside, he’s actually a relentless judge so no more bby. Seeing as he’s a judge I associate that with choice for some reason so the virtues, however he is sometimes a cherubim/seraphim so that just adds to my confusion about the archangels?

Shy Confession

Word Count: 1260

Wanna One: Kang Daniel

Author: I love Daniel so much, so I made something that almost happened to me lol😂

Fixing my hair in the bus as I was running late. I overslept this morning and was rushing to school. I texted my friend quickly.

Me: Unnie Am I late??

Sana: I'm not sure Ms. Soo is handing out maps.

Me: Get one for me! TT I hate this!!

I placed my phone in my pocket as I chewed my bottom lip. I fixed my clothes before exiting the bus and racing for my life to school. I kept running till my school came into view. My best friend was standing around the corner waving at me with the map in her hand. "You're on time… I guess" she giggled. I tried catching my breath before talking. "Have you seen Daniel?" I asked looking around searching for my crush.

"Ehm yeah... he's there with Sully and some other kids" She pointed to my right. "Egh she really annoys me" rolling my eyes, as my mood changed when I saw her being really close with Daniel. "He probably doesn't like her" walking arm in arm to the other side of the road. I looked at her rolling my eyes again "Give me one good reason why not?" Keeping my eyes fixed on Sully. "Well she has a really shitty personality" I nodded mumbling she was right. We sat on a bench waiting till a teacher will show up. But no one came. Some people left already.

"Hey, You guys wanna hang out with us?" Mark my friend asked. I asked who would join and where we will go. Turns out Daniel, Sully and some other kids will tag along. We agreed to come as there was no teacher to check on us.

We went to a supermarket and bought some snacks, we found a perfect spot in an open field at the park. We sat in a circle, listened to music and talked. "Hey let's play truth or dare," Seongwoo said. We all agreed to it and sat straight. Seongwoo started first, spinning the bottle which landed on Sully obviously.

"Sully truth or dare?" She looked at me with that nasty smirk plastered on her small face. "Dare," she said confidently "Kiss Daniel on the cheek" Seongwoo pointed to Daniel who didn't look all too happy. Sully fake sighed "if I have to” she adjusting her position, gently grabbing Daniel by the face. She slowly leaned in, I turned around looking at the grass. It had my full attention on a pink flower. My eyes shot up as I saw a big bee coming near me. I screamed on top of my lungs jumping up. Everyone looked at me in shock. I felt like crying as the bee flew away. "What's wrong Y/N?" Sana asked concerned. I quietly sat down apologizing first before explaining my sudden attack. "I'm extremely allergic to bee's" locking eyes with Daniel who looked really concerned.

"Okay sucks for you, can we continue?" Sully said trying to get the attention back to her but failed. "I think we should leave," Daniel said we all agreed, making Sully huff. "We can- …never mind," Daniel said. Everyone insisted him on telling his idea. He suggested on going to his house and eat there. We all agreed and left the park. We took the metro which was a torture for me. How Sully sat on Daniel's lap because there were no seats, he offered her his seat but she begged him to sit on his lap. My blood was boiling by now as I looked out of the window.

His house was huge and his parents were really nice. They order Pizza for us and made snacks, music playing in the background. We took place in his backyard and talked. His younger brother and sister joined us when the food arrived. I was quietly eating a slice of pizza as I felt eyes burn in my head, I looked to the left and saw Daniel stare at me, he softly smiled at me. I smiled back as I didn’t want to draw attention from Sully. She was being too busy with Seongwoo. Touching his arm every time, he's talking or laughing at all of his jokes. 'She's a gold digger for sure' I thought, she doesn't see Daniel anymore. Seongwoo, on the other hand, didn't mind at all, he wasn't that popular and never had a girlfriend so this was his change.

"I thought she was with my brother?" Daniel's sister Jennie whispered. "Yeah, I figured out she's after his money" she looked quite surprised, keeping her eyes on Sully. "Really?? Seongwoo is rich?" I nodded I told her that his father is the CEO of LG Electronics and his mom is a famous fashion designer. Her mouth dropped open "Do you know what her parents do?" I shrugged telling her I didn't know.

Jennie was really nice, she asked me how we all became friends. I explained that all of our parents know each other except for Sully. By now she knows I like her brother Daniel. She told me I deserved him more than Sully or any other girl, she made me shy with her remark but appreciated it.

"It's getting cold" I rubbed my arms to keep myself warm. I felt Daniel grab my hand and brought me inside. We both didn’t speak till we got into his room. I awkwardly stood there watching him how he was looking through his closet.

He handed me a blank grey hoodie, "You can wear this" he mumbled. I stood there looking at my reflection, the hoodie was way too big on me. "I'll give it back tomorrow" looking at him.

"N-No you can have it, it looks cute on you anyway" he blushed. We just stood there in the middle of his room, the tension between us is literally unbearable. I thought it was best to just leave, I reached for the door but felt two hands grab my shoulders and turn me around. He held his grip on my shoulders as he was looking down at me, I looked back at me, my cheeks probably red.

He opened his mouth, but no sound. He sighed out of frustration. His warm hand reached for mine. Unsure of what to do I just let him do his thing. He placed my hand over his heart. “Can you feel it?” I nodded my head slowly, his heart was beating rapidly. “It’s because of you… I liked you for so long now and I…” he struggled with his words. I snapped out of thoughts and bluntly smashed my lips on his. I shocked myself with this action that I quickly pulled away. “I’m s-sorry” I stuttered. He touched his lip, his eyes still on me. Before he could say anything, I interrupted him. “I like you so much you have no idea, you make me go insane.” I spat out. He looked at me with amuse.

He smiled and slowly leaned in again. His soft lips landed on mine, it felt perfect. He began moving his lips and I gladly followed him. His hands moving down my waist, pulling me in. Our lips perfectly molding together. I pulled away gasping for air. I hid my face in his chest, feeling extremely embarrassed. I heard him chuckle hugging me, it felt very comforting.

“So do u want to be my girlfriend?” still holding me close, I nodded my head “Yes I would love to” Daniel pulled away, intertwining our fingers and smiled sweetly at me.

This is how our perfect relationship started.
