Then Aetura's Links
(March 2019): Uni is precious and strange, and as a Cycle God, she's an interesting individual to Then.
(March 2019): Yeah so uh Then's always smiling and apparently sees everything and he's both intimidating and creepy.
(Feb. 2019): Then knows almost everything about Nando--except for what he's been up to in the last few years since his resurrection. The fact Nando, a seemingly insignificant vampire, had his timeline altered to give him life again just before a Reaper would have reclaimed his soul makes Nando a particularly interesting individual to Then.
It also helps that Nando is the child of a very significant being in the universe by the name of Iniquitous, and especially that Nando has managed to help, befriend, and date Then's brother, Now.
(Feb. 2019): Then is an eccentric, intimidating dork. Nando does not know him very well, but does find the Time God to be amusingly dorky... it's just hard to know how to interact with someone of such a high status as being a God of Time. Nonetheless, he would like to get to know Then a little better.
(March 2019): Arcana is the husband of a creation of the God of Chaos, and is a friend/family member of Then's brother's boyfriend. So naturally, Arcana is interesting to Then!
Arcana knows that Then knows everything about his life. That is intimidating, and Then's power is intimidating.
Aside from that, though, Then seems to be a fairly mellow creature, and is on vacation.
(March 2019): Iniquitous is one of the most powerful and important beings around, so it goes without saying that Then finds him incredibly fascinating. Iniquitous also is the rambly sort of individual Then would enjoy spending time with, so that's good, too.
(March 2019): At the present time, Elcycinu is the only demonic one out of the bundle of Cycle Gods, and Then thinks they're interesting.
(March 2019): Then's pretty weird and intimidating but it's pretty cool to know an extremely dorky God of Time.
(March 2019): Of all the little human doppelgängers Then is aware of, Calanthe is, perhaps, the most worrisome of the bunch. They're perhaps a bit too much like Elcycinu for a mere human, what with their brash mouth and reckless behaviors.
Then is very curious about Cal and would like the chance to meet them, but meeting the inhabitants of Entium is not likely to go over well.
Cal hasn't met any of the time gods and frankly is intimidated by the prospect of meeting a god, much less a god of time--even if they oversee a different universe than the one Cal resides in.
Then is shocked to know a lot of this doppelgänger business, and Paneo is an interesting case. Paneo is remarkably like Then's brother, and Now is perhaps Then's closest and dearest friend, so to meet an individual so directly connected to Now but that is merely a mortal human is incredibly fascinating and ... disappointing. Then would like to get to know the doppelgänger of his brother better, but understands why a human would be anxious of him (many gods are!), and should probably not be going and getting attached to such short-lived beings anyhow. It's probably too late for the last part, though.
This is absurd.
(March 2019): Rad is the mortal that started it all. If an alteration to time hadn't happened to spare Rad's life, Rad would not have come to meet Uni later on, and Dharnizta would never have existed, and it's doubtful Then would have ever gotten involved with the likes of the little circus troupe.
It's probably needless to say, but Then finds Rad and his ties with the little troupe of Cycle Gods to be particularly interesting. He is incredibly curious to see what further becomes of the Eteyali, but sometimes...
Sometimes Then can't help but feel that perhaps the chaos that ensued from unintentionally saving Rad may have been a mistake.
Then is intimidating, and Rad does not personally know him. Uni finds him creepy, so Rad has little desire to interact with the powerful god.
Being as significant as he is, however, is overwhelming. He never would have imagined saving the life of one lone mortal could cause such a massive chaotic ripple.
(March 2019): Matylda is a darling little human resembling Then's first creation and eldest child. Perhaps... too closely resembling her, even.
Then only wishes for the best for her. He does worry about Matyl's short lifespan, though, and hopes to not become too attached to her (but it's probably too late given how familiar she feels).
(6/20/18) To Then, Tzofiya is the friend of his brother's sweethearts. She would not be anyone he thinks much of anything about, except for the fact she somehow seemed to appreciate Then's company and adored his home. Tzofiya even willingly initiated being cuddled with Then and asked if she could come to him if she ever needs comfort, which is not something he is used to from anyone who does not live within his home. All of this gives him a giddiness similar to that of if a cat someone had just met curled up in their lap on its own accord.
Tzofiya doesn't know who Then is, though, and he fears the small friendship will fall apart as soon as she finds out.
(6/20/18) Tzofi is used to creepy, and isn't terribly bothered by it when it manifests the way Then's does. And having someone she can look to for physical comfort but with zero romantic obligations is completely ideal for her, so she absolutely adores the fact Then has offered her this opportunity. She's also incredibly curious about his strange foreign home, it's so completely alien to her that it's exciting to explore, and invokes a sense of overwhelmed wonder in her that she's never experienced before and loves it.
(March 2019): Monny Wheeler is the ringmaster of the Cycle God's Circus in the Sky, and is the oldest of the Cycle Gods. He's a cute and interesting dork and Then enjoys his company and appreciates that the feeling seems to be mutual.
(March 2019): Monny isn't too bothered by being around major deities--he often works as an entertainer for them, after all--so Then's intimidating status isn't much of a bother. In fact, Then's interest in the Cycle Gods is flattering, and the Gods of Time are adorable, so Then is always welcome.
(July 10th, 2017):
There is no one else in (or out of) the universe whom Then is as close to as his brother and fellow time-keeper, Now. They have been together from the moment they were created, and Then would go so far as to risk his own well-being for the sake of his dear twin (and has done so in the past).
Though they can certainly both be a source of stress and annoyance for each other, Then loves Now very dearly. Then is liable to become anxious if he is separated from Now for extended periods of time after having him for the only company around for so many eons in a void.
Then can be a bit more meddlesome than is perhaps desired, but he tries his best to encourage Now to have a social life outside of just Then. Then considers it his personal responsibility to look after Now's fussy self, and constantly fears for what will happen if some his actions in the past lead to him being erased, leaving Now behind.
(July 10th, 2017): Then has always been there for Now since the day they were created, and Then has shown time and time again how close they are. Now is simultaneously jealous of and pities Then.
<p>
As far as mental strength seems to go, Then's mind has not been kind to him. Now believes that Then suffers from more extreme depression and existential dread than himself, and wants to do all he can to bring comfort and care to his poor twin. On the other hand, Now also considers Then to be more generally loved. He considers his own asocial personality to be far too abrasive to form relationships as easily as Then, and is jealous of how easy it seems for Then to talk to people and remain cheerful even in moments of frustration. Many times he fails to notice just how many people dislike Then for being creepy and meddlesome.
<br>
Overall, he loves Then dearly, and would do anything in his power for the timely twin. Even if it means temporarily giving up his powers to be able to watch after him, while it's hardly necessary due to not affecting Time while he retains them in the present.
Though not personally acquainted, Then found Kimi interesting long before Now ever adopted her. A human significant other to a human-eating demigod child of /the/ Celestial Goddess? It's certainly a novel concept! Then also thinks she is precious.
6/18/23: Athyn is both a part of Then's family and one of very few children of Then's friend and fellow deity, the Celestial Goddess, so he's inherently interesting to Then. They're not close but Athyn is precious.
6/18/23: Then is the uncle of Athyn's wife as of semi-recently, so she's family nowadays. They get on fine.
7/26/2017 - They've never met, but seeing as Tarrilym is one of very few children of Then's friend and fellow deity, the Celestial Goddess, he's inherently interesting to Then.
Though they've never met, Tarrilym holds a great deal of respect and fascination for the Gods of Time and would be curious to meet them--but also is incredibly intimidated and would be very uneasy. Then's... a strange one, though. His connections with Cycle Gods are a bit unprecedented for a deity of such power, but so it goes. Then's love of tea and fascination with technology work well with Tarrilym's interests.
