From the chapter's ending it seems Seth's wife might have used her powers as god of peace "that puts human conflicts and grievances to rest" (quoting chapter one) to help Anubis get the curse out of his arm (the one Seth had accidentally out on him when Osiris tricked Seth into mistaking Anubis for him) and into the form of the black bracelet surrounded in black smoke that Anubis then presented to Seth (he told them he had come to give Seth a new "weapon"). Then when Seth grabbed the bracelet the curse activated and the "apparition-wife" came out, crying while saying that the curse on Seth's sword (which he had previously tried to sic on Osiris, but that Osiris had finally tricked Seth into accidentally putting on Anubis, instead) was the curse left by the thirst for revenge coming from humans who had died in Seth's wars or by his hand, which had finally come back to "get them", first to get take revenge against Seth through their son, and now upon Seth himself.

Anubis is just gaving Seth back that horrible curse that Seth had accidentally placed on him chapters prior, and he did it because Horus told him that's the way to become a god.

I mean, Horus had basically told Annubis, "Give those back to Seth, sever all ties with him, and you'll be able to heal the two curses he accidentally put on you (including that nasty one on your arm), and you'll become a god"...

So what the hell did Horus think Annubis would do, if it wasn't this?!?

Annubis was just doing exactly what Horus told him that he needed to do in order to overcome the curse Seth accidentally gave him in the arm chapters before, and become able to finally become a god... even if Horus doesn't like Annubis' "interpretation". But, that's Horus being stupid here and not realizing the consequences of what he was recommending Annubis to do, IMHO... Horus basically told him to go all "Buddhist Nirvana-like" and get rid of all human-like feelings and attachments, which are the real reason both gods and gods' children have currently become corrupted and weak, and in Annubis' case that weakness was caused, according to Horus, by his feelings, memories and ties related to Seth and to being Seth's son.

Besides, the implication is that just as Annubis can heal himself from that curse by overcoming his human attachments (that weaken and mine his power as a god), Seth can obviously do the same, and overcome the curse in turn by giving up his human-like feelings. In other words, Annubis may just be giving Seth the one TOOL that can help him overcome his trauma, even if it's by force.

...So I think it's also possible that another reason why Anubis gave that curse back to Seth, in the way he did, was because he found out sth about his mom that he now wants his dad to also find out and realize too (maybe that she's not the real one... maybe?)

If you want a more elaborate response:

According to Ra, the sun god, the way these four gods and their children started trying to imitate human families and feelings was apparently what caused this entire mess in the first place, as this had made all the four ruling gods of Egypt become weak (Osiris, Seth, Isis and Neftys) because (as Ra had tried to warn them in vain) all four of them had tried to live, think and love like humans, thus falling prey to human emotions they had never been prepared to handle.

"Horus explained this is because gods are eternal beings who don't need to imitate the "family model" that humans used to survive and reproduce, so when these four did, it was bound to fail and to cause them all to become corrupted and/or weak. As a result, the children they had after that, who were also raised trying to imitate human emotions themsleves, were also weak."

"In Annubis' case that weakness was caused by his feelings, memories and ties related to Seth and to being Seth's son. And those included the two curses Seth had accidentally and unknwoingly placed on Annubis: the one where he wished for him to never grow up (so that he could stay forever as an innocent child who didn't need to know anything, and thus could stay as his little son by his side, forever) and the other one Seth had placed on his sword to use as a weapon against the undead Osiris (intending to use his sword to place it on against Osiris the next time he came to the world of the living to try to drag Seth to the afterlife with him). Seth accidentally ended up giving to Annubis through a cut on his arm, because Seth still didn't know at the time that Annubis was being kept captive "inside" Osiris, as Osiris was using his body each time he came to the world of the living (the reason Osiris can do this is because Annubis actually tried to kill himself once, and Osiris sort of revived him, which somehow left Annubis connected to Osiris).

"So, when Annubis tried to get Horus to tell him what he needed to do in order to get rid of those two accidental curses, and become a god, Horus answered "give it all up", and apparently the only way to do that when it came to the curses themselves, was to give them BACK."

Sekhmet's role... SPOILERS

She basically set Seth up for rape by Horus, and then possessed Horus and had him rape him, as a way to teach Seth a VERY painful lesson... She's the one who helped Seth out when Osiris raped him (she put Osiris to sleep, restored Anubis' soul that the still living Osiris had stolen back to his body, and she told Seth what to do with Osiris) and when she came back to taunt him for the mess he had gotten himself into due to all the shit he pulled ever since becoming king, Seth cut off her arm. So she secretly wanted revenge for that and told him to try raping Horus in order to incapacitate him for their contest... and when Seth went and tried to do what she had suggested (AGAIN... does he never learn?) she turned the tables on him by possessing his intended victim (Horus) and making Horus rape *him* instead...

So, what was the "lesson" here? You take your pick, but I can think of several: rape victims are not entitled to rape others, rape victims are not entitled to kill innocents, don't bite the hand of the one single person that's actually trying to tell you things for what they really are (even if it's trough taunts), don't try to cheat to keep being king... and most important of all: you dared mess with Ra's beloved Egypt? Thought that trying to live like a human, in spite of Ra's warning that gods shouldn't try that, and having that spectacularly backfire on you (by getting deceived and raped by your older brother, etc etc etc) could give you whatever "human-like" excuse, and one good enough to entitle you to basically turn Ra's beloved Egypt into a hellhole? ...Prepare for the backlash, then, because Sekhmet (just like her myth dictates) is the living embodiment of Ra's fury and cruel side of justice... and she doesn't give a shit for gods using "human-like" feelings to try to excuse any of their behavior.

Sekhmet basically told Horus she's trying to keep Egypt in one piece from all the bullshit the gods are doing with their ridiculous actions, and the reason she was "helping him" is only because Isis is a ticking bomb with a thirst for blood against all gods (for having turned their backs on her in her most desperate time) to the point she's become willing to sacrifice even the most precious things just to get some revenge, and given she's much more powerful than they currently give her credit for (capable of even controlling Nile river gods much more ancient than herself) and if Horus doesn't win Isis will destroy them all, both by drowning all of Egypt (humans and gods and all) by overflooding the Nile and having a foreign army attack them.

I'm really liking Sekhmet because she's neither "good" nor "evil", she's basically the most authentic in her god-like behavior because she doesn't try to imitate human feelings and behaviors (so she's not "corrupted", in the sense that she hasn't become corrupted by human-like yearnings, which is what Ra says is what really went wrong with those other four: Osiris, Seth, Isis, Neftys... and also Anubis and Horus, to a point). Unlike them, Sekhmet acts without drama, like she was just a force of nature... She's the only one here who actually "gets" the bigger picture of all that is really happening, and the nastiest but most effective law enforcing agent I've seen these gods to have (check her myth, that's basically her role).

Ahhh thank you so much!!

Ok wait nvm I had to think about it

Lmao. Same.

Why are they so perfect?? (︶︿︶)

I wanna say I wrote this before I read ch.44 and now I am slightly mad at Henry.... coulda totally avoided that situation, but alas I feel like I will have to end up dropping this soon.

????? You can be mad that Sam isn't self-aware but you make it sound like it's intentional? I don't know why you guys are so hell bent on making him out to be some shitty person when you know that's not it. You know that it's just that in your minds, the uke (aka the girl, aka the person you project yourself onto) can't ever be wrong, so you will accept that Henry is being an idiot for being mad at Sam for god knows what reason when he didn't tell Sam he liked him until now, AND you will make up as much shit as you can about Sam so poor Henry doesn't have to take the blame. This kind of logic is so stupid.

First of all Henry’s indecisiveness is part of the problem. And let’s stop with this seme and uke thing...it’s really rude and offensive especially since none of them are the girl and that’s very demeaning to women. I don’t identify with Henry much but like I’m not saying he isn’t problematic? Y’all need to stop making Sam seem like he’s a child sure he was clueless about Henry’s crush on him but he also had some sort of possessive tendencies over him so he isn’t all that innocent and like I said he never had to think about what he felt towards henry since Henry never ignored him like he does now. All I said about sam wasn’t completely made up but rather what I either inferred from what he’s done or something he’s actually done. He may have done these things unintentionally but it still had around the same effect. Also in my opinion Henry isn’t mad that Sam didn’t like him rather I think he’s annoyed that he still has feelings for him and Sam seems to just have suddenly grown feelings for him after his confession. He may be feeling Sam’s just going with the flow in order to keep their relationship the way it was before. Or there’s also the fact that sam is now smothering him with his feelings. Idk tho

Finally just because I defend Henry doesn’t mean I project myself onto him??? Like does that mean you’re projecting yourself onto Sam? Either way it doesn’t matter since not everyone’s gonna like a certain character and there’s enough hate on both Sam and Henry.

Bruh, I use those offensive terms because you pretty much reek of being a fujoshi that fetishises gay relationships and heternormatises them, hence I used terms that you would identify with. How I know you’re one of then? Because pretty much you failed to point out anything about Henry and tried your best to demonize Sam, like his lack of self-awareness equates to being a piece of shit. And possessive tendencies? Did you read all the parts with Seth with your eyes closed, or is that your selective evidence for why you pettily think Sam is some garbage asshole? Advice: Do read the parts with Seth again and try your best to not ignore his possessive tendencies to bolster your opinion.

Look I don’t use those terms or have that ideology so stop assuming things and chill out. If anything it seems you use those terms more. Acting like whoever defends Henry or dislikes Sam is a “fujoshi” who fetishizes gay relationships. You’re being pretty rude for no reason lmfao. If my opinion of Sam makes you mad then that’s fine ain’t gotta start throwing insults. I don’t fetishize gay relationships and I don’t think I ever did that in my post so stop slandering me. I just see both characters as complex characters that aren’t the best for each other. They both have their problems. I won’t reread any chapters. Seth is showing signs of being kinda possessive but if I’m correct he hasn’t really done anything that made Henry feel bad? Well from what I remember it hasn’t pressured Henry into thinking a certain way or made him uncomfortable. This is the last reply Since you seem kinda rude and in no way are we gonna see eye to eye if you keep name calling.

I think its all a matter of how people look at it really. When I see Seth and Henry together, I can see what people see with the cutsie seemingly comfortable relationship. But I only see that when Henry is teasing Seth and more or less treating him like a child. As soon as things get more serious the more uncomfortable I see Henry become. He may not say very much verbally, but his body and reactions speak volunes to me. And I have seen a couple of instances where he has been more forceful and not taking those cues. I also see the potential for it getting worse(not that it will, just potential).

On the other hand, when Henry and Sam are together, I can see where people see Henry's discomfort around him. But to me it is a whole different kind of discomfort to Seth. Most of this has to do with Henry, instead of talking(and bu talking I mean real talk from him and listening to Sam), he wants to have his mind already made up about everything and use guilt as a clutch.

I still don't ship anyone, just acknowledging that they all have a part to play in this mess. No one is "innocent", blameless, or deserve full blame. But at this time, the ball is in Henry's court. He needs to talk, even if that means he says he doesn't know how he feels and needs time to sort through some stuff. But in order to sort through anything, he needs to give Sam the opportunity to speak his truth. Then he'd have the full picture, and not a self made image.

Again, it really is just how people interpret the things said, not said, actions done, not done, and subtle body reactions and facial expressions, which all may or may not be easier to see irl. But it is my take on it.

Alright y'all who's dropping the story, hasta la vista baby! Piece! Deuces! Kick rocks!
Team Sam!!!

Ship wars are the hell to me... I'd wish to stop them, but is usless

In other hand, I like your point of view of this mess, no body is flawless in this story...

You are right!... This user is rude, to say someone is project themself in a character... To say fujoshi are fetishising gay relashionships... WTF!
This is an estupid tumblr discourse... it's just generalization
Sorry, I'm not fluent in English at all

Yeah true Henry has gotten uncomfortable with both, and Seth has been kinda pushing it more since he’s getting insecure. Though I still feel bad since both of them are pursuing him...and like neither of them are giving him space really. But yeah I can agree with your opinion.

LMFAO this is so stupid, “both” of you. You do realize that both your IP addresses are the same right? I didn’t bother replying because it was clear you wouldn’t see the point, but both of you are absolute clowns. Or should I say you are an absolute clown.

Then say you need space? How the fuck do you expect people to know when you drop a confession bomb and then proceed to avoid someone? Obviously that person seeks closure, and fans like you would yap your heads off that WAAA SAM IS SO INDECISIVE, EVEN WHEN HENRY HAS TOLD HIM HE LIKED HIM HE STILL DOESN’T DO ANYTHING!!!! Just admit that literally no matter what sam does, you will find it problematic because he simply didn’t love Henry back early enough and you’re petty about such dumb shit, as if people are obliged to like you back just because you like them back. (I’m sure you have no actual answer to what he should do, and the one you’d give me is just straight bullshit you made up to provide an answer). You lowkey sound like those neckbeards that get mad at women for not “realising they were being wooed” and think that the woman is obliged to date them because they love her and treat her well~

Usernames and IP directions are two different things... I'm not the same person, but I realize you don't care... you just wanna be right and you are rude with people you don't kwnow in real life

IP directions?
IP DIRECTIONS?
Wow, technology... I've never heard of that before.
I already spelled it out for you, IP addresses, then you accuse me of getting it mixed up with username when you can't even spell the term right? Maybe go read up more.
