The Two Crow Roads and Second Death
Neil Gaiman “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.” They also look at you funny when you request 2 copies of the same book through the inter-library loan. Even funnier looks when you insist on a hardback and paperback copy.
My quest inspired by @crowleysbookshop for the differences between versions of The Crow Road ended with: 1) two different publishers (Scribner vs. Abacus) and 2) different cover work artists. So not allot. If there is a difference, I missed it.
But there's double-meaning of Crow Road.
Crow Road is a street in Glasgow.
Crow Road is also a metaphor for death.
Two Crow Roads. Two Deaths. A second death.

Second Death
The phrase "second death" appears 4 times in the Bible, specifically the Book of Revelation. The one Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis read to Warlock.
There's a first physical death. You've shuffled off this mortal coil and gone to meet your maker.
The second death is a reference to an eternal separation from God for non-believers and a swim in the Lake of Fire. Where bad folks go when they die.
A traditional interpretation is that the "lake of fire" and the "second death" are symbolic of eternal pain, pain of loss and perhaps pain of the senses, as punishment for wickedness.
Revelation 20:11-15
“Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
If I read that right those who experience this death are all those whose names have been removed from the Book of Life.
There's Hemingway's quote, "Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal." Is that also a Book of Life reference? The power of a name.
I don't understand the Book of Life yet. It's just something you scare cherubs with. I've seen some great meta from @beebopboom on it and the Guardian of the Eastern Gate.

I'm still wondering about these seats. Left Crow Road has rabbit seated. Rabbits are a Fibonacci reference. Then the empty seat. Then second Crow Road with Elspeth's hat over the back.
Why is there an empty seat?
Is it for Death?
A missing book? A book between two deaths. That seat is for the Book of Life.
This was supposed to be something but it ended up turning into something else lol.
When you're trying to find fanfics & fanarts about a show or movie, but the fandom is almost non-existent
DATING MANOLO AND JOAQUIN
Joaquin
Now we all know joaquin is a cocky person
And he likes to show off when fighting
So if he is interested in you, he's going to be showing off more than usual
I'm talking about giving flirtatious smirks and winks when he believes you're looking
He does this even before you start dating
He may be cocky and a show off but when a fight costs your life he's going to take it seriously because he loves you that much
After he became less cocky, after the Battle, he built up the courage to speak to you like a normal person and ask you on a date
Deeper into the relationship he has been so gentle and patient
He loves to the point where he'd give up his life for you and of course he knows you'd do the same
Dates with him are peaceful, but if you're the kind of person that likes parties he fine with that too
Manolo
When it comes to Manolo and his love for you, he is a ride or die, no ifs ands or buts (heh butts ☻️)
He can not live without you, he loves you that much
When he first met you he thought you were nice and when you too got closer he fell DEEPLY IN LOVE, he is very obvious about it too
Like I said when it comes to you he is a ride or die, he will do anything to save you or atleast be with you
Dates with him are so romantic, he puts his love, passion, and soul into it
He's not the kind of person to party so I don't believe he'd feel comfortable with that, but he's okay with you attending
Honestly a relationship with either of these men is like paradise to me 🥴💕
The three amigos! 🌹🎶🦅

(Yes some characters are named after Mechanisms, TMA, ETC. characters. Most of the, actually remind me of them.)
So let me explain a few Characters.
Carma & Jon are my left and right brain.
Muerte and Xia are my Online sister and her twin brother, & they’re named after Book of Life Characters.
Hades is just a Hamilton reference cause my best friend who’s he’s based off used to spam that stuff.
Ruby & Dove have no explanation, they’re just the younger sisters of Hades to add something abt his past.
Love this, it's such a underrated film & a underrated sketch.
