Gethsymonae
May. 30th, 2011 07:50 pmWith a decidedly feminine name (altered to appear feminine in print, that is) and a deeply androgynous appearance, Gethsymonae pours into my mind like cool water from a hidden spring. The strangeness of this character, anchored to the actor whom I wish to play Cadmus on film and particularly to one of his other movie roles, overwhelms me right now.
S/he swirls around Cadmus like a newborn memory, once lost to the void that was his endless soul. Cadmus sees himself in Gethsymonae and experiences love for the first time, as a result. It doesn't matter what gender Gethsymonae is, Cadmus has always taken what he wanted from the Great and New Hives, regardless of gender. The same will apply to his love affair with the peat-haired, ice-eyed Darkling. S/He will be bound to Cadmus in every way, but it will be a willing bond and Cadmus will exhibit a never-before-seen tenderness as a result of his affection for the Vampire. For Cadmus, Gethsymonae is beautiful in every way, manifesting the very Song of God in his soul. He is powerless in the presence of Gethsymonae, but that powerlessness is glorious in its presence. And how will Cadmus express his affection for Gethsymonae by way of the Harming Tree? No harm can come to the equivocal Vampire, no suffering shall knit that seamless brow. He must find some other way, some significant expression by which to clearly paint his psyche for Gethsymonae's pleasure.
Whatever his choice may be, something tells me it shall be divine and awash in Blood.
