is it rivers oncest? yes. do i care? no.

welcome to the televangelist AU!

what this essentially is, is a story i created based on the TGFG MV! father rivers cuomo, after getting beaten up by strippers and having his church burned down, becomes a televangelist, keeping the same old weezer crew.

along his way to becoming a televangelist, he meets rivera cuomo, and they soon marry. being a televangelist, he mostly sticks to his same old parlor tricks, such as gambling, drinking, etc. but he actually starts to read the scripture he's reading and selling to suckers, and he quickly becomes a fanatic, believing he is God, and that the people who give him money are simply lambs he must lead away from hell and to salvation.

pretty heady, right?

i might make the story into a comic, or a fanfiction, i don't know quite yet.

captions for each image - image one is father cuomo's reference sheet.

image two is rivera cuomo's reference sheet.

image three is a promotional poster for the CPN (Cuomo Prayer Network) that shows off the happy couple. (this image is by ullaiin on twitter, and was done as a commission. thanks to ullaiin!)

image four is rivers spiraling into his god complex and madness, and rivera trying to bring him back down to earth. (this image is by paanmoxi on instagram and was done as a commission. give them some love!)

image five is rivera's transition timeline (it's pretty far off from what we see in rivers' actual haircuts i know, shush), with the first being her at 19, then her at 20, then her at 23, 2 years before she meets father cuomo.

image six is a general timeline.

ask any questions in the comments, this entire AU is my baby and i love it dearly.

p.s. there's a really cool reference hidden in rivera's maiden name! first person who gets it gets my respect.
