The first thing every angel learns is to tell any humans they encounter to not be afraid. The second thing they learn is that it almost never works.

Imagine meeting an incomprehensibly advanced cosmic entity born of Heaven, and _that’s_ the day you chose to wear wool trousers.

[themandownstairs]

in his defense, "sir, this is the scariest moment of my life" is a far calmer response than just screaming so i think he's holding it together pretty well

[soup_lover]

I like how he doesn’t even sound scared, he sounds like a narrator explaining his own life

[Shikaschima]

"Be not afraid."
"My dude, we are long past just being afraid."

[millyhearts]

Not going to lie, I was expecting a “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.”

[thewatergoblin]

How rude, he told him not to be afraid but was afraid anyway. You can't get any respect these days.

Remember kids, if a biblically accurate angel appears in front of you, it is normal to be afraid. Not because of their form, but because they come bearing R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y

Angel: I'm not done yet.-spread wings and looks down on him- be terrified.

Back in my day when the angels descended on us we welcomed them with open arms, kids these days

I imagine "Be Not Afraid" is a sort of incantation to calm the person they need to speak to
"Hey, I know I look absolutely horrifying, but I'm gonna say these magic words to dull your sense of fear so you don't immediately shit yourself to death before you receive this message from on high. Is that okay?"

[foiledagain]

Ah, biblically accurate angels, how sweet.

[Jack-]

Those thousands of eyes are so comforting!

"Be not afraid, for mere fear cannot be used to describe what you feel right now."

[afinoxi]

The fact that he's still standing and addressing him as sir when he's so afraid is a subtle nod to the fact that he's a fast food cashier

[sadies]

My fear is instantly raised by a factor of 10 when the scary thing tells me to "be not afraid." It's a terrifying phrase.

[mrmr_zoomie]

“Do not fear.”
*”but.”*
“Yes I’m an unscorched burning bush, what of it?”

[aaboyz]

“Be not afraid”
Yeah, what if I want to be?

[logancherrington]

Horrible fleshy amalgamation of wings and eyes that is a biblically accurate angel: BE NOT AFRAID
Some random dude who just had his entire life turned upside down and is currently witnessing the most terrifying image humans can imagine: no, I don’t think I will

[dishwasher]

the calmness in his voice tells otherwise
