Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

Some concept sketches I explored of Minos and Sisyphus' designs for the battle of bands AU!

I'll work on more refined drawings of them soon, but in the meantime imma go into some lore about them below (+ additional art):

• Minos, previously Judge of Hell, was the one who originally came up with the battle of bands competition, wanting to provide sinners the opportunity to redeem themselves and find their humanity in order to be provided salvation.

• They say Minos’ voice was as beautiful as an angel’s song. He would often sing for the citizens of the Lust Layer, bringing them hope and feelings of love — one would feel blessed to hear his voice. Minos experimented with different forms of music, and played various musical instruments (I imagine Ancient Greek instruments like the Lyre!)

• The Lust Layer experiences an art renaissance after the angels left Hell momentarily, where music flourished throughout the grand city. The other layers of Hell also became inspired by this, and participated in the competition as well.

• When the angels returned from Heaven, they immediately put an end to the competition, not wanting the husks and sinners to feel empowered by the art they create. Minos was stabbed by Gabriel through the throat, and his soon-infested corpse was used to punish husks that try to make music in the Lust Layer.

• Before V1 came to the Lust Layer it was completely silent — the only sound u can hear is distorted, classical music coming from the corpse of Minos (eerie atmosphere my beloved)

There were some other outfits I came up with for Minos! I might just give him multiple outfits because I love them all ajskskskks

• Sisyphus plays the trumpet in this au!! I always imagined that he’d play the trumpet — I thought about the angels playing trumpets (biblically) and had the idea that Sisyphus’ trumpet playing rivaled their sounds (something unacceptable to the angels!)

• I’m still solidifying some stuff for Sisyphus’ backstory! Sisyphus, in the face of Heaven’s oppressive nature, stood at the top of the pyramids of Greed and blared out music from his run-down trumpet — the beautiful melodies he played gave the husks of the Greed Layer the courage to stand up and revolutionize against the angels and Heaven!

• Sisyphus and the Insurrectionists became a jazz band that took part in the battle of bands competition in order to make a statement. Heaven, realizing the danger Sisyphus posed to them, swiftly killed Sisyphus — Gabriel faced Sisyphus off in competition before beheading him. They say that Sisyphus still continued to play his trumpet, a smile on his face, even though he knew he was going to lose in the end.

• The remaining Sisyphean Insurrectionists would be harshly punished, making it harder for them to continue playing music. However, despite all this, they still try to continue playing — just as Sisyphus did in his final moments before his death.

A silly doodle of the Sisyphean Insurrectionists! (Don’t ask how one can play the tuba, lol)

Some Sisyphus doodles because I love him very much ❤️❤️❤️

Gabriel in inspired 2010/2014 fashion!

He shows up late to his next fight with V1 because he was waiting for his latte at the local coffee shop (they spell his name wrong and it’s a blood latte instead)

[lluminousllama]

Ok I feel confident enough to finally introduce something I've been working on for a while now: an Ultrakill Battle of the Bands AU!!

The basic synopsis is that V1, rather than fueled by blood, is instead fueled by music! Following the sounds of music they're led to a mysterious elevator that takes them to Hell. After riling up the Limbo layer with their electrifying guitar playing, Heaven, specifically Gabriel, considered to be the best guitarist out of all of Heaven and Hell, take notice and force V1 to compete in Hell's Battle of the Bands competition; many bands that come from each layer of Hell partake in intense, musical battle in order for one to receive salvation from Heaven!

I'm very excited to introduce more stuff about this AU! I'll post more concepts of bands, characters, and lore soon :D

In the meantime, here are some current lore stuff I have come up with so far below (+ Altar of Apostasy drawing w/out text below):

• Gabriel is apart of a band formed by the Council; being the most prominent member known for his unbeatable guitar skills, Gabriel grabs the hearts and attention of every husk and angel -- much to the dismay of the other council band members, who often get left out of the fanfare

• There has been no winners for the Battle of Bands (there have almost been winners, but they were struck down by the Council) due to the Council constantly winning these competitions

• V2 plays the bass guitar -- she learned how to play it from Mirage, who at one point performed music with V2 (she gave up playing, however, because she found it pointless to compete in a competition that was rigged from the start, and decided to pursue college instead)

• V2 became a crowd controller/concert security for when battles get intense (husks and machines can get very rowdy, especially when their favorite bands end up losing) at some point, having lost their passion in playing music. However, when V1 pops up and V2 versed them once (this results in their bass guitar getting destroyed), V2 becomes so determined to up-one V1 -- she even goes around Hell trying to find parts to repair her bass guitar with. After losing another music battle to V1, V2 decides to team up with V1 and re-enter the Battle of Bands again (her passion for music having been rekindled)

• V1 makes a big name for themselves ever since they shook up the entirety of Hell from the Limbo layer in their first (unofficial) battle against the Swordmachine's band (made up of a regular Swordmachine, Tundra, and Agony); now every husk tries to battle V1 (while other husks have become hardcore fans of V1)
