[undergrounddweller89]

Just a what if Acylius

(a character I'll just put into any universe now because reasons and he does have a humanoid form)

Had been lounging in the Lake of the dead

And rescued Raziel, Acylius is also a Legion demon but not in the sense of biblical terms, extremely powerful but also not invincible, after all, immortal does not equate invincible.

Anyway back to the work at hand, this took two weeks and no the water marks will not be removed , I've had work stolen and reposted before, so no just no.

Raziel is absolutely one of my favourites, if he wasn't you think I'd spend two weeks on a comic like this ha ha.....no I'm too tired to even usually draw like this, it's taken me a few weeks to finally decide to post this.

U.S. Consumer Sentiment Plunges to 2-Year Low: What It Means for Inflation, Jobs, and Your Wallet in 2025

As of March 28, 2025, the United States is experiencing a sharp decline in consumer sentiment, indicating increasing anxiety about economic stability and future expectations. The University of Michigan's most recent survey shows a dramatic fall in its Consumer Sentiment Index, falling to 57.0 in March from 64.7 in February, the lowest since November 2022. ​ Understanding the Consumer Sentiment Index The Consumer Sentiment Index, which is provided by the University of Michigan, is a principal gauge of confidence in the U.S. economy held by the American public. It tracks personal finance, overall economic situation, and buying attitudes. A decline in the index means that consumers are pessimistic regarding their financial situation and the overall economic situation, which can lead to decreased spending and slower economic growth. Reasons behind the Decline Some of the most significant reasons that the consumer confidence has dropped recently include: Inflation Anxiety: Persistent inflation eroded purchasing power, making the average consumer spend more on goods and services. During February, the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index grew by 0.3%, maintaining its 2.5% year-over-year gain. Core PCE, the measure of prices minus volatile food and energy costs, grew 0.4% in February and 2.8% from a year ago. ​ Trade Tariffs and Global Agitation: Placing new trade tariffs has added economic uncertainty. President Donald Trump's recent tariff declarations have increased worry about increased prices of foreign-made goods and potential retaliatory moves by trade partners. Such trade activism has ignited consumer  uncertainty about the general economic situation. Labor Market Anxiety: Rising fear around the labor market has also impacted consumer confidence. Two-thirds of consumers reported that they expected more unemployment over the next year, the most apprehensive since 2009. Fear around employment opportunities might lead to reduced consumption, hence even weaker economic growth. ​

Impact on Financial Markets Financial markets have experienced the fall in consumer confidence rebound through them: Stock Market Drops: The big indexes have dropped. The S&P 500 fell 2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite also took large drops. Investors are frightened by economic slowdown fears and a possibility of stagflation—a condition characterized by slowing growth and rising inflation. Bond Market Trends: The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined to 4.26%, reflecting a shift into safer assets as investors seek shelter from market risk. ​ Financial Times Consumer Spending Trends Despite the decline in sentiment, consumer spending increased by a modest 0.4% in February. Adjusted for inflation, real spending growth was modest, which means that even though consumers are spending more in nominal terms, their real consumption has not been increasing significantly. Such mediocre growth in spending is worrying for the sustainability of economic growth. Inflation Expectations Inflation expectations have increased, with consumers predicting a 5% average rate of inflation in the next year and 4.1% in the next five years. Such higher expectations can affect the behavior of consumers, leading to reduced spending and increased demand for higher wages, which can, in turn, propel inflationary pressures. ​ MarketWatch Regional Perspectives In Florida, and in towns like St. Cloud, the ramifications of deteriorating consumer attitudes are being experienced. Local shops can observe slower traffic and sales as local consumers grow more cautious in their spending. The state's tourism industry, a staple of the Florida economy, could also be affected if consumers nationwide curtailed travel spending.​ Strategies for Consumers In light of these occurrences, consumers might utilize the following strategies: Financial Planning and Budgeting: Recalculation and recasting personal budgets to incorporate rising costs can help keep expenses under control. Emergency Fund: Establishing or restoring an emergency fund can provide a measure of financial protection if a job is lost or unexpected expenses occur. Investment in Human Capital: Investment in additional education or skills can improve employability and job security in an potentially more constrained labor market. The latest decline in consumer confidence emphasizes the troubles facing the U.S. economy, such as persistent inflation, trade tensions, and labor market challenges. As consumers progress through this complex setting, being very well-educated and exhibiting good financial practices will be crucial for minimizing the impacts of these economic headwinds.

You chose

Flug asks to study him to help can aid others of Hats kind

“You’re the first one in all these years to figure that out you know...so let me make you a different offer for allowing you to stay...instead of having you as my lover for room and board how about you let me study you so I can aid others of your kind...."

He said gently, letting himself sink back into the water so only his head and shoulders were peeking out the waters surface .

Moving to rest next to Amadeus , his voice was somber

"The sad fact is anytime I've come across your species it's usually after some despicable being has almost mutilated you beyond recognition...."

Hat stared at him like the man had grown two heads and splashed him with water, water droplets now dripped from Acylius's glistening white beak

"I am not something to be used for a science experiment, I am not a toy for you too play doctor with!"

Amadeus screeched, slapping Acylius across the face, the slap , Acylius had expected to feel like that of a child throwing a tantrum instead he curled in on himself and was thrown to the bottom of the enormous bath they were in.

Amadeus looked at his own hand and then where Acylius had been a few small feathers floating to the top....

SHIT HAD HE KILLED HIM!? SHIT , SHIT, SHIT, SH-

The surface bubbled and suddenly he was staring up at the shadow, nothing left about him was white apart from four now glowing eyes , his voice raspy, sounding pained.

"Without......my mask.....I live in this form.... suffering....you have.... destroyed....it, I was asking, offering....I would never have done so without your permission...."

Hat also noticed the air felt thick and heavy as he watched what looked like thick fluid continuously oozing and trailing down Acylius's barely formed body, the world around them distorting and twisting, he saw four wings spreading out further than the expanse of this room.

It wasn't until there was a tiny mew that came from the door way, of Mew mew loaf staring up at him wanting to be made a fuss of that Acylius managed to contain himself and pull himself back together to his human form.

He collapsed on the floor not too far from her and she came over nuzzling his wet hair and giving him a small lick to his cheek.

Hat's heart was racing , he was in awe and yet terrified, the books about this man had never mentioned that...he saw the mask finally coming to the surface in two pieces , webbed cracking from the impact of where his hand had come in contact.

The room still seemed to have an errie throbbing motion as if it was alive....so Acylius purposely stunted his own powers for others? ...And for the sake of himself...

He focused on the man and his laboured breathing, he didn't know what to do, he should have heard him out first, so far Acylius hadn't kicked him out or let him starve, he'd taken him to this bathroom that clearly was otherworldly to actually get a decent one... besides being tossed in.... Acylius hadn't really been so bad....

Acylius slowly moved to his hands and knees, he could see he was trembling, his eyes widening as the man removed his clothing, he couldn't tear his gaze away from the scars and tattoos he had on his body, another thing the books had never mentioned and he found himself wanting to trace them all with the tips of his claws....to be under him and listen to the power of his voice, the loss of humanity as he....no, no he mustn't think of that....after what just happened, no doubt being his lover for the winter has just been wiped off the table...Hat felt his own body whimper in disappointment and that.

Acylius picked up Mew Mew loaf after stripping himself of his soaked clothing and cuddled her, gently squeezing her tiny pink toe beans and making a fuss of the black cat and nuzzling her, she was purring happily.

"You're my little ray of sunshine, your sweetness and warmth always help ground me, thank you for coming to my aid."

He cooed scratching behind her ears only for her purring to get louder.

"I'm going to get the the biggest salmon you could imagine and it'll be all yours, yes it will, you'd love that wouldn't you baby."

He placed little kisses all over her face until a paw was put on his lips and he chuckled

"Heh heh okay I get it you've had enough, I'll let you go, go on rest by the fire place dear."

Mew Mew Loaf gave him another small lick and stared at Hat , her pupils slits, she was far from impressed with him at the moment.

Nuzzling her master again she then padded off up stairs.

Hat had taken the two pieces of mask and was surprised by how light they were, especially for how big the mask was, bringing them to the baths edge he stared down at them and cleared his throat just a little to get Acylius's attention.

He saw him turn his head naturally far over his shoulder to look at him and a glimpse of the secondary eyes Acylius had opened and disappeared.

Standing up and turning to face him Hat tried not to look but it was....well kind of hard not to because there was nothing there between the man's thighs....it was like a blank canvas.

"Yes stare all you want, I only form what I want for self pleasure, but for my bed fellows I form what pleases them, shape size, type, human , in human, after all even today people are using devices shaped after non human entities, it's nothing new to me."

He stepped forward and took the mask pieces, his face expressing anything but a smile despite the scars that made it look like his face had a permanent one carved into it.

"Damn it, I'll have to go home to get this repaired, if I stay like this all winter....I won't be able to contain this form...."

Amadeus let curiosity get the better of him

"What , what do you mean?"

"The mask you just broke, it's what keeps me stable in this world, even now the earths metallic core is pulling at me, pulling me apart, if it was the height of summer I'd have to leave immediately....are you happy now that you know more than the other deluded morons who thought me a god I did not want to be."

Hat's breath hitched as he saw those scars parting and the snarl forming made of sharp teeth, his heart thumping, but not from fear.

"No, I didn't mean to.... I'm sorry..."

He whispered as he saw Acylius continuing to look over the mask.

"This is not an easy thing to break, you are not like the others of your breed, maybe I should put you on a discecting table after all , cut you open and see what makes you tick...."

He saw the fear in Hat's eyes and sighed

"It was a jest small one, I can just use my powers to examine you painlessly, all I would need is a little blood here and there to see what would be poisonous or not."

Acylius sighed and placed them carefully to one side.

"Please stop making everything so difficult, I simply intend to treat you as a doctor, the items I intend to use are herbal and medicinal, it'll help your body ache less and reduce swelling if you have any while also revitalising you, I will not touch anywhere that makes you uncomfortable, I'm a doctor first unless said patient is coherent and asks otherwise...by patient I mean you."

Insektober day 21: Reimagine (sorry its late lol)

It's the middle of winter. Staurolite stirs from his hibernation and looks around in the dark, sheet-covered room. No one else is awake. He pushes aside one of the sheets draped over the wall, silently exiting the room to take a walk. It's night time outside, and the ground is blanketed in snow. So this is what it looks like, Staurolite thinks. He glances through the arches separating the inside of the school from the cold outside world, shadows passing over him as he walks down the hallway in hopes to tire himself out. He sees another gem standing in the hall, just as surprised to see him as he is to see her! It's Lepidolite.

"What are you doing out here? Could you not sleep either?" He asks.

Lepidolite seems puzzled for a moment, but answers, "Ah? No."

"Um. Are you okay?" Staurolite asks, glancing down at Lepidolite's worn hands, the powder gradually fading off them.

"Fine! I just... wanted to see the snow. It's beautiful in this moonlight, isn't it?"

"Yeah... how's your outfit doing that?"

"Doing what?"

"It's so shiny it looks like light! Mine's just plain fabric."

"Don't be so harsh. Your gown's prettier than mine, and mine only shines sometimes!"

"Oh. Um. Thank you," Staurolite stammers, flattered.

"You should head back to sleep, I think."

"... When will I see you again?"

Lepidolite seems taken aback by the question. "Hey, don't worry about that okay? I have my job and you have yours. For now our meeting is a secret; the other gems can't know we were awake during hibernation! That's why I think you should go back now."

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine, I just want to watch the stars a moment longer."

---

Lepidolite is Aelia and Staurolite is Max! Lepidolite resides on the Moon with Fire Opal and his Lunarian friends, while Staurolite is an Earth gem that doesn't quite know where he belongs.

Today's drawing is surprisingly not a screenshot redraw, just a fake screenshot! I experimented with some texture brushes and glowy effects for this one, and also primarily drew it on streams. It's fun! I think I draw faster when ppl are watching me ngl. Though, it did take me a stupidly long amount of time to figure out the star brush I was supposed to use was literally "Spray" on CSP. Aka one of the default brushes that r RIGHT THERE in the airbrush category lmao.

Acylius x Vincent

Both mine though honestly the fact that a rabbit man with purple called Vincent may have been heavily Inspired by ahem a particular murderous animatronic rabbit.

Drew this last year, Vincent waited 3 years to finally be in a romantic picture with Acylius, he's been obsessed with him forever.

Just decided to finally post this also.

[a-collection-of-villainous-aus]

YOU CHOSE:

Acylius says, tadaaa guess you got to see my bird form after all.

Acylius quickly sat Amadeus on one of the seating rims of the stone tree stump, if he’d known Amadeus couldn’t swim he’d never have used his magic...or otherwise to toss him in like that.

He searched him over, his hands now were so massive that Amadeus’s head more than

Easily fit into the dip of his palm, the man was a mass of feathers and a looming shadow in comparison, his fingers pressed gently against Amadeus’s lips and glowed, drawing out what water that had made it into his lungs, he made sure to be extremely careful. It had been a long time since someone had found him and he’d had to make use of his skills as a doctor.

When the smaller being gasped he let out a sigh of relief after all he’d never had to tend to someone of Amadeus’s species before, not because he wouldn’t have but there wasn’t much known about his kind and none of them had ever come to him for help before, by the time he’d ever had to tend to one was because he was told to do an autopsy on whatever remains there were.

He stared at Amadeus a moment, running a hand over him and finding his heart beat he felt each one, a peculiar unusual rhythm that he found fascinating.

Amadeus stared up at him, his eyes wide, there he was, Lord Acylius Flug, the creature who had disappeared, believed dead, it really was him, this being had been practically a legend three hundred years ago, only a statue in the town where he’d come from and a few books in the library. His statue with its spread wings and arms held out in a position that showed he was ready to carry you anywhere had been his shelter, even on the coldest nights, curled up between its feet it had radiated warmth.

Now he was here being looked over by him, looked after by him, so far if he was honest Acylius was nothing like he’d imagined him...and he found he didn’t mind...but on the other hand...

“Are you crazy, you threw me in there without even knowing I could swim, with my clothes on which are now water logged, are you completely out of your mind!”

Hat snapped, folding his arms and huffing at him, still trying to hide the slight blush, maybe he thought he looked rather fetching in this form but he wasn’t going to say that, especially after what he’d just done and he’d told Acylius already he wasn’t a fanatic, he didn’t want him getting the wrong idea.

He did look though when Acylius pulled back a little and even though he couldn’t see the awkward smile due to the angle of his now avian features he could see the somewhat guilty smile with how those four black eyes creased.

Watching as Acylius worried his hands a little only to spread out his hands and sheepishly say

“Tadaaa I uh , guess you got to see my bird form after all...I am sorry for doing that though, I really should have asked the fault is entirely mine.”

Amadeus had been on the verge of replying when he saw Acylius continue to rise to the surface, a moment ago he’d seen only his head and shoulders, the rest was submerged in water until Acylius was standing on the waters surface.

Amadeus’s heart skipped a beat as Acylius kept his gaze on him....

Black Hat learned the statue was in fact far smaller than the man himself, swallowing thickly he wondered what was about to happen, wincing and shielding himself as Acylius bowed and gently took one small hand.

“Allow me to introduce myself properly, it is the least I can do after being so rude and putting your life in possible danger. My name is Lord Acylius Flug, retired doctor and Legion demon, though personally for you if you have ailments I will do my best to attend to them though I know very little about your kind...”

Amadeus knew that already but hearing it from him, and how he held himself, he could see why others had been drawn to him, of course the first thing out of his mouth was

“Are you holy, you’re walking on water?”

He wanted to throw himself back in the water and stay at the bottom, so of course he was surprised when he heard the Legion laughing warmly

“On the contrary my fellow, I am half human and half demon, the very real sad case of such a thing is , I will die of old age, but not by human standards, thankfully frailty has not found me yet, though I suppose holiness simply depends perhaps on what you consider divine...”

Placing a hand upon Amadeus’s Hat he blessed him with the ability for the time being to sink as deep as he wanted into the water and breathe under it if he so wished.

“You will not drown now, but if you don’t remove your clothing I can’t exactly tend to you with the deep massage you’re clearly in need of.”

Hat was trembling all over, not from fear, but the magic he’d felt coursing through him, it was similar to the warmth the statue gave off, it made him realize in a way Acylius had never left the people of the town.

“You...you did something to your statue so people could find comfort in it, not to give them what they wanted but what they needed...from the heart.”

“You’re the first one in all these years to figure that out you know...so let me make you a different offer for allowing you to stay...

Omg getting some of these in was a right pain

Insektober day 8: Film Style (Horror)!

I always knew I wanted to draw something horror-themed for today, but I didn't know what it would be... I chose to parody Carrie in the end cuz the blood spill scene is horrifying but in a more sorta psychological way... and it is very easily translated into Insektors as I draw it!

As you may be able to deduce from the Koal Juice spilled everywhere... I don't want to veer into gore territory with my insektors art! I think with Insektors there's a lot more ways I can convey fear while also keeping it pg --or at least, the kind of pg you might see on an 80's/90's era film like Labyrinth or Antz. Antz is actually a huge inspiration for my insektors work if you can believe that! That movie is SO fucked up btw. good grief.

ramblings abt Carrie under the cut, since I'm thinking about it! warning for dysphoria i guess???

I know Carrie is kinda infamous for its theme of menstruation & that being tied to the horror of the story, though I actually find that idea compelling as a trans man--I think the idea of menstrual horror is interesting and frightening in concept, but I think it usually falls flat cuz its mostly like, cisgender men writing about it, and they don't really 'get it'. And then on the other hand I think its simply not well explored cuz your average woman just doesn't find that sort of thing scary at all lol-- how could they when it's just a mundane and normal thing that happens every month? And that is valid.

It is scary to me personally because its uncontrollable and its essentially your body betraying you once every month, or worse, just completely randomly ! It's the lack of control over your body and your life that gets me I think. less like "lol isnt it scary women have periods" and more "isnt it scary that your body does this thing that hurts you and destroys you and you have no way of stopping it". Maybe we should have more transmasc authors writing horror? or maybe I've been looking in the wrong places and there are a shit ton I have never heard of!! Maybe both!

sorry abt going on a long rant on a post abt funny bugs! also, did you know drawing dripping fluids is very difficult for me? it is! I like the second panel more than the first because the koal juice arrangement (??????) feels more realistic to me. Anyways im taggigng this with spcopophobia cuz I drew Aelia's eyes kinda scary in that second panel. I will take any opportunity to draw a character with scary eyes LOL.
