#Puppet Dance: Edda

Angeltober Day 7: Smite

Today I learnt that “smite” means “To hit with a heavy object,” so what better way to draw this prompt than to draw Edda with her axe! Specifically, my Puppet Dance! Edda being all cool and stuff!

… I realized that this is the very first art I’ve drawn of any Puppet Dance! Character-

Prompt list belongs to @ultrainfinitepit

My sillies!!!! I love them so much!! Eeeeeee they look so adorable!

... I know this might sound a bit vain, but perhaps the Puppet Dance! Duo next?

AKA these two sillies

Day 15 // "Puppet Dance Duo"

[indiestsnake]

Good morning!

Can't remember if I yeeted this idea as yet, so uhhhh....

Grace and Fury duo meets the Puppet Dance Duo? How would Edda react? What about Aven?

you did!! I just forgor to reply ._. sorry lol

Edda would find them very adorbable. Dog clone. Dog aven. I know he’s not exactly a dog but she would be like “:0 dog!!!!!”

Aven would find their biology interesting. And would think Edda looks cool with claws and all her stuff :)

Okay so there's my Retelling, Puppet Dance! Basically Worldless but more steampunk-esque, and some of the starfolks have animal traits. Edda's a tasmanian devil while Aven's a thylacine. You can read all the current chapters here.

There's also Dark Spear, which is basically the same as canon except Aven's the same species as Lightning Nightmare... but a dark variant of them! He's the last of his kind though.

Then there's Underdogs AU, which is basically "What if the Duo failed at stopping Worldless?" The duo (Edda and Aven) ends up dying during the fight with Worldless, resetting the universe. The war continues to rage on...

However, Aodh, a Shadow Legs, accidentally transcends with Edel, a fairy. Together, they take down opponents and finally kill Worldless... AKA an alternate duo!

And now there's Tunglsöng, which is basically "Edda gets forcefully turned into this deer wolf-critter in order to restore a fantasy world from this corruption that's turning to gods into monsters"-

Oooh!! The alternate duo idea piques my interest!

I'm also interested in the steampunk theme of Puppet Dance! AU. I've already seen the duo and I think they're pretty neat :D

You seem to really like creatures and critters that in my mind that's like your trademark at this point /pos

[sqarletsworldlesswandering]

Happy Halloween!

Puppet Dance! Edda, Aven and Gris appears. What will be the Eclipsed characters' reactions?

Aven dumps a bucket of candy over them-

Summum sniffs curiously at them, Quimera isn't sure who's there, Adaptation is just along for the ride, and Tephira immediately invites them for dinner. Tzafira and Hasyut help clean up the candy while Edda bodily picks up Aven and deposits him over her shoulders.

Everyone is having a good time.

Prompt #13: Free day - Nothing

[CW: Nightmares, body horror, death, violence, distorted reality, etc. It’s, hopefully, disturbing as all get out.  Mood Music:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3bfRBassAQ]

<"Oh... So -that- is what you are....">

He was falling, falling into nothing.  It was his name afterall, Khenbish, the curse his mother gave him and wouldn't even release on the brink of death.  That he’d find himself trapped within it felt right as much as it felt terrifying. 

He should feel the wind from his descent abrading his skin, but he felt nothing.  The xaela should feel fear in his heart, but as the limitless empty continued to swallow him whole even that was taken from him.  His skin, scales, and hair is what went next, lifting up in shreds to expose well developed muscle.  Each of the shreds forms, briefly, into a reflection of death.  Not his, there was only emptiness for him after all, a long eternity of nothing with no respite.  But others he knew.  Zareen’s form contorted into a void spawned monster with a katana piercing a chest that no longer moved.  Dunrai’s eyes turned as silvery white as twin full moons before the light faded within them leaving only a sea of stars and a foreign intelligence that no mortal was meant to hold, blood poured from eyes and mouth as the remnant of Aya it clung to fluttered away.  Brem missing half of her skull with a macabre grin.  Melody’s broken limbs tied to puppet strings cursed to dance to the tune of a madman whose laughter had no sound. 

Sana’s elegant form curled protectively around a child with red hair and a patch of scale across his nose, looking as if they are taking a nap but will never awaken.  C’ohana, Kadour, Terbish, Kojhin, Kindoron, Soliam, Geriel, Aveis, Ganzorig, Edda, and more and more and more until the last bit of skin is stripped from muscle.  The last holds the visage of C’tolemy’s broken body at the bottom of a cliff with a belly too rounded to simply be extra weight.   Muscle is stripped away next, the bits detaching as if a butcher was carving prey into prime cuts of meat for later consumption.  One thigh then the other, leaving gleaming white bones behind that no longer moved as the xaela wished.  He could wiggle his toes as an eternity swallowed him whole, but lift his leg from the hip?  Might as well wish to kiss the sun unscathed.  The butocks go next, the curve the xaela often admired in fits of pure vanity in the mirror no more than bloodless hunks of meat that disappear from his sight all too soon.  As soon as they go then the calves follow, one at a time.  Back, shoulders, arms, chest, hands, feet are all taken from him, leaving a motionless skeleton and nothing more.  Nothing except his eyes, lidless and staring.  Nothing except the brain rattling around in a skull attached to organs gone useless and slack.  Eyes that strain to see to no avail, a mind that struggles to comprehend the meaning of annihilation as that is all that is left. 

Lungs are empty sacks with no muscle to support, fluttering away into the airless dark.  Kidneys slorp out of the rack of bones, tumbling below faster than the skeleton does. 

Was there gravity in non existence?  Apparently so. 

The last to go are the testes, flitting after the fleeing bladder like twin yoyos stuck spinning at the end of a string. 

Somehow the eyes don’t go, the same force tugs upon them, but the soft orbs stay firmly ensconced within the horned skull.  Instead the horns crack showing a crescendo of death, this time faces the man didn’t recognize but was forced to remember nonetheless. 

White dust then, starting from the slim bones that were once his toes, swirling and dancing around the crumbling skeleton as it was steadily consumed by oblivion.  The awareness trapped in the mind watched with pure apathy, helpless to stop the march of decay.  The bones were useless without muscle, the muscle vulnerable without skin, the sack of flesh pointless without a heart to beat or blood to carry life. 

Where did his blood go anyway? The skull wondered as it’s jaw drifted into pure white powder that stuck to his eyes, blinding him until it was swept away with the rest of his skull.  The gelatinous mass of his brain imploded upon itself in utter silence. 

Pink rimmed eyes of crimson glowed within the void, floating, floating, floating until POP, they too succumbed to the call of nothing at all. 

In utter silence, Khenbish screamed.

Finally… I gave the Puppet Dance! Duo proper designs-

I attempted to give Aven fancy stripes that are faintly visible against the rump patch but… it didn’t really work out… Also he has some little Diamond stripes too!

Also @frontalheadpart1 I am sorry but I decided against giving her… boobs, so to make up for it, she have fluffy chest floof… Yeah I may be a bit too obsessed with marsupials-

[octahedral-chaos]

@themissinglynx here's my duo!

The AU they're from is called Puppet Dance, and its basically a steampunk-inspired AU that still sticks pretty close to canon in terms of events and stuff!

Edda's based on a tasmanian devil. She's somewhat mischievous but is extremely curious about everything, plus she tends to be really feisty at times. She also may get the case of the zoomies from time to time. She dearly loves Aven (Platonic) and will defend him with her life, as he's the only starfolk who doesn't try to attack or hurt her.

Aven's based on a thylacine. He's really shy and skittish about everything, but is quite chill once he warms up to someone. He will be loafing while Edda is playfighting with something /SILLY. Anyways, Aven trusts Edda and considers her his very first true friend, as he had a really, REALLY rough childhood.

They basically only have each other (And Old One but eh), and they're the best of friends!

[octahedral-chaos]

Random fun fact about my Puppet Dance AU:

Light starfolks could actually touch water, and may even swim! Edda just hate being wet.

[octahedral-chaos]

*wriggles out of ur floorboards*

have you been enjoying writing puppet dance? if I might ask, which of the duo’s characters and/or designs do you like more?

Yeah!!! Puppet Dance is an absolute blast to write. Hopefully brain will start braining and I'll be able to write!

Also hmmm... I can't chose! They're both adorable ans fluffy... although probably Aven since he's based on thylacines... and thylacines are the best.

Although Edda is very cute, fluffy and mischievous!

[octahedral-chaos]

Idk if I've asked this before, but what are Puppet Dance! Edda and Aven like?

Like their personalities/ interests/ fears?

Hmmm..

Well, Edda is quite curious, but rather feisty at times! She's very rough-and-tumble and loves a good playfight. She loves exploration and learning about stuff, and is somewhat scared of being stared at. She has red-green colourblindness, and the only reason I mentioned the fact that Summum and the Red realm was... Well, green and red was to avoid confusing people.

Granted, I could play into that a bit later.

Aven is much more skittish and shy, preferring to flee than to fight. He loves swimming and reading, and just feels pretty safe when he's with Edda. He has visual snow syndrome and ASD... and I think it would be funny if I gave a little nod to that-

Oh and Aven hates bright lights and loud noises

[octahedral-chaos]

... Why am I trying to figure out whether tasmanian devils have digitigrade legs like thylacines or plantigrade legs-

[octahedral-chaos]

Would the brain static produce rambles if I feed it a prompt?

Liiiiiiike how puppet dance duo and Gris might respond to, say the New Management crew or canonical Gris?

Hmmmm... I think the trio would be quite mortified with Summum's situation, and would try their best to cheer him up. I could see them being very confused with the NM! Duo though-

With Canon! Old One... Gris would be baffled that they're technically the same being-

[octahedral-chaos]

Puppet Dance is so funny at times because now I am wondering whether to not give Edda… ahem… things because she’s based on a Tasmanian Devil, which is a type of marsupial and most definitely lack visible things, but then she’s an eldritch horror from the dawn of time-
