the Mina art I started before I got too busy to finish it (shared it on twt for Mina’s bday, so might as well post it here)

[ladybugkisses]

iirc you said it took a lot of mental convincing for you to make a tadc s/i, or at least post about her. are there any other fandoms you want to make a s/i for?

hmmm i don't think so?? at least not at the moment 🤔

there are a few things i'd like to maybe try and design S/Is for one day (like MLP:FiM and The Lion King), but i doubt i'd make much art with them as i'm not super invested in them the way i am with other interests, it's mostly my nostalgia speaking

one of these days i'm gonna marathon the Sonic movies and bring back my OC from 2009 though mark my words

HELLOWEEN #10: ACABUS

-ACABUS is a Constable of Hell with 3,921 Watch-Men and 42 co-signed laws to her name. She may be summoned to prevent entry and egress from contained spaces, produce sigils to command those in their wake, produce a cubic oubliette preventing all egress and cause injury to those who have broken contracts.

She appears as a knight with a long tower for a head with an eye at the apex, wielding a hammer in one arm and a telescope in another. She requires a contract for her services, do not sign it with your dominant hand or else you are doomed to damnation.-

As there are landlords in hell, there are also cops. And amongst cops, a decent sample is Acabus. Petty would be the word I use to describe her, but not for her own indulgence's sake (at least not overtly), but rather for the sake of the Law.

This was clear to me when I contacted her within an entire city block she had taken over due to a simple parking violation, barricated from every avenue of egress, automobiles and pedestrians alike crushed into cubes due to being complicit in the viscinity of the parking violation, all surfaces festooned with tickets like freshly fallen snow. 

Despite her pretentions, she is more or less a low-level traffic cop of hell, dealing with loitering, violations of driver safety, ticketing, and barricades amongst others. She really loves barricades. She waxed baroque of the art of making them as glorious yet painful and difficult to egress from as possible, and the ones in the location I had met her indeed seemed to bear an elaborate artisanship, albeit a grotesque one given the amount of twisted forms adjacent to humanoid and flame-belching skulls (conscious and unconscious alike) therein.

But, despite her low level, she was extremely proud of her work, saying that hell would devolve "like those filthy lemurs above," without her, her hatred of the souls of sinners and desire to punish as terrifying as it was sincere (despite being notably unhappy about her own limitations) and emphasizing to an almost suspiciously insistent degree that all she did was "by the book" unlike those who were here.

She did not seem to like most of hell either though, given the way the conversation (More a monologue on her part) escalated to her contempt for the hosts of hell, and I recall the line "Were I the ruler I would make Pandemonium itself a prison!" was uttered.

I quickly gave my leave after her comments on Pandemonium, heaven knows what she might do to me, but there was one other notable thing about her. 

She told me her proudest moment was being brought on for inducing a traffic-jam for participating in large-scale torture of souls, who had been released onto a 'street" in "cars" and told they were free. Not even the main torturer, just as an assistant, but to her it was the closest moment to pure justice in her mind.

Of course, the justice of Hell was never supposed to exist, because the justice of pain is a false one. But I didn't tell that to her out loud. God no.

----------------------------

This one's one of my favorite designs I made for this project, and I am at least sorta proud of the "small-name big-ego traffic cop" personality I gave her. 

The design's impetus was actually based on Road Rage from Ultimate Muscle, if anyone remembers that, and the love of traffic barricades is an Earthbound reference! 

And yes, she totally would fight a small child who wanted to get past one of said barricades, that is something she would enthusiastically do.

Also, Xavier's not just being poetic, in my setting, Hell was a gargantuan cosmic mistake, a maelstrom-wound that drives the wicked into its folds, but in a way that was never ever intended. So yeah, there's that bit of lore.

♱ Nosferatu (2024) dir. Robert Eggers ♱

+ bonus

[the-crooked-library]

Nosferatu (2024) is unquestionably a multifaceted work, but what I personally consider to be the unifying idea behind its facets is that, for Ellen, Orlok represents validation.

Her fears are dismissed and called childish?.. He's a nightmarish manifestation of them.

She is consistently disrespected by everyone around her?.. He considers her his only equal. She never uses his title, it's permitted.

She is told to fix herself, misunderstood, and always isolated?.. He knows all the darkest parts of her and is delighted by them. He wants her just as she is, so much that he will lie, kill, and cross the ocean to find her.

The scene in their death/wedding bed is a direct parallel to the scene of her waking in that bed at the beginning of the film. She complains to Thomas that the "honeymoon is yet too short" and tries to pull him down with a kiss - however, he is worried about being late for work, and so he extricates himself and leaves. Cut forward to her sharing the same bed with Orlok, similarly early in the morning; he is startled by cock-crow and begins to rise, but she guides his head back down - and, even though he knows that he will die, he stays. He is her sexual and emotional desire, realized.

Given that there is a plethora of emotions Ellen is forced to suppress on daily basis, there is no singular correct interpretation of her relationship with Orlok. To erase any one of them is to render it shallower than it actually is; but there is no doubt as to why their attachment is mutual. To each, the other is something they’ve never had before.

can't stop thinking about tamsyn muir's choice to present her deep, morally and politically complex science fantasy world with a central web of magic, secrets and lies reaching back ten thousand years through the eyes of three characters who:

1. tune out and start thinking about hot women whenever the magic system or worldbuilding are being explained

2. experience hallucinations on a daily basis, have brain damage and are being deceived and misled by their peers, authority figures, themselves and God

3. don't know who they are, have spent their entire life in one place and are, on all levels but physical, six months old
