Edmund Dulac- Ulalume

[rinariverss]

Our talk had been serious and sober, But our thoughts they were palsied and sere— Our memories were treacherous and sere,— For we knew not the month was October, And we marked not the night of the year.

My Nevermore self-insert + some rough drafts of her design :D

Her name is Ulalume (based on the poem Ulalume by Edgar Allen Poe)

I might post some more information about her, but so far her back story is this:

She is a scholar learning astronomy in the late 1890s. She at some point hanging in a cemetary until she got murdered by an envious peer.

(this is my first post :)

"The skies they were ashen and sober; / The leaves they were crispéd and sere— / The leaves they were withering and sere; / It was night in the lonesome October / Of my most immemorial year."

*slaps the hood of this scenario*

This baby can hold SO many Poe references. Play through and see if you can spot allusions to the following short stories and poems...

The fine folks at The Old Ways Podcast performed a dramatic audio actual-play of the roleplaying scenario I wrote, "The Mask of the Hideous Heart" (for the horror/comedy game THEY CAME FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!).

Get ready for an homage to Edgar Allan Poe, Roger Corman, and 60s/70s horror! PART 2!

PART 3!

not kubrick's lolita having a scene of him reading poe to her

@dcwnthercad ( ulalume ) - continued from here !

the  sight  of  his  cousin  has  him  grin  at  the  femme.  truly,  of  all  the  upheaval  and  the  circumstances  they've  faced  here,  it  had  also  become  an  opportunity  for  the  day  lord  to  spend  more  time  with  his  extended  family  along  with  his  immediate  one.  the  game  was  not  pressing  against  his  mind,  but  as  he  sat  there,  determined  to  understand  the  puzzle  the  sight  of  his  cousin  appearing  certainly  improved  dec's  moods.

"pleased  to  see  you,  dear  cousin."  his  signature  smile  adorning  his  lips  before  a  chuckle  fell  at  her  remark.  "indeed  it  dark  times,  more  than  reasons  than  one.  "i  have  just  began,  show  a  bit  of  faith  in  your  cousin,  cousin."  he  tosses,  his  hands  still  rummaging  through  the  various  tid  bits  of  the  puzzle.  "most  certainly,  we  will  now,  with  your  brilliant  mind  joining  my  own."  as  he  assorted  everything  correctly,  to  begin  from  the  start,  his  dark  hues  settled  on  the  younger  femme.  "and  how  are  you  doing,  ula?"

(More) New Years Kisses!

Annabel X Lenore x Ada in a healthy relationship. Imagine how flustered she'd be at two gorgeous girls kissing her!!

Aderlane. Tamerlane's wife must be wondering where he is

Doppet! They were unironically the easiest to draw our of all the Nevermore characters

Prospero x Garlic bread. This was done very last minute

Ada learning form Will (or the other way around)

Berenice x Annabel's ship name should be Pearlywhites. I liked Berenice's personality in contrast to how proper Annabel is. Plus, they are in my opinion the two prettiest characters in Nevermore

Berenice x Prospero. The only appeal of this ship to me is Vampire x Man afraid of his own blood,nothing else really. Also, did they ever even talk in the webtoon, I'm pretty sure they didn't

Prospero x The red death. I can't ever have too much art of Prospero being happy in any way, must balance it out with angst

Lastly, Ulalume on New Years, obsessively drawing her classmates kissing (weirdo)
