#adventures in studying

[devildevotee]

the course has already been a test of endurance and patience, especially with how they regard demonic activity (it's very old fashioned and fearmonger-y, even to the point they blame depression on demonic activity which i disagree with HEAVILY).

i think i understand why lucifer prompted me to study it though, because ultimately i need to come to my own conclusion about demons. i need to surround myself with a variety of opinions, to see what i end up truly believing. he's doing it not as a test, but to watch me go through the odds and ends of questioning whether demons harm or help, especially because he knows i'm easily influenced by others in vulnerable situations (that's just a personal problem tho that i gotta work through). i think he wants me to be confident in what i believe, and who i am.

that being said, i hope it's amusing to him to watch me go about this with the grace of a headless chicken lol.

doylist explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: probably something about space constraints and making sure two sprites in one seat aren't covering anyone else when they're not in focus

watsonian explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: he snuck in and is hiding from the teachers, don't give him away 🤫

(I've reached my limit of unsuccessful attempts at pulling them before I need to save keys for Halloween, so I've been living vicariously through youtube videos...but the fact that Gidel just pops up from under the desk to wave his arms around happily is really testing my resolve. D: I'm gonna die when they finally get to do alchemy...)

You keep telling yourself that Namari.

highly doubt they would ever meet but I'm curious what The Hunter would write about Dewi

Dewi

A human child, the largest living creature in Hallownest. His skin is soft, but strength lurks behind his stride.

༻━━━━━━━━━━༻✧༺━━━━━━━━━━༺

Legends tell of immense godly creatures who strode through clouds and walked across the plane in times of old. Perhaps such fantastical stories are not as unthinkable as they once were...

....

A strange mountainous creature. Though he seeks the thrill of the hunt, he does not close in for the kill. Us mere bugs seem to be easy prey. To be truly hunted by a creature so vast is a bewitching thought.

༻━━━━━━━━━━༻✧༺━━━━━━━━━━༺

I absolutely love The Hunter, so of course he'd make a visit to see the beast everyone in Hallownest has been whispering about (and when I say everyone I mean like 10 people).

Copying artstyle off of older Steven and Connie concept art for the heck of it. (And chibis. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠▾⁠｀⁠)⁠┌)

The proportions felt awkward to draw, I did end up stretching them a bit. Haha

...I might have read "Howl" by Ginsberg four times since taking the train this morning. I also might have listened to him reciting it for about 40 minutes.

I do not know American literature very well, so I had only the vaguest idea this poem existed, but holy fuck!

This is like getting punched in the stomach repeateadly and asking for more! How had no one talked to me about it before??????

Prompt 207

Danny does not come out of the portal. 

In fact, he’s lost. Very lost. He just wants to go home and is getting scared of everything around him because he doesn’t know what’s going on. But! But he’s found an (admittedly also terrifying) castle or keep or whatever they’re called that all the ghosts avoid!

It never exactly enters his mind that they might have been avoiding such a place for a reason. 

In unrelated news, the first thing Fright Knight sees after his sword was (accidentally) knocked free from its prison is not a blob ghost- they’ve done it a few times over the eternities- but a ghostling. A newborn ghostling, who promptly bursts into tears to his genuine horror. What did he do?!

I think the biggest revelation will not be about what fear Pochita represents, but rather the fact that she's a "girl/female"

This information alone concludes a whole host of themes: the birth demon theory, Denji's search for maternal affection, symbolic as an orphan but also impossible because he has merged with the Supreme Mother, i.e. the birth demon, but above all the fact that in reality this dream has already been fulfilled.
