#and claws because once again

Curze grinned at the First Captain suddenly, transforming his visage into a death’s head rictus lit by febrile eyes. ‘Now you have met my brother, you must surely prefer crows to ravens.’

That was a joke, thought Sevatar. He did not understand jokes. ‘My lord, are we finished?’

For some unfathomable reason, that made Curze cringe, and he nodded like a rebuked child.

LINE READING SO DEVASTATING I NEED TO DIE ABOUT IT

I hate that I have reoccurring themes in everything I make. YES this guy has a complex over the fact that everyone prefers his sibling AGAIN. YES he was ostracized by his peers since he was in primary school and never knew why until years later. URGH

its been exactly a month since i posted some art and stuff but i assure you i have a good reason and that reason is I GOT DRAGGED INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE ABYSS BY ELDRITCH HORRORS AND CAME OUT WITH A RETURNING OBSESSION AND THIS FREAK.

So there was this roleplay me and my friends were doing and I had to design a new villian to replace an old one and so I came up with a design on the spot and now this old man exists and what do you mean people think hes hot whaaaaat

he's got no name, i've just been calling him THE KING because just calling him Nightmare feels weird and like I might figure out a nickname for him???

idk what i wanna do with him but i think hes cool... if i give into the urges i'll write more about him and his potential AU because yes i think im suddenly obsessed with this

oh btw in case you're still here um fun fact; the gem in his crown is actually malachite! this was just for fun and then i googled the symbolism behind the gemstone and then realized how ironic and fitting it was

additionally, the crowns of both the passive and corrupted forms took HEAVY inspiration from dreamcatchers, and I like the idea that the corrupted form lacks a mouth because the villagers tried to silence him (as in keep him quiet and refusing to let him speak his mind or have any freedom, but also eventually attempting to literally kill him. its something that still haunts him to this day presumably, and compared to other nightmares he's actually a lot more composed and quieter too, maybe somewhat because of that!) and...yeah, i stole the idea of "nightmare's tentacles resembling tree branches" idea from another design... I can't find the artist I got that idea from though... credit to @irriska for their Epimeliad!Nightmare design because that outfit inspired the one for this Nightmare!

Just a study/headcanon thingie comparing Maxwell and Wilson's arms and how they're different. Cuz fuck yeah shadow arm + chemical burn heacanons. Plus a contrast version just to more clearly illustrate Wil's scars, these aren't very high visibility. --Just the left arms.

Tiny smidge of hc under the cut--probably not even enough to justify a read-more. Mostly rambling, sorry.

I have thought too much about this.

-Max's claws/talons/whatever are sharper than Wil's. They're also kinda polished and shiny, as well as pretty much scar-less. This is mostly because he prefers his puppets to do the dirty work, but also because he's a little too concerned with his appearance for someone struggling to survive.

-Wil's are slightly shorter and duller from manual labor and lack of care for them. If he wanted to do some damage (which is a last resort for both of them) he absolutely could, but they're not going to prick your skin.

-The skin of both their arms is smooth and hairless, hair just... doesn't really grow well on shadow skin, ig. As you get to the fingers, the tops gradually feel smoother and harder, like, chitinous (i think.) The palms and undersides of the fingers remain somewhat soft and textured.

-Not claw related, but Max has longer palms and fingers! (fingers mostly.) Apparently this makes him water-aligned or something? Based on... I don't know what. Just something I came across looking for references.

-I dunno what that'd make Wil, since his hands are fairly average in proportions. Maybe his fingies are a smidge long?? So air I guess??

-Wil actually holds some amount of pride for his scars (save for the palm cut.) He sees them as symbols of his growth as a scientist. They do however stiffen those areas of his skin and pull a bit, which can be mildly painful.

-The palm cut he really wishes he didn't have. Baaaaad memories.

-Aaaaand on the subject of self-consciousness: Wil is kinda bothered by the shadow arm thing. Less so as time goes on (in the camp it's become pretty normalized,) but he initially wore his gloves over them to try to hide them.

as someone who never shipped rylo and still does not, (mostly) releasing myself from the shackles of antishipping was so freeing. I can appreciate kylo and rey's dynamic for the things I do like about it without having to worry about the nonexistent discourse response in my head. they're a fucked-up little dyad brimming in force energy! it's a neat concept for two enemies who find themselves the only two force sensitives who are in a place to explore it. kylo using the dyad as a fucked-up homing beacon to find rey in tros is creepy, which I love for a guy who's just coming off the heels of being the worst dude in the galaxy!

but also I can appreciate fnnrey for what it is, again, without having to respond to the nonexistent discourser in my head or comparing it against another ship. I enjoy them as a romantic pair (and also as a pair of force sensitives!) and I feel like I can do that better when I'm focusing on the things I like

ok but Eight's constent bouts of amnesia as trying to undertsand who he is and his relationship to his own race of time lords is so fasintng to me guys

because as a doctor who really didn't know, as he thought he was finally embraced by his own home world, only to be broken down physically and emotinally peice by peice as he is made into an ultimate weapon of distuction of all life and time

to learn from that, to learn to hate all time lords because of it, to come out of it dispising all of who you were supposed to be as a proper time lord

only to then right after be shoved into a place where he littiraly has to cling into this one detail about himself because that is the reason he is basically expiriancing chronic pain !!! so he has to cling to "actualy i am a time lord becuse i physically cannot ignore it so might as well embrace it"

how its all confirmed right afer he comes back to out univerce that he feels shame that he is a time lord at all but still has to revel in it because that was the main thing that he had for so long, fuck

ALSO OMG FUCK, in the way he clingsto himself constantly torn and bloody, he only embraced his time lord part after it constantly gave him pain, finally "making sense" in his mind, a person who defins himself by how much blood he can let out, it all makes sense!!!

that is to say rip the eighth doctor, you would have thrived/died even more in the timeless child arc

right at the beginning of the Silmarillion (literally on chapter one) at some point it says that on everything that was made on Eä over the first days, Aulë had a part, and what makes me deeply insane about that is the same fucking wording used to talk about Mairon’s involvement in Melkor’s work. I am once again unwell about Mairon being unable to escape being a Maia of Aulë, because what if the true thing that you cannot escape is you.
