A bit of backstory about what happened to Krushy...

Krushy's anger turned her into a large monster, all she wanted was the best for her friends, and feeling as if she was incapable of taking care of them because of her vulnerability, the pain caught up to her and she finally lost her very marbles. (Lol.)

She became unbelievably unstoppable in her monster form now that she was larger and more relentless. She was so angry, it would've been her to 'OOF' Doey if Doey didn't 'OOF' her first (I just don't like the word kill so I'm keeping it friendly! 😅), and knowing he was one of the strongest experiments needed in order to take her down, the others mainly got him for the job. He continuously feels like it was completely his fault for her the incident and everything else she had experienced through her traumas, and none of it ever was. 😭

He only wishes to have those memories and Krushy back...

Ofc, when I get the time, I will post their wholesome moments before all of this! It will be part of the Always and Forever AU, but until then, stay tuned! ♡

Memories.

[michellymy]

Seth Yaneh

From the modern AU (or a new story, I’m thinking about the name).

He is Kenyan’s and Sylris’s child, but not in the traditional way. They kinda rescued (kidnapped?……) him from a death scene, but Sylris went a bit too far on his cure. Let’s say he literally reset the kid and “programmed” him into believing they’re his parents.

They slay at parenting, don’t they? ☺️ /jk

Below, the moment Sylris first met him (cw: blood, abuse, death?)

Seth doesn’t remember about it, and he also doesn’t know how was his life before. Sylris has an idea of how it was after searching on it, but chose to not mention it to anyone. It’s like he deleted that child and created a new one: their precious son, Seth.

I was thinking about Hiram's earlier days in the neath, I remember his first Nightmares 8 achievement (Dream's Mirror) but not when he first got to Wounds 8, so I chose to make it the starting point of his Getting A Bit Mad About The State Of Things arc.

Assorted headcanons under the cut, cw for death and murder:

Hiram died for the first time during the fall, he bled out on the streets after a piece of cornice from a building fell on his head. He blacked out before dying and he woke up still a bit dizzy, after a weird dream about drowning in black water.

After failing to find his family's house (the entire street sank), he went to the Hargraves' law firm offices to salvage what he could. Two men were looting the place and he tried to reason with them, but it didn't work. Things devolved into a fight, ill equipped and desperate on Hiram's part, until the looters stabbed him and left him for dead.

The Boatman had the occasion to give him an extensive talk about the nature of death in the neath, and something clicked in Hiram's head as he realised that if dying had no consequence whatsoever there was no point in trying to reason with the looters. Actually there was no point in trying to reason with people in general. What was the worst that could happen? Death? Apparently not.

He knew how to fence for sport and shoot to hunt, so some defence and attack skills were definitely there, but what wasn't there from the start was the hubris that came with the fact that a lot of Socially Acceptable Actions and their Consequences were now completely inconsequential, death included. It was up to him to make things consequential if he cared about them, and he cared very much about the remains of his family's possessions.

He did everything he could to find the two men again, and after a few months of snooping around as a census taker and dealing with smugglers, he finally found out their names and location. He had no intention of reasoning with them this time, or buying his things back. He shot the looters and managed to recover a stack of documents, some daguerreotypes, and a few paintings, including a family portrait.

He never spared a thought for the fact that he had just killed two men because 1) they killed him first and retaliation felt satisfying, 2) he was still mourning his family, 3) death didn't matter anymore and 4) if death didn't matter, then why was his family gone and he wasn't?

Years later, after studying the effects of the Treacheries, the timing between the moment his house collapsed (when London began to sink) and his first death (when London was far enough from the Sun) was still driving him mad.

Ramadan Mubarak! I don't usually post oc here, but since I've been talk about it here, here's the gijinka of my fav ramadan foods! (more yapping about the food under cut^^)

(disclaimer before I start, everything I mentioned as "usual", "traditionally", or "common" below is referring to my experience as indonesian muslim! I should've even be more specific to which region I was just because how much ramadan culture across the country varies, so I can imagine that it would also be vastly different in other parts of the world)

There are two times to eat during ramadan: sahur and iftar. Though I don't draw anything related to sahur since pre-dawn meals just mean earlier regular breakfast, Iftar is a celebration!

image source: kolak // es pisang ijo

It's common to break fast with dessert, something fun and special to treat yourself after a whole day of fasting. For me personally it usually kolak or es pisang ijo*

*(es pisang ijo (green banana ice) dont have a wiki page, it's a traditional dessert from Makassar, is made of banana wrapped in green flour dough, and served with coconut milk, coco-pandan syrup and shaved ice)

***

Eid is a celebration after a month of fasting. People will gather with families, and ask for forgiveness from the past years between each others. With gathering there of course snacks and cookies. Nastar is my favorite, but kastengel also one the most popular.

image source: nastar // kastengel // wajit

It's really quite a pair with nastar being sweet and kastengel being savory. These two are also considered as more modern cookies, being inspired by european pastry during colonisation, just throwing a random fact there.

Now on more traditional side, we have wajit! Sticky rice with coconut wrapped in corn leaves, but the most common one you encounter probably wrapped with paper

---

And the main courses, ketupat is very important during eid, so much it has become an icon of ramadan itself here. It usually eaten with opor ayam, rendang, satay or any other food that have broth or gravy.

image source: ketupat // bakakak hayam

The other food I draw though, is bakakak hayam, not necessarily known as eid food, actually you mostly found them at a wedding. But It's what my aunt always cooks every year when we visit them on eid, so the meaning of it is quite different for me lol

---

And that's all seven I draw^^, there's of course many more, maybe I'll draw them next year. I had so much fun designing these (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
