ā¤ļøā€šŸ”„ Astrology Observations 3ā¤ļøā€šŸ”„
Tumblr media
šŸ”® the more charts I observe, the more I understand that the houses the planets are placed in are equally important as the zodiac they are placed in. Let me explain. A virgo venus in 8th house will have the qualities of both virgo and scorpio (since scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac). How will it manifest? Your want would be to experience love as a scorpio/understand love as a scorpio (obsessive partner that understands you deeply) but how you go about it would be virgo-nian (not giving in early, paying attention to your partner's finer details like moods, words, actions).
šŸ”® I have kemdrum yoga in my chart. It's not auspicious, lol. This happens when your moon is sitting alone in a house and the adjacent houses are also empty. It is said to make the moon lonely and since moon needs the sun to reflect light (a.k.a, of highly dependent nature), it makes the person lonely. However, to me it doesn't make me "lonely" but rather harder to adjust in a social space for a long time. I literally am the person who runs out of social battery easily. And if I force myself to be social for a long time, it affects my daily routine (moon is in the 6th house which is the house of daily routines, pets, etc.)
šŸ”® a debilitated mars doesn't make you incapable of standing up for yourself. It makes you passive aggressive šŸ˜­. It makes sense why mars debilitates in cancers. Cancers are the kings and queens of passive agression.
šŸ”® when it comes to appearances, I've kind of found astrology inconsistent. Many people use nakshatras to predict "features" but even though I have a shravana on my first house, I feel like I embody vishakha more (my sun nakshatra)? The most accurate depiction I could find is the first house appearance reading. Cap rising makes my stature small but my face has the strongest influence of the three planets in the first house that conjunct my ascendant capricorn: Jupiter (enlarged features), uranus (asymmetrical features) and Neptune (doe eyes). Your rising sign signifies your height and your planets influence your appearance.
šŸ”® I'd always be thankful for my gemini moon for helping me detach from situations and viewing my emotions from a third person perspective. šŸ˜Ŗ
šŸ”® pluto conjunct moon in synastry is all about the pluto person wanting to baby the moon person?
šŸ”® also, men who have lilith conjunct my ascendant are... Ummm... Always tryna be weirdly protective? Like I can come across as scary and bossy to the entire line of men and there will be that one guy who just thinks I need to be "protected" (I love the attention thošŸ¤­)
šŸ”® moon + neptune + rahu (north node) = delulu pro max of the themes of that house. Worse, moon in the area makes you emotionally vulnerable too
šŸ”® money placements according to astrologers that I've heard: 11th house and 2nd house connected in any way (e.g., 11th house lord is Capricorn = Saturn's zodiac and Saturn is sitting in the 2nd house, the if the lords exchange positions, that's even better), moon + mars sitting together (called laxmi yog), exalted moon or moon sitting in the second house, Venus sitting in the second, sixth, eleventh or twelfth house, Jupiter in second or eleventh house, ketu in 5th-rahu in 11th (not good for relationships but good for money), if your seventh lord is sitting in either 2nd or 11th house, it indicates to your spouse coming in with money or you get money when you get married
šŸ”® pluto/scorpio in 7th house or 7th lord in the 8th house/scorpio often points to painful transformations after marriage. If not painful, I've seen people sacrifice their jobs and move for their partners or change job lines or give up their education for their partners.
šŸ”® I know someone who has a very well adjusted chart (exalted sun, moon, jupiter, mars, uranus, venus, ketu) and the ascendant in Aries. The planets are also in the houses they exalt in: Sun in 1st, moon in 2nd, Jupiter in 4th etc. I gotta say, she's easy to be friends with everyone, is successful with whatever venture she's in, is the favourite child of her parents and a very nice person overall. Her only issue is that she sometimes let's other people take advantage of her kindness even when she KNOWS they're hurting her.
šŸ”® Moon in Libra, moon in 7th and 19 degree moons is such an attractive person placement. Adriana lima, ariana grande, Megan Fox, Marilyn Monroe all have these placements.
šŸ”® Mars darkaraka men are toxic imo. Most of these men like toxic women. They seek these women out, feed their toxicity and then act like THEY are the victim in public. Their type is literally "pretty women but toxic". A lot of times these women are "toxic" because these men have painted the women in public like that. šŸ™„

Expanding on that Yog-sothoth ask:
Do you think Herta would abandon trying to get Nous to gaze at her again just to get the Creator to acknowledge her? Maybe she HAS glimpsed the Creator like Charles Randoph Carter glimpsed Yog-sothoth and is trying to reach that point once again?
I love the idea that while Sunday and Argenti are devout followers of the Creator, you might have Herta completely and utterly enthralled by them. That she has finally found something that can keep her entertained and captivated for eternity.
Do you think the others in the Genius Society would grow concerned for her? Like, maybe she for just a moment comprehended the Creators intentions and thoughts, and can no longer see anything the same (as is the way with madness).
And what if the Creator could potentially have Emanators *if* they manage to draw the Creators attention? Maybe Herta has become their very first Emanator in this AU?
And what about the Aeons themselves? What if they had a higher understanding of what exactly the Creator was, what the Creator was protecting the material world from?
I also just really like poking fun at Amphoreus with these kinds of things. Like yeah you have these sick ass Titans and a mysterious disaster creeping across the lands, that's pretty cool... let's introduce something far beyond your comprehension and let you stew in the fact your struggles are literally an ember compared to the catastrophes that have happened and are happening elsewhere in the universe xD
Oh, this is the kind of cosmic horror spiral I love to see.
Tumblr media
Herta absolutely seems like the kind of person who would abandon Nous in an instant if she caught even the faintest glimpse of the Creator. Nous? Predictable. The Creator? Limitless, unknowable, all-encompassing. Thatā€™s an entirely different level of intrigue.
I love the idea that sheā€™s had a fleeting moment of true understanding, a brush with something so vast and incomprehensible that it shattered her perception of reality. Maybe she glimpsed them in a dream, or maybe she pushed her research too far and stumbled upon something she shouldnā€™t have. And now? Nothing else matters. Sheā€™s spent eons bored with everything around her, but now sheā€™s found something that truly, truly captivates her. She needs to reach that moment again, no matter what it takes.
Tumblr media
Oh, the others in the Genius Society would definitely be worried. Hertaā€™s always been detached, but this is something else. Maybe Screwllum, with all his calculations, realizes that her behavior is following patterns eerily similar to documented cases of those who have gazed into the abyss and lost themselves. Maybe Ruan Mei is concerned that her mind is unraveling in ways even she canā€™t predict. And then thereā€™s Herta herself, completely unbothered, utterly enrapturedā€”because in her eyes, she hasnā€™t lost anything. Sheā€™s gained something that no one else can comprehend.
Hell, what if even Nous is concerned? The Aeon of Erudition prides itself on knowledge, but even it must recognize that some things arenā€™t meant to be understood. If Nous itself refuses to acknowledge the Creatorā€™s existence, yet Herta has seen themā€”what does that say about her?
Tumblr media
The idea of the Creator having Emanators in this AU is so good. Unlike the Aeons, who choose and shape their Emanators, the Creator doesnā€™t actively grant anything. Their presence alone is enough to change those who become attuned to them. Maybe itā€™s not a conscious decisionā€”perhaps Emanators arise naturally, by sheer virtue of comprehending even a fraction of the Creatorā€™s thoughts.
If Herta is the first, it would be fascinating to explore what that means. Does she gain new abilities? Does she become something more? Maybe she starts speaking in ways that warp reality around her. Maybe her very existence starts bending the minds of those who interact with her. Maybe even she doesnā€™t fully understand what sheā€™s becoming, but sheā€™s embracing it because this is so much more interesting than anything else sheā€™s ever done.
Tumblr media
Oh, absolutely, the Aeons know something. Maybe thatā€™s why they donā€™t interfere with the Creator. Maybe thatā€™s why some of them are so obsessed with their own paths, because they understand that in the grand scheme of things, the Paths are the only thing keeping them from falling into total insignificance.
Maybe IX is the only one that truly understands the Creatorā€™s nature, and thatā€™s why it remains silent. Maybe Nanook has seen too much, and thatā€™s why it seeks destructionā€”because it knows that, ultimately, the universe is just entropy waiting to be acknowledged. Maybe the reason Nous wonā€™t look at Herta isnā€™t disinterest, but fearā€”fear that she has gone beyond Erudition into something it cannot comprehend.
Tumblr media
Amphoreus, thinking itā€™s the center of its own cosmic drama, only to be faced with the sheer scope of the universe and realizing itā€™s just another minor tragedy in a sea of countless others?? Thatā€™s hilarious and tragic at the same time.
Imagine their reaction when the Trailblazer or Dan Heng just casually drops, "Oh yeah, there are things way worse than your Titans. Your world isnā€™t even close to the worst the universe has seen."
And the Heirs? Losing their minds trying to rationalize this, trying to cope with the knowledge that all their struggles are a footnote at best. That even the greatest calamity theyā€™ve ever faced is just one of an infinite number of stories unfolding at this very moment.
Tumblr media
This AU has insane potential. Horror, existential dread, philosophical debates, and just the right amount of humor at the sheer absurdity of it all.

QUACHIL UTTAUS HEADCANONS
First time ever drawing quachill, she's actually a lot of easier to draw than I thought which is probably what kept me from drawing her in the first place
I think it'd be really stinkin cute if Quachill had more bat parts to her
To reference yog, cuz technically she's a biblically accurate angel which references her mom Ishtar is a goddess, and she wears jewellery similar to her mom's
So it'd be neat if she had some goofy bat features
Tumblr media
She has bat legs and smol bat wings she's silly
While I don't think Yog has bat legs because he's a vampire
I like to think when quachil was being born genetics got freaky, because Ishtar goddess of the pests and creatures and Yog is a Vampire with a bat form
So quachill came out lookin like a creature
Ishtar told Yog to get freaky with her in bat form trust šŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļø/j
So the vampire genes came out funny on quachill she has bat legs, wings, and long stringy fingers to match her batty toes
Yeah I made the hems of her skirt and ends sleeves look like bat wings too
She's a lovely kid
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Lamprey ahh, she only opens her mouth to eat, people? Maybe probably yeah they eat people
She can talk telepathically without opening her mouth tho, it sounds echoey and grand to humans
But to the astrals she just has a regular kid tone, still says whatever too fr
Head canons: she likes cheezits, and she wrecks misfortune and disaster on earth, she's a thrones angel and angel of misfortunes
She acts all high and mighty around humans and tries to speak fancy (since astrals see humans as lesser, yes they all act high and mighty around humans and then just become goofy as hell when among themselves
except dagda he's like the cheshire cat, and abdicus doesn't speak with people much but if he does he goes into a psychotic ramble but otherwise he's basically a feral human
Also yeah he's also human but he matches the astral freak so no one touches him šŸ’€ except zoth yk yk)
But really to the astrals she's just a little guy
Yog doesn't exactly support it, but he looks Sus and sissy when teaching quachil this so he doesn't exactly bother
I like to think the astrals are all ridiculously powerful to different levels and quachil being an angel she has big potential
Like my friends and I had a head canon that quachil plays with meteors šŸ’€
She's the reason why meteor showers happen guys

Lyf's metamorphosis
This is an unstructured rant!! TW for lots of gore and unpleasant imagery
I think Lyf goes through a metamorphosis. While he survives the Bifrost and escapes the Yggdrasil system, he's hardly unscathed. Seeing the effects of the great old ones and directly staring into the eyes of Yog-Sothoth changes him in a way I think about often. I think he very much could've died, though due to the nature of his survival and the fact he is now rapidly travelling through the cosmos, with the knowledge of the great old ones, they keep him alive. He's insistently their unknowing vessel, subconsciously spreading their powers further and further into the galaxy. Anyway onto his metamorphosis. It starts off small. Mild headaches and aches of the body as his cells and skin struggle to compute with the sudden environment shift that happened on Midgard. Pains that only grow. I like to think being around him gives people headaches too. A sort of unexplainable crawl of the skin, an itch that doesn't go away. Taking inspiration from the Dunwich horror I like to imagine animals start to resent him, dogs growing aggressive in fear, rats and other urban animals fleeing weeks before he arrives. People start to associate him with the dread inducing call of a Whippoorwill.
Tumblr media
After he leaves people tend to feel ill, falling sick, feeling like their insides are melting. Depending on how long they were around him it ranges from a mild headache to multiple organs shutting off as the aroma of his presence melts the body from the inside out. No matter what Lyf does he cannot stop what he causes, instead opting to keep travelling, only continuing the great old one's plan. Now on to his body. The headaches are constant, though sometimes they're weaker than other days, allowing him to think. Other days they're so bad he fears his brain will explode. Cracks start to form, his skin rotting and starting to fall off. Bald patches in his hair grow as the skin grows weaker. There's an unbearable itch beneath his skin that he's never able to get rid of no matter how hard he scratches. His bones ache, body sweats with thickening pale mucus, obviously he's sick, throwing up rather a lot. His sick is black and has the residue of oil, staining whatever surface it touches. Perhaps by occasion, eyes glance back, hidden in the inky black mucus.
Tumblr media
Additionally taking inspiration from Wilbur Whatley, he gets the whole tendrils in the stomach thing. I like to think he binds them to still appear somewhat normal.
Tumblr media
Whenever he gets cut or hurt by any nature it's healed. Despite his body rapidly trying to die he cannot, the old ones will not let him. The rotting is a reflection of his body unable to keep up with his mind. If he were to get a deep cut black tendrils would morph out of his skin, wrapping it air tight. Over the next few days it'll remain, slowly melting away his skin, bones, veins as it rebuilds whatever is hurt back from square one. If someone were to somehow get it away from his skin then they'd be met with a strong acid and a significant lack of skin underneath.
Tumblr media
Anyway I wanna slowly explain all my Lyf lore because theres alot!! I think I'll just do unstructured rant posts like this, doubt anyone will care much but if anything it's useful to have all my information together :)!!!

THE PAST MAX CONSPIRACY: OR, HOW PAST MAX IS THE REAL VILLAIN OF THE DEVIL'S PLAYHOUSE
THE THEORY:
The Eyes of Yog-Saggoth, the first toy Max obtains, is not native to the timeline we see in game- it's native to the alternate timeline Past Max comes from. Past Max placed that toy into the alley on purpose so that he could ensure Max would unlock the Gift, not Sam. This was so that a) Sam would never unlock the Gift and therefore never turn into a monster, and b) Max would be the one who dies, giving Past Max the perfect opportunity to appear when Sam would be at his lowest and slide neatly into Max's place. The real puppetmaster of TDPH is Past Max, who orchestrated Max's death so that he could replace him and once again get to be with Sam.
THE EVIDENCE:
In the original "good" timeline we see at the beginning of 301, we do not have the Eyes and neither does Skunkape seem to, considering he is caught completely off guard by your plan. Timelines in this game are open to manipulation, but do not seem to change on their own; such as how Skunkape only starts winning when he actively attempts to change the future or when you save Flint Paper by first witnessing his death and then giving him a hard hat. Therefore, the fact that the Eyes of Yog-Saggoth are in the alley at all must be some sort of change made to the timeline- but by who?
Thanks to the new Nutrispecs puzzle, we know that Past Max was actually in the timeline long before we actually see him appear in 305. This raises the question: why didn't he ever try and help us? We know that alt!305 went somewhat similarly to prime 305 considering the photographs, so why did Past Max never try and warn Sam about the fact that his little buddy was going to explode in a week, even when he could be reasonably sure that this would happen? Simple: He didn't want to, because he was counting on Max biting it all along. This also makes the end of the game feel a lot more devious in retrospect, with Past Max acting like he just so happened to run into Sam when really he's probably been watching us the whole time. He knew we would find the keypad, after all.
Speaking of the keypad, even when Past Max has the opportunity to warn us about what's to come, he doesn't. Interestingly enough, the note in the keypad is also only addressed to Sam- "These cracked you up."
The fact that Past Max is the one to point us towards where the Nutrispecs are hiding seems to imply that the Nutrispecs are from his timeline, not ours. Since he likely brought at least one toy with him when he arrived in the main timeline, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he might have brought more with him. The Eyes of Yog-Saggoth, which we know weren't supposed to be there, may very well have been brought into the timeline by Past Max.
The song that plays when you look at the keypad is strangely ominous and melancholic. Not really a piece of evidence, but interesting nonetheless.
THE CONCLUSION:
We're never going to get a clear answer for this anyway, so I will choose to believe this until Skunkape Games personally sends me a formal rebuke and a letter of excommunication.

Murder Drones Godhood AU link hub
The concept Some 1500 years after Copper 9 was saved, worker drones have inherited the planet. The story of how the planet was saved from absolute destruction has been passed down from generation to generation. As their story was retold, the heroes of that day became deified and are now worshiped as the saviors of worker drone kind. Of course, after 100's of years of rumors and telephone, some details of their stories have been embellished Luckily, thanks to the healing properties of the Absolute Solver, those three drones are still alive after all this time! And they're more than happy to share what really happened all those centuries ago
---------------------------------------------
Currently, this AU mostly consists of world building what Copper 9 and its society would look like with living gods and a few hundred years of progress
--------------------------------------------- Concept art N --------------------------------------------- Assorted Ramblings The drones are old, and J runs a cult Knitting and dingo chess What would you do with 1500 years to kill? Longevity and holy quests Yog sothoth paintings Who's still alive anyway? Old Khan sleep walks Does god have to pay taxes? The devil is god's tail Copper 9 demon Christmas Advice from a ghost Name trends and J's many arrests Botanical zoos and terrformation Centenial crusades Tripeak spire Drone Vegas and dingoes Name game --------------------------------------------- MD godhood au tag

*Ascends from hell with more headcanons*
-Zoth has Kool Aid in his apartment...WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T DRINK THE KOOL AID IT'S BEEN DRUGED AND YOU'LL PROBABLY WAKE UP IN ZOTH'S BED-
-The Astral Circle residents have human forms, the kicker? Their human forms look like their respective arcade variant with a few changes. The result: Xezbet getting Roman's leg to his nads because he thought he was a doppel.
-Yan and Afton's friendship started by Afton accidently summoning the princess of death herself. Yan decided to show some mercy to Afton by asking for a last request. Afton asked what would happen if they teleported bread. Then came Yan's "He's just like me fr" moment.
-Yog has a lisp. "Yes" for him becomes "Yesh"
-Teutates is currently on a beach in Honolulu until I think of more headcanons for him. That's my excuse for not drawing him.
-Exael and Dagda are the resident punching bags
-Robertsky is a weirdness magnet
-When the doppels started rolling in, Roman saw it as a double-edge sword. On the plus side: Free crowd control (He hates people). On the down side: He stuck in LA surrounded by dumbasses.
-God does not exist in the TNMN universe...Because Alf killed him and got his nightmare counterpart to help him stuff God under the floorboards of the astral circle
-The apartment's name is "Mockabel Apartments" is it takes place in GLORIOUS L.A. But other than the obvious problems, Mockabel is a fine place...Okay I lied to you: Some residents are more than happy to deal with the doppels while the D.D.D just sits there, the laws of reality are on their lunch break, almost everyone there either has a problem or is the problem and Henry puked in the corner from anxiety before the new doorman and/or doorwoman were forced into the role of unwilling human meat shields...BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S PEACHY KEEN /j
Tumblr media
SAY NO MORE <3
NO GOD IS GONNA GET IN BETWEEN ME AND THE WORM ("you couldn't waterboard this out of me" silence)
Shout out to Alf killing god, he'll be his own lawyer when he dies ToT

Roman would absolutely LOVE Tool and SOAD with his hatred for LA (I could've added Mesmerize by SOAD too but Toxicity came to me first)

WTF is happening?!
Wait! "The Dreamlands is a lawless waste without him." Is Yellow actually rest of the King? Is that why it was killing Larson or is Larson just a weak little bitch compared to Arthur? Kayne did say that anyone else would have popped from that much power. But more importantly, how can Kayne do this?! And why for that matter?
No! I liked the Butcher! WTF Kayne?!
Hold on, I gotta google something... Nyarlathotep? Okay, what does the wiki say?
Tumblr media
Ah... okay, so that definitely fits better than my theory of Yog-Sothoth, though it's less funny than the thought of a dad fucking over his son for absolutely no reason.
Why does this man care so much about Arthur?!
Wait, fuck, I guess this post is just a live blog now but dude, so much is happening! Yellow and Larson were sent to the Dreamlands, the Butcher is dead, the Detective might be in Spain, and now Kayne wants to have a chat?! I'm smiling this too much, this is the most fun I've ever had with an audio drama, this is ridiculous!
"I have such wonders to show you." I've seen that line in fanart before and it's ominous as hell.
I don't know if I've properly sang this series praise enough but this podcast is wild and I love it!

Sitting silently, just start watching your breath.
The easiest way to watch is from the entrance of the nose.
When the breath comes in,
feel the touch of the breath at the entrance of the nose
- watch it there.
The touch will be easier to watch, breath will be too subtle;
in the beginning just watch the touch.
The breath goes in, and you feel it going in: watch it.
And then follow it, go with it.
You will find there comes a point where it stops.
Just somewhere near your navel it stops
- for a tiny tiny moment, for a pal, it stops.
Then it moves outwards again; then follow it - again feel the touch, the breath going out of the nose.
Follow it, go with it outside - again you will come to a point,
the breath stops for a very tiny moment.
Then again the cycle starts.
Inhalation, gap, exhalation, gap, inhalation, gap.
That gap is the most mysterious phenomenon inside you.
When the breath comes in and stops and there is no movement, that is the point where one can meet God.
Or when the breath goes out and stops and there is no movement.
Remember,
you are not to stop it; it stops on its own.
If you stop it you will miss the whole point, because the doer will come in and witnessing will disappear.
You are not to do anything about it.
You are not to change the breath pattern, you are neither to inhale nor to exhale.
It is not like Pranayam of yoga, where you start manipulating the breath; it is not that.
You don't touch the breath at all - you allow its naturalness, its natural flow.
When it goes out you follow it, when it comes in you follow it.
And soon you will become aware that there are two gaps.
In those two gaps is the door.
And in those two gaps you will understand, you will see,
that breath itself is not life -
In those two gaps is the door.
And in those two gaps you will understand, you will see,
that breath itself is not life -
maybe a food for life, just like other foods, but not life itself.
Because when the breathing stops you are there,
perfectly there - you are perfectly conscious, utterly conscious.
And the breath has stopped, breathing is no more there, and you are there.
And once you continue this watching of the breath - what Buddha calls Vipassana or Anapanasati Yog - if you go on watching it, watching it, watching.
And once you continue this watching of the breath -
what Buddha calls Vipassana or
Anapanasati Yog -
if you go on watching it, watching it, watching it, slowly slowly you will see the gap is
increasing and becoming bigger.
Finally it happens that for minutes together the gap remains.
One breath goes in, and the gap... and for minutes the breath does not go out.
All has stopped.
The world has stopped, time has stopped, thinking has stopped.
Because when the breath stops, thinking is not possible.
And when the breath stops, for minutes together, thinking is absolutely impossible -
because the thought process needs continuous oxygen,
and your thought process
and your breathing are very deeply related.
When you are angry your breath has a different rhythm,
when you are sexually stimulated you have a different breath rhythm, when you are silent a different breath rhythm again.
When you are happy a different breath rhythm,
when you are sad a different rhythm again.
Your breathing goes on changing with the moods of the mind.
And vice versa is also true - when the breath changes,
the moods of the mind change.
And when breath stops, mind stops.
In that stopping of the mind the whole world stops - because the mind is the world.
And in that stopping you come to know for the first time
what is the breath inside the breath; life inside life.
That experience is liberating.
That experience makes you alert of God - and God is not a person but the experience of life itself.
Osho

Everyoneā€™s been making a theory if Nacha and Francis were divorced or Nacha cheated on her husband by having a fling with Francis once. But what about Anastacha? How does she feel about this? Since she only lives with her mother, does she know her parents are divorced? Does she know Francis is her dad? Maybe Nacha kept her history with Francis a secret from her? I think Anastacha knew she didnā€™t have a regular family like the kids in her other school. Thatā€™s why she keeps to herself and has an indifferent attitude all the time. Maybe sheā€™s been teased for being an affair baby and for not having a father? That mightā€™ve started a rebellious streak in her.
Ps your redesign of Yog looks cute. He def looks like a real vampire šŸ–¤
I'm pretty sure if their backstory is ever revealed, its that they're divorced, but personally for me I like the second option better (in my headcanon, Nacha slept with Francis because her own husband was a cheater and then ran away after she had Anastacha). But from what I've seen most people agree with the divorced route.
Anyways, on to our favorite moody preteen girl- if we go with the divorced route, depending on when Francis and Nacha got divorced, I think she'd know if its happened recently. By no means do I know what a kid from a divorced couple would feel like, but it def would upset her seeing her parents split up and living separately from them. Her living with Nacha implies she prefers her mom, which makes me very curious about her relationship with her dad. Is it good? Is it bad? Distant? (I do find it interesting that, if divorce canon, Francis is still living in the same apartment as his ex-wife. Is it to still take care of Anastacha or is it cuz theres not much option? Hm)
IF we go with the second option where its a fling, I think Anastacha must have had a very difficult time growing up. People are assholes, and a single mom raising her daughter with no husband in sight would def make people talk and say shit. I think Anastacha must have had a lot of resentment growing up knowing that people think so low of her and her mom. I imagine her also resenting whoever the heck her dad is for not staying and slightly resent Nacha for never telling her who he is, but she loves her mom too much to really be mad at her.
And yes you're spot on Anon- I definitely think Anastacha was teased a lot by other kids for her lack of a dad, which is why she keeps to herself and doesn't have a lot of friends. She closes herself off from other people and prefer to be alone and teased. Definitely had been in some fights too.
Continuing the second option of an affair- I imagine that, if Nacha and Francis met some time after Anastacha grew up, Nacha would come clean about the affair and how Francis is Anastacha's dad which would come as a huge shock for everyone. Its not an easy situation to deal with, but I think eventually things work out. After the reveal I feel like Francis would be more involved with their lives and tries to help in raising his secret daughter. Anastacha doesn't immediately consider Francis as her dad and keeps a barrier between her and Francis, which is fine and no ones forcing her. But I think they'd be comfortable which each other even if its not a 'normal' family.
(Nacha doesn't immediately confess obviously, but she and Francis clearly still remember each other and Francis and Anastacha share some obvious similarities and yeah its not hard to put two and two together)
(off topic but I imagine other kids in her school make a lot of jokes about Anastacha being 'the milkman's daughter' and Ana's like '(looks at Francis) this guy? yeah right as if my mom would go for him ever' and then whoops reveal)
(also another off topic is that Anastacha likes the neighbors in the apartment unlike the other neighbors in her old home she grew up in. No one judges her or her mom about their 'unusual' family and treats them nicely and thats a massive improvement)
Thank you so much!! I really like his redesign too haha need to draw more MetalBat.

Note
My bestie and I were hanging out today and I brought up the idea of fankids specifically for the Nightmare Mode characters and. We have some fun ones and I wanted to share. I would also like to note the only ship listed here I don't actually support is the first one
Abducius + Zoth + Yog: E. Bola, the Bloodletter (14/15, they/he) A very tall plague doctor looking guy who's "beak" does in fact open like a beak, and is full of razor blades. Their nails are also as sharp as razor blades, and they have like. A whole bunch of arms hidden under their cloak. They can drop and move like a centipede if they wish. They are very loud and annoying, finding everything to be a joke. They literally live in the walls. They mostly avoid their fathers as Yog doesn't seem to actually care about them, Zoth is rarely home, and Abducius is a little to eager to punish him. Very jumpy. Literally the worst instigator ever. Is very protective of the other kids (including Quachil).
Bryn Mawr* + Teutates: M11257403LY a.k.a. Molly (13, they/it) the Weapon. Molly outwardly looks like a bomb. They are made of grey steel and have no facial features except glass eyes that look welded on, and behind them the colour of their eyes shift in a warm colour spectrum. They wear a black military uniform with no medals, dog tags with the nuclear waste symbol painted on them in yellow, and a red beret. Molly is capable of flipping inside out, exposing all around it to radiation and risking an explosion, but that only happens under dire circumstances as it can only explode once. It rarely shows emotion other than extreme anger. It has a very strong bond to its parents and often goes out to help them. It has a robotic voice with no emotion behind it, and speaks like a soldier. It is also very susceptible to manipulation. This becomes important because Yan Luo Wang Diyu realizes they are a weapon and wishes to train it. It scares the other kids, but it isn't bad.
Shub + Ishtar + Lilith: Buggaboo (5, she/her) the Crop Carver. Buggy looks like a giant bug, specifically a cicada. She has big eyes, wings that are almost too big and antennae, as well as demon horns that stick straight up and red runes all over her body. She wears a little yellow and white sundress. Buggy is five. She is happy to do literally everything. She loves to "draw pictures" on farmer's fields and play hide and seek, even if she's bad at it because she gets very loud when she's happy. She's never seen without one of her mamas with her, they take very good care of her. Sweetums. She also is usually seen with E. Bola as he has claimed her as sibling no. 2.
Xezbet + Drugia: Amygdala, or Amy (17, she/her) the Trapper. Amy is a ghost with shackles around her neck and wrists, who is surrounded by floating hands. She wears a long, tattered white dress and glows blue. Instead of a face she has a black void, and she has flowing white hair. She helps her mother and father by creating labyrinths in people's dreams (with her mother's help) to trap them so her father can take their souls. She herself takes pride in her work, and she loves designing her traps to suit whichever poor soul she's tormenting. She's cordial to her neighbors and isn't all the agressive towards them.
Dagda + Izanami: Gl'bgolyb or Gloppy. (18/19, he/him) the Impersonator. Gloppy appears to be a wooden puppet body at first, being held up by something behind it. Its face is worn and scratched, almost unrecognizable as a face. The rest of its body is equally weathered and worn, splintering in off places and moving jerkily. Gloppy himself is actually a flesh creature behind the puppet, a mass of skin and eyes and mouths and ears and anything you can think of. Gloppy is a very jealous person, wanting to be seen as the most disturbing thing here but losing to Molly. Despite this he is the next reasonable of the kids next to Amy. He mostly just acts as a lure.
Chaugnar + Nyogtha: Mal (28, she/her) the Slaughterer. Mal wears a lamb mask with blacked out eyes and a simple red robe. Her hair can be seen, it's sort of fluffed out behind her head. She often visits her parents and helps out with rituals as she carries out sacrifices (she also works with Zoth). She usually babysits the younger kids, or teaches them how rituals work and how they are meant to be done. She's actually a very pleasant person!
Also important to note. Mal and Buggaboo have real world counterparts (Malinda Schmidt, and Sheila Bubbles (Margarette adopted her from one of her friends who couldn't take care of her), but no one else does. Amy and Gloppy may be based off of Roman and Lois' and Alf and Rafttellyn's kids but. Yeah. E. Bola and Molly both have absolutely no basis in reality and only exist in the nightmare.
*Here Bryn Mawr is Francis 2's nightmare form. Bryn Mawr is a spirit from Welsh folklore who goes from house to house during Yule, asking to be let in. If you let her in she'll eat for food and join your celebration, and if you refuse to let her in she curses you. So I feel it fits. Bryn has a pleasant looking face, quite cute actually, but wears a muzzle. He also wears torn clothes that show mouths all over his body, and he has claws and a cat tail. He is usually used as a hunting dog for whoever needs one.
Oh my god these are so fucking sick-
I want to doodle them heheheh >:)

Eldritch Kenny Fanfiction Backstory
So I'm working on my fanfic, "The Perks of Being an Eldritch Abomination", a fic where Kenny gains more visibly inhuman traits as he gets older due to his connection with Cthulhu a la "The Shadow Over Innsmouth." And even though it's not going to be important to the story at all, I came up with a whole backstory about why Kenny is the way he is. (Though a lot of this could also work in canon too.) So much so that I may have to write a whole new fanfiction for the new story this inspires. Alright, here goes.
Since in canon Kennyā€™s parents went to the cult meeting for the promise of free beer and thus canā€™t remember anything on account of being wasted, in my story the beer was a lure to get an outsider to come to the meeting. The cult slipped something in their drinks to knock them out and preformed a ritual on Kennyā€™s mom to impregnate her with the son of their god. Kenny was the result. She just assumed that Stuart was the father because he was the only person she was with at the time. So Kenny is in fact half human half elder god, that's where his immortality comes from, as well as the other changes exclusive to my fanfiction. The ritual didnā€™t affect his personality though, so he stays good throughout.
Though the main inspiration for my story was "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" I also took inspiration from another H.P. Lovecraft story "The Dunwich Horror", which is about a poor family in a small, rural town where a woman gives birth to a boy who's the son of Yog-Sothoth, another elder god. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? (Honestly I might have taken more from this story than from "Shadow") Especially the part about how Wilbur (the boy) has a tendency to keep himself bundled up in layers to hide his otherworldly appearance. (Though he does keep his face exposed.) Since, canonically, we know Kenny has some sort of connection to Cthulhu because of the immortality, and he also has a tendency to stay bundled up, it was too big a connection to ignore. One aspect of the story of "The Dunwich Horror" is that Wilbur is trying to open the gate between our reality and the reality of the elder gods and summon the Elder Gods over here. So, that's also the cult's objective with Kenny, and why they did all this in the first place. Of course, like "Shadow Over Innsmouth", the main difference between Kenny and Wilbur is morality and intent. While Wilbur is totally ok with the plan to open the gates, Kenny absolutely would not be, and would try his best to stop it. I also thought it would be cool if it was a cyclical thing. Since the Elder Gods are explicitly real in the South Park universe I like to think that both of those stories actually happened in-universe, with H.P. Lovecraft being a nonfiction author. Thus, the cult attempted to open the gate in the 1920's 100 years ago with Wilbur, now they're trying again with Kenny.
(Also a fun fact I learned while writing the fic, the sea captain who makes first contact with The Deep Ones? His name is Captain Obed Marsh. That's why I had Stan be the one to confront Kenny first, to add one more parallel.)

The God of the Bible is a Lovecraftian Horror
Disclaimer - This is not meant to offend anybody. If you are offended by the idea of this, just scroll past and donā€™t read it. This was just for fun, and a bunch of observations I have made. This isn't even meant to be taken seriously and is in no way an attack against any religions, Christian or otherwise. People are allowed to interpret Mythology however they want - no Mythology is above this, so I can take Abrahamic mythology and interpret it however I want to. Thank you.
If you arenā€™t easily offended and want to read something fun, keep reading!
I have come to the conclusion that the God of the Christian Bible is a Lovecraftian Eldritch horror. Here is the proof.
1 - His real name is never mentioned. Yahweh, Jahova, Elohim ā€¦ these all mean ā€œLordā€ or ā€œKingā€ or ā€œGodā€ and are actually just a title. His real name is said to be unknowable, and that no man may utter it. Many of the Lovecraftian names are not really the name of the creatures mentioned, but rather a translation or title. Even the name people commonly know him by, God, is just a title. It simply describes what he is to the people who follow him.
2 - To look upon the face of God was said to cause blindness, death, or possibly insanity. He is said to be incomprehensible and unknowable. Look at what happened to those who touched the Ark of the Covenant, and what happened to them.
3 - People who had close contact with him went crazy. Ever read Revelations with all the crazy creatures and monsters described? It isn't just revelations either, crazy stuff happened surrounding this entity all throughout his book.
4 - There are incredibly loyal followers who continue to believe despite everything that seems to go against logic and reason. They have engaged in animal sacrifice. There is even a major story in their book about a human sacrifice that is at the core of their entire belief system. There was also a story about a man who was willing to sacrifice his own son on a single command. They built great and ancient monuments to him. Some could, arguably, call many of these followers a cult, has been one of the most dangerous and influential groups throughout history, and was part of what brought about the Dark Ages.
5 - There are tales of destruction and horror - about the End Days when he would come back with terrible wrath, and his followers hope for it to happen and even preach on the streets to spread this dark news.
6 - A quote from the bible says that ā€œI thousand years is but a day to the Lordā€, showing just how far removed from anything human this entity is.
7 - The Bible mentions how the Sons of God and the Sons of Men interbredā€¦ to create Nephilim. They were described as mighty giantsā€¦ That sure sounds a lot like the Human/Great Old One hybrids from the Dunwich Horror, or the Deep Ones connected to Dagon.
8 - Jesus, who was said to be his son, had strange powers, survived Crucifixion, and vanished, said to haveā€Ascended into Heavenā€ - if no body was found, wouldnā€™t it make sense that he faded away to nothing like Wilbur Whatley did after his death? That adds to the idea that ā€œJesusā€ was a hybrid between a human and a Great Old One.
9 - Further on the subject of Jesus, he was said to be his son - but the Angels were also called the Sons of God - does this mean they were the Spawn of a Great Old One? Sure seems like it to me. Their behavior also lines up with this, in how they exist to serve their master and do his bidding.
10 - The Angels were described with inhuman and twisted features - such as one that was literally wheels covered in eyes and wings. Just like creatures spawning from Lovecraftian Horrors.
11 - He draws many parallels to Yog-Sothoth.
This passage about Yog-Sothoth:
ā€œYog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earthā€™s fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.ā€
and
ā€œIt was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and selfā€”not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existenceā€™s whole unbounded sweepā€”the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike. It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names; that which the crustaceans of Yoggoth worship as the Beyond-One, and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebula know by an untranslatable Signā€¦ā€
And verses describing God from his book:
Revelation 22:13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.ā€œ
Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega,ā€ says the Lord God, ā€œwho is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.ā€
God and Yog-Sothoth both come from Arabic origin, so the lore matches up as well.
Yog-Sothoth AND God both impregnated a human woman in their texts.
Yog-Sothoth siring twins, and Mary having a single child.
12 - His followers have their own book like the Necronomicon. It is called the Bibleā€¦ which translates to simply ā€œThe Bookā€. Like the Necronomicon, the Book is full of dangerous creatures, horrors beyond time, instructions for rituals and laws, and terrible dark tales that would make the sanest man cringe
If you have anything to add, feel free to! Again, no offense or harm is meant. I am not religious, but I have nothing against folks who are as long as they aren't hurting anybody.
