Spent a few hours drawing the old gods from the old tumblr blog (if you know who I'm referring to you have way too much knowledge) and realizing there was a lot of narrative foil gold in there that I was NOT equipped to realize and act on at that period of my writing.
In other news, might honestly revive the old persona-turned-oc with a new name as a short story because the narrative symbolism of its lore is actually kind of heartbreaking in line with my particular Brand of struggle I was experiencing when I made it. Lonely author kid creates entity born in complete nothingness, abandoned by its creators, reaching out through spans of oppressive nothingness to try its best to make contact with people even though it struggles to connect and understand their ways. Entity that's been created outside of all pre-established worlds that can't possibly find a world where it belongs but it finds the misfits from them and befriends THOSE. entity whose entire struggle is isolation, even when it finds company, because it fears that these new companions will someday leave.
Like. Can you TELL I was a lonely autistic kid with parental issues
#idk man something about the god of nothing meeting the god of everything was sort of gold#essentially somebody dealing with constant overstimulation meeting somebody with constant understimulation#both with immense but opposite struggles#both not fitting in very well to any possible world because they are outside of those places by nature of their creation#and with bfly embracing her role to constantly seek out companions and help mortals#even though she knew they would die someday#even though she understood the temporary nature of all relationships#she overcame that fear of loss every day because she felt that it was worth it to meet and help everyone she could#and she had to face that every. single. time. she chose not to isolate herself! she fought that again and again!#she was ultimately the biggest metaphor for my mental illness struggles#and i never even gave it a sprinkling of a thought#i created the most poignant metaphors for what i was going for and i was like heehee hoohoo sillay void warlock#that shit blows my fucking mind
