#freefall: bedevil

[hee-blee-art]

a little freefallverse update!

this is mostly a semantic thing—I just wanted to put this here for clarity, should anyone be interested. below are the names of all the story threads and their descriptions / main characters / associated tags for freefall:

bedevil - the world’s most renowned exorcist, a young priest with special abilities and shaky faith at best, works to fight demons with the help of a scandalously unusual business partner, and seems to have caught the attention of the devil. / father elias leon, kethmannoth, maria bentley [bedevil tag link]

devotional - a newly fallen angel, cast of out heaven for the sin of pride after seeing something he shouldn’t have, is hopelessly lost in the mortal world, torn between indulging in earthly hedonism with a fellow fallen angel turned demon and trying desperately to earn back his wings by helping a depressed former movie star find some meaning in life. / valoel, malnoch, adrian hunt [devotional tag link]

citadel - all her life, a young woman’s only home has been a secluded and sheltered fortress run by the order of the morningstar citadel, a group of satanic nuns charged by lucifer with the task of tending to gifted half-human half-demon children, only ever dreaming of the wider world—but when rumours of war bring chaos to the citadel, she will have to take fate by the horns. / pandora, seth, madam begonia [citadel tag link]

freefall - the forces of heaven and hell have been competing on earth for millennia, locked in a stalemate when it comes to humanity, but the stars are aligning for lucifer to make a very big move. in a brewing war between angels and demons for the eternal throne, some unlikely and unwilling figures will be pushed to the front lines and become the hinges of the apocalypse. / the demon princes, the archangels [freefallverse tag link]

(note: the tags are sometimes unreliable and leave some posts out; sometimes searching keywords in the searchbar as opposed to using tags gives more results but apologies in advance for any difficulties with the tags)

my current plan is to keep working on bedevil comic wips and developing the other threads textually (some of which I may share somewhere online, if there's interest) with some related art here and there. the freefallverse will be somewhat multimedia, and perhaps some day I will be able to collaborate with others to add to it!

for now, as always, questions about the stories & characters are always welcome :)

comic version of a lucifer animatic

[image ID: a five panel digital comic featuring lucifer, a thin demon in human form with light skin, ginger hair, a crown, and a peach coloured robe; and an angel with brown skin, curly dark hair, and dark feathered wings in armour. panel one: she stands in front of the angel, who is collapsed on the ground, half-seated. text: "because I do believe in killing the messenger." panel two: lucifer looks over her shoulder with a smile. text: "do you know why?" panel three: the angel looks in awe and fear at a glowing three-bladed sword. text: "because it sends a message." panel four: the word "slash" written in tall letters with white slashes through it. panel five: lucifer crouches and holds the angel's face in one hand as she plunges the sword into their chest. the angel looks shocked, light spilling from their eyes and glowing blood pouring from their nose, mouth, and wound, and their halo breaking. end ID]

the local priest is totally normal human guy and definitely not a giant spider<3

[image ID: three drawings of father wolf, a young thin muscular priest with pale skin and a shaved head, always with at least one spider on him. the first shows him sitting in a confessional booth saying, "back to confess again so soon? hmhm, my, someone's been busy. go on, then. bare your soul for me." in the second, he is standing intimidatingly in front of a blank grey character and saying "are you familiar with little red riding hood?" the third shows him in a tank top and holding a bloody rag with a bleeding nose, with the following exchange with an out-of-frame character: out-of-frame: "father, I wanted- whoa, are you okay?" wolf: "perfectly. just a little blood, nothing to worry about." o: "are you sure? if this is a bad time-" w: "[interrupting] not at all. come in. close the door behind you." end ID]

[scarier art below the cut / cw: blood, body horror, spiders]

[image ID: five drawings of father wolf transforming from his human form into his spider demon form. in the first, two greyish chelicerae and fangs are emerging from his mouth as blood and small spiders pour down his chin. in the second, a progression of a spider-like head emerging from his mouth is shown. in the third, his human head is completely replaced with a spider head, and he had eight big spider-like limbs coming from his back as he crawls towards the viewer, hands bloody. in the fourth, he is grabbing the blank grey character by their shirt and holding them with his spider limbs as he opens his inner mouth wide to bare his large inner fangs. in the fifth, he stands before the blank character, who is restrained with webs to a wall, lifting their chin and almost smiling with his inner mouth as he says, "don't worry, you'll be with your god soon enough." end ID.]

father eli & keth (possessing father eli), everyone

[hee-blee-art]

I'm not even into priests and you managed to make every single one of those guys incredibly hot and desirable and incredibly difficult to choose between

lol I'm glad people find them interesting. what good is a priest if he's not hot and strange and also irrevocably broken in a way that is mysteriously alluring?

[hee-blee-art]

who is the coworker eli is in love with 👀

i assume is his demon bud?

if you asked eli he'd say no one, if you asked keth he'd say "me, obviously," and if you asked anyone else eli works with they'd sigh and point to bentley. eli denies he has feelings for them but has been in love with them for years. they're also the only person eli considers a friend (which keth is offended by)
