#glasya-labolas

[sorenblr]

So the Qaditsu’s pet attack dog is Glasya-Labolas as VeskScans found out.

This guy is a little freak!!!

Glasya-Labolas was certainly not the first name that entered my mind. It's not terrible, though. I think this sort of ornamentation is fine for the less striking Goetia, especially when it's this art deco bullshit on an organic frame, and it does communicate the really insane expression of the Dictionnaire design.

The 'mask' looks fairly specific, so I'd like to see a source come up in the commentary. I would have gone all in on West Asia or the ancient Near East, if I didn't know better. Bizarre.

oh the demon glasya-labolas has such a clever design in shin megami tensei. they showed the fact he’s supposed to both be a master of science and a bloodthirsty killer by giving him a snarling mask that flips upside down into a wise old mans head! that’s so good!! and look at those nifty patterns too, I don’t know if those are based on anything but they have such a flair.

He teaches all things past, and to come. If desired he causes the love both of friends and of foes.

⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.

Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.

Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.

Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.

Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩

Seven Years In Darkness. It’s Harry Potter, but good! Gorgeous illustrations accompanying this story following first year students at an academy for black magic. Ritual occultists will love this one, the creator did his homework. I had my copy of the Goetia on hand while reading!

Some more really old art, these are some of the Ars Goetia demons I drew way back when.

Sallos, Naberius, Botis.

Glasya-Labolas, Furfur, Vapula.

Day 26: Blue Mountains Panther

(Here's a real prompt entry. I decided to go back to the goetic demons since I'd felt the itch to use them again, especially with that remark about alien big cats with Flauros. As for who's who: Barbas is Thibetanus, Camio is AshestoAshes, and Bellicose is Glasya-Labolas.)

Thibetanus> Ose’s having a fit again. AshestoAshes> So? Let him wear himself out like usual. Thibetanus> He escaped into the mortal realm again. Bellicose> Really? Damn, hope he’s eating good. Tell him to come back with a human body this time. AshestoAshes> Any idea where he went? I can hop up to Britain to keep an eye on him. Thibetanus> No need, I already asked Agares to send Looker out. I should hear back from him soon. AshestoAshes> Good thinking. I don’t really want to bother searching all of the United Kingdom for one cat. Especially not after I finally got my new nest set up. Bellicose> Sweet, mind if I use it as a barbeque? I’ve been craving some grilled arms recently. AshestoAshes> Of course not. You always grab humans when they’re way too fresh. The blood will just extinguish the fire. Instead, I’ll just send some of my collection over to you. You’re the expert on grilling here anyways, what if I were to mess up your recipe? Bellicose> Good point. Forgot you’re the one that’s good at arguments. AshestoAshes> My reputation precedes me. Thibetanus> He’s not in Britain. AshestoAshes> Really? He always goes to Britain. That’s where the ABC sightings go. Thibetanus> Somewhere in that muddled brain of his apparently decided to switch things up a little. He’s in Australia. Sydney to be exact. AshestoAshes> SYDNEY? Great, he’s going to cause a wave of big cat sightings there soon enough. Thibetanus> Good news, he hasn’t done too much damage. Just some animal mutilations. Bellicose> Aw come on! Thibetanus> Looker seems to be keeping a good eye on him. Agares says Looker will pick him up once the fit is over. AshestoAshes> What even prompted it this time? Thibetanus> Apparently he thought it was a good idea to curse an entire office meeting with his spells. AshestoAshes> Don’t tell me. Thibetanus> Yep. Now they’re all on power trips. AshestoAshes> Will he ever learn? Thibetanus> I think he refuses to. Bellicose> What he should do is bring back some good human meat sometime! Thibetanus> Why not go get it yourself if you’re that desperate? Bellicose> Good idea! I’ll check the torture chambers. (Bellicose has logged out) AshestoAshes> Why did he even sign on to this chat? Thibetanus> Who knows. I’ll call Titivillus to let him and his team know to keep an eye out around Sydney for any signs of the creation of a cryptid. AshestoAshes> At least someone here knows responsibility. Thibetanus> I try to be.

Until I can reliably answer asks again (will still be some time) I will publish posts like the following to work out some thoughts (provocative or stupid) on various SMT topics that catch my interest. Plus, i need to get my writing skills back into shape.

One such stupid thought when Doi's new Glasya-Labolas was revealed was, "Glasya-Labolas is supposed to have the wings of a griffin and SMT already has Gryphon designs: the standalone dude from SMT1 and the one Murmur rides from Soul Hackers; for internal consistency, shouldn't that mean the new Glasya-Labolas should have wings like these pre-existing forms?This is not a good line of thought for various reasons, including:

a griffin is already a hybrid creature, its own wings are just an eagle's wings.

G-L's probably art deco wings are an inspired choice.

Said wings complement the focus of the design: the mask.

The mask captures the essence of the Dictionnaire print's expression in a novel form.

As Doi himself comments: "Glasya-Labolas is said to be a dog-shaped demon with griffon-like wings. He is also depicted as a dog with a unique face in the illustration for Hell's Dictionary. If I designed it normally, it would end up with an evil character similar to the griffon shown in this illustration, so I felt that although it was faithful to the original, it would lack interest. Therefore, we decided to incorporate our own interpretation into the appearance of this work in order to give it some originality." and "Next, regarding the face that was featured in the Hell's Dictionary illustration that I mentioned earlier, I thought about how I could create an interesting design that would take advantage of this unique facial feature.

Many of the demons that appear in Goetia have two sides, and this is true for Glasya-Labolas.It has one side that threatens to kill humans, and another side that is like a teacher who imparts learning. Therefore, in order to express these, I made the face a mask, and by turning it upside down, I was able to express both the eerie face of a devil and the gentle face of a teacher."

So despite my initial negative reaction to the design, it's since won me over and is definitely Doi's best Goetia demon yet. And lastly, "dog with wings" has already been done in smt:

...Even if Marchosias probably has little chance of returning anytime soon. And Even if he did, Glasya-Labolas is quite distinct from him.

The demon illustrations in Dictionnaire Infernal are sometimes so adorable it's hilarious. Like:

[writing-and-rebloging]

Getting into whb after having been obsessed with Magi for a good while is wild. Because sometimes you look at a devil like Sitri, or Andrealphus and it's all fun and games, right? But then. Then you see characters like Leraye, and you get all of the war flashbacks. My head has been consistently like this with every new overlapping devil-djinn I saw, and while I tried to keep it to myself, here's a small, visual representation of what my thought process is like

Glasya Labolas

"He is a Mighty president & sheweth himselfe in ye forme of a dog wth wings like a griffin; he teacheth all arts in an Instant, and is an author of Blood shed & Manslaughter, he telleth all Things past & to come, if desired, & causeth love of friends and foes; he can make a Man goe Invisible, & he hath under his rule 36 Legions of spirits."
