Context on the Abyss:
There's more information I wrote on Nerizo. But we haven't dug that deep yet :]
Transcript under cut:
[Image 1]
Hell/the Infernal plane is the upper of the two, below the material plane. Devils and such are the primary resident, but there are demons in the deepest recesses of the Infernal plane (pulls energy from the Abyss below)
The Abyss is the absolute lowest plane. All the energy from the above planes trickles down into here, making it sort of a twisted mishmash of the upper planes. Demons feed on this energy, as I discussed before.
Unfortunate souls get pulled into Hell and the Abyss (Hell more often, as it's higher up) and tormented for the energy of despair and pain they produce, or just eaten. They might get pulled from any plane, including the realm of Death, though I imagine she's not too happy about that one. (You could also say the weight of a soul's sin makes it easier to pull into the underworld)
Demons of a sort can also spawn in the Void between planes. These demons are incorporeal and feed on latent energy / souls slowly before they finally accrue enough energy to enter some other plane and possess a body. Gurren is one of these.
I guess alternatively Death could willingly toss souls that need some punishment into the lower planes. lmao
[Image 2]
its basically a messy, violent power hierarchy. weaker demons tend to flock under stronger ones for a number of reasons- status quo, safety, resources, a chance at striking a higher position.
energy and souls from the higher planes trickle down into the abyss. some demons grow fantastically strong gorging on that energy- tricking mortals into parting with their souls means that energy goes straight to them rather than losing strength by drifting around, cycling around in the afterlife or whatever. the energy of the cardinal sins is pretty potent too- and it can be produced by demons themselves, so strongly exemplifying those aspects is also a way to grow powerful.
those energy resources as well as things pertaining to them- mortal souls that have been dragged into the abyss for eternal torment, gold, hellfire, ect.. are hoarded and collected in masses of terrible energy, cities of pain. 'lone' demons that don't stay near these areas or work under a stronger demon are basically fucked out of any of those resources, plus they risk being eaten- It's always a risk but if they have a master, they basically only risk their master eating them and not any stronger demon that happens to stumble across them.
in the abyss, demons are semi immortal. physically slaying them will have no effect- but if another demon consumes their energy, then they cease to exist. the strongest demons are impossible to consume and so they'll come back anyway.

I'm gonna be real. Diebuster kinda sucked :/
#Like not egregiously bad#But feels very much like a mush of that era of anime#Without ever really taking a strong shape or direction#Like very much 'we haven't quite figured out Gurren Lagann yet' type of show#Every episode had at least ten cool as hell shots and ideas that could be a whole series plot hook on their own#But man the lack of focus and unclear sense of scale or shape or stakes of this world just made them all go to waste#And the yuri wasn't even as good as it was in Gunbuster :///#Which is insane considering it seemed way more on purpose here#Like that should have been the easy home run!!!!!!!#It was still the best part but like#More development of that relationship happened in flashbacks during the last episode than the whole rest of the series#Which made their final scene just not land as hard as it could#Whereas Jung Freud saying goodbye was less than a minute but breaks my heart in half just thinking about

I'm curious, what animes are you watching/what animes have you seen?
hi anon! currently I'm watching one piece with my sibling (halfway through fishman island arc?), and keeping up with dungeon meshi anime! (as i've completed the manga). - a while back i was also watching outlaw star, hell girl, and REwatching princess tutu in between drawing sessions/watching in the background (aka. not paying attention LMAO). but I haven't finished them yet.
also gosh actually I don't think I watch as much anime as people think I do, but I am very familiar with the fandom from being in it so long. I don't look at currently airing anime as I'm not huge into the anime space as I was before (and I can't personally stand some of the more trope-y/mainstream stuff), I prefer to just go through my own list slowly. for me personally I've always been pretty confident knowing what kind of media I'll enjoy and what media I won't, so most of the time I pick and choose my media carefully, bc my watching time is pretty limited. (yes I'm picky)... my attention span is also poor so it's common for me to not finish things!!!!!!!!!!!!!! though I do think it's healthy/fun to engage in media outside of your comfort zone/your usual genre, given you have spare time! (it's fun to hate on stuff together, ok). here's a little sample! i updated this anime checklist... in some of them I read both the manga + anime, and some are movies/I only watched the movie(s). this list is also very subjective but I'm not gonna sit here and list every anime I ever completed 😭 i also didn't bother marking childhood stuff/stuff from 10+ years I don't remember, such as yugioh or lucky star.
#ask#anonymous#some of these shows are also quite short - and if i talked about/drawn the series before. and i haven't checked it off...#it just means i havent seen the anime in its entirety#e.g. i didnt finish gurren lagann. utena. ouran#things i want to watch someday - hellsing DEF YES#still need to watch ghost in the shell. space dandy. psycho pass. made in abyss. tatami galaxy (the show not the movie). your lie in april#oh i might also watch karekano bc of gainax#if you can pitch me one of these shows i might consider it#fun fact: i worked on anime for a while. but im not much of an animator

Song of the Day: May 28
“Sebona Fi” by Yws Gwynedd
#song of the day#I'm fuckin exhausted babes. the short day did not happen. it's been one long day instead and I gotta say. I cannot lie. it sucked#I cannot stand being bored. I can't do it. I wanted to peel myself like a frozen grape all day#anyway I went to the yankee cookout#(got laughed at a fucking gain for calling it a cookout but bitch there was no barbecue! not noun nor verb! I don't want to hear it!)#(not that there was actually any cooking-out either in the end. the intent was there but they didn't get permission for the grill)#there wasn't jack shit actually bless their broken hearts and souls it was the saddest nothingness disaster I've ever attended#anyway on the walk back I was talking with one of the comms ladies about music in languages we don't speak#this is actually the only song I have that I don't understand the words as they play! I do not at all speak Welsh#(I used to have songs in Japanese. where did they go. I had at the very least the Gurren Lagann soundtrack. what did I do with it)#I've looked it up often enough I know what the song as a whole is about and I can sing along but I don't know the specific translations#it's such a fun song! happiness magic for me in the same vein as 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon#I needed it too. underfed understimulated overheated they did not let me pet the dog and I did not get my finance reference checks#'o ma bywyd mor braf' harmonies save me

Every time I watch gurren lagann it reminds me that I've NEVER seen anyone acknowledge that this
Is potentially an intentional parallel to this
Given that, yknow. That's kamina. The guy who wears the shades Bro and Dirk's are based on.
(I know hussie claims that at bros conception they hadn't watched GL but by this point like. Very possible. Also some things just make an insane about of sense, character wise, if you read it as Dirk looking up to Kamina. Like TOO much sense. I have Opinions on that.)
#i need to rewatch gl again w the express purpose of writing notes about dirk strider fr#gurren lagann#homestuck#dirkjake#kaminayoko#if anyone else wants to talk about these two works PLEASE hmu#im dying bc like 1 other person (that ive seen) actually seems to make these connections#shoutout to cringefail-clown#youre a real one

martyr, king and revolutionary
#gurren lagann#ttgl#kamina#my art#a quick doodle in between shifts#just had them gurren lagann feels today 🥺#…#‘later buddy’#okay#rant below#love how simon followed in his footsteps to uphold the same values#overtook him entirely#and went on to become a literal god to protect his world#kamina died a mortal man#but without his pushing (and his death) there would be no OP Simon and ultimately no world#and no matter how powerful simon grew he always traced it back to kamina#he was was the beginning and Simon was the end#I just have feelings about the duality of siblings (both blood related and not) bringing out the best and brightest in each other#even at the cost of their own selves#the need to push each to their limits and even further bc they KNOW the other has the potential and the raw willpower to make it happen#they just need that encouragement and support
