#it's been a long time since i've drawn them

[polaroid-petals]

Drawn for nightshade week day 3: The Real World!

I initially wanted to write about this AU, but as I haven't managed to get the worldbuilding fully figured out yet, I decided to draw the basic references instead!

Omori is a god who has existed for several million years alongside his twin brother, the god Sunny, and his older sister, the goddess Mari.

Humans are a relatively new being that bring with them the ability to empower gods and demons, and over the years, the triumvirate has amassed several followers. One of those was a doctor named Hero who fell in love with Mari.

However, as Mari nears an eldritch entity, humans are like raindrops that fall on a lake to her: insignificant and indistinguishable from one another. In his search for Mari's gaze, Hero began to sacrifice humans to empower himself and gain enough spiritual prowess to become visible to the object of his affection.

Somewhere along the process, Omori gets tired of being used by a human for this goal, but this ends up backfiring when Hero strips Omori of his powers and locks him inside the body of a young adult human that needs sustenance, can't communicate telepathically, and aches and itches all the damn time.

Omori now has to find a way to regain his powers and stop Hero's tyrany. Maybe first learn how to walk and talk.

Stranger is a once-powerful demon whose powers were stripped off him by the god Omori and who has since spent his days mingling with humans and offering a refuge for fellow demons and other creatures reaped by the mysterious human who has somehow felled a thousand demons.

Born several thousand years ago from the trauma of a group of parents who lost their child in a bog, Stranger has lived among humans for as long as he has been on earth. Once, he possessed potent powers to invade people's minds and feast upon their worst traumas, offering a mutually symbiotic relationship where he helps people process their traumas and other heavy emotions. However, in years past, he can barely even grasp emotions, and he has since given up on his help and spends most of his days enjoying the sins of the flesh and mortal pleasures.

One day, he stumbles upon a scrawny human who can't even walk lying by his feet, dehydrated and hypothermic, on the edge of death. Delicious revenge as it would be to devour him, it would simply not be satisfying to defeat an enemy who cannot fight back.

So Stranger decides to help Omori and teach him how to be a human and how to be a human.

For now.

I intend to make this into a larger AU and a fic once I have more time after Stray is finished! Details may change, but this is the general setup.

Below, I've also added marking and body reference.

Stranger's limbs have a gradient to them, and his legs are fluffy. Omori has golden markings on his skin where his old jewellery used to be as a god, but it's only visible under certain angles and with very specific lighting.

i've had constant aus and self-insert stories spinning around in my head for the past two months that i've been back into spn for, but i wasn't planning on doing anything more with them until i was browsing the fanart tags and discovered so many cool artists on here have been making spn ocs? it just never occurred to me that there would be any, let alone multiple, and to especially see ones being queer and trans made me really happy to see. so i took one of the too many different plots i'd been rotating in my head and made a little character out of it.

august north. he was killed by a demon when he was 26. his body was experimented on with the intent of creating an alternate long lasting vessel for lucifer. but a small amount of lucifer's grace bonded to august's body, reviving him as something not human, but not an angel. he meets the winchesters during season 4 of the show. he has some powers due to the archangel grace in him (healing factor, telekinesis) but it is not to the level of an archangel's power, possibly similar to regular angel's power or a bit less. he is a suitable alternate vessel for lucifer, if he were to say yes lucifer wouldn't burn through him like he does with nick. if lucifer's grace were to be removed from august's body then august would die, it is keeping him alive. the scar on his chest is from where lucifer's grace entered his body.

because of the whole 'boy with the devil's grace label' he ends up bonding a lot with sam, the two of them both being tied to lucifer through no choice of their own, and them both experiencing distrust and disgust from others because of this.

i really don't want any comments telling me that's not how angel grace works, i just liked the idea and it's my self-indulgent au. and august is entirely here for me to ship with lucifer so if that idea or lucifer in general makes you uncomfortable please just scroll on and don't judge me. i can't help falling back in love with this terrible archangel. i actually made a couple shrines on my website for sam and lucifer and boy i ended up writing way more about why i like them than i thought i would. the tldr is that i find things to relate to with lucifer in terms of the whole being cast out, family issues, being the black sheep of the family etc. and i find him fascinating, especially season 5 lucifer.

i'm not 100% sure on the storyline for august and lucifer, but lucifer does want to seek august out, partially because he's disgusted at a human having any of his grace, and partially because since sam is so hesitant to say yes it's nice for him to have this other option. i can imagine him visiting august in his dreams like he did with sam, trying to convince/manipulate him into saying yes, august not being bothered by his presence and instead feels drawn to him and ends up spending these dreams asking lucifer questions, and while lucifer is still trying to manipulate august into saying yes... he is lonely and this dead-alive human-angel boy is looking at him without disgust, isn't flinching when he touches him and he hasn't had anyone react like this to him in a long time and while he won't admit it a part of him is visiting august so often because out of all these hairless apes, this one isn't awful.

wow i wrote so much more than i meant too, oops. i guess that's good though, been a long while since i had an oc ramble this long.

[ID: a digital sketch page of my supernatural oc 'august north'. there's a half-body and full body drawing, with text around them. some of the text on the image i've already repeated in the text under the post but the rest reads: august north, supernatural oc, the boy with the devil's grace, pronouns: he/him, gender: trans man, height: 5'8", orientation: omnisexual, demisexual, demiromantic, nationality: english, occupation: hunter. august has pale brown curly hair that comes down to his collarbone in length, with a grey streak at the front right. he has two little braids going in front of each ear. in the half-body he's wearing a black coat, black long-sleeved shirt, a red bandana tied around his neck, white feather dangling earrings. in teh fullbody he's wearing black pants, black boots with spats over the top that look like little corsets, red with gold ribbon to lace them over the boots, a shirt button up that's unbuttoned and opened revealing the star shaped scar in between his pectorals from where lucifer's grace entered his body. he has two moles on his face, one under the outer corner of his right eye, one above the left side of his lip. his eyes are a blue-ish grey.]

Just watched Wicked part 1 (AWESOME movie, btw, excellent adaptation of the play), so naturally I've been thinking of...

The Bad Batch and their opinions on musicals

Omega: LOVES musicals and was the one to introduce her brothers to them. Sings along with every song and will sometimes dance too, mostly freestyle. Favorite musical: she's finally grown out of her High School Musical phase and is now going through a classics phase, of which her current choice for favorite is Singing in the Rain... but her favorite changes just about every week.

Crosshair: scoffs and rolls his eyes during the entire movie in a (vain) attempt to hide the fact that he knows all the songs and choreography by heart. (His siblings have all seen him practicing in his room when he thinks he's alone, but none of them have called him out on it because they think it's hilarious and they know he'll stop if he finds out they know.) Favorite musical: he doesn't like musicals how many times does he have to say it?? 😠 (We won't mention that he's been humming the entire Wicked soundtrack for days, even before seeing the recent movie adaptation. We also won't mention that he often forgets to roll his eyes when watching Hamilton.)

Wrecker: he likes musicals mostly because he has a blast singing along with Omega. The happy ones make him giddy, the sad ones always make him cry and he's not afraid to show it. Favorite musical: The Lion King (yeah, he cries every time).

Tech: meh, musicals are fine and he won't complain about watching one, but they're pretty much last on his list of preferred movie/theater genres. He cannot fathom why anyone would make a story involving characters spontaneously bursting into a song/dance routine ("of course it's fiction and yes of course I know what suspension of disbelief is, but the background characters are meant to be random strangers and therefore all of them knowing the same song and dance the lead character is supposedly composing on the fly is NOT remotely realistic"), but some of the stories themselves are intriguing enough that he just might put down his datapad while watching it. Selecting the one he most consistently puts his datapad aside for, his favorite musical: Les Miserables.

Echo: while he agrees that musicals are kinda weird, he also just shrugs it off - the Jedi did far weirder things. Favorite musical: his default answer to this question is to name the musical he's seen most recently, which now is Fiddler on the Roof since Gregor is currently obsessed with it (no one can figure out why). Echo genuinely VASTLY prefers Fiddler on the Roof over Phantom of the Opera which was Gregor's previous musical obsession that lasted waaaay too long.

Hunter: musicals make his kid happy, so he's happy. Favorite musical: pretty much whatever Omega likes at any given moment, but he did find himself strangely drawn in by The Sound of Music.

You know he has to flip for it!

No text + flat under cut

I've been working on this for a bit, and it is done! Two of my f/o's interacting for a silly meme. Ichimatsu's getting held by the scruff like a cat because Harv can't be normal /j/lh

I have an almost 9 hour drawing that I haven't finished yet, I spent the whole day drawing it AND GOSH I'M FUCKING TIRED, MY EYES HURT JUST AS MY FINGER DOES

I want to go to sleep, but I want to finish the drawing because I know that tomorrow I might lose motivation

So leave this here, I really want to sleep, It's fucking 1:30 AM

As much as I wanna include the neonfell bros in ask stuff, I've come to realize that au is so plot driven that it's difficult to place them in outsider scenarios. Like, the whole "capricious skeleton in character" ask stuff is primarily loosely based on the popular/general/nonsensical scenario of tons of dif undergrounds surfacing/survivors being rescued and all of them living together in some giant accommodating place

But with neonfell having a plot besides the more standard types, and that plot having significant impact on the characters personalities, it's like. Idk. I guess largely its because I can't decide at what point in time from their story they'd be from, as that would make the biggest difference. But like. I want to include them. But it also just doesn't quite fit......
