A dream. I was dreaming... Or perhaps it was a memory from the distant past. A dream. A memory: the words I was unable to convey that day-- that time... A dream of a woman named [Ourania]... And the lives of countless other women... All but dreams.

I finally caved and made a Durge! So meet Lilith, Wild Magic Sorcerer, and a girlie with two souls in one body~ Killed by her own mother who feared her a demon, resurrected and given new life by her father Bhaal, controlled by him as an unholy assassin, while her other, better half screamed.

Left is Lil as an Unholy assassin, she appears almost like a walking corpse, her skin and hair leeched of all color, except one lone deep dark blue eye fighting to come through (Its the symbolism okay) She gravitates toward dark makeups to give some semblance of color to herself.

Right is Lilith, now going by Lilly, after she redeems herself and forsakes Bhaal, regaining her true appearance and self💕

Have some 2am Ghoul Takemichi bc I was rereading @13reasonstoeatthatcake ‘s Tokyo Ghoul AU Have Your Fill for the 500000000th time (because this concept and AU has a death grip on me and will never let me go) and only just now realized and remembered I could draw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

orv 🤝 asteroid city

stories about stories that left a surprisingly large impact crater in my brain

anyway some more (frankly far too extensive) thoughts under the cut for an au i dont forsee myself drawing for again (cw: mention of suicidal thoughts and lots of talk about death)

for anyone reading this who hasn't watched asteroid city: it's a movie documenting the making of an in universe fictional play called asteroid city written by conrad earp (kdj) directed by schubert green (hsy) lead actor jones hall (yjh) who plays augie, very emotionally repressed guy whose wife (lsh, kinda) just died and is trying to figure out how to tell his children about it. anyway jones shows up at conrad's house for auditions and the two fall in love, then conrad dies from a car crash 6 months into the shows run and jones is left to play a character mourning the death of his wife while irl mourning the death of his lover and it drives him up a wall trying to figure out if he's doing conrad "right" (hence 'i still don't understand the play')

anyway for this au like everything that happens in the movie also happens i think but the character motivations are a little bit different like in the movie conrad earp writes the play before he ever meets jones hall so we don't really know why it's Like That but i think in the au kdj is either like. having suicidal thoughts or just fully believed he wasn't gonna live for very long in the like cptsd symptom kinda way lmao. so like it's not really that he wrote the play to help yjh process his own death (i think if that were the case the message of the play would be way different lmfao) but it's more like he just had death and grief on the brain and was also writing stuff. and like the answer he arrived at was that he didn't actually arrive at anything in the end. sometimes tragedy just happens and there's no meaning to it you just kinda have to live with that. like i know this is not how the process of play production works but if there's one change to the original movie plot in this au i want to make it's that kdj still dies by car accident but before the script is 100% finished or after he's been talking about rewriting the ending or something because i think he also doesn't figure out an answer he's satisfied with in the end about like death and grief and mourning. like you just know that in kdj's ideal world his loved ones wouldn't mourn him at all if he dies because he doesn't want them to be sad because of him and maybe he still hasn't fully 100% internalised that he has people who would care if he dies. anyway i think yjh kinda understands like subliminally that kdj was trying to Say Something with the play he just isn't sure what because he's looking for An Answer like some kind of meaning to everything that's happened but the point is there isn't one and if there is kdj hasn't found it either lmao. and like i think hsy understood immediately like as soon as she heard the news of his death she's figured out what kdjs thought process behind the play was and like she's absolutely not holding it together as well as she appears but she also sees yjh driving himself insane every night trying to find The Meaning or whatever and like whether or not she even agrees with kdj aside this is the only way she can think of to help him get out of that hole bc she can't exactly tell yjh like 'the point is that there is no point you just have to live with The Everything' so she's just trying her best to make him understand on his own. idk i just need someone who's watched asteroid city to see this and tell me if ive gone completely insane LMAO

In honor of Memorial Day, let us pray,

For the brave souls who paved the way.

They fought with courage, they fought with might,

To protect our freedom, to defend what's right.

On this day we remember their sacrifice,

Their selfless acts that paid the price.

They stood tall in the face of fear,

Their memory we hold dear, year after year.

They marched into battle, side by side,

With faith in their hearts, they never did hide.

They carried their crosses, their burdens they bore,

For God and country, they fought for more.

Their faith in Christ gave them strength and grace,

In the darkest times, they sought His face.

They trusted in His guidance, His loving hand,

As they fought for justice, to protect this land.

So let us bow our heads and say a prayer,

For those who gave their lives, for those who still care.

May their souls rest in peace, in eternal light,

For their sacrifice, we are forever grateful, day and night.

On this Memorial Day, let us stand united,

In honor of those who fought and died, undivided.

May we never forget their courage and love,

And may we always cherish the freedom they've won from above.
