me drawing this:

Anyways hi guys I can't stop thinking about Marius and Lukas. Complete opposites (metalhead reject/popular jock) but oh turns out they are exactly the same trope is coming in strong I HATE THEM. Clears throat

I genuinely have so many more thoughts about this but most of them are not ones I can share with the public. URGH. That's all

The complexities of human relationships are things I cannot begin to comprehend.

But I can try.

POV: it's 2024 and your black metal band that had a small stint in the mid 90s for being controversial and stupid is STILL being talked about on twitter.

sorry for being dead i've been focusing a lot on tiktok.. video content is easier sigh

when the day is done / down to earth then sinks the sun / along with everything that was lost and won

Hours before Nekroligion's show, Marius is practicing. He plays to remember. He'll remember until his fingers bleed.

I can’t help but feel an understanding between us, as much as I hate you. Do you feel that same sinking sensation in your stomach when you make eye contact with me?

If you did, I’m not sure you would admit it.

That’s okay. I won’t either.

a disclaimer before i explain the meaning of this piece - this is NOT ship art. they could never be romantically involved. like. ever! the nudity is entirely non-sexual so don't be weird.

anyways, explanation of the symbolism of this piece is under the cut :)

essentially, these two are mirror images of each other. that has been the point of layla since she was created - she is a mirror of marius. why? multiple reasons: it expresses adrik’s subconscious desires to be with marius (he dates layla because she is so similar to him), and it provides both marius and layla chances to look inward based on their perception of each other.

when theyre together, they are stripped down to their base human instincts - hence the nudity. ultimately, when alone, they are their purest selves around each other. obviously this is terrifying for two people who are equally stubborn and closed off. neither of them (usually) want to be ‘known’ in that manner, yet they are forced to be. marius acknowledges this vulnerability. he directs his gaze towards layla, and holds onto her, pulling her closer. layla does not. she deliberately ignores him, directing her gaze towards the camera - yet she does nothing to stop him from touching her.

marius is intrigued but disgusted, having to face his own shittiness in the form of another human being. layla is not prepared to face her issues, and wants nothing to do with him.

finally their bodies are transparent-ish because 1. its cool…... 2. it showcases that they cant hide their true selves from each other no matter how hard they try. and 3. theres a bible reference in there somewhere look for it

thank you for reading teehee.. i love my ocs and symbolism in art very much!

MARIUS ULLAND

i wanna move / i oughta feel / i need to drift into a world so unreal

Born to Kristian and Sonja Ulland, Marius is a Norwegian man, aged 22. He has dirty blonde hair he cuts himself, a crooked, arched nose, jacked up teeth, scars all across his arms, and eyes that have been described as ‘dead’ over the years.

He is not a perfect man, and he has never claimed to be.

Marius came up with the idea for Nekroligion in high school, shortly after moving to Sweden and meeting Joen Lindqvist. The two were both obsessed with all things metal, and vowed to create the best band in the world after graduation.

The two of them met Adrik Antonov on one of their weekly scope-outs. Marius knew he had to have him in his band after seeing him perform so passionately. So he stole him.

He’s pretty sure it was the best decision he had ever made.

Now, Nekroligion is on tour, with a pretty decent kvlt following. Little does Marius know, the worst is yet to come.

he’s got charisma, but when he’s all alone / he curls in a ball and wishes he was / home again, home again, home again

FACTS:

Born January 26th, 1973. He’s an Aquarius (although he doesn’t care what it means).

Has hypersomnia. He’s slept through whole days.

Struggles with bouts of depression and suicidal ideation. Has gone to the hospital for excessive self harm multiple times. He’s used to it.

Craves validation.

His nipples are pierced! He was dared to. His parents were not very happy when they found out.

Has two younger siblings: his sister, Janne (aged 17), and his brother, Aksel (aged 7). He hasn’t seen them in a while.

Grew up Catholic.

Hates his father.

Is bisexual. Will not admit this to himself.
