#moon deity au

"The worst part, Mr. Tiny Hero, is that they thought I wouldn't notice. Me! They wanted to turn a profit on this war and expected I wouldn't figure it out! They also didn't invite me! I've never been so insulted in my life!" Ravio hurried down the path, dragging the confused otherworldly being behind him.

"But they get one kid dressed up like some kind of death god and start thinking they can capture part of Calatia under the pretense of securing the border or some bullshit. Like you're just a tool for them! Well you're not, especially if I have anything to say about it. And I want to fuck them over too. Just a little. A smidgen." Ravio made a quick turn to the left, toward the docks.

"Don't worry, I've bribed the guards and Mr. Pirate Hero's got the boat ready. We're getting you out of here. If there's one thing I'm good at it's running away." The packed dirt turned to wooden planks under their feet, clacking under Ravio's boots and groaning under the former hero's.

"Also in retrospect I should have given you a better nickname Mr. Tiny Hero. My bad."

I couldn't get this idea out of my head until I got Something out, so! deity au!

Basically it's a generic fantasy world with a large pantheon of gods that are more representations of concepts. YN is a minor trickster spirit who's convinced some towns people they are actually a god and is in for a Big surprise when two big name gods decide to check in on their temple where YN has been hanging out. More info under the cut and designs for YN and Sun and Moons other form coming soon!

Also send me asks about this au I desperately want to talk about it more lol

Sun and Moon are twin deities that are worshipped together. Some scholars argue they are two sides of the same being, though this is incorrect. There are many differences in how the mortals see gods (and magic in general) and how they actually are.

It is commonplace for temples to create a sort of doll for their gods to hopefully possess and interact with followers. Larger temples have more complex vessels while really small ones might only have straw effigies. It's really the thought that counts, especially since gods do not often possess these vessels, prefering to work through dreams and visions and stuff like that. Still, to not have a vessel is seen as a huge slight

Magic is very much A Thing, but its not something ordinary people often interact with. Very few mortals will ever directly interact with magic. Magic is a thing of gods, not men. (More greek myth than DND is basically the vibe)

YN is a trickster spirit with illusion powers. They were caught shapeshifting by a human man and when he assumed they were a god they shrugged and said 'sure lets see where this goes.' When people started giving them offerings they thought it was a sweet deal and stuck around to milk it for as long as they could.

they started sleeping in a tree behind a temple, which is how they caught they attention of two gods. YN did NOT expect it when the famously reclusive Sun and Moon decided to actually possess their vessel to 'check in' on their temple and the town.

Sun and Moon know YN is not a god. YN knows they know they're not a god. No one is addressing it. It's one big game of chicken to see who breaks character first.

Old man from the woods what will he do?

Making Fierce Deity Link into something that looks like a FromSoftware boss because no one has slapped the stylus out of my hands yet.

(If this were a FromSoftware game, the sword would become the double arced blade we know and love in the second phase and FD would stand upright)

second half of the deity refs! design notes under the cut

Sun and Moon share a vessel, with Moon taking control during the night. The vessel is a material sort of porcelain ball jointed doll type deal that physically looks like the Sun design, Moon changes it with his magic when he possesses it.

Because of this, Moon is pretty constantly cloaked in shadow which I didn't draw for clarities sake

The vessel was crafted with very high quality materials to honour the gods (and as a way for the town to show off its status)

Bells are directly tied to magic in this world, in both a symbolic and literal way, hence the abundance of them

YN is specifically a grey fox, and can change between their three forms at will. I thought this was a fun way to keep YN's human appearance blank for easier projection :p

It's been some time since I last actually posted something, but here's a little side piece I've been working on as I attempt to get back into traditional art.

I'd like to try and do these with a few other of the characters in the AU, but for now here's Deity Sunny 🌙

I think I might have forgotten to share this but um. Deities/priests au designs for their ‘mortal’ disguises and Reader in their temple member outfit (+ what I think I’m gonna make their lost deity traits, aka a halo, a set of small feathered wings on the sides of their head that r most justly for expressiveness, and wings that look like stained glass!)
