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!

[cerubiaid]

i tried so hard to make it as close to canon as possible 😭

anyway yeah the silly

EDIT: forgot to tag lmao @nekroligion i'm an idiot don't mind me please

[nekroligion]

TUMBLR HATES NOTIFYING ME WHEN I'M TAGGED IN SHIT. YOUR ART IS SO CUTE

@nekroligion

I've been surviving off of cold-eeze and your content this past week. Thank you 🙏

[twilightdaybreak]

Fanart for @nekroligion !!

Hii!! It’s MasterboltJupiter from your yt comment (I’m a bit obsessed with Percy Jackson don’t mind me)

I only did this mostly because my hands were ITCHING SO BAD to draw so yeah. I totally didn’t spend like ten minutes figuring out who Adrik was 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰😍😍

It’s probably not as good as your art (it will never be) but I had tons of fun drawing it!!

[ghostbc-headcanons]

I am going to make a very self centered post right now, not related to Ghost! Excuse the autocaps, I'm typing this on my phone.

If you like my headcanons and writing, please take the time to check out my other blog, @nekroligion ! I have been much more motivated to write and create on there. They are original characters I've put a lot of care into over the past 7 months, inspired by Ghost and black metal. I will be posting silly stuff and serious stuff, mostly oneshots about my characters themselves.

It's stupid, but I know I have more of a following on here than anywhere else - particularly one who is already into metal and fictional bands. I'd really appreciate your support. Thank you.

bi-yearly tumblr update - hello!

i do not really use this blog much anymore... sorry guys obviously if that wasn't clear by the fact that it's been over 2 years since i posted here!

just wanted to pop by and say thank you to everyone who indulged my buffy autism in 2022 :) talking with you guys was awesome. buffy is still a pretty big influence in my life, my humor, etc, even though i don't think about it much these days

ummmm general life updates, i'm turning 18 in less than a month! still very transgender still very gay, and i've really branched out into metal and shit like that. 2022 was really a turning point for me when it comes to music - eddie munson has changed me forever.. now i can't stop listening to shitty metal bands from the 70s-00s

i still make art of course. i'm really focused on my ocs right now - a fictional black metal band called nekroligion

they actually have a blog on here! @nekroligion i haven't touched it in a while because i've been busy with college :( but there's info about those fellers if you're intrigued at all.

i've considered making this post for a while just because i feel like this blog has always been left unfinished i suppose? like the knots were never tied off. made me sad. so this is most likely my final goodbye to this blog (if i don't get too sentimental)

if you wonder where i am, i post most often on my instagrams - frankierosies and flightattendantguy. i also have a tiktok for those ocs where i post pretty frequently, which is also under the username nekroligion! these are pretty much all the socials i use.

anyways yapping over! if you read all of this props to you man i wouldn't

thank you and byebye :) -frankie

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

[nekroligion]

PICTURED: NEKROLIGION (MARIUS ULLAND, top left; ADRIK ANTONOV, top right; JOEN LINDQVIST, bottom left; LUKAS HART, bottom right)

Lukas likes to take pictures, for memory's sake. The boys are his begrudging experiments. They will appreciate it better when the time comes!

You guys finally get to see what these people Look like ! These are actually redraws from the end of last year - excluding Lukas , he is an original drawing .

I made him first and I was like , well . He's too good to post next to the old drawings . I need to remake the others .

Anyways . Enjoy , Viewers !

Here are some of my other OCs, outside of Nekroligion: https://toyhou.se/alltidaldrig/characters

[nekroligion]

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

[nekroligion]

Adrik Antonov ain't nothing but a nasty dog ...

(something silly.. i need to actually post here sorry to my 12 tumblr followers)

[nekroligion]

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.

[nekroligion]

ADRIK ANTONOV

life’s hard when you’re soft / you’ve got our love

Born to Avdotya Antonova, Adrik is a Russian man, aged 21. He has wavy blonde hair, a sloped, upturned nose, the laugh of a hyena, battle scars from getting into excessive amounts of fights, and eyes so blue you could probably drown in them in you tried hard enough.

He is the epitome of black metal… on the surface.

Before Nekroligion, Adrik was the singer in another black metal band- one that he doesn’t really think about much these days. He misses singing sometimes, but his passion has always truly been the drums.

He enjoys performing, either way. He enjoys the thrill. He enjoys the people. He enjoys getting laid, getting wasted. He enjoys his best friends. He’s happy.

Right? Yeah. What reason would he have to be unhappy?

she told me / ‘why are we sitting here wasting time, we could be underneath the sheets’ / she told me / ‘keep your life story to yourself, let me show you how it’s supposed to be’

FACTS:

Born April 6th, 1974. He’s an Aries (and it shows).

Has emetophobia, despite the fact that he’s frequently hungover.

Has undiagnosed ADHD.

Gets compared to Dead a lot. He’s come to terms with it.

Didn’t know his dad. Doesn’t want to.

Only child. Him and his mom rule the world, in his eyes.

While not religious, he is very spiritual. Considers himself a non-theistic Satanist.

Openly bisexual. Commonly sleeps with both men and women.

Technically has a girlfriend, Layla.
