Best part of Durgetash to me is that according to the "Memoirs by Gortash" chapter 4 outline you can find in his room in Wyrm's Rock, he and Durge were hanging out doing heists even before Bhaal and Bane commanded them to be allies and before Gortash came up with the Absolute plan. Gortash was just a Dead Three cult leader who saw Durge leading their own Dead Three cult and went "same hat?" And offered to help them steal back a bhaalspawn's remains + some torture devices from the House of Wonders purely to make friends.

huh. you know something I just consciously put together for the first time about caterina and lucanis' relationship is that through the game we get to hear them talk about each other a lot, but we get very few chances to hear them speak with each other at any length at all. contrast it with other companions whose storylines have elements of 'believed lost/long time no see relative returns!' like bellara and davrin, where we get to see both of them have several pretty in-depth conversations with cyrian and eldrin. hell I think even rook talks with varric longer in the regret prison scene than we ever get to see lucanis and caterina interact directly.

(and when we do see them interact, it's mostly one-sided -- it is, perhaps unsurprisingly, caterina who is doing most of the talking and giving all the orders, as he ruefully observes is her wont after murder of crows. including jumpscaring him with 'you're first talon now btw' and the shocked pikachu face in five acts he goes through in response lmao. perhaps it's more accurate to say that she talks at him and he reacts, than that they talk to each other much.)

it has such an interesting effect too, because in deliberately denying us direct insight or experience and only having this mosaic of description from each of them to go on, as well as forcing us to pay attention to the negative space of what is carefully not said, it's evocative along the same principle that you never actually show the monster in a horror film. if you've read the wigmaker job you have a clearer image of the more uh. worrying elements at play here going in, but there is something fascinatingly insidious and naturalistic in the way it's 'hushed up' in the game itself. she has his complete loyalty both as a member of her house and, more importantly, that of an abused child to a parent figure. he readily admits several times that she's a difficult person to live with, an even more difficult person to be loved by ("even for me. and I was her favourite")... but never once does he actively blame her nor truly conceptualize that he has every right to do so (that he can be angry with her and still love her, because whether he should or not he unavoidably does), or that she might have acted differently than she did, that she made a choice every time to hurt him. even affectionately he speaks of her as a force of nature, an act of god -- something that can't be reasoned or pleaded with or resisted, something you can only hope to navigate with as little pain as possible and pray to survive. let yourself get carried away by the riptide, resisting it will only make it worse. you don't compromise with a hurricane, you just try to find the best shelter you can and cross your fingers while you wait for it to pass and be calm again.

love is that hurricane. you do whatever she asks. you earn her continued affection day by day by never letting her down. you only want the things she tells you it's okay to want and cut everything else away preemptively. ("A wyvern tooth dagger?? I loved wyverns as a boy --Caterina would never let me have one of these, though." and as we have all wept and gnashed our teeth over, it never even OCCURS to him that he's a like thirty-five year old adult man who can buy himself any dagger he wants at any time. she said he couldn't have one. so he'll never have one. that's just how it works. and maybe if Illario could just accept that and find his peace with it like I have, this whole thing wouldn't be so difficult. oh lucanis.)

such is the price -- and the cost -- of being loved by her, it's a loan on which the interest will never stop piling up. you have to keep paying it down in perfection every day if you want to keep it. who got the worse deal there: the grandson who has abandoned everything else in life to live up to that and mostly succeeded, until the day he's so burned out and broken it threatens to no longer be an option, or the grandson who can never seem to scrape together enough worth in her eyes no matter how he begs, borrows or steals it, how he hustles and plays dirty?

one of the worst things that can happen to anyone is to be loved by a selfish god. another one of the worst things that can ever happen to anyone is to not be loved by a selfish god. (hope that helps, boys!) even in betraying everything else, Illario can't bring himself to hurt his grandmother, because that would defeat the whole point. who would he defiantly be proving himself worthy to, without her. in love, devotion, submission, hatred, frustration, bitterness, everything is defined in relation to her, you can spot the gravitational force of it through how the dellamorte family move through time and space. she -- her love and regard and attention -- is still the sun both of their worlds orbit around, even as adults. the game might never tell you outright 'she used to beat and starve them growing up. for their own good you see, so they'd be strong (and broken down enough for her to build them up again however she wanted but I'm sure that's incidental)', but if you know even a little bit about how these dynamics can work the writing is on the wall everywhere you look and all the more unsettling for it.

follow lucanis' freeze-logic and fraught interpersonal catch 22 irreconcilable mixed emotions problems back far enough, looong before the ossuary entered the picture, and you start to see caterina's ghost around every fucking corner. she is so proud of him. (well, she would be. she made him. she forged exactly the knife she needed and it rests willingly, devotedly, in her hands, it would return to her every time because it doesn't know love as anything but to be a knife. his tama never taught him how to be anything else. his biggest fear with her is that she won't even want him back, the way he is now.) to the best ability of her soul, whatever parts of it survived a lifetime of crow politics and 'five children, eight grandchildren, only Illario and me left now', I think she really does loves him. he certainly loves her, with all the sincerity and artless desperation of a child, of the little boy he was once. and what she's done to him (and to illario, for all his shitty gremlin scar-ass antics lol) is awful. the harm is real, and the love is real, and trying to find a way for these two truths to exist in the same space is driving all three of them their own individualized forms of insane. you know. the way only family can and so often does lol.

through implications and short glimpses and having to put the pieces together yourself, you can have the feeling that there is very genuine mutual love and attachment in this relationship... and that beneath that there is something so profoundly wrong. and the sneaking '...oh shit it gets worse the longer I think about it' horror of that is more effective for me at least than the stark in-your-face presentation of the facts of the matter could have been. the love is here. the love is here. it only ever makes it worse.

ELYSIUM FALLING

With changing faiths, the old gods were left as mere names recorded in the history of the evolution of mankind, left to the figments of imagination in myths and legends. Their fall was never recorded in history, erased by the sands of time and rewritten by humanity as “passing comets.” Condemned to Earth for eternity, they built a home for themselves in one corner of the world, away from humans who turned their backs on them. They spend their lives in the Bermuda Triangle, their prison-turned-paradise, a mere shadow of the heavens they once occupied. Some found a way to escape for a while to roam the world they once held in their hands, blending with the humans they once loved. You can find them anywhere, in a coffee shop, walking on the street, or in your university classroom. But if you’re daring enough, you can access this piece of heaven from anywhere in the world. The only catch—you have to be willing to go off the map.

Welcome to Cromer Net’s first writing event! Here are some guidelines you must adhere to:

You can only join if you are willing to write for an ateez member. You can join even if you are not a part of the network.

The basic theme revolves around fallen gods (from Greek, Roman, Norse, or any other mythology, for example, Zeus, Bacchus, Loki, etc.) who have been imprisoned on Earth after their fall. They live in the Bermuda Triangle, and their prison is guarded by demons, but some of them have figured out a way to leave the confines of their prison to visit the different places on earth, but many others choose to stay.

The storyline can include a fallen god!reader, a human reader, a nymph!reader, or a demon!reader (same goes for the ateez members you choose to write for).

Note: Bermuda Triangle (aka their prison) is a manifestation of eternal damnation, a "hell" if you will. But they created a "heaven" for themselves there. (Think Hades. He was cast out of Olympus but created his own Empire in the underworld.)

Aside from what's given in the prompt and guidelines, everything is open to the interpretation and creativity of the author!

Authors must submit oneshots that are more than 1000 words long. You may submit a series as long as you are able to finish it by the deadline (all works must have a read more cut).

NSFW content is allowed as long as proper warnings are given. However, no content that is offensive to others will be accepted!

For any questions, you may contact @pocketjoong (A separate discord server might be created if enough authors from outside the network apply).

All network rules will apply. Minor cannot join the event!

Use the tag #elysium falling event cromernet in the first five tags of your post to submit your post for the event!

Event deadline: 31st September 2023

[dewdrops-whammy-bar]

Kind of obsessed with the idea of Terzo referring to Omega as “my partner Meg” to people who have never seen him so they get the shock of their life when Meg turns out to be a 6’7 guy with unnerving eyes who’s built like a brick shithouse and could crush a watermelon with his thighs.

this is so old but you bet i'm still going to post it because i think it's funny.

[hellofriendhawke]

Your Murderbot has such incredible physicality and the expressions are GOALS!!! Do you take requests? Any more murderbot would be great (or murderbot 2.0?) Thank you for sharing your art :) :) :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I hope you enjoy my offering of 2.0 :)

I wanted to say that I am adore of your designs and outfits you made for your AU, and I was wondering if I saw what’s was Sabrina looks like in your AU 😊😊😊

The other times I’ve drawn her I’ve kinda just winged it!! So this is her official design for the au ^^

AU headcanons!

She has a softer voice, so you would think she’s polite and shy but since she’s Chloe’s best friend you realize better

Her hair is actually wavy, but she straightens it

Thinks Kim’s dumb personality is cute; Chloe hates it tho

Quite smart; she does well on homework and helps Chloe study even though she never pays attention

She’s the one who comes up with Chloe’s revenge plans. Compared to her, Chloe is oddly forgiving after she gets what she wants (your humiliation).

LOVES drama and a natural-born instigator.

Today might be all about the spirit of giving, but I guess, not everyone got the memo. Oh well, something tells me that the thieves will be dealt with swiftly.

BTW, been a little busy with something else this month, so I haven't been able to post more art, but that will change very soon.

With all that being said...

🎅🎄Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! 🎁☃️
