Monsters Reimagined: Asmodeus, Lord of all Hells
I think I know what may be happening....You’re trying to atone me, and I didn’t do anything wrong...You want to know what I’ve always hated about mortals? why I spit on your forgiveness, why I loathe your redemption? To reach a hand down to somebody they need to be beneath you,
And I’m Beneath Nobody.
Brennan Lee Mulligan as Asmodeus for Exandria Unlimited: Calamity
@pikablob was asking about my ideas on devils and mentioned Asmodeus in the process, and while I’ve already done a monster’s reimagined on devils, I figured it was a good opportunity to talk about my take on the biggest of big bads. To summarize, I like to go back to the mythological roots of devils less as agents of a universal evil but as individual manifestations of judgment, looking to test or punish mortals for their failings. This ( along with Brennan’s showstopping performance in calamity) gave me the idea of an Asmodeus as the ultimate critic of mortalkind, an entity that can see all of our flaws and nothing of our virtues.
TLDR: There are many evil gods, wicked things that preside over cruelty and misfortune in all its forms, but there are few that would claim to be the god of evil itself. Though to hear the lord of all hells tell it, there is nothing touched by mortals that is NOT evil: no act that is not in some way rooted in self interest, no moment of self determination that is not a transgression, no soul that is not some way corrupted. To allow the Father of Sin into your heart is to accept that people are fundamentally wicked creatures deserving of punishment, and that punishment cannot come soon enough.
Bio: Ruling from the lowest depths of the pit, Asmodeus sits a throne surveying an empire built on torture and damnation and deems it insufficient. There is evil in the multiverse and that evil is called mortals, things gifted with the tiniest spark of life who every day choose the wickedness of existence. His purpose is to be the scourge that drives the animal towards the slaughterhouse, to take hold of mortal life and shape it into useful purpose, with the only useful purpose being the ultimate destruction of all wicked things
The hypocracy of being an evil god punishing evil does not for a moment shake Asmodeus. Spirits cannot choose their nature, nor can animals, but mortals which live in the intersection choose to be evil every day, and worse yet, have the capability to choosing evil at any time. In spite of his divine status, and in many ways because of it, Asmodeus is actually incapable of perceiving good in mortals, believing that good intentions or earnest affection are yet more lies and hasty justifications that mortals buffer themselves with to excuse their faults and selfish action. None can then judge the atrocities he commits because none are without sin, even if to find that sin he needs to peel back layers of causality and unconscious feelings to find a thread of wrongdoing.
To purge the universe of the blight of mortals Asmodeus cultivates power and fear: Power in the form of legions of devils and devoted servants who’s hateful hearts he feeds like a furnace, fear in the form of agents which sow division in mortal hearts and a myriad of private hells filled with infinite forms of torment.
Swear to serve Asmodeus, say his mouthpieces, and you will be spared the infinite torment when the boot on your neck breaks through to your spine, or when his hordes come to put your home to the torch. Give up on the falsehoods of hope, love, and kindness, visit punishment on others and you may be rewarded for your service
Behind the scenes: I’ve talked quite a lot about how d&d uses the idea of objective evil as a staple of its worldbuilding, and how in doing so it ends up falling face first into pro genocide rhetoric. In attempting to make badguys that the party is 1000% justified in killing on sight it ends up stumbling into some very fucked up thought experements. Monsters in vanilla d&d arn’t just evil because they do bad things, but they do bad things because they are inherently evil: They pillage, they enslave, they despoil, not because these things benefit them ( as it invariably gets them killed by adventurers) but because these acts serve as an outlet for their wicked natures.
If our heroes’ enemies are fundamentally evil, then any action which opposes them must be good, and any pillaging, enslaving, or despoiling the party does can be excused provided the targets belong to the designated ingroup. This is almost identical to the reasoning that was used by crusaders, conquistadors, slave owners, and fascists, and what is now being used by the evangelical to deny people rights and life-saving aid to this day.
What I wanted with Asmodeus was an entity that looked at the party like a group of murderhobos look at an orc: an ugly brutish thing that is only useful in so far as its suffering and death can benefit them. Maybe it’ll be funny if they make it beg for its life. The party feel they’re justified in this because they know the orc is objectively evil ( because the books said so), just like Asmodeus is justified in plucking the souls from mortals and making them suffer for eternity because he knows, in his flawed omniscience, that they are deserving of it.
Signs: The sounds of tortured souls wailing from below, symbols of power glowing red hot, the manifestations of lesser devils.
Symbols: A five pointed star made of jagged metal, a black throne or crown atop numerous bodies.

Also for anyone wondering why I've drawn the characters as they are here,some radically different to how theyve been portrayed by others, you can check out the character bios I've written for them here,except for clawd,although I will get to writing one for him, eventually...
Going from left to right:
Draculaura (she/her) is unlabeled
Clawd (he/him) is Bisexual
Holt (+ jackson) (he/they) is also unlabeled
Clawdeen (she/her) is a Lesbian
Frankie (any pronouns bar it/its) is Genderfluid and Demiromantic
Also a fun lil aside,but the sweater vest frankie is wearing is actually one I own irl, I just thought the colours fit them very well,wdyt?
Ghoulia (they/ze/zom) is Aroace
Cleo (she/her) is Demisexual and Biromantic
Duece (he/him) is a Trans man
Lagoona (she/her) is Pansexual
Anyways,wdyt of this piece, I hope you like it because I'm planning on doing a disability pride piece in a similar ilk for the end of July. Anyways, I hope you've had an amazing pride month and continue to be your freaky fabulous self, as monster high tended to put it...

Marvel Universe's Gods and Monsters.
JL Gods and Monsters is a reinvention of DC's characters that takes the name and throw everything else out. So with Marvel's take I wanted to go a little further.
Here are some early ideas I had-
-Hulk is a young man whose cursed to transform into monster because of something his grandfather did.
-Ant-man is a mutated ant that became an ant-human hybrid by experiments from the High Evolutionary.
-Vision is a mutant that could see the future.
-Goliath is a giant who protects the humans he befriended and their descendants.
-Iron Fist is an Inhuman with the ability to transform their body into different metals.
For the Big three I'd probably replace Thor with Horus and explore what happened if there was a platoon of Super Soldiers during WW2 lead by Protocide instead of Steve.
[url]https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Clinton_McIntyre_(Earth-616)[/url]
[url]https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Machine_Man?so=search[/url]
For Iron Man, I wanted to use Machine Man and tie him to Japan. He started out as a deterrent against American Super Soldiers but defected and became the first robot citizen of the UN.
Spider-Man and Wasp would focus on the conflict between the Spider-society and the Brotherhood of Wasps. Those two characters would represent those factions and be rivals.
These are fun to do. What are your ideas?

OMG RAVEN YOU’RE INTO EVER AFTER HIGH? I love it but can’t talk about it bc none of my friends have seen it 😭 I wish it was talked about more, especially with how deep their lore runs. I love EAH’s dynamics with the complexities of destiny. If twst followed the same logic as eah’s world it would be so interesting. How would you feel if the worlds were to mesh together and how it would work? You can interpret that in any way you want; the characters meeting or twst being bound to the same rules and societal expectations of eah, or whatnot.
Also who’s your favorite eah character compared to your favorite twst character (Leona)?Jade, right?
And have you read the eah books? I haven’t, but I’m going to try to sometime!
Eah alt account when?
I'm still salty that the Monster High x Ever After High crossover movie never saw the light of day-- Part of the reason why I don't like Disney (I mean the faceless corpo, not all Disney products) is because they have such a strong association with fairy tales that it pushes other interpretations out of the market or it leads to people assuming Disney "owns" those fairy tales. Ever After High's lore and themes run so much deeper than most other fairy tale reimaginings I've seen (and I've seen a lot). It's such a shame it doesn't get the respect and recognition it deserves even though EAH is the one out here challenging the status quo whereas modern Disney is content with mediocrity that appeals to the masses.
I think EAH and TWST, at their cores, share similar ideas so combining them would work well. Friendship, self-identity, defining your own future, questioning what "good" and "evil" truly are... It's all there. I'd imagine that if Twisted Wonderland (or at least NRC) followed the same rules as EAH, then everyone would be descendants of their Disney counterparts. (This is actually a common misperception of what TWST was to new fans; people mistakenly believe the TWST characters are children of the classic Disney villains. This has never been canon.) Unfortunately, I'd have to take away the Disney villains being twisted to be "good" guys in Twisted Wonderland's world in order for this to work by EAH rules, so... There's that to consider. This, in turn, can result in the student body splitting into Royals (pro-following one's destiny) and Rebels (anti-following one's destiny). Perhaps RSA and NRC could be one school in this AU...? Just so we have a mix of "good" and "evil" descended children in the same vicinity as one another. A must-have are the constantly bickering Narrators!! It's only really when Yuu shows up that the majority opinion starts to shift. Maybe then Crowley becomes concerned with students rising up and fighting back against the system that relies on them being complacent to keep the cycle of stories going. I've seen some readings of EAH which theorize that Royals guaranteed a happy ending is a stand-in for privilege, and that interpretation leads into very interesting conflicts when we also consider that magic in Twisted Wonderland is a privilege afforded to few.
To cover just the dorm leaders (because covering all the TWST characters would make this post way longer), I definitely see Riddle, Kalim, Idia, and Malleus as Royals and Leona, Azul, and Vil as Rebels. Here's my thought process:
Riddle is pretty self-explanatory. He comes from a background where he's used to being told what to do by his mother and so he also heavily relies on her strict, unyielding teachings to play by the book when he goes out there in the real world. Riddle is inflexible and hesitant to go against the grain--and, more importantly, he fully believes that following the rules will lead to his happiness... that doing as his fairy tale ordains will lead to a happy ending. What happens to the Queen of Hearts is dubious in the end since it's framed as Alice's dream, so I think that vagueness gives Riddle hope that by behaving himself, he'll earn the happiness he desires.
Leona is a Rebel, and not just because that's the aesthetic of his dorm. Being that he is highly intelligent and demonstrates a lot of foresight, he'd be aware of what future is in store for him and aggressively fighting against that. It would make him more desperate than ever to prove his worth, because not only does everyone see his powers as terrifying, but they also see him as a future brother murderer and dictator that will bleed the land dry of resources. It'd make the situation with his family even more strained than it already is, not to mention the extra jealousy he must feel toward Cheka, who is still too young to understand what's going to happen later.
Azul is someone who acts like a Royal but is actually a Rebel. He acts polite and like he plays by the rules, but clearly he doesn't behind the scenes. I see Azul as the kind of Rebel akin to Duchess Swan... as in, he believes he can steal away someone else's destiny for himself. Azul would constantly be looking for loopholes to save himself. He's put way too much stock into becoming a better, stronger person and he'd want to defend this new life he has made for himself. His obsession with protecting his contracts could translate well here.
Kalim is a Royal because he's mega rich and has been sheltered from the concept of bad things that happen to normal people; he has nothing to worry about. It also helps that Kalim is twisted from a character that doesn't meet a bad ending. I think he'd be aware of Jami's doomed destiny, but Kalim is so ignorant that he thinks it'll just be fine and it'll work itself out. Part of his growth could be being forced to reckon with the reality that Jamil is suffering under the legacy assigned to him and accepting the role that he plays in that by not acting.
Idia is a Royal--or at least pre-book 6 Idia is. He's a very pessimistic guy and repeatedly expresses hopelessness about the future, bemoaning the curse he and his family have to bear. Idia doesn't want to try to fight his fate, he's already accepted that it will happen and so closes himself off from others to save himself that heartbreak. Post-book 6 Idia will have swapped over to the Rebel side thanks to Ortho reviving the hope in him.
Vil is a Rebel simply for the fact that he fights social conventions. He's already out here shattering gender roles, but finds it much harder to breach that expectation that villains are just villains and nothing more. Vil keeps getting rejected at every turn, told that it's impossible to rewrite his story, that his frustrations are the natural result of jealousy and an ugly heart that festers in side of him. He steels himself to prove that notion wrong, working himself to the bone to get up on that stage and stay on it, waiting to be lavished with praise that he truly is the fairest one of all. I feel this would be so fascinating for Vil's own arc about self acceptance; maybe he wears himself down emotionally because he HAS to basically be perfect due to his job but also denies himself normal feelings like anger and jealousy because confessing that you have such "ugly" feelings only validates that you're shallow just like the stories say you will be.
Malleus is a tough one, but I settled for Royal in the end. Maleficent is doomed to be slain by a sword, right? So am I saying that THE Malleus Draconia, who is infamously arrogant about his magical abilities, would lie down and take a stab like that? Of course not! However, I do think that Malleus is initially someone who values tradition and living up to noblesse oblige. As the future ruler of a nation, people's stories are relying on him to play his expected role out, which he'd be fully cognizant of. I also think Malleus would be afforded the luxury of not having to face his destiny as soon as his peers are due to his long life span. This is in part because the person destined to slay him doesn't come into his life for literally hundreds of years. Then when book 7 arrives, Malleus has to deal with his loved ones leaving and/or betraying him as well as the realization that this is his destiny: dying alone and unloved. That'd just break him.
ahdbiqwdbqwli I COULD TALK ABOUT THIS AU FOR FOREVER BUT I'LL CUT IT SHORT OR ELSE I'LL NEVER SHUT UP 😭
EAH has so many good characters and interesting storylines, it's hard for me to pick a favorite! I of course love Apple and Raven's dilemmas, but I feel like it's cheating to pick one of them as my favorite. The whole Wonderland gang is also fantastic... I'm a sucker for their aesthetic, but they're so fun and silly in general. Kitty, Lizzie, and especially Madeline are 👌
Mmm, when I think long and hard about it, I think my favorite EAH character has to be Briar Beauty, daughter of Sleeping Beauty. Firstly, I love all the pink, roses, and bramble in her design. Secondly, I love the layers to why she is the way she is. Briar's a party girl not because "lmao, wouldn't that be a funny haha subversion of Sleeping Beauty" but because she wants to live life up before she falls asleep for 100 years and literally loses all her friends and family to the natural passage of time. That's seriously so smart and such an inventive way to think about the trauma a descendant of Sleeping Beauty might have. Seeing Briar transition from one of Apple's besties and biggest supporters to an outright rebel is satisfying as heck. (Gotta take a moment to shout out this classic moment :3)
I don't know if I would compare Briar to Jade since they're entirely different characters. However, looking at the source material, I'm actually surprised I like Briar as much as I do since I have never cared for the story of Sleeping Beauty. A part of me finds this ironic since Malleus harbors a similar fear as Briar (losing loved ones) yet I see Malleus's desire as way more selfish and self-serving than Briar's. I believe that's because Briar doesn't have the same arrogance as Malleus, so I'm more forgiving with her. EAH's actual equivalent to Malleus is Faybelle, daughter of the Dark Fairy, but I don't like her as much as I do Briar (hence why I'm comparing Malleus and Briar, not Malleus and Faybelle).
I haven't read the EAH books but I want to one day! I'd prefer to borrow them since I don't have enough space in my room for more physical books, so as soon as I find copies at a library or something...
This blog has kind of become a place where I occasionally talk about my other interests, generally as it relates to TWST, my main interest. I'd like to keep it like this since managing multiple blogs can be so draining. It already takes quite a bit of time to regularly write responses to asks just on one blog!

Cupid doesn’t have a destiny nor is she really even considered a fairytale in that world. She herself says she’s a “Myth”, which would make sense considering everyone in Ever After High is hyper aware that they’re apart of stories, while where Cupid comes from, the Monsters/normies exist by themselves and are very real.
Greek tales usually have a protagonist conquering and defeating a monster like the Minotaur, Medusa, Hydra, or the Chimera, all of which are in MH (Cupid was born a monster, hence why she attended Monster High and no other gods [The daughter of Poseidon is seen chilling in the Great Scarrier Reef]; gods do not deviate from one specific story and therein have no reason to follow or repeat one, hence why they also are not in Ever After High)
It’s also assumed, outside of King Midas, all Greek Myths are in Monster High or in that realm, however it is seen that Greek Gods are in Ever After (given Mount Olympus in seen on the map of EAH), they simply don’t attend the school and are rare to come across.
Now when it comes to the actual religion, Ever After High doesn’t do things that differently from other media that has Greek Gods/Myths in them. It’s just the fact that MH and EAH are two completely separate realms. In MH, Greek Mythos is very much real, while in EAH, they’re perceived as stories because everyone in that world is a story.
Myths and Deities were used to explain real world phenomenons and how the world was formed/works. They are inherently stories. Stories that were passed down from people to people. You could find a book of Greek Mythos in a store (my sibling has a ton of them). The Odyssey is a book. Cupid used the fact she wasn’t from this world to justify her existence as being from a Myth. An accepted form of folklore/literature, which other fairytales deviate from.
Now Religion is really weird in Ever After High to begin with, several of the Grimm tales featured the Devil or Christianity yet it is completely absent from any character in EAH. It’s just assumed that the Greek Gods are worshipped in the MH realm (given how there are regular humans + a literal statue of Cupid) and are seen as fiction in the EAH realm given how every character is fictitious.
Cupid is a huge outlier in EAH and didn’t originate there to begin with, simply put gods and other beings can travel dimensions (See Astranova and all the cut content from the EAH x MH Crossover) and are perceived differently.
Sorry for going on a tangent I completely derailed this post.
ID KILL FOR A FAYBELLE/CUPID STORY ON MY HANDS AND KNEES!!!!!!!
(tl;dr Mattel is doing what most other people do and include gods in their franchises and treats them as fictitious beings playing off of the very real myths they deviate from. Which especially happens the most to Greek Gods/Mythos)
Just read fairy’s got talent
Faybelle internally: fuck, i hate this stupid pink bitch. What the fuck is a demigoddess???
Cupid internally: hmm i wonder if i can convince that cute goth cheerleader fairy to make out with me
#eah#ever after high#mh#monster high#c.a cupid#yeah its#its a lot#greek mythology#gets reimagined all the time and will continue to be perceived that way#it just gets complicated when you put these myths in a world where fairytales exist#again#Cupid is an outlier and the only other one we see outside of King Midas and the Phoenix (which is in MH too btw)#I don’t know what Mattel is doing really

It’s a cutie patootie! 💕🦇🖤 I gave her a gothic lolita (not the book- it’s a fashion from an entirely different region of the world) Victorian inspired fashion along with some European features! If Dracula can be depreciated as having a hook nose, then she should be allowed to have one too! AAA I’m so proud of this design she turned out SO cute! 😊🫶
About her! 💕:
Romanian, European
Panromantic (Pan & Ace spec.)
Sweet, Bubbly, empathetic & sensitive
Grew up a spoiled, sheltered rich girl
Vegetarian
Hopeless romantic (and enjoys reading flowery, sappy romances)

TORRANCE, Calif. — Aug. 27, 2024 — Marvelous USA today revealed Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma for the Nintendo Switch™ system and Windows PC via Steam, debuting the first official trailer on today’s Nintendo Direct livestream and announcing a Spring 2025 release window. This next-level offering is the latest entry in the popular action-RPG and life-simulation series, and introduces players to the lands of the east for the first time in franchise history with Japanese-inspired visuals and new twists on familiar themes and gameplay elements.

youtube
Ravaged by the effects of the Celestial Collapse and the cessation of power provided by the runes, the eastern lands of Azuma are a shadow of their prosperous past. Weakened by corruptive forces, the gods of nature retreated from the world, leaving mountains to crumble and fields to wither. The people of Azuma seek aid against a blight that has swept these once-bountiful lands. One young hero enters into a contract with a dragon and sets out on a journey. “Accept the might of the Earth Dancer. Use this power to save the land.”
Guardians of Azuma takes players on an all-new adventure in the never-before-seen country of Azuma. Here, players will assume the role of an Earth Dancer destined to return hope—and life—to the once-thriving land. Choose from one of two protagonists whose fates are closely tied together, and experience reimagined and expanded Rune Factory gameplay; as Earth Dancer, players will farm with grace, restore and build entire villages, and fight with new weapons like the Bow and Talisman. Azuma is a vast world to explore with majestic villages to uncover, each taking inspiration from Japanese culture and each with a seasonal theme. In addition to exploration, combat, and village-building, players will also cultivate relationships with the locals, recruiting them to your side in battle or to help manage the villages. Wield sacred treasures of the gods and the Earth Dancer’s power of dance to purify the land and return Azuma to its former glory. The adventure of a new world awaits.
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma Key Features:
Bold New Abilities and Weapons: As an Earth Dancer, use the power of dance, sacred treasures, and fresh weapons like the Bow and Talisman to purify the land, farm, and undo the Blight’s damage.
It Takes a Village: Don’t just mind the farm—rebuild entire villages! Construct and place buildings strategically to entice people to return to the villages and contribute. Revive the gods to bring vitality and valuable resources back to the plagued lands.
Your Fantasy Japanese Life: Experience beautiful Japanese-inspired character designs and aesthetics—from festivals to events to monsters. Explore Azuma’s natural landscapes and its seasonal-themed locales steeped in tradition.
Classic Romance and Relationships: Choose between male and female protagonists, then befriend or romance any of the eligible candidates—god and mortal alike—in fully voiced scenarios. Recruit these new friends to aid in dynamic battles, too!
Pre-orders for the Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma “Earth Dancer Edition” will be available soon via the Marvelous USA store and at participating retailers for an MSRP of $99.99. This stunning collection comes in a custom outer box featuring awe-inspiring art of a battle high above Azuma, and includes a physical copy of the game, an original soundtrack CD, an art book, an Azuma-inspired folding fan, the “Seasons of Love” DLC bundle, additional DLC costumes for your protagonists and their divine sidekick Woolby, and a plush Woolby keychain. The standard edition of the game will also be available to pre-order for an MSRP of $59.99. Details on digital editions and pricing will be announced later.

Seeing as so many people loved the pride piece, I felt like doing another big piece, this time for disability pride month because it and the folks it represents deserves so much more attention and respect.
Like with the pride piece, I feel monster high,whilst a bit better with including disabled and neurodivergent representation (especially in G3) more can definitely be done that i intend to do. For example as a rule of character design many of the undead characters (particularly the zombies and mummies) need mobility aids due to decaying muscle and connective tissue or simply including more ND characters (I do love G3 twyla but as an autistic woman myself I just wish she wasn't the only one yknow), anyways I hope you like this piece because its taken a lot of effort to complete,all likes,comments and what have you are very much appreciated and see you for some more art soon.
List of specific disabilities and the like are as follows:
Ghoulia is autistic and uses an ambulatory wheelchair, as well as this they use American sign language among other means to communicate with others due to difficulties verbally communicating.
Sloman has Amblyopia (lazy eye) uses a mobility cane and like ghoulia and many other zombies he uses ASL.
Cleo requires a cane.
Twyla is Autistic and selectively mute.
Meowlody has Adhd.
Operetta is blind/deaf in her right eye and ear, and has episodes of disorientation and dizziness due to a malformed cochlea.
Frankie is Autistic,as well as having an artificial right leg and knee they use crutches as an ambulatory aid.
Jackson and Holt are Audhd and is a Co-consciousness system (ie. One can hear the other when they are in control and vice versa).
