Day 26: Eldritch

Previous/Next

(prompt list here!) + sketch and my thoughts abt this design bellow :3

in my verse godhood, and how it physically shapes/alters you, depends a lot on your perception of the self! this goes for everything but especially the eldrich forms

okay so they are translucent in many places bc they are unsure of/in their godhood! not in their capabilities but in having it in the first place. in time they will learns and it will melt away to bone

they ARE sure in Narinder's godhood tho, so the traits that they share are very solid (example being the hands and heart. narilamb sharing heart my beloved concept)

okay wings! bc we have them in game obviously, but also bc they are very big on protection and it manifested like that

the three eyes are a staple of the red crown specifically, but the rest are born from their need to witness it all. Lambert missed the culling of their kin bc they were born at the end of it and now they wish to see it all

sword... bc uuuuuuu i like it! and critters in their wool bc i think its funny

it doesn't show much here but their mouth opens like a snake!

and lastly, Nyx (my alternative version of the lamb) has a very different form

I just watched House of 1000 Corpses and I really want to get back into making paper mache masks for ritual purposes.

[the-inkstained-witch]

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ daily veiling ritual ｡･:*˚:✧｡

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

you can start the ritual already wearing your veil, holding the material you veil with, or do the ritual while tying it on.

when using this ritual, I follow the belief that: fire is the element of the south and rules the physical air is the element of the east and rules the mental earth is the element of the north and rules the spiritual water is the element of the west and rules the emotional

facing one of the cardinal directions (I start with south) recite the following: "I call upon the element of [element] in the [direction] to protect me from [type of protection] harm."

this would look like: "I call upon the element of fire in the south to protect me from physical harm."

then set your intention for how you want it to protect you, for example: "protect me from illness and dangerous situations."

then turn to face a new direction and repeat. the direction you choose to turn can also correspond with whether you want to attract (clockwise) or banish (counterclockwise.)

once you are done calling upon protection from all four elements, you can finish with "so mote it be," "blessed be," or whatever other prayer or mantra you want to use.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

this is the ritual I use every day and obviously will not work for everyone! protection is the main purpose of my veiling, if you veil for modesty, devotion, or any other reason(s), this might not fit for you. feel free to modify this ritual however you'd like to make it work for you, and let me know if you do, I'd be very curious to hear!

And so I imagine a bachelorette party w my gals my best friends right. Then I just burst into tears

[not-poignant]

Hearing in ch 15 of Palmarosa Raphael saying 'Hopefully you won't even meet my father'. Right away I thought how has your past run of luck been lately? With today's excerpt, it's continuing exactly the same way. He keeps rolling ones.

Raphael's definitely the one rolling 1s at the moment.

Astarion's doing okay. I'd say he's rolling low-to-mid at the moment. After all, if he'd rolled a 1 with Verillius he'd be dead. Heck if he'd rolled beneath a 10 he probably would have been tortured and sexually assaulted. And if he rolled a 1 with that ritual Raphael did, he'd be dead. (He probably rolled like a 7 with that ritual. Enough to survive, but not without significant 'I need your best potion please' damage).

So far he's still alive, and they're definitely playing a few 'Instant Death / You Have Died' scenarios right now!

But Raphael's not doing so hot, honestly. I think he's on a 1-6 streak.

Ask me if I think you're ordinary Does it bore me just standing in this cemetery
