On Demons
If you ask any denizens of the New World about how many moons there are, the answer is so easy you will get a few puzzled looks; clearly there is only one. But ask on the opposite part of the world, the Old World, and the answer may not be so simple.
Around two hundred and fifty years ago, what is now known as The Rise of the Second Moon occurred. Suddenly a new, bigger, redd-er moon rose from the horizon, and with it, unholy abominations started appearing. For the first time in ages, mortal races and dragonkind had to fight together to repel the outwordly creatures, but it wasn't an easy fight.
The creatures, named only "demons" for lack of a better word or understanding, didn't truly have a physical form, manifesting as plagues, thoughts, curses; extra-dimensional unable to be perceived unless already affected by them. Unable to affect them directly in any way, people from the Old World developed the first Seals: a way to constrain them in a physical space, usually using as a catalyst the purest form of one of the Divine Elements that build the world (Fire being the most common).
It took almost a decade, but Mortalkind was able to fend off the demonic invasion, putting in place the biggest Seal that has ever been made: Stopping the Second Moon's rotation permanently under the horizon, so it couldn't open its gate again. Without a way to send the demons already sealed back to where they came from, but understanding the huge power they possessed if released, the location of these seals it's an extremely well-kept secret and one that a lot of people hope it's been lost in time. Those seals can be everything, from buried cathedrals with a pool of Divine water buried in it's chapel, to small necklaces with a spark of pure fire inside them.
But unfortunately, that magic is old and outdated, and extra-dimensional beings are not easily restrained. And hundreds of years later, when people re-discovered those artifacts and tried to use their power, a new type of seal was made. Demons sealed within human bodies.
There are only a few corrupted mortals like that. Those are known as the Blue Death (Val, pictured first), The Wrathful One (Second Pic) and the White Wolf / King of Nightmares (not drawn yet)
#its me making silly little worldbuilding posts for fun!!! yippeee!!!!#the demons on my setting are some of my favorite OCs ever because if what entails to be one#the whole extra dimensional being and its relationship with human nature#and the moon(s) being a gate to other dimensions#They corrupt and warp flesh to resemble the most prevalent feeling of their host.#more on the future maybe??? but atm im busy writing stuff about sundown#worldbuilding#setting: old world#oc#original character

laios when his party needed more members:
#eliot posts#dunme#delicious in dungeon#dungeon meshi#laios touden#toshiro nakamoto#though i suppose this samurai was less hired and more just dragged along lmao#toshiro (and his team's) existence within this setting absolutely tickles me#bc the setting is so like. Standard Ambiguously Old Timey European Fantasy Setting#and then there just. is a samurai there.#it makes absolute logical sense if you think about it#like yeah of course a world that includes many continents will have more than just Fantasy Europe#but nonetheless seeing a samurai and a knight side by side in the same story is such a genre twist#(i hope no one has made this joke before lol it feels too obvious)

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol
#wax seal#crafts#wax stamp#stationery#Window one is kind of stinky.. I was imagining like a swirly night sky sort of looking thing so it would be a surreal contrast of a night#sky with a window in the middle that shows a daytime sky - but the silver and purple wax kind of mixed too much together#with the black and it just looks very plain black and not all that starry or anything hjbhj.. Of course the eye is probably my favorite#since all I ever do is draw eyes and still like eye imagery for some reason. The four leaf clover is very lumpy and skrunkty but also it wa#the smallest in size out of all of them so was easier to do multiple stamps of just to try it out.#The heart with eyes wax is actually more swirly in person. I wanted it to be a mix of light pink and red and white. and the wax#did kind of all blend together but in person you can definitely see MORE of the intentional swirlyness. in this it just looks plain pink.#I was going to do one eye in the heart but it looked weird. but now two seems too plain. i could have done 3?? in a pattern.. hmm#alas. I wish I could make actual metal ones. With the clay i have to paint them in a thin layer of olive oil before stamping because#otherwise the wax just kind of gets stuck in the grooves of the clay and then you can't pull it up. Very wacky ''unprofessional'' looking#set up where I'm hot gluing circles of sculpey clay to short stumps of a wooden dowel that I sawed apart with a serrated bread knife#and then using an old paintbrush to put olive oil on them whilst holding a spoon over a yankee candle flame hjbjh#ANYWAY.. I think if I were middle class/rich/etc. this would be one of the main things in my crafting room is like.. SO many colors#of wax. and all different custom made stamps designed by me. which could be much more elaborate in actual metal.. muahaha.... >:)c#RHGghhh... I actually don't want to talk much about it since (this is probably just my Obsessed With My Own World Artist Delusions) I#think I have a really cool idea for a game that could genuinely be successful if i ever get to make it and I don't want to give#everything away and spoil the whole plot/concept in hopes that one day I can actually do it - BUT - a game that I'd like to make after the#visual novel I'm making now has partially to do with the main character working as a sort of writer/scribe/artist assistant in an elven#city (set in my world/with my worldbuilding species and versions of elves and etc) and I was thinking of maybe incorporating#somehow being able to collect little writing type items like these like.. you can get different wax seal patterns or pens or etc. when I do#stuff like this in Real Life it always makes me think of that like.. ouh... this is good research.. what it shall be like to be a littol#elf collecting wax seals and such.. indeed... GRR i need to be finished with my current game NOWWW... i MUST work on other#thingss... aughh... ANYWAY.. yay. accomplishment to do One Single Thing other than Sit In The Summer Heat And Rot#though also hilarious as this was the first cool-ish day that was below 80F in a while hgvh#waking up like 'wow.. i actually feel okay today?? like I could do things?? how mysterious.. I wonder why..?? :0'' Its The Weather You Fool#Tis Always The Weather

been watching new vegas
#acedraws#fallout new vegas#joshua graham#courier#so theres this mormon .#i rlly love post apocalyptic settings w established societies like metro and fallout#seeing how civilization persisted (albeit in a decrepit manner) w new customs and old traditions that survive is so interesting to me#how old world structures are repurposed for the new dead world..#like the metro systems or how society mirrors the old world like new vegas#more interesting than outbreak apocalypse stuff like the walking dead#theres a bleak hope and comforting normalcy in the face of ruin present only in metro n vegas

soliloquy
(edit once again i drew something with my ipad screen brightness too high and now that i've posted it nothing is visible. sad!)
#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#kim dokja#art i made#sort of a quick lighting study i suppose??????#can't really explain this one i just keep thinking about#i dont remember if i ever talked about it on here but for my theatre studies performance project last semester i set up the lights so like#for one scene me and my groupmate would have 2 spotlights on us and after his character dies his light goes out and then its just#me with the spotlight and i didnt realise how fucking dark the lecture theatre would be with no lights on and i swear to god#for like those 3 minutes it really felt like nothing else existed in the world except me and that spotlight#genuinely one of the most haunting emotional experiences i ever had. idk i think about it a lot#there was an old post i saw a while back about how theatre is the best medium for portraying loneliness and its like. i watched a recording#of the tempest a few years back and that last scene of prospero alone on stage addressing the audience? yeah#anyway. time for somethig more respectable (mizisua angst) (?????)

Headcanon that Zestial is very, very, VERY attached to both cloak and top hat. Whereas on the rare occasions he will remove his cloak while at the Carmine residence, his hat is firmly attached to his head at all times. It would be a full on fight trying to get the thing off his head, and another to keep it away from him 😂 Not even Carmilla has seen his unhatted head.
#zestmilla#zestial morde#zestial#carmilla carmine#carmilla#headcanon#fanfic#hazbin hotel#man will go down swinging for his hat#you thought husker being attached to his alcohol was bad#Zestial takes it to a whole nother level with his hat#I have to wonder what’s under it#is he bald?#old man comb over?#surprising luscious hair that he has to hide for whatever reason?#two other sets of eyes since he’s a spider demon?#the world may never know#but I certainly want to

Been reading through Howl's Moving Castle for the first time and Howl himself is just an entirely different dude. Miyazaki said "oh fuck this guy" and made an OC
#hes welsh also? like hes from modern day wales. he has a car and makes video games for his nephews#thats where the ominous black void leads to. fucking wales.#the two book series I've read in the past 4 years are set in ye olde fantasy worlds that have portals to regular-ass britain

me, looking at the most toxic, awful, horrendously unhealthy fictional relationship in the world: why can't i have what they have? :(
#remind me of how easily you could kill me then say i won't die until you let me#you insult me and I'll insult you and we'll both know each other so unfathomably well that every word is a finely tuned blade#we'll kiss and you'll draw blood and I'll think of you every time i feel the bite mark#in every universe we find each other and we hate each other and we want each other more than we can say through words#tell the world i'm yours while i glower with reverent loathing#every conversation we have is poison#we twist and distort each other until there's nothing left but two shattered halves of a one way mirror#I'll hold you tightly like you're the only thing that matters#we'll slowly settle into a sort of rancid dependent domesticity#and set out to ruin each other until even those jagged shards turn to dust#(apologies reader of these tags#the “you” i'm referencing isn't referring to you personally#or you generally#i'm just cooking up more motivation to write sdhdjshdj)#(oh! also- please note the use of FICTIONAL#this is all just imagination loll)#why yes this is about#toxic old man yaoi#however did u guess#also just general#toxic yaoi#toxic yuri#but ykkkk#I watched one too many animatics#billford#hahahaaa who said thatttt not meeee hahaaaa#they ruined me#oh also-#pureshadow
