Tw- war (if you're not here, keep reading and get triggered. Take a moment of your time to feel uncomfortable)

The best thing about this war is that in a while a bunch of ao3 fanfic authors will be like "hey guys sorry you didn't get updates for a while, my country is at a war and some of my family members and friends were brutally murdered, my house was bombed, and while it all happened I got death threats online and saw people I trusted praising the terrorist organisation that did it all. So sorry I wasn't online, I had many funerals to go to, but here's to your weekly dose of smut-"

Demon Shen Jiu is such a fun idea though.

Especially if he himself doesn't know. Like imagine, Yue Qi finds this abandoned baby and the baby is REALLY OBVIOUSLY not human. But this also enables Shen Jiu to survive being abandoned at such a young age -- a human baby would die without adequate nutrition or care, but demons are a little more resilient. Baby Demon SJ has a way more forgiving digestive system and can move under his own power from a much earlier age. By the time he's a year old he's hunting his own rodents and small birds, and has to be stopped from biting and mauling anyone he doesn't like. Which is most people. Qi-ge develops amazing reflexes.

Why do the slavers tolerate a demon baby hanging around? Maybe it's really not all that uncommon. Demons come across the borderlands from time to time, and are as liable to abandon their kids or die or etc as anyone else. It's maybe an open secret among slavers that demon-blooded kids are a better investment, even, because they can survive for longer on less. The only downside is if they don't ever look human enough to pass as human, because that limits potential buyers, but that's only relevant when the slavers are trying to sell them. For the purposes of having a network of street kids stealing and grifting and spying and etc, it's fine. A lot of the slavers themselves started out as demon-blooded street kids with no other options.

But in SJ's case, he pretty quickly starts passing as human. Mostly because he's quite strong, and he's convinced that he's the same as his Qi-ge, so he makes himself the same. Makes his hands look the same and his teeth look the same and etc. It's largely subconscious, and once he starts doing it, it becomes automatic. SJ forgets that he's a demon in the way that most people don't retain their earliest childhood memories -- although he remembers that some of the slavers were demons.

Then of course there's the question of why didn't the Cang Qiong cultivators notice?

A few options. One is that whatever kind of demon SJ is, it's really good at mimicking humans. Another is that he's only part demon, and like Luo Binghe, fully capable of handling both kinds of cultivation. So once he starts learning spiritual cultivation, even from a heretic like Wu Yanzi, he doesn't seem different from any other recruit with a patchy education on the subject. Anything else odd about him could be easily attributed to his exposure to Wu Yanzi and his wicked practices.

Although full demon SJ is a fascinating idea. (Also, it could contribute to all those qi deviations -- he's trying to cultivate AND "fake" human cultivation at the same time, I doubt Qing Jing's techniques are totally compatible with everything going on there even without the psychological turmoil.) Like I'd imagine Airplane wrote that SJ was abandoned on the streets as a baby, and the system was like "hmm he probably wouldn't survive that?" and then in some nine billionth wife arc, Airplane also creates a variety of demon that can fully pass as human (for some identity conflict with a prospective wife), even to the point of fooling human cultivators and demon-detecting tools. So the system just ties these two disparate pieces of world-building together in order to patch a critical plothole (Airplane doesn't know anything about babies). Which has the side effect that Shang Qinghua doesn't even know that SJ became a demon!

And SJ himself doesn't know. The only person who knows is Yue Qi.

Obviously this wouldn't come up much in PIDW, but it could be pretty funny in the SVSSS timeline. YQY just sitting there through the whole Luo Binghe being a half-demon reveal, wondering if he should say something. Subsequently being the most absolutely chill about the whole demon reveal thing anyway. Like he's definitely not upset that Luo Binghe is a demon, or part demon, and the multiple people who try to make a point about it just run afoul of his impenetrable smile and get nowhere.

Then eventually Yue Qingyuan decides that he should probably tell Bingqiu that Shen Qingqiu is a demon. For like, safety purposes if nothing else. He's kept the secret so long also for safety purposes (even if someone put Shen Qingqiu under a truth compulsion he wouldn't be able to admit to being a demon, because he himself doesn't know!), and he's done tons of stuff to prevent anyone ever finding out (although Xiao Jiu is so talented that he didn't have to do much), but Luo Binghe is the demon emperor. That changes things. If Shen Qingqiu is going to be visiting the demon kingdoms regularly then there's a chance something could reveal the truth unexpectedly, and that would probably be worse.

So Yue Qingyuan sits down and has a very serious discussion with Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe about how Shen Qingqiu is actually a demon, was just the cutest little demon baby in fact, here he drew a picture from memory of what Xiao Jiu used to look like before he learned to look more human, and also how a lot of slave kids and slavers and people who fall through the cracks in society have demon ancestry, some more recent than others, and Shen Qingqiu always retained a certain discomfort around his own kind because of the adult slavers who sold him off, and etc etc.

Spider Queen - spider legs accessory

I needed spider legs for my version of Wenduag, and I found a perfect set, but they happened to only have 4 legs for some reason. So I did a quick little edit, and I figured I might as well share them in case anyone else needs some arachnid accessories for their spooky sims.

Details:

Edit of Natalia Auditore's spider legs, and requires her mesh.

Found in rings (middle finger, left).

Custom thumbnail.

All 17 original swatches, plus 1 bonus swatches that I made for my Wenduag sim.

Like with the original mesh, the legs move with the clavicle joints, including the lower legs. This means that the lower legs might "float" off the body in poses with the clavicles raised significantly. This was a problem with the original mesh, and I'm not skilled enough with weights to fix it easily, so I left it as-is. But the majority of poses look just fine.

I'm never going to charge for my poses or cc, but if you'd like to help out an unemployed student, you can leave a tip at my ko-fi.

the worst part about netflix dmc was that they had these gorgeous devil trigger designs to take inspiration from and they literally picked the most boring, unimportant and uninspired idea ever instead. like whatttt

it’s so unbelievable to me that they genuinely didn’t try to make dante look like an actual devil. and i get it, they didn’t really try for ANY of the demons in the show—they wanted so badly to humanise them—but it’s still such a missed opportunity.

i understand that they definitely took more inspiration from his regular DT in dmc4 and 5 which would be all fine and dandy if they had at least TRIED with the details, and didn’t make him look so??? off-putting?? i don’t know. the design just doesn’t fit dante or dmc in general at all, it’s almost childish-looking.

like… why??

maybe i’m just picky and far too attached to the original aesthetic of dmc

Nightwing crouches at the edge of one of Bludhavens tallest buildings, watching the streets with a pair of binoculars, back hunched and seeming more gargoyle than vigilante.

Deathstroke pads out from the shadows, the older man confident as he looks down at the hero: Truly fucked up this time kid...heard from a little bird that one Richard Grayson is in some deep shit...the offer still stands. Come with me. Let go of those silly set of rules and live a little...I remade the Red X suit...

Nightwing turns, and Slade realizes two things at once, Dick Grayson preferred to be closer to street level...and that he wanst that bulky.

Bruce, dressed as Nightwing and covering Bludhaven to let Dick have a date night, staring at Deathstroke as he stands and pulls out the escrima sticks: Come the fuck again?

Slade Wilson, realizing now that...Oops that's batman: Now wait there a second...you have a no kill rule Batman...

Bruce, filled with even more murderous rage: If I get you and the Joker my sons will love me again...you have a 3 second head start...

Concept for a tail for dmc3 Vergil + Force Edge DT(?)

"It is know that their bone structure is made of some kind of metal, as seen by their horns, teeth and even some parts of their rib cage bursting out of their skin. Most curious however, it seems that their spine is made of a completely different material, judging by the two protrusions springing out of the back of their necks" - 1/2

"It is theorized that significant events that happen with half-humans can have a influence on their half-demons appearance. The most compelling proof of that is Vergil, who despite the short time in possession of his father's sword, was able to create a whole new limp just for the purpose of handling it, while letting his hands free to use the Yamato as usual." - 2/2

since hydra being cryogenic/running at colder temperatures than most trains is a fairly popular headcanon, id imagine that he also prefers cold weather and conditions heavily over hot ones.

that being said when he and tassita cuddle, tass (who has an air conditioning feature in his system because he carries people) has himself run a little colder than usual for hydra and he adores it

I Know What You Are... You Are Mega Man!

The differences between each Mega is something I love and appreciate, plus it's also fun to compare them side-by-side for it.

I think it's really amusing how they start with robots that slowly reach near-human traits, and then there's a straight-up human. Albeit, he is merged with a non-human being.

And then there's Volnutt. I know he could probably be narrowed down to an "artificial human", but I like the idea of tying him to his celestial origins as Trigger that are still half a mystery.

Such is my running-joke with him. He is just... Volnutt (currently).
