Prompt 137

 What happens after a Halfa dies? What happens when their bodies of flesh can no longer hold the power of their soul? What happens when they’re no longer alive despite the fact they can never truly die?

 What happens when their soul finishes incubating in its cocoon of meat and bone that’s warped and twisted over an immeasurable amount of time? When the soul leaves a body that refuses to stay down because death is not an option? 

 What happens when a Halfa finishes incubating in their first form, and splits? What happens when mortals not understanding what they’re doing in their hubris, causes one to do so early?

Opening up the first day of 2024 with that one Meme that's shown up on my feed now and then. TWST and FFXIV, my top two favorites things and my top two favorite noodle bois.

More dnd writing because it's all I have but I here's a snippet from a vignette I did of Rook's past (from Zara's POV), because Rook and his mentors never fails to make me sick (/pos).

[transcript under the cut]

Taking a coin out of her pocket, she rolled it across her knuckles, back and forth. It gave her hands something to do, and prevented the urge to bite her nails, something she hadn’t done in years. Ten minutes passed, then twenty. Zara began to pace as Rook’s breathing grew shakier and the color drained from his skin. Where the hells is Jay? she wondered. The room was so quiet that she could hear every tick of the small clock on her bedside table, and each one echoed in her head. How many ticks does he have left? She didn’t want to think about it.  She’d had crew members die before, of course. You don’t go as many years as a captain as she had and never lose a soul. But all the others who had died had died quickly, in combat. She’d mourned for all of them, even shed tears in private, but there was something different about watching the life drain out of a person right in front of your eyes.

Ok this is going to sound insane but I believe this is the only way for tes6 to actually be good:

We need every game that bethesda makes between now (including starfield) and tes6 to flop hard. Hard enough to put them in serious financial jeopardy without microsoft, but not hard enough that microsoft just deletes the entire studio. The golden zone here is that bethesda is forced to make a game with a budget of five (5) dollars.

Now you may be thinking "but oh wise and handsome pingin420, surely this is objectively terrible?". To which I say Nay! Was Morrowind not made with a budget of three (3) dollars?! The logical conclusion is clear - bethesda games are better when they're broke as fuck.

Of course theres one more ingredient here. The current head writer at Bethesda is Emil Pagliarulo. We need to get this man on drugs. He needs to have some full on spiritual experiences before they release tes6. This shit has gotta be weird.

We also need less voice actors. With your help, all the lines in tes6 can be voiced by 1.75 people.

Naysayers will say such things as "morrowind wasnt actually made with 3 dollars!" and "trying to recreate the conditions that produced morrowind is a futile and pointless endeavour" and "this entire idea is stupid" and "you should have gone to bed 2 hours ago!"

Poor Nighthawk. His company's chief executive has been secretly running the sons of the serpent this whole time! I guess this is what happens when nighthawk was so bored by business that he let other people do it unsupervised, but it's also sad and super sympathetic! I bet batman never has a story as interesting as this! (Defenders #25):

💎Sea Serpent Lore💎

Sea Serpents are known to be legends among merfolk from all across the oceans, lakes and rivers.

The Sea Witch was belived to have lived in the fossilized body of a dead leviathan that had been hollowed out.

Other than a slight connection with the lore of the sea witch, many merfolk have heard tales long ago that the serpents ruled the seas with fericious power.

Their roars summon whirlpools and hurricanes that decimate ships. Even the waves bow to their sheer might, tsunamis were to be expected by towns who live near the shore long ago.

The phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle was used among the sailors to avoid a certain part of the ocean. It just so happened to be the area where sea serpents lived in.

Nowadays it is still avoided, though no sea serpents were spotted on the surface waters, storms are still prevalent in that area that it becomes dangerous to traverse through.

💎Serpent Kingdom💎

The Serpent Sea is home to the serpent merfolk, it is located in the deepest depths where the sun does not reach. It is very dangerous for those who aren't used to deep waters.

Not to mention the water pressure can be dangerous for non-deep water merfolk.

Though Cerule visits Azul, she always has bodyguards or her father was around as they leave the depths.

She is never allowed to explore the depths on her own!

Without bioluminescence, you can’t find your way in the dark. Even if you do acquire a light source, you would be a beacon for any rogue sea creatures itching for a meal.

Hence why some merfolk regard serpents as fearsome and even dangerous because they can live there in the depths.

But the stereotypes about serpents aren’t entirely true. The serpents are much more intelligent and have an entire community that is much like any other merfolk community.

Albeit you have to get past the danger and darkness to know.

The kingdom of the serpents can be accessed through a large hole in an oceanic trench. You would have to navigate past maze-like tunnels that are confusing and would lead to dead ends if you are not careful. 

There are even deep sea creatures who will ambush those unsuspecting prey that passes by their tunnel. Serpents know to flash warning lights to scare them off and if they persist then they will simply fend them off.

Such is the way of the darkest depths.

Upon reaching the entrance to the kingdom, it will be guarded by an enormous lobster. The shell is dark as the cave walls making it blend in perfectly for an ambush. And not to mention the shell is strong as volcanic rock, so any firepower made by man or even magic couldn’t do much damage.

This is the guardian of the entrance, and only serpents were permitted to enter and exit.

So, even if you were to try and get past the darkness and find the entrance, without a serpent escorting you, this creature would end you within moments.

The residents of the kingdom lovingly call him, “Levi”.

The actual kingdom is very unusual, there is a large air pocket that is held by a spire-like structure naturally formed in the center. It has been hollowed out to be used as a stairway and fortified with minerals to keep it sturdy. 

The spire is NOT the throne however. It’s located below the spire, in a very deep yet large cavern illuminated by bioluminescent jellyfish, algae and even crystals. The throne room is not the typical fancy chair often seen with royals. 

It is the room where the royals reside, there they lay at the bottom coiled around the flat surface of their dwelling. There is a dome made from a gigantic conch shell that is used to keep the eggs or hatchlings safe. 

The structure of the throne room is less of aesthetic and more of functionality, it keeps the babies safe from any intruder who managed to get past the guardian.

This is technically Cerule’s room and it has soft coral sponges for her bedding and a lot of trinkets she collects are stored there.

💎Two Kinds of Serpents💎

Serpents from the kingdom are more civil though a bit hesitant to socialize with those outside their home. The serpent royalty has only recently been making an effort to attend royal meetings to better their relations with other kingdoms.

Though there are also serpents who live outside the kingdom and they are known as "Rogue serpents".

They often clash with the kingdom serpents that leave either side with scars.

Rogues don't follow any rules and even their speech has become growls and roars. They don't follow the rules of the royals and sometimes would venture out of the depths to cause trouble.

But this only happens when food is scarce.

Also, sea serpents can either be carnivore or herbivore. One can tell by the type of sea creature their serpent form takes after. Anything that has sharp teeth or venomous properties are carnivores.

Those that don't are herbivores, though they are still as fierce as the carnivores they just don't like to fight that often.

Sometimes there can be a mix of the two appearance-wise but as for the diet, it can be either one.

💎Early Stages of Serpents💎

Sea serpents are hatched from eggs which are often plenty in number. The eggs are hatched in giant shells to keep them safe, all serpents would start to venture out of the kingdom to search for shells.

It is their instinct, the male risks his life in the depths to find them for his mate along with any food because the female has to stay and give birth to the eggs.

When they hatch the babies' tails are similar to that of an oarfish, only by reaching their puberty stage can they start to develop other features that mix with the oarfish ones.

Puberty also refers to gaining the ability to turn into their serpent form.

Cerule in this case still hasn't reached her serpent puberty yet as she still looks like an oarfish. But she does hope to have betta fish fins like her mother.

💎Royal Pearl Rites💎

Serpents who have reached puberty must undergo the passage of rite to venture out into the depths and obtain a pearl.

All serpents undergo this trial to prove their might and test their independence.

It is a long and very dangerous journey as they must swim outside their kingdom through the abyss and face other deep see terrors to reach the source of the pearl.

The serpents refer to it as the All Mother of Pearls. It is an enormous clam that has been living for centuries and produces magical pearls that serpent children need to retrieve in order to pass the rite.

The pearls are actually large and quite heavy which makes it difficult to swim back with. Not to mention it was also glowing which attracts unwanted attention.

Once they return with the pearl, they wear it on their forehead as a symbol of their strength and that they are free to leave their safe caverns without the aid of any parent.

Also, the pearls are naturally large but after it is attached to the serpent, it can shrink when they de-transform into a smaller size mermaid.

The pearls are also used to help the young seprents control their power when in serpent form, as they tend to lose a bit of control when transformed.

@delugedecade sent: "Darkest Gifs 9A : Twilight's black lipstick looks real nice along Jade's lamia shaft."

Darkest's Gifs: 9A

Twilight had to admit that when she accepted the request to hunt down the lamia in the region, she wasn’t totally prepared for what the lamia could do. It was supposed to be a giant snake monster, right? So she needed to be wary of poisons and being coiled…

No one had bothered to mention how gorgeous the lamia would be…or how she’d be sporting such a massive cock…or how her voice and eyes had such a soft, hypnotic…way…about…themmm…

“Mmm, that’s so good~” Jade purred, the lamia woman running her fingers through the sexy goth tiefling’s hair. Her eyes gleamed as she watched her bob back and forth, her dark-stained lips smearing her black lipstick up and down her shaft. “Oh yes~ you’re such a good girl~”

Twilight hummed around Jade’s cock, the lamia’s words making what little thoughts she had left in her mind swim with delight. She was a good girl, a good girl for her gorgeous new mistress! And she wanted to make her proud, to earn more of her praise.

Without hesitation, the Tiefling girl began to bob more desperately, gagging and slurping as she forced herself down to the base of Jade’s cock. The lamia woman gasped and moaned, fingers tangling in the girl’s hair as she held her down and bucked her hips firmly into her face.

“Oh fuck yes~! Mmm, fuck, you’re so good~” she moaned, and her lengthy serpentine body began to slowly coil around the Tiefling girl. “Mmm~ I’m definitely going to keep you for a ling, long time~”

Twilight couldn’t help but moan in delight at the promise, her eyes rolling back as she choked and gagged desperately around her cock. Just like the good little fuckdoll that she now was, and would be, for the rest of her life with her lamia mistress.

The particularly Jewish aspects of Death as a character

Are the metaphysical reasons for the animosity I give her with Lucifer Morningstar and the Silver City's constructs, because they are beings of Christian myth and they do not, as such, tend to welcome those that are specifically Jewish or for that matter rooted in paganism. Some of the pagan entities are collectively too powerful to be readily bullied, but they still don't like them and neither are they going to.

The Morningstar as I write them in a story from Death's point of view comes across as a being specifically rooted in Christian mythological tones, directly in line with the Lucifer side of Vertigo (which is among the reasons that I do not like it and why I give Lucifer's side of things a slight bit of a hard time). Death, equally, has the role as guide to souls to retrieve souls that changed their mind about their afterlife, which doesn't endear her to rulers of afterlife planes in general. They are all reluctant to see their kingdoms diminished by even a single soul.

But that animosity in say, Hades or the Aztec realm of the dead would unfold vastly differently to that of Hell (and she is the afterlife traditions of Biblical and Sumerian motifs and the Norse Hel, which is by no means the only afterlife for a Germanic pagan). The Christian aspects also influence strongly Lucifer's smug arrogance, an arrogance backed up by the very literal reality that only the Presence can corral his two eldest if they get rambunctious.

Arrogance with power to back it up is the most dangerous kind. While also contributing to the same ideological gulf as Death sees existence as something to engage with the world and other supernatural entities do not and do not want to.
