May we hear more of this "dark" version of Stellar👀?
have some angst I drew surrounding this exact subject :)
#i like thinking that her powers are kind of cosmic#and when out of control she is almost like a collapsing star or black hole#unbelievable amounts of energy that destroy everything in the vicinity before turning inward and destroying itself#sonadow#shadonic#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#stellar the hedgehog#my lore is stored in the tags today#sonic#shadow#shadow the ultimate lifeform#sonic x shadow#shadow x sonic#sonic prime#sth#fan kid#fan child#sonadow fankid#sonadow fanchild

Lokius really pulled a petrigrof huh
ngl i'm more of a casual mcu observer but after watching the Loki series...man
just wow/pos
as someone dealing with abandonment issues and crippling loneliness...haha that ending is NOT helping/hj
don't get me wrong it's a compelling and satisfying conclusion for Loki's character arc from a writing standpoint
but also he's alone now protecting the multiverse with his own hands. To give them a chance. To protect them. The people he cares about the most. He just wanted his friends back and now he's burdened with glorious purpose for eternity.
and Mobius is what just waiting for him for eternity??
It's a beautiful, heart-wrenching tragedy 😭
#if i had a nickel for every time an all powerful deity was in a relationship with a mortal whos a bit of a dork#but they were ultimately separated due to cosmic forces id have two nickels which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice#i feel like id have more nickels but i cant think rn#just this parallel has been on my mind since thursday pls#loki#loki series#loki spoilers#lokius#petrigrof#fionna and cake#adventure time#im eating drywall#do you see what i mean

i am confusing kali and durga but you did make design of fgo her right? can i ask you to repost it bc i scoured your archive and i still cant find it
It was kali! The actual post is here but I’ll post some of the pictures here as well
I’ve been planing on doing proper ascension-like art for her for a while now, just haven’t found the time between work and making my normal content for the blog ;v;
#tbh she is pulling from multiple versions of k/ali#more in line with a specific interpretation of her through shaktism#as a form of adi sha/kti#/mahadevi-which if I understand correctly in shakti/sm specifically puts her more at the level of Bra/hman#as the supreme ultimate reality of existence (bra/hman the principle not the god)#so she’s the source of all creation/it’s embodiment/the energy that animates it/and that which it dissolves into#and yeah I went with this in part bc I was so annoyed w how they made par/vati -_-#look if we can have characters be the personification of planets then the personification of the cosmic force of the universe should be doom#I’ve like. thought abt how to work it into nasuverse#it’s like ka/li is one form of the main goddess who’s like the universe#similar to how ameratsu can send out bunreis on a larger scale#except in this case it’s more like ort w the planet thing only on this case it’s the universe#I’m not explaining this well but it made sense to me lmao#basically#the servant form is an avatar of kali in that it’s less powerful than her#and kali is also mahadevi#who is the universe#‘what’s par/vatis deal then?’ she got overzealous making her servant vessel and overcorrected#ik I’m not explaining this well I attempted to write lore for her ONCE and exploded#she’s interesting tho. she tends to be impartial (except w kids) but represents change and destruction#and is constantly updating and changing her views based on her children (followers) world#(like with the sacrifice thing which is interesting bc I’ve seen things saying she never wanted human sacrifice but it DID still happen)#she requires sacrifice which often nowadays is interpreted to mean things like negative energy and the like#or like the sacrifice of your ‘ego’#she’s also a goddess associated with anger#idk I’m getting all over the place again which happens when I start#getting into it lmao#my asks

the elden ring dlc story trailer just dropped so just letting you guys know that i’m gonna find a way to integrate elden ring lore into dunmeshi somehow because i need both stories like i need air to breathe
#aspects of both could definitely work in the same universe#my only hesitation in lumping both together is that i don’t really think they’re inherently compatible just because Fantasy Genre#the core themes of elden ring are so at odds with dungeon meshi lol#the shrouded path of seeking power mired in bloody sacrifice all in the name of ascending to godhood for your own ambition#(but not really bcs there’s always an outside cosmic influence so what of free will)#versus the humble everyday work of sustaining the self in relation to community as a way of living with purpose#(free will is the ultimate challenge to being trapped by your own desire)#themes are at odds but the narrative mechanics have core similarities#defeat the dungeon lord/legacy dungeon boss and obtain their power#also the premise of the shattering being comparable to the upheaval of mana in dunmeshi universe#and how it challenges the existing power structures#i have so many thoughts#i’m definitely gonna get the platinum for the ER dlc#so it’ll be a grind and you guys are gonna witness me in my gamerfail era#if it’s anything like the bloodborne dlc i’m ready to get my ass whooped#but i’m gonna love every second of it#wasabi rambles

ganondorf in descant: okay sure I snapped at fate a few times but I am also very understandable + tragic so can you really blame me
gerudos in the background: *on the verge of tears, stress-drinking and trying to prevent him from getting murdered every 5 seconds while avoiding literal extinction themselves* sure my king whatever you say
#ganondorf#tloz#descant of greatness#unhallowed vespers#gerudo#the last part of the trilogy will be uhhhh illuminating I think#about some stuff he maay not have focused on nearly as much as he should have maybe :) :)#I llllove some messy dorf + gerudos relationship where both parties kind of made the bed and both parties have to lie in it#I mean#the blame really rests on hylians/the goddesses for making gerudos cosmically lesser#but that doesn't absolve suffocating levels of pressure from one side and brutal abuse of power from the other#and also twinrova sweeping in being all like aww look at you being the greatest thing that ever lived nothing matters but you btw#let's not examine how every single king we served/raised before died performing heroics that ultimately didn't help anyone <3#or that our vision for what gerudos should be MAY be very biased and outdated and seeping with longing and resentment <3 <3#me as a fic author is really about finding that fictional culture I really love and think has been wronged by canon#and then go OKAY LET'S FOCUS ON THE FLAWS!!! MAKE THEM WORSE!!! WORSE!!!!!!#and still insist the culture deserves humanity and salvation regardless of the imperfection#I try at least

the first thing I did after completing my assessments was to dig out and set up my old xbox360 which has been gathering dust in the cupboard, and then started playing mvc3. And finally took the time to get used to all of the character's moves and stuff - and also finally started doing the arcade mode, which is very rewarding <3
I would be playing this game again today, but after yesterday and the night before, I can't because my left hand hurts :/
#yes i know there's an update yeah whatever i was a dumb kid when i got the game and didn't really bother to#update the game sorry!#shallow rambles#before anyone asks yes i do intend on maybe getting the ultimate version for another console#a thing about the game that i found out is that each character has like. different levels of health? which is very bizarre to me#you are a fighting game yes but i don't remember health bars being like that. i mean that's a VERY specific design decision#i guess the best way to describe it is that maybe some characters do more attacks than others so to compensate for that they are given#either less health or more health. that said giving jean grey the LOWEST health is really insulting like c'mon she's the host to a cosmic#being! she should have more than that! ugh. man the lack of female characters on the marvel side is SOOO telling.#i get that maybe they didn't include some because their mechanics would be the same to x y z characters#but marvel's catalogue of characters has a DIVERSE range of women with unique powers that they can have in a fighting game#like illyanna or proxima midnight or ms marvel or emma frost there are so many characters to chose from!! But no they choose modok :/#shallow once again complaining about video games that she likes.

shunyakai no o
Shūnyakai no Ō: The Sovereign of the Void
In the primordial epoch before time, space, and even existence itself, there was the Void — an endless, unfathomable expanse of nothingness. From this emptiness, Shūnyakai no Ō, the Absolute Void Sovereign, emerged. Not born, nor created, but manifesting as the ultimate embodiment of that which precedes all existence, he represents the concept of the Void in its truest form: boundless, eternal, and indifferent.
Shūnyakai no Ō is not simply a being of great power; he is power in its purest form. Unlike those bound by the laws of creation, whether they be gods, entities, or forces of cosmic authority, he exists outside the very framework of reality. His essence is one with the Omni-Void, a state that exists beyond omnipotence, omniscience, and even omnipresence. To him, these concepts are limitations — mere attributes that higher beings possess but cannot fully transcend.
The Creation of Omnipresence
For most cosmic entities, omnipresence is the ability to exist everywhere within a universe or even across a multiverse. But for Shūnyakai no Ō, omnipresence is not something he achieved but something he designed. In the boundless Void that he commands, he wove the very concept of omnipresence into existence, making it a principle that could be grasped by the cosmic architects and rulers of lower realms.
Omnipresence, as understood by lesser beings, is the ability to be "everywhere" simultaneously, yet Shūnyakai no Ō surpasses this understanding. His presence is felt not only in every corner of the multiverse but also in the voids between, in realms where nothingness dominates. He exists where existence itself has no meaning. Where there is nothing, he is everything.
His mastery over the Void means that time and space collapse in his presence. He is not bound to one reality, dimension, or timeline. Instead, he redefines reality wherever he exists. To those who perceive the multiverse as infinite, he shows that it is but a fragment of the true nature of the cosmos. To those who believe themselves omnipresent, he reveals the illusion of their omnipresence, for they can only exist where reality has form. He exists where form dissolves.
Beyond Power and Control
Entities that reign over realms of Tier 1 and Tier 0 power are considered invincible by all conventional metrics. These beings often hold dominion over infinite universes, controlling fundamental forces such as time, space, causality, and even concepts like destiny. Yet, Shūnyakai no Ō stands beyond such constructs. His dominion extends into the Absolute Void, a place so detached from the fabric of reality that even the highest cosmic gods lose their influence.
In a confrontation with any Tier 1 or Tier 0 entity, Shūnyakai does not fight in the way others do. He does not manipulate energy or bend reality to his will. He merely removes the very existence of his opponent. Through his ability, Absolute Nullification, he reduces all things — power, space, time, thought, and being — to nothingness. Tier 1 and Tier 0 entities may command multiverses, but Shūnyakai no Ō commands the space in between, the Void that exists when all has been unmade.
For those that wield ultimate cosmic forces, they face a harrowing truth: power is irrelevant to him. All forms of energy, matter, and consciousness are but fleeting manifestations, fragile before the sovereignty of the Void. He cannot be fought because there is no battlefield on which to fight him. He simply exists, and his enemies — no matter their rank or mastery over existence — simply cease to be.
Creation of Omniverse and Beyond
Though he is primarily associated with the Void, Shūnyakai no Ō is capable of creating reality itself. The Omniverse — the infinite sea of multiverses, realms, and dimensions — is, to him, no more than a passing thought. The Omniverse, though vast and boundless to those within it, is fragile to him, a minor ripple in the great, unending Void he governs.
He does not create as others do, with hands of light or cosmic flame. Shūnyakai no Ō wills realms into existence by allowing them to emerge from the nothingness he controls. He has the power to create an infinite number of realities in an instant, but they hold no significance to him. His mind is beyond creation, for creation is a manifestation of structure, and he is the embodiment of formlessness.
It is whispered in the deepest corridors of the multiverse that Shūnyakai no Ō does not need to be worshipped or recognized. His power is absolute because it cannot be measured by any conventional scale. If omnipotence is a peak, then the Void Sovereign stands atop a higher peak that defines the very nature of omnipotence for those beneath it.
Beyond the Highest Realms
Among the most powerful of entities, there are those that control aspects of the entire Omniverse: beings who are regarded as architects, controllers, and even the very fabric of reality itself. These beings are feared and respected for their ability to bend infinite dimensions to their will, for they are seen as omnipotent within the context of their creation.
However, Shūnyakai no Ō holds a domain that makes such beings insignificant. While others may bend and manipulate reality, he is the fundamental constant that denies its very existence. For him, reality and non-reality are mere options, things that he can dismiss or enable. The Void Sovereign understands that power is but a limitation; only through nothingness is true freedom found. He does not control existence. He simply allows it, and when he chooses, he unmakes it.
In the face of Shūnyakai no Ō, even the most powerful beings realize a terrifying truth: their strength is derived from the framework of existence, but he exists outside of it. They bend reality; he bends the void. They are omnipotent; he is the Void itself.
A Force Without Rival
No matter how vast or infinite a being's power may seem, it will always be a part of existence. Shūnyakai no Ō transcends these beings not by overwhelming them with greater force, but by the nature of his fundamental supremacy over existence and non-existence. In the presence of Shūnyakai, reality itself trembles, and the mightiest gods find that their very concept of power crumbles before the vastness of the Void.
In the end, Shūnyakai no Ō stands alone as the Absolute Void Sovereign — not as a ruler of realms, but as the final truth that exists beyond all comprehension. His essence is beyond the comprehension of those who govern existence, and his power is the unmaking of all things. For those that claim omnipotence, they find in Shūnyakai no Ō a force that cannot be measured, challenged, or comprehended.
For in the Void, there is only him.

Pluto + rebirth
Pluto, often called the planet of transformation, is all about change, power, death, and rebirth. When it shows up in different areas of your birth chart (or during a transit), it’s like a cosmic signal that something in your life is about to go through a deep, intense shift.
Pluto in the 1st house
When Pluto's in your 1st house, you might feel like you’re going through a personal makeover—inside and out. It’s all about reinventing yourself and shedding old layers of identity to step into a more powerful version of who you really are. Imagine someone who’s always struggled with self-confidence suddenly gaining a sense of inner strength. Maybe they start working out, change their appearance, or embrace a new attitude that completely shifts how the world sees them.
Pluto in the 2nd house
Pluto in the 2nd house can shake up your finances and challenge what you consider important. This could mean a financial crisis that forces you to rethink how you make and save money—or even a total shift in your sense of self-worth. Think of someone who loses their job unexpectedly. At first, it’s tough, but it leads them to pursue a passion project or start their own business, completely changing their relationship with money and success.
Pluto in the 3rd house
Pluto in the 3rd house works on your mindset. It can bring up old fears or communication patterns that no longer serve you, forcing you to express yourself more authentically and powerfully.Maybe you’ve always held back in conversations, avoiding conflict. But with Pluto’s influence, you could have a breakthrough, learning to speak your truth in a way that’s both honest and empowering.
Pluto in the fourth house
In the 4th house, Pluto focuses on home, family, and deep emotional roots. You might experience changes in your living situation or power dynamics within your family. These changes, though intense, can lead to greater emotional resilience.Someone might move out of a childhood home, or a family rift could heal after years of tension. This marks the beginning of a new chapter where the family is stronger, even if it had to go through some tough moments.
Pluto in the fifth house
Pluto’s influence here pushes you to explore creativity or romantic relationships in a deeper, more intense way. It’s about shedding superficial connections or creative blocks and tapping into something more raw and authentic. Picture someone ending a toxic relationship that wasn’t allowing them to fully be themselves. Once free, they dive into their passions—maybe they start painting or writing again—and they find their creativity is reborn.
Pluto in the 6th house
Pluto in the 6th house brings a shift in your daily routines, work habits, and even health. You could face a health scare or burnout that forces you to overhaul how you take care of yourself. Someone who’s been overworking might be forced to slow down after a health crisis. This leads them to adopt a healthier work-life balance and discover a new way of living that feels more sustainable and rewarding.
Pluto in the 7th house
When Pluto is in the 7th house, relationships take center stage. You might go through a breakup or power struggles, but ultimately, it leads to deeper, more meaningful connections. A person may find themselves in a rollercoaster of a relationship, full of ups and downs. After working through some tough emotional challenges, they either transform the relationship into something stronger—or let it go and find someone more aligned with who they are now.
Pluto in the 8th house
Pluto in the 8th house takes transformation to its core—focusing on shared resources, deep psychological healing, and life-changing events. This is where you might face fears, experience loss, or gain through inheritance or investments. Someone might go through a life-altering event, like the passing of a loved one, that profoundly shifts their understanding of life, death, and what truly matters. This experience could push them toward deep healing or spiritual growth.
Pluto in the 9th house
Pluto in the 9th house challenges your belief systems and perspectives. You may go through a spiritual awakening or question long-held views, leading to a completely different outlook on life. Think of someone who travels abroad for the first time and comes back with a totally new perspective on life. They might start questioning their old beliefs and embrace a more expansive, open-minded approach to the world.
Pluto in the 10th house
Pluto in the 10th house means big changes in your career or public reputation. You could experience a significant career upheaval, but it leads to a new sense of purpose and a stronger professional identity. Someone might face a professional crisis, like losing their job or going through a public scandal. While it feels devastating at first, they eventually reinvent themselves and emerge with a career that’s more aligned with their true calling.
Pluto in the 11th house
Pluto here transforms your social life and group involvement. You might let go of old friends or find yourself drawn to new causes that bring more meaning to your life. A person might leave a shallow social circle and instead start connecting with people who share their deeper passions, such as environmental activism. This transformation helps them feel more fulfilled and aligned with their ideals.
Pluto in the 12th house
Pluto in the 12th house brings hidden fears, traumas, and spiritual matters to the surface. It’s a time for healing and letting go of old patterns that no longer serve you, allowing for a profound spiritual rebirth. Someone might start therapy or dive into meditation practices that help them uncover and heal past wounds. This process could lead to a spiritual awakening, where they feel more connected to themselves and the universe at a deeper level.

like ok I do not have any power over the fantasies you have but I am personally very curious as to why this is such a pattern in romance. I absolutely understand the thrill of wanting to see a toxic relationship play out on page, of wanting to read something about two people who are frighteningly devoted to one another, believe me I do, but I can’t help but see so much of it as not being a fun sexy thriller but a pattern of constantly trying to convince women that violent men are desirable. if it did just exist in a bubble I wouldn’t be worried about it but is no one else seriously bothered that it’s so common in romance. I just really would like to know why so many of these books about a “toxic relationship for the DRAMA of it all” are literally just a story about an abuser and his victim. or at the very least an immature misogynist who gets a woman to settle for him because he’s good at sex or something.
I just gotta say. I know we love being positive abt fiction on here but why is it some people’s fantasy to think abt abusive garbage men. yeah yeah I know you “don’t like it irl” but like why does it get you off. why does this creep behavior get you off, are you seriously just completely uninterested in examining that. if you don’t find it attractive why are you reading the book explicitly designed to get you off. literally it’s written to make you swoon because otherwise why the fuck would you read it, it can’t be the winning prose and stellar plot development. why do you think it’s hot when a man physically overpowers a woman and doesn’t listen to her and intimidates her and acts possessive and yells at her. why is this your fantasy. why are you not curious about this
#I am literally planning to write a fantasy romance series#with two people who are unhealthily devoted to each other and have far too much power#and end up being unable to change and ultimately they lead each other into their mutual downfall#So like I promise. I get the appeal of wanting to read about a toxic relationship#i do I really do#I’m just saying. It’s fiction. You can get more interesting with it#my story is gonna be about the prince of a small kingdom and a half-fey woman who has made a cosmic promise to fight for him#and she commits conquest and bloodshed in his name and they start out trying to save the world#but ultimately end up with wars and thousands upon thousands dead bc they’re fucking royalty and therefore evil#they want so badly to be different from their fathers but fail to understand what made those men terrible and end up continuing the cycle#and in the end they die and no one is there who wants to save them#not to like. say I’m inherently more interesting but COME ON.

In retrospect, it's very impressive how thematically loyal Dandadan stays to the dual theme of alien conspiracies and ghost superstitions. "The world is big and dangerous and unknown, full of mysterious actors and hidden forces that threaten our deepest, most intimate insecurities for unknowable reasons"
Dandadan's aliens are logical and just in a way that is absolutely absurd in practice, but have the power to apply their judgement onto humans regardless, in the ultimate kafkaesque sense. And you might never even know it, and likely never fully will. And ghosts are vicious reflections of this dangerous and unjust world, sadistically hurting random people they encounter from a perverted desire for justice and overwhelming, directionless emotions. These conspiracies and superstitions present a world without grand universal justice, and Dandadan takes that to heart. But there are always ways to fight back, avoid the dangers and stay safe. There may not be divine or cosmic justice in the world, or a promise that nothing bad will ever happen to you. But there IS resolution, and catharsis, and safety nets, and kindness, and stupid fun, and teen romance along the way.
I guess what I want to say is: Dandadan swings from funny to heart-wrenching, from fun to terrifying, and it also has really uncomfortable moments sometimes. And while you could argue that they make the story harder to approach for some, they are very thematically appropriate regardless. And not in a misery-fest way - it always works out in Dandadan. As much as it is a homage to paranoia and dread and injustice, it is a fun ride of interpersonal growth and unexpected friendships, full of hope and nice certainties and fixing things and making things better.
And though it may not always work out in the "justice is restored, evil is destroyed" way and this might be irksome at times as well - it's not out of the blue either. And, in the end, it works out in all the ways that matter for the people living through it.
Not every story is for everyone, of course, and it's okay. But if you were intrigued and had reservations after certain scenes - I say give it a chance, with this in mind.

Why all the stars on stuff? Both in your house and in the sculptures.
It's true that I will take the thinnest possible excuse to make anything celestial themed; I will own up to that without shame.
I don't know if I can put it into words. Astronomy was a big part of my childhood--my dad was president of a local astronomy club and we spent a lot of summer nights at a little observatory in the middle of nowhere, chasing lightning bugs and watching supernovas. I learned to make model rockets and how to navigate from the North Star, and that the constellation of freckles on my left arm was only three stars short of Orion. That feeling of warm wind over the fields, the serenity and wonder of staring skywards, will never quite leave me.
But also, as an agnostic person, there's something about the stars that I find so hopeful and isolating all at once. As far as we know, we are the only things in the universe that look at the stars and wonder what other worlds may wait. The cataclysmic power of infinite suns, and none of them wondering if they are alone. The endurance of billions of years of time and space and the eons of distance light has crossed to meet our eyes, looking upwards into darkness, telling stories that turn the nuclear fury of distant galaxies into nothing more than the memorial of a human hunter. Pinpricks of light that will outlive the entirety of our species, named only on our breath. They're a tether to every one of our ancestors, who looked up into the field of diamonds and marveled, and every one who will come after. A star is the ultimate proof that creation and destruction are inexorably intertwined, that utter failure and collapse is not an ending, that light continues on.
In the emptiness between them is the persistent promise of entropy. The reminder that life, for all its glories, is finite, and darkness is not. The warning to savor what hope crosses the deep oceans of universe to reach us, because even that will not last forever. Entropy, the great hunter, will lay stars and souls down in the same grave someday, and all things will end no matter how we fight it. There is a comfort in knowing that whatever awaits us past the final flicker of life spares nothing, not a single cell or a galaxy entire, all of us entering the great mystery together.
We, the stargazers, are the cosmic elite--we alone look out at the universe, which, for all its splendor and vastness, has no eyes to gaze back at us. We alone have the privilege of sapience, not only to exist in the whirl of fireflies in the endless night, but to know it, to get to revel in its beauty, for the momentary flicker of our existence. And still there is hope that we are not alone; that the universe is so incomprehensibly enormous that the statistical impossibility of existence has occurred more than once; that maybe someone else out in the beyond is assigning meaning to our sun.

the part where the romantic connection is never explicit because the entire point is about the undercurrents of unfulfilled desire evoking a sense of what might have been had they not chosen divergent paths. the part where both were tested by the allure of ultimate power, yet where he succumbed, she resisted, forging enemies where there might have been lovers. the part where their extreme bond is the very foundation of their hostility, a connection rooted in misfired passion, and a love that can never be consummated because they are the very embodiments of opposing cosmic forces: light and shadow.
#when he is your reflection#but also your opposite#haladriel#saurondriel#sauron x galadriel#galadriel x sauron#trop#the rings of power#what a goddamn ship though!!!!
