Zestmilla week day 2: scars

Zestial is old and he sure didn't become an overlord without a couple scuffles, I think he has fewer scars in number than Carmilla but they're a lot larger than hers because Carmilla was mostly fighting with angelic weaponry, where getting hit means you're probably gonna die, whereas most of Zestial's fights happened before angelic steel so he didn't mind tanking a hit or a few because he knew he'd be able to heal them.

From personal experience working with metal and machines I think Carmilla has a bunch of small scars on her hands and arms from when things went flying (and she has stretch marks because I said so) and Zestial loves that about her. He loves that Carmilla taught herself how to work with something as dangerous as angelic steel and loves to kiss the small scars on her hands, he also loves to kiss her stretch marks, particularly the ones from her pregnancy because they're proof of how hard Carmilla fought for her daughters even before she became an overlord.

Zestmilla week day 3: scars Well, that was the other prompt for day 2, so I just did them both, since I didn't have any ideas for day threes original prompts.

This one is a little saucyer, but I still think it's pretty tasteful.

Early meeting

“I know you're there, so show yourself,” Carmilla ordered, leaning against the shelf, aware that her balance was beginning to falter. "I would something wait for thou to return to thy seat,” a deep voice replied, as four greenish lanterns emerged from the shadows. “I don’t give a fuck,” Carmilla replied firmly. “Get out at once!”

Zestmilla week Day 1: History/ Early meeting

I think Carmilla used to be an exorcist. But the problem is that her daughters were sent to Hell, separating them. On one of the Extermination Days she recognized her daughters as the sinners she was about to kill. They soon reunited.

As a caring mother, Carmilla went to Hell more often, without Heaven knowing. Her visits became a routine. In the beginning, it didn't always go smoothly. Like one time, she hid her wings, but left her halo on. And as her luck had it, she bumped into Zestial. He could have done anything to her, but he was surprisingly understanding of her situation. He offered to help Carmilla.

Now the question is, why would an overlord like Zestial help someone who annually comes down to his home to kill souls then go back up and enjoy enthernal paradise? The answer is that he could see that Carmilla was different. She might have been an exorcist, but she was also a mother. And a good one. She could be up in heaven, enjoying her afterlife, instead, she is down there, looking for her daughters to keep them safe. This attracted Zestial.

Carmilla had every right to refuse, because still, Zestial was a stranger. But on the other hand, he could have hurt her or her daughters. But he offered to help. And he is a gentleman around her. Love at first sight.

Anyways, Carmilla trusted Zestial, and Zestial helped keeping Clara and Odette safe, while their mother was in Heaven, doing her job.

Years went by like this and Carmilla and Zestial started having more serious feelings for each other. They soon started dating, resulting in Carmilla spending more time in Heaven then in Hell which Heaven noticed.

When Carmilla returned to Heaven, she found herself on a trial. Heaven has eyes everywhere. And at the end of the trial, Carmilla was found guilty for going to Hell without permission (but that was forgiven because it was for her daughters) and for falling in love with not only a sinner, but an overlord. For this, her punishment was that her memories of Zestial were all removed, her wings were cut off and they took her halo. She was stripped from every of her traits that would indicate that she was an angel. Then she was cast out of Heaven, making her a fallen angel.

Some time after her fall, Carmilla finally found her daughters again, but not knowing who Zestial was, she didn't trust him then. Zestial soon realized that his girlfriend's memories of him were gone and thought it would be much easier to start again than rebuilding their relationship how it was. So he asked Odette and Clara not today anything about their past relationship to Carmilla.

Yeesssss I’m late for the Zestmilla week!! (I’m late for everything don’t kill me please hehe) This October has been really chaotic but now I have more time and hopefully the inspiration to keep up with the Zestmilla week.

As always my apologies come by the hand of moreeeee headcanooons!

So this is part 3 of my Zestmilla headcanons ;)

Zestial often tries to "modernize" his speech so that people can understand him more easily, but when he gets nervous he forgets and begins to speak unintelligibly. When he proposed to Carmilla, the poor woman did not understand a single word and he had to repeat it several times.

Carmilla's love language is physical contact and acts of service (does protecting her family count as service?) and whenever she can, quality time. Zestial's is basically all of them.

Carmilla spends the day giving orders, after all she is a successful and busy businesswoman, and because of that she lets Zestial decide for her when they go out to dinner, or go to see a movie. Of course he always chooses what he thinks she will like the most.

Something Carmilla always makes time for is taking care of her hair. She loves to keep it healthy, glossy and silky. That's why she has endless hair care products. Zestial once used one of them to wash his body and Carmilla had to excuse him when she was internally trying not to kill him.

Like a good English lord, Zestial adores Carmilla's ways. She is a calm, serene and sober woman. She is very elegant and sophisticated but she is also soft and kind to the people close to her. Of course, as a good Hispanic that she is (I'm not sure if she's Latina or Spanish, so I'll leave it up in the air), she has a passionate side that she shows from time to time. These moments in contrast to her usual calm leave Zestial completely enthralled.

Zestial likes to paint, especially the realistic style. He doesn't like to show his paintings to anyone, but Carmilla found them one day while looking for something at his house and she was so amazed that she asked him to take some home. She took one that Zestial had painted of himself when he was alive, basically because she found him extremely sexy with his goatee, wavy dark hair, and knight's armor.

Zestial has an hyperfixation on Carmilla’s neck and shoulders. The smooth skin, toned muscles and collarbone are too much for him. Of course she knows it and that's why she wears that open neckline.

Zestmilla day 3: mythical AU

Zestial is a spider-like flightless dragon but can glide by sewing fabric between the bones of his wings with spider silk. Odette is a lindwyrm who is also flightless but has fins that allow her to glide like Zestial. Carmilla is a manticore, and Clara is a gryphon.

Neither of the daughters are fully grown yet but Odette will eventually get longer than Zestial and Clara will have a larger wingspan than Carmilla

Zestmilla week day 2! ...Which I forgot to upload here yesterday. Oops!

After a long, harsh day, Carmilla can always count on Zestial to take care of her. He makes her tea, bakes her some bruschetta and they chat all night long.

Zestmilla week day 4: Secrets.

Looks, they're both vampires, and Carmilla's outfit is great for getting to the neck but not so much for covering it.

[vanilla0chinchilla]

Zestmilla week day 5: Dancing

I really wanted to draw @tokay-blog 's design for Zestial, okay.

[vanilla0chinchilla]

Zestmilla week day 1: First meeting.

I like to imagine that Zestial is much older than Carmilla, like, so much older that he was already established in hell before she died. For a first meeting, I like to imagine her summoning his, or making some kind of deal (not like full out selling her soul) but just something to help her out of a bad situation.

I also had fun going crazy with the colors in this^^

Day 4 - Secrets

There is a theory that Carmilla might be a fallen. There is so many anfics about that one. So I went with it for day 4... That and golden blood is cool. 8P

Zestmilla week day 1: Early meeting

Due to my exam schedule everything will be posted a week late, I was originally going to add a crowd but I hate backgrounds so instead I messed around with layers of darkness

Not their first meeting but perhaps their second. This is from around the 1910s, fashion for the overlords remains a display of power even in the modern day but for newer overlords (as Carmilla was here), staying up to date with fashion was far more important than it was for anyone or anytime else. For older overlords like Zestial, out of date fashion was a testament to their age rather than being seen as impoverished or out of touch, whereas at this time Carmilla didn't have the reputation to protect her from being able to attend high society events in her own style.

Day 2 - Scars

I like to think that Carmilla posseses some sort of scars on her legs from the first time she tested her ballet shoes. Learned the hard way that she has to wear something under them.
