synopsis:

The year is 2055, Earth has been the same as we all knew and love when suddenly the world we know was gone. The clouds darkened and the sky brought creatures that are tainted with demon blood. Instead of the human population, demon swarled the Earth and attempted to take control. To keep the worlds safe, Gods and Goddesses from the Afterlife (also known as the Celestial Court) was soon emerging to keep a shallow sense of peace. The Earth was then divided into 3 domains. The Celestial Court took over one part, calling it the Golden Zones. An another part of the earth was corrupted by the Demon Ling Zion, who called his domain Infernal Wastes.

The poorer parts, the parts where the Humanity was fighting for freedom is called Free Zones.

To this day, no one knows why the catastrophe happened, it remains a mystery.

Grand finally for the day!

[gumbootillustrations]

divine warriors loredump!

so yeah, the divine warriors! admittedly, i'm fascinated by them - i rlly rlly wish that we'd gotten to see more of them + their powers/domains/abilities in mcd, especially considering that they're a driving force behind the plot. so, i've gone ahead and done some redesigns for the sigils (above) and expanded on the domains and abilities of the divine warriors within the context of ashes, ashes.

more under the cut!

irene retains her matron title. for her domains, i rlly wanted to lean into her being a deity of life and family; as such, her official domains are  life, light, healing, childbirth and parenthood, fertility, marriage, tradition, beauty, and romantic/familial/platonic love. menphia also has domains over aspects of love (namely over sexual/carnal/manic love), but i wanted them to sort of have an aphrodite ourania (irene) and aphrodite pandemos (menphia) sort of vibe. in terms of the abilites that her relic gives its wielders, its a lot of what's seen in canon mcd: lots of healing and light abilities, but also some dimensional manipulation and time manipulation stuff thrown in there for the shits and giggles.

for shad, i rlly wanted to play into him being both a mirror and a foil for irene. where irene creates, he destroys; where irene brings life, he brings death. his official domains are that of death, darkness, chaos, the afterlife, change, rot and decay, the Nether, bloodshed, and madness. although he's also a war deity like menphia (and, to an extent, esmund and xavier), he's mostly associated with the worst bits of battle - the blood, the rot, the awful awful deaths, that sort of thing. his relic grants its wielders a lot of destruction-associated powers like disintegration and rot/plague/death stuff, but also some shadow and blood manipulation as well.

like a lot of other folks, i felt like enki was the best fit for a knowledge deity. he looks after scholars, librarians, witches, and inventors; officially, his domains are those of knowledge, air, magick, prophecy, the weather, winter, reason, and lightning. from here, you'll start to see pretty much all the warriors having some sort of like. elemental association? is the best way i can put it. i've sort of based it off of the minor arcana of the tarot; the suit of swords, which is associated with air, is the suit of knowledge and the mental realm, which i thought was fitting for enki. enki is also one of the four seasonal divine warriors (the others being esmund, menphia, and kul'zak); he gets winter, mostly because of his centre of worship being in gal'ruk. wielders of his relic get air and weather manipulation powers, as well as powers related to memory and access to witchcraft (if they aren't witches already). they also gain clairvoyance.

esmund! again with the tarot symbolism; esmund is associated with the element of earth and the physical world, hence the mountain in his sigil. his domains are those of protection, earth, wealth, autumn, boundaries, earthquakes, guardhood, and the harvest. the domain over the harvest might seem a little left field but it makes sense i promise! i sort of saw esmund's association with the harvest not only being because of him being an earth deity, but also because i feel like being able to provide is a form of protection, and given the setting of mcd, i feel like being able to provide a good harvest is a part of that. this is also why he is associated with autumn. regarding the abilities that his relic provides, there's a lot of earth manipulation and barrier/force field creation stuff in there; his relic wielders are also freakishly stronger and more durable than those who wield other relics, sort of playing into esmund himself being a tank.

i changed menphia's title to 'the conqueror' because i thought it'd be a bit more fitting for her, especially considering how i'm working tu'la in ashes, ashes (more on that later). i also changed her colour scheme to more of a blue/copper theme despite her being a fire goddess - i thought it was neat, considering that blue flames are those that burn the hottest. her domains are those of warfare (the glorious bits), fire, soldiers, political power, summer, passion and courage, festivals and celebrations, and sexual/carnal/manic love. i'm still not suuuper sure on the abilities that her relic gives its wielders, but there's definitely some pyrokinesis and emotion/heat manipulation, along with some combat-specific foresight in there. i'm open to suggestions!

nothing much really changes regarding kul'zak. he's a nature deity and watches over journeymen and particularly sailors, given that he's a water/ocean deity; he's often worshipped by pirates. officially, his domains are travellers, water, animals, the wilderness, the cardinal directions and navigation, hunting, and spring. i really wanted to lean into him being a man of the wilderness and not really having a home in urban environments. as such, his relic grants its wielders a lot of wilderness-based abilities, like shapeshifting, water and plant manipulation, and camouflage, with a bit of teleportation in there for all your wandering needs.

xavier is probably the divine warrior that i've changed the most. first off, he becomes a divine warrior in ashes, ashes where he isn't in canon mcd. i also really wanted to lean into him being the founder of the jury of nine, hence his title - the justiciar. he's associated with the domains of guardhood (along with esmund), loyalty, metal and metalworkers, justice, balance and order, peace, brotherhood, devotion, and artisans. where esmund looks after the more physical side of being a guard (being your lord's shield and spear, aka the protection side of things), xavier looks after the more emotional side of being a guard - the devotion to your lord and the comradery that you share with your fellows. his relic's abilities capitalise on that, with its wielders being able to both amplify and nullify the magick of the people they're fighting alongside/against. there's also a bit of metal manipulation and a lot of supportive magick in there too.

and, as a fun little tidbit - a lineup of the divine warriors! (the layout is inspired by @star-boi0720 - the way you lay out your drawings like this is mint as 🤩)

i'm still not suuuper happy w kul'zak or irene's designs but i'll get there in the end i guess :)

"it's okay but very YA" (said in an "iykyk YA obviously being a code word for awful" way)

S H U T T H E F U C K U P

I have actually had it, stop reading YA books if you don't like them and then shitting on them for being YA

Stop using YA as a negative descriptor when it is literally just a category

No one is forcing you to read YA, fuck off to the adult section and leave the rest of us alone

If it's boring, fine. If it's underdeveloped, fine. If the characters are one dimensional, fine. If the plot was lacking, fine. Say that. None of that is because it's YA. Some of the absolute best books I've ever read are YA and some of the most garbage worse than that Episode app shite I've read has been adult but you don't see me going around saying "bleh it's so..adult🤢👀" as if that's automatically supposed to be a given negative towards it

That's like reading a picture book and saying "eh very toddler-y" like??? Fucking DUH

(don't mind me i saw this twice in a row and got triggered or smth)

tyun using his big arms to slam you back down onto his cock after you tried squirming away, fat cock stretching you out so good (idk english isnt my first language </3)

SEMWNEN I SAW THIS THIS MORNING AMD WAS ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED BY IT 🧍🏻‍♀️

⚠️warning! umm tyun has a big dick and it hurts so good

tyun it’s too much….too big… you’re trying to pry him off of you, grabbing onto the headboard to get off of his lap. I can’t…

it’s no use, he’s too strong. he’s not letting go of you. you can feel his biceps flexing; holding onto you. you’re digging your nails into the skin of his arms. tyun pays no attention to it.

princess, im barely inside of you. that may have been a lie. you can take it, look.

he looked down at where your bodies met. you couldn’t look. he pushed you down so hard you thought he might break you. oh, but the stretch hurt so good. you whimpered. you’d never felt so full.

good? tyun asked you, still making sure you were okay even though he was practically going to split you open.

so fucking good, fuck. you whined, your grip faltering as you let him fuck you into oblivion.

How would the ROs react if they saw MC with a hickey on their neck? (crushing stage)

Wonderful question! Thank you so much for asking.

Kaelen , The Mystery :

The second you enter the room, he notices the faint purple mark on your collarbone. His eye twitches but he doesn’t say anything, doesn’t give out any signals that he knows about your little hickey. You are not his, why would he care?

You’re just important for his mission, nothing else.

That doesn’t stop him from staring to your direction for the remainder of the day.

Ellie Robinson , The Sniper :

Her eyes narrow in annoyance when she sees the sign that you were definitely having fun with someone. Her fists clench and she can’t look away.

Unlike Kaelen, she won’t be silent. She was never the one to hold herself from speaking her feelings.

“Wow, your prioritizes seem very clear MC.” She sneers. She knows it’s mean but she can’t stop herself.

She doesn’t look at your face the remainder of the day.

Nereis , The Goddess :

Her breath hitches once she sees the mark. She might be new to humane feelings but she knows what that entails. She had enough tea time with Calix to know what hickeys meant.

She doesn’t really know what to say. She had never felt these feelings before. She doesn’t say anything to your face about it but you can see her eyes drifting from you occasionally.

Jace Sosa , The Engineer.

He might be the most normal about this. He’s very rightfully upset but he knows he can’t really dictate who you talk or kiss in your free time.

He would give you an awkward smile and point to the hickey on your neck. “Hope you had a nice time, heh.” He would say, rubbing his neck.

He sulks the entire day afterwards.

Tips for Dysfunctional Family Girlies Part 2:

1) Get your basics straight. Education. Boundaries. Financial independence. Further breaking it down and linking it if you get proper education at some point you are bound to get an awareness of this world, if you are able to adapt and improvise yourself and develop your emotional intelligence and get your boundaries straight you will save yourself a lot of unnecessary drama and problems. Education (formal and informal) both will help you in gaining opportunities and if you are financially independent, you are holding the power to make your own decisions.

2) Develop thick skin. Your mom is calling you names. Slut, whore and what not. Your dad doesn't trust you and abuses you physically. So, what now? Are you going to let them define what you are or internalize the anger and use it as a fuel to become successful? Choice is yours.

3) They say you don't owe an explanation to anyone. Sorry to burst your little bubble. Actually you do. We live in a society and have relationships that we need to maintain for survival. This hyper independent stuff is only good to read. We have responsibilities that we need to fulfill. If you don't owe an explanation to anyone then don't cry about a closure from someone too. If you can live by this go ahead and practice it.

4) Stop isolating yourself. That's it. That's the point.

5) First kill the fear inside you. Being a rebel outside the house is no good. Be disciplined. Know how to manipulate your family members in your favor and if you can't just find the weak points and threaten. I know it's difficult to implement but you learn through trial and error. Plus something is better than nothing.

6) Stop glorifying people who treat you with kindness and love. That's the bare minimum. Just because you didn't get it served in a silver spoon doesn't mean it is not served in a silver spoon. People can have ulterior motives and even if they don't fix it in your brain that's normal. No rose colored glasses allowed.

7) Don't be afraid of indulging in your sexuality. No I am not saying go and have sex with people. I mean it in a deeper sense. Connect with the repressed sexual side and try to find healthy outlets. Don't dim yourself to fit in others'expectations or to ease someone's insecurity. Be unapologetic about your wants and desires. Know yourself. It's a powerful energy source if you know how to use it positively.

8) Cry, cry and cry. Wail like a child. No need to keep it all in. No need to act like a macho woman BUT only in front of your god or your belief system. Max in front of your truly trusted people.

9) Question everything as easily as breathing. Doubt every thing. Every action. Every person. What proof do you have to not doubt ? Stop giving benefit of doubts. Stop looking for excuses on how they could be good and instead look for ways in which they can harm you. That's your lottery to be poised and composed. It's just what it is.

10) Obsession. We have it in loads. That's natural to us. So the trick here is to be obsessive. Hella obsessive but about things, topics, goals, subjects, inanimate things,etc. God forbid but never be obsessive about a person. Not even over your dead body. Why? For that I need to make another detailed post I think.

Absolutely no one:

Me:

[forsakenbythenarrative]

here it is again, my favorite day of the year. we remember today, we are borrowing dirt. you are not above creation; you are a part of it. you are not living on Earth; you belong to Her, you are a piece of Her. you are dust breathing; you are the ashes of a thousand forest fires, the stuff built from the corpses of stars. you are made and guided by the Force that controls life and death, beginnings and ends, and the pathways in between. death is not a curse, it is a phase of being: a roadway between states of consciousness. you'll return back to where you once were. but God has decided that you should get to be of a separate consciousness; God made you alive and human. do well with that and be grateful. and remember today to whom you belong, where you come from, and where you are going.

i hope the Divine may resonate in your life today in a way that you can see. (the Divine is always there; i hope today your eyes may be open to it.)
