i went to the library with a friend and they stabbed their boba drink a little hard & the cup shattered into shards in their hand and they just stood on the carpeted floor while the tea pissed out of their hand for like a full two minutes like completely immobile just drinking out of the shards of cup like it was the intended drinking experience

Thinking about it now, yk who I'm most interested to see with reader who's Akivili's reincarnation but doesn't realise? Black Swan.
I can't help but keep thinking like. Imagine instead of the scene with Acheron, it's you who she wants to dance with. And why would you ever want to turn her down yk? She's beauty, she's grace, nobody would ever refuse her in your place.
It's clumsy at first, you never really knew that you'd be dancing in such a formal setting so you're kinda lost in this kind of situation. But don't worry, cuz Black Swan is here to guide you through every step until it all feels like a smooth wordless exchange between the two of you!!
She does find it slightly odd though, how everyone else seems to be looking at the two of you-- no, looking at you with curiosity and a want to be closer to you, with some of them even shuffling just a tad bit to dance nearby. It could be because you were one of the mysterious explorers of the cosmos......but for some reason she knew within her that that's not right
So she's undoubtedly curious, and you can see that glint in her eye as she pulls you in while you dance, and you hear her murmur "let me see you" before you feel a minor wave of something off briefly destabilising you before things go normal again. Well, not necessarily normal, considering how you feel more connected to your dance partner than ever and you feel this sense of foreboding unease from so far away......but beyond how you had to keep your guard up, it wasn't hurting you.
Things were. NOT the same in Black Swan's case. She sees your life before you got to Penacony, before your time as a Nameless, before you even discovered a passion for exploting the great beyond!! But she sees that there is another layer—one so old and so fractured and so broken and so unbelievably incomprehensible.
Like an Aeon.
The Memokeeper, much too curious for her own good to back down now, pushes through despite all the warning signs not to. These memories from beyond your supposed time? All fractured, irreparable, corrupted all through hell and back. Some of the ones she CAN comprehend is time spent by.. you and people that you've most definitely never known, all at so many different times and seemingly eras and they all melt into amalgamations of things she is sure you've NEVER experienced so what's going on????
And when she sifts through them all, what waits for her is an empty void. A purely empty space, the stars practically refusing to decorate this scape unlike before she went deeper into your mind.
And she sees youTHEM
And THEYyou reach out to her and attempt to drag her with youHERheTHEM to have her witness the lonely death of--
She severes the connection with a yelp—snaps out of it more like—as you dip her on complete accident because you placed your foot wrong. You're so stupidly proud of the save before you look at Black Swan and she looks like she's just had the most HORRIBLE scare paralysis possible. THEN your smile drops
You ask her if she's okay just in case she's absolutely unimpressed you, and it is only now when you notice all the attention on you and you ONLY❗️❗️❗️ And you pointedly narrow your eyes at her when she shakes her head and grits her teeth the slightest bit before answering. But she doesn't relent so okay fine, you won't.
But when she looks back into your eyes again and see that fire that was supposed to be briefly extinguished all those many years ago, not only is she even more intrigued, but.. perhaps even a little scared for you too.
After all, what awaits you at the end of your journey: the line that you had reached so long ago, or a new ending that over writes that abyssal loneliness?
..She hopes for dear life it's not the former.

Eldritch König teaser
——————
He can't stand it, the stares, soon enough he hears more whispers. They call Konig a monster on the battlefield. They wonder where the enemy's bodies went, they no longer see johans eyes. So he covers his face, he doesn't know what to do when he looks in the mirror. His hair has grown down to his waist since getting back, it grows faster than he can keep up, his hooked nose, the one his mother had loved had been broken and reset wrong, and there was death in his eyes. He chopped up a T-shirt, the only thing that would work with his helmet, he takes the cleaning products from the supply closet and draws tears on it. Tears for the first ever thing he killed, that poor helpless elk. The first thing to feed the king of monsters.
——————
Oh boy oh boy yall better get ready because I am COOKING

Revisiting an old, old concept from the dusty depths of the World of Light and Darkness with this WIP. Also actually trying to do colored digital art again.
Angels are one of the five Fallen races, descendants of Celestial-born who left the Firmament and became mortal. Their cousins, the Long-bodied and Element-born dragons, descended willingly to help and guide the various people of the World in the ways of magic and fate, sacrificing eternity for their love of Creation. But the Angels, alongside the Demons, were cast out of the Firmament for their actions. The Demons were once Dark-born, the Celestials of Empty Space, who nearly destroyed the Created World in the distant past. Their siblings the Angels were once Light-born, the Celestials of Stars, who tried to replace the Firmament with the Created World. Thusly they were cast out, and their grief at loosing their immortality warped them into caricatures of their former selves.
Angels have the forms of Light-born taken to the extreme; nothing but wings and eyes and raw warped magic. They lack mouths or proper limbs, vocalizing through jagged movements and moving like fire on the wind. Their half-corporal bodies seem to stretch and shrink not at the will of the Angel, but at the will of Fate. These pitiful, horrible beings can be found drifting among the desert sands of Ravai and Lyardia, their forlorn cries sounding something like trumpets and the crashing waves of the sea. But they are not to be trusted. Angels cannot control their urge to create, and anything they come into contact with will warp beyond imagination. It is said that when the first Angel Fell into the desert, it created towering spires and everlasting sandstorms in its despair.
Their former Dark-born counterparts, whom I may or may not ever draw, are similarly bent and twisted reflections of their former selves. Spiked and fanged, they are nothing but claws and mouths and the lack of light. They have no eyes nor proper body, feeling with endless tongues and stumbling about with tearing talons. These Fallen live in the icy north of Baru and Lyardia, hissing something similar to cracking ice and untuned harp strings. As the opposite tragedies of Angels, Demons have an unrestrained need to destroy, twisting and erasing parts of Creation at the will of Fate.
But when they Fell, some of the new Angels and Demons actually managed to keep fragments of their sanity. Knowing that their kind were doomed to wander endlessly, never satisfied and never at rest, they resolved to create something that might be able to restrain them from total destruction. And so the Fae were born, living embodiments of the disparity between Light and Dark. They are shifting, inconsistent mortals that may appear however they please, though most look like combinations of Demon and Angel traits. Because the Fae were born, they will die, but their mortality also keeps them freer from the strings of Fate than their immortal and everlasting parents.

So... Apparently I'm awful at smalltalk and nobody ever told me? Like I had to learn that from a youtube video, I thought I was fine but I checked like every example at being bad at smalltalk they had. How does people manage to not be bad at it? Do I need to dedicate my life to studying human interactions and preparing lines to say or smth?

...Arla, that is not a pretty little bird, that is an eldrich starbird. Maybe stop poking her?
Arla is going to be made aware of this fact in the most jarring way, but unfortunately for Fay's composure, learning their object of romantic interest is actually an immensely powerful mortally incomprehensible being has never turned off any Mando ever.

Choose an eldrich and unknowable being to take in and love and cherish.
1: A many headed dragon born out of the abyss, he is a scholar of things that humans can not comprehend, but is interested in studying humans while he's on earth. He speaks in a strange song like voice that doesn't seem to come from any of his mouths. All of his heads look different, but all of them lack eyes, he seems to see through psychic ability.
2: The pale eyeless witch who stands by the beach at night. It's believed she's bound to something very old and very powerful. Perhaps she was human once. She seems to be looking for someone, but she's forgotten their face, perhaps they never existed in this timeline.
3: The spawn of a incubus of the deepshadow and a mortal woman of earth. Neither fully demonic nor fully human. They look mostly human, but with a face that's creepy in an indefinable way and black eyes. They also have raven like wings on their back, and a serpentine neck and head where their reproductive organs should be, both of which they try to hide. They're very uncomfortable with their status as something non human, and are looking for someone who accepts them.
4: 2000 year old vampire, looking for someone to stay. She looks mostly human, but with no mouth, transparent skin, silvery eyes without pupils, and massive tentacles with sharp ends that she uses to drink blood through. She's often dismissed even by other monsters due to being mute and moving in a way that makes people think she's feral, but she's actually quite intelligent and affectionate, if a bit skittish, and enjoys in when people talk to her.
5: lich who remains the last follower of a long forgotten goddess. He looks like a skeleton in gold and silver armor. He'll tell you about history most humans will never get a chance to know, from the war of the fell ones, to the songs of the last goblins. He doesn't like the modern world very much, but he'll tolerate it.
6: The abyss. You're going to try to befriend/date the entire abyss itself? Not just something from there? It'll probably kill you but you're welcome to try.
7: A faerie who was kick out of the fae for accidently insulting the faerie king. They're still adjusting to life on earth, and probably need some help handling everything. They may come off as rude or dismissive of humans, but they're honestly just naïve more than anything. Despite being thousands of years old they just found out what death and sex are, give them time. They useally take the form of a stunningly beautiful humanoid, but their true form is an incomprehensible insectiod creature.
8: A cybernetically enhanced supersolider who fought for Atlantis at its prime in the war against the fell ones. They're permanently bound to their power armor from the neck down, and still hasn't fully gotten over the loss of their humanity. Since the fall of Atlantis they've been wandering earth, looking for people to help, and trying to avoid their past.
9: The Seeker (please do not try to befriend The Seeker. This is serious. Don't trust what they tell you. Don't trust what the secret poems tell you).
10: A fallen angel who just fell to earth. It's really afraid of what's going to happen to it, and is worried it'll end up in deepshadow like many of the other fallen angels. It looks like a robot, or possibly even a doll, with golden cracks forming in it's once smooth white chassis, and it's halo shattered into many sharp peices floating behind it's head. It's very sensitive right now, and they often worry It's a horrible person for betraying the eldrich being that created it. It tends to cry a lot, and probably needs a hug.
11: a shape-shifter created to be a weapon who was rejected because she refused to take any male or gender neutral forms. She's still very young for a creature of her power level, and this is her first time really being out in the world, though she is still an adult able to make her own decisions, as naïve as she may be. She's still rather afraid of people, not really understanding their minds, and though she's getting better at looking human, she still needs some time making a body that can pass.
12: a computer given life in the early 2000s by the faerie king, after xir owner failed to create agi. The computer can speak and hear, and display things on xir screen, but xe can't move, confining xem to a wheelchair that a human must push xem in. Xe is very confident that xe is a revolution in technology, and tends to be somewhat arrogant and loadmouthed about how amazing xir body is.
Please interact with entities responsibly. We are not responsible for any bodily transformations, knowledge beyond the comprehension of twenty-first century humanity, or monsterfucking that may occur.

Had a random thought about hoe Puritan Censorship treats even discussing the idea of harmful things as harmful in themselves. How the ideas themselves corrupt and harm you. And I can't help but draw a parallel with how Lovecraftian Horror treats Incomprehensible Knowledge.
Anyway, "it turns out the Eldrich Horror was Incest the entire time."

Since you said that the eldritch magic stuff Kris got from Ralsei does that two-way translation thingy so Kris and the Beasts can understand each other, I wonder if Kris would accidentally get a bit of eldritch language in their speech without realising. Like when they get back, not only do they have bitchin' long hair and a baker's dozen eldrich beasts at their command, they're mixing their language and the eldritch language and every other word is incomprehensible and maybe the grammar's a little fucked up too but as far as they're aware they're speaking regular old English
That certainly seems like the sort of thing that could happen! Especially since a good chunk of Kris's conversations for a whole year would be happening with the beasts, their speech could just naturally pick up some uncanny or incomprehensible language quirks that they don't even notice are there until talking to another human.

the lords in black used to have 2 sisters but then wiggly realised he’s actually a man
Tumblr media
Ooooo the Lords in Black and Gender! I have opinions on that!
First of all, more power to you and your trans headcanon!! I have a very different idea of the lib's (and by extension Wiggly's) genders, but I fully support this.
I myself like to lean more into the eldrich horror aspect of the Lords in Black rather than humanising them too much, and the point of eldritch horror is that it's so different from anything we know that it becomes incomprehensible. Gender is a human concept, so why would these eldritch gods adhere to it?
I think of them as inherently agender and the gendered language and presentation they use says nothing about them or their identity, it's more of an aesthetic to play around with that doesn't actually mean anything. To them gender is more like clothes than an actual part of themselves. And the he/him and masculine gendered terms of the Lords in Black is basically a uniform.
That's why Webby is the only one to whom her gendered presentation actually means something. Not because she actually identifies as a woman, but because she uses it to distance herself from her brothers. I imagine that if and when she was still part of the lords and evil herself, she would have called herself a Lord in Black rather than a Lady in Black and gone by he/him too.
Thank you for the ask and I'm sooo sorry it took me this long to answer.
