The One who Feasts in the Dark

This is why I don’t draw Nibbly often despite being my favorite design out of all his brothers.

In a classic chthonic deity fashion, I wanted to associate him physically with wealth, so studded along his body are the remains of the jewelry his sacrifices wore. Their pearly little veneers dot his gums amongst his more bestial teeth. Each of his own arms are made up of intertwined human arms with perfect manicures.

So uh, for some unknown reason, this next boy is taking forever to draw.

Built almost 100 years ago in the deforested recreational park that would one day become Watcher World, the Panopticon Carousel is practically an institution in Hatchetfield. Despite the unusually high injury rates of riders on the gaudy, mirror-covered merry-go-round, many residents have terrified fond  memories of riding it as children. 

Among teens and adults, however, there is friendly debate regarding if whether the artist who made it:

                     A. Has never seen a horse before in his fucking life; or

                     B. Was on all the drugs when he made it.

Someone remind me to redraw this.

The Queen in White

The Lord in Black

More than rulers, they are the living Black and White itself, unable to ever fully rid themselves of the other.

Wanted to add some more Yog-Sothoth “knows the gate, is the gate, is the key and guardian of the gate” and Azathoth “our reality is his mindless dream” flavor to Wiggly and Webby in my headcanon in a few ways, and also an idea on why gods have a 5-v-1 stalemate.

This pic I'm working on is taking forever so have a Wiggly-core glass orb I found at the Ren Faire, a Webby-esque spider from the same booth, along with some NPMD Ren Faire outfit headcanons:

Ruth: Had a parent into costuming so she has grown up with full period-accurate garb that can be tracked down to year and region, wishes she had the boobs and confidence to dress as a generic fantasy wench.

Richie: Goes in Link from Legend of Zelda cosplay, has pics posing next to pottery stalls.

Pete: One of those people who dresses as a Star Trek away team member or the Doctor, will play banter along with cast if they treat it in character.

Grace: Her family still believes the 1980s Satanic Panic around D&D and that carries over to related stuff like the Ren Faire. Will not go.

Steph: Dresses in comfortable "civilian" clothes, tried on Faire garb for fun at a shop and Pete and Ruth almost spontaneously combust from how hot she looks. Gets her hair braided super fancy at a booth and keeps it in all weekend.

Max: If he were to ever go to one and get to enjoy himself (impossible), he would be that frat bro looking dude walking around casually with like a paper crown and impromptu cape over his t-shirt and shorts.

So it only recently occurred to me that Wilbur Cross was probably a reference to Wilbur Whateley from The Dunwich Horror? So two new headcanons based on this revelation:

At one point P.E.I.P. thinks they’ve killed Wiley and when they try to autopsy his body it’s just the shock panel from Dissection Girl, with mangled chunks of human organs melting into crazy Lovecraftian bullshit, teeth and eyes sprouting out of random places and all sorts of tentacles. then he gets up and the real horror show starts

Dogs go absolutely berserk around him, unable to stand his unnatural presence and try their best to attack him. He has lost at least one fight with Miss Holloway because they get too close to a pack of dogs or timber wolves and he gets mauled.

This is how Time Bastard went, right?

Me, a fool: I’m just going to draw a quick doodle of my favorite boy playing bloodhound from the story

Aww... Pokey is getting into the weeb spirit of this blog.

And in answer to my supplication, she appeared in my dreams. Both the Weaver and the Web, Destroyer and Savior, the Queen in White. She was soft flowing silks, more elegant than any I’d seen adorning the decadent members of old money enclaves in the waking world, and clattering armored chitin, gnarled and twisted like the bark of an ancient oak standing centuries of vigil over a church yard long devoid of earthly worship. Incomprehensible, an awful, terrible, wondrous beauty that tore at my thoughts, unraveling my mind and driving all rationality from my pathetic mortal form the longer I trembled before her, even in the hazy realm of dreams and nightmares.

Spiders are a girl’s best friend.

Poor Webby was left out of my last few doodles, and I couldn’t really do a Messenger design for her without an idea for her “default” form. I know they’re all indescribable horrors built of mystical psychic energy in the Black and White, but I like making monsters. So let’s say this is the result of putting in the bare minimum amount of effort to solidify their forms.

These default shapes are Cthulu-esque mountain-sized forms that risk driving anyone who sees them insane, so in the AU I originally made this blog for these are referred to as their “Kaiju” forms.

Cover our souls with robes of black and take up the arms of night

I wanted to design intermediary forms for the Lords in Black as sort of a Nyarlathotep/Messengers vibe.

Maybe they started out trying for intimidation when first summoned before going for whimsical terror, maybe they're forms that the LiB assume when visiting other worlds and dimensions to travel among the populace.

maybe I just really wanted to design more monster boys
