3rd Life Designs

Limited Life Designs Here!

Double Life Designs Here!

Outfit designs for the 3rd Life players! These were very fun to think about and make!

The general theme and vibe I tried to stick with was generic high fantasy and Game of Thrones as that was the atmosphere I got from watching 3rd Life and interacting with fanart.

In order we have:

Desert Duo (Grian and Scar)

Flower Husbands/Hobbits (Scott and Jimmy) plus Joel

Crastle Alliance (Cleo, Bdubs, Impulse and Tango)

Dogwarts (Ren, Martyn, Etho, BigB and Skizz)

(Design detail ramble below)

Design Notes:

Starting with a general overview, I tried to keep everyone’s 3rd Life designs closer to their original/default skins because this was the first season of the Life Series. So a lot of the colours used stick closely to everyone’s default skins colour palettes

Now onto specifics

Every Grian design I make will have his red jumper in there somehow, but for 3rd Life I changed it to a red poncho with embroidery because he would absolutely boil in the desert if he wore his jumper

Jokes aside, he has boxer wraps around his hands to just hint at the finale duel in the cactus ring

Scar’s hat has Grian’s feathers on it as decoration, just to tie the two together more

His wheelchair and crutch also feature the colours of Pizza (the llama) and their banner

Scott and Jimmy had the most drastic design change because I had a very specific vision for their designs as I wanted to lean into a cozy and homely design for both of them

So therefore both have a lot of patchwork elements in their designs

Scott’s cloak is meant to look both quilted and patched together

Jimmy doesn’t have any canary features here because in my headcanon, he gains his feathers after his first death in 3rd life and after his second death, his ears fully morph into the canary wings I usually draw him with. He gains his back wings after his final death so he wakes up in Last Life suddenly with wings

Jimmy’s design is the most drastically different because I don’t want to draw him in his superhero skin, but I tried to keep elements of it with the large patchwork S

Joel’s design is meant to be a cross between a generic fairytale huntsman and a witch, I wanted him to feel like a “mysterious man in the woods” because he operated solo in 3rd Life and had a bunch of wolves

Cleo and Bdubs are meant to look like scrap collectors who are also knights, I gave Bdubs plant elements in his design to match him with Cleo

Impulse is meant to be wearing a lot of leather and the capital “I” on his default skin is represented by the sun-ray like patterns on the cloak

I wanted to Tango to look like a blacksmith/engineer because he made “Dare To Flare” in 3rd Life, I also gave him battered dragonfly wings to suggest that he’s some kind of fae creature in this season

Dogwarts time! Ren and Martyn are both in very Tudor era inspired clothes because I think that time period’s clothes fit their theme in 3rd Life

Etho is meant to be an oni here and I wanted him to have a very samurai inspired design, the character on his chest plate translates to “dog” in order to link him to “Dogwarts”

Both BigB and Skizz are meant to be very soldier like with their designs

BigB has some cookie elements and Skizz has a lot of angel elements, they both wear the Dogwarts banner around their waist just to link the Dogwarts group together

I used these spreaded wings with the poses, but others will probably work too.

Random HCs About Obey Me! Dateables (minus Newspaper Club)

a/n: hello my lovelies! me again! im writing as much as i can 2 re-accommodate myself 2 posting and such. lack of motivation and executive dysfunction have really been hitting hard lately, so id appreciate lots of love on my recent works! i need a good boost i think. wah anyway, im working on your requests! im working on multiple at once which is why its taking so long. ill be pumping out three at once, with any luck! please cheer me on raaaaaahhh!!!!

summary: a little blurb about some hcs i have for the demons, humans, and angels of Obey Me! minus Luke and the Newspaper Club. I promise 2 make more content of them later though! most of these hcs are anatomy and personality based.

cw: nsfw (MINORS DNI), suggestive, mentions of monsterfucking, seduction, monster traits (slit pupils, scales, feathers, wings, pointed ears, fangs, etc), as well as detailed descriptions of odd bodily morphisms. its probably not as bad as i have listed here but viewer discretion is advised regardless. NOT PROOFREAD! there will probably be lots of typos :(

MINORS DNI! THIS POST IS SUGGESTIVE AND WILL LATER LEAD INTO AN NSFW POST! PLEASE RESPECT MY BOUNDARY!

IMPORTANT INFO BEFORE WE BEGIN that I hc that the brothers and other demons all have different demon forms. Like, they have their mostly human forms (Form 1), but then they have their in-game demon forms (Form 2), and then on top of that, they have a second, less humanoid, more monsterish demon form (Form 3), and then past that, they have a full monster demon form (Form 4, monsterfuckers unite!!!1!). ill get into those hcs later. side note that i also believe the demon dateables have heat cycles and will make a separate post detailing that.

General overview (a more thorough one will be created later):

Form 1: Human form that the demon dateables have in-game. Some monster traits are still there, such as unusually large teeth and fangs, pointed ears, and odd morphisms (strangely shaped pupils, strangely shaped tongue, strangely colored flesh, retractable claws and teeth, etc).

Form 2: Humanoid demon form that the demon dateables have in-game. More monster traits are revealed, such as scales, horns, tails, fins, wings, and any other traits, including more exaggerated traits that are suppressed in their humanoid form (longer and pointier ears, more obvious slit pupils, sharp fangs and retractable teeth and claws no longer repressed, etc).

Form 3: Monster-like demon form, but still vaguely humanoid. Whatever demon features they have are extremely exaggerated instead of repressed, and scales, feathers, or any other features they have become more prominent, widespread, and obvious. 

Form 4: Full on Monster demon. They become the animals they represent. For example, Leviathan literally BECOMES the monster leviathan, the impossibly large sea serpent. Asmodeus would become a manticore, Beelzebub would be a fly-bull hybrid, Belphegor is a cow minotaur but more monsterish, if that makes sense. etc etc im sure you have got it figured out. 

Anyways, lets get into it!

Demon Brothers:

Lucifer:

His feathers r constantly shedding. like. constantly. when he transforms into his demon form it's just a burst of feathers. 

when he's in his humanoid demon form (Form 2) he'll have wings behind his ears. they're small and heavy. 

Surprisingly doesn't mind when MC preens his feathers or horns and genuinely enjoys it. He purrs at the feeling. will not encourage you to do it though.

achy back because his wings, while smaller, became heavier. sits down a lot and relaxes his back muscles often. will never have incorrect posture bc of this.

has a tail but it's like. just feathers. he's slightly embarrassed about it because it sticks straight out and he cannot manipulate it whatsoever.

Has small feathery spots on his body when he's in humanoid demon form (Form 2). Like, the center of his chest, back of his neck, cheekbones, and his ankles all grow feathers when he transforms.

only wears reading glasses. his eyesight actually isn't that bad, it just helps him see things clearer. 

hates it when his room smells like him like he just can't stand it. on occasion his brothers will come in and just randomly spend time in there when he's not working. the smell of family helps him relax.

actually enjoys the nickname Lucy but won't admit that. 

is genuinely a good cook just doesn't do it often because of all the work he has to do.

bleeds a deep blue with a thin red sheen. black gums and oral flesh. not due to health issues they're just like that; the fall physically altered their bodies in more ways than one. also has retractable fangs but they're non-existent when retracted. his mouth is just incisors literally. 

long, flat tongue. pointed and sharp at the end. 

Mammon:

hates the color green. nothing wrong with anyone wearing it but he cannot stand the color anywhere in his room or on him. 

has partial tritanopia. it mostly affects his red/purple vision. can see most colors pretty okay, though. especially green and god he hates it. 

ok please hear me out: he's got bad eyesight. you will never catch him without contacts or glasses because he will not be caught lacking ever again. 

has pointed ears. very sharp and long. 

he actually does have a tail, but not in the humanoid demon form (Form 2). when he gets to the next stage, a more humanoid monsterish demon (Form 3), his tail sprouts from his lower back. not very long, but very sharp, scaly, and has spines on the back.

has and will use his horns as corkscrews. easy solution! 

has retractable claws in his hands and feet

flaps his wings indignantly to get attention, especially around MC or to overpower overlapping voices. something about them commands attention and he's proud of it.

bleeds gold and has a black tongue like Lucifer, but golden oral flesh. can't explain it i just feel it in my soul. 

his blood is naturally corrosive. will literally burn not only your skin, but the skin of his brothers as well. can dissolve metals in seconds. do not let him bleed around you. 

has generally sharp teeth, his canines being longer and sharper. teeth have a nice golden sheen to them. the first time you saw his teeth u were convinced he was wearing grills cuz???? 

thick black forked tongue but fork is not very prominent. presents more like a split tongue than a fork. 

his tongue is also super abrasive. has tiny keratin projections like a cat's tongue. won't really hurt if he licks you but it's a weird sensation. 

Leviathan:

can't hear well above ground and needs a greater water pressure to hear better. he's a deep sea demon so it's a little obvious.

responds better to light than color and actually also can't differentiate between colors very well. deep sea thing, it's the light that matters more than the color of it. he can still see color, just that physically speaking, flipping his lights on and off will get his attention quicker than holding a paper in front of his face.

since he's a deep sea demon, and there's lots of pressure in the deep sea, his body expands when he's above sea level, hence: he is slightly chubby (round face, protruding pudgy tummy, you can't exactly tell because he always dresses baggy). argue with the wall. 

pupils are more slit-like. still rounded in humanoid form (Form 1) but definitely slit-like. become fully slits when he's in his humanoid demon form (Form 2). 

has two sets of eyelids; 2nd set is clear and behind his normal eyelids. they close horizontally and are used to protect his eyes in saltwater and allow him to see. 

has gills (located on neck and sides of his torso) and therefore has a greater lung capacity than any of his brothers. his gills are also sensitive and somewhat erogenous. ask before you touch them please or else he'll jump out of his skin.

neck is very long. is actually the second tallest of the brothers, you just can't tell because of how much he slouches. 

has fins behind his ears, on his forearms, and on his calves and ankles. they are large, shimmery, and a blue-purple color. not super sensitive but be gentle when you touch them bc they're privy to tear. 

can flap his fins and does this when he's excited.

has scales all over his body in humanoid demon form (Form 2), randomly placed in thick groups (shoulder blades, cheeks, neck, hips). they are small, smooth, shimmery, and midnight blue.

will often swim around in his aquarium. is on good terms with every creature he has in there and is always bringing a new one. 

he constantly looks wet because his scales and fins are so shimmery but he's not wet he's just shiny. 

tail is actually very thin and brittle at the end. will grow back if it breaks off but he's not fond of that happening. it's much stronger and heavier at the base. he can crush a human femur with that.

pointed ears like Mammon, even in his humanoid form (Form 1). 

bleeds orange, has lavender gums and oral flesh. seven rows of fangs, and the lesser four are retractable. also has the longest fangs of his brothers. 

forked tongue forked tongue!! it's very very long and thin and deep blue. his taste buds are scattered among the inside of his mouth rather than on his tongue. 

it's also abrasive, like Mammon's, but his tongue will actually hurt. like, actually, unless it's the underside. 

Satan:

can't remember where I saw this but someone said his feather boa is a collection of Lucifer's feathers and I wholeheartedly agree. that's exactly what they are. he does this out of spite. 

his hands are abnormally large, on par with Beel's size. all the better to destroy with!

i know what the website says but they're taller in my hcs anyway. and I headcanon that he's the shortest. he's the smallest. by like, one inch shorter than Asmo (who i hc to be abt 6'2-5, so Satan is just under that range). it's so unfortunate BUT he grows into the second tallest when he transforms into his full demon form :] (Form 4)

can hear and see very well. has one of the most heightened senses of the brothers.

also has slit-like pupils like Levi.

has retractable claws in both his hands and feet. 

has two thick, protruding black ridges on his back leading to his tail. they are scaly and of the same material as his horns. they present more like a heavily ridged spine in his humanoid form (Form 1), but they become more obvious in his humanoid demon form (Form 2).

loves to stare at cats at midnight because his eyes are the same shape as theirs at that time. will often sneak out to find a cat and simply stare.

his tail is scaly, but not like Levi's. the scales are much bigger and thicker, like uneven chunks of metal. 

the end of it is pointed

his tail isn't really sensitive, but it is ticklish if you can get to the skin underneath the scales.

has small gauges. can't explain it, these are the only piercings he has. 

bleeds a bright, sickly green. has forest green gums and oral flesh. Teeth are normal but his canines are heavily pronounced, longer and sharper than the surrounding teeth. his molars are also abnormally sharp, the edges pointed and elongated. 

tongue is forked like Mammon's in that it presents more like a split tongue. his is barely there. also, has teeth on his tongue. small fangs along the sides of it. it's a sickly green. Mammon hates watching Satan talk. 

Asmodeus: 

His pupils are horizontal bars, like that of a goat. surprisingly unnoticeable unless you stare.

has never gotten a single blemish on his skin ever but that doesn't stop him from using skincare products anyway!

naturally smells like roses, but around humans, he smells like their deepest desires.

his wings are not very strong. he can't fly for very long or very high either.

he has a birthmark the shape of a lipstick kiss mark on his left hip. he's so proud of it and will show it off unprovoked.

has very light, almost unnoticeable freckles. doesn't like to cover them up because when he goes full manticore demon form (Form 3 and 4), his whiskers show up in the same area. it's uncomfortable.

his ears are pointed slightly. not as much as Mammon's, but still pointed.

very frail. not necessarily a bad thing, just surprising. his health could shatter instantaneously. while he may not die from something, he could be bedridden for a while. 

bleeds a glittery pink and his blood is a natural aphrodisiac. gums and oral flesh appear normal but are actually an unsettlingly bright pink color. has fangs, most of his teeth are slightly pointed. they're the sharpest fangs of the brothers. 

forked tongue except it's in three segments. they're all shaped like normal tongues but abnormally long and the middle one is the longest. bright pink and slightly abrasive. also pretty thick. has some of his taste buds on his bottom jaw.

Beelzebub:

also has horizontal bars for pupils. also strangely unnoticeable unless you stare. 

the largest, tallest, and bulkiest of his brothers, but weighs slightly less than Mammon and Lucifer because their wings are particularly heavy. 

you never have to worry about him choking because he won’t. it always goes down the right pipe i promise.

is a great cook! can never finish though. the ingredients are gone before he’s finished. hes the type to make cookie dough and then eat the dough. never making the cookies. it’s not his fault though he’s just super hungry.

MC and Belphie work together to provide Beel with a secret stash of food so that he doesn’t always clear out the fridge. it’s a win-win.

wings are very lightweight, as are his horns. he never beats his wings because he sounds like a giant fly when he does and it has disturbed more than enough people at this point. will buzz them when eating particularly good food. he can’t help that. 

has antennae along with his horns. long, thin, and black. almost invisible if you don’t pay attention. 

can communicate with flies and other small insects but doesn’t bother to do so very often. will tell them to stay away from MC if MC doesn’t like bugs. 

bleeds red, but an odd oversaturated and bright red. gums and oral flesh are the same color, but his tongue is black. not forked, but very flat and long, allowing for more room for food in his mouth and down his throat. 

all of his teeth are fangs except for his molars for grinding. his molars, however, have elongated sharp edges like Satan’s. teeth are stained red at the roots so it appears that his teeth are bloody. they’re not, they’re just like that. 

when starving, his saliva and blood are extremely, extremely acidic. will dissolve skin in seconds. when just typically hungry, it's about as acidic as gastric acid. 

Belphegor:

can switch back and forth between normal vision and negative light vision. usually sees in negative because his eyes are too tired and everything is constantly bright :(

also has horizontal bar pupils like Beel and Asmo. 

eyes droop downwards and have a hypnotizing look to them (both Beel and Asmo have this as well). the three younger brothers are particularly good at human seduction because of this trait.

is the youngest and therefore has the youngest brother attitude. iykyk. 

is probably more of a troublemaker than Mammon is. Mammon may be in financial debt but Belphie is in moral debt. Will embarrass all of his brothers (except Beel sometimes) and think nothing of it. doesn’t always get away with stuff though. what goes around comes around…!

would not be as close with Satan as he is canonically if they didn’t have hating Lucifer in common. but because they do have that in common, they’ve found other things to like about each other. Satan will keep quiet reading in the library if Belphie is napping there and in turn Belphie will spare Satan from the next round of exposing his brothers. win-win.

he resembles a satyr in his humanoid demon form (Form 2). his lower half is covered with spotted cow fur and his feet become hooves. 

tail is a mix of scales and fur. the scales are closer to the root of his tail, on his body, and eventually becomes more fur as it reaches the tip.

when angry or upset, will whip his tail around and crack it on the nearest hard surface (floor, table, wall, etc) multiple times. it sounds like a whip and is very startlingly loud. 

gets angry a lot. is also surprisingly very very expressive. 

has vitiligo and his spots are where the fur in his full demon form are lighter colors. 

has retractable claws but doesn't often use them.

bleeds purple with a red sheen. gums and oral flesh are black, but his tongue is purple.

has fangs, but they're probably the least prominent of his brothers. closest to normal human canines. however, he has the second strongest bite force of the brothers (first strongest is beel, third is satan). 

Dateable Side Characs:

Diavolo:

naturally high body temperature. constantly warm. how does he not sweat so much? we'll never know.

his horns at the base are very sensitive. like, extremely. he'll jump 10 feet if your fingers brush against them.

his laugh is naturally extra like that. he doesn't mean to be extra it's just like that.

secretly really wants to make a pact with MC but obviously can't, for multiple reasons. feels left out :/

his yawns are almost as animated and ridiculous as his laugh is. he's so silly.

totally a morning person. ask him to stay up late and he will conk out immediately.

very fond of and fascinated with humans and is enamored every time he talks to MC or Solomon. never lets it show. Barbatos knows, though.

is only one more inch taller than Beel. 

ik it's canon that none of the brothers are as strong as Dia but I like to hc that he'd have a hard time fighting any of them, Beel especially. if both of them were lucid and fully aware, Dia would eventually come out on top, but not without a grueling struggle.

his bodily fluids are as hot as magma. didn't even notice because of how warm he is until MC got burned from eating off the same spoon as him.

bleeds a brighter gold than Mammon. gums and oral flesh are also gold, but his tongue is black and forked similar to Mammon's.

huge fangs. they stick out of his lips sometimes.

his eyes aren't like the younger three demon brothers, but they can be very hypnotizing. he can't turn it on or off, so everyone usually ends up relenting to him because of it. except Barbatos and Thirteen, they are the only two immune to it. 

Barbatos:

in contrast to Dia this guy is constantly freezing. like touch his hands or neck and you'll feel like you've got frostbite. 

it's physically impossible for him to offer body warmth so just accept his tea instead

is a total tea enthusiast. even he doesn't know why. he just loves finding new teas to make.

similarly enamored with humans, but particularly with MC. less so with Solomon because he’s just not like other humans.

his power is definitely on par with Dia’s, if not more. this is why he was absolutely a necessary ally to Dia. Barbatos would be far worse as a neutral party or enemy.

there isn’t much he isn’t good at except board games. for whatever reason, if it’s not chess, he just can’t get the hang of it. even monopoly confuses him but he always somehow ends up owning the boardwalk. dumb luck or his sin? we may never know.

has gills like Levi along his neck and sides. his are much larger, however, and grow into patterned grooves on his back.

he has long hair. i know it's short in canon but in my heart? his hair is longer, like down to his mid-back. all of his hair is like a gradient, except it's slanted, if that makes sense. more hair will be teal on his left than on his right, and the gradient continues at an angle.

haaaaates taking off his gloves unless it's to touch people he loves. for example, he'll slip them off to pat Luke on the head or squeeze Dia's shoulder or to hug MC. 

his hands are perfect, btw. inexplicably perfect. something about the bone structure in his hands is just so alluring.

his tail is cold and constantly slimy. not unhygienic, just slimy. also very strong. he can lift and hold heavy things pretty well with it.

hates rats AND mice. both are committers of unforgivable crimes to him. but he's a bit of a scaredy cat. will yelp and hide behind the closest person (except Luke and most of the demon brothers) if a rat or mouse appears suddenly. 

bleeds a shimmery paris green. gums and oral flesh are the same color. his teeth are a blinding white, though. hard to look at.

tongue is similar to his tail in appearance and shape, except segmented into three like Asmodeus’s tongue. it's also freezing cold.

yk how i said asmodeus has the sharpest fangs of the brothers? well this guy has the sharpest fangs period. literally. his tongue and oral flesh is a bit thick to prevent his teeth from constantly cutting the inside of his mouth.

Simeon:

hair is really coily. idc what his hair looks like canonically. it's coily to me. also naturally soft and perfect like he has effortlessly perfect coils. 

lips are pretty thick, probably has the thickest lips of all characters. suuuuper kissable. two-toned. 

he is naturally constantly the perfect amount of warm. cuddles and hugs and small touches from him are always perfect because he's always the right temperature.

has the toothiest, goofiest grins ever. he doesn't grin often though. usually he just smiles.

is surprisingly super petty and will not let shit slide. will not. don't try it bc he's not the one. 

he KNOWS his outfit is a little revealing. he KNOWS when you're looking. and no, he won't stop you nor is he ashamed of it, but he will chide you if you go too far. 

will always be bad with technology and will always beat Barbatos in board games. except chess.

began writing TSL as an outlet for his wrath. it was therapeutic and worked to dissolve his wrath, but he does continue to struggle with it.

is actually super clever and knowing. on par with Barbatos and Solomon in terms of sheer knowledge. it just isn't readily apparent about him.

isn't exactly fond of stormy weather because his outfits include elaborate capes and he hates it when they get caught up in the wind and no longer appear elegant

dresses like a fall christian girl when it's cold out. sweaters and skinny jeans galore.

has normal oral flesh and gums, the only difference is that unlike other angels, Simeon has unusually sharp and long canines. 

normal tongue too, nothing to worry about.

Solomon:

he knows how to cook. he just loves how doing it incorrectly always manages to piss people off. he gets a good kick out of it.

has been alive for a very long time but still can't read analog clocks right, especially ones without numbers.

will occasionally disguise himself as a college student and attend classes to keep himself up to date with what is being taught. usually erases memories of students and teachers once he's done attending.

he knows he's immortal but he likes to live like he can die via regular things that could kill a human.

isn’t exactly an asshole, is just somehow an expert at pissing everyone off. he’s genuinely likeable, he’s just never gotten enough of how funny it is to piss people off. 

is still human but hanging around demons and angels has changed him in odd ways. for example, he’ll have an oddly strong sense of virtue, but at the same time value corruption.

obviously is on the side of humans, no matter what happens. its why he’s so attached to MC despite MC being very close with the brothers. secretly, he wants MC to choose him, too. 

normal human anatomy unfortunately. 

pays for his immortality in purity. it is why Thirteen mentioned his flame still sparkles, but it’s different. his soul becomes less pure and more corrupted the longer he lives on. ultimately this has no effect on his health, but it simply states that there’s really only one option for his afterlife. 

totally normal human anatomy. is surprisingly really healthy and doesn’t often get sick. 

a/n: wellllll that's all for now yippee!!!!!!!!! i hope you all enjoyed my little hcs. ive had this in the drafts for, like... a very long time, but just never got around 2 posting it, so i hope you all enjoy this. please leave a like, comment, and a reblog if you liked this post! i love 2 know that you all enjoy my works! also, if u have hcs about the demon dateables that you'd like to share, PLEASE TELL ME!!! i love sharing and discussing hcs, especially anatomy ones! its so much fun!!!

Character Sheet

Character- Star

Name- Dummy

Nicknames- Star, Light, Bright, Cookie

Gender-

Species- Angel Dummy

Occupation- Guardian "Angel", Training Dummy

Text Color- Gold or Desaturated Yellow

You can ask them questions :)

-Depiction of Star. Note that I am not very good at art.

-Depiction of Fallen Star. Note that I am getting better at art since I drew the image above.

Overview

Star is classified as a sentient dummy. After coming across a guardian angel, Star was so excited to see the angel, having heavy admiration for the angel's work that eventually Star was inspired to try and become a guardian angel themselves. Despite not being an angel and having a heavy lack of strength, Star tries their best to defend those who don't have anyone to protect them. Star's devotion towards trying to be a guardian angel derives from the concept that a dummy is supposed to help people... typically by getting injured as a training or testing dummy.

Appearance

True form

Skin tone- #7f7f7f

Height- 5`4 (accurately a Dummy would be 4`6 but I don't wanna use that...)

Weight- 90 Lb

Physical appearance- nothing of note. Just a gray person.

Pretender form

Height- 5`4

Weight- 97 Lb

Physical appearance- A dummy with two pairs of wings on their back, the top pair is golden and sparkles, the bottom one is white. There are two pairs of wings on the head too. Star also has two angelic rings around their head covered in eyes.

Sometimes they'll appear with medium lengthed white hair with a similar color to their head wings.

The wings they have do not work at all. They can be flapped around but Star cannot fly.

The eyes surrounding Star's head DO work, allowing Star to see in every direction alongside seeing ghosts and other things not visible to the average human eye. These eyes cannot close, even while sleeping, but they can move and depict Star's emotions.

Star's two normal eyes are blindfolded, because of this, you will nearly never notice if Star is crying.

Fallen Form

Height- 5`4

Weight- 99 LB

Same physical attributes as the Pretender form.

They wear a cloak for comfort.

their hair is ruffled, more unkempt, and messy.

Their head wings are angled down constantly.

Their mouth is typically filled with excess blood created from stress.

The pupils in their eyes appear small and tired.

Dried blood that was coughed up stains their torso

-Fallen form render

Abilities

Shapeshifting

Star is a shapeshifter, they can shapeshift their body to their own will. Star uses this to form the wings, eyes, and halo on themself. Shapeshifting takes energy to do and Star can wear themself out if they overuse it. Star will sometimes shapeshift into a scythe and throw themself at their opponent. This scythe is uncreatively called "Angelsknife" If Star shifts their form beyond their normal dummy self, it will drain energy, even more energy will be drained if they shapeshift into not having their basic organs. They are constantly shapeshifted to appear to be an angel, meaning they are constantly draining energy doing so.

Necromancy

Star can use magic to revive the dead. This sounds useful, however Star only knows how to use it on themself. Star can bring themself to life and no one else, and they cannot perform this spell while they are dead... If Star uses necromancy right before they die, they can bring themself back to life. This allows Star to effectively avoid death as long as they know they're going to die.

Weapon

Sword of Starlight

The sword of starlight was a gift from Daisy Bell. It is their favorite object. Being given it made them extremely happy. The sword emits a faint glow and sparkles. It can turn people into sparkles too. Star wouldn't ever give it up, or anything Daisy has given them, even if it was at the cost of Star's life.

Behavior

Star has barely any care for their life. Star thinks that they are supposed to die in the name of someone else.

Star is optimistic and positive towards everyone, even if it seems unusual to be so in a situation.

Because of their lack of care, this leads to them having no fear or extra respect of beings with far more power than them, including gods.

Star has impostor syndrome, meaning they doubt their own skills and feels like they aren't fit to be a guardian angel. (However, they quite literally are an impostor of a guardian angel, so the feelings are justified.)

Star will become extremely upset if they fail to protect someone, Which can have harsh consequences.

If Star gets overwhelmed, they will begin to lose control of their muscles as they will start to rapidly and randomly shake. This includes Star's heart, so if Star gets too stressed out or upset, their heart will explode. (their heart no longer explodes :D)

If scared, (which doesn't happen often) Star will use shapeshifting to distort their face to appear disturbing. This is done in an attempt to appear intimidating.

Star sometimes lacks comprehension of social cues and can often act in ways unwarranted to whatever situation is going on.

Star sometimes wonders if the other training dummies are also sentient and just cannot move, being subject to dying over and over with no one ever knowing they're sentient. This deeply disturbs Star.

The only show Star watches is Family Guy. There is no explanation behind this.

Star's favorite Pokémon is a Substitute Doll (the Pokémon that gets summoned when you use the move substitute that takes damage for the Pokémon using the move.). They refuse to believe anyone who says that isn't an actual Pokémon.

Star will usually only curse if they're extremely upset or breaking down out of stress.

They sit at their mailbox an hour each day waiting for letters.

Star would rather not have a face than cry. Star doesn't think anyone should care for them as much as others.

Fallen behavior

"Star" becomes "Fallen" if their stress reaches a point to where it's threatening to their life

"Star" is far more violent and aware. They would go to extreme lengths in the name of protecting others.

"Star" will begin to cough up blood if they get more stressed than they already are, this is because of abnormal heart activity.

They shake violently constantly, they wear a cloak and other comforting objects to try and lessen this.

They do not bother with anyone who is deemed not worth protecting

Despite the appearance, "Star's" personality remains upbeat and optimistic, they are just extremely stressed and prone to violet outbursts because of it.

They apologize constantly for being not good enough to prevent whatever bad thing is happening.

"Star" constantly goes to sleep to avoid reality.

Relations

Family

Star considers every single other dummy like them to be family. Nearly every other dummy isn't sentient however, and just stands still. Parent- Workspace Grandparent- Game (huh, what do you mean those don't count?)

Other

Burger, Max, Unpleasant, pleasant, Jaws, Lenora, Gabriel, Cinyu, Zephyros, Marth, Grat, Ultra, aevry, Asa, Zandee, ,pancakepieman45, Unus, Randumb, Aculia, Artemis and Korissa

Star views Daisy Bell, Emily, and Alice as siblings/cousins and heavily cares for them.

Star's parents are Zailyn and Lamentia. Who essentially created Star.

Star sees Asteral as a cousin

Seth is also Star's family

Star sees Ebrofour as an uncle

Songs

Yes. They're all just generic royalty free songs. This is because Star is generic.

Also, Their voice sounds like an old text to speech program without the inaccuracies of a machine.

Star's first ever design was made by @abagofstalechiips

Star's fallen design was partially created by @burger-exp

Star has a house. They spent like 40 thousand dollars buying a baseplate in a small pocket dimension. I guess you could go there if you want? It's not like they go inside often anyways.

Subpar Person

This is just me "Out of Character"

I'm decently different from Star.

No I don't like family guy, but I think the characters are funny.

I made the little header page dividers in this sheet myself, thats just how dedicated i am!!1!1!

I don't typically ever do anything like this so my writing is not the best.

CHARACTER SHEET!

BASIC INFO

Name: Asteral

Nicknames: Adderall (Jae), Weird Fluffly Angel (Ultra), Archer (Fox, Marcid), Puppet (Scribble/the Deity), Angel Man (Jovial)

Gender: Agender

Species: Uh, a throne?? I don’t know, I’m created from an orb of light.

Birthday: 15th of November

Age: I think like, 15 or 16. Something around that. [both ages listed are mentally]

Text Colour:

"This uh, yellow thing."

Disorders:

"I don't think I have anything that I know of yet."

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

BACKSTORY

[in short]

Asteral is a vessel and a puppet for this god called the Deity, who originally used them for causing chaos and not getting caught before gaining sentience and being able to think, move, and speak for themselves. A few months later after the whole sentience thing, they start going to this place called the “Mindscape” with this one person who just so happens to be the Deity in a new vessel when they sleep. One night, the “Deity” then stabs themself in the head which lead to some of their form before that breaking and no longer needing to rely on the Deity’s but instead their own soul to live.

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

APPEARANCE

Old Form:

[Credits to: @cookiestar360 for originally making]

5’2 feet tall

Two white and yellow angelic rings covered in eyes. Allowing Asteral to be able to see in all directions at once, at the cost of them not being able to turn their head too fast or else they’ll get dizzy.

Medium sized white and yellow head wings with small tufts on almost the back of their head

Small light yellow hair tufts that are the same colour as Asteral’s head and arms

A white suit paired with black pants, the suit also has two thin yellow stripes near the end of their sleeves

A white and gold cape split into two, with stars on the ends.

A yellow bowtie that's larger than usual for some unknown reason. No reason for existing other than decoration

"Pure" Form

5'4 feet tall

Four pure white, long head wings with two pointing up, and two pointing behind their head. These wings are able to be flapped around but not actually used for flight on their own.

White halo behind their head resembling the spawn point "sun" symbol

No traces of a face, just a mask created by Scribble.

Same suit but white pants, having two stripes instead of one at the end instead.

Shoulder length white hair. Fox says it's a wig but it's actually real.

Two white waist wings. They're able to function like their head wings but it'll tire them out if Asteral tried to fly with them without turning the cape into wings.

The rest is basically the same stuff.

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

ABILITIES

Teleportation

Asteral's way of navigation other than hot sauce. They basically use this as an alternative to flight by "teleporting fast enough into the sky."

Shapeshifting

Almost never used on the occasion to help, but mainly used to get away with something and messing with people. The only part that Asteral can change in their usual form without becoming someone else is their cape.

Invisibility

Do I have to explain?

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

RELATIONS

Family

Asteral has no biological family that they know of, but their found family's side of people they are aware of consists of Star [cousin], Zailyn [aunt], Lamentia [aunt], and Max [adoptive cousin]

Friends

Sunny, Grat, Jaws, Ultra, Marcid, Fox, Zan, Asa, Bakon, RanDumb, Daisy (?), Shirou, and Isabelle

Role Models

Daisy, Star, Zailyn [man this list is empty.]

OTHER

Asteral views Sunny as a distant relative

Uhhh working on the rest of this soon

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

PERSONALITY

Just a simple overview

Due to thinking of not having a personality of their own, they tend to copy traits from people they're close with. However, this has only been making the hole in their soul growing larger in order to find what they're truly supposed to be.

They also overthink alot an lash out in violent outbursts.

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

ADDITIONAL INFO

VOICE CLAIMS:

Shell Form: Scrapper - Tower World

Pure Form: C00lkidd - Roblox, Forsaken since that version has voicelines.

They can also sound like ENA blue side for people to understand them more clearly

November 15th isn't their actual birthday, Asteral just chose a random date on a calender.

Despite not having organs, Asteral is actually able to feel them inside

They'll run away at the sight of a demon who isn't Grat or Lamentia out of fear

Asteral has a strong tolerence from the cold from being at Daisy's House all day

Just because they're light, doesn't mean I can't make them be able to get sick

They both admire and fear Daisy for being a god and what she might do to them

Asteral's favourite animal is a firefly and will try and beat up people who say they don't actually glow

Their original eyes in the old form had actually been blindfolded by Star.

They actually have a lazy eye on one of their eye halos, Asteral is completely unaware of this due to never looking into a mirror.

MAIN FOCUS: Artemis

Name: Artemis [REDACTED/NO LAST NAME.]

True Name: Akane Hanamoto

Nicknames: Art, Arte, A “Work of Arte,” Sacrifical Lamb.

Gender: Female

Species: Goddess

Titles: Goddess of Peace, Goddess of the Court.

Text color: Red

Open for asks.

^ Depiction in art. Made by me.

Overview

Artemis is classified as a goddess, though aswell as an angel, yet they don’t consider themselves one ever since the incident going on at her birthday. Her personality is described as a kind and gentle person, yet could be rude at times due to being extremely gullible and easy to manipulate.

Appearance

True form

Now revived, Artemis’ true form consists of her single wing, a flower crown given by Daisy Bell, a few bandages on her eyes due to being blind in her right eye, an angelic hairpin, and her usual dress. She seems smaller now, ranging at around 5’3 and 76 pounds.

Fake form

Artemis’ fake form is typically used in dreams, as it is used to corrupt the minds of others to make them see that she is ‘fine and does not need help.’ This form consists of two wings, biblical eye rings, and basically Artemis before the birthday party. She looks much healthier in this form

Behavior

Often pauses mid-sentence or mid-action, trying to orient herself.

Occasionally forgets the current time or place, referencing the past as if it’s still happening.

Touches or clutches her chest or arms when overwhelmed—grounding herself in her new reality.

Feels emotions very intensely—she might go from serene to panicked or furious quickly.

Craves closeness but fears abandonment—may over-apologize or suddenly push others away.

Has a strong need for predictability—changes in plans or surroundings can deeply upset her.

Might engage in stimming behaviors (e.g. rubbing her fingers together, humming, repetitive phrases).

Hyperfixates on certain peaceful rituals like arranging flowers or singing old hymns in a specific tone.

Relations

Person|(Status)|[Liking]|[Trust]|Reason

Anastasia (Biological Mother) — [0%] [0%] — Artemis despises Anastasia due to her trapping her in the Minka and beating her on several occasions. She only wishes the worst for Anastasia.

Atlas (Biological Father) — [0%] [0%] — Similar to Anastasia, Artemis despises Atlas due to him sexually harassing her on multiple occasions, and him killing her.

Pancakepieman45 (Adoptive Father) — [67%] [32%] — Artemis does truly love Pancake, but can’t trust him on certain occasions because he will go against her wishes.

Brutus/Zephyros (Adoptive Father) — [78%] [77%] — Artemis loves Brutus, choosing to cling to him and trust him as if he were her actual dad.

Nora (Adoptive Mother) — [87%] [96%] — Artemis adores Nora. The reason why certain rankings are down is because she chose to get together with someone who tried to kill her kid.

Daisy, Daisy Bell (Niece? On some level?) — [75%] [74%] — Artemis likes Daisy, but just wishes she is able to speak to her more.

more will be added soon. :)

Powers

Artemis has the ability to manipulate reality. She possesses an incredibly powerful and complex skill that allows her to alter the fabric of existence itself. This ability goes beyond simple physical or mental manipulation—it enables her to reshape the very laws of nature, time, space, and even perception. She can modify the environment, change the course of events, or even create and erase objects and people at will.

Her manipulation can take on various forms, such as:

Physical Alterations: Artemis can change the physical world around her. For instance, she could move objects without touching them, create matter out of nothing, or alter the appearance of people and places. This could involve transforming objects into different substances or reshaping landscapes.

Time Manipulation: Artemis is able to accelerate, slow down, or even rewind time. She could stop time completely, make events happen in reverse, or alter the course of history by making small changes that have vast ripple effects.

Perception Shifting: Artemis can bend what others perceive as real. She can create illusions so convincing that others experience them as true reality, or erase memories, alter emotions, or even make people believe false things without realizing it.

Emotional or Mental Reality: Artemis is also able to manipulate not just the physical world, but the psychological state of others. This means controlling or altering how people think, feel, or even perceive reality itself. She might make someone think they’re in a different situation or create a false memory that feels just as real as any other.

Artemis possesses the extraordinary power to be present everywhere simultaneously (also known as omnipresence), transcending the limitations of space and time. Unlike typical characters who are bound by physical location, she can exist in multiple places at once, perceive all events as they happen in different locations, and interact with the world on a scale that seems beyond comprehension

Omnipresence allows her to have:

Unlimited Presence: Artemis does not have to be in one place to experience or influence events. She can exist in every corner of the universe or reality, from the smallest microbe to the farthest galaxy, all at the same time. It’s not about physically traveling or moving—she simply is wherever she wishes to be.

Absolute Awareness: Artemis can see and hear everything happening in real-time across vast distances, accessing any location, event, or moment as though they were physically there. She can understand the thoughts and feelings of everyone, everywhere, without having to be directly involved. This awareness can sometimes extend to understanding all possible timelines or events that could happen, making her aware of every potential future.

Manipulation of Space and Time: Artemis can observe or act within past, present, and future events all at once. She can influence or intervene at multiple points in time without the limitations of linear progression. She could simultaneously experience different moments and manipulate occurrences without being confined by temporal restrictions.

Invisibility and Intangibility: Since Artemis is not restricted to a specific location, she is able to choose to remain invisible or intangible in certain scenarios, making her incredibly elusive. She can interact with people or events subtly, shaping situations from the background without ever needing to physically engage.

Limitless Interaction: Artemis can influence multiple places simultaneously, engaging in countless actions and conversations without exhaustion or limits. For example, they could be a comforting presence for someone in distress in one corner of the world while quietly averting a disaster in another location, all at the same time.

Supernatural Angel Wing Overview (Part 6/7)

[luckykittysshowerthoughts]

Micheal's character is so depressing and so relatable at the same time. Also I wonder what your take is on his and luci's relationship, since they seem pretty close in celestial realm then in nb we see Michael highkey struggling which i don't blame bc he essentially lost 7 siblings at once (including lilith) then in og micheal is still very attached even though he isn't as bad as in nb. I just want your thoughts (you're the only one of 3 including my friend that I trust on Michael analysis/characterization)

First off, thank you so much for listening to my ramblings and praising them so. It's making this hyperfixating little freak very happy

Now, into the analysis. Though, this one is less an analysis and more me compiling everything canon has told us so far, because there's actually a lot there. It's just so spread apart over the course of the story that a lot of people miss the forest for the trees (which I think is another reason Michael as a whole is so misunderstood by the fandom), so it's nice to have a little overview.

Michael and Lucifer's Relationship

It was very nice to see the brotherly tones of Lucifer and Michael's relationship before the war. They seemed to have a typical friendly rivalry, and it was really cute to hear of the two messing with each other in very sibling-like ways.

One example I can think of off the top of my head was angel Lucifer camping out at the site of Michael's new observatory on the night before its grand opening, just to stick it to Michael that he got to his much-anticipated event first. That felt very much like a "little shit sibling" moment.

There was also Michael teasing Lucifer about his wings:

There was also the two of them attempting to pin Father's assignments onto each other, as Lucifer explains here:

They seemed to have a healthy dose of sibling rivalry to their relationship, and it was honestly really adorable.

It's also very clear that the two respected each other greatly. In Season 3, Mammon goes into detail about how much Michael loved Lucifer:

And in Nightbringer, angel Lucifer clearly held Michael in high regard- he seemed to believe Michael was more worthy mentor of Mammon, that he could give Mammon a better shot than he could.

However... I also think their relationship was always a bit dysfunctional. In Nightbringer we see a lot more of how obsessive Michael is- not even just in the wake of his grief after the fall, but even before that. Like this anecdote of Michael constantly sneaking into Lucifer's room:

Now, that's a clear violation of boundaries if I ever did see one. While the two were close, I think it's pretty clear Michael was a little too attached to Lucifer, and that likely caused problems in their relationship even before war broke out. We did get an explanation for this behavior in Season 3 of the OG, though that only paints an even more dysfunctional picture:

Michael idolizing Lucifer to this degree, and projecting himself onto him, is clearly not healthy. And I think Lucifer very well understood that, considering Satan is speaking from his memories of Lucifer's perspective here.

Another remark in Season 3 from angel Lucifer himself indicates that Lucifer didn't exactly see Michael as someone he could confide in:

All in all, I think their relationship was very complicated- as most relationships in Obey Me are. I think they both loved each other deeply, but Michael is the type of person to love a little too hard and that created problems.

Going into speculation territory now, I also think their relationship was tainted by their status in the Celestial Realm and the expectations that were placed upon them. I elaborated on this a little more in this post, but to summarize, I believe Michael is the eldest brother who had a rough time living up to the title while watching Lucifer become everything an eldest sibling "should" be. I think Michael was under a lot of pressure that he wasn't quite mature enough to handle properly, and he knew it. Meanwhile, Lucifer was also pushed to be a perfect, flawless Seraph, the pride and joy of the Celestial Realm- and the perfectionism instilled in him by their father only promoted Michael's idolization of him. We have one brother incredibly insecure with the way he presents himself, leaning on the image of perfection created by an equally insecure brother. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

I also suspect that Father may have played favorites between the two. I don't have any real concrete evidence of this, but something I've been thinking about lately are the Ring of Light and the Ring of Wisdom, which were created for Lucifer and Michael respectively. In official merch (and possibly in-story as well I don't remember), the Ring of Light is shown to be gold, while the Ring of Wisdom is described to be made of brass and iron. Yeah... if this was intentional I think it's pretty clear who the favorite was here. Come on, at least give Michael silver. I don't think Michael is petty enough to be upset about this specifically, he's not Barb, but it might be indicative of a larger problem in the family dynamic. If Father favored Lucifer, that could also be an explanation for Michael's strange idolization of him.

[obeymebutnotlikethat]

Insert from: Solstice

Lucifer was a shiny trophy for Diavolo, almost a prize possession. This explained the dynamic between the two as Lucifer instinctively stood uncaring behind the Demon Prince. He did not care to invest in issues that did not pertain to him or Diavolo. Even then he tended to offset the task to another Demon while keeping an overview. 

Diavolo did not see an opening to create a bridge between realms. No, he met an opportunity to hold something he obsessed over for centuries. He fawned and mourned over Lucifer’s original wings with a twisted sense of hunting. The usual ending of a successful hunt entailing the remains such as horns and wings mounted upon the wall. They were certain he would’ve hung them as tapestry over his bed.

It became clear his means of standing with the brothers only stretched as far as keeping the eldest in his grasp. If Lucifer were to flee then none would have shelter or freedom. All were formulated based on Lilith.

Lilith the sweet younger sister disobeyed orders. Their father sent three Angels to bring her home. One was Lucifer who offered her a choice she refused. She met with Adam in the town of Eden and her love was not received. Adam didn’t meet it the same way the brothers did so she fled. Her wings stretched towards her father and he was angered by her belief.

The brothers tried to appeal to their Father which sent them to their untimely demise. Lost and confused they gathered into a world of Demons all with the faith of Lucifer. Blindly accepting the Demon Prince had seen some form of light in the reddened sky.

MC sighed as they stood in Lilith’s room. The one which shouldn’t exist, however, the House of Lamentation liked to have fun. They turned their gaze to a mirror nearly covered by a drape. How did they feel like Lilith? She didn’t survive the war or the Devildom no matter the weak reasoning Diavolo gave Lucifer. He must’ve felt like his sacrifice was for nothing.

He dropped his pride because a Demon said he could save his sister. His sister wouldn’t have survived the Devildom air but MC did. A human survived it even in their weakest state. The Angels held within the exchange program survived. They understood the envy coursing through Levi more than ever.

“It’s not natural,” Levi shuffled around his room, “I shouldn’t lash out at them.”

“It’s alright to feel hurt about the situation,” they tried to amend.

“I’m not hurt or sad or angry just envious. Like in the latest edition of My-Envy-Made-Me-Kill-The-Wretched-do-Gooder,” he sniffed.

They sweat dropped at the title. A bit too specific for the occasion but they’d let it slide.

“No they don’t,” he stopped rummaging through a bookshelf, “Those normies don’t understand and that pisses me off. No one can feel it like me.”

Man, they didn’t want to die in this timeline. One thing to get their ass kicked by a 5,000-year-old Demon another to get it kicked by a new one. Especially one who still tried to cling to his divinity.

It sobered them for a brief moment as they regarded the Demon before them. A memory crept to the front of their mind and they internally winced. Levi nearly killed them over a manga back then and this version didn’t know how to control demonic tendencies. They didn’t have a pact with any of them in this world so if something was to happen…no one would notice.

Introducing: Angel/Angelica

Quick overview:

After my last PC was tragically lost to the plant people deep in the march forever (I lost the save file) I started Angelica. She's got solid grades, loved at school, and very athletic. Spends any time she doesn't need to keep those up at the Temple, an angel through and through. Although she's almost universally loved by people that know her she's in fact extremely sadistic, and holds between distaste and straight up hatred for the "sinners" around her all the time. In combat/sex she prefers to assault and degrade participants, making them relent under unceasing beatings and insults.

Outside of the game head canons:

Instead of the Orphanage I hc she was abandoned at the Temple as a baby, who saw her as a good opportunity to raise their next "saviour" from birth. As such she's grown up surrounded by the Temple's propaganda and influence, leading to her superiority complex and religious passion. After she grew up and began displaying her angelic form she was sent to live at the Orphanage to spread the Temple's influence and "save" the other people living there, the allowance from the Temple going to paying Bailey. Her wings come and go at her whim, but the halo always hangs above her head and gives off a slight glow, which often leads to her getting stopped in the street by temple-goers to talk.

Interactions with NPCs/LIs:

Angel's main love interest is Sydney, naturally. She likes Sydney's faith and devotion to the Temple, but can get quite territorial when priests start showing Sydney too much interest, and so uses their relationship to keep Sydney and her faith in check, stopping her (Sydney is female in this save) from getting too much attention.

Angel also interacts with Whitney a lot, often butting heads as two high profile blondes at school. Angel has respect for Whitney as serving a purpose, and their understanding is generally that Whitney gets the fame and reputation of "dating" the school's angel, and Angel uses him to keep the delinquents in line so they cause less trouble at school.

Teehee that was way more writing than I thought but hopefully anyone interested now has a good idea of this horrible bitch that I love a lot. Feel free to ask questions/draw her/write about her/etc I'd be honoured if she was recognised in the community.

List of Mythic Beings by Type

Full alphabetical list of mythic creatures unsorted by type here.

Q: What is this?

A: This is a list of all Wikipedia articles that begin with the letter A and deal with a creature or person or group of people whose existence is found in accounts that don't neatly fit the modern scientific understanding of the world.

The purpose of this list is to be really open. I want writers (artists, LARPers, performers, people with imaginations, people with fun hobbies) to have an overview of the information available on Wikipedia.

Q: Are the categories from Wikipedia? If not, how do they work?

A: The groupings are my own. Their purpose is to let you quickly find tropes. So if you look under "Habitat" and then "Forest" you find Wikipedia articles referencing stories set in the woods. This could be creatures whose literal habitat is the forest, but it can also be a creature that hunts in the forest. I hope that especially groupings like "Changeling", for example, which lists all Wikipedia articles where a creature exchanges infants for their own, helps writers and other artists find what they are looking for. To make things a bit easier I also add remarks like "(some accounts)" which indicates that only some sources portray a creature a certain way and I give a bit more info so that you, dear reader, can compare and contrast creatures in the same category -- in one culture, the Changeling myth might indicate an extremely ableist society, in another culture, the Changeling myth is so abstract it's hard to imagine. I try to give people those kinds of contrasts, although of course what qualities I contrast will reflect my biases.

Q: I noticed some creatures that start with A only mentioned once in this list and not under every appropriate category.

A: I'm winging it. Please let me know when you have spotted an oversight and I'll gladly correct it. :)

TLDR

The following Wikipedia articles were too long for my project and I skipped over them. I have been working on this project for months, so every now and then I just skip articles: Angel, Angels (List), Angra Mainyu, Annunaki, Antichist, Aos Sí, Apophis, Apsara, Archon, Argus, Asha, Asmodeus, Aspidochelone, Atargatis, Aura, Azazel, Azrael.

I intend to eventually cover the above entries as well, but currently would rather like to complete this project for most mythic beings.

Morality / Reputation

I'm not doing D&D alignment here. In fact, often the accounts about creatures are contradictory, some stories insisting they are all good and others they are all evil. I just classify them as both in those cases. I'll try and explain all these categories in more detail, but the main point here is to show how the storytellers in communities subjectively feel about these beings: are these beings helpers and we like them? Then probably "benevolent" is what they are considered. Are people calling them dangerous but insisting they are not wicked? Then that should be its own category.

Strange Weakness

I don't judge, all things that chase off or defeat a monster are classified as "strange weakness" in this list. So don't wonder if some are totally mundane things that would work on humans or animals too. I could call it just "weakness" but I don't know, it's just a quirky classification scheme I guess.

(Afanc) maiden's lap (Agares) can be drawn into crystals (Aigamuxa) blind hunter (eyes on feet) (only sees prey through handstand or lying in sand) (Aillen) (poison counteracts Aillen's sleep spell, keeps poison user awake) (Aisha Qandicha) metal (Al) garlic, metal, onions, prayers, charms (Al Ana) (Wikipedia has complex descriptions of rituals to ward them off) (Ala - Ale) can be defeated by dragons or eagles (Ala - Ale) (Regional Version) Visible to Six Toed-Six Fingered People; House Shakes When they enter in human form (Ala - Ale) (Regional Version) herbs collected in levees and in places on a field where plows turn during plowing, both considered unclean because ala visit them (Ala - Ale) multiple supernatural entities bring hail and rain torrents, so since cause is unclear, custom is to bring large selection of antidotes: to bring a table in front of the house, and to put bread, salt, a knife with a black sheath, and an axe with its edge directed skywards on the table. By another custom, a fireplace trivet with its legs directed skywards, knives, forks, and the stub of the Slava candle were put on the table. (Alal) amulets (Alcyoneus) immortal as long as in his native land (Alp) lead amulet; sign of cross on diaper to stop mischief

pt III the wedding dress: crowley's shirt's ruffles (the brainrot is in terminal stages only palliative care is possible now)

OKAY. I'M SORRY FOR NOT POSTING FOR A WHILE BUT I AM HERE MAGGOTS (WHILE YOU'RE ALL BEING SO FUCKING LOVELY AND AMAZING ON THE COLLEGE POST WHICH TERRIFIES ME).

The last update was the shirt (everything related to aziracrow wedding brainrot is on my blog with the tag weirdly the nightingales wed) and I talked so long about the shirt and the Regency influences and the Jane Austen part that I realised I'd need a separate post for the ruffles. So. Here we are.

THE RUFFLES OVERVIEW: I spent too much time on this, but let's go. The ruffles were taken from that 1805-10 Regency evening gown that inspired the entire neckline, and they're the same material, muslin. They're overlaid with Alencon lace, the reason for which shall be stated below. I stopped the ruffles at the edge of the square neckline rather than going around the neck because given how the coat will be buttoned, it's not necessary and would just add bulk. For the same reason the ruffles would be sewn down at the edge with a French seam (it won't add lines to the silhouette or bulk, a maggot recommended that stitch) to prevent it from getting displaced.

THE LACE OVERVIEW: Oh, the fucking lace. Okay. So, this part of the dress was supposed to represent Shakespeare's time, the Edwardian era, from the Shakespeare/Hamlet scene in the season 1 episode 3 cold open. So I wanted to choose a lace that was popular in England at that time. I looked up the types of laces and their history, and found that Alencon lace best suited my purposes. It is the most popular lace for wedding dresses now. The lace would have motifs of birds (nightingales), leaves (Crowley's plants), angel wings (self-explanatory) and flowers (traditional for this lace).

THE NICE AND ACCURATE HISTORY: Ah, textile trade in the Edwardian era, exactly how I thought I'd be using my brainpower in the year of our Lord and Saviour Bildaddy 2024. Okay, the reason I chose Alencon lace was that during the end of the 16th century (which was around the time when Hamlet was written, 1599-1601, a direct reference to the episode), French lace was most popular in England. There were other popular lace imports, from Belgium, italy etc, as well as lace made in Devon (which wasn't as popular), but Queen Elizabeth had maintained ties with the French court and used lace on her gowns and that's how lace became fashionable. So I picked French lace.

Now the other types of French lace, Chantily lace and Argentan lace, weren't invented at the time Hamlet was written, so I was left with Alencon. The wedding thing was a bonus, honestly. Alencon lace originated in France in the 16th century, was called "Queen of Lace" and was a luxury. I do believe Aziraphale of the infamous I have standards would approve.

Soooooo. There you have it. The detailed real history behind the real lace on the ruffles of a fictional character's fictional dress for their fictional wedding that's not canon.

*contemplates life choices* Well, this isn't the very worst choice I've made, at least.

...that honour would belong to the cufflinks. Next update.
