fuck it, doodle page

Werewolf and Vampire bfs, Gislaine as a doggie, Gislaine and Ruairi as furries, some spiderRuairi/Symbiote stuff, and a Shadow/Gislaine design I did. And right in the middle is Rowan (G and R's eventual son) holding Shadow who is not pleased.

and also Alanus and Xernea as furries at the bottom.

I now arrive at the unspeakable center of my story: here is the start of my despair as a writer. Each language is an alphabet of symbols whose usage assumes a certain past shared between its speakers; how to convey to others the infinity of the Aleph, which my memory fears terribly and cannot comprehend? Mystics, in an analogous situation, would organize symbols; to define divinity, a certain Persian spoke of a bird that's somehow all birds; Alanus de Insulis spoke of a sphere whose center is everywhere, its perimeter nowhere; Ezechiel spoke of a four-faced angel who turns to the east and to the west, north and south. (My mentioning of these incomprehensible analogies isn't in vain- they have some rapport with the Aleph.) Maybe the gods wouldn't refuse me a proper metaphor, but this story would then be tainted by literature and falsehood. Besides that, the fundamental problem remains with no solution: which is to count, even fractionally, an infinite set. In that gigantic instant I momentarily saw millions of delightful or maybe horrible events: none of them surprised me as much as the fact that they all occupied the same point and did not overlap, nor were they transparent. What my eyes saw was simultaneous- what I write happens one after another, because that is how language preserves it. In any case, I managed to save something.

“My good Adso,” my master said, “during our whole journey I have been teaching you to recognize the evidence through which the world speaks to us like a great book. Alanus de Insulis said that and he was thinking of the endless array of symbols with which God, through His creatures, speaks to us of the eternal life. But the universe is even more talkative than Alanus thought, and it speaks not only of the ultimate things (which it does always in an obscure fashion) but also of closer things, and then it speaks quite clearly.

En la Argentina, un día como hoy hace 125 años (1899) nació un genio de la literatura...

[...] cumplí con sus ridículos requisitos; al fin se fue. Cerró cautelosamente la trampa; la oscuridad, pese a una hendija que después distinguí, pudo parecerme total. Súbitamente comprendí mi peligro: me había dejado soterrar por un loco, luego de tomar un veneno. Las bravatas de Carlos Argentino transparentaban el íntimo de que yo no viera el prodigio; Carlos, para defender su delirio, para no saber que estaba loco, tenía que matarme. Sentí un confuso malestar, que trate de atribuir a la rigidez, y no a la operación de un narcótico. Cerré los ojos, los abrí. Entonces vi el Aleph.

Arribo, ahora, al inefable centro de mi relato; empieza, aquí, mi desesperación de escritor. Todo lenguaje es un alfabeto de símbolos cuyo ejercicio presupone un pasado que los interlocutores comparten; ¿como transmitir a los otros el infinito Aleph, que mi temerosa memoria apenas abarca? Los místicos, el análogo trance, prodigan los emblemas: para significar la divinidad, un persa habla de un pájaro que de algún modo es todos los pájaros; Alanus de Insulis, de una esfera cuyo centro está en todas partes y la circunferencia en ninguna; Ezequiel, de un ángel de cuatro caras que a un tiempo se dirige al Oriente y al Occidente, al Norte y al Sur. (No en vano remoro esas inconcebibles analogías; alguna relación tienen con el Aleph.) Quizá los dioses no me negarían el hallazgo de una imagen equivalente, pero este informe quedaría contaminado de literatura, de falsedad. Por lo demás, el problema central es irresoluble: la enumeración, siquiera parcial, de un conjunto infinito. En ese instante gigantesco, he visto millones de actos deleitables o atroces; ninguno me asombró como el hecho de que todos ocuparan el mismo punto, sin superposición y sin transparencia. Lo que vieron mis ojos fue simultáneo: lo que transcribiré, sucesivo, porque el lenguaje lo es. Algo, sin embargo, recogeré.

En la parte inferior del escalón, hacia la derecha, vi una pequeña esfera tornasolada, de casi intolerable fulgor. Al principio la creí giratoria; luego comprendí que ese movimiento era una ilusión producida por los vertiginosos espectáculos que encerraba. El diámetro del Aleph sería de dos o tres centímetros, pero el espacio cósmico estaba ahí, sin disminución de tamaño. Cada cosa (la luna del espejo, digamos) era infinitas cosas, porque yo claramente la veía desde todos los puntos del universo. Vi el populoso mar, vi el alba y la tarde, vi las muchedumbres de América, vi una plateada telaraña en el centro de una negra pirámide, vi un laberinto rotos (era Londres), vi interminables ojos inmediatos escrutándose en mí como en un espejo, vi todos los espejos del planeta y ninguno me reflejó, vi en un traspatio de la calle Soler las mismas baldosas que hace treinta años vi en el zaguán de una casa en Fray Bentos, vi racimos, nieve, tabaco, ventas de metal, vapor de agua, vi convexos desiertos ecuatoriales y cada uno de sus granos de arena, vi en Inverness a una mujer que no olvidaré, vi la violenta cabellera, el altivo cuerpo, vi un cáncer en el pecho, vi un círculo de tierra seca en una vereda, donde antes hubo un árbol, vi una quinta de Adrogué, un ejemplar de la primera versión inglesa de Plinio, la de Philemon Holland, vi a un tiempo cada letra de cada página (de chico, yo solía maravillarme de que las letras de un volumen cerrado no se mezclaran y perdieran en el discurso de la noche), vi la noche y el día contemporáneo, vi un poniente en Querétaro que parecía reflejar el color de una rosa en Bengala, vi mi dormitorio sin nadie, vi en un gabinete de Alkmaar un globo terráqueo entre dos espejos que lo multiplican sin fin, vi caballos de crin arremolinados, en una playa del Mar Caspio en el alba, vi la delicada osatura de una mano, vi los sobrevivientes de una batalla, enviando tarjetas postales, vi en un escaparate de Mirzapur una baraja española, vi las sombras oblicuas de unos helechos en el suelo de un invernáculo, vi tigres, émbolos, bisontes, marejadas y ejércicitos, vi todas las hormigas que hay en la tierra, vi un astrolabio persa, vi en un cajón del escritorio (y la letra me hizo temblar) cartas obscenas, increíbles, precisas, que Beatriz había dirigido a Carlos Argentino, vi un adorado monumento en la Chacarita, vi la reliquia atroz de lo que deliciosamente había sido Beatriz Viterbo, vi la circulación de mi oscura sangre, vi el engranaje del amor y la modificación de la muerte, vi el Aleph, desde todos los puntos, vi en el Aleph la tierra, y en la tierra otra vez el Aleph y en el Aleph la tierra, vi mi cara y mis vísceras, vi tu cara, y sentí vértigo y lloré, porque mis ojos habían visto ese objeto secreto y conjetural, cuyo nombre usurpan los hombres, pero que ningún hombre ha mirado: el inconcebible universo.

Sentí infinita veneración, infinita lástima [...]

A few doodles of Gislaine's closer family.

Their vampire mother(Xernea) and Satyr step-father(Alanus) with a full monster form Xernea. She met Alanus when he was the victim of a stagecoach robbery and basically just left out in the cold to die.

Gislaine and their son Rowan

The late Murdoch. He at least got to see his son for the first few months of his life before he died.

And their younger brother(shorter, Loch) and Loch's husband Dova.

Loch and Dova have been married for a few years, having gotten married shortly before Murdoch had been killed. Charolette comes into the picture a little later but she's got an older brother named Amias!

Valka is also a non-player character??? Omg canon why do you always get brain worms for non-PCs

yeah I have a disease <3

a part of it is that I don't unmute much and also (as of late) can't really like see dice rolls or maps or anything, so by the mechanics of playing the game being a PC is less possible (not for lack of trying - friends have been very open about wanting to accomodate for it if I chose to attempt it)

a second part of it is that because of this ^ I've ended up on the behind the scenes crew helping to plan sessions or come up with NPC ideas (I really really like making session bgm playlists), and by nature of being in there I can make little guys who aren't necessarily played by me in the game itself but that I can still get PC-type creative freedom with building, and when you have to talk to the DM a lot about character motivations so you're on the same page it makes you go a little nuts.

all that being said I did enjoy being a player before my Issues really set in w Mia's princes of the apocalypse campaign, but Alanus is a human man and thus i did not go off the shits drawing him. he's very good at touching cursed objects. (And guest starring for Avex's brief appearances in kirbcamp is equally a delight. Avex would die for the party and they show him tomb goop.)
