OKAY IM GONNA BIG RAMBLE, SO HEADS UP!!!

some small ( maybe big tbh ) changes i've made in regards to depths of depravity vs the og, because i want it to still have its ties with its predecessor but still have it's own uniqueness to stand on, is mostly within it's world-building and setting! cause the base inspirations i'm using for depths of depravity setting is:

which, to explain, is the common theme of "something abnormal is here, but the common mass is unaware over HOW DEEP this abnormality is". the idea of people living in this small, remote town, surrounded by nature for YEARS so as a result, to stay away from anything dangerous they have created folktales & stories to warn against the dangers nature has. but as result of perpetuating these stories through generations, the townspeople have grown DEEPLY unaware of much danger is hidden beneath them and therefore now shun & scoff at any accounts regarding the dangers, treating it as "people taking stories too seriously".

which is why dod looks like, SO CUTE and PINK when taking your first glance. because you KNOW something bad is happening, you're just waiting for that other shoe to drop. and it's also why i changed a bit of the supernatural stuff happening in the town, so rather it being tentacles and a ghost haunting after the pc specifically, it's transformed into well. supernatural things lying in wait for you as the player to discover, rather than specifically HUNTING you down.

cause then, when you have one pc going on mad ramblings regarding the things they are discovering, there is another pc who has no idea what they are spewing about, thinking they are genuinely insane. this dissonance within personal experiences, and how divides are made based on who and who doesn't know. some pcs can genuinely live their life and graduate not knowing a single thing happening within the town, and there are some who well. would.

this is gonna be made ESPECIALLY APPARENT with some of the NPCs in dod, with a division of who knows what. cause some LIs & NPCs only know the base of fucked up levels, which is the trafficking and sexual exploitations that happens in the town. while the other half knows the supernatural and occult that the town is birthed from.

leading to ofc, changes made within the church & cult. in which rather than the two exists on the extreme spectrum of no sex to sucking and fucking 24/7, it's on the spectrum of what's considered "vanilla" VS 'someone needs to go to the hospital after this'. and im putting air quotes around vanilla, because in comparison to the cult, it is!! but to the average joe, it's like '...okayyy'. cause i want the church & cult to give the same vibes of healing church vs school of menesis, like both groups that worship similar figures but divided in regards to how they both choose to show worship and ascension. like dod's equivalent of a schism event within the religions. which, due to their inspirations, ifykyk, im subtly saying there is gonna be human experimentation.

me turning to everyone here. there is gonna be human experimentation within dod. the monsters i keep talking about in my tags, that i wanna put in the deep woods and deep fields, they are experimentations that veered off too far from desired product. and you may ask: basil, why is there experimentation in dod? and to that i say: how else am i gonna explain the TFs in the setting 🤨 

now i rambled on long enough i think. i'll reblog this when i have more to ramble on. there's still more stuff to be explained within this topic, regarding the auriga/iw equivalent, luren and the virgo equivalent, caeius, and how their 'hauntings' is not so much hauntings, but rather the actions of simple desires & intentions being read as something inhumane solely because of their now transformed shapes, but that's for another time.

so instead of typing out a huge lore post i decided to illustrate it in meme format

y'know how impressionable young children are and how they try to emulate their parents? well,

"reisz" never had parents.

waking up with a clean slate of a brain meant they had to go through the veeeery first steps of the process of trying to formulate the conception of a self– the kinda stuff that people go through in their earliest years, which is essentially. monkey see monkey do. in that sense they were A Sponge

the Armoured Veteran was the first actual living being they looked up to and that set the tone of the ball rolling. now everytime they meet an apex predator the reiszbrain goes "hmmmmmmm how can i Learn and Improve from this.?"

they're choosing some. um. superb role models as we all can see.

and while not quite the same, this happened too:

reisz quirks got Arguably Worse after the marriage bc i began grinding society favours, but in-universe its like. come on. look at this scorpion in slipper behaviour.

this is Exactly what eddie did to the FLPC and this accidental emulation is so funny to me. their magnanimous went from 10 to 1 and it still hasnt recovered. gg ghostie.

Day 14: Inspiration

Talking about my inspiration makes my brain feel bad, but I got the balls for this one. Tokyo Ghoul ended up accidentally being a big source of inspiration for Primrose Path's story and a handful of the characters in it, so consider this an AU doodle!

[juustozzi]

as I just got the last ask posted I think it's a good time to mention this; as I said in tags before I closed my asks a bit ago, as my interests do the usual and have started shifting around again. I'll probably dip back into inazuma hype when VR gets closer to release, until then art will be about whatever series or OCs and come in sporadically!

After getting overthrown and betrayed since none of his so-called trusted friends did not come to his rescue, a hurt and revengeful king Genda desperately prayed and begged for Aphrodi, the god of love. It was one last desperate attempt of getting help from somebody, anybody in his delirious-broken state.

Heart aching at the state he found the king in and at what he heard, the blond decided to answer and gifted some water of the gods to Koujirou, who drank it like a thirsty beast after days of not seeing any water. Aphrodi had no time to tell him of side effects as the burning sensation started spreading from his throat into all his body, causing him to faint from the pain in his savior's loving hold.

After recovering, he stormed back into his old kingdom, as a one man army, to reclaim all that was unjustly taken from him. The hands and fists - said to rule with care and kindness - now broke swords, spiers and bones with their renewed hold, to teach the lesson that what wasn't learned with love would be taught with pain.

Once he sat back on the throne, clothes and cloak stained with the blood of those he once trusted, his god came to check in on him. Aphrodi got in by a window, his shiny pairs of wings helping with the soft landing on the ground near his king, Genda's eyes were on him since the minute his holy presence was felt.

Given that the old one was broken in battle, the blond offered Genda a new crown: it was adorned with golden leaves and shiny, polished jewels that glinted in the soft light emitted by the deity handling it. Crawling into the thone's occupant lap, Aphrodi softly kissed the artifact before safely placing it in Koujirou's head as a sign of his pride and joy for the success his beloved archived.

The bitter feelings in his chest and mind getting overpowered by warmth had him looking up, meeting by his lord's red eyes and soft smile directed solely at him. That made the king smile for the first time since stepping in that wretched palace, the feeling of blessings rained down on him as holy hands tenderly caressed his face and a prideful voice whispered to him "Long live the king."

Just finished the new chapter and GOD my heart aches for Isabella’s mistreatment, don’t know how Rick actually has the heart to do and say the things he did. But it got me wondering what your inspiration was to make a mean giant, cause normally in most stories the giant is nice and sweet and comforting to the tiny?

OH HEHEHE, oh I actually dabble in mean giants a lot! The gentle, the mean, the in between, I love exploring them all....

But for Rick specifically I can yap all day but I'll try keeping it short!!! KJSHSJKHS. Rick is obvi the mean giant rn, but more than that I wanted him more apathetic at heart. He's mean because he doesn't WANT to be someones "giant" yknow? He finds no joy in anything w tinies, being nice OR mean to them, he just wants NOTHING to do with them really!!! So, I wanted to explore that, and rn it's very much going into mean and even cruel territory like w the guard, bc he's vry... defensive rn, I'll say that hehe
