🩸 Happy Halloween 2023, everyone! 🩸

This year, I'm appeasing the Halloween Spirit, unhallowed be thy name, by using dark, lesser-known folklore as inspiration. Please enjoy my attempts at giving my children new appreciation through some of vile loving.

This is Althea's entry. Daemon's is here.

Baobhan sith - A female fairy in the folklore of the Scottish Highlands, though they also share certain characteristics with the succubus/vampire. The baobhan sith usually appears as a beautiful young woman wearing a long green dress that conceals the deer hooves she has instead of feet. She may also take the form of a wolf, or a hooded crow or raven. Their prey of choice are wandering men, particularly hunters, drawn by the smell of blood or a man’s wish for female company in the night. Typically appearing in groups (tales usually reference four), they dance and seduce their victims before killing and drinking their blood by slicing open the victims’ throats and/or chests with their long, sharp nails.

“With vile love, she coveted his warmth until the last drop touched her lips.”

Queens and Queens consort of the Seven Kingdoms

Alyssa Velaryon The Dragon and his sisters had been accepted without comment, and the issue had not arisen when Prince Aenys was wed in 22 AC to Alyssa Velaryon, the daughter of the king’s master of ships and lord admiral; though she was a Targaryen upon her mother’s side, this made her only a cousin.

Ceryse Hightower Ceryse was the daughter of Martyn Hightower, the Lord of Oldtown. She was advanced by her uncle, the High Septon, after he protested the betrothal of the thirteen-year-old Prince Maegor to Maegor’s newborn niece, Princess Rhaena. Ceryse and Maegor were married in 25 AC. The prince claimed to have consummated their marriage a dozen times on their wedding night, but no sons ever came of it. He soon grew tired of Ceryse’s failure to bear him an heir and began taking other brides. Ceryse died in 45 AC, taken by a sudden illness, though it is also rumored that she was killed at the king’s command.

Alys Harroway Alys was the daughter of Lucas Harroway, the new Lord of Harrenhal. A secret marriage took place in 39 AC, while Maegor was Hand, leading to Maegor’s exile to Pentos. Alys became queen after Maegor brought her back from Pentos. She was the first woman to become pregnant by the king in the year 48 AC, but she lost the babe soon after. What was expelled from her womb was a monstrosity, eyeless and twisted, and in his fury Maegor blamed and executed her midwives, septas, and the Grand Maester Desmond. Tyanna of the Tower convinced the king that the child was the product of Alys’s secret affairs, however, leading to the death of Queen Alys, her companions, her father and his Hand, the Lord Lucas, and every Harroway or Harroway kinsman King Maegor could discover between King’s Landing and Harrenhal.

Tyanna of Pentos Tyanna was the most feared of the brides of King Maegor. Rumored to have been the natural daughter of a Pentoshi magister, she had been a tavern dancer who rose up to become a courtesan. She was said to practice sorcery and alchemy. She was wed to the king in 42 AC, but their marriage bed was as barren as the rest. Called the king’s raven by some, she was feared for her ability to ferret out secrets and served as his mistress of whisperers. She eventually confessed her responsibility for the abominations that were born of Maegor’s seed, claiming she had poisoned his other brides. She was killed by Maegor’s own hand in 48 AC, her heart cut out with Blackfyre and thrown to his dogs.

Elinor Costayne Lady Elinor Costayne was the youngest of the three Black Brides, who had been married to Ser Theo Bolling, and had birthed him three children. Ser Theo had been arrested by the Kingsguard, accused of conspiring with Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon, and executed -- all on the same day. Elinor, now nineteen years of age, was summoned to marry Maegor two weeks later. Elinor became pregnant with Maegor’s child, and she birthed an eyeless child with small wings. Elinor would survive Maegor’s reign.

Rhaena Targaryen When Prince Aegon died in 43 AC, Rhaena became a widow. Rhaena took refuge on Fair Isle, under the protection of Lord Farman, who hid her and her daughters. It was Tyanna, one of Maegor’s queens, who found them. In 47 AC, Rhaena was forced to wed Maegor. When Rhaena learned that her youngest brother, Prince Jaehaerys, was claiming the throne for himself, she fled King’s Landing on her dragon Dreamfyre, stealing Blackfyre away as her king and husband slept, to join Jaehaerys’s cause.

Jeyne Westerling Tall and willowy, Lady Jeyne was a renowned beauty and had been wed to Lord Alyn Tarbeck, who died with the rebels at the Battle Beneath the Gods Eye.Jeyne was being courted by the son of the Lord of Casterly Rock when King Maegor I sent for her to be wed to him along with Lady Elinor Costayne and Princess Rhaena Targaryen in a single ceremony. In 47 AC she was with child, but three moons before the child was due her labor began, and from her womb came another stillborn monster. She did not survive the child for long.

Alysanne Targaryen For forty-six years, the Old King and Good Queen Alysanne were wed, and for the most part it was a happy marriage, with children and grandchildren aplenty. Two estrangements are recorded, but they did not last more than a year or two before the pair resumed their customary friendship. The Second Quarrel, however, is of note, as it was due to Jaehaerys’s decision in 92 AC to pass over his granddaughter Rhaenys— the daughter of his deceased eldest son and heir, Prince Aemon— in favor of bestowing Dragonstone and the place of heir apparent on his next eldest son, Baelon the Brave. Alysanne saw no reason why a man should be favored over a woman … and if Jaehaerys thought women of less use, then he would have no need of her. They reconciled in time, but the Old King outlived his beloved queen, and in his last years it was said that the grief of their parting hung over his court like a pall.

Aemma Arryn Some said that Daemon’s support for his brother in the Great Council was motivated by the belief he would be his brother’s heir. But in Viserys’s mind, he already had an heir: Rhaenyra, his sole daughter by his cousin, Queen Aemma of House Arryn.

Alicent Hightower Matters became more complicated when, with Ser Otto Hightower’s encouragement, King Viserys announced his intention to wed the Lady Alicent, Ser Otto’s daughter and the Old King’s former nursemaid. For the most part, the realm celebrated this union. Rhaenyra, secure in her place as heir, welcomed her father’s new bride, for they had long known one another at court.

🩸 Happy Halloween 2023, everyone! 🩸

This year, I'm appeasing the Halloween Spirit, unhallowed be thy name, by using dark, lesser-known folklore as inspiration. Please enjoy my attempts at giving my children new appreciation through some of vile loving.

This is Daemon's entry. Althea's is here.

Chindi (Navajo: chʼį́įdii) - The ghost of a deceased person in Navajo myth that is supposed to leave the body with the person’s last breath. The Navajo believe that one’s final breath contains all of the sins of that person’s life. A mini-whirlwind of dust/dirt is said to represent a chindi. The Navajo call these ‘dust devils’ and believe that a clockwise dust devil is a good spirit and the counter clockwise is an evil entity.

"He was hanged for his crimes, but his sins have found new life in a vile love."

GOOD EVENING AND A MOST GLORIOUS HALLOWEEN!

My, what sharp teeth we all have here!

This year, my nutcracker babes are turning up as some of the most classic myths and legends that frequently frequent the Halloween season, but with a twist!

Since I've been indulging in a lot of grade-A webcomics over the past year or so, I've decided to have my boys and girl featured after a few of my favorite Webtoons!

Daemon is a pureblood vampire from 'Unholy Blood' / 'White Blood'. For him and his brother, I tried to mix the style of this webcomic with my own (whatever that style may be). And don't worry, no one was harmed in the making of this scene! It's all just harvested ox blood from Dae's interrupted dinner! (most likely)

Draven is a werewolf (or maybe a wizard possessed by an evil spirit? who knows?) from 'Lumine', an 'innocent' yet violent comic that I adore! Full of magic, the power of friendship, and bloody fangs. Ah, yes.

Althea is a mermaid from 'Fins', a lovely, little romance with some unique-looking merfolk and traces of blood in the water, but it's not the sharks (or eels) you have to worry about . . .

Please enjoy this Spooktober and take a look at these three, fantastic comics on your way out! I highly recommend!

Lumine by Emma Krogell

Unholy Blood by Lina Im, Jeonghyeon Kim

Nutcracker Season 2022 - Dec. 22th - AU

"What's wrong with him? He sick?"

"Let the runt be, son. He's jus' tired. Dae's got 'em."

Happy Nutcracker Month/Season!

Today's prompt is Nutcrackers in any AU. Now, Daemon has been in a lot of AUs, let me tell ya, but I wanted to do one that I've never drawn anything for. So, I went over past convos and ideas, and rediscovered a long-dead AU from years ago, one where monsters are raised/enslaved for spectacle fighting. My main man wasn't in that one long at all (he died very early on, because ANGST, of course he does), but any AU where Dae gets to be some sort of parent is a favorite in my book, especially towards someone like @shinyzango's Hans (in kid/baby form no less).

Enjoy!

As always, the prompt list for this year's Nutcracker Season has been provided here by the amazing, @artsynoova!

Nutcracker Season 2022 - Nov. 14th - Role Reversal

Rolling back the clock for this one! I wasn't able to get any of the November prompts for this year done on time, so I'm doing them now. And I had to go with the Role Reversal one, just too fun to draw!

Althea takes over Daemon's role as a knightly nutcracker of the Doll Kingdom, but unlike her counterpart, while she does have a standard sword, she is far more skilled at knife-play, being bonded to a pair of dual daggers. This is sort of in reference to the canon vision of herself who learned a few knife tricks in order to protect herself during her travels in search of Daemon and the nutcrackers.

Daemon, of course, takes the role of humble artist who also apprentices under his father to become a medical healer as well. He's never left his home village, but finds himself longing to, to see the kingdom in its fullest and maybe even beyond. Then everything changes when a new doll arrived in his teenaged years, looking nothing like he'd ever seen before.

EEEEEnnnjoy!

As always, the prompt list for this year's Nutcracker Season has been provided here, once again by the amazing, @artsynoova!

Nutcracker Season 2022 - Dec. 8th - S U P P L I E S

Today is all about gathering and enjoying that sweet, sweet S U P P L I E S. So, I made Daemon human real quick so he can enjoy the fruits of his labors. PPFFFTT

Enjoy! :D

Hey, I just wanted to ask, do you have any voice claims for your nutcracker characters? I just wanted to know because I love them so much :3

I do, actually! I considered it a lot years ago and made a list of possible voice actors for every character I had planned at the time (with example performances where I thought I best heard my characters in pitch and intonation because we all know great voice actors can have a great range of voices). I won't list all my characters since I've never mentioned most of them outside of a Discord server, but I can mention the big four here.

Note: This is subject to change at any time, but this is what I have from the last time I binged voices. Enjoy. :)

Daemon Thuringia- Troy Baker (Tailon - Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Joel - The Last of Us, Greed - FMA:B, Booker Dewitt - Bioshock Infinite) & John Hopkins (Marius - Ryse: Son of Rome) (I could never decide which one I liked more, so if I could combine Troy and John's voice performances into one, that would probably be it)

Althea Voronina - Laura Bailey (Ioreth - Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Serena - Skyrim, Lucina - Fire Emblem: Awakening) (As you may have noticed, Althea has a voice performance alongside Daemon's in Middle Earth, so if you want to closest thing to an audible conversation between them, watch the opening of that game.)

Althea Voronina (elder) - Pam Hyatt (Frieda - Silverwing, Kaede - Inuyasha) (For Althea in her 80s. Wanted a wizened voice, but a strong one. Probably one of the most likely to change however.)

Draven Thuringia - Travis Willingham (Roy Mustang - FMA:B, Isaac Frost - Fight Night Champion, Spartan Paul DeMarco - Halo 4, Zavok - Sonic: Lost World, Reggie Rowe - Infamous: Second Son) (Yes, I find this very ironic and a bit weird since Laura Bailey is married to Travis, but is what it is. He's got the tone and depth I want here.)

Guinevere Cawthrone - AAAAAANNnnnddd I once had a possible voice for her, but I fell out with it after a while. Sometime after that, I decided that there would be a reason for that..... ;)

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY, @freckleocalypse!

Over a month late on this one, but it still counts!

Freckle and I have been roleplaying our nutcracker bois together for years now, but never once have I drawn the two of them together as their canon selves, as actual nutcrackers! Maybe I drew one or the other normally before, but never in the same space. I've always gone with animals when displaying the father-son-like relationship that the two of us built around these two.

But no more! Enjoy them as they truly are! No animalization spells or AU versions this time!

And Freckle, thanks for creating one of the most endearing duos I've ever had the pleasure of helping create or fangirl over, and completely out of nowhere in the beginning! I'll always love and be grateful for knowing and interacting with your sweet, Russian nutboi. Daemon definitely is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And special guests featured in their chat here are Freckle's other characters, Sebastian, Emily, and Dimitri, and Vampire's David!

MerMay 2022 - The Young Ones

I wanted to contribute one more piece to MerMay this year before the month is over. I may do some sketches and a few more pieces, but it's a big MAYBE right now.

Anyway, I wanted to do something cute for this, so I kidnapped @freckleocalypse's Abel (for the hundredth time) and thought about making a 'meeting of the babes', meaning adopted son meets 2-week-old baby from the Humpback pod Daemon's been traveling with. :)

And yes, I see most whale merfolk as being the giants among merfolk. I thought this would be a good example to show size differences.

Enjoy!

[darknesslioness]

Happy MerMay 2022!

For the first time, I felt confident enough in drawing human(like) figures to try drawing a mermaid/merman for this wonderful month.

And of course, I had to do it to my main man, Daemon. I seem to turn this nutcracker into all sorts of things, don't I? Adding Humpback Whale Mer to the list.

Enjoy!

Song Prompt #1: Start of Something Good - Daughtry

Merry Christmas, everyone!

For this year's Nutcracker Month/Season, I didn't really have anything good for the drawing events made for this year, so I decided late into the season that I would practice drawing my characters by doing some song prompts as my own special tribute to this magical month (my playlists really hit me out of nowhere with a dozen different ideas).

I'm only just now satisfied with the first pair.... on Christmas EVE. Nicely done, me.

Anyway, here's some wholesome feelings for your holiday season! I hope to have some more "songs" to show later on, but for now, I hope everyone has a wholesome Christmas!

Next entry ->

Daemon Thuringia and Althea Voronina @ me.
