Sheidy Business: Tales from another's eyes.

Alright, so the next chapter isn't done quite yet, and it might be awhile. But I still have something I want to share. Since I'm developing this story still, I figured I might as well post some short stories, written int he format similar to how they'd be in the Torah itself, that take place in the same universe. This is both shorter, and can serve as possible foreshadowing, or just cool wordbuilding bits. So, I'm going to be calling this "Sheidy Business: Tales from another's eyes." TFAE in the tags for short. This one isn't very long, and ties in to the next two stories I'll be posting, which are also quite short.

A quick note first. I'm Jewish, so I'm used to referring to some things in Hebrew or Yiddish, even if theres an english version. So Instead of Noah, I'm used to writing Noach, or instead of Messiah, I'd write Meshiach. which is the closet I can do since Tumblr can't write Ḥ properly. It basically sounds like a hard h-try doing the h sound, but do it more forcefully until you start making a sort of grinding-scraping noise. Or just look it up. Oh yeah, and the "Mabul" is the term for the big old biblical flood. Sorry for the wait, and I hope you enjoy. Story below the cut.

In the age of Noach, When the Name decided to bring the Mabul upon the world, there were some who were at sail when the flood came. To hunt down these stragglers, the Name created the Leviathans, one male and one female, two great sea serpents who could scour the entire world between them. As they swam, they churned the sea, causing tidal waves to sweep all but the tallest ships under the ocean. When the time came for the rain to stop, the Leviathans had no work to do, so they lay down next to one another to rest. The Name saw that the female Leviathan would have offspring soon, and said “When the water recedes, there will not be room for two Leviathans, let alone more.” And so he slew the female Leviathan and took her meat into the heavens, preserving it to be served when Meshiach comes. Now alone, the Leviathan wept. “My Lord and Master!” He cried. “You created me and my companion to purge the wicked from your world, and we did our job well. Now that we have finished our task, you condemn me to an eternity of solitude? Why did you create two of us, if there was only ever room for one?” And the Name said “Leviathan, do not weep. Though your mate’s body is dead, her soul shall be lifted up to me in Heaven, where she shall be my most beloved companion till the end of days. As compensation for your loneliness, I will make you the king of all that swims beneath the waters until Meshiach comes, at which point you will join your mate in heaven.” The Leviathan heard, and he said “My master is wise and just.” But in his mind he screamed, for a wound that would never close had been opened in his heart. Thus the seeds of rebellion were planted in the Leviathans mind.

Last night I dreamt that a Legends Celebi game was announced, and in the footage there was a Johtonian Lombre evolution that the player could climb on top of to cross rivers~

Characters as famous funny text messages ~

[darksilvania]

Kroelian RALTS, KIRLIA, GARDEVOIR, Mega GARDEVOIR, GALLADE & Mega GALLADE RALTS, KIRLIA, GARDEVOIR & Mega GARDEVOIR are Ghost/Psychic type GALLADE & Mega GALLADE are Ghost/Fighting type

RALTS is based on a Yurei, a traditional japanese ghost, they can be found wandering during the nights and when they found a person they like, they will start following them from afar, they can do this for hours, and even follow them home

KIRLIA is based on 2 Yokai, a mix of the Rokurokubi, the long necked female yokai and Taka-Onna, a yokai that could stretch her body to spy through windows, this pokemon likes to spy people it likes through their windows, stretching their necks to reach them if they are too high, some people say their necks cant stretch several stories high.

GARDEVOIR is based on the modern urban legend of Hachishakusama, the 8ft tall woman, it likes to follow people around, specially children which she protects and play with Mega GARDEVOIR is inspired in the RE8 character of Alcina Dimitrescu who is also partially inspired in the Hachishakusama legend, so it felt right, like gardevoir it also likes to follow and protect children, but it is more aggresive when it comes to protecting them, being able to stretch its fingers into long sharp claws

GALLADE is based on a mix of the Noppera-bō, a faceless yokai that likes to scare people, and the urban legend of slenderman, to mirror GARDEVOIR being based also in a modern urban legend Mega GALLADE is based on the Gashadokuro, a giant skeleton yokai, mostly to keep the theme of being really tall, it is even taller than Mega GARDEVOIR

Curse of the Nitghborne.

Guys, I haven't had time to play a lot, but I think the god of this land MAY BE the bad guy, but don't listen to me much.

Get up, folk! Flor did another Curse of Strahdanya crossover after Derek mentioned Lethica fused with Strahdanya as one throw joke in a stream!

The style is indeed inspired by the great art in Hades (the videogame), and the background is by Hades II.

The drawings without text:

Also, this was written at four in the morning, and I refuse to correct my insomniac ramblings this is the beta experience:

Lethica Nightborne as Strahdanya

----LORE------- In Barovia, a land of the dead, of suffering and grief, a new god has appeared out of nowhere covering the land in an eternal night... Of happiness? Lethica Nightborne, known as the Divine, has presented herself as the saviour that the land needed it, for what seems like decades. Her light, her kindness, her power, has changed the region and the hearts of the people to their core, as the land has been reborn... As there's new blood... But of course, you can't blame the nature of evil, so there's still death, suffering and pain in Barovia, but of course, our saviour, our dear wife, cleans it as she chooses. And if she asks for a sacrifice, of course, we will bring it to her, if she asks for the firstborn of every family, we will name the second after her, and if she asks that we take care of her dinner guests, we shall take care of them. -----DESIGN------- All I knew of Lethica was that I wanted her to wear a veil, and she couldn't only be a countess but a whole god, the saviour of Barovia. The churches don't talk about sun gods, only of her, their lady of dark, their god. Her dress comes from mixing Stradhanya's and hers, ending in a very 19th figure, with a bit of Mesopotamian fashion (the metal belts and sleeves with the double skirt) to show her as a figure of the past, as somehow older than she appears. Of course, she had to have some kind of knife so a knife fan, and a cup to show wealth and power (her cup is always full, full of what? Well, if you look at the very pale man under with not a lot of blood left-)

Marius Renathyr as Victoria Issacs

-----LORE------- Marius as a man of Ilmater seems to be QUITE interested in Barovia, a land of suffering and grief, to the extreme that seems too personal to just be a missionary mission to conquer pain. The university doesn't trust him completely, but somehow, even as a new member of the university and resident of Druskenwald, Marius had found a way to get the vote of everyone involved and the funds for the crusade. But what would be the real reasons for such travel? Or... WHO is the real reason? ------DESIGN ------ Inspired by the old missionary ropes of the 1800s and the typical vampire hunter, Marius stands as a very weird-looking holy man. From Victoria's design, we get the rosary turned into this over-complicated necklace and the ropes around his hips that reference the bloody ropes of Ilmater. (Victoria's, and now Marius, god.) And his sword has turned into a cane. (a cane with a blade.)

Yorgrim as Silas "Shepherd" Morgan

-----LORE-------- From the depths of Yona, a mercenary is invited to participate in an expedition to a land of death and suffering. He accepts stating that he has other business in Barovia and he could be glad to accompany the group under the condition he would work in peace when need it. Of course, he refuses to say the kind of work, you know, "professional privacy policy" and all. But by his reputation... It can't be good... -----DESIGN------- I was going to go with a funeral worker, but the scarf with teeth appeared and it changed the vision. The design takes more inspiration from Shepherd than Yorgrim, with the hunter theme, with the shotgun filled with blue magic and a list of hunts on red clay (that would be broken when the hit is eliminated.)

Briggsy "The Kutlass" Kratch as Professor Clayton Azran

LORE------- Briggsy may take the role of the professor, but he's not the expedition's leader. He's contracted by the University of Druskenwald to keep an eye on Marius (since the university is suspicious of the holy man). He accepts, without even wondering or caring what Barovia is, only happy to finally obtain a title under his piracy by the lords of Druskenwald. (He's getting paid to be a pirate, oh the dream!) DESIGN------ With his design, he was the last one and I was VERY tired, so... It's something weird? You know, a pirate trying to look like a "noble man". (but he's very much failing, he looks like a maniac I think)

Jericho Sticks/Virgil as Sarnax of the Edelwood

----LORE----- The cult of Gherix initially refused the university and the idea of letting them explore the runes in their forest. Until they accept but a month away from the expedition which is extremely suspicious. When the group found themselves in the forest, there he is, Jericho, a sacrificial figure of sticks and straw offered by the cult as a guide. (Of course, the poor, only brought to life months ago, strawman is a sacrifice in the name of Gherix that, by burning in Barovia, will give the god control over the whole region. / Indeed, Virgil is now Gherix we get an asshole god, give it up!) -----DESIGN----- Inspired by Wicker Man (giant figures of sticks and straw with animal sacrifices that are burned during Celtic rituals such as the Beltane.) Jericho is turned into a sacrificial figure who will burn when it's necessary by the light that keeps him alive.

Farryn of the Hartsblight as Kana Soyokaze.

-------LORE------- It isn't clear when or how, but Farryn ends up getting involved with the expedition. As a storm in sea, one day, the swordswoman appears out of the blue stating that she's also trying to find her way into Barovia. The deer refuses to explain her business with the "Divine" of all people, only holding her katana with anger and sadness, but she's clearly not looking to make friends. (She ends up being friends with the whole party.) -------DESIGN----- Based on the Sika deer (a Japanese deer), the design lingers more around the fusion character while keeping Farryn's figure, with the open skirt covered by her leg armour that goes up to her hips and the war paint, fur, and bone that stays in view.

Day 14 - Castle from the inktober 2023 calendar!

I dedicate this day to fake Totk Zelda! I can say I exposed this fake Zelda immediately, in short hearing her speak during the red moon immediately made me understand that she wasn't the real Zelda at all.

But I think it's an interesting counterpart and I like having it integrated into the castle on this day!

So for those unaware, another Pokemon Legends game has been announced. This time it is set in the Kalos (Gen 6) region.

I want to make some speculative designs for fun, so feel free to leave some suggestions for french fakemon in my ask box or the replies! Reblogs are also greatly appreciated as they help more people see the post.

[justahusk]

Meet Dunchunk and Dunkrunch, two rock/dark type fakemon! These aren't my fakemon, these are simply pixel art renditions of them. The true creator of these glorious beasts is just_a_folk95 on instagram! You could say this is... just a collab?
