Blood of God

Notes: Sagau cult au, cut-based injuries, blood sacrifice. bunch of fun stuff. Reader is the Creator, golden blood, etc. read at your own discretion

WC. 976

----- ⚘ -----

When you first descended into Teyvat, You were initially met with praise and celebration. Countless festivals were held in Your name. Your beloved characters, Your acolytes, were the first ones in line to beg for Your blessings.

That's when everything started to go downhill.

With the realization that Your physical presence in the world meant no more divine guidance, Your acolytes grew desperate for Your blessings. Blessings that You, as a mortal human being, could not grant. Not to the same degree that You used to, when You played the game and bestowed buffs and upgrades aplenty to all Your teams, and generously ascended even those You didn’t have plans for.

But now, even as You stand before them in flesh and blood, Your godlike abilities have been reduced to mere party tricks. You spoke to the animals, and twisted the breeze. You made flames dance with a single gesture, and grew pretty flowers in your footsteps. None of this helped the acolytes, though.

Interest in Your well-being, in You, dwindled. Your acolytes wished You well, the rare few even questioning Your divinity, and sent You on your merry way.

Abandoned and unarmed in a world full of hostile creatures, You took up jobs with the Adventurers Guild. First, it was fetching and delivering goods for the city citizens. Then, it was carrying messages across the countryside from town to town. Lastly, it was picking off monster camps that strayed too close to civilization.

This is where a few of your acolytes found You, injured and bleeding brass-coloured ichor into the dirt and swinging wildly with Your adventurer’s sword.

Deity or not, Your acolytes were not ones to stand idle while another was put in harm’s way. Into the fray they jumped, and fought by Your side despite their reservations about You.

In the heat of the battle, the acolytes noticed something strange. Those sprayed with Your blood were given increased strength and capability for a short while, until the stain dried and wore off.

Encouraged, they investigated further. Using some of Your blood as war paints extended the duration of the blessing by nearly double, coating their weapons with it would increase the effectiveness of their strikes, and a brave few discovered that ingesting it would boost them all-around for the entirety of the day.

Harken, and rejoice! For irrefutable proof of the Creator’s benevolent presence has been revealed! And You, desperate for their love and acceptance, gave it to them without question.

A beautiful, elaborate temple was built in Your honour, with ceremonial blades scattered throughout the decor and deep channels filled with ever-flowing ambrosia running across the floor. As Your holy blood continued to be spilled, the hue of it began to run a shimmering gold.

Those who sought Your blessings need only visit you in Your temple, bringing offerings of kill trophies and unearthed relics. Then, they would partake of Your divinity by their choice of method, dipping their reverent hands in the rivers of ichor that pulse across the temple grounds.

You haven’t stopped bleeding in months.

It was bearable at first, when the first time the channels were filled You were pleased to discover that they would not run dry for some time. When the acolytes came for lessings, you would only need to refill the trenches every few days.

You asked if they could bring You softer offerings, of sweet foods and thoughtful bouquets. Such shows of softness were dismissed with a laugh. What need did you have for plants, when the strength you gave them could afford you even the rarest and most difficult trophies to obtain?

But the Abyss came. Celestia’s wrathful gaze descended. Your acolytes were fighting a war on two fronts.

They came on their hands and knees, emptying your stores quicker than you could refill them. Eventually, you took to sitting in the golden throne with your preferred blade, sluggishly carving yourself open to ensure the continued survival of your beloved acolytes.

It wasn’t enough.

Please, they begged. Give us the strength You once were able to grant. Show us the stars in your eyes and in your blood once more, that we might fight and win in Your name.

Filled with fear, and hurt, and love, you gave them everything you had left.

Their lips and teeth stained with brilliant auric gore, they took to the fields once again. The Abyss fell before them, the cursed beasts of the land fell into disarray and fled into the winds. Celestia conceded victory.

The acolytes cheered and danced in the aftermath of their slaughter. Eager to show their renewed devotion, they returned home to You.

But Your temple had crumbled, and the deep wells that once held Your pulse have turned to dust. Your blessing was but glittering sand in their mouths as they sort through the rubble to find any traces of You.

There was no way to know who broke first. Your acolytes realized too late the price for Your continued generosity, and squandered Your love on chasing strength and war.

Your temple was rebuilt with petals replacing every blade. The grooves filled with the soil that was steeped with the blood of the fallen, and flowers of all shades of vibrant, terribly human red grew there.

Dendrobium and Mourning flowers. Even the azure Sea ganoderma bloomed in rare patches where water pooled deeper.

Had they loved You as a human and not as a seemingly bottomless resource, would You have stayed? The thought of such a question shamed them. You asked for their love and they’d given You their blades. You asked for sweets and they’d brought you the bones of their enemies.

And yet, You wanted to stay. Even as they literally bled You dry, You had only ever wanted their happiness, no matter the cost.

And heavy was the cost.

Doodle Dump, 4/2024 - Now (part 2)

I hit the image limit on the last part, so here's the rest of my doodling lol.

[Another long post below]

Qi needs to be bridal/princess carried. idk what else to say aldkfjlakdr

I seriously doubt that the builder's able to get off completely psychologically unscathed from all the spoiler events, especially if they're anything like Wis and just wanted to live their silly simple lil builder life :( This idea and others like it are being shelved for the moment bc her longfic is already a ton to think about and that only takes us to the end of the spoiler arc...

Tears prickled at Qi’s own eyes as his heart swelled. The lump in his throat stoppered any words he could have said. He held her tighter, feeling an ache with every one of her sobs. “I’m just…e-exhausted,” Wisteria whispered as her tears subsided enough for her to speak. She sniffed, taking another shaky breath in. “I-I…I never asked for any of this. This…this ‘hero’ bullshit. I just w-w… I never— I-I-I…” She gasped a few shallow breaths. “I’m just a builder…”

Mel (@/illusidy) introduced me to this great pencil brush on CSP (SU cream pencil) and I've been using it ever since :>

Another outfit for Wis <3

Since Wis is a clone, she and the others would make for a sick blind box/gacha series asldkrlakj

Also, underneath all the heavyhanded emotions and symbolism I'm writing for her, Wis always exists like this in my brain.

What a nerd. <3

We were thinking up genderbends over on OTAS, and the only name I could come up with for M!Wis was "Winston" 💀 It sounded like a butler name, so his story is that he was hired by Yan to make him look all cool and rich lol. What he really wants is to open his own hotel, but that's expensive, so he has to do other bit work he can with a hospitality degree. Probably bonds with Qi in that both of them have big dreams and an interest in relics, until oops, they're crushing on each other. Qi'll probably offer Winston an assistant position so he can earn more than the pennies that Yan gives him...totally not bc he likes him and hates watching him toil for nothing...

Some silly doodles with Duvos!Wis, ft. @/spookemsdukems 's "Builder", @/florisam 's Lev, and @peenuttg 's Saran :> (don't worry, she's got a newer prosthetic elsewhere...she's just keeping "Builder" occupied)

I just needed to see them in lab coats :>

And that's it for now! Hopefully I'll be better about posting stuff here in the future lol. Thanks for reading if you've made it all the way down both posts. <3

Ok so, hello, new Ordem Paranormal fan here, I'm not Brazillian so I apologize if any of my questions are stupid, and if you do not want to/don't have the answer to any of my questions, I will not be offended. I've just finished O Segredo Na Floresta (That ending man...fuck) and while I know some spoilers from later campaigns, I generally don't know the context around them. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I have way too many questions, so feel free to pick and choose. 1. I've noticed that the artist between the second and third campaign changes, or at least I think that's the case because the styles are incredibly different. I'm assuming that it's because Cellbit wanted more realism, but I was curious if that was it or not because I can't really find anything on my own (the wiki, sadly, doesn't seem to have pages for the artists :() (I'm just curious about this, I like both art styles) 2. Have you ever had a llonguet or coxhina? Not entirely related to Ordem Paranormal but they mentioned those foods a few times so I was curious as to how good they were, they both look good tbh 3. It only gets worse from here doesn't it. (This next question is more so Desconjuracao and Calamidade than either of the ones I've watched) 4. I know about the relics, do they all work differently? I mean, yeah they do but like, the human in that body dies when they take over, right? But like, can they make the body immortal or does the body still age? I assume not with the God of Death because...yeah just saw that, but it could still decompose I guess. Idk, the relics fascinate me and I'm really excited for Desconjuracao to get translated 5. How many times does the system change? Because the first campaign was a d6 system, the second is a d100 system, but the wiki says Ordem Paranormal is a d20 system. Does it get more finalized by Desconjuracao? Or will it take til Calamidade for me to see the current system? I'm really hoping the rulebook gets translated someday, I'd love to play or gm, and I'm curious as to what campaign would be a good reference for what it might be like. 6. Do you have a favorite character? I don't have many people to talk Ordem Paranormal in depth with so I'm curious as to what other fans opinions are. Also, are there any characters that generally people really dislike? 7. Not sure if you read fanfics or comics, but do you have any you'd recommend? Even if it's for later campaigns I could put it on the backburner, I'd love to see more fanworks than what I've found on my own Ok so, that's a lot so I'll stop asking stuff for now, thank you so much for letting me ramble hahaha

1- well you are a minority because people really hate the old artist (Rafael da Hq) well it was changed because the new artist (Orenjiro) did beutiful fanart and cellbit decided that he would do the art for ordem ever since! (Minus o segredo na ilha, that was bonees), but the main reason why the fandom does not talk is because he did tracing and was exposed for pedophilia, also i did not know that there wasn’t any wiki pages for the artists like what? They maybe will do some soon!

2- because of your grammar i unfortunaly dont know what you ment by what you ment by llounguet but i already had many coxinhas in my life lol, they are a pretty popular "salgado" (salty food) and i really like it, the ones filled with chicken are the best (i mean its pretty rare a coxinha be anything BUT filled with chicken but WHAT EVER), i hope you get to taste coxinha, is pretty good

3- Oh honey, you didn’t even get to see the worst deaths in ordem paranormal history lol

4- i mean you won’t get much about the calamity relics since they are more important in calidade but basicly the human body that the relic is inhabiting dosen't age and is pretty much imortal (unless other relic kills it) bur when the human body of the relic dies, they just poof like the human body dosen't exist anymore and they go to another human to continue doing their elements Jobs

5- Oh honey the only season that they play 100% from the ordem paranormal rpg rulebook is sinais do outro lado, this system had a fuck ton of changes and rewrites especially because the comunity was very involved in it

6- Oh i have a bunch of them but my main favs are liz and my baby joui 💜, so the fandom is fascinating because the character can be very loved with a very toxic fanbase but also very hated with a bunch of toxic haters (joui's case lol) but most of the time the really hated character's are from the villans side, mainly npc's but this hatred is generely only really prevelent for character's with players when the season is airing yk? But for me is kinda hard to tell witch character is the most hated for all fandom because it really depends on your fandom circle because is pretty commun to get a bunch of comments of "OMG WHY DO YOU HATE THIS CHARACTER" for pretty much evey character in ordem

7- about fanfics... i unfortunaly don’t have much recomendations because i do not read much ordem fanfics (especially because the fandom is kinda dead right now and all ordem ficwritters became spiderbit/guapoduo ficwritters) well the fanprojects are kinda dead right now unfortunately, but there is official comics of ordem paranormal that adapt the first season and the first part of season 2 translated to english that you can buy it officially in e-book form! I also have a project for myself in adapt ordem seasons in manga form (and rewrite some stuff that dosen't make sanse) and make a silly self indulgent fanfic adding two oc's of mine as character's living the happy horror's that is the ordem paranormal universe, but i little idvice if you want to see ordem content

Go to Twitter, there is more people there the here unfortunaly

I hope my answers helped and any questions just hit my ask box!

Welp. As the world’s in quarantine, might as well rec a few songs that remind me of strordo, because music heals <3

  First, Gravity by Sara Bareilles. Putting it under the strordo lens, the lyrics to me are all Mordo’s POV post-DS with Mordo examining his relationship with Stephen, how Stephen changed him and saw through him just like he saw through and changed Stephen, and deciding his love for Stephen makes him weak :(

  [Verse 1]

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long

No matter what I say or do

I’ll still feel you here until the moment I’m gone

You hold me without touch

You keep me without chains

I never wanted anything so much

Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

  [Chorus]

Set me free

Leave me be

I don’t wanna fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be

But you’re on to me and all over me

  [Verse 2]

Oh, you loved me ‘cause I’m fragile

When I thought that I was strong

But you touch me for a little while

And all my fragile strength is gone

  [Verse 3]

I live here on my knees

As I try to make you see

That you’re everything I think I need here on the ground

But you’re neither friend nor foe

Though I can’t seem to let you go

The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down

  You Belong to Me by Sue Thompson is for Mordo doing his soul-searching/Eat-Pray-Love thing around the globe (doing whatever to sorcerers but Stephen doesn’t know that ssshhhh), from Stephen’s POV.

  See the marketplace in old Algiers

Send me photographs and souvenirs

Just remember when a dream appears

You belong to me

  As Much As I Ever Could by City and Colour gives me those Mordo subconsciously wanting Stephen to find him vibes.

  Bring me your love tonight

No I am not where I belong

Bring me your love tonight

  No I am not where I belong

So shine a light and guide me home

  Hold You in My Arms by Ray LaMontagne

  My Jinji by Sunset Rollercoaster.

  Dare Me by the Pointer Sisters for that vintage flavor and to end on a fun and danceable song ;)

Ah yes sweet Nonny! Gravity is one of my favorite songs. It just matches incredibly well with my various otps through the years hehehe. It’s such a perfect song for Morod still being in love with Stephen and struggling with said love and his desire to be free of it. It’s such a tragic fate and the song encapsulates it all so well.

But you’re neither friend nor foe

Though I can’t seem to let you go

One thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down

Ughhh that part in particular hurts hard. That’s the strordo angst in a nutshell. Though the song is heavy with Mordo’s pov, I feel like this part matches them both. Neither can truly let go of the other, and both know that the other will restrain them. When I say restrain I mean like...keep them from going too far in their plans. Mordo will have a limit, as will Stephen. And that limit is each other. Also just the concept of being each other’s gravity is super interesting considering that their relics are ummm....anti gravity XD The Cloak of Levitation that allows Stephen to fly, and the Boots that allow Karl to essentially walk on air. If those represent their powers and abilities, then gravity would be weakness. Idk Nonny, it just seems like perfect for them and I’m glad you shared it!

As for the song “You Belong to Me,” I can totally imagine it playing while we get a montage of Karl traveling around the world to do some soul searching interlaced with Stephen waiting worriedly by the window and looking at maps. I just love vintage songs so this reallt made me smile listening to it ^^ Fits well playing in a Sanctum too! Just imagine Cloak sway to the song. So sweet!

“As much as I Ever Could” was a new discovery for me and boy am I glad you recommended it. It’s such a haunting song dearest nonny. So melancholy and full of longing and homesickness. I feel like this what Karl truly feels but he’s still in the denial stage. Perhaps it’s what he’s feeling when he’s still at that fine between between running back home or continuing on his new path.

When you kissed my lips, with my mouth so full of questions

My worried mind, that you quiet

Place your hands on my face

Close my eyes and say

Love is a poor man's food

With no proper side

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

Those lyrics tear me up like crazy omg! Sounds like something Karl would write down in a letter he’ll never send ;____; Karl baby please come home ;____; Stephen needs you. You need Stephen. Even the last supreme said so!

“My Jinji” has a very easy going sound doesn’t it? Very comforting, gentle, but also sexy. Tbh I imagined them having some make up sex while listening to the song. And of course the time theme fits very well with them. I just want Stephen to tell Karl not to cry ;___;

My Jinji don't you cry

This world out of time

Of time out of mind

My Jinji please don't cry

In this world out of time

Time out of mind

(Out of mind)

It’s just sweet and sexy and I totally subscribe to that vibe for strordo.

https://youtu.be/3IprBx1OlBk

“Dare Me” has such powerful vocals doesn’t it? And also...a super flirty feel! I can really imagine Mordo singing this too. Chiwetel’s got some mad singing skills folks, so Mordo’s gotta have some of that too hehee *hard winks* This song makes me think of him just wanting Stephen to make a move already. Like I know you want this, come and get it already.

I hope that lean hungry look means what it's saying

'Cause I'm just sittin' on ready, ready and waiting

Baby, make your move

Step across the line

Touch me one more time

Come on, dare me

I want to take you on

I know I can't lose

I'll be loving you if you just dare me

On a light note I just wanna imagine Karl playing this in the background while he works out in the courtyard giving Stephen the most intense come hither eyefucking. Go on Stephen....you know want some hehehe.

Thanks so much for this sweet nonny! I had a lot of fun!
