someone who's willing to burn the world down for the one person they care about... that's a man I understand.

some old paintings of eli & keth that have been sitting in my drafts for ages

[image ID: six digital paintings of father eli, a thin young priest with light skin and short strawberry blonde hair, and keth, a demon with red skin and black fur bound in chains and with smoking pouring from its mouth and eyes. the first is of keth standing in the dark, eyes, teeth, and chains the only things clearly visible. the second is of eli in his usual black shirt and clerical collar standing in front of a sunny window in a cobbled wall with his arms crossed, smiling very gently. the third is of eli seen from slightly below as he stands in the dark, sweaty and panting, lit from the right by a red light. the fourth is of eli laying in a bed with white sheets, his head on his arm and his hand reaching cautiously out of frame, wearing no visible clothes. the fifth is of eli standing on a train platform in the amber glow of sunset as a train streaks by, shown from behind in his jacket and wide brim hat, smiling wide. as he looks off to the right. the sixth is of keth again, an animated version of the first painting that is brighter lit, showing keth is crying. the smoke is animated to move. end ID]

technically it’s venom for ex-catholics, but yeah, you get it

[image ID: a two comics and several sketches of father eli, a young thin priest with light skin and hair, keth, a demon, and eddie and venom from venom (2018). before the first comic is a screenshot of a tag that reads “oh so this is venom but for catholics.” in panel 1 of the comic, eli and eddie notice each other standing on crowded subway. in panel 2, venom internally says to eddie: “what is dog collar over there staring at us for? there is something strange about him, eddie. I do not like it.” while keth internally says to eli: “what’s this guy’s problem, padre? do you smell or something?” in panel three, eddie and eli overlap each other as eddie says “be nice, v,” and eli says, “shut up, keth.” the next comic shows eddie and eli standing side by side, with eli reaching into his jacket and eddie unwrapping a chocolate bar as he says, “I’m not much of a church guy.” in the next panel, venom comes out of eddie’s neck to bite the chocolate bar, and eli pulls out a flask as he replies, “neither am I.” the following three images show eddie and eli with swapped outfits, where eli is dressed in a big sweaty hoodie and jeans with his hair messy and a symbiote version of keth emerging from his collar and smiling, and eddie is dressed in a tight black shirt and pants, a clerical collar, eli’s rosary and reliquary necklace, has his hair slicked back, and is holding a bible. end ID]

ratatouille except it’s an exorcist who keeps a demon in his necklace that he lets possess him in a totally business casual and non-gay way /sarc

[image ID: four pages of sketches in blue featuring father eli (he/him), a young thin priest with light skin and light wavy hair pushed back wearing a clerical collar and rosary, and kethmannoth / keth (he/it), a demon shown in two forms, a smoke form usually contained in a small reliquary bauble eli wears as a necklace, and a solid form, which is very tall, skeletal in some places with patches of fur, striated flesh, all white eyes, sharp teeth, large hands, and six wing-like ears.

on page 1, eli is shown standing holding a bible as well as opening his reliquary necklace to release keth's smoke form, which fills his mouth and pours out his now all white eyes. there is also a detail of the reliquary bauble, which is a glass ovoid with bejewelled metal ends.

on page 2, keth talks to eli from inside the reliquary as eli pours wine from a cruet into a chalice. transcription: k: hey padre, any chance you'll let me stretch my legs today? e: no chance, smokey. k: can I tempt you otherwise? e: don't think so. eli is also shown in a long coat and wide brim hat with his hands in his pockets. at the bottom, eli is shown possessed by keth with smoke pouring from his eyes and mouth, smiling as they hold up eli's rosary, and keth says "you mind keeping the cursing to a minimum? my friend here is a tad religious. also, get fucked."

on page 3, possessed eli is shown in more monstrous forms, taking on more of keth's physical qualities, including sharp teeth, slashed cheeks, a long tongue, a long thin tail, and clawed hands. in one sketch, they have a large scratch across their chest. transcription: k: what the-? it cut us! e: I mean, it is a demon. k: this is our only nice shirt! do I have your blessing to rip this idiot a new one? e: just be careful, please. in another sketch, regular eli is shown sweating and holding a flask in the crook of his arm while undoing a pill bottle, and keth speaks from inside the reliquary. transcription: not lookin' so hot, padre. e: shut up, keth. k: you sure you should be mixing those?

page 4 is a single sketch of eli standing face to face with keth's solid form, who is chained around the neck, wrists, waist, ankles, and tail, and stands inside a sigil on the floor. keth is hunched down to glare at eli at eye level, baring his teeth and drooling while smoke pours from his mouth. eli looks back at him with his arms crossed, looking unimpressed as they speak to each other. transcription: e: are you trying to intimidate me, keth? k: you're very lucky for these chains, priest.

end transcription and end ID.]
