The Lincoln Imp

Cast of the Lincoln Imp. Source: David Lawrence Art on Pinterest

On this day in 1731 a malevolently staring gargoyle in the shape of a devil that looked over Lincoln College in Oxford was taken down because it was believed it brought bad luck to both the college and to the city. This belief was reflected in the Oxford phrase, ‘He looks on him as The Devil looks over Lincoln’.

Lincoln itself has its own controversial devilish carving, the so-called Lincoln Imp. A grotesquely grinning stone figure that sits cross-legged within Lincoln Cathedral’s Angel Choir, the Imp is supposed to be one of the devils cast down from Heaven by the Archangel Michael following Lucifer’s abortive coup attempt against God. The Imp sought refuge in the Cathedral and caused havoc in the Angel Choir until St Michael manifested and turned him into stone and he resides there to this day. Some believers are very uncomfortable at this depiction of Satan or one of his followers continuing to reside in a cathedral but attempts to have the Imp torn down, have so far been resisted.

The image of a cross-legged cloven-hooved and horned devil is not uncommon across the British Isles. Whether its origin was to ward off Satan or to denote his worship by those who made or displayed the figure, is not known.

Helluva Rewrite (and some of my personal doodles)

Alrighty, so I finally found the motivation to draw up the entire I.M.P crew and finalize their designs! Introducing my version of the new and improved Immediate Murder Professionals!

I'm so freaking lazy so I didn't add shading or anything extra like that because ughhh. I also decided on some defining traits for imps depending on their ring, but only for the gang and the rings we've seen in the show so far

Wrath imps are larger, stronger, and spikier than other imps. Lust imps have varied bodies, but all have heart shaped barbs on their tails and leathery wings on their lower back. Greed imps are more slender than other imps and often wear jewelry. Gluttony imps are small and fast, high metabolisms so they can gorge. Sloth imps are easy to identify because they usually are just lying there doing fuck all and lack barbs on their tails.

Also, the scarring for imps is the same. White markings indicate scars. In the show I feel like it’s hard to tell what’s a scar (like Blitzo’s facial marks) and what’s a birth mark (like Moxxie’s freckles) so for my own sake, white marks are scars, black marks are birth marks or tattoos, end of story. Millie got her scars from fighting in the wrath ring, Blitzo got his scars from the explosion, and Moxxie’s freckle-like scars are cigarette burns. Should also note that imps are immune to hellfire, but not normal fire because... uhhh idk honestly it just seems more logical. 

~ Helluva cutoff starts here ~

I kinda wanna show off my own imp designs for my little demon thing because helluva boss posts get traction and I just wanted someone to see them, so if you only came here for helluva content, feel free to stop reading lol 

Okay, so I wanted the imps to all look like the same species but at the same time not at all. Essentially the imps in my series are based more on folklore surrounding them. In christian folklore imps are straight up evil, but I want all of my imps to just be little guys. Look at em, they’re just little guys. Imps were sometimes thought of as the familiars of witches, taking forms of different animals, so I wanted some of the imps to look animalistic, but it’s their behavior that reflects it more (which is hard to show in a still doodle). Also the imps are just color coded here so I know which is which, imps aren’t actually these specific colors in my world. 

Greed imps tend to bind themselves to objects that they particularly adore – in some tellings imps were bound to objects like crystals and could be summoned by their masters. So Greed imps often have a specific item bound to them that they guard with their lives.

Sloth imps are the most harmless when they’re tired, it’s when they’re awake that they become the full on imps of folklore. They’re often paid in sugar cubes and used as servants in the sloth ring. 

Gluttony imps are alluding to the fae origin of imps in Germanic folklore, having wings and being generally bug like and little shits. I wanted them to look like pixies almost.

Envy imps are the more attention seeking type who play tricks on humans to garner a reaction. Tricks such as attempting to drown people and such – harmless fun, you know? They’re actually a little based on Kappa I'll admit. 

Lust imps have the habit of snatching babies, as in a lot of demons associated with lust (such as Lilith) tend to be obsessed with babies/pregnancy. The lust imps are nearly infertile, so they love taking babies to raise, then discard them once they’re annoyed.

Pride imps are based on the Lincoln imp (in short an Imp threw a rock at an angel and got turned into stone). They’re fluffy and covered in shiny fur since they live in the frozen layer of hell. Their horns are the largest of all imps, and their biggest source of pride – like if they break their horns, they’d rather die than live with the shame because their horns don’t grow back. 

Wrath imps are based on the old art of imps you can find – bald little creatures with horns and tails. They’re the more feral animalistic imps, often acting on pure instinct and lacking much social structure. They do tend to exercise in their own way, as strength is their greatest feature. 

Anywho if you read all that omg thank you for feeding my ego teehee. But for real, as much as I hate digital, I did enjoy drawing out the imp gang, I might (keyword MIGHT) draw out some rewritten scenes in comic format the most daunting part is actually doing it lmao.

I probably won't shove my own stuff into posts too often, I mostly did it because I wanted to compare my ideas for Imps to Viv's because I think mine are better sorry not sorry lmao. I like to actually research what I'm doing and incorporate it into my art and creations because i think of it like little easter eggs for people who like the things I like. Viv's version of Hell is my least favorite mostly because everything she does feels like bible fanfiction written by a middle schooler who thinks shouting penis in class is the peak of comedy.

The Legend Of The Lincoln Imp

[asmodeauxx]

I desperately need to know where you found hell mythology stuff 🙏

HOHO I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED

Alright so whenever I do research I actually search shit up and scope the available links but I have some particular sites saved just for reference.

"Imp - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imp

"Lincoln Imp - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Imp

The links for my imp research is pretty surface level, most broad depictions can be seen in the Wikipedia. The 'Lincoln Imp' is one of many pieces of history that has imps engraved into stone as architecture with history that is actually similar to a other instances with imps being a part of the architecture of cathedrals.

"Lucifer - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer

"The Story of Lucifer - How Did He Fall and Become Satan?" https://www.christianity.com/wiki/angels-and-demons/how-did-lucifer-fall-and-become-satan-11557519.html

First link is, as always from Wikipedia, a descriptor of who Lucifer is in depictions but the second link shows the (short, I believe) history of Lucifer's downfall. Of course, these links end up showing only a portion of these demons' history, physical depictions and/or mythology, so take the inconsistencies lightly. Lots of depictions can contradict one another, but for me, the more popular depictions are ones that I go by.

"Leviathan - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan

"Leviathan | Sea Monster, Biblical Beast & Biblical Sea Creature | Britannica" https://www.britannica.com/topic/Leviathan-Middle-Eastern-mythology

For Leviathan, it's actually pretty broad when looking from the Christian Mythology aspect since Leviathan originated from Greek mythology. Depictions of Leviathan can be side by side with two other creatures of chaos, Behemoth and Ziz (one of land and one of the skies). I highly suggest you read these, they actually link to a ton more websites that I didn't include (mostly cus I'm in a time rush rn haha)

These are only a small handful of number of websites n videos that I've looked into, so I might reblog this post with more links in the future!

With the research I do I engrain it into my OC project, but of course the way it's presented can be different from the real mythology. There's lots of ways to depict these demons, so there's no harm in making it differ from these depictions. Be bold! (Of course, characterization and design has to be able to associate with the real deal to some degree y'know)

Hope you found this helpful 😋

The Carlisle House promotion...?

I noticed that There were a few things else besides the family talk in the People’s Family article and the other article that got published yesterday. The articles had focus on the home town as well.

Sudbury Massachusetts: Family moved to Sudbury, Chris lives near his family in MA, Carly is an English teacher and the head of the drama program at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.

Concord and Concord Youth Theatre: Siblings taking classes at Concord Theatre, Lisa the artistic director, Shanna costume designer, and Chris sits on the advisory board. Chris attended the grand opening of the theatre in 2019 in West Concord.

Massachusetts, Lisa grew up in Somerville, Massachusetts, her brother and father held imp political positions in MA

Love of the whole family about Boston Sports teams

The other article also talked about their roots in MA and again their connection to Concord Theatre.

If you notice there has been a side-by-side focus on Chris’ home town and state. I think these articles might be one of the initial stepping stones towards the promotion of his “Carlisle House”

Let’s go back to how the fandom got to know about this house.

In Nov 2022, a team real blog shared some info about this house that they had received from a stan of LSA.

In Feb 2023 the house talk got rehashed. People compared the trees but mostly people were not convinced.

In May, the real push about the house came around. (I am going to refer to the Main Team Real Blog which is also the oldest one as MTRB. Also, AD stands for Architectural Digest)

4 May – MTRB got the info about a sighting in PT, but they didn't publish it due to a lack of proof

5 May - Chris' autograph from PT

6 May - PT photo

10 May - house talks inside the fandom (acc to MTRB's source a pottery video was filmed on the same day)

 11 May - DM podcast about an engagement in the new house and fall wedding

13 May - Chris announced the pottery winner; MRTB revealed later about Alba being in the house during the pottery video shooting

14 May – Sighting of Chris and Alba on their way (allegedly) to the new house; I think it came from another team real blog.

15 May - House Beautiful article about them being engaged in the new house;

22 May - MTRB posted about their engagement confirmed by 2 sources that were credible in the past; RadarOnline article about the summer wedding;

23 May - MTRB posted the ask from AD anon (Allegedly Conde Nast staff knew about the engagement since April) about AD feature for June that was delayed by Chris' rep;

9 June - MTRB received updated info about the AD feature for September but they didn't publish it until they talked to AD anon;

21 June - MTRB published the update about the AD feature.

What I am thinking is the AD feature about the Carlisle house might be true. We all know teams have used the fandom to breadcrumb about this relationship. It seems Chris has been using this rs, Jinx, SMA, and Carlisle house that will be featured in AD to promote himself. The information about the house has made its way to the fandom and has been discussed with animation on different sm platforms that give this house more publicity. This house might be a business investment. It doesn’t seem like it will go to the market as it was also mentioned to MTRB too. The reason seems to be he has spent a lot of money on renovations, taxes and maintenance of the house and it seems he might not get a big profit by selling it. The more reasonable explanation seems to be, it might be set up as a mini hotel, B&B and might be up for rental. It will bring New business spot, New Jobs and infrastructure. For that, he needs promotion of that house. It’s a beautiful place near the forest and river. New England is an attractive spot for tourists. We have also heard rumors this house is a real challenge for realtors. It makes sense for him to use pr for the house promotion. It seems like he is collaborating with local authorities to promote his hometown and if I remember correctly he has also promoted local Museum in the past.

I think the reason why the pr push for the rs and the house was massive in the month of May, might be because of the upcoming strike, Scott’s promotion, his shooting in Hawaii and AD deadlines. We know actors can’t promote themselves in the strike but fans can do. If they are able to create chatter about them and their movies, gossip mags pick it up.

Now the question arises why this rs has been used and why the engagement rumors. Tbh AD is more for couples than single. Most celeb couples promote their homes through AD. Also, the massive attention that a rumored engagement can bring to his house is more than if he only promoted it himself. If you notice the house info came into the fandom after the announcement of this rs and not before although the house has been bought in 2018.

Another question that arises is why use the fandom. Tbh teams have used the fandom right from the start to promote this rs. Mags took gossip from the fans and then started to run articles about Chris and Alba. Alba was nobody. They used third parties that create the illusion of a real rs. Alba was given free publicity in the States using his fandom. That is exactly what actually happens in PR rs.

If we notice MTRB was dropped info about upcoming pr content like the pottery video to make MTRB believe the info. Then the engagement info was dropped. It seems like pure manipulation. No idea if it was MTRB’s initiative or sources’ tactic to give teasers to gain trust from fans in order to convince them the rs is real. MTRB informed about upcoming Chris content in advance then the pottery video came out and fans believed MTRB's info was real and truthful.

A few other interesting things that I have noticed. If you notice the Conde Nast mention, it seems like someone from the journalist team might have also used the fandom to create chatter for upcoming content and bring in clicks. Let’s look at which mags come under the Conde Nast group and Hearst as well.

If we see, Cosmopolitan and House beautiful, both mags published about a rumored engagement and also the new house. Vogue and AD comes under Conde Nast. Vogue promoted Alba for PFW. I initially thought it was impossible that someone from the office of these media groups drop would info to fans but now it actually makes sense. Fans are always used for publicity. It again proves how this pr rs has been used for pr and how things have been done in advance and also how hints were dropped for the fanbase to create gossip.

Architectural Digest is a great way for celebs for promotion. Even movies are promoted through AD as we saw for Barbie. For AD, celebs’ homes are a great attraction too.

- https://www.laineygossip.com/in-absolutely-brilliant-marketing-move-margot-robbie-takes-architectural-digest-on-tour-barbie-dreamhouse

Now about if Alba’s name or engagement would be mentioned in the AD article. From the posts on MTRB and DM it seems like they wouldn’t. First, the info was dropped for AD to be revealed in June but now the date has been pushed to September. If you notice DM mentioned a Fall wedding and there have been other deliberate drops about a Fall Wedding as well. If we look at the chronology, it actually now makes sense why the bits and pieces were dropped to create a narrative about a Fall wedding if they are after getting fans interested in the AD feature for Carlisle House in September. Fans would check it out because they are anxious and intrigued. House Beautiful mentioned a DM podcast about their engagement. AD doesn’t seem to be a gossip mag so seems like the reason why Alba or engagement wouldn’t be mentioned. Seems like it will be strictly about his house.

Another thing that is noticeable is MTRB was informed about AD feature being published in Summer. There have been rumors about a Summer wedding also. The point here is to see, there is a link btw feature dates and wedding dates. Initially, AD was supposed to be released in June and the wedding is supposed to happen in summer.

-https://radaronline.com/p/chris-evans-rushing-summer-wedding-alba-baptista/

Then MTRB got updated about the feature date. It was shifted for September AD release and DM informed about the wedding in the fall.

What is interesting is there is asynchronicity with the info drops between the wedding and the AD feature.  It seems the info was dropped by different people who were not coordinated.

All of this shows how wedding rumors have been used for the promotion of the Carlisle house. If there was a real wedding would the info be synchronized with the AD feature? And will DM or a blog would be used like this? Real weddings don’t need to have the date around an AD feature or the date doesn’t get postponed accordingly with the date of the release of the AD feature.

As for the question of why DM or the said blog have been used, like it or not but DM has a lot of viewers and MTRB is the oldest and the most reliable blog and is read by fans from all platforms including LSA, IG and Twitter. I would also like to make a request that as you can see the MTRB has been dropped info and they are just sharing what they get so let’s not throw hate their way. We can certainly disagree with the info but harassing or sending the Mods hateful msgs is not okay at all.

IMO, neither BUA nor an engagement/wedding is coming. These rumors have been set up to achieve certain aims which is always the main objective of the PR rs.

Christmas at Cartoon Network Villains Club (Christmas Special Dream Story)

[Rating: 10+]

[Characters: Flicky(my persona), Lord Ego, Lord Ego's imp minions, Mandark, Red Guy, Mojo Jojo, HIM, Katz(non speaking), Le Quack(non speaking), Father, Delightful Children, Cree Lincoln, Agent Trout, Jasper and Scoutmaster Lumpus]

[Inspiration from Mickey's Magical Christmas - Snowed in at the House of Mouse]

[I dreamt about spending Christmas Eve at a club made for Cartoon Network villains, however the portals to their universes were frostbitten so the host/owner of the club decided to celebrate their Christmas with a party]

Today was Christmas Eve at the Cartoon Network Villains Club, the inside is showering lots of snow across the studio and many of the rooms. Many of the Cartoon Network's villains are seated, clapping and cheering to their valuable host and club's owner; Lord Ego! "That's the end every villain and thank you very much for spending a wonderful Christmas Eve with us prideful demons. And having a safe trip to your ho, ho, homes!" says Lord Ego, joyfully at the guests! As everyone heads back to their universes, Ego was in backstage with his small imp minions. "Great work our pridefulness" says the female imp. "With everyone heading home, we can now celebrate our Christmas together my lord" says the male imp! Then their new guest Flicky came in and said, worryingly "Lord Ego, They can't go back home" "How?" asks Lord Ego "The portals to their universes appear to be frostbitten" says the receptionist imp pointing at the entrance. "Now my dear, how bad can I really be" says Lord Ego while walking past the villains until they are in front of them and they stopped and said "Oh..." The portals of the universes the villains live in are all frostbitten, meaning they are all stuck in forever. "Damn it!" says Father, facepalmed. "Well, my delightful children. Guess we couldn't go back to mansion to celebrate our Christmas" says Father, by his Delightful Children. The villains think for a minute until Lord Ego thought of something, something that can help the villains enjoy their Christmas... together! "I have an amazing idea my loyal ones!" Then Lord Ego jumps and levitates himself with a grinny smile, saying to everyone "We all can celebrate our jolly Christmas party right here" "Good one Lord Ego!" says Cree, as everyone heads back to the main studio.

Then it cuts back to the main studio all decorated festively and Christmas music playing. "Hot cocoa and cookies, comin right up fellas" one of the serving imps says, by carrying a stack of plates with white mugs of hot cocoa. Then the imps set up the tree and one of them sets the fireplace and they ask one of the villains for help "Hey Father! Would you light this baby up?" "Well... alright!" Father shrugs it, then unleashes a snap of his fingers, making into a flame, and then he releases his flame at the fireplace. Then many of the imp minions carry over the tree and decorate it with tinsels, baubles and the bright, shining star on the top! "Everything's is all decorated festively for the day, villains!" Ego responds, with joy in his villainous heart. "Hey, our Lord!" An technician imp peeks out on the studio's control room. They asked "Want me to set up the videos for them to watch to?" "Happy to, my delightful minion. Start it up!" Ego replies.

With a couple enjoying the entertainment of many videos playing, and chattering around eachother brings the year's loyal and honourable friendships with the guests
