I’m curious! Does Devlin’s Zombie Foot ever start rotting and need to be replaced? Does it smell corpsey? Attract flies?
Yes, yes, and yes!
Devlin needs to regularly replace her zombie foot. It can last about a month of normal wear and tear. Half that time with strenuous use. Neither her nor Astarion are much bothered by the corpsey smell. She doesn't even notice it considering her upbringing in the sewers. The flies, however, are the first sign that it's time to find a replacement!
I'm actually storyboarding a comic about this, with Astarion and Devlin going on a "shopping" trip for a new foot, inspired by a brilliant comment from @tadpole-apocalypse! (PSST... to my MUTUALS: If any of ya'll would like to see your OC cameo in the next fancomic as a potential mark foot, hit me up! 😂)
Here's a little teaser illustration! WARNING: decaying zombie foot under the cut. Dead dove: do not eat.
Annnd...here's an uncropped version for those who wanna appreciate the full art!
Fun note: I looked at ballet dancers feet for reference because what their feet endure is true horror.
I’m having very particular flashbacks to an apple-god you wrote about once.
They made us eat them… 👀?
Holy fuck I can't believe someone remembered Orchard- Orchard and Margo are the same person so to speak actually- Margo is kinda pre-god Orchard who's very cheerful and desensitized to the harm she causes and Orchard is slightly more laid back but still as unhinged.
In their original backstory, Margo is an apple girl living in a world where people are fruit and fruit is meat. She grows bored of the food and eventually devours her friends, obtaining a parasite that slowly ears her and later becomes Maggot when she goes on a rampage killing the god that tried to befriend her - seeing through their lies as she was only a tool to them.
Idk how much of this will transfer over to clown darling's universe, but thank you for reading my rambles. She definitely puts a bit of herself into the applesauce she gives Darling tho-
Hey my maggoty loves sooooo well, as you might know (because of this chaotic mess of a thread on Neil's blog, oops) I've rooted up a WIP from last February. And I want to finish it. The time on that thread that I said I'd write, I actually wrote for three hours and wrote 3000 words and actually had so much fun? And I haven't written since then but it's made me realise if I keep myself accountable on tumblr then I'll actually do this thing that brings me so much joy.
Sometimes you need to be kicked in the ass even to do things that you like. In chemical kinetics it's called activation energy, if I remember correctly. Ass-kicking energy has more pizzazz.
Sooooo I'll make a tag and I'll just keep making stupid lil updatey posts, y'all feel free to ignore it (or maybe, if you need to write too, take them as a reminder and motivation, the way I took Neil's post as my ass-kicking energy. anything you like). Writing is a messy messy thing but hey we can do it together!
I'll use the tag Asmi's birds of paradise because the ship name I use for my two OCs, Rian and Avi, is Avian. And well, avian = birds. Flashy queer birds. See I'm putting so much thought into this :")
Alright I'm going to write a scene I've been wanting to, where Rian (who knows nothing about cricket) has to commentate on a game of it along with Avi (who's extremely good at it but is out of the game because injury). I wonder if Avi will realise that Rian's not even trying to commentate properly, he's just trying to make Avi laugh. Fucking fools I love them.
Let's fucking go! @howmanyholesinswisscheese writing with me, dad? beating those cishet allegations?
