My Helluva Boss OCs, Dax, Tripp, and their sinful demon princess Merihem of the Vainglory ring. Merihem is based on a bat & manta ray hybrid! I wanted something that flies, but maybe looked somewhat elegant even though it was still monstrous and demonic. Her unleashed form is much more bat-monster like, rivalling that of dragons. Vainglory Imps are born with larger, fancier horns, wings, and are more likely to have symmetrical or artistically abstract birth marks (white & black markings). They're descended from Lust Imps (regular imps who bred with Succubi, putting wings in the gene pool) and are obsessed with decorating themselves in any way possible, as their home ring entails. Vainglory is a major shopping district, selling cosmetics to it's inhabitants. Personal imps that belong to Merihem herself are decorated in gold jewelry, whereas typical imps will get silver or black cosmetic trinkets. It's not uncommon to see imps with strange white patterns-- some of these can be due to genetics, but many imps also get tattooed in Merihem's Bar & Lounge. Tattoos range from regular black ink to pure cutting and branding. Oh But What Is The Difference Between VG and Plain Old... Pride??
Vainglory : Excessive vanity, ostentatious display
Pride : Inordinate self esteem, unreasonable conceit of one's own superiority in talents, beauty, wealth, rank, etc.
"... Pride is about position and power, and Vainglory is about attention and acknowledgement."
"Vainglory is a characteristic that comes from the heart as desire while Pride is an attitude that comes from the mind as a way of thinking or mindset."
"... Vainglory is focused on impressing others and seeking the approval of others, while Pride is focused on one's own self-esteem and trying to be better than others." Hopefully that's enough random quotes I found on the internet comparing the two. They really are different.

Demontober 2023 Day 10: Merihem
Merihem is the name of a monstrous demon known to many as "The Red Death", as well as being the spirit of pestilences and a Prince of Hell. He is also revealed to be the enigmatic Red Death in Edgar Allan Poe's popular poem The Masque of the Red Death.
Merihem is believed to been once a beautiful angel who was part of the Destroyer Angel garrison in Heaven, which involved him being sent by God alongside his cohorts to destroy the enemies of the Lord with extreme prejudice. However, unlike most of the other Destroying Angels, Merihem was noted to be the most violent and ruthless of the bunch. Experiencing a wave of euphoria and ecstasy whenever he would bath in the blood of heretics and heathens.
However, the Almighty did not exactly share Merihem's view on finding thrill in spilling the blood of your enemies which of course angered God, due to the fact that blood is the life currency of all things. Instead of the Almighty ending his existence outright, he had Michael cast him out of Heaven and into Hell and the impact only twisted his once beautiful form into that of a hideous creature which is a projection of his inner sadism and monstrous ways.
The process of becoming a fallen angel drove Merihem insane and in his madness, he was imprisoned deep within the confines of the Inferno. It is also believed that Merihem founded a partnership with the likes of the Malebranche and Alastor himself, demons which specialize in the torture of particularly wicked souls. It is also said that Merihem lords of the likes of the Malebranche and Alastor as well given his obsession with violent acts against the wicked.
Merihem later became a prince of Hell and rules over the circle of violence as he especially finds pleasure and merriment within the Wood of Suicides. He is known for having a hunger for the taking of life, and in the process encourages to commit violence upon oneself as well as upon others. He teaches those who are insane enough to worship him that the suffering of life through disease or murder is the greatest joy in existence.

Merihem — Incendiary Darkness (I, Voidhanger)
Tumblr media
Incendiary Darkness by MERIHEM
Merihem plays a snaking, sinister form of progressive black metal, replete with some seriously high-brow ambitions. Check out their band name, which references a malign spirit from the arcana of demonology and also alludes to Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death.” That’s a potent combination in these days of COVID and Q, but so far as this reviewer can tell, Merihem is principally interested in dark magic and conspiring with the imperial side of the spiritual war; contemporary politics and pestilences are side issues, at most. The band laces its lyrics with dread, foul phrases from mystic and kabbalistic sources (“Yeser ha-ra / Prevail!” and “Hod — Tiphareth — Netzach” — hope singing along doesn’t have the byproduct of conjuring something baneful and brutal into one’s living room…). Conceptually, it’s pretty tough sledding for the uninitiated, and if you’ve already mastered that language, you should likely be spending less time reading about contemporary heavy music and more time cultivating immortal souls for unpleasant fates. Every endeavor can use a soundtrack, it seems.
As soundtracks go, Incendiary Darkness would be an ineffective choice: the music is too insistent and volatile to hang back in the middle distance, as ornament or accent. Songs like “The Geburah Apozem” and “Actors of Omega” have terrific, downhill-rushing riffs and smart, sharply executed rhythmic patterns. In their structures and themes, the tunes are principally imbued with black metal’s sensibility, but the compositional complexity draws significant energy from dissonant death metal’s warp and woof. All the musicians in Merihem are talented, but the band’s sound is especially marked by Josh Raiken’s guitar. His unique style and tone have made Suffering Hour’s records essential listening, and his playing is just as compelling in this setting. 
The ghastly weirdness of Raiken’s guitar opens the record, as he suggests the signature riff of “Crimson Communion” with elegance and threat. About three-and-a-half minutes into the song, another engaging sonic element of Incendiary Darkness emerges. To that point, Dutch vocalist Tiúval has emitted a harsh growl, but a second vocal track becomes discernable, featuring a clean, half-chanted monotone. It has a ritual cast, and its coupling with the continued growls is quite effective. The band incorporates that dual-tracked vocal mode on several other songs. Alongside Raiken’s singular playing, the uncanny singing imbues Incendiary Darkness with a distinct set of textures and a decidedly unsettling vibe. 
No doubt that’s what Merihem strives for, and musically, the record is very strong. The lyrics are more of a mixed bag. Most of them follow this sort of tack: “May Mammon lead this sick flock to the crumbling stairs of broken bones / Narrowing into a bridge so sharp that their feet will open up bleeding,” or, “No eyes shall see us now / As we whisper in the darkness / By this holy communion / Of excruciating pain.” And so on. Sometimes abstruse, more often simultaneously hyperbolic and trite — anyone who has spend significant time listening to Satanic black metal is overly familiar with this sort of thing. On occasion, though, something more interesting is asserted. In “Three Times a Legion,” Tiúval invites a “Goddess of rebellion” to “Shatter with thundering violence those who dare tame the wild / Smother the material flesh, stuffing it with its own creations / Like a force-fed, helpless goose.” 
There’s a well-worked metaphor there, and one wonders what might happen if Merihem’s players were a little less obsessed with the mystic, a little more interested in the world. Certainly the music has an undeniable, visceral impact, a serpentine churn. Perhaps that’s the idea: to use the affective intensity as a vector into something more abstract and beyond. If so, this reviewer gets it. The earthball is pretty fucked, and any way out has an appeal. But this music doesn’t promise escape into imagination so much as it delivers more fulsome, physically immediate experience. The listener ends up like that aforementioned goose. Which is likely the point.

mentally ill son or thot daughter , but the ‘daughter’ is a man & the son isn’t so sure he’s 100% male 🤔

"Maybe I should learn to do the fighting thing that everybody in Wrath likes so much."
Merihem, who has not touched a weapon in her little life, muses aloud.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to do anything just because other people are doing it," Satan said like a responsible parent.
"...But if you want, we can try some stuff out in the training yard."

Also realized, as I'm writing this next one, that I've never posted the Demon Princes true forms, aside from Abbadon's on that last post. I'm just gonna throw them all here, under a read more for those interested.
Tumblr media
Pythius's true form. Essentially a croco-dragon. Not as dangerous on land as in water, but still a whole lotta fuck no. Likes to sunbathe like this, and can sometimes be found with just his head sticking out of the big body of water behind his manor, dozing while he soaks in the warmth.
Tumblr media
Belial's true form. Literally made up of a bunch of ever shifting shadows. Can technically possess people in this form. Melts into a shadow puddle in this form when he's feeling especially moody.
Tumblr media
Merihem's true form, though his has a lot of what look like rotting vines and such on him. One of-- if not the biggest of the Prince's true forms. The scent given off by the odd leaves that grow on him in this form has a calming effect for most beings.
Tumblr media
Astaroth's true form. Aside from Belial's, theirs is the smallest. Doesn't use it much, unless he's especially pissed off. Likes to hop around in his cute little crow form, and then burst into this when someone gets close to say hi, so he can scare them.
Tumblr media
Abbadon's true form. Fur is very soft and silky. The rest of him, not so much. Probably in his true form the most out of all the Princes, and surprisingly not always just for fighting! Nice and toasty in the winter.
Tumblr media
Meinyr's true form. Being near him makes everything staticky, like before a lightning strike...probably because if he's in that form, there's about to be a lot of lightning and electricity flying around.
