ETERNAL LABYRINTH: AN INTRODUCTION

It is, officially, the 7 year anniversary of when I made Eternal Labyrinth. Yippee! So, to celebrate, here's a hopefully coherent introduction to the shit that's taken over my life for. seven goddamn years holy shit.

Eternal Labyrinth is the overarching name for my main 3 paracosms: Phantasmagoria, Mad as a Crow, Fractured Fables. They are all connected thanks to Multiverse Bullshit! The 3 also have AUs  that are semi-canon, in which they have crossovers and the characters interact with each other. The AUs are:  the Mad Rabbit AU (MaaC/FF), the Tamagotchi AU (Phantasmagoria/FF), and Constellations (Phantasmagoria/MaaC).

A quick rundown of what each paracosm is about: 

Phantasmagoria: VRVerse || Major oddcore/weirdcore/dreamcore vibes, literally almost anything can happen. Behaves like a video game most of the time, I suppose.

Mad as a Crow: Superhero Universe || A terrible DC/Marvel crossover that’s trying to have one coherent storyline with consistent characters.

Fractured Fables: FairytaleVerse || Fanfiction I don't feel guilty for writing because all of the source material is in the public domain. Quite literally my city now.

You can find me talking about each paracosm on these blogs: 

For Phantasmagoria only content, go to @acircusfullofdemons.

For Mad as a Crow only content, go to @madasacrow.

For Fractured Fables only content, go to @fractured-fables.

Each paracosm exists inside each other, if that makes sense?? It’s kind of like the Nickelodeon Sitcom Universe. They are both real events and also taking place on a reality show at the same time.

Phantasmagoria is a video game, Polybius, that can be played at JoyHall Arcade.

Mad as a Crow is a comic book series/company, Mad Crow Comics (similar to DC or Marvel).

Fractured Fables is a tv show, Toybox Tutors, aimed towards children.

When doing crossovers, the general vibe is “oh hey, this is like that [media] I like, just slightly to the left”. The only exception is for things like the APOCALYPSE AU, where the ‘cosm they’re from doesn’t really matter as they’re all put in a Situation.

WORLDS & DIMENSIONS

HUBS

The (Dimensional) Hub — All dimensions are tied together due to “The Hub”, aka Earth I. The Hub is an endless void that often takes the form of an empty arcade or mall. Each dimension also has its own unique door and key.

Player Hub — A mini version of the Dimensional Hub, except now it’s suited for a singular person. Everyone that has played Polybius has one.

DIMENSIONS

Holius — Space, primary home to Aliens.

Heaven — Primary home to Angles, mirror of the Netherworld.

Earth I — The original earth. Used to be full of animals before Vitalis added humans.

Earth II — Thisverse/our earth, no magic or supernatural creatures. Mirror of Arcadia.

Earth III — The apocalypse, technical ‘sequel’ to Earth II.

Earth IV — Magic exists, but only in specific locations. Supernatural beings also exist in secret.

Arcadia — Supernatural beings are the majority. Mirror of Earth II.

StoryBrooke — Where various fairytale & classic lit characters live.

Avalon — Fae realm.

Cyberspace — Dimension made by Genesi H. Voltrian. Only Computer Errors can enter.

Mirje — Dimension made by Myriam Travers/Bloody Mary. Only Spirits can enter.

Netherworld — Primary home to Demons. Mirror of Heaven.

Afterlife — Specifically the Arcadian afterlife. Primary home to Spirits.

The VoiD — A pocket dimension that people can clip into on accident, basically the Backrooms. Often used for storing unwanted stuff/trash. 

SPECIES

Aliens —Extraterrestrial/celestial beings.

Aquaentians — Aquatic supernatural creatures.

Computer Errors — Sentient Errors that spawn within Cyberspace. They can only be created if an existing CE kills you AND takes your Soul into Cyberspace — the process won't work otherwise. Because of this, some may see them as a subtype of Spirit, though as they're still relatively new classification is still being debated. Their appearance is very upsetting, often giving people headaches, and they make circuit-like markings under their eyes / neck / shoulders.

Dragons — A now extinct species.

Gods — So, this one brings up the concept of religion in Arcadia as the Gods are a part of their own pantheon and such, but that's not really related to this topic. They are omnipotent & omniscient in their specific domain (ie; the god of nature knows everything about nature, but very little about space). Gods can be either born or given their powers from another God.

Onerioi — Personified dreams & nightmares.

Puria— Angels, Demons, & Faed.

Humans

Avians — Humans with wings.

Cambions — Hybrid between Human & Demon.

Dhampir — Hybrid between Human & Vampire.

Elementalists — Humans that can control an element.

Empaths — Humans that can control an emotion.

Halflings — Humans that can turn into animals, basically werewolves / werecats / shapeshifters.

Regular / Purebloods — Humans with 0 magical ability or Zaryis DNA.

Seers — Humans that can see Spirits.

Witches — An old term used to refer to a Human that uses magic. By now this is the standard / expectation.

Reapers — Zaryis that takes Souls to the Afterlife.

Grim Reapers — Reapers that take anyone.

Ritions — Reapers that take those who died of famine.

Valkin — Reapers that take those who died in battle.

Pestis — Reapers that take those who died of sickness.

Spirits

Ghosts

Poltergeists

LORE

I’m gonna…try and keep this brief, but y’know. I’ve had this for about 7ish years so it’s kind of a Mess.

ORIGINS — Everything on Earth I was fine and chill until Vitalis (God of Life) introduced Humans. After some conflict between the Humans and Sentient Animals that previously lived there, a pair of twins get separated from one another. Theia (Goddess of Death) and Vitalis take in a twin each: Theia with Shadow, and Vitalis with Lumi. Ketrill (King of Shadows/Darkness) & Eloise (Queen of Light) are also made by the Gods, in order to protect the twins. Ketrill cares for Shadow, while Eloise cares for Lumi. Each twin is cared for by their patron until they almost die. Shadow is revived and Lumi is made immortal. The twins manage to reunite, and all is well until Vitalis grows jealous of their friendship, because he and Theia can’t really be together. So, he sets out to kill the twins. With Emory’s (The Librarian/God of Knowledge) help, Theia, the twins, Ketrill, and Eloise manage to escape Earth I. Unfortunately, they all get separated. 

CROSSFIRE — Shadow, now named Nox, winds up on Earth II. His memories have gotten wiped, forgetting about his supernatural origins, and lives a normal life until Emory finally finds him, where he’s then taken to Earth IV while Emory searches for the rest of their little family. While there, Nox meets Jake, an Angel shoved into a Human body as an experiment of sorts. The two team up to unravel the mess of supernatural shit going on. 

FAUX PIXIES — Lumi, now Lucien, and Eloise, wind up in Neverland together with their memories intact. They live as Fairies in Pixie Hollow, with Lucien longing for her twin, wondering if he even made it out alive. Despite her oncoming depression, Lucien befriends Captain Hook, and helps him ward off Peter Pan from time to time. After helping Wendy attempt to get her brothers back, Lucien discovers that Fifi (Goddess of Time) has trapped StoryBrooke in a time loop thanks to a deal she made with Blake Grimm. Unfortunately, Lucien doesn't have the power to stop her. So the loop keeps going and she's kinda scared her & Eloise will get stuck in it and lose their memories. 

REUNION — Thankfully, the two wind up reuniting with Emory after arriving in StoryBrooke. He takes them back to Earth IV, where Nox is. While Emory was away, Nox had managed to get most of their memories of Earth I back. He also reunited with Ketrill! After Emory gets Theia from Arcadia, the gang's all back together and helps Nox piece a few more things together. Of course, there’s still the problem of Vitalis, who’s been mainly focused on Nox but now that they’re all together? Yeah he’s not gonna be happy.

THE FIGHT — The twins get the idea to take the fight to Vitalis. Theia tries to advise against them, but basically everyone agrees that he needs to be stopped sooner than later. The only problem is, how do you kill Life himself? The answer: with Death herself! Though Nox and Lucien did most of the fighting against Vitalis — with Ketrill & Eloise’s help — Theia is the one to land the final blow. Her and Vitalis exchange some words, he basically apologizes and explains he just wanted to be with her, but clearly he did it all wrong. Theia extracts his soul/essence and becomes the Goddess of both life and Death. Earth I, and the rest of the multiverse, can finally know peace. Kind of.

CURRENT — Upon Vitalis' death, Nox and Lucien are granted godhood, with Nox becoming Entropy — god of chaos — and Lucien becoming Harmony — goddess of order. As Harmony, Lucien now has the power to order Fifi to stop the time loop in StoryBrooke, which she finally does. Still concerned over StoryBrooke, Harmony asks her family to help keep everything, well, harmonious. Without the time loops, then the Fables will have children and more Tales will take place. Given that she used to be Tinkerbell, this is a valid concern for her. Emory, too, as he was Cheshire. Not wanting his role anymore, he gives it to Entropy, who is ecstatic to be one of their favorite literary characters. Harmony, meanwhile, decides to settle into Neverland, so she can keep an eye on Peter Pan and help any other Lost Kids who wind up there.

tldr: life & death get a divorce and have a custody battle so bad it becomes the entire multiverse's problem

And that’s it! I guess. I know that doesn’t seem like much, but y’know. Side-stories and multiple other paras that don’t have anything to do with the actual plot … well, this is all technically going on in the background of all my other paracosms. so. really, THIS has nothing to do with the plot lmao.

La Historia de La Tierra Madre

Original art from Pinterest

Paracosm: The Ember Blade Chronicles

Summary: A brief biblical history of the elemental goddess, La Tierra Madre

Warnings/Tags: Though this is a made-up religion, I’d still exercise caution if religious themes are triggering. Also, repeated mentions of death and grieving, as well as overall angst.

Word Count: 850

One day, she created Earth. She had no reason to, other than the fact that she wanted to. She wished it to be there, and so it was. And she was the Earth and the Earth was her, yet she still watched over it.

One day, humans appeared. She never made them, nor did she know where they came from. But, they knew who she was, and they knew she made their home, so they called her "La Tierra Madre", or "The Earth Mother", because she was the mother of their Earth.

Thus, Madre was the mother of Earth, and the adoptive mother of humans, and she loved humans. Even as they dirtied her waters, she loved humans. Even as they chopped down her trees, she loved humans. Even as they made her air difficult to breathe, she loved humans. No matter how they hurt her, she loved humans.

She loved because that was what she knew to do.

And because she loved humans so much, Madre wanted some of her own. Something like humans that could sit above the Earth as she did, and watch its happenings alongside her. Watching humans on her own made her lonely.

And so, she split off some of the energy that made her, and she used it to make the Ancient Elementals: Surge (Sobretensión), Inferno (Infierno), Flora, and Cascade (Cascada). Spirits imbued with the energy of one of Madre's elements.

But, these Elementals could not learn to love, as Madre did. These Elementals believed themselves better than humans, and used their powers to terrorize them.

Surge opened the heavens and struck humans with lightning. Inferno burned down villages and sparked wars. Flora wrapped her vines around humans and dragged them into the ground. Cascade watched the violence, and wept so much it rose the tides, flooding villages and drowning humans.

Madre watched in horror as her creations did such terrible things to humans. Even as she saw what they were doing, she never grew angry or impatient. For the first time, Madre felt pain.

With a heavy heart, she raised a hand against her Elementals, fending them off of her beloved humans. The Elementals could not overpower her, and Madre locked the four of them in a space between worlds, adding extra shackles on Flora. Flora went mad, and especially frightened her.

But, the damage was done. The Ancient Elementals introduced evil into the Earth, and humans soon forgot who Madre was. So, she hid herself away in shame and heartache.

But, Madre still wanted to find a new way to protect humans. Madre still loved humans. She loved because that was what she knew to do.

Madre thought that the reason the Ancient Elementals grew so restless was that they had no body to live in. Madre did not have a body. She did not need one. But, she thought that maybe if she gave her creations bodies, it would humble them.

On an island among many in the sea, a human woman was expecting to have four young. Humans always made more humans. Surely, whoever made the first of them wouldn’t mind if Madre borrowed four. So, she imbued the woman’s womb with the energy of her four elements. Unfortunately, this killed the woman during childbirth.

Madre grieved the woman, but her children lived. The first new Elementals: Andrix, Nash, Alek, and Archer.

Madre could not talk to this creation the same way she talked to the first. They had the spirits of her elements, but the bodies of humans. This made her a little lonely.

But, Madre loved her children. She raised them as her own from above the clouds, though they couldn’t see her. She watched them grow into strong young men and fight to protect the humans, just as she wanted them to.

But, to her horror, the humans turned their backs on her creations, fearing their powers, and killed them before her. Madre mourned her children, and wept so hard a heavy rain fell over the Earth. It was the first and only time it rained all over the Earth at once.

But, before he had died, Archer had learned to love, and just as humans had made more humans, an Elemental had made more Elementals. Madre did not know they could do that.

She decided she wanted to protect her next children from humans, so she made a new Earth, far away from this one, and gave her new children a gift: a pair of scissors that allowed them to travel the universe.

Once she gave them this gift, her children, and the humans who still loved them, moved to the new Earth, and named it Macbeth. Madre, on the other hand, stopped watching directly over Earth. She followed her first children to the next world, giving a home to the spirits of the Elementals who have lost their bodies.

But, from this new world, she still watches her living children. She watches because she loves them. She loves because that is what she knows to do. That is what she is.

La Madre es amor.

OC/main self insert Intro Post

Yup this is the only fullbody art I’ve drawn of them and it’s during Joren’s first year in prison. (They were 20-21).

extensive backstory under the cut

Name: Joren Kasey (II), Prns: they/she/he/it afab, Current age: 23

Story ig: Joren was born on November 1st in Alabasta. Gail, their mother, gave birth to Joren alone in a hotel. They were going from place to place until Joren was 3 and Gail got a job at a pottery & jewelry store. They lived sufficiently enough and had a shabby apartment. When Joren was 10 they started getting small jobs at marketplaces and helping in the shop with Gail. Gail, 21 at the time, didn’t hesitate to talk with Joren about her family and their father, Soliver. Joren learned that the Feyrs had been banished from the Island of Tarko after they had been found transporting criminals through the island. Gail told Joren all about how she got married at 17 and how cold Soliver was. Although he did duel his father in defense of Gail, his efforts were clearly in vain cause she’s in Alabasta and he’s a rich guy on Tarko (bruh). Joren was rather desert-savvy by this time, tanned beyond the typical grey-pale Kasey and unnaturally freckled by sun damage. Joren was 13 when they started to hang out with Alabastan Rebels who opposed the government (cough cough Crocodile). They ran around and committed petty crimes and mostly avoided the law until they were 18. Joren was caught hiding guns and they were immediately thrown into prison without a trial. The first year in prison wasn’t bad. There were many rebels and like-minded folk. The prisoners were forced to do hard labor too, so yeah that’s not good lmao. On Joren’s 2nd year (they were 20) a well known rebel gang boss, Cecil Emillian, was thrown into prison with them. They bonded over their political views and shared love of absolute chaos. (Joren has braids in one of the headshots in their photo, it was Cecil who braided their hair.) Joren and Cecil obviously started plotting a mass escape. The floors were flimsy and prisoners started smuggling a few shovels from their labor into the prison to dig out. Joren and Cecil are also kinda stupid so this plan obviously failed when several prisoners started crawling out (led by Cecil) but Joren was caught and thrown in solitary confinement for one year. The cell was almost pitch dark except for the slot in the door where they’d be fed every other day. The first day was boring. The second day was also boring. The third day was scary. After a while, time ceased to exist.

“In the darkness, my mind festered. The first months were filled with typical dark room propaganda; creepy voices, figures, imaginary cell mates, but after that… how long was it? I could no longer tell the waking world from my dreams. I began to fall into a rythym of lying down on the stone and then getting up to pace in a circle. I wasn’t even conscious I was doing it. The whispers were replaced with a vibrant paracosm. Monkey gods swung from palm trees. Elephants rode tricycles. Leopards talked amongst themselves in a language I could not understand. They danced. They always danced. They sang ancient hymns. I was stuck watching a never ending story akin to a child’s fairytale.”

Mm yeah that’s pretty much all yall need to know. It’s not completely finished, this is like 30% of their story, but I’m tired and I wanna go to sleep sooo.. devil fruit is under construction.

Eternal Labyrinth's 7 year anniversary is THIS Thursday (the 16th) so now I'm trying to frantically make an intro post for it and summarize all the lore 😭 there's so much ... it's a goddamn mess ...

Intro post

Hello there! Welcome to my blog!

You can call me however you like, I honestly don't care. Same with pronouns and gendered terms.

I'm a Maladaptive daydreamer and that's why this blog exists. I will sometimes post about my own personal experience with Madd and such. Maybe I will share my own daydreams, I don't know, probably when I will be comfortable enough to share it. (Edit: Now I have a Masterlist of my paracosms!)

Other stuff you should know:

I'm an adult and I am not comfortable with interacting with minors.

I will leave the ask box open if someone wants to share something with me, especially if they want to talk about their paracosms. Don't put hate messages / anon hate. I won't even bother with reading it, let alone answer, and it will go straight to the bin.

Same with discourse of any kind: don't try to bring me into any discourse.

I have various characters based on various franchises and I don't want to interact with their fandoms. If you recognise some of the characters and want to interact with my blog, please do it, but remember that I don't interact with the fandom.

English is not my first language. I just wanted to point it out.

Okay, I think that's all. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Heyo! Since I’ve been posting a lot of selfshipping content for my blog, I figured I’d make a lil selfship intro. Even though this is technically my maladaptive daydreaming blog, selfshipping is deeply intertwined with my experiences with MaDD.

Not only is Loki technically my fictional other (as a fictpara), but he is also my veritbond (a para I hold a really strong emotional attachment to). I’ve been mentally and emotionally involved with him for years now.

That being said, please don’t push fandom blogs in my direction, and please don’t interact if your blog is a fandom blog. My bio and pinned’s DNI criteria also still stands, so please check those before interacting.

My self-insert (or parame) is Nevermore (hence the name of my blog). I’m not gonna introduce them individually, as you can read more about them in my Para Masterlist, just please heed the individual TWs!

Oh! And I almost forgot to mention! “Ember Frost” is Nevermore and Loki’s ship name because she’s a fire-wielding elemental being and he’s a frost giant. Cute, right? Hehehe!

Okay, I think that’s all I got for now. Just, uh, please be nice! And yeah!

Name: Ember Frost Paras: Nevermore x Loki Type: s/i x f/o (parame x fictpara) Tropes: Friends-to-lovers + Nevermore fell first, Loki fell harder Paracosms: The Ember Blade Chronicles, The Elemental Rhythm, Rewritten

Other F/Os

Thor Odinson - Best friend and future brother-in-law

Peter Parker - Unofficial adopted son

Frigga - Future mother-in-law (but Nevermore already calls her "mom")

Intro post

Call me Xero, not my irl name but its cool for online use. I'm a minor. I like metal, especially black metal and especially DSBM. This blog will have just.. everything. I will tag all that might be triggering (self harm, ed (my ed is NOT body image related, so don't worry bout that) suicide, all that stuff. I don't talk abt that stuff on this blog often nowadays, I do have a lot of it in my early days of this blog, block the tags and you should be fine! this isn't a sh/ed blog anymore) Do not report, you're not helping anyone by reporting, you're taking away one of the only places i feel safe venting.

I use it/he pronouns. I am an agender tboy, aroace, aplatonic and taken. I have no empathy and if I do, it is very, very minor and only to very specific people.

I'm a vampire, ghost and cryptid otherkin, I do not identify as human.

I don't have a DNI(I think they are stupid but I still respect them) and will block you if I don't like you or the things you like, if you get blocked and are mad about it, grow up.

I have ASD, ADHD, OCD, ARFID, depression, anxiety, and Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder(please let me infodump abt my paracosm). I'm not diagnosed at all but I do have ASPD traits. I also have anger issues (thanks mum). Moving on to physical stuff, I have bilateral hearing loss and auditory processing disorder and am pretty much half deaf, I refuse to do vcs or listen to voice messages cuz of this. I also have POTS and mild scoliosis.

Also note that I am profic, proship, comship and darkship (no i dont personally like shotas or lolis but idc if others do cuz why tf would i?), block me if that makes you uncomfortable. If you send hate and harassment, you will be laughed at and mocked or deleted if I don't feel like dealing with stupid.

[byoldervine]

Intro/Masterpost

Hiya, welcome! This blog is about my current writing WIP, a queer superhero fantasy novel called Byoldervine, and is basically a space for me to share things with others who are interested and to engage with other writers who have such amazing ideas and themes that can inspire me to keep writing. I'll be sure to add more things as I go along if I think they'll fit here or if I get asked a lot, and as I go along I'll also use this as a master post for links to character sheet posts and other things like that. If you have any further questions about my writing, always feel free to ask, I love answering your questions!

What is Byoldervine about?

The Byoldervine Sickness got its name twenty-five years ago, when the human realm's goddess Byoldervine became the first Celestial to die. Now, another god has fallen ill with the same disease, causing his powers to uncontrollably open portals between his realm and the human realm and thus sending through monsters and myths into a world not prepared for such creatures

Two heroes rise to the challenge; Persephone Foster, an immortal human intent on protecting these otherworldly visitors, and arrogant illusionist Angelus with every plan to bully Persephone off the job. But when the two vigilantes learn of a way to cure the dying god, they must set aside their differences and work alongside new allies as they venture into a realm of fables and fantasy, discovering devious plots and the shocking truths within the conspiracies of their pasts along the way

What are the four realms and who are their gods?

In Byoldervine, there are four realms, each ruled over by a Celestial god;

Aegis rules over Tyrion, a realm filled with angelic beings

Corrus rules over Nexus, which is essentially the afterlife and filled with dead souls and demonic beings

Nordsvark rules over Paracosm, the fantasy realm filled with all things mythical and magical (picture your typical DnD world)

Byoldervine used to rule over Terran, the human realm that's separated from the other three

Basically they're just heaven, hell, fantasy world and human world, if that's an easier way to think about it

Where and when did this project originate?

The concepts that make up Byoldervine have been floating around in my head for an ungodly amount of time, haha. The furthest back I can think for actually getting down to write them would've been around the start of lockdown, when I started writing a silly Wattpad fanfiction of all things (I will not be sharing what fandom it was for, fortunately I never published it)

The plot of the fic revolved around two immortal superheroes that would fight crime in their town, but slowly caught on to much bigger events that they learned were connected to their mysterious pasts and the powers they held. I eventually realised that all I needed to do was change a few names around and I'd more or less have a whole standalone novel, so I decided to write it for real, combining it with other ideas as I went down the line until I had Byoldervine. I'm not using the fic for reference, just the general idea, a character or two and a few plot lines that could be easily separated from the source material. Due to how niche I was working even when I was only writing the fic, I can't imagine there's any real overlap with the source material

Is this a series or a standalone novel? What are 'Unholy War' and 'The Heir and the Cure'?

I originally planned for this project to be a duology, a Byoldervine series featuring Unholy War (the superhero fic turned original story) and The Heir and the Cure (the fantasy realm aspect of the current story, focusing more on the adventure across the fantasy realm to cure a dying god)

The intention was to have them both take place in the same universe, with both stories dealing with different sides of the problem; the fantasy party would work to stop the problem at its source by curing the god of his illness while the superheroes managed the clean-up of safely returning the creatures to their home and handling the collateral damage on the human realm. There would be some overlap, but largely it would remain two separate sides of the same story

I later realised I could get more out of the two stories if I combined them fully; it would reduce character clutter, it would solve several plot-based problems, it would give me more to work with in terms of side quests, etc. Overall I'm very happy with the decision to combine it all into one book - though there will definitely be room to turn this into a series again in future if I want to reuse the universe, and I've already got multiple concept ideas for it that I'm holding back on using until I'm at least done with my first draft of Byoldervine
