Project Takipsilim.

[mahkinarya]

A daughter of the gods enlists the help of a resurrected god-killer and they get together in a lesbianly manner. Possibly featuring cursed armor, beheaded mad gods, and swords n’ guns. Raia’s hair is naturally white, by the way. Always has been, even when she was a little bean. Silly comic beneath the cut.

She’s not that socially averse, Raia.

[mahkinarya]

A wicked god-eater, a forsaken daughter of the gods, and a city of eternal night. Mynah (she/they/it) and Rani(ya) (she/her).

Hi! I've been so entranced by your drawings for your story The Phantom and the Soldier, they're so pretty and I love the concept!

I'm curious for any and every detail of this beauty, it's so interesting, I don't mind if you gush about it 🥰🥰❤️

Oho, you want to hear more about my Angel of Music? My sewer woman? My drama queen?

A core part of Vesta's (my Phantom's) character is the desire to return to what once was - an angel in the heavens. What happens when an inhuman entity is placed in a flawed, mortal body (granted, to save her life)? She's spent much of her youth searching for a way to restore her previous self, but the hope has since ebbed away. She's now just Vesta, scarred. Vesta, drinking wine and hiding away in the underground. Vesta, with a face growing lined with age, brow furrowed while toiling away at her music desk.

Death hangs its shadow over her, but the arts can grant a kind of immortality, in a sense. The arts are a way for her to capture divinity, even if the product is just an imperfect copy. Perhaps if she makes something so powerfully sublime it subsumes her in the process. Her face will not matter. The masterwork will be all that remains. Nevertheless, she's also faced with human needs. Deep down, she does feel lonely, even if she doesn't directly acknowledge it much. She's secluded herself due to being used one too many times (angel blood is used to power magic, but that's a discussion for another time). So when she's faced with a person showing love and affection without any ulterior motive, how does she react?

I think a key part of the story's also about learning what it is to be human. The joy of creation in the arts. The smell of freshly-baked bread. Dreaming of glory on rooftops. A lover's smile reflected in your own. A family, found. Human life is about finite joys, but they are made precious because they end. We cherish them while we can. I hope that wasn't too sappy. I enjoy stories exploring what makes life worth living. The heart's a heavy burden, but it's one Vesta learns she'll gladly bear.

Inspirations (aside from various POTO works) include Howl's Moving Castle, The Last Unicorn, and... New Capenna, from Magic: the Gathering, surprisingly enough.

Fun fact: This originally started as an AU for ocs from an entirely different project (Project: Lorn/Takipsilim), which explains why their names aren't Erika and Crispin. They're pretty different from where they started, and it's been fun to watch them change and grow. And Vesta's a goddess of hearth, home, and family.
