My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

for reference, of course

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

And probably finally came up with a potential name??

After like

3 ye-

What if I just named this story "Shattered Hearts" as a sort of title?

"Shattered Heart"

I kinda like "Fractured Hearts"

But Shattered Shapes kinda has a nice ring to it

Posted some character refs on my personal story blog

Might as well post the shapes' refs and doodles and stuff if I'm tryna get anywhere with this blog

I should work on all their refs

If you're a creator and you needed to hear this today:

You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.

People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.

My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.

Thank you

I will need this shovel

be free!!

I need to revive that part of myself that I threw away

be free!!

Got a new oc

Thanks to @color-palettes for the color palette I used to design Cozbi

served my duty as an autistic artist and made a bunch of autism creature reaction images

I love this

hyper fixations are so embarrassing for me because I make every part of my life center around the thing I'm fixating on like I would get out of bed and serve myself a bowl of cereal and be like "just like my Best Friend Finn the Human would :)" and it's completely unironical

Extremely niche but I want to look a little into colour theory or colour as a literary motif or really accessible colour science. Anyone’s read something good about this? (except for Goethe’s Theory of Colours which I have and is a blast and a little dizzying—Goethe you did it again you beautiful weirdo.)

I need one.

I love the way team cherry advertises their grimm plush by putting him in his little stage :3

Give me some drawing requests

please

anything is on the table

except nsfw

But hollow knight or oc requests, little random doodles or shit posts are allowed

And this.

Maybe I can draw it out

One thing (central idea) of this story so I don't forget

gods may not be perfect

their rituals may not be perfect

Pantheon's can be flawed

and the universe can be unfair

-quote Alpha because I can see them saying that

Reblogging this on my main one bc I spent a good amount of time writing this

idk why but kinda inspired by the book The Seventh Sun

what if the gods of this world made themselves dissipate into the world around them? Which could be one of the reasons why the earth has magic.

What if Aethel is not the first god generated, but a sort of descendant of the first god, Album Magicae, the god of White Magic?

Hence why he was one of the first leaders for the Boss/god/minigod nation by default.

----------------

Only a god can kill another god? idea?

----------------------

so then higher beings of this worlld would be gods and minigods

Gods would refer to the original pantheon of elements (fire, ice, water, earth, white magic, dark magic, metal, shadows, air, storm, etc. etc.) Although they could only possess one element (with the acception of White and Dark magic being able to manipulate all, as they both were the superior), the weilded their element quite powerfully, and could control the natural Earth's elements, as well as replicate or create it.

Minigods would refer to the generation of gods generated after that pantheon, which were typically gods who possessed creation and manipulation over more elements rather than one, but could not control the natural/original elements (the original Pantheon) already within the earth without using a majority of their magic, which will tire them out easily. Basically, they can really only control their own creations, not the natural world's/original Pantheon's. *Minibosses can be *generated with the ability to manipulate multiple elements, enhancements (such as flexibility and agility enhancements), and usually represent not only their main element, but strengths (such as Vince being a sort of god of lighting and war).

should there be a third species of gods? ones that are "direct" descendants of the original Pantheon? So pretty much a god who can posses and control only one element, but does not represent any value except that element? They could be some such as messengers? Messaging for the original Pantheon to the current ruling order?

it could explain the omen theory of Alpha I had/have, where Alpha being generated is an omen.

hmm.

----------------

But back to the first ideas, I like the idea of minigod having to sacrifice blood in order to have temporary control of the natural elements from the original Pantheon.

Basically, what I mean by the original pantheon dissipating into the world is that they gave themselves to an empty earth after Life and Death had created them, giving the earth a magical life. White magic and Dark magic maybe created good and bad morals, consciousness, and using magic from the now generated mana springs pulsating through the life driven earth, created a life, named Aethel. And from there, the whole miniboss saga began. then civilians generated. they thought they were the only residents and didn't know about Aethel and vice versa. more bosses generated. civilians and bosses meet. civilians (being human equivalents) went greedy and wanted the wonderous powers the minibosses had. So they had a revolution/war.

OHHH WHAT IF FOR THE CIVILIAN VS BOSSES WAR THE ORIGINAL PANTHEON SUMMONED THEMSELVES, FOUGHT OFF THE CIVILLIANS, AND TOLD AETHEL TO GREATE SOME SIRT OF GOVERNMENT OR MONARCHY FOR THE BOSSES TO BAND TOGETHER TO PREVENT ANY MORE MISHAPS LIKE THESE AND KEEP PEACE

THEN ALL THOSE YEARS LATER, HE MADE THE COUNCIL, WHICH COULLD SWITCH BOSSES EVERY FEW YEARS OR WHEN THEY DIE, THEN KEPT THE PROMISE TO KEEP PEACE.

ALPHA COMES ALONG!

OH BOI I THINK I JUST GOT THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY MAYBES EE

book and civics got me thinking

and I've been thinking of organizing this god minigod dilemma

k I go now cuz mi phone's at 6%

*generated: Bosses are not born, they created by White Magic via natural mana (magic) pulsating through the earth. They spawn.

*miniboss: You may have noticed god and boss used interchangeably. they mean the exact same thing in this world. Boss is another term for a god.

HUMANIZATIONS!!

Trying to settle a discussion😅

Please reblog to get a larger sample size!

OOOO YO OMG THIS IS AMAZING

finally decided to work on the designs for all the side characters in the fpk au, mostly residents of dirtmouth as that's where the main portion of the au takes place

here's the full height chart including the fpk family members

(short bios for each of the au characters under the cut)

Wyrm - once the king of Hallownest, now a simple resident of Dirtmouth tormented by the guilt of his past action, and with a lot of mental baggage to process. Grimm's partner and the father of Hornet, Holly and Lewk. Following the return of the infection, he disappeared in a self-manifested dream realm where he hibernated for years. Lost his knowledge of soul spells after Little Ghost woke him up from his slumber. Embraces his feral instincts by hunting animals and consuming raw meat, but means no harm towards others. Owns a small workshop from which he creates new inventions and plans for Dirtmouth's renovation. Close friends with Ogrim, Cornifer and Iselda, disliked by Lemm

Grimm - the Radiance's brother, the exiled god of nightmares, who travels with his troupe in seek of pleasures and to harvest the nightmare essence of dead kingdoms, in an endless ritual cycle meant to sustain his physical form. Permanently settled in Dirtmouth from where he travels. Wyrm's partner, the father of Lewk and the adoptive father of Hornet and Holly. Brumm and Divine are his most trusted friends. Despises Lemm and frequently threatens him, though respects Wyrm's wish not to kill him

Lewk - Wyrm and Grimm's son, hatched from an egg laid by the latter. The youngest member of the family with an increasing interest in adventure and the art of cooking. Brother to Hornet and Holly, the former of which he's particularly close with, and an assistant in Ogrim's kitchen

Hornet - the daughter of Wyrm and the Deepnest queen Herrah, and the adoptive daughter of Grimm. Sister to Lewk and Holly. Following her father's disappearance, she spent years all on her own, which turned her bitter and angry at everything around her. She now struggles with anger issues and intense fear of getting attached. Moved to Dirtmouth following the end of the infection, though she still patrols Hallownest. Friends with Bretta and Zote. Constantly butts heads with Tiso

Holly - the king's pure vessel born with the mission to contain the Radiance. After the plan's failure and the return of the infection, they were freed from the Radiance's grasp following her defeat at the hands of the void entity. The child of Wyrm and the White Lady, sibling to Lewk and Hornet, and the adoptive child of Grimm. Too weak to hold their nail, they now live in Dirtmouth with the rest of the family, where they engage in newly found hobbies of gardening and sewing. Best friends with Zote and Bretta

Zote - a self-proclaimed warrior, frequently gets himself into trouble, lies about his achievements and acts like he's superior to everyone else. Commonly deemed irritating by others, though he found a friend in Holly who seems unbothered by his false stories. Rejected by his parents and his home town, he traveled to Hallownest in search of glory, and eventually found himself assimilated into Wyrm's family. On friendly terms with the rest of the family, though finds both Wyrm and Grimm to be a bit unnerving. Friends with Bretta despite lying to her about his accomplishment. Often bullied by Tiso

Ogrim - one of the great knights of the Pale King, the last one that remained in Hallownest, best friends with Wyrm and a close friend of the family. Found by Hornet following Wyrm's return from hibernation, and invited to live in Dirtmouth alongside them. Leaving his duty as the knight behind, he put away his armor in favor of more comfortable clothing. He eventually embraced his long forgotten hobby of cooking and opened a small restaurant in the town. Liked by everyone thanks to his contagious optimism and supportive attitude

Brumm - Grimm's right-hand man and trusted friend. Runs the troupe in Grimm's absence and assists him during the rituals. Has one-sided feelings for Grimm, but holds no ill will towards Wyrm, and later becomes his friend following a Grimmkin's attempt at the latter's life. Friends with Divine and on very good terms with Ogrim

Divine - Grimm's closest friend and drinking partner, responsible for directing the troupe's performances. Friends with Brumm, occasional babysitter to Lewk. Has a particular interest in shiny objects, loves jewelry and fancy clothes. Rarely seen outside her tent, usually seen planning the next troupe performance, she dislikes being disturbed

The White Lady - the queen of Hallownest, Wyrm's wife before their separation. Cold and emotionally distant, often comes off as self-absorbed, but ultimately means well. Tormented by the guilt of her part in the vessel plan, she imprisoned herself in the Queen's Gardens. Wyrm's return from the hibernation inspired her to free herself from her bindings, and she now resides alone in the gardens. She is occasionally visited by Wyrm and Holly, and remains on good terms with their family. In a constant quarrel with Grimm whom she finds irritating, but holds no grudge towards over his relationship with Wyrm

Bretta - a young writer and a hopeless romantic, friends with Holly, Zote and Hornet, whom she has a crush on. Once infatuated by Zote, she eventually saw through his lies, but ultimately forgave him. Shares an interest in plushie sewing with Holly. Sees Grimm as an inspiration for her writing, and finds Wyrm to be a bit unpleasant due to his love for raw meat

Iselda - Cornifer's wife and the owner of the cartography shop. In the past she used to be a fighter, now she enjoys a quiet life with her husband and eventually starts joining him on his adventures. A close friend of Wyrm after helping him with his wounds following the Grimmkin incident. Very fond of Holly, who enjoys helping her around the shop. On good terms with Quirrel, dislikes Lemm

Cornifer - Iselda's husband, co-owns the cartography shop. Frequently travels around Hallownest, mapping each location thoroughly. Close friends with Wyrm, whom he enjoys discussing the Hallownest architecture with, and who helps him find secret locations and passages throughout the kingdom. Shares his wife's dislike for Lemm

Elderbug - the town's elder, good friends with Quirrel. Keeps the flower given to him by Little Ghost by his side at all times. Pessimistic and often quite grumpy, isn't fond of public displays of affection, which Grimm and Wyrm are notoriously guilty of. Following the renovation of Dirtmouth and its return to its former glory, he becomes a mayor figure to the town. Well respected by the town residents

Tiso - an arrogant troublemaker and Hornet's self-proclaimed rival. Lives in the City of Tears but frequently visits Dirtmouth to challenge hornet. Planned to fight in the Colosseum but changed his mind last minute out of cowardice, is extremely sensitive about this subject and reacts with anger anytime it's brought up. Disliked by Zote and Hornet, and by Elderbug for causing trouble in the town

Quirrel - a nomadic figure with no permanent home, a curious wanderer and once an apprentice to Monomon the Teacher, tasked with protecting her dreamer mask. Holding the mask halted his aging process, and after her death, he aged visibly. With no purpose left, he planted his nail by the Blue Lake, but continued his life of wandering and exploration. Frequently stops by Dirtmouth, is on friendly terms with Elderbug, Iselda and Lemm

Lemm - owner of the relic shop in the City of Tears. Following the end of the infection and the city's consequent revival, he became a respected shop owner, which made him quite wealthy. His bigger competitor is Sly, who left Dirtmouth behind and moved to the city in hopes of becoming rich. After Wyrm's return, he quickly realized his true identity, and began pestering him about his past in hopes of learning more about the kingdom. Very abrasive, refuses to accept that Wyrm wants to leave his old life behind and disrespects his wishes to be call him by his chosen name. Friends with Quirrel, disliked by Wyrm, Iselda and Cornifer, hated by Grimm
