New Arrival
Here's some art from another project - Star Eater.
It's in super early development, but we wanted to show off the quick sketch and flats of Claif, one of the two MCs of this bloody, fanservice-y scifi story. Like with Sweet Nightmares, we draw from a variety of mythologies, but it leans more heavily into some Biblical lore (talking about angels and demons, but framed more as mysterious alien races which some people trust and some don't).
Claif, assumed an orphan, has been raised by some empathetic aliens far away from any human colonies all his life. Then in his young-adulthood, he started experiencing some behavior problems that were chalked up to his alien adoptive community not knowing how to properly raise a human. He finally decides to leave and meet other humans for the first time and "learn how to be what he is"...
... Only to finally arrive at the human capitol colony and discover... he isn't one of them?! 🔪👀
*Art by Ismaire
He didn’t know the World of Life housed humans with such power. He didn’t know she housed such power.
She seemed so meek. So kind, so gentle. He let his guard down. Anyone would have done the same around her. But the moment he relaxed, the hunt began.
Jax knew he couldn’t fight Gangle. If he did, the others might hear and he would lose their trust. And if he lost their trust, then the whole plan would fail.
He would fail.
So, all he could do was run. He was glad that Zooble’s house was so big, for it meant there were less dead ends. He guessed that was the perk of having rich parents, although it probably wasn’t common to be the victim of a whip yielding magical girl. Perhaps he should have sent himself down as the son of a financially sound couple….
Darting through the halls, he couldn’t tell whether the footsteps that echoed were his or hers.
Finally, he found a door that led outside. Jax practically fell onto the ground as he desperately clawed at the knob to open it.
He didn’t want to admit he was scared. He swore (and still will in the future) that his heart rate had increased only because he was running. He swore his movements were more sloppy only because it was late at night and he hadn’t warmed up.
He swore he never screamed when he saw Gangle - now Cure Ribbons - staring down at him from the top balcony.
Jax’s hand darted to his pocket, searching for his wand. It took some time, but he found it and managed to transform into Cure Spring.
He hated this form for what it stood for, but he loved the power it gave him. With it, he was more nimble, more swift, more graceful.
Jax had no time to make a plan, however, for the moment he transformed, Gangle dropped from the balcony, sticking a perfect landing in front of him.
Thus commenced the standoff. Neither one moved. Jax didn’t know why.
This girl… she didn’t seem human anymore.
Jax was sure she was, but… the look on her face said otherwise. It was all shadow, aside from the one eye her mask didn’t cover.
Her stance was firm, like that of a predator waiting for the right moment to pounce. Before, she was so easy to read. Now, Jax couldn’t even tell who she was anymore.
The silence of the night was broken finally by the mutter of one word.
“Liar.”
The right moment had come, predator charging at prey.
Jax barely had any time to comprehend what was happening when a whirlwind of whips came his way. He tried his best to dodge, but even with his increased dexterity, Jax was struck countless times.
There weren’t even any openings for him to counterattack. It was just assault after assault after assault.
Perhaps that was a good thing. Then the rest of the precure would only see his side of the story.
But he couldn’t help but wonder…
Where did all of this strength come from? Had Gangle always been this powerful?
It was almost like Jax was accepting the beating. He wanted to fight back, to stop this blitz, but he physically couldn’t. Countless times he was knocked down, countless times he was temporarily rendered imobile.
He could see blood seeping through his clothes with his blurred vision.
The precure never drew blood.
Was he about to die?
Was he really going to lose his life to this meek girl?
And then, there was an ear shattering scream. As sudden as they came, the lashes ceased.
As his ears rang and his vision started to clear, Jax saw another body standing outside now.
Ragatha? No… she was transformed into Cure Buttons.
She was holding her bow as if she had just shot one of her needles from it. But if she didn’t shoot it at him, then who?
His eyes wandered the courtyard until he saw a body laying on the ground, motionless.
Did… Ragatha shoot her?
Jax didn’t have time to wonder when everyone else came out.
A few people, he was too disoriented to tell who, came to his aid, while someone else ran over to Gangle’s body.
Questions were asked by the others, but Jax was trying too hard to stay conscious to answer them.
It wasn’t long before another scream ran out, but not of pain this time. This time it was anger.
Jax managed to sit up just enough to watch Gangle being restrained by Zooble. Her movements were erratic and she tried to break free from their hold, but it wouldn’t work.
At first, she could only scream in fury. But then, she started to sob.
Her wails filled the night as she cried and blubbered. All the while, she continuously condemned Jax for lying to the group, for betraying them. She claimed she “knew it all along”.
Jax didn’t know how he let himself be so transparent around her.
As sleep threatened his mind again, Jax fought it off long enough to watch Gangle switch from sobbing to laughing maniacally.
She really had broken down.
Part of the sight made him feel something different.
What was it?
But just as Jax was about to identify it, he found himself too exhausted to stay awake any longer.

Day 6, May 6th: Mythology/Gods AU, Magical Girl AU, Shared Bonds, Secrets
@todoizuocha-week
shared bonds? shared secret? ehhh... close enough i think.
I am a magical person now hehe >:3
When I have the time to draw the design, just know that the skirt is getting turned into shorts, because I just prefer it that way
Gave myself giant scissors as a weapon! (Totally not because my Cookie Run obsession came back and Red Velvet Cookie is one of my favourites, and one of his costumes has giant scissors...)
What do you think @lmkobsessedmoth ? ;p
Hey, remember "Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!"?
You know, the magical boy show that everyone was making fun of back in like 2015? This one.
I just started watching it. There's a tiny little green hedgehog with the MANLIEST voice. It's so dumb. I love it. Also, the character designs. En (blue guy) is pure gender envy for me. No kidding, I would wear his magical boy outfit.
It's the perfect medicine for my poor, sleep-deprived brain. :')
So I was watching YouTube while reading magical boy when I thought ‘hay I wonder if there is any fan animations or fan stuff’ so I look it up and see this.fml…
When he awoke voices echoed all around him. The sun was shining brightly above him, no…
A light hung over head, every other inch of his surroundings was cloaked in pitch black. Nothing but the single, glass? Rose layed in his grip. The grit and dirt of the ground lingered on his skin, but no where else. lime green and similar shades of clear glass held his body in the endless void he traveled through.
His clothes felt lighter, not that they dissipated just that the fabric had change, devolved and re-adjust to fit that of a newly bloomed rose.
Or it should have, instead it looked like what every high school frat boy wish they adorned. Same jacket, green with an even white line from around the collar down to the sleeves, sweat pants that where similar. And a red shirt underneath.
His face was what had changed the most, a read and green gas mask in the shape of a snarling monster mouth, spike like thorns around the edges. Battle paint, adjacent to that of a fan at a rugby match lacing his eyes. Finally his hair a fiery red and white.
Tw: swearing, talk of abandonment.
Neil’s transformation:
Being an adult sucked, it wasn’t like high school where your parents waited on you hand and foot or college were you can have everything paid for you.
“I actually have to go out and work?!” Neil whined down the phone line.
“I know it must be sooooo difficult for you” the voice mocked.
“Riley! No sarcasm this is actually horrible!” He shook his head aggressively, narrowly dodging a lamppost. He grimaced as people shot him looks “me and my mates we’re going out tonight but I’m broke and apparently that means I’m out the group!” There was silence from the other line, Neil grew nervous.
“Maybe….maybe it’s for the best…”
“What do you mean ‘for the best’!” He did air quotes “my friends just ditch the bro code and you just want me to move on!?” He spat, throwing his phone on the floor with the sound of splintering glass. “Oh for fuck sake!”
Rain poured in buckets, Neil scrambled around in the dark, the mud of the woodland floor coating him. “C’mon! C’mon we’re the hell is it!” Turns out your parents aren’t entitled to buy you a new phone every time you break the old one “C’mon!” His hand felt it, for a brief moment. His fingers brushed against the cracked glass again, gripping it tightly he kissed the dirty thing. “Ple! Pfft! Mud!” He wiped his mouth only dragging more muck across his face. Something pricked his fingers, a rose, blood dripped down it’s dimly lit stem.
Suddenly light flooded him.
Black.
I HAVE BECOME MAGICAL BOY.
Anyways, here's a magical boyified person of my sona! This doesn't have any particular lore, but the design theme formula I went for was "Fruit + Dessert + Animal"; I went with "Peach - Chiffon Cake - Ragdoll Cat".
"Angel Project Lore Dump" Won The Vote, So Lore Time!
BUCKLE UP, THIS IS A LONG ONE.
ALSO, TRIGGER WARNING FOR MENTIONS OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DEATH: NOTHING TOO GRAPHIC, HOWEVER PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
Firstly: "Angel Project" takes heavy inspiration from PMMM/Magia Record world building (mainly in the way magical girls become witches), and it's very much a passion project stemming from "I love this world building and I'd like to do my own take on it".
Additionally, I will be referring to various characters within the project to provide examples and additional history-lore notes (as some characters greatly impact the lore).
Finally, Angel Project is meant to be in video game format containing multiple stories. Also, there is a mild bit of time loop shenanganery (backstory thing), and a mild bit of alternate timeline/universe stuff.
With that aside, here's the lore!:
✿
Young people (between the ages of 10-19) with good natured hearts, strong desires, and tragic or violent deaths are given the chance to resurrect and become magical "Angels" fighting against the "Demons" born of human malice and mental strife. A human must qualify in all three of these categories, or excel in one, to be eligible to become an Angel. A person can become an Angel regardless of gender, but most Angels are female as young girls tend to die more tragic deaths.
Once a human has become an Angel they gain 3 things: a Halo, a Seraph, and Wings.
✿
The Halo is the weapon an Angel uses to fight. The shape of the Halo is influenced by the Angel's cause of death; either what caused their death (Reika's steel pipe and brass knuckles), or something that could've prevented their death (Remiko's pool tube). Occasionally the Halo is influenced by the desire if the desire is powerful enough (Emaru's tarot cards), or is just cruel irony related to the Angel's first death (Tomoya's spindle, Kazane's fire poker).
✿
The Seraph reflects the eventual Demon form of an Angel, and is influenced by the strongest desire of the Angel. If an Angel has more than one desire that qualifies them for becoming an Angel, they will have multiple potential Demon forms and Seraph forms with whichever desire is strongest at the time of second death becoming the final Demon form (Ex: Tomoya has Bruto (desire to be remembered), Viceroy (desire to be special), and Briar (desire to have friends).
The Seraph's dormant form takes the shape of a wing shaped crystal with a shape near the base of the wing that represents the Angel. The dormant Seraph is what is used for an Angel to transform into their Angel form, and is commonly worn as some form of accessory near an area related to their first death (Ex: Mimori wears it as a hair pin [broken skull]).
The active form of a Seraph resembles and shares the name of the Demon form, but looks smaller or bigger, and also the name is different sometimes (Ex: Akeno's Seraph is named "Tiffany" while her Demon is named "LC Tiffany", Awayuki's Seraph is named "Titania" while her Demon is named "Pelagic"). The Seraph name being different from the Demon's name is not indicative of multiple desires or potential Demon forms unless the appearance drastically differs.
Seraphs can also temporarily fuse with their Angel, however this increases the NEE of the Angel and each fusion brings them closer to max NEE capacity (aka Demonification). Angels will be able to use the abilities, weapons, and Imps of their Demon form, however the amount of control they have over their Seraph in the fused state differs; the control an Angel has is mostly dictated by the personality of the Seraph and the relationship a Seraph has with their Angel
Davidson gives Reika full control while fused as Davidson strongly wishes for Reika to have full control over her [Reika's] life.
Norocului doesn't allow Emaru any control but since the two have the same personality and moral code it doesn't affect them.
Titania is actively working against Awayuki and goes against her [Awayuki's] wishes by destroying the things she loves.
Nenocire and Kisbie are both so dedicated to protecting their Angels [Suzu and Remiko respectively] that they don't follow orders and only react defensively to threats.
Bruto and Tomoya are mutually embarrassed by eachother and interact and fuse as little as possible.
Seraph-Angel fusions can also fuse with eachother if they have a strong enough bond/connection (doesn't necessarily mean a positive one). Multi-fusions fuse the appearance of the Seraphs, and the closer the bond the more cohesive they look. Multi-fusions additionally fuse combine the outfits of the Angels, but does not fuse the bodies at all. Multi-fusions can use all abilities, weapons, Imps, and capabilities from each Angel and Seraph; control yet again varies based on the fused Seraphs and Angels.
Examples of Multi-Fusions:
Reika and Kazane are girlfriends, and so Davidson/Maleen blend together perfectly (Davidson getting kitted out with Maleen's phantom maid clothing). Davidson and Maleen are both very obedient to their respective Angels, and so Reika and Kazane can control the multi-fusion at will; however Kazane does prefer to let Reika take the lead. (Davidson/Maleen multi-fusion doesn't have a proper name yet, but I like to call her "Maidmobile")
Awayuki and Remiko have a close sisterly bond (Awayuki big sister, Remiko little sister) reflected in some of Kisbie's Imps resembling Awayuki. Awayuki and Remiko died together, and so have an understandably close relationship. Kisbie kind of just... sits on top of Titania while holding Remiko. Titania's membrane-bubble-thing also becomes a minty light blue, and she gains various beach themed accessories.
Suzu, Emaru, and Tomoya have a very complicated "bound together by fate and time and that asshole Emaru's bullshit" relationship. Together they form a grandfather clock (Norocului is the clockface, Nenocire is the clock body, Bruto is the clock hands). Typical to how they normally are, Norocului is the main one in charge, Nenocire works on defense and stabilization, and Bruto just gets bossed around by Norocului. Only other thing of note is that by "fused outfits" Tomoya literally just makes them hooded blankets with animal ears and friendship bracelets.
Seraphs are functionally mascot creatures in their active forms, however the amount of intelligence and speech capability they have differs (Viceroy directly speaks to Tomoya throughout his alt-universe insanity arc, but Bruto is incapable of doing anything but rolling around despite them coming from the same Angel). Seraphs think independently from their Angels, but reflect their desires in some way.
✿
Wings are the magical powers an Angel has: usually taking after the personality and cause of death of the Angel. Wings are numbered from 1-6 based on how powerful or otherwise useful they are; and one Angel can have multiple Wings. A rating of 1-2 is a weak wing, a rating of 3-4 is an average Wing, a rating of 5-6 is a strong Wing.
Here's a list of what Wing power level combinations would be considered:
One weak Wing, one strong Wing (Average)
One strong Wing (Average)
Three weak Wings (Average)
One weak Wing (Weak)
Two weak Wings (Weak)
Two strong Wings (Strong)
Three strong Wings (Strong)
*Emaru is the Spiders Georg because he has 12 Wings of mostly high power and thus has not been counted
Although reflective of the personality, not all Angels like or know how to use their Wings (Reika is disgusted by her "Goon Instinct" and "Total Pummeling" Wings, Remiko doesn't understand how to use her "Color Banners" Wing and uncontrollably shoots out banners)
Wings that connect to an Angel's first death:
Reika's "Goon Instinct" allows her to control the actions of a target for an amount of time (like how she was controlled), and her "Total Pummeling" allows her to unleash devastating physical attacks very quickly (much like how she was beaten to death).
Mimori's "Rooting" Wing allows her to control tree roots (because she had her unfortunate fall from a tall tree onto some thick roots).
Awayuki's "Bubble Shield" Wing allows her to protect others and herself with bubbles (much like how she wanted to save Remiko in her final moments), and her "Bubble Float" Wing allows her to create strong bubbles of various sizes that can float people upwards (like how she tried to swim up to save herself and Remiko, to no avail).
Tomoya's "Air Threads" Wing allows him to manipulate and create threads which he can use to sew things at will. The reason for this ability? He caught a cold from not wearing proper rain attire and had an allergic reaction to cold medicine, killing him. He now has an infinite supply of scarfs and jackets, and will never catch a cold again.
Wings that connect to an Angel's personality:
Akeno's "Shadow Pluck" Wing allows her to pull items of significance from a person's shadow (Akeno being very distrustful and wanting to quickly understand a person's nature), and her "Tinted Glass" Wing allows her to become completely invisible except for her eyes (as she tends to hide away from others while watching from a distance).
Kazane's "Soot Sweep" allows her to control dust, reflecting both how she worked as a house cleaner and her life of poverty.
Both Remiko's "Color Banners" and "Pool Animals" are indicative of her young age (10) and her love of colorful and fun things.
✿
Angels will become Demons for one of these reasons:
They have their second death
Their NEE capacity becomes full
An Angel's second death is anything that kills them. For an example, Emaru shoots Tomoya, Tomoya dies, Seraph-Bruto becomes Demon-Bruto.
An Angel's NEE capacity (or "Negative Emotion Energy" capacity) is how much negative emotions and how many Demons they can defeat before becoming Demons themselves. Everytime an Angel defeats a Demon, the Demon's NEE is absorbed by the Angel's Seraph which gradually fills the Angel's NEE capacity. When an Angel experiences their second death, they become instantly overwhelmed by NEE and turn into Demons. Angels all have varying NEE capacities: so while one Angel would be able to survive as an Angel for years, another would succumb to Demonification after a month or so of fighting Demons.
Demons have "Nests" and "Imps":
Nests are the places Demons reside in. A Demon's nest is representative of the mental state of the former Angel
Le Fey's Nest is incredibly claustrophobic and devoid of life (the loneliness, longing, and abandonment Kirara felt before she became Le Fey)
Satin's Nest is a bottomless pit surrounded by white pillars and sculptures of a ballerina (the jealous spiral Akira went through and their desperation to prove how "elegant" and perfect they are).
Bruto's nest is relatively empty, with various reminders of Emaru. (It's a little hard to not have your final thoughts be about someone who, y'know, shot you.)
Imps are the creatures that inhabit the Nests of Demons. Imps can quite literally be anything, but tend to match the theme of the Demon and the mental state of the Angel.
Bruto has various sentient stuffed animals roaming Nest; none of which who want to be around him (because Tomoya was lonely and utterly convinced no one would ever want to be around him at his time of second death).
Le Fey has the Coinfaces (they exist to hide her, reflecting Kirara's desire to hide behind others), Pestleings (sparkly creatures that roam and collect shiny things, like Kirara), and the Hatcrabs (cowardly creatures, like Kirara).
Satin has Pillarina, which don't do anything but decorate the walls behind Satin (like Akira wished their friend would do).

I think that about covers it for now, but if you have any questions feel free to ask! I might edit or reblog this later with any additional information, but for now, thank you for taking time to read this!
*Parasite Wardrobe and Angel Project are personal stories and projects I've been working on, sorry for not mentioning it sooner!
Welp I made a Seed of Chucky Magical Girl/Boy AU where Glen receives a rose quartz pendant as a gift and since he got curious about Chucky's Voodoo Magic so he found a big spellbook Chucky kept from his days of being taught the practice and stumbled upon a spell that with the rose quartz pendant, hes able to summon Glenda into her own separate body since thank to the spell, the pendant is now able to harbor Glenda's soul and cast it out as her own separate body
This spell also caused them both to receive magical voodoo powers that are pretty similar to magical girl abilities n such and Glen decided that in order to make the best of having the rowdy out-of-control Glenda around when she happened to show up, they both become The Magical Voodoo Knights in order to inact magical vigilante justice onto criminals and other dangers of the city at night n day
I hope you all enjoy!! 🌈🌈
