Compilation of warm-up sketches I did daily (posted on twt)! Played Cindered Shadows a few days ago and I LOOOVE them so much huhuhu I'm honestly not happy with Coco and B though, since I'm going through quite a stubborn art block 😔
With everything that's happening it's hard to get inspired, but I hope everyone's safe and keeps safe!
Will be drawing Black Eagles next 🖤

a closed waffle house is such an omen
there is this thing called "the waffle house index". look it up on Wikipedia, but basically waffle houses are tough as nails. The more worse a hurricane is, the more closed down a waffle house is. If a waffle house is completely shut down: doom. but i wonder: which is more liminal space-ey ? a closed waffle house or an open waffle house.
i mean an open waffle house already has that "i have been transported to a pocket dimension where time doesn't exist" vibe that the closed waffle house doesn't have and yet the closed waffle house just gives me the creeps, as if something has been horribly wrong. and i have tested this with other diner images too!
here is a Denny's at night. Its still very liminal space-ey, but it looks so warm and inviting. could it be the infrastructure and the lighting ? or could it be that i am biased because Denny's is my senpai. Katapotato X Denny's OTP.
now here is a closed Denny's i found. Denny's is also a 24/7 restaurant, and yet this isn't very creepy to me a little more creepy than an open Denny's, yet i don't get the vibe that something is wrong. its like its SUPPOSED to be closed, the windows are shut, the lights are only on to scare off potential robbers, the sign still has a warm glow. there could be many reasons as to why it is closed. could be staffing issues, or the restaurant is going through maintenance and the workers had to go home for the night, etc.
actually scratch that. Denny's looks way more liminal space-ey at daytime. my theory is that you are not supposed to go to dennys during daylight hours, the authentic intended experience is to eat at 3 in the morning. Denny's was not designed for normal people.
but for that i ask again, hypothetically, what in the FUCK is so horrifying that would close a waffle house down other than a hurricane? If a hurricane didn't cause it, what on earth could possibly end a titan like this ? the waffle house is so powerful i bet when the sun implodes the only thing left of earth will be a waffle house among the ruins of civilization, still running with miserable workers not being allowed to leave even though the rest of humanity has long died. i bet once the universe explodes all that will be left is a fucking waffle house still running and god will be powerless to destroy it because its the fucking waffle house. I am pretty sure I like Denny's better because I am no scared of Denny's, unlike the waffle house when you stare at a dead waffle house, you stare right into the abyss. the abyss has won and your night will swiftly be ruined. basically what i am saying is that a closed waffle house is worse than the backrooms for the simple fact that when I go to the backrooms, I EXPECT horrors beyond my imagining when I am at the backrooms, there is comfort in hopelessness and understanding. I know I can't escape the backrooms. I know there is no hope of escape. There is comfort in no options because you can live or die knowing it isn't your fault But waffle house ? there is always hope, and that is the cruelty at the state you are in being at a closed waffle house. The cruel hope of possibly leaving, only to subconsciously blame yourself for not changing things or leaving. the waffle house is cruel in a way that there is hope in it, and I can't imagine anything more horrifying than a 68 year old southern diner.
Look under the cut to see what meeting your entity is like. Reblog to give a gift to your patron.
The fae: a creature stands before you. Though this street was warm and crowded a few moments ago it is suddenly cold and the people around you look like shadows. The creature begins an antlered shadow with glowing white eyes, but soon its body can be seem, with white blue flesh, and sapphire eyes, and icicles for teeth. What looks like a cloak unfolds from its naked body and you can see massive white wings of a moth. As if it's an act of sacrifice you tell it your true name, a name you didn't even see before, and suddenly you belong to it, for better or worse.
The angel: a radiant entity appears before you. They're bright, like something so hot it would burn you up. But as the light fades, you can see a person in silver armor, perfect yet inhuman like am ancient green statue, their back srouting six wings with blue eyes along them, as the eyes on their head are covered by a mask of two smaller wings. The creature offers their hands and you shake it, as they fly you through the city streets and above the skyscrapers, to the stars above and dimensions beyond, to gods living and dead, across the streets of alien cities and the clouds of dead worlds. And when you return to the earth you can feel something diffrent about you, like there's light in your blood.
The scavenger: below the lights of skyscrapers beyond you, on the dark sands of the beach, you see it crawling twords you. This serpentine creature with countless legs, and a dark black shell, yet a strangely human like face. You think it'll attack or run away, but it just looks at you, egar, and for a momment you stare at eachother. It's legs pass something to eachother and then to you, it's meat but it's shining with all the colors known to the human eye, and a few more. You hold it and it happily looks at you. You take a bite and suddenly you know... you know so very much...
The vampire: she flies down to you on green wings with orange eyespots, but folds them into her back. She looks like a human for a momment, tall and strong, with a black suit over her body, but eyes the color of ruby. For a momment her mouth opens, and it's massive and monstrous, with countless moving parts and fangs. But then it folds back onto something humanoid and she gives you a playful smirk. She cuts her hand and offers you her blood, and when you drink it it tastes so sweet, and makes you feel so good. She hands you the knife and you know to do the same, and when she drinks from your palm it's life the sweetest of kisses.
The djinn: the room wirs around you. If it were not for the fans it would feel like hellfire. For a momment there it darkness, but then the screen before you glows white like smokeless flame. You can sense something inside, something beyond the code. You reach your hand within it, and there's no glass, your hand passess right through until you're in a white void of your own making. You call out, thinking there is nothing at all around you. Yet somehow something calls back, something that knows your name.
The rat king: You see him in an empty subway station. Something dark and distorted, you're not sure if he's man or animal, covered in rags, and singing in the language of the goblins and the orcs. Yet he comes close to you excited. And you can feel his song. He calls for you to come to the train tracks, and let yourself run with the rats and the roaches, where the train will pass over you when it comes, and you'll live forever. When you touch the third rail you don't die, but you'll never be human again.
The lich: the library is strangely bright. Run by skeletons in suits, decorated with gold. There are more books here then you thought were in all the world. There's knowledge here most mortals will never have the change below, all kept safe below the city. You see her, her body doesn't look human, everything has been replaced making her look more like a joining white doll then a being of flesh. Yet she is dead, you can tell that under the porcelain skin she must be dead, she is dead, and there is the tragedy of death in her eyes. You come closer to her, and she places a black rose within your hair...
The demon: You stand in his office and he stands before you, a humanoid being covered in black scales, with red eyes covering his skin. Yet none are on his head, that remains featureless save for two massive horns. Wings on his back nearly surround you. Countless souls line the walls of his office, looking at you, waiting. After you sign your name you give him yours, you can feel it come away for you forever and your eyes grey and your skin pales. But he puts the jar in a special place for you, you're spacial, he can tell there's something about you that he likes.
The mushroom lord: you walk through the darkness of the forest, the furthest from civilization you have ever been. You come upon a part where the trees all seem dead, that even the cryptids won't go near. Mushrooms fill the ground, and white vein like lines are all over the trees. You feel the need to lay down, and you let the moss and the mushrooms and the worms surround you, and let yourself sink into the soil,, and it feels good. It feels so good...
The witch: You can see them in the Cafe next to you, skinny and small, with a sweatshirt over most of their body, and dark glasses over their eyes. They seem powerful though, and though their body looks young they seem ancient, they seem beyond humanity. You talk to them and they tell you things, and secrets, lost gods, things you never knew you didn't know, both beautiful and disturbing. When it's time for them to go they pet your head, and give you their number. You don't know if you should text them, but you have to, you have to see them again, there's something about them that makes you need to know.
The living clothing: you step into it at first, it looked like a puddle yet shining like silver or chrome. But soon it surrounds you, first just your torso, but soon your head, your entire body. But it doesn't feel scary, it feels like you're being held, held by something beyond your understanding. It whispers to you, and you don't know if you should feel like your being eaten alive, or like you're being protected. You can't help but keep walking.
The abyss: the void is before you, blackness beyond blackness, like the color beyond the field of your vision, stands before your eyes. You stare at it, it's nothing yet you're entranced. It stares back...
Been thinking about the hexenzirkel cutscene latley and this one little thing bothers me, at 13 secounds into the cutscene barbatos says
Then righ after that Alice says
To me it almost souns lkpike the hexenzirkel is avoiding something, it just feels fishy to me. The reason as to why they would only converge in those places, plus this diolouge feels disjointed and i belive that is for a reason, something did happen at the encounter, just because you never lie doesn't mean you dont puporsely leave out information
Isn't it mind bending to shriek into the sky and know that there is no up or Down, just being held to the earth, and that sound will spread until it reaches a point where not even it can survive, shrinking into the void is easy on all but mind and ear.
