Some of the Amnesia trope spin off of TROD AU I drew in stream the other day, Narinder version (idk I'll come up with an actual name for it or just keep calling it the 'trod amnesia au' lmao)
Still not quite used to Clip Studio Paint, the brushes feel stiffer to use and I think it shows but alas
@ruiniel tagged me to do some shameless self-promotion for five of my stories! Here goes:
Chthonic Bed Death - 🔞 Hades Game, Thanatos x Zagreus - This is my most popular fic on AO3 and I'm quite proud of it! I really put a lot of myself into this and like... not to brag or anything, but I still think it's pretty damn hot 😏
Until the Sun Rises Again - Castlevania, Alucard x Olrox - this is my main WIP at the moment and considering how rare this pairing seems to be, the response has been wonderful??? I'm just so obsessed with these characters and while they may not have interacted in canon yet, they have all the chemistry in my heart 😩
Hideaway - 🔞 Hades Game, Ares x Thanatos - this was a discord drabble that quickly went out of control. I love it though. There's some emotional moments and bits of imagery I'm really, really proud of in here.
How Do You Sleep? - Once Upon A Time/California Solo, Lacey x Lachlan - My beloved crossover disaster ship! I loved taking these two deeply flawed, dysfunctional people and making them learn how to lift each other up in their own way 😭
Resonance - Hades Game, Thanatos x Zagreus - My other WIP that has sadly taken a back seat while my Castlevania brainworms have been wriggling 😅 Thanzag AuDHD solidarity is very dear to me and the response from people identifying with the ND stuff as well as some of the gender stuff really warms my heart ❤️

No pressure tag: @killingkueen, @ver-writes, @coffee-writes, @mareyshelley, @red-hot-moon, @delta-pavonis, @abovethemists, or anyone else who wants to do this 😘
Sleep over time sleep over time
Medieval Europeans, despite their reputation as a filthy society, also bathed pretty regularly, often in public baths that were located near bakeries (so that they could use the waste heat from the ovens to warm up the water. Here’s a European bath depicted by Albrecht Durer (apparently you could chug a beer while bathing — very efficient!):

(I have no idea if this has been done already, but i cant stop thinking about this)
In lamb culture, gifting jewelry signifies a relationship between the gifter and the reciever. Depending on where the jewelry is worn, it signifies the type of relationship formed.
Gold given by family is to be strung on the horns, or woven into the wool on the head. These are more permanent and intricate, with larger pieces being passed down family lines. Marriages are usually sealed with a ceremonial exchange of this type of jewelry.
Close friends give things that will be worn on the hands and arms. Small tokens that can be swapped out when friendships come and go.
Tokens from those outside of friends and family are usually charms that can be affixed to staffs and clothing, or placed around the house to be admired from afar.
Those that have been slighted put the respective jewelry affixed to the end of robes and staffs, or tied to the ankles, to metaphorically and physically drag that person through the dirt.
Only lovers exchange jewelry for the neck, and each piece is symbolic. It is tradition to propose with a bell, of which the quality is reflective to the love of the giver. Higher quality bells chime the most beautifully, and have a unique sound.
When The Lamb was given their bell, it was flawless, for it had been handcrafted by a god. When the Red crown was fitted on their head, the marriage was sealed. The Lamb did not protest, for who were they to deny their god? They were executed, engaged, married, and resurrected all in the span of a few mintues; loving their sudden husband came just as quick.
The one who waits was not suprised by his vessel's unflinching devotion to him. He accepted the golden jewelry they showered him with, as offerings were expected. He humored their honeyed compliments and long winded ramblings; they fought harder and worked longer when he'd done so.
The one who waits was completely surprised, when upon their betrayal, he still felt devotion from them. The Lamb still loved their husband, even if Narinder had no idea they've been married for the past 250 years.
"Despite everything, it's still you. Right?"
Lamb would be utterly petrified if they saw their younger self. How are you supposed to explain that they will become the supposed last of their kind, suffer many deaths, and then become the god of death themself? Lamb wishes that they could have a moment where they could be weak and innocent again like their younger self. But, a god cannot show any weakness. After all, they chose this path...right?
Get hit early with some quick edginess after fluff >:D
I kinda got surprised by how quickly I could finish this on clipstudio. Guess it has just been a long while since I've used it (coloring is so much easier for me on it than Procreate I stg)
