I love this in such a weird and wrong way
The council will decide your fate.
I remember once saying that Mystic Flour cookie is eerily creepy: that she has this mysterious (pun intended) vibe around her that makes me shiver a little bit (plus her colourless design in contrast with her mostly red-brown lobby that makes her almost ghost-like)
Now, with the Burning Spice update, that can't be applied to him: he's literally scary
I'm not even saying anything about his design, but just the aura he possesses: he'd literally meant to be a Great Destroyer, which is something that you can almost viscerally feel by listening to his theme and just by his voice. That's someone you're supposed to be fearing, because he could and will hurt you. Adding to that our expectations: devsis already dropped the map of Beast-Yeast with the Faerie Kingdom update, and that made me wondering back then: who is this Great Destroyer, the literal God of Destruction. What were they like? How will they be introduced?
And I've got exactly what I was hoping for. No more Mystic Flour's subtlety, just pure terror. Now that's some incredible character- and worldbuilding
he is so strange. why does he do this. what is his problem. im going to beat him with sticks.
Maybe this is crazy and unhinged thing to do but I sometimes assign people I know to the vampire clans (of course without telling them) and explain some of their actions to myself based on it, like "oh this guy is so pretentious and always mentions how his family was Polish nobility before the soviets, typical Ventrue behaviour" or "I know what you are, an art student with penchant for weird sculpture and anatomical oddities", or our local gothic witch bars, book stores and cafés in the city center which I presume is Tremere chantry undercover, is there any hope for me.
Idk about other parts of the world, but it's missing CQM hours over here
My friends cringed so bad at what I'm about to say, and idk if anybody said it before, but please, hear me out:
Madeleine and Espresso look like Achilles and Patroclus, I'm sorry-
Sometimes I'm very glad that I deleted Twitter, because TO THIS DAY I've seen people from there hating on Dark Cacao or/and his ships with whomever except PV, branding him as toxic and 😩problematic😩 father.
Now I understand what people mean by saying that media literacy is dead, because they'll be crying to have morally gray characters in CRK but then couldn't handle even obviously good ones like Dark Cacao, who actually IS A GOOD GUY, and his relationships with Choco don't negate this.
And GOD FORBID you show even a mild interest in pairing him with one of the Ancients (except PV) or, gasp, 😱Affogato😱, even though I can bet it was everyone's first thought when he got released and we didn't know anything about the character yet. People be crying for "toxic doomed old man yaoi", but only when it has the room to make it actually not toxic and doomed, because GOD FORBID a problematic scheming bastard does something problematic and betrays everyone's trust, color me shocked. And when they actually have an opportunity to look into one-sided exploitative end-justifying-means relationship they'll eat you alive. I'm not even the biggest fan of this ship, but I had interest in it in 2022 and witnessing the amount of hate on it, I abandoned it on the spot, even though I love character analysis and royal plotting genre (and let's be real, it got so bad not even so much because of the couple of weirdos drawing disturbing stuff about them on Twitter, but because it interfered with fandoms PureCacao fanon. No hate to this ship though, but it is what it is).
Ngl that's how I always imagined him in my head and I always get surprised whenever I see his canon design
This took a while but
I made sprite edits on how I draw Elder Faerie, yes I moved his eyes and eyebrows a bit BC they looked off. And yes I gave him slutty gloves. Also those black dots at the left one is supposed to be his hands, I like to think he has long ass sleeves. I also gave him boots BC ain't no way am I letting him run around without shoes 💀 I changed some minor stuff and didn't make him unrecognizable I just gave him some elf ears and a more prominent hairline. Also I changed how his front hair swoops BC I tend to draw the hair more luxurious :3
kids these days have it so easy. not only do all actors ship the gay ships they’re part of, some of them ship them even harder than the fans do. back in my day we got hatecrimed by jensen ackles at fan conventions.
Can you draw elder fairy? He's my favorite cookie
OLD MAN
kitten I’ll be honest the finality of everything in this world haunts daddy like a second shadow
