Richard Roxburgh and Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing (2004)
The Olympics but high fashion by Wisdom Kaye
Doomed Love.
CW: Minor blood and eye injury.
The faerie monarch sobbed softly, holding his lover close as he was tethering between life and death, as the corruption slowly overtook his cooling person once more.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry...! I'll- I'll fix this somehow! I'll save you! I'll save your friends I-"
He was cut off by a pained chuckle from the jester.
"Silly.. Monarch... You... You know...this would happen..."
Ahahahahah yes that's right The Beasts are a thing in this AU too. (Just in case yall missed out those crumbs of details in my refs post of DE and Matcha)
Keep in mind that there will be NOTHING like canon. But rest assured, I won't remove the fun stuff. Like Shadow Milk's theater show that looked like a divorce between him and Faerie, and Mystic Flour psychologically torturing Cacao.
Trust me :}
Also this drawing is like,,, months old
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
insanely doomed yaoi
i barely make animatics cuz i literally completely forget about them after like 2 frames but hopefully i can start making longer ones in the future if i have motivation
Just realized that the Night Road ending where the courier flies off with Lettow is literally the lyrics of Chemtrails Over The Country Club 😭😭😭
No shade to daddy Stoker but I find it sad that now every story about vampires set in Slavoland is doomed be a Dracula rip-off regardless of whether you actually are from the region or not and because of what? Because of some dudes from Hollywood across the ocean who probably think ussr is still a thing god forbid and that Romanians and Polish are the same
So like, I noticed Pre!Corrupted Shadow Milk and Shadow Milk Cookie, his hair changed, and I found this out:
Thing is, I thought the reason why Shadow Milk's hair is short was because he was bored in the tree and decided to cut his bangs out of boredom lol
I want to talk to you about some details in my artworks that, at first glance, seem to make no sense, but they actually do.
Warning: please treat my artworks and lore as something like an original or AU, because they are only loosely connected to canon.
I’m really happy that someone asked why Light Milk had long hair, while Shadow Milk ended up with short hair. I’ll repeat myself, Milk is rejecting his past, he is rejecting "Light Milk." And he’s starting a new chapter in his life as "Shadow Milk." And it’s not as cheerful as you might think, but I’ll talk about that another time.
The second detail, which doesn’t really stand out, is the clothing of the characters throughout the comic. Light Milk was in a completely white nightgown, while Shadow Milk wore a dark dress with blue accents. Is there a hidden meaning here too? Yes! It’s fairly obvious — Milk moved from the light side to the dark, blah, blah, blah…
But wait… Elder Faerie was in dark clothing, and at the end, in light…
Something doesn’t add up, right? Or do you think I just decided to highlight them with contrast so they wouldn’t blend into the same picture?
No, the meaning here is that Light Milk, being in a white nightgown, eventually shifts to the dark side. And when he's in black, he's already on the side of good. And the blue contrast is just a small reference to his eye with the mark.
At the beginning, Elder is in black, and from the start, he was for the light and goodness. But at the end, he’s in white. That’s because Elder Faerie brought back his beloved, and while in canon, he fought until the end for peace, for the kingdom, and gave his life, remaining a hero… Here, Elder Faerie sacrifices the ENTIRE world to save the person he loves. Elder Faerie becomes a villain.
I think you’ve heard the words: "A hero will sacrifice one to save the world. A villain will sacrifice the whole world to save one."
By the way, I mentioned Milk's eyes… But I’ll talk about that some other time. I’ll just say one thing.
Light Milk’s eyes both glow. Shadow Milk can only have one eye glowing.
I strongly recommend looking for details in my artworks, even if they seem absent at first glance)
I know the fits ugly Im no designer ToT
Devsisters need to give Elder fearie an outfit 😔 pls i cannot with another Stardust/Sherbet cookie oitfits give my king costumes nhdnhvds
Also pls elder fearie beat Shadow Milk to death I can't with that mf anymore
There's something... deeply unserious in how we collectively view Sebastian LaCroix in contrast of how he might've actually been based on his actions
Because everyone agrees that this man just radiates The French Gay™ atmosphere 7 miles around his tower, right? Well, the only instances of him having sex in the lore were with women: Jeanette and (possibly) Ming Xiao (based on Malkavian PC lines to her, though it's questionable)
So it's possible that while the White Wolf intended to make him the generic straight European man, we, deciding as a fandom, that he can't be anything but a walking fruit salad, missed one crucial point about his character: it actually doesn't matter what he was, because first and foremost
LaCroix is just a slut. And that's beautiful ⚰️💥
he is so strange. why does he do this. what is his problem. im going to beat him with sticks.
