Masque Of The Red Death - Blog Posts
And here we have my Plauge Marine Greater possessed/Demon Prince oc. I dot really have a ton of personal lore on her yet, but she does lead my custom Death Gaurd Warband "The Masque of the Crimson Rot"
Their colour scheme is red with gold trim and pail pink flesh, and their energy is green.
Omg nevermore post this is crazy
Anyway I want to share a song from my prospero playlist, beneath the mask by lyn (from the persona 5 ost) this song has lyrics directly referencing the masque of the red death by edgar allan poe which if you didn’t know is the story prospero comes from :D
Heres the lyrics that directly reference the story
In the masque of the red death the kingdom the prince prospero oversees it facing a plague and the rich avoid it by hiding away in their homes which the poor cannot afford prospero grows bored waiting for the plague to pass so he hosts a masquerade (“at poe’s masquerade”) at the masquerade a figure appears wearing all red and a mask of a corpse prospero is offended by what he assumes is a cruel joke so he unmasks the offender (“please don’t take off my mask”) only to find there is nothing underneath (“I have no face to show”) the figure was a manifestation of the red death itself and everyone in the masquerade had just been infected
I was playing persona 5 sitting in cafe Leblanc and listening to this song when I was like “poe’s masquerade??” “Masque of the red death???” “PROSPERO!??!?!” Just wanted to share ^-^
(oh also this is an oversimplification of the masque of the red death I skipped a lot of the details and didn’t get into the themes at all please go read it yourself or find a more detailed summary its so good)
So I binged nevermore last night and I am thoroughly obsessed with prospero and duke right now. Being aromantic and reading webtoons with romance heavy plots is so funny cause the main two characters are like the least important people in the world to me I want to know more about everyone else I literally cannot wait to see how terrible prospero and montresor being forced to be roommates is gonna be I wanna see more of dukes spectre I wanna see how prospero died ect. ect. I love them SO MUCH
