No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?

If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.

These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.

My family needs urgent help.

Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make. We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.

Please, if you’re reading this: help. Reblog this post. Talk about us. Donate if you can. Even a small act can mean everything right now.

Thoughts on upcoming Blasphemous II dlc!!! (Spoilers of second game discussed underneath

Man with the buzz of Blasphemous II getting a new dlc I've said it already but I really really hope Esdras is included or at least mentioned. I'm having to scan for any new concept art to see if anyone along the lines of Esdras is being teased😭. I still think it's ridiculous we got nothing to indicate what happened to Esdras in the base game, and I'm genuinely praying they don't ignore him altogether or have completely forgotten him.

Also low-key praying the dlc remains mostly story continuation focused. We have no time for crossover dlcs, not when Esdras is still missing 😭

I wanted to redo this in digital but the texture is tasty and I don't wanna lose it so here. zero quality penias. shitass sketch.

I love them, their suffering destroys me but I love them rahhhhh

[aconite-besiaka]

how we feeling about this one guys

ressurected my old artstyle (it caused a huge artblock for me in the past and I can sorta see why) because I didn't want to draw every little detail on perpetva's tomb sorry girlll

also in this song "forever" from Esdras' perspective may be a call for his sister since her name means eternal but shhhh I didn't tell ya that

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

Rotating Esdras in my head a bit more and I'm a little sad John DeLuca didn't stay as Esdras' English VA for Blasphemous. It would have been very neat to hear Esdras' new dialogue in his voice and interpret Esdras' emotions in John DeLuca's voice!

(Regarding that last part, it can be observed when voiced by Mario Garcia, Esdras in the Spanish dub sounds noticeably more melancholic and even hesitant.)

With that being said, I do wonder if perhaps Esdras had unused dialogue in John DeLuca's voice before the Stir of Dawn dlc, specifically Esdras' dialogue when you save him and in the Mea Culpa chapel🤔

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

Are there any Esdrasheads in the Blasphemous fandom wondering what happened to Esdras post-Blasphemous???

(Spoilers underneath!!)

Like playing Blasphemous II I was both shocked (no pun intended and a bit saddened) we didn't get an altarpiece for Esdras or even any lore text hints in the two prayers associated with him. The only mention we see of Esdras is in Ending A with the Golden Canvas and that's it. Hell not even the Mea Culpa dlc shined any light on his fate. (I refuse to believe that he lived a happy peaceful life post Blasphemous, especially with Eviterno and the Archconfraternity entering the picture. He absolutely got offed😭)

Additionally there's the mention of the Brotherhood of the Crimson Dusk from the board game who are dressed similarly to the Anointed Legion, and we're wondering what their deal is!

What happened to Esdras???

[aconite-besiaka]

my time.... has come.....

okay so tw suicide mention sorry BUT

actually my own theory/headcanon was that, if to think logically, he

1) right, did not most likely live a peaceful life after all of b1

2) died, like, young? at least I am inclined to think so, judging by the appearance of the souls of other characters in the good ending of b2

3) did not, being honest, have a reason to live: his sister is dead, he fled the legion, and there is some insane shitfuckery afterwards the ending of b1 and (I, at least) nobody knows much about it

so my own headcanon had been that he like. jumped off the bridge of the three cavalries.

but if to think in general I am truly interested in his lore as well, but we literally have more perpetva lore than we have esdras lore.

and do not get me started on diosdado I think even the devs themselves had forgotten about his existence. unrelated but translating diosdado's name into my native language would get an existing name which is "bogdan". and it sounds funny.

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

@aconite-besiaka You absolutely cooked, specifically my heart 😭.

(CW: Discussion of Suicide)

Honestly the whole idea that he did that is upsettingly possible given my theory that Esdras was suicidal (especially if you theorize he actually fought the Penitent One to end his own life.) I like to hope/theorize what had happened was he continued to live on but inevitably died fighting back against the Archconfraternity, but the idea he ended his own life is sadly very possible.

When thinking about everything he's lost: his sister Perpetva (and his mother, father, and home in my personal headcanons 😭), the Penitent One, and possibly even a future outside of the church, it makes him doing that feel plausible.

With that being said, a part of me hopes if he did in fact die post Blasphemous, maybe the newest dlc will bring him back or at least mention him (and Diosdado as well! He was just as important and I'm praying he wasn't entirely forgotten 💔). What gets me hopeful is honestly some of the stuff we've seen in Blasphemous II, that being the chapel at Santa Vigilia which eerily resembles the Mea Culpa chapel (now with crimson bandages like Esdras' armor) and the whole thing with the Brotherhood of the Crimson Dusk (who could be affiliated with Esdras and the Anointed Legion given their armor🤔)

Tried to emulate the Vampire Survivors Ode to Castlevania artstyle in this one! Here's to hoping Aeon will make it in to Ode to Castlevania!🤍 Happy Friday the 13th!

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

Alright new WIP based off some recent revelations! Not gonna hold my breath but at the same time not gonna lose hope.

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

New piece is a sequel/companion piece to one I made after my playthrough for the Mea Culpa DLC for Blasphemous II! Ending C still bums the hell out of me😭.

Both pieces were titled and inspired by songs from Woodkid (I Love You/The Shore), which equally devastated me when applying them to the Penitent One and Esdras😭💔

(CW: Suicidal Ideation in the first one)

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

W.I.P. for a Blasphemous piece!!! I feel like they're the type where one would sacrifice himself to suffer a thousand years of pain and loneliness to make sure the other never has to experience that ever again 🥲

[hellscapechrysanthemum]

The Infinite Corridor's human vessel for when he's feeling in the mood to indulge some infinite curiosity! Also enjoys scaring Adventure Lady in this form.

(Tried to incorporate hourglass elements into Netflixvania Aeon's design! Also had to make his suit more minimalist given his classic look would sadly be too complicated for 2D animation 😭. Also gave him visually similar facial features to Drolta's Carriage Driver due to my headcanon he's Aeon in disguise in the show.)
