Sloth/Belphie

~She/Her~ ~21~ I'm just another artist, but a dumbass too. Asks are open if you wanna drop by too ♡♡♡

[lazyroseart]

So because of Father's day coming up (tho still many days away) what better than to draw Morty and Bellis

Also I just wanted to draw @artistapreguissosa 's version of Mortarion cause that's my favorite Morty honestly and also did it in his more AU look too just because I can, so yeah I put the two together and now this exists lol

[lazyroseart]

Some WIPS of some Salvation's armor concept things one being more their main sets and the second being based on the four horsemen (aka dressing in similar style to their big brothers and sister lol) hopefully they all translate well to whose who as Sal prefers lighter/no armor for combat and some of them like War wear more heavy armor style.

[lazyroseart]

Hiii I think ur rlly cool ngl

Hello! I think you're really cool too I especially love the way you drew Death! Also love Vera and Alec!

[lazyroseart]

It's time!

This year at the @tes-gala Paar or better known by his alias Lazarus has came to join and represent both his family and college while dressed in fine silks, scales, and gold that represent The Serpent stone.

Oh and do be careful fellow guests Mr. Lazarus may try to make deals with you and of course don't stare too long it's dreadfully rude.

One of my warden siblings I'm still working on her older brother Innan's ref (who fun fact is romancing Morrigan). Specialization in Blood magic and Spirit Healer.

Now the question of who she's romancing? Well the answer may surprise you.

It's Husk the Darkspawn yeah the Romanceable Darkspawn that Husk

Husk of course created by the beautiful @mooreaux

[lazyroseart]

Dark West AU version of Salvation with Remembrance being a sniper rifle though Sal of course like canon is able to use their older brothers and sister's weapons as well. (Honestly just wanted to draw Sal as a cowboy lol)

Also a dumb little comic of Sal and Pale Rider... Sal has a habit of asking their eldest brother odd or dumb questions at bad times cause ya know he's the eldest, so he has to know the answer right?

Dark West AU and Pale Rider- @porkrolleggncheese

[lazyroseart]

Dead of winter so Death got a lot more free time to spend with the little ugly baby (everyone except Death thinks they're ugly) he ended up taking in. He's entertaining them with a bit of magic cause ooo sparkly lol

[lazyroseart]

A little WIP of a Darksiders picture I'm doing based on an idea/AU of what if Sal was an actual Nephilim like the other horsemen instead of being a construct of souls.. so have a young(ish) Death and baby Salvation for now until I finish it lol.

[lazyroseart]

I bring Sal content! Joined in on that shadow hand trend with Salvation (even though I did it differently than others)

Also the ref pic in case anyone wants to do it too lol

[lazyroseart]

Just gonna drop my self ship/yumeship (whatever it's called nowdays) stuff of my Kytinn sona Ar'Gia with Ermac

[lazyroseart]

Happy mother's day!

I figured it'd be the best day to introduce Fiona's beloved mother Epegandra Crynsaris. The woman who ended up mothering Fiona and her 9 siblings while helping deal with tribe affairs alongside her husband.

[lazyroseart]

Gardenia and Fem Mortarion

I don't know why Fem Mortarion, but have a sad lesbian with her wife who she thinks she doesn't deserve at all :)

[lazyroseart]

Just gonna drop this off right quick.

[lazyroseart]

I made my own Freak oc who goes by Showgirl (but prefers Signora) her shows are really hard to catch as it has a limited showing plus the allowance of specific amount of people who can come in, so first come first serve kind of thing. I based her off burlesque performers as you can tell lol.

Also one of her hidden scenes if MC somehow found a way into the cream and black tent~

[lazyroseart]

So I've finally checked out The Freak Circus.. and I fell down the rabbit hole again boys.. Ended up using a super old ass Oc to be my MC.

But here have some Pierrot with Lynn don't worry she don't mind his weirdness she finds it cute actually.

Also a picture with them and an annoying photo bomber. Both with Pierrot's writing and without.

[lazyroseart]

Happy Easter from the Death Guard Legion Mother :3

So uh. I did some pretentious analysis on why the primarchs and the emperor will never succeed, from a weird mixture of an in universe and narrative PoV:

“Why have I not asked the king about his wounds?” or how the primarchs and the thoughts behind their creation destroyed any chance the Emperor ever had of succeeding

One of my favourite book series as a child was the series “Gwydion” by Peter Schwindt. I haven’t read or even seen the books anywhere in years, but beyond creating a lifelong obsession with King Arthur and his knights, this series about a simple swineherd who becomes first a squire and then a knight at Camelot, and then discovers he’s tasked with guarding the grail also stayed in my mind because of a single sentence. “Why have I not asked the king about his wounds?” This lament is spoken by Lancelot, driven insane by the curse of the Fisher King, a curse only the young Gwydion, ignorant in the ways of nobility and knights, accidentally breaks (Gwydion: Die Macht des Graals, Schwindt, Ravensburger Verlag GmbH, 2006). In noble society, asking a man where he had received his wounds is a grave insult. Gwydion, because of his common background, does not know of this prohibition and therefore breaks the curse, a task the noble born and raised Lancelot would have never been able to fulfil.

The young swineherd is in good company here, for the story of the Fisher King is old and one often tread. Normally the one to break the spell that keeps the Fisher King – and his lands – ill and close to death is Galahad (Lancelot-Grail, Anonymous, Boydell & Brewer Ltd, 2010), or Percival (Perceval ou le Conte du Graal, de Troyes, LIVRE DE POCHE, 2004). Galahad is, as people might know, the son of Lancelot, but he himself was not raised as a noble, but instead was raised in a nunnery (Le Morte d’Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Malory, Canterbury Classics, 2025), while Percival was raised in ignorance of knights and their traditions by his mother, a thing other knights ridicule him for (though to be fair, Sir Kay, who does so, would ridicule someone for the way they sit) (The Mabinogion, Guest, Passerino Editore, 2019). As one can see, Gwydion, Galahad and Percival share a simple thing: a common background. That they might not actually be commoners is unimportant, what counts is their ignorance of “noble” matters and general demeaner.

But how does this connect in any way to the Emperor of Mankind and the primarchs, I hear my dear readers cry in agony. Well, the Emperor is the Fisher King – or at least a Fisher King type figure. The meetings Lion El’Jonson, primarch of the Dark Angels, himself the leader of a group of knights not quite unlike the Knights of the Round Table, has with “him” in a mindscape after his return to the land of the living very much harkens back to the Fisher King (The Lion: Son of the Forest, Brooks, Black Library, 2023) and herein, the king that is fishing also consistently refers to a question the Lion doesn’t ask, or how the Lion asks the incorrect questions at all points. And while the Lion notices his wounds, he doesn’t ask after them. This points to the same circumstance that Lancelot’s incapability of asking after the Fisher King’s wounds points to. The Lion is a noble, raised in noble ways, despite the wilderness of his youth. He, like all the primarchs, is the son of the Emperor, and as such won’t fall for the “trap” of asking a question not fit to be asked by an Emperor’s son. But if the question is not asked, the lands of the Fisher King will never be put in order.

And this is the mistake the Emperor made. All of his creations show the desire to create an upper crust that won’t allow swineherds in. He has the primarchs, his little kings and conquerors, heirs to his realm, that never really could see past the “but I should be king” so inherent to the sons of Great Men (False Gods, McNeill, Black Library, 2016), the same kind of petulant infighting between potential heirs that stopped “great empires” from continuing before, one just has to look at Alexander (Plutarchs’s Lives, The Complete 48 Biographies, Plutarch, Engage Classics, 2020) or Charlemagne (The Carolingian World, Marios/Matthew, Cambridge University Press, 2011). He has the Astartes, who see themselves either as better than the “masses” or view them with a sort of inherent paternalism that stops even the kindest of them to truly take them seriously (one of many examples: Rynn’s World, Parker, Black Library, 2010) and the Custodes, superior philosopher warriors who view themselves as apart from the Imperium, that they view with amused curiosity or detached disgust for the most part (Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor’s Legion, Wraight, Black Library, 2017; The Gate of Bones, Clark, Black Library, 2021).

But why are swineherds so important? Why do I consider an Empire that is ruled by an upper class of little warrior kings and conquerors to be inherently unable to defeat Chaos?

Because Chaos is a thing of emotions and faith. We believe in the stories of the Little Man who Defeats Evil because it is so culturally engrained in humans. We inherently cheer more for the Percivals of the world than we do the Sir Kays. And to add proof to my musings: there is a man who hurt Nurgle. A man who went to Nurgle’s Gardens twice and directly injured the god himself, not just his representatives. This man was a simple doctor before his faith in his god made him a warrior (Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden, Reynolds, Black Library, 2017). And then of course there is the two gods that helped lock Slaanesh away – two elves who weren’t always gods, and weren’t always important, but who grew up in a simple house with a father who never lighted the fires and one of whom was so desperately sick that he never knew whether he’d wake up in the mornings (Blood of Aenarion, King, Black Library, 2011).

What the Emperor did with his creation of his artificial princes, and lords, and philosopher warriors, is to rob the world of the natural heroes that stand against the fate the Gods determine for their worlds. He took away the choice to stand tall that makes great men great. Garradan of Demesnus might be a warrior of Sigmar now, but he only became one because this simple doctor chose to stand and fight the hordes of chaos in an act of bravery he knew was futile (Ghosts of Demesnus, Reynolds, Black Library, 2018). It was a mistake to take away the Astartes’ fear, because only by overcoming fear can we truly become heroes that stand in the face of darkness. “Pain and fear are important tools for survival. A good soldier should be able to overcome them, but they must be there” (Once Upon a Time (In Space), The Mechanisms, Independent, 2012) after all. The primarchs will never be Elric of Melniboné, opposing and defeating Chaos (Stormbringer: The Elric Saga Part 2 (Volume 2), Moorcock, S&S/Saga Press, 2022) because unlike Elric they were never forced to overcome their nature to become heroes. They were artificially created as heroes with no input from themselves, and thus will never reach the heights of true heroism needed to strike back at Chaos.

And therefore, none of them will ever gain the heroic humility to truly ask the Emperor after his wounds, and his realms will never be put into order.

Ohhhh this is good. This is so good. I need to think about this. This is so, so good.

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

ok. I’m starting to gather my thoughts here. @e3n-ethan are you familiar with the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons?
