The Devil's Den

Sideblog focused on my KHR content! Finally took courage to create a sideblog for all of my stuff hehehe Mostly OCxCanon/Yume stuff along with some stuff shared with my moots. Welcome to my other madhouse!

[novanacloud]

Jumped on the bandwagon and played around with this pixel converter!

Now Veronna's tale looks like a creepy visual novel, hehe ~

[novanacloud]

"I haven't danced in a while... Entertain me."

Veronna Fellin - Moodboard

Because Veronna would probably say something like this, with a smile on her face even ~

Chibi made by @rabbitown! ~

"Take Everything Away." . .

Got this AMAZING video edit of PrideVanity done by my friend @lunesonthemoon, and I gave him liberty to choose vibes for the song and editing overall!

And he chose "Cendrillon" as the theme song, since I gave the Venice Carnival art! To be fair, it matched perfectly ~

Pleease give him a chance and comm this precious cat! His video edits and art are PHENOMENAL! i'm honored for having my KHR ship featured in one of your projects ;3;

[novanacloud]

Hmmm. How about 3, 6, and 10 on the Valentine Ask Game for Veronna please!

OMG, hello there! I'd love to indulge into more Veronna lore, even if the questions focus more on ship aspects! I'll do my best to answer all of them hehehe ~

Let's get started! ~

3. Flowers or Chocolates?

Honestly, both! Veronna loves gifts, especially if they're related to food! As I stated before, she becomes very bubbly around food, but that doesn't mean flowers aren't a good gift! If that's the case, black roses or morning glories are her favorites. When it comes to food, everything's valid! There's absolutely nothing that she hates. She's easily charmed by her stomach, and that comes both ways! Being with her gifting, or being pampered. Pretty much Squalo takes notes about that LMAO

But he definetly gets annoyed if Veronna takes the first step ;3;

6. Do they believe in soulmates, platonic or romantic?

Ok, now that's a tricky one! Veronna always lived a life completely carefree relationship-wise. Maybe thanks to the fact she's a natural seductress and uses that as a weapon, that concept never crossed her mind in the slightest. Plenty of people crossed her path, and wanted the Devil of Venice for themselves. But none of them could keep up with her ferocious nature, and that made her grow bored of people. If her iconic line is "No man in this world can give me what I want", there's a very good reason for that!

So, aside from leaving flirty jokes and authentic rizz, deep down, Veronna never believed in love. Everyone who met her was nothing but means to an end. Plus, judging by her line of work, talking about love can sound even a bit utopic.

That unless, if Veronna can find a worthy opponent whose equal ferocity makes him live in her mind rent-free.

10. What's the worst Valentine they can receive?

If there's no food, it'll be a disaster, I can assure you that! I think this is because Veronna is an authentic Taurus and she lives for that statement. And believe me when I say this: She eats A LOT.

But on the bright side, she doesn't exactly celebrate it? I mean, she's the type of person that would find a special spot, grab a bottle of wine, a lonely toast and she'll call it a day. Or night, since that works better XD

However, that doesn't mean all of her Valentines would be forgettable... If you know what I mean. ~

Ask meme here!

*wakes up covered in blood* i need to look at art of The Character

[seth-whumps]

character will get 10x hotter with the addition of blood btw. bonus points for disheveled hair, untucked clothing, and glazed, feverish eyes.

[novanacloud]

[~ Moonlight Waltz ~]

"She was like a bloodthirsty beast. Her path was painted crimson. And many unfortunate souls found their end thanks to her blades. For Veronna, this chase felt like it was nothing. An eternal dance with her prey, only the moonlight as a witness or her vicious nature in battle." "But tonight, the Devil of Venice will fall."

.

Long time no see with some KHR art after 84 years teehee ~

I've been having plenty of new ideas thanks to some watch parties done recently with my friends! I watched the total of one episode of the Varia arc again and I'm definetly not okay LMAO

Plus, this art depicts more how Veronna's ability works overall! I've explained before that it's directly tied to blood or how much she bleeds, but if the battlefield is also covered in blood, that means she can also use that as an advantage! Since she uses piercing weapons with a low range, that means the blood can be used as an extension for her attacks, which really comes in handy most of the time!

(As a natural weakness, if Veronna ends up bleeding too much, her body grows weak and she tends to fatigue. That ends her frenzy state as well.)

Didn't want to make a "ship art" in the beginning, but since she has a personal beef with Squalo, I couldn't resist! After all, these two tend to chase each other all the time, heh. Of course their secret meetings always end up with both fighting against each other. It's something about matching their feral vibes XD

And ofc, leaving the most unique rizz ever because she can't help herself. ~

[novanacloud]

So I'm rewatching the Varia arc with frens and now Veronna lives rent-free in my mind again smh

For Veronna 💚

POMEGRANITE - Which myth would they relate to most?

BLUSH - Who flusters them most?

Hi Fae! Hope you're doing well! This one can be a bit tricky since I do love mythology, but I'll do my best! Now, for the questions!

Ask game here!

POMEGRANITE - Which myth would they relate to most?

I like to joke around that Veronna is her own myth. The fact of her being able to take control of Venice masked by the fact she turned into some kind of urban legend from that city, terrorizing even the most dangerous folks from the Mafia due to her "monstruous" nature, sounds very myth-coded for me! However, there's something I'd love to add into it!

I really see Veronna personifying the myth of Lilith. In previous asks, I mentioned that she has a strong connection with this dark goddess, who portrays the danger, seduction of women... But most importantly... Freedom.

She hates to be controlled, anything related to submission, and lives as a free being, doing things her own way, not even caring about the consequences. In Veronna's mind, nothing is more dangerous that a powerful woman who knows how to use her wits to get what she wants. Seduction is power, but raw power has a better taste.

BLUSH - Who flusters them most?

I guess the better question would be who tends to be more flustered when it comes to authentic Italian rizz /j

But jokes aside, it's hard to see Veronna flustered. In fact, she tends to mask that feeling while making some flirting jokes, as if trying to add a spark of pettiness in her words. Not in a bad way, truly! It just happens naturally.

To be fair, that's a rare occurence. Veronna tends to feel bored pretty easily because no one can keep it up with her intense nature. However... Once you find a way to get this dangerous assassin into your charms... Prepare yourself for a daily dose of flirting sarcasm!

Why do you think of all people, she got a liking for a certain loud-mouth swordsman? LMAO

✧｡･ﾟ it’s that time of the year again were I , lalo , starts bothering you all again : What Classic fairytale could you see your oc/s being ( unfortunately ?) part of — what role would they play? ( are they the unfortunately princess in the tower? the dues ex machina fairy god mother? etc etc ) — & if there is any, is there a subversion to the ‘trope’ , did red ridding hood have a gun all along?

Oh boy, now that's a tricky one! Although, if we're talking about tales in general, I can make two variants for Veronna! One of them will follow the question but the second one is taking a more spooky route, but I'll cover them properly!

To be fair, if I could choose a classic fairytale for Veronna, my first bet would be "Beauty and the Beast". But, instead of being the maiden who turns into princess later... Oh, no no no! Things get interesting here when she is the BEAST instead!

Which makes sense to her character! Veronna lives in isolation and suffers with a magical curse, mirroring her own backstory due to the Stregheria shenanigans. Plus, there's a layer of angst as well, with an iminent death if not finding true love.

However, Veronna as Beast wouldn't have a more "polite" side at all: She'd be unhinged, wild and only acting by her instincts instead of being reasonable. There was a reason why she's isolated and it would be quick to find out the truth. Her castle would be completely ransacked, tainted by the blood of all of the unfortunate souls who crossed her path or tried to sneak into her domains. Pretty much a palace in ruins whose tales would terrify anyone who heard about it. The fact of having a bloodthirsty monster living in that place drove away even the most skilled hunters. Except one, of course.

I confess that I feel really amused seeing the role reversal shenanigans and turn Squalo into Belle. Not following the usual storyline per se, because there would be plenty of fighting and animosity. But somehow, both would feel there was more to each other than simply being predator and prey. That would be a more twisted and even dark love story who could have a melancholic outcome.

Now for the secondary storyline! (TW: Blood, massive wounds)

Ok, so this one escapes a little bit from the fairytale aspect, but dives deep into gothic/horror literature!

As you may know, Veronna has clear inspiration from Elizabeth Bathory, and pretty much I'd make something based on that story! However, there is a book called "Carmilla", which screams her aesthetic and definetly would explore even more of the witchy and gothic aspects of her character, along with the vampire vibes!

In short, Elizabeth Bathory was known as the "Bloody Countess". In life, she was a cold-blooded murderer who took the life of numerous women in order to bathe in their blood. She believed that, if doing such an unholy act, she'd maintain her youth forever. Of course, that was only a delusion of her twisted mind, and she died in utter isolation, avoiding execution due to royal titles, but condemned to stay the rest of her days locked in her own room.

And now about the book, "Carmilla". One of the first tales revolving a vampiress, after "Bram Stoker's Dracula" solidifying the myth of the vampire through literature. It brings more of the seduction aspect, and the mystery surrounding these bloodthirsty creatures who linger through the night in order to catch their prey. Needless to say, these are very strong inspirations I used while working on Veronna, along with her abilities as well!

Yes, she is vampire-coded, but hates to be compared as one. That is due to her existence being cursed - Which brings more of the Stregheria, and some pagan backstory along. The irony is, her ability triggers when SHE bleeds, instead of making others bleed. The frenzy still exists, yes. But Veronna wants to be wounded, so she can turn her own frenzy into a powerful weapon. If she gets a bit or two in the process, that's a bonus.

Plus, who wouldn't be charmed by a beautiful redhead with fangs? I'd be head over heels in an instant. XD

🦈🐦‍⬛[~ Shooting Stars~] 🐦‍⬛🦈 . .

Because secret meetings in the middle of a full-moon night are the best bet! Even if everyone already know about their affair LMAO

I was brainstorming if this could happen in the middle of the Varia Arc, but pretty much it happens after. Because of the whole tension and somehow a mutual beef, they had no choice but to see each other away from prying eyes. Maybe in that night, Veronna discovered that Squalo had another side hidden by his loud-talking. Maybe it was her turn to get charmed, I call that reverse rizz /j

And gods, the foreshadowing! Veronna calls him "captain" just as a joke, unaware that would be his title in the future, haha! I added that because I imagined how she would say it in Japanese, with her unique Venetian accent. A mix of mocking and affection, perhaps? XD

(Meanwhile Ale is losing their mind because their right-hand "escaped" again while the Varia makes bets to see if Squalo returns with bite marks pfff)

Anywho I missed these feral losers and they're the main source of my brainrot right now <3

Cute stuff for PrideVanity? Happens once in a blue moon. ~

[novanacloud]

Locked in last night because I felt like drawing chibis/stickers and since these two are the main source of my brainrot, I had to go with them! No idea why I keep doing some cute stuff for PrideVanity, but hey! At least I'm doing something! XD

Chose TYB for the chibis because I need to show that version more often, haha! Didn't think much about a cool background so flame colors it is LMAO

.

Sticker versions below!

These two look so... Cute? That's illegal LMAO

(I offer chibis like this on my Ko-fI page btw! ~)

[novanacloud]

Also, Pride month is upon us, eh? So you thought there wouldn't be something for them? SIKE

I know this joke was probably made before, but... The "SuperBI" stands for Bisexual, I don't make the rules. /j

And of course, the poly disaster herself, Veronna. As long as you can keep it up with her feral nature, and enjoy some bites in the process, you'll gain a feral lover! ~
