beauty like a wound that never heals / beauty's bitter truth is never real

gave him what i had, what he thought he wanteds / all my wounds are gone with his ghost, but i'm haunted

angst to match my real life angst that marks the ending of a 8-year-old relationship :') god i sure am happy i have a star stable online au to write or else i might be dead

(nicole's codename in dc files is demeter, jay's is apollo. so naturally i wanted to do some art inspired by that)

rain on a steel roof leaks through the ceiling

but i cling to my seat

back on my regularly scheduled bullshit which is yumeshipping an oc with a star stable villain. i love them so so dearly i cannot even describe. <3

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

i haven't drawn in a bit bc of health stuff but

i got @thebestbobaflavour into my au and now it's OUR au. anyway here are our fate-doomed idiots nicole and bambi and they're the most unconventional best friends ever

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

what then if we are cruel and unforgiving? from the cradle we've been subject to horrors unspeakable, and now our only outlet for the pain is each other; but at least we'll leave behind only our own dead selves.

so sick so sick so sick so sick about them

(got this from my best friend thank you)

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

enough Eldritch horse horrors for these two. smooch time :)

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

jay's ref is here (at very fucking last)

alighiero was supposed to be a placeholder last name until i figure out something else (plot twist i never did) because around the time i got into writing darkstar!au, i also bought a special edition of dante's inferno. so now it's canon ig

i hope you enjoy my baby be kind to them

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

i'll stop spamming the same art NOW but i just wanted to post these together because they look stunning to me in matching oufits... ouhhoughough

[onwardpasserine]

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

tansy symbolizes perseverance, immortality, the deathlessness of love, but it is also a foreword for destruction: we are at war, i am your war.

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

this piece is growing on me ngl. may bc bc i have a deep love for them. they should be kissing more often instead of being on opposite sides of war

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

working on nicole's ref. wondering if i should make a post-story form (however spoiler-y that'd be) also should i make a reference for darkstar!jay?? they aren't my oc but it sure feels like that sometimes

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

Dw guys . The only discomfort Nicole is facing is her own bisexuality . They had a fight last night in Tomodachi life ❤️❤️❤️

between a crucifix and the hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt

(something something let's stay in the dying mind of an ancient space monster that mimics the long-lost homeland of our souls together because we couldn't outrun the black hand of fate)

back on my regularly scheduled jay x katja bullshit

lore under the cut!

sooo glamour no 5 in darkstar au is basically a big scheme by dark core to shadow the disappearance of anne (i think this is where she is kidnapped and held as a prisoner in pandoria). it is a big fashion event and it is far more important and restricted than it was in ssl (a school event basically) and people around the world gather there. derek is used to manipulate anne into believing darko that going to pandoria alone is a good idea etc etc leading into her betrayal

dc and ged are incredibly talented at organizing grand events that cover for their dirty work (disappearances, theft, the list goes on) and of course the dark riders are at the center of it. both jay and katja are models (bc i just remembered katja literally appears in the poster of glamour no 5 in ssl) and they are a cunty ass couple together 💅

undoom my yuri right now

[drones-and-jorvikberries]

acerbus and morrigan, jay and nicole's soul steeds :3 (tw, below will be mentions of abuse)

acerbus is a marwari horse and morrigan is very much based on fell ponies!

back before i even started planning on darkstar au and what it might include, i was in love with galloper's horse morrigan—i have both versions of her stabled and i was ensnared by the sadness and tragedy of her and galloper's story. ever since the halloween events began showing up i started dreaming of having morrigan be somehow connected to nicole and NOW i get to be self-indulgent and have her be nicole's soul companion mwahaha

so lore time!

morrigan was born in the wrong time and age, possibly summoned into existence by the very early druids (they did not know what they were doing and what would the consequences of it be). morrigan is described as not having a 'hint of aideen' in her which is directly connected to there being an absence of aideen (and soul riders too) during her generation, and since she herself was deeply tied to darkstarian spirits and pandoria the absence of a 'completing' force was more evident in her than any other.

so morrigan was a lone soul. in my headcanon she was killed and reborn a thousand time during the years (thus scars) and became aggressive and withdrawn in spirit and body. the latest reincarnation of morrigan happened during catherine's era (i hc morrigan was also catherine's soul steed! but catherine was a headstrong and a fiery girl and didn't always understand morrigan's limits due to her past abuse, which is why their relationship wasn't the *best* exactly, even if they did fulfill one another's bond.)

instead of morrigan dying during catherine's era, catherine died in pandoria and morrigan was captured by dc. dosing her with serums and her time in pandoria gave her an unusually long life (so when nicole finds her, she will be old for a horse)

i think there will be a part of darkstar au where both nicole and morrigan together are forced to face the trauma of their past. they're a very bittersweet 'the sadness in me recognizes the sadness in you'- type of a soul bond. nicole cannot ride well, and morrigan, due her injuries, cannot be ridden, and i think that was an unintentional yet very intentional shift of fate. in fact, their personalities are very similar too. withdrawn, aloof, snapping back if pushed, quiet, in need of their own space. a cosmic, ageless sorrow incarnate if you don't mind

and acerbus is from jay's adoptive family (they breed marwari horses) so jay's known him since childhood. acerbus' much like his owner, flashy, courageous, yet flighty should the situation arise. and morrigan cannot STAND his fabulous ass
