BOO FANTASY AU B BE UPON YE

Gonna be 100% honest this was inspired by @parkie-parkie's fantasy au but uh shhhhh-

....You know what to expect, rambles below X'D

Okay so first off, when brainstorming ideas of what to do for B, I actually thought of B being a satyr at first, purely just cause of vibes (and i like drawing em), which I did doodle a bit as seen below-

And like- that CAN work technically...I think if anything this is B if he was in a strictly D&D fantasy kinda world, since satyrs are a species you can play (and if you're wondering his class would be Monk, subclass: Way of the Astral Self cause lore ohoho-)

But then, I kid you not, as I was starting to fall asleep that day, I was thinking "yeah satyr's fun, but I wish I can find something that fits B's whole eye asthetic, like maybe I can go for a more monster thing like- HOLY SHIT FUCKING MEDUSA-"

And, well, here we are XD

SO- SOME LORE THINGS-

Forgor how exactly it works in Parkie's AU, but for mine, this takes place WAY after ISWM when B's trying to recover from THAT whole experience in the Van, but next time he wakes up...boom, in a forest with a snake attached to his head...so like anything else in this reality he accepts it, "guess we doing D&D now", and trecks through to see what kinda bullshit Actor's got for him.

Thanks to being a D&D nerd, he's a bit more comfortable in this reality, so he gives himself the role of being a traveling merchant, mainly to investigate more of the fantasy world and get some coin to get by, even if half the stuff he sells is bullshit scam stuff. Guess you can call him a......snake oil salesman? :P

OH and speaking of snake, he's technically half-gorgon, so while he has human legs and mostly human hair/traits, he has scales in random places (mainly growing up top), a snake tail, sharp claws (cause i say so >:c), fangs and tongue, pointed ears, only ONE snake attached to his head (tho tbh i may change it to be 3 later on we'll see), and only ONE of his eyes can turn people to stone. Which, of course, is his right one, so he covers that with a blue cloth he found besides him when he woke up there.

And speaking of his stone abilties, just thought of (Like i kid ya not i JUST thought of this while typing this post so I haven't drawn it yet f u c k) that whenever he DOES use the gorgon eye, it does turn people to stone if they make eye contac, but it also starts to turn his left arm to stone as well (following along the scales), Actor's way reminding of what happened in ISWM, so he uses it sparingly lest his arm falls off again.

AND FINALLY with the snake head, while initially it just seems like a normal, albeit peaceful snake attached to him, at random times the snake suddenly gains consciousness of the 3 mains due to some reality breaking stuff I dunno i didn't write this (<-wrote this). While this happens, Actor shows up just to taunt B, also trying to get him to use his stone abilities more, Wilford pops in just for some fun, literally just cause he likes the new experience of being snek, and Damien to offer comfort in a difficult time, being hard for him to show up normally, so...if it means turning into a snake to meet with an old friend, so be it.

.....jesus I swear every post I make bout B the lore rambles get longer and longer hhhHHHH-

But yeah hope ya enjoy the impromptu doodles, still busy as hell with school mainly, REALLY wanna do a rendered piece soon but we'll see how that goes, for now might doodle more of this fantasy AU since I did kinda cook on his design i fear, so if you'll excuse me i'll be back to essay hell hhhHHHH-

It's not that I don't like Edwin and the Cat King, I think the Cat King has potential, but my brain is more wired to see storytelling as a craft (which isn't me saying different ways of experiencing a character or story is less than, please know that). So I see the Cat King and know exactly what his purpose is within the story and he hardly breaks out of that purpose when he's in a scene with Edwin. He's not standing on his own yet, essentially. That's also why I loved his scenes with Edwin in the forest— they're pissed off at each other, sure, but it feels like genuine moments between two individuals. Not a moment between a main character and a literary device. Does that make sense?

Which also leads me to say that this explains why Edwin and Charles have such a strong hold over me. Their love is the beating heart (heh) of the story.

Accidentally set myself up for a dating gauntlet weekend (3 dates back to back no day off) and I have nobody but myself to blame for this but I'm exhausted and I only just finished the first date 😵‍💫😭

i'm halfway through rewriting and editing crimson desire part 2. i sincerely hope it won't be a bore since it reads like a little novella and will be part of a longer story as the rest of the parts come along 🥹 i let myself get descriptive and i love the details too much to cut them down.

And Graydon... I want you.
