Aster's cottage for inkverno day three! @avernotown (a bit of a spooky take on it lol)
gods
i. in town, families kneel on worn floorboards every sunday, murmuring thousand-year prayers. they turn to idolatry on the side though, bright and bloody, monstrous in their magnificence, tasked to mask the desperation, the longing for salvation of the people of this town. they know: the gods have forsaken this town, only idols remain.
ii. the students have transformed their cathedral into a temple to the mind. there are no gods here, no unknowable mysteries, only them--fully formed and victorious. the forces unknown have been catalogued and classified, and something shoves its way through the foundations of the church, tree roots, which wreck the stability of the building.
iii. only fools believe in the existence of higher powers, and fools cannot survive in the Forest. the forces in this wood are young and vengeful and they do not care about pleas.
Inkverno day 1
the shadow mothers
bone bug
made of skull and wing, animated through reckless will. things once lost forced to a different purpose, forged of violent death--no wonder you escaped when your creator made you. after centuries buried under leaf mold and soil, who could blame you?
i think i can hear you click-click-clacking on the pavement outside my door sometimes, can hear the futile hum of wings remembering what it felt like to fly.
made of skull and wing, animated through reckless will. things once lost forced to a different purpose, forged of violent death--i cannot blame you for crying out in the night, though you have no mouth to do so. you mismatched and jigsaw creature, what is your destiny now? stuck between life and death, destruction and creation, horror and wit, there’s no room for you to breathe between extremes.
A school uniform for today's inkverno prompt! I really haven't been keeping up, also sorry this one's kinda crappy lol.
Anyway, averno probably wouldn't make uniforms mandatory but the more preppy/pretentious students (I'm looking at you dlh) would wear it anyway just for the ✨aesthetic✨
This is for yesterday's prompt, ddl! (I'm not keeping up with inktober at all lol)
