↳ GOD OF THE GAPS Sleep Token x Fem!Reader

You wake in a world of dead gods, with no name and no past. You are pulled into a family not bound by blood, but by devotion. They are vessels of Sleep and they see something in you that keeps you alive. As you are kept within their crumbling world of rituals and whispers, their strange affection begins to warp you. What starts as fear turns into obsession, each of them pulling at something different inside you. The lines between love, worship, and possession blur. Their hands become your home, their violence your doctrine. And as each bond frays the edges of your mind, you start to forget you were ever anything but theirs.

“Well I believe, Somewhere in the past, Something was between, You and I, My Dear”

I’m finally finished with this piece for @betweenstorms God of the Gaps fan-fic(which is only getting better with each chapter!). It’s the most complicated thing I’ve ever painted. I had to use my own hands for reference, I’m lucky I’ve got long fingers 😬

Hope you like it, Stormy!

BETWEEN STORMS | Animation Short Film 2018

Hey Guys ! Those lasts weeks I was not very active on Tumblr, because I made a short (really short) animation film with the amazing @katcrunch \o/ !! He drew all the pretty background with the help of Yanna Shen. ANND we got the fabulllouus participation of the awesome compositor Louis Chenu and the bright Sound Designer Rudy Duro !! 

I worked on the Storyboard, the animations and the compositing on Ae :) 

(Go check their work)

It’s short but we hope you will enjoy every seconds of this little film made with love and sweat <3 ! 

Byyyye and see you soon for more adventures ! Kiss

Now that it’s confirmed(?) there is going to be a sequel to GOTG, can we get an idea of what it’s going to be about? Or the title?

Of course! This story is literally my obsession, so I’m always more than happy to talk about it. It’s basically my baby. I already talk about it nonstop to my partner, so honestly I’m very glad to share all my thoughts with you guys instead of driving him insane.

The sequel is going to be called Look To Windward, and I have some pretty big plans for it. LTW will lean more into adventure fantasy rather than dark fantasy this time. I still want to keep the dark romance and psychological horror elements and weave them into the narrative, but overall the sequel will focus much more on adventure and romance.

I absolutely adore the high fantasy atmosphere of The Lord of the Rings, and my dream would be to create a world that feels even a tiny bit of a fraction as immersive, alive, and breathtaking as Tolkien’s. Obviously that’s an impossible standard, but he’s one of my biggest literary idols so… you know the saying: shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Or something like that. So yeah… I’m basically aiming for the fucking Sun, lmao. Realistically, I know I probably won’t manage to do half the things I’m planning, especially with work taking up so much of my time now.

But we’ll see how far I can get.

Another thing I’m planning is creating a proper book-style format for GOTG, if people are interested. I got a few messages saying that AO3’s downloaded version isn’t the most comfortable for reading, either on paper or on an e-reader, so my next big project is to format the story into something that looks more like an actual book layout (like the examples below). That will probably be another huge project for me, but like I said… I have big plans for both GOTG and LTW.

And honestly, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone’s support. Without all the enthusiasm, comments, and kind messages, I don’t think I would have written nearly this much. You guys really carried me through a very difficult time when I was unemployed, and that means more to me than I can properly explain. So right now I’m just feeling happy, grateful, and a little bit ambitious. We’ll see where the rest of the journey takes us.

↳ LOOK TO WINDWARD Sleep Token x Fem!Reader Sequel to God Of The Gaps

Free at last from Sleep’s curse, V wants only one thing, a long and peaceful life with the vessels she loves. But while she was gone, Arcadia changed. A false god, the Feathered Host, is rising, and the old balance of the realm is beginning to break, threatening to destroy everything left of the Seven Old Gods. Now returned to Arcadia as a goddess herself, V is forced into a new war. To save her lovers once again, she must learn to wield the dangerous magic within her, defy death, and stand against kings, armies, and fate itself. But as her power grows, so does the fear that divinity may consume her before she can save anyone at all.

Who are your favorite sleep token fics authors or fics? I trust your taste!

Thank you so much for the faith! :)

My all time favourite ST fanfic is The Fate of the Fallen by Songmagick2112. I’m honestly not exaggerating when I say I started writing GOTG because of that story, it fully pulled me into the best fusion ever, Sleep Token and fantasy. The story and the characters are so adorable, and if you love GOTG, you’ll definitely enjoy this one too. There’s even a little continuation called Carve Me Out a Home, which I also highly recommend. It’s adventurous, emotional, and just really lovely.

Another one I adore is Alpha & Omega by darklydeliciousdesires. It’s sexy, fun, and dangerous, I mean, if you’re into hot vampire vibes, this one’s for you. You can read it on AO3 or Tumblr, and the author is genuinely such a sweetheart and really funny too, so it’s an easy recommendation from me.

I also read Just Like the Rain by Summer_Rusalka not too long ago. It hasn’t been updated in a while, sadly, but the idea and execution are really strong, and it’s still absolutely worth reading. Vessel is adorable in that one, and I loved the mystery around it. And yesterday I read Take by maria_rafaelscu, which I really enjoyed too, I loved the sentiment behind it, and III is phenomenal in that one. And if you’re craving something more realistic, I highly recommend Nocturne by Spectral_Evidence. It’s a proper, tender love story with Vessel. I read it when I was feeling a bit down and it instantly lifted my mood, hehe.

PLEASE recommend me some fics as well, I’m genuinely craving something good to read, so don’t hold back! Thank you so much :)

I love that after the Drumeo interview it became so clear that II is not just some dude from the streets, but such an intelligent and well-spoken man.

Yes, hearing him speak honestly felt like some kind of transcendent experience, swear down. I also love that people who’ve worked with him describe him as a yapper, it’s such a funny contrast. And oh my god, he looked so cute after one of the recent drum shows during the group photo, like a lost puppy, not knowing what to do with his hands or where to stand. It was painfully sweet. I really love how both Vessel and II seem like introverts, but in such different ways. Obviously we don’t actually know them, but that’s just how it comes across, the same energy, expressed so differently, and it’s honestly fascinating and also so adorable :)
