Mantis-jon design for my King in yellow AU. I have one little finished drabble for it here. Idk if I'll write anything more for it? The drabble stands on its own well enough I think. But if anyone really likes it do speak up haha.
For this design he doesn’t have eyelids except for “second” eyelids that are see through so he can emote but he can’t ever stop seeing. The top right image is with his eyes as closed as they get and with his mouth open and tongue out so you can see all his mouth-parts :)
He can vocalize with his mouth as he still has vocal chords and can also make chittering sounds with his mandibles and rasping sounds with his wings, but he can’t talk (he tries tho)
He can sometimes make single syllable sounds like “ma” for Martin or “ssssss”. He can make most vowles and some basic consonants like m/n, g/k, s/z/x, h/f/th/sh. Very mangled and bug-like though.
like its the apocalypse. like horror. like im hungry. forever hungry. starving. they're looking at me with suspicion, humor, contempt. looking at me. alone with the one I love and a world in pain. how do you feel? very sad. he laughes. how else would I explain it. the terror of a thousand voices all ringing in my ears. very sad. because at least then he smiles at me. laughes at me. I only get what hurts me most. am I in pain? asks the man being tortured past the point of sanity. I think I want it to stop. "but what if you don't, not really" says the one you love, "I saw the way you looked at it." the hunger pangs. "you wanted more." I want it to stop. I want it to end. In the end it is he who wants more than an end. "how do you feel?" the same question again, after everything, you exist in a different space now. "very sad." he laughes. "this again?" you falter. you are in pain. it hurts like it's the apocalypse. like horror. like hunger.
Hello! The page is run by a system! If you don't know what that is this is a great resource for allies of systems/plurals. Also, This is an endogenic accepting space. *Taps the sign* We accept others lived experiences here. Fakeclaiming and other bs of that type will not be tolerated.
Also, this blog occasionally contains unmarked nsfw. If it is my original art then it will always be marked, but reblogs I can give no promises on. If you don't want to see that then probably don't follow. This is also a nasty freak enjoyer space so be prepared.
Currently our system is made up of:
Elias(He/him)- Host, Elias Bouchard fictive, not very like his source at this point, Faggot /positive
Jon(he/him)- Handles emotional regulation, trauma holder, Jonathan Sims fictive, also not very like his source at this point, likes bugs :3
Vargas(he/him)- teenage angst wolf therian, very old alter, rarely fronts, named after Scriabin Vargas from that one fic (and Edgar Vargas) but not a fictive, likes wolves and foxes and emo music
Echo(they/them)- previous host, very tired void being, mostly a very chill "gatekeeper" at this point.
Sec-unit(he/it): fictive of Murderbot from the Murderbot diaries. Unsure whether he'll stick around. More male aligned than his source.
King in Yellow (He/It) - God-form of Elias. Is he just Elias 2.0 or is he separate?? Unclear. Holds all spiritual memories and is very fucking weird about religion generally. A deep desire to be worshiped. God of madness, creativity, art, and dreams. Sometimes called "king in gold" to differentiate him from the character of the same name. Sources from a number of different stories that involve the king in yellow.
Child(they/it): autism and ADHD incarnate. Yells a lot. Likes shiny things and shopping, hates medicine. A menace.
Retired alters(don't front anymore/have fused/split/gone to sleep/etc):
Batul(he/him): alter from while we still thought we were single. His primary job was to walk us between classes instead of having a meltdown. A slave who had a weird relationship with his doting mistress.
Doe(he/they/it): gender-weird--prey-trauma-creature. Had a very particular vibe that we still really like. Was the only alter Elias let take care of him. Weirdly important within our psyche despite being around for a relatively short time. Reincarnation of Batul, freed but doesn't know what to do with that freedom.
Emory(he/him): descended from Doe (has a lot of the same mental make-up, but rearranged), the body is a prison, my flesh disgusts me, wants to be a robot, cyberpunk type. Back alley cyborg doctor. Secunit is his descendant.

Thank you so much for reading!
Under the cut is a quick rundown of my commonly used tags and what they mean, mostly for my own organizational purposes but might be helpful if you're looking for something specific:
#system posting - any post that reminds us of our system in some way.
#[alter]-like - this reminds us of a particular alter and/or that alter especially liked that post and/or that's who's fronting right now. King in Yellow's name is shortened so his tag is just "king-like", sec-unit is almost always tagged without the dash so "secunit-like" is his tag.
#[alter] - for when an alter actually says something either in a post or in the tags.
#myart - should contain all my original art.
#echo's stuff - should contain all my original posts of any sort.
