something seems to have blown into the forest… specifically, into that of the ruins of a dead kingdom from a distant time long past…
into the debris of what was once a capital to scholars who wished to learn to cast enchantments… where now the shadows lurk and cast judgement upon those who venture.
how very unfortunate, for the poor lost soul to fall into the claws of such a vengeful poltergeist such as her… to have come to her domain…
well, at least it will be put to use instead of simply going to waste. Though, she likely does not have good intentions behind how she will plan to make use of it.
“It’s best to be weary of the ruler of Subcon, for she is far from a merciful guardian of these woods. She does not take kindly to those who stumble upon her territory, so do tread carefully... as it would be smart to choose to not face her wrath upon your path.“
(Quoted line from the “Subcon Rhyme”, a folk song which had popularized the stories of the Subcon Spirit.)
A malevolent being so filled with rage…
Where exactly did she ever come from? Who angered her so cause such pain and destruction? Was such a monster born or created? It seems that may be a secret lost to history now, the truth being kept to grave of those who dared enter…
“Many speculate on how the Subcon Specter had come to be… some think it’s the vengeful spirit of the kingdom’s queen, enacting vengeance to those who dare enter in order to protect the souls of her people, some theorize that it was an ancient demon that had been sealed for years up until the downfall of the kingdom, now being freed from it’s prison… though, what is fact and what is fiction is forever up for debate..”
(Quoted from an article made on an anonymous blog, which specializes on paranormal activity.)

Haha, oops, been thinking about her lore again-
Will I do more cryptic writing stuff with her? While I can’t promise much, I definitely do wish to revisit the story I’ve cooked up for her, so.. maybe? If folks are still interested, that is-
So, I’ve redrawn an old redraw of mine from all the way back to 2020 to see how much I’ve grown and well, I certainly say my art has definitely improved greatly in the past two years haha whoops-
Oh! For those wondering how the older two looked, here they are, first being from 2020 while the other is from around 2018 to like maybe 2019-ish
“IN FACT, I ACTUALLY RECENTLY FOUND A HANDHELD DEVICE NOT LONG AGO FROM A BODY!”
“ACTUALLY, IT HAD THIS FUN THING ON IT ABOUT BEING A LAWYER! IT WAS REALLY COOL!!”
“I THINK IT WAS TITLED SOMETHING LIKE.. ATTORNEY OF SPADES? NO, NO THAT DOESN’T SOUND RIGHT… BUT WHATEVER IT’S CALLED, I’VE BEEN ENJOYING IT WHENEVER I HAVE ANY FREE TIME!”
“THOUGH, MATCHER OR THE OTHERS DON’T SEEM TO BE AS FASCINATED AS I AM ABOUT IT..”
