Soultember 2024

Welcome to Soultember 2024

Once again it’s time to celebrate soulmates and all the trials and tribulations that come with them. As always, feel free to interpret these prompts in anyway you want! If you think it fits, do it!

First Words—exactly what it says; soulmarks are the first words your soulmate says to you. Tried and true.

The World’s Worst Soulmate—inspired by this post but write it however you want! @embermclainapologist

That Soulmate Zing!—an instantaneous and very apparent tingling or zapping sensation, like a whole new level of your nervous system is unlocked and lights up when your skin makes contact with your soulmate’s. Even the orgasms are overwhelming. Credit: @chrissihr

For Your Eyes Only—animated soul marks: only your soulmate sees your soul mark animate—bird wings in flight, wildflowers dancing on the breeze, flames flickering, bolts of electricity flashing, stars twinkling, knives whistling through the air or vibrating when they hit a target, etc. Credit: @chrissihr

Day 11 - OC / Yourself in Soul Eater

Behold my oldest Soul Eater OC Iroha.

They were the queen of witches before Maba. Since grigori souls have ridiculous powers, I figured a witch with a grigori soul would be godlike. Especially with all the witches shown having bugs or small creatures. So she was a dove witch.

In OG draft they were just a god of nature/chaos that masqueraded as Eibon. I did notice of the big 3 Kirona fics, all of us headcanoned Kid's mom as a witch. My interpretation was of a perfectionist sacrificing that perfection/divinity to give to a child who would be the next grim reaper. Like a reaper who has a balance of shinigami's order and a witch's chaotic power.

Years later I've reworked the character into transitioning into Eibon. I had had a scene with LD burning any record of Iroha's existence, erasing a dead name seemed a more in character explination why Iroha was never mentioned. Eibon and all his canoness exists, but Iroha existed as well. They are also tied to the moon and the change/growth is a part of the station of being the Allotter.

Having the 3 fates allowed me to have more flexibility with this character. Abandoning the crown in pursuit of knowledge was their madness. The longer they were around Lord Death the more their power and passion spiraled towards death and what happens to people when they die.

The Book of Eibon turned into their research into whether humans, witches, etc are inheriently good or not. And basically is a thesis they were unable to complete before they died.

I have Chrona take over the Allotter role, but continue to turn their back on the witch world.

Day 14 - Energy / Soul

AU, everyone can see each other's souls, but only from behind. This one is Liz's.

Patty and Liz never got an 'upgraded' wavelength as the series progressed. So for Liz, I went with a ram witch as the core source of her power and really leaned into the western aesthetic.

Tsubaki thinks Liz's skeletal ram form is super pretty, even though Liz is self concious of how spooky looking it is.

(Patty I keep going back and forth if she should have a horse or a mountain lion.)

Day 13 - Alternate Universe

Another fic scene, this time from Chapter 9 of the Salvage rewrite.

I the idea for their Envy forms long before any other part of the fic. Earlier in the year I post a rough colored concept, but I like this a lot more.

The vibe I was going for was super obnoxious mall couple. I think I nailed it.

Envy Black Star is standing in for the role of Death the Kid as the son of a death god and Maka is his romance obsessed weapon. They don't actually *need* a partner to be super powerful, so having one is a choice.

Day 12 - Outfit swap

A scene from Chapter 12 of WGKG (I needed an acronym the fic name is too long lol). Maka forgot to bring spare set of clothes in with her before hoping into the shower.

I tried to use white out to capture the look of damp skin. I liked how it came out on her limbs, but I wish I left her cheek alone :/
