The mackerel were early, and so the fishermen came out early with them. Zhenya watched them from far away in his hiding spot as the boats rocked gently with the waves and the men worked under the bright midday sun. They shucked their shirts off despite the chill in the air, and Zhenya watched in fascination as their skin glimmered white with sweat, almost as bright as the mackerel they pulled from the water—almost.
My spook fest submission this year for @sainthockey feat. Russian folklore, reincarnation, historical references and witchcraft. Rated E. I really enjoyed coming up with the story and the art and had a lot of fun working on it!

Dear Sid,
Thank you for your telegram, it’s been a long winter without you. I know it’s still cold where you are this time of year. I ventured into town today, to a pub squished between two buildings that seem to be trying to bury it. You would have loved it.
My submission for spookfest Not Dark Yet for @goodnightpuckbunny ! It was a treat to work on.
Where Sid is the light in the lighthouse and Geno is the shape-shifting kelpie that’s ready to put a ring on it. A ring he found at the bottom of the ocean, specifically.
On Coming Back to Life Spook Fest submission for @doubleminorforroughing
Sid is a faerie that’s been trapped in a spooky haunted tree and Geno is the adventure-seeking witch that likes to take on special magical cases in every town he travels to. Obviously, the fall in love~
(Happy October everyone~! In celebration of it almost being Halloween, I decided that Artsy and all of Jollywood is gonna be celebrating “Spook Fest”~! What is that you may ask? Well, ask Artsy and find out~)
Its me again friend! So sorry for the misconvenience, somehow couldnt find your answer on the blog- But that seems very interesting! Im happy to have made you think. So varus? That brings another question in mind. With pallas' ties to runeterra, who would he be most likely to interact with? What characters is he familiar with or has bonds to? And maybe even a love interest~?
// Hello there, friend! Don’t worry about that! :) Gosh I was so excited to reply to this ever since I got a notification for it, but was way too exhausted to do so.
and YES.... VARUS :^) Oh Dear Spook Friend, let me introduce you to the world of the best bois. :3c So yeah, since Pallas is based on Varus’s old lore, so of course he’d know him. They got introduced when Varus became the Warden of The Temple, but if I’ll ave to put it veeery simply - loooots of stuff happened and they realised that they are feeling stuff with each other. Me and @ask-arclight-varus have built such an amazing relationship between Pallas and Varus (in countless AUs too!) and I’m literally just living for them. So there you have the love interest.
When it comes to other champions, since he’s immortal and had traveled a lot through the years, Pally must’ve met many of them, especially the immortal/undead ones. I can’t really talk about any “official” bonds, cause I don’t really have Tumblr buds to establish majority of those relationships with, so I’ll just share some headcanons.
First of all, I believe he’d have a really good relationship with Evelynn. Both of them are demons, Eve is a succubus and Pallas’s mother was one so he has that blood in him. I’ve imagined that since his mom didn’t really care, Eve was the one who kind of helped Pally to discover and master that side of his abilities. Plus they would just get along, acting like sassy besties, judging mortals and betting who can seduce more of them with the least effort or something.xddd Just a side note, only after one of the Eve blogs approached me a long time ago and I’ve read through their pages, I’ve realised how similar they are on certain aspects. Like it’s sort of funny cause I didn’t take any inspiration from her character.
Similar thing would go to Nocturne maybe. He doesn’t seem to be very friendly spook, but I think they’d get along or at least have mutual respect.
Speaking of it - Kindred. I really want to find a Kindred blog who’d want to write with me cause I dunno.. Kindred is probably one of the very few creatures that Pallas truly respects. I always imagined them showing themselves to him after, I dunno he had killed too many or had claimed a soul of someone that he shouldn’t have yet. Maybe they’d have some sort of a “deal” about the souls.
Thresh too maybe. Like... he’d know or would’ve at least have been in contact with majority of the immortals/undead/creatures/other who are interested in souls in any way. And not only, like I’ve mentioned before he’d have lots of acquaintances between immortals/undead. For some reason always thought that the other demons wouldn’t really like him (except from some, like Eve).
The Darkins are interesting too. Pallas had definitely interacted with them, likely even wih those that we know are currently dead. Yet I have a feeling they: a) wouldn’t remember him; b) he was more like observing from the side, no actual interaction; c) was somehow involved in the darkin war thingy ??? I don’t know really. Plus I still don’t know how to feel about the darkin Varus, cause if we compare the old and the new lore, Pallas is basically what the darkin (before binding to Val and Kai) is in the new lore.
Another Important aspect in his story are the Ionian Elders. We don’t have any old ones, who are responsible for Pallas’s imprisonment in the game, but he still feels lite he wants revenge against them even tho it’s a new generation (soooo.. Karma? Or I dunno, maybe I’m mixing stuff up about her). Plus he has to hide from them, and probably Kinkou Order, cause Shen has that shmancy Soul Sword.
You see his relationships with champs or side characters are mostly either based on alliance and/or mutual respect or they’re like “whoops I wasn’t careful enough and now they’re hunting me”. So just cause he got too lazy to hide the body properly he’d stir up things e.g. in Demacia, so it would lead him to meeting champs that we know. Only Varus has a specific, unique “canon” relationship with him. Ok, I think this reply is getting too long, but yeah.. In the end of the day - it’s rp. I didn’t even expect to interact with some characters, but later it turned out to be lots of fun and work out really well. E.g. never even imagined how can Pallas and Ekko be related, but rp showed me that it can lead to some very amusing and sweet stuff. So there’s that and thank you for the question!
