Weird question but do you have any more outlast trials art 👀

Hi Anon!! I only have a limited amount of outlast art so far but i’m sure there’s more to come (:

Here’s everything i’ve made thus far, with my OC jaime maddox and his girlfriend elaine 🖤

Remember that you are loved.

No matter where you are, no matter how alone you feel, you have someone, somewhere, who believes in you, and cares for you. Even if perhaps you have not met them yet, they are out there.

Make this a year of reaching out. Of connections. Of necessary endings and new beginnings. Of reconnections with those you may have forgotten. You deserve love, to love others and yourself. To love friends, family, partners.

And even if you cannot do any of that, you are still loved in this space as well. The brothers, the royals, the angels, and the sorcerer, they all love you — you are always welcomed in their arms when you need the pillar to lean on until you feel strong enough to do what you need to.

2022 is coming to a close, and 2023 will be another chapter we begin. No matter how you're going in to the new year, just remember:

Everyone in the Devildom is cheering you on, Y/N. You got this. We believe in you. ♥

Trick or Treat! -@antimony-medusa

This is my dog Blade (Named after Technoblade, yes<3) and he was my best friend. He recently came to visit us from the afterlife and played with his siblings at home, had his favorite meal and made us company for a day. Let me tell you about día de los muertos or day of the death.

TLDR: One of many versions of the myth of day of the death, what it often means and why it's cool.

ALSO! I'm (unfortunately) not a historian. I just got mexica/aztec history, mythology and cosmovision as special interests of mine since my senior year or highschool so most of my knowledge is for classes, asking my teachers, studying for exams and researching on my own. There's a lot of myths and legends about this beautiful tradition and this is just the one I know, so if you're interested, please feel free to be curious and do the same!

Back when the Aztecs were the biggest empire in America, whenever a person died by natural causes, it was said their souls were going to travel to the Mictlán (Nahuatl for place of the death), which is similar to hell but not as such as Hell, since Mictlán is the death new home, rather than a punishment. And it too has 9 different levels with 9 different tests by the god mictlantecuhtli and his wife mictecacíhuatl (god and goddess of the place of the death, respectively) for the souls to reach eternal rest.

(This is the place where most people would go, but there's, if I remember correctly, around 3, maybe 4 afterlife places souls would go, but that's a ramble for another time.)

The very entrance of the Mictlán is a river that souls need to cross in order to get in. Here, xoloitzcuintles (xolotl means monster/weird thing and itzcuintle means dog, so literally translating it means weird dog or dog monster. As a fun fact, axolotl literally translates to water monster since it has -xolotl) would help them to get across, but only and ONLY IF souls, when alive, were kind to animals. Thus Aztecas having xoloitzcuintles as lower deities.

But the 9 trials were tough, and mictlantecuhtli didn't know what to do to motivate souls to get through all of them. So then he allowed for them to go back to the world two days a year. November 1st is the day for the children to go visit their parents and siblings. November 2nd is the adult's turn to go visit their families. Aztecs were pleased by this and started making their favorite dishes to help them recharge<3

Apparently, it was the people around 2019 who decided that it was pets' turn to come and visit us October 27th, and we all embraced it. A lot of people's first experience with grief was with pets, and I think they deserve the same treatment. Like with humans, a candle is lit to light their way home along with cempasuchil flowers to trace their path. They're all welcomed with their favorite meals, water, and in some cases toys or their favorite things when they were alive.

As a kid I never had a reason to celebrate día de muertos, but now I do. And rather than that being sad, I took the opportunities to reflect about life, death, afterlife and memories. As long as we remember them, they won't ever die. They'll always live with us, in our hearts and the happy memories we shared with them. Grief is the price to pay for loving in life, and I think every second of pain I've ever experienced, was worth the smiles my loved ones drew in my face when they could.

I encourage anyone of any nationality who feels curiosity to research and put together an ofrenda, share memories about your loved ones and remember how happy you were. Tysm for reading<3

Who's dario

Dario is a papal guard OC that I created for my canon storyline with @ardentfew . (I thought for sure I had a picrew I did for his face but I can’t find it i’ll have to draw his face later lol)

He was one of Lupo’s casual flings within his time at the Castel, all because his hubris urged him to accept a bet made with the prowler that he could beat him in a duel. Bet was either Lupo admits defeat and never returns to the Inn they brawled in (bc lupo was irritating him) or he has to service Lupo intimately for the night. Dario agreed bc bro didn’t think he could ever lose to him. (Spoilers: he lost)

Granted he’s a little “straight” ego boy, they have a lot of drama and end up dissatisfied with each other often, especially because once Malfatto takes notice, Dario taunts Mal about taking his man and it becomes another battle he wants to win merely for his ego’s sake. Lupo was his trophy since another man wanted him, plus he sorta got some feelings.

So basically, He’s Lupo’s fuck buddy and Malfatto’s distant coworker that likes it brag about his promotion over him until he started being stalked, drugged, and nearly murdered by Malfatto, for a man he really didn’t see as worth it, so he left Lupo.

I feature him lowkey in my art so if you see an annoyed papal guard, 90% chance it could be him

in regards to my artwork and style, do you guys think softer, sketchy & see through lines are more appealing

or a harder, defined and solid linework?

Just Curious:

Softer

Harder

Just a little fun tidbit, all of my interpretations of characters on this blog are rooted in my own deep hcs or with input of close people within the acrp community, so not all words are from myself and i’ll often reference other people

so that being said like, if you muse(d) one of the characters and/or have ideas and hcs please feel free to send it in and if it’s IC enough to me it will help me with ideas and interps as I go forward. I like having a community effort in building

I’m still missing a lot of character building for many characters but as for those who are completely covered for:

ACB: Malfatto, Il Lupo, Cahin, Baltasar, Verulo Gallo, Rocco Tiepolo

ACR: Seraffo, Dulcamara

AC3: Fillan & Gillian McCarthy, William de Saint Prix, Joe, Matthew, Eleanor, Caleb Garret.

ACBF: None.

I’d love hearing people’s ideas so feel free to send them in 🖤 Im biased to canon but I’ll still draw AU content too 🫶🏻
