Lux mutabilis lunae

♠️Over the Garden Wall and Into the Unknown: Salutations and welcome to my humble blog and haven! Home of an eldritch being who dreams of bread. Hope you enjoy you stay ♠️ (pfp: @ultrainfinitepit)

[theeldritchdarling]

Introductions: An eldritch being who dreams of bread

Salutations Tumblr! This is the standard introductory process I presume? Good! Before I go on about my blog and any changes, how about I introduce myself and state a bit of my business here at this fine establishment.

Name: Please refer to me as Bee, B, BB, Beerella, Beezilla, and any other bee-related puns. (Politely of course. Let us use proper netiquette when interacting with strangers shall we?)

Gender/Preferred pronouns: I am a femme/woman-aligned nonbinary individual. My personal pronouns are She/Her/Herself and They/Them/Themself. I request that those who interact on my blog refer to me with these pronouns specifically.

My business: To simply have fun and enjoy myself. This blog was created for my personal enjoyment and it will stay that way. Whatever is reblogged, posted, or created here is intended for my own enjoyment first. If others find enjoyment in what I have here that is great, but understand that I am the priority recipient of my creations. So please do not pressure or harass me for anything that I have here.

Now that that is taken care of, onto other matters:

1. Nothing will be changed here. I may one day change the layout of my blog or even its color, but no posts will be deleted.

2. Anonymous asks are turned off and will stay turned off. I am not sorry. I have noticed too many people abusing anonymous. From either being too personal or being incredibly impertinent to other Tumblr users and I will not condone nor tolerate such behavior here.

3. I am Sex Positive and Sex-Averse. Quite simply, I am a fan of tasteful artistic nudity, but not gratuitous. Please keep to yourself.

4. I do not have an opinion on shipping or fandom nonsense. I an neither a Pro or Anti and want nothing to do with either. The same goes for fandoms. As simply as I can, I recognize that any works or creators I follow can be and are flawed. I recognize the negative aspects of what I enjoy and enter into these contracts with this opinion already set and with the understanding that I still enjoy these works in spite of that. If any of what I enjoy offends others, please leave. Unless further and proper facts have been brought against these individuals or works, I have no interest in entertaining negativity.

5. The reason I can use this image is because I am the commissioner of said piece and I have contacted its creator, @ultrainfinitepit, if such action is allowed.

6. I am a Pan-Noectic Oriented Aroace. As stated previously, I have no interest in shipping, so I reiterate, please keep any shipping or fandom nonsense to a minimum while engaging with this blog. While I am not a minor, I am uncomfortable with certain topics and will use warnings and post features to censor and cover questionable posts I reblog when necessary.

This is all I can truly think of at the moment. I hope that those who come here enjoy their time and consider having a chat once in a while. Until then, Goodbye, Good Morning, and Goodnight.

After it was basically announced Mira used to be in med school, a funny thought/dumb idea for Gambit just occurred to me.

We know Baby is the smallest of the group

but imagine he's also the skinniest

you can see his ribs you know, like the outline and such

You can see when they are broken and such

but imagine you can also see them heal because their so visible

you can see the shifting under his skin, hear the popping and hissing as the final bones that didn't heal before the cool-down finally snap back together

the idea of Zoey having a minor freak-out because she touches him and actively feels a bone shift and pop under her fingertips, is too good to pass up

TBH the reaction between them all is amazing

Because on one half you have the boys and the boys are ecstatic.

Seeing and hearing this means that FINALLY after days, perhaps even almost WEEKS, Baby is finally now warm enough for his body to start once again healing properly. They've been WAITING for this, they beat the clock, now all they have to do is wait some more and see what happens

On the other half however you have the girls

Zoey is minorly freaking out but stuck between that and gross fascination because augh she FELT that

Rumi is tossed between freaked out and fascination because with her being half-demon she didn't know the extent of what her body could potentially do, so this is all a learning experience for her

Then you have Mira whose just:

Mira: I wanna touch it

everyone else: NO

Like someone I know mentioned it, tell me she wouldn't be the kind of girl that most likely wants to feel fresh stitches or stare at gnarly gashes or bruises, She thinks that shit is so cool

[theeldritchdarling]

Ji-Ahn casually dropping this gem:

“Oh Mira I have to show you my dissection pictures!”

“Your…dissection pictures?”

“Yes! When I first moved to the US, I was a flurry of unprocessed feelings. I was lost, angry, confused, relieved-all sorts of feelings I couldn’t understand. And I hated it.”

“Oh-oh. What did you do?”

“Well I definitely didn’t sit with it!😂 In all seriousness, I took action. I wanted facts and I needed them yesterday! Luckily I managed to befriend an equally queer and curious group of friends. And one of them happened to be an armature med student!”

“An amateur med student-wait. Don’t tell me. You didn’t-“

“Yup! Since there was only me, myself, and I! I volunteered to have myself dissected for science. Fully awake too!”

“Fully AWAKE?!”

“Yeah…anesthesia don’t work so great on us… In fact, most human pain killers, counter or high-grade, are too low of dosage to have an affect on us. That was a fun thing to learn while on the operating table!”

“So you volunteered to be dissected?”

“Yuh-huh!”

“And you were fully awake because pain killers have no affect on demons?”

“Absolutely!”

“All because you would rather do study than process your emotions?”

“Right as rain again firecracker! Have a good bag!”

…

…

“Can I see them?”

“Of course!”

Golden Honmoon AU - Idea One expanded

Huntr/x (~20 years later):

Kang Rumi

Age: 44 years old

Has become a complete withdrawn and Agoraphobic; only leaves for medical procedures, if she absolutely has to. Her patterns have consumed her, covering every inch of her body. Covers up constantly to prevent others from seeing them. Uses veils or masks to prevent others from seeing her face, including her children.

Has two daughters: Nu Ji-Ahn and Emily Williams (Kang Ri-Um). Ji-Ahmed is a young demon she found and raised as a hunter while Emily is her illegitimate daughter. Result of a one-night stand at a very low point in her life. Didn’t even know she was pregnant until she was in the US. Gave the baby up for adoption as she couldn’t face what she had done. Has a rather mixed and tumultuous relationship with both girls as a result.

Zoey Parker

Still part of the industry; acts as a lyricist for multiple idol groups and singers across the world. Has become more well known for her work as a lyricist than as a member of Huntr/x. Is secretly married to Mystery Saja (Saja Boys appeared after the live Golden performance) and they have twin boys. Still a bit people pleasing, but her confidence has soared because of the love people have given her songs and work. Has had the best ending compared to everyone else.

Lee Mira

Spiraled for a bit, but came back more fierce and intense. Has a successful fashion line and dance academy. Many trainee and promising idol groups go to her dance school to train. Has a harder edge to her and can be quite stern and intense. Acts a lot like her mother and doesn’t want to admit it. Hasn’t contacted Zoey or Rumi is years and wants nothing to do with them or Huntr/x.

May/may not have been killed by a hoard of demons…

[theeldritchdarling]

Gambit AU

@dukeswonderousmenagerie

Ji-Ahn and Moonassi (@dukeswonderousmenagerie oc) having a causual conversation:

“So you say we demons are simply smaller parts of primordial constructs? We, reapers as you call us, are simply the avatars that Death uses to walk the mortal plane? I must say, if your theory is correct, we demons have more power than we can ever imagine…”

“Oh! Don’t call us demons, it’s simply too simple. Too Western. Too Bad faith Christendom!”

“Oh? Pray tell, what are we?”

“We are nature, in all its forms. You cannot look at existence through good and evil. It’s inaccurate! Think of existence as itself vs entropy. The Cycle vs Nothing. Positive vs Negative. Everything works to keep existence going. Otherwise we’d have fallen to Entropy Cycles ago! We reapers are the recycling system! To oversimplify, our job is to take the energy that is “souls” and return it to the worlds! Yes, some parts can “move on” and be reborn, but most of it goes to keeping are realms flourishing and rich! It’s why the cancerous-I mean Gwi Ma was so detrimental. He upended a part of the Cycle! Yes we are only a small part, but just because you only see a small patch of mold doesn’t mean it’s small. You miss the roots that have spread everywhere! It’s why the Union Bureaucratic Department of Reapers was established, a third party was determined to be the best way to manage and ensure that interruptions to the Cycle were minimal and non threatening!”

“We are but parts of nature… And you’ve met Death you say?”

“Oh xey are such a doll! Sweet thing really. You know, xey are the reason loving things even have memory and feelings to begin with! Xey wanted all things to experience what xey do. Don’t know if you would like xem though? You would get along well with Life! Not the emotional type, quite literally the embodiment of endless consumption. Makes sense since xey are a “child” of Entropy…”

The conversation continues as everyone else has massive existential crises at the lore bomb that was casually dropped on them (and she hasn’t even gotten to how the Cycle has decided to possibly end the Dream of Mortals and might restart with the Dream of Beasts)

F. Roles:

b. Lead dancer

c. Lead rapper

d. Main singer

Backstory:

Ji-Ahn was found and raised by an older Rumi. When Rumi discovered that she had an affinity with the Honmoon, Rumi started training her to be both a hunter and idol.

Found Eun-Ji during a tryout event. Her appearance and backstory reminded Rumi of Zoey, chosing her for nostalgia reasons. Eun-Ji gets along well with Ji-Ahn (unrequited Sapphic crush) and often has to play mediator between her and Emily.

Emily found and confronted Rumi first. Figured out that Rumi was her birthmother and wanted answers as to why she was “abandoned”. Rumi couldn’t/wouldn’t give clear answers, but did notice that Emily had an affinity for the Honmoon and musical talent (wanted to be closer to her “mother”). So trained her alongside Eun-Ji and Ji-Ahn.

Emily has a chip on her shoulder, lack of stable home for most of her life and she feels that Ji-Ahn lived the life she should’ve had. Experiences cultural dysphoria because of the lack of connection she has to her Korean heritage. Gave herself a Korean name, Ri-Um (echoing truth) Kang, to try and connect with Rumi.

Rumi, unfortunately, is resistant because she had Emily at an extreme low point in her life and doesn’t want to be reminded of it.

KpDH AU: The Moon will Sing

Art by @tortillasconsal

Since it’s officially Pride Month, I’m gonna post my headcanon sexual/romantic identities for the Saja Boys/Saja Lords and Nu Ji-Ahn/Dr.OrLa. (Plus a few other characters for fun!)

(REMINDER: These are headcanons and NOT associated with the original film. This is for fun and are just my ideas. If you disagree, DNI.)

Song Jinu/Leader Saja: Demiromantic and Bisexual (Romance and Sex favorable) - Needs to know someone intimately to feel romantic inclination towards them. Was in denial for years that he liked men. Just assumed he enjoyed the act of sex and nothing more. Took hundreds of years to put 2-n-2 together. (Took him falling for Abby to realize it)

Nu Ji-Ho/Abby Saja: Homoromantic and Homosexual (Romance and Sex favorable) - Just assumed it was another way his father saw him as “wrong”. Tried multiple times to be with women (mortal and demon) but felt nothing. It was falling for Jinu that convinced him he only felt attraction towards men.

Park No-Eul/Mystery Saja: Demi AroAce (Bi) (Romance and Sex Neutral) - Similar to Jinu, he needs to build a bond before he experiences attraction. It also really just depends on who he’s doing the activity with.

Lee Jae-Hyun/Romance Saja: Biromantic and Homosexual (Romance and Sex Favorable) - Knew he was attracted to men from a young age and knew it was “wrong”. Was part of the reason for his deal with Gwi-Ma. Took him awhile to accept it wasn’t a negative aspect of himself.

Kwon Baek-Ryu/Baby Saja: Aroace (Romance Neutral and Sex Favorable) - Has known from a young age that he just doesn’t “like” people that way. Still married because it was expected of him, but he really felt nothing towards his wife. Enjoys the ACT of sex more than anything.

Nu Ji-Ahn/Dr. OrLa: Oriented Aroace (Romance Favorable and Sex averse) - Has NEVER been interested in people that way. Even with her husband, ace4ace couple, both saw each other as their platonic soulmates and partners rather than love interests.

Nathaniel “Nath” Lancaster: Alloace (Romance favorable and Sex averse) - Saw his wife as his platonic soulmate and partner. Never minded that she couldn’t experience or express the same type of love he did.

Gwi-Ma: Homoromantic and Homosexual (Romance and Sex favorable) - He saw his first wife as his best friend and platonic partner, but he wasn’t attracted to her. Mostly allows women into his harem for political reasons and rarely sleeps or visits them (Reason the highest ranked consorts are the Saja Boys/Saja Lords).

Kang Celine: Lesbian. I don’t make the rules. Had a MASSIVE unrequited crush on Miyeong for years (still does).

Zoey Parker: Panromantic and Pansexual (Romance and Sex favorable) - Easily falls in love, but easily hurt as well… Has/had crushes on both Rumi and Mira.

Lee Mira: Biromantic and Bisexual (Romance and Sex favorable) - Knew she liked both men and women from a young age. Got herself in a lot of trouble when she dated a girl in her teens. Had/has feeling for Rumi and Zoey.

Kang Rumi: Straight (on thin ice) - Has never had the opportunity to explore so really doesn’t know. Identities as straight more or less because she doesn’t know what else to call herself (lots of character exploration needed).

Let's take a look at what The Three Tomes is about for the new folks out there.

A YA queer coming of age story about a Black bi teen girl turned witch , and the the two bi vampire boys after her heart.

I grew up in the Midwest . My teen years were the 2010s and I never saw myself in the teen media that I consumed. Twilight , Buffy , Hunger games , the magic series by the terf who shall not be named ... It was all fun back then sure, but I never noticed til I got older that characters who looked like me were rarely centered in adventure fantasy stories . Black people may have been present but weren't prominent...got sidelined ....died ..... Or were the disposable black girlfriend/boyfriend/partner.

Flash forward to me working in animation for nearly 10 years now.... I see Cancellations of shows , so many that are black , brown and queer, mergers, AI, the hostility to our people and marginalized people as a whole in this political climate , and the desire to create being trampled on.

I said y'know what ....I want to make something for me. For the me that would have wanted this when I was younger ...as a queer black femme person ...I wanted to make something that reflected the stories I loved but never saw myself in .

Black folks can be whimsical , magical , witches , vampires , mermaids , dwarves ...anything. We belong in these stories and deserve Black joy . Especially now.

You can watch Episode 1 on YouTube and I hope of it catches your fancy , you support me once I launch the Kickstarter for episode 2 next month. Thank you, truly - Bre

Coming soon: The Three Tomes: Episode 2 - A Vampire Romantasy Animatic

A queer YA coming-of-age story about a black teen witch girl in the 2010s, fighting monsters and falling in love with vampires.

Golden Honmoon AU -Idea One

Rumi is SUFFERING in this AU.

(Reference art by @nachomolinaart on instagram)

Her patterns become erratic and consumed her, similar to the reference art. She covers up constantly, choosing to where a veil to hide her face. My headcanon for demons, at least those that were once human, the more monstrous/demonic they look is dependent on their internalized self-image. Yeah… Rumi isn’t face of what’s under her veil or clothes, choosing to cover up and hide them.

Became extremely agoraphobic (fearful of outside world) and rarely leaves the hunter compound in Jeju. As a result, Ji-Ahn was mostly homeschooled and had few, if any, friends growing up.

Hasn’t seen or talked to Mira or Zoey since Huntr/x split. Has no idea if they’re alive or not…

[theeldritchdarling]

KpDH AU: The Moon will Sing/Golden Honmoon

Another recent commission of Nu Ji-Ahn/Dr. OrLa! (@marcomie_ on Instagram)

She is considered very strange compared to other demons. Choosing to show her demonic traits, having no shame towards her demonic heritage, and being able to stay on the mortal side of the Honmoon for so long, most demons think she’s either superpowered or insane.

She’s neither. She simply embraced herself.

Because Gwi-Ma, and by extension the patterns, rely on shame for control, by embracing these aspects of herself she’s weakened his hold on her. He occasionally whispers in her ear, but it’s so feint she assumes it’s background noise.

Her patterns are also not as extreme as most demons:

Her patterns run similar to this concept art of Rumi (by Scott Watanabe). They barely touch her face and while they go completely down her arms, they barely go past mid-thigh on her legs. She carries so little shame now, they’ve even changed color!

Though she isn’t aware of this change yet…

(She just assumes the off-white iridescence is still part of the glamour she puts on. She’s unaware that her patterns have changed)

It’s similar for the Golden Honmoon AU: she chooses to constantly have her patterns showing. This was a bit of contention between her and Rumi, but Rumi ultimately let her due it. She saw how happier Ji-Ahn was with them showing, and knowing what hiding them did to her, refused to do the same to Ji-Ahn.

A massive source of strain between Rumi and Celine. One of many…

[theeldritchdarling]

Golden Honmoon AU - Idea One expanded

Just some designs of the future generation of hunters that have to face off with the Saja Boys.

Both are newbie idol groups that are competing/getting paired with each other as a result.

The new hunters, Mu, are a reference to mudang shamans. The people the hunters were modeled after. This groups leans into the shamanic motif and regularly use traditional music in their songs. They were formed by Rumi. The public were shocked by this sudden appearance of long forgotten, and rather scandalous, idol…

The members of Mu are:

1. Cho Eun-Ji (

The tallest member (5’8) Eun-Ji acts the voice of reason and mediator of the group. She’s the lead dancer and main rapper of the group. Also lead designer. Middle “child” at 20 years old.

Had the most normal upbringing: Regular parents who encouraged her to tryout as an idol since she loved Huntr/x when she was younger. Being trained by Rumi seemed like a dream come true…

2. Emily Williams (Emi)

The oldest (22) and main lyricist/visual of the group. Elephant in the room…

Yes. She’s Rumi illegitimate daughter. During a tour Rumi, spiraling from Huntr/x inability to create the Golden Honmoon, had a one-night stand. Rumi didn’t know she was pregnant until they were in the states. Panicked and scared, Rumi had the baby but left it at the hospital. Too scared, confused, and shame-ridden to raise them properly. She was tossed around the foster system for a few years before formally being adopted. Used to die her hair brown to stop the connection to Rumi of Huntr/x.

Holds a lot of resentment and envy towards Rumi and Ji-Ahn for seemingly have the life SHE should’ve had.

Height: (5’8)

3. Nu Ji-Ahn (Jiji)

Ji-Ahn! Yup I threw her in here to! Because I can!!! She’s the main vocalist and maknae of the group (19 years old). Shortest (4’9 lol).

Backstory same as “mainline”: raised by Saja Boys/Saja Lords and turned into demon. When she was six, the Hunters found them and burned her home. Instead of capturing her, the hunters “kill” her instead. Most demons reform soon after in Magye, but because she was so young she didn’t. She was presumed dead by her family. In reality her soul and self just took an extremely long time to reform because of how young she was.

He soul reforms on Jeju and she’s found by Rumi (post Huntr/x break up). Instead of killing the young demon, Rumi decides to raise her instead.

Acts similar to Mai from ATLA: rather closed off and sarcastic. Unable to tap into her deeper feelings because she closed them off. Doesn’t want to think she was neglected/abused because Rumi cared for her, but struggles to justify it thanks to the Saja Boys influence.

[theeldritchdarling]

Golden Honmoon AU Ideas (AKA: The Blendering AUs) @dukeswonderousmenagerie I thought you might enjoy these 😈

1. Idea one: The girls go about their live performance without issue and the Golden Honmoon appears. But it only lasts as long as the concert.

Confused, the girls continue to try and create/maintain the Golden Honmoon, but it doesn’t work. Because it doesn’t exist, unity only lasts as long as that moment and people return to normal soon after….

But the girls don’t know this, and this continuous failure strains their relationship. Their shames becoming more prominent. Rumi’s patterns aren’t taken away and continue to spread, practically consuming her. This causes her to isolate and push Mira and Zoey away. Their own shames, Zoey people-pleaser, Mira bluntness, push back and the girls begin to fight more and more…

Eventually, Huntr/x announces a hiatus. A hiatus that continues from months to years. Huntr/x is disbanded not soon after. Mira and Zoey still stay in the industry, but Rumi goes into hiding at Jeju. With Celine keeping Mira and Zoey from seeing her and, seemingly, turning her back on the two girls.

All girls lose their connection to the Honmoon (the affinity is still there, but their splitting weakened it). So missing persons cases start rising.

Eventually a new boyband comes out of nowhere. A group called the Saja Boys….

2. Idea Two: The Golden Honmoon DOES succeed in taking Rumi’s patterns, but it also takes more. As with the first idea, the Golden Honmoon only lasts a moment and the girls try to go about rebuilding it. But Rumi can’t sing.

Along with taking her patterns, the Golden Honmoon took her voice. Nothing the girls do can bring it back, meaning Rumi is unable to sing or be a part of Huntr/x as a performer anymore.

It only gets worse.

Out on a hunt, because of only two singers the Honmoon has weakened a bit, it is discovered that Rumi has also lost her connection to the Honmoon as well!

It starts small: unable to sense tears, losing the ability to see it, and it culminates in her inability to summon her weapon. She can no longer be a hunter.

Huntr/x, primarily their label, go on a temporary hiatus. But behind the scenes, Celine went about finding a new member to take Rumi’s place. As both a performer and hunter.

Rumi is devastated. She just wanted to be rid of her patterns. She wanted to be normal. But she paid the price, and lost everything.

This one is more a psychology analysis than anything.
