What's that about?

I've been with my girlfriend since 2020. We got to know each other in 2011 when we were both children. She changed my life for the better in every aspect.

Our roleplay phase started almost immediately as our friendship, but we’ve been indulging in a Lovecraftian-inspired universe since 2021. This blog is the space to talk about our oc’s, wordbuilding, or share themes that inspire me.

The story began as we sat to play in a tabletop game, the Mansion of Madness. We chose our characters, Mateo Castile and Rita Young, and through each mission, they got to know each other. One of the premade scenarios we lost, and as we walked our dog at night, I had to create an explanation as to why our characters didn’t actually die. From that moment, we continue to explore their story on our own. When it comes to timeline (because I'm posting older drawings as well) their story began at 19.04.1958 ~ 01.06.59 - 03.07.59 = 2024 04.07.59 - 17.08.59 = 2025 18.08.59 and going = 2026 Additional explanations of certain arc's you'll find here https://una-supervivent.tumblr.com/timeline

05.09.1959 - 3rd meeting They were both walking beside Guy, but he wasn't human anymore. Even if he never was one, it's easier to forget when that's how they present. His bloated, heavy neck, growing unnaturally from between his shoulders ended with even less pleasant, eel head. They couldn't tell what was he observing with those glassy, bulgy eyes. Creamy background presented fixed, split pupils, so unnerving to look at that they couldn't really inspect them much. His shoulders alone towered over their heads and massive tail could easily weight as much as Rita. What seemed unique about him was lack of any patterns on silky, uneven skin. It seemed greenish white, resembling decomposing drowned body, with exception of reddish head. Additionally, similarly to his human form, he had something sticking out from underneath his chest. Instead of small deformed and immobile arm it took form of thick and always wriggling tentacle. Out of all creatures it's hard to believe that's the one they pledged their allegiance to. Dweller

The rarest type of an eel and the most dangerous. Despite many efforts to create them artificially, process occurs rarely and even then with very limited success. It's entirely different conversation when it comes to reviving them. Those are the only ones able to come back through another ritual, with similar if not identical character and memories. Dwellers are eels that connected to the soul of their host instead of consuming it completely. It's debatable how much humanity is left in such individual, yet it's certain that whatever's preserved is exactly the anchor allowing them to keep a sense of ego across many bodies. Their motivations are often related to wellbeing of the cult, since it's the source of their existence. Being hard to control, they quickly advance to the highest rank, where they have to share their power with other eels of similar type.

Helen and her daughter Ruby.

After driving away with her boyfriend, Ruby went missing for two years. Despite her mother's efforts, nothing could be done about it. Then mysteriously she came back. In 04.09.1959 she disappeared again, this time for good.

---

It seems like while dreaming, Rita's Nature was dragged towards stronger source - to confront an eel that wore Ruby's face. Fearing for her life, she used her connection to the Guide and killed it. Only later she realized that there was a way out of the situation without extinguishing creature's life. Maybe it was worth it after all, but it's still awful to feel forced towards the only one option.

Returner

Edenians classify returning eels the same as inhibitors, since they both use the body of a person and alter it while it's weakened. Crucial difference between these two is that although inhibitors are difficult to summon artificially, it's not impossible to observe when the process occurs. In returner's case, person has to be missing indefinitely and for everyone. They use memories of people that miss their loved ones, to create their image. They don't remember what happened while they were gone. When they try, their memory reaches destabilizing void that triggers traumatic response. They are one of the most unstable types and usually live from 10 to 15 years only although with proper care, there are exceptions. Their eel form is usually tall and very slim while their features resemble leafy seadragon. They have long heads, but small mouths with hundreds of tiny teeth.

Primal emotions and subjects they tend to fixate on

fitting in

serving and helping community

dreams and memories

missing people

abusive relationships

true crime

Dimensionless arc Scylla the dimensionless and one of her companions

July 1958 Faceless people are after us. Were after us, until we struck a deal with one of them. It's neck to throat type of work so dubious morality of our new made friend is not only on the table but consists of full course meal and additional dessert. Currently her capacity of harm is limited exactly by the condition we're trying to cure. I'm not saying we didn't change before, as we got to this point but embracing long term survival at the cost of other people is not something I ever imagined myself doing. How privileged of me I guess. To be where I was, not having to think about it. And now for having to do the dirty work instead of becoming the direct victim of it. Some might say that, considering the circumstances, I could call myself a victim too, since if I could choose to remain pure, I would. Neither of those feel right for me. ~ Mateo

Meantime arc 07.03.59 She's big, fierce and wild. Sure of herself and her abilities as much she knows every stripe on her back. But near Mateo, she turns into ordinary cat sometimes. Not because he does anything to make her feel small. It's just how different they are in what they want to achieve. They love each other but her nature is made of hunger. One that she's happy to satiate when alone in the jungle, but which causes guilt when she confronts him, as if her stomach growling was a sign of her dissatisfaction towards life he has to offer. She loves him but she also needs to run and it makes her uncertain whether expecting him to keep up is loving enough.

01.04.59 She's patient with the jackal. He hurt her, he hurts other people and he hurts himself. But she's still here, taking him to the junkyard to destroy cars together. Nothing matters for a moment. They shatter windows, investigate trunks, play detectives. He wishes it could be like this forever. But he can't be the only person in her life.

"People are animals" phase

07.03.1959 Rita never thought of herself as the tiger. Previously she would probably consider it silly. But Gabi's metaphor stuck with her. She was lost and needed not only consolation but a way to understand herself. That's how she became a big cat, while ghost she rescued (or who rescued himself through her) became jackal. And Mateo… well, he started as a human monk, but eventually got to shapeshift into a dog.

Notes from siren-arc

They aren't very easy to read (and some of them are in polish) but I like to have them close nonetheless. Rough sketches depict Murray's ship and stuff he shared with Tai. Drawing of deer and rat is one of many pictures left to Thurid by her first and only love. Although deer died many years ago, she keeps staring at those sketches reimagining them together.

Final and older versions of Tai and Murray <3

She showed herself as a monster first, then as woman. He knew both of her forms but she kept hiding her true one, not wanting to scare or disgust him. As he began to love her, her siren spell couldn't work on him anymore and he stayed with her, as she truly was.

05.09.1959 "In greek mythology Aion is associated with indestructible permanence. I guess she's not wrong. Not that you are a god, (debatable, maybe?) but that you're eternal. I still prefer to just call you a Guy though." ~ Guy
