silly little neighbors au I rambled about a bit ago
Kind of scuffed comic for another post weaver queen thing, what if the snail shamans decided to get off their asses and seal away the new weaver god before she’s too powerful to stop them, idk idk
This is amazing... and I mentally read the monolog in distortion of hundreds of voices, all different and undiscernable, but united
I wished I had the skills to make a dub of this
hornet is truly the girl of all time. she's the spawn of a divine worm and a spider and she looks like a gangly stick figure. all of her siblings are lovecraftian abominations and she's the only one among them who has a gender. she inherited her divine father's autistic love for crafting. she is an excellent orator but can't phrase how she likes being kind to people normally. she has an inordinate love for fluffy creatures. she was named by bees. she's old as balls but would not be let into the club. she's gnc as fuck. she has three moms and they're not even gay.
Hiii, I was just wandering if you wouldn’t mind blabbing about the symbolism and stuff behind some of your design choices with the horse men that you might not have mentioned. Like with pestilence and death specifically I feel like there’s a lot of symbolism I’m picking up on without fully understanding. Like with Death’s sickle, both a homage to the classic scythe and a nod to the “reaping/harvesting” of souls. And with pestilence I feel like there’s something that I’m skirting around without grasping. The multiple legs strike me as a deliberate similarity to insects, and if I’m right I think that the rider is bound in a body bag type deal, similar to how disease and pestilence is so often both spread through the improper disposal of body’s, and how wide spread pestilence leads to mass graves filled with disease and the horrible anonymity that comes with being just one face in a pit of hundreds etc? All of this is, ofc, to say that I’ve adored your series of the horsemen so far and would go absolutely rabid for some insight on some of your design choices<3
My horsemen of the apocalypse! I will add the original commentary and some extras, less about the symbolism and more about what brought me to design them the way I did.
The symbolism is for you to chose, there is no wrong answer.
WAR
I can't bring myself to represent war with a cool knight. It's horror. War is a bound child crowned with shrapnel, tied to a wounded horse that is being pulled forward by unseen people.
I've read a handful of books regarding war. A lost quote said that it should be shown as horror, it should make generals vomit, it should make you sick. I haven't seen war but my family has.
It was the first horseman I've designed, and it was in my sketchbook for months (maybe over a year, maybe even more) before I had the courage to draw it. I was really scared about how people would react to a mutilated child.
Recommended reading: The Red Crown - Mikhail Bulgakov, a short story about a man coping with the loss of his brother in the war
FAMINE
Someone who lived thro a famine shared that their head was only occupied with thoughts of food. Famine consumes your mind. All animals were eaten. Neighbors gave their pets away cuz they couldn't do it themselves. People walked around town as if in a dazed dream, slowly
Recommended reading: The Last Witnesses - Svetlana Alexievitch, a collection of testimonials of people who were children when WW2 began. Some quotes below;
'''A cat! A cat!' Other children saw it and started chasing it. The educators were local habitants, looked at us as if we were insane. In Leningrad there were no living cats left...A living cat was a dream. Food for one month...We talked about it, but they didn't believe us.''
''During the first year of evacuation, we didn't notice nature, everything that was nature provoked in us only one desire - taste to see if it's edible. Only a year later I noticed the beauty of the Urals''
''I dreamt of catching a sparrow and eating it...''
''A candle burns and the shopgirl cuts the bread pieces. People follow her with their gaze. Her every movement...with burning eyes...crazed...and all that in silence.''
''People walked slowly through the city like shadows. Like in a dream...a deep dream...As in, you see it, but you think you're seeing a dream. Those sluggish movements...floating...As if a person walked on water and not on land.''
''In Leningrad there are a lot of monuments, but one is missing that should exist. They forgot about it. The monument to the dogs of the seige. Dear doggy, forgive me...''
I don't like talking about it. It made no sense to draw Famine with a horse.
PESTILENCE
Based on the notes of a doctor who said the most frightening thing about viral disease was how it didn’t frighten. People didn’t know or didn't care. They lived and spread until it was too late and they became another name on the record
The clothing being made out of shredding plastic is no coincidence; pollution is a form of pestilence too
Recommended reading: Notes from a Countryside Doctor - Mikhail Bulgakov. Roughly translated quote below;
''Ah, I verified that here syphilis was frightening precisely because it did not frighten. That was why I evoked that woman.* I remembered her with a kind of affectionate respect: because she had been afraid. But she was the only one!''
*Early in the chapter, doctor mentions a woman that appeared in the clinic with a letter from her soldier husband, where he wrote that he had syphilis and told her she should go to the doctor too.
DEATH
Recommended reading: Voices of Chernobyl - Svetlana Alexievitch. The Death of Ivan Ilitch - Lev Tolstoi
“Death is the fairest thing in the world. No one's ever gotten out of it. The earth takes everyone - the kind, the cruel, the sinners. Aside from that, there's no fairness on earth.”
Death is the only horseman that doesn’t need to mount their horse; they will reach everyone eventually. Who is the saddle for then? Open ended question because this one you have to figure out personally
Many people pointed out how the horse is a Clydesdale. Good eyes! I purposefully asked a friend to guide me towards what type of horses are the sturdiest and most-friendly looking. I drew the horse grazing. It's not injured, it doesn't gallop. It's grazing peacefully because life moves on.
This is the only design that had a painting serve as a base - The Reaper, by Alexey Venetsianov. Not much or nothing at all is written about, I saw it in a book. It is a literal reaper but it haunted me, as if it's portraying more than a person.
The choice to make it a woman was due to a book about a crematory (Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Caitlin Doughty) that connected women to death because everyone born is bound to die.
Ahhh, I don't want to give it all away. It's fun to figure things out. About them all. From the enviroment, to the movement, to the horses themselves. Many people even mentioned details that I did not notice and didn't add purposefully that were so inspired and amazing. I truly mean that the interpretations of the public enrich the works even more than my own words. And it's an honor to share that work with everyone.
Thank you anon!
The Course of Empire is a series of five paintings created by the English-born American painter Thomas Cole between 1833 and 1836, which depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city. The Course of Empire comprises the following works: The Course of Empire – The Savage State (1); The Arcadian or Pastoral State (2); The Consummation of Empire (3); Destruction (4); and Desolation (5).
Ace spectrum love. Been meaning to do this for a while since the original post was popular but there’s so much more to be said.

Is it weird that I identify as nonbinary but I wish I was born the opposite sex? Like, I don’t want to be the opposite gender but I guess I just wish I had a different starting point?
Submitted February 13, 2023
i understand that a lot of ppl are coming off the heels of twitter & tiktok so i just wanted 2 say that if you think you are trans but don't feel specifically transmasculine or transfeminine and feel fucked up over having to pick something that's not you, you can identify as a trans neutral, nonbinary, or just trans. u do not have to identify with them if they don't fit. transmasculine is not the "only" way to be trans if u are afab. transfeminine is not the "only" way to be trans if u are amab. hope this helps
For so long i didn't realize i'm agender because i thought everyone felt the way i do , and when i started questioning my gender i was so quick to dismiss myself because i still kind of thought that everyone feels the same as i do , but now i know its not true
To avoid dysphoria i pretend i don't have a body
My biology teacher thinks gender and sex are the same thing and so does everyone around me
A sexless body would feel actually ''me'' , if that makes sense
People are too obsessed with labels , labels exist to help you not the other way around
If you haven't found a label that fits yet it doesn't mean you're faking it or whatever , it just means you haven't found a label that fits yet that's all , it's okay give yourself time , don't be so mean to yourself
AND TO ALL THE AGENDER HUMANS OUT THERE , HELLOOO IM AGENDER TOO
There are many days where I look in the mirror and love how I look, and others where I just can't bring myself to look cause I don't want to even see how ugly I am. But I'm happy to be an enby transfem. Sometimes, I like the idea of being a gender freak, and sometimes I feel like a weird carnival attraction for people to gawk at. I know for some, my normal is their weird, and I should just learn to live with that, but it's hard sometimes. There isn't a better path I could've walked, I just wish the road wasn't that bumpy.
genderfluidity is not a strict or defined thing- i've seen a lot of people questioning whether or not their experience "counts" as a genderfluid experience because it "doesn't seem to fit"- the only "rule" for genderfluidity is that your gender changes sometimes. that's it, it doesn't have to be anything more complicated than that
How to Care for your Eldritch Horror!
(A guide for Humans, by an Eldritch Horror)
Hello! Welcome to this handy guide for humans who find themselves in the company of an Eldritch horror. I’d like to preface this guide by saying that all Horrors are different, so you may need to try different things to see what works for you Horror, these are simply general tips from my own experience. Here we go!
Horrors prefer dark spaces as their eyes are used to staring into the void of space and ⊣’ ̷̳̈́̐ͅ ̵̝̙́̈ ̷̣͎̘̃̀̚ ̶̯̓̓̓ ̵͇̖̃̑ ᔑ ̷͍͎̌̊ ̷̱̮̙̐̓̕ ̵́ ̶̜͊̌͘ ̴̆͠ ̴̭͍͔͂ ╎ ̷̳̈́̐ͅ ̵̲̜͔̃ ̸̡̿ ʖ ̴̺̯̏͠ ̸̜̪͋͊ ̴̨̪͎̾ ̵̝͐͘ ̵͔͉̑̀͝ ̵̝͎̀͂̽ ᔑ ̴͚͊͝ ̷̙̇͊̉ ̶̧̙̎ ̴̺̯̏͠ ̸̜̪͋͊ ꖌ↸ ̷̙̇͊̉ ̶̧̙̎ ̴̺̯̏͠ リ.
Horrors are usually very uncomfortable in human form, especially if they are not used to it, this means: They are very sensitive to touch; They may feel uncomfortable being perceived; They may need reassurance that their human form is acceptable.
Due to the vastness of their true form being placed in a human vessel, a horror may need more rests due to their joints not being capable of containing them.
A horror’s true form is personal to them, so, (if you know your brain is capable of handling Eldritchness), let them know they can take breaks from the human form in front of you, but do not be pushy, and do not be offended if they decline.
October-November is Eldritch shedding season, as they prepare for ᔑ ̵̼͆ ̶̦͐ ⋮ ̷͈̂ ̷̍͜ ̸͔̊ ̵̼͆ ̶̦͐ ̵̘̑ ̴̤̀ ̵̰̎ ↸ᔑ ̷͈̂ ̸̲̄ ̵̘̑ ̴̀ ̸͔̊ ̵̼͆ ̶̦͐ , so make sure they brush any hair they may have and take care of their human and Eldritch form.
Not all Horrors are from the void of space, please do not assume! Some are from ocean depths, some are from the burning stars, some are from gods and some do not know where they come from. Please be considerate!
Slumbering is a big part of Eldritch culture, so make sure you accomodate for a Horrors mandatory 8-12 hours of sleep.
Horrors come to Earth to learn about humans! So please enrich your horror, but be careful not to crowd them immediately, as they may become overwhelmed. Start out small with human artifacts and rituals, make them feel welcome!
More may be added in time, but these are the basics! And to all horrors: ̴̔ͅ ̸̧̌ ̴͙͂ ̴̆͜ ̸͚͆ ᔑ ̸̧̌ ̴͙͂ ⊣ ̴̆͜ ̸͚͆ ̶͈͘ ̸̯̇ リ ̶͈͘ ̸̯̇ ᒲᔑ ̸̯̇ ̴͎̒ ̴̟̅ ̷̊ͅ ̸͚̄ ̶̧͒ ̴̬̈́ ╎∷ ̴̟̅ ↸ ̸̰̔ ̴̨̋ ̴͈͑ ̵̞̀ ⚍ ̸̯̇ ̴͎̒ ̴̟̅ ⍑ᔑ ̶͈͘ ̸̯̇ ̴͎̒ ̴̟̅ ̷̊ͅ ̴̟̅ ̴̨̋ ╎ ̴̆͜ ̸͚͆ ̶͈͘ ̸̯̇ ̴͎̒ ᒷ ̸̯̇ ⎓ ̵̥̐ ̴̙̆ ̴͊ͅ ̵̖̏ ̸̡̆ ⚍ ̴̆͜ ̸͚͆ ᔑ ̷̊ͅ ̴̟̅ ̴̨̋ ⎓ ̴͎̒ ̴̟̅ ̴̔ͅ ̸̧̌ .
How to Care for your Human!
(A guide for Eldritch Horrors, by an Eldritch horror… with assistance from @punk-in-roll, my resident human)
Hello! Welcome to a second guide for any Horrors new to humans and their culture. If you find yourself having to care for one and have not before, I’d recommend referencing this guide. Humans are quite complex creatures, so this guide is only a base, and you should listen to your human if they tell you to do or NOT do something. Lets proceed!
Humans spend most of their time in their living spaces, so they must be very enriching. A human may get grumpy and ruminate if they do not have enough stimulation.
Humans need to eat a specific threshold of food each day, so its best if you find out what their favourite foods are, and when they eat them. Cooking food is the only thing that seperates humans from the other animals on their planet, so cooking food is a good way to get on a human’s good side.
Humans have a range of complicated sexualities and identities, which some other humans claim are wrong. It’s best to let the humans be who they want to be, as it as been discovered to improve their well being considerably!
It’s is best to explain to your humans your preferences of touch beforehand, as humans naturally tend to be very textile creatures, and may want to touch you. They do not mean this in an offensive way.
Some humans find certain sensory combinations difficult, and may become under/overwhelmed and stressed. It’s important to help them in these times, by knowing what they need to calm down, or giving them the space necessary.
Some humans feel lots of emotions and show these outwardly, while others experience them inside. These fluctuate and are completely different per person. This can make them unpredictable, but as a general statement, it is best to treat them with equal respect.
Humans are not to be underestimated. They have many advantages to their survival that go beyond their physical form.
Humans are very complicated, so this will not cover all situations, but it’s a start. Feel free to correct me on any errors I have made. ̷̘͇̽̚ ̴̯͗̊ͅ ̴̜̹̇͂ ̶̯͛̆ ̵̜̅ ↸ ̴̞̲̇ ̷̘͇̽̚ ̴̯͗̊ͅ ̴̜̹̇͂ ̶̯͛̆ ̵̜̅ ̶̱̣̾̿ ̴̝̅ᔑ ̴͎͙́ ̵̬̠̀ ̷̛̠̿ ⋮ᔑ ̷̘͇̽̚ ̴̯͗̊ͅ ̴̜̇͂ ̸̢͔̎̇ ̸̻̤̊ ̴̞̑̄ ̵̞̟̾̈́ ꖌ↸ᔑ ̴̣͙̓ ̸̥͒ ̶̼͝ ̷͉̓̕ ̸̢͆͜ ̴̖͌ ̵͕̙͌͛ ̵̝̀͝ ̷͍̟̐̇ ̸̙͙̒̂ ⎓ ̸̥͒ ̶̼͝ ̷͉̓̕ ‘ᔑ ̴̢̀ ̵̫͎̍ ̶̧̛ ̷̺̟̎ ̶̞̂͛ ̴̲͍̄ ↸ ̷̛̠̿ ╎ ̷̺̟̎ ̶̞̂͛ ⋮
