I Picked A Brown Headed Cowbird For VAL Since They’re Parasitic Nesters Meaning They Lay Their Eggs

silly doodles based on this post by @ianthewife

now i don't believe in any of that bullshit about interacting with too much horror media making you a danger to society or whatever but i do think it's had some kind of effect on me because why was my first thought when i heard a scary buzzing noise (which was my neighbour mowing the lawn with a handheld weedcutter) not any more eminently plausible and sensible conclusion i could have drawn, but instead "there is a wasp's nest inside my brain"

never dreamt of such sterile hands. you keep 'em folded in your lap and raise them up to beg for scraps. you know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers, just the same.

Happy sibling rane Saturday!!!

I’m back on my elves wearing mourning veils shit

I know opinions on maeglin are mixed which is honestly valid but for me I just see him as more tragic than anything. like dude’s life was so shitty in a way where everything going horribly wrong just kind of seemed inevitable

Sister! I love you! Where are you going? Don’t turn your back on me! Don’t you dare- don’t you dare-

paige val and faulkner as the death tarot card! click on each individual one for better quality. speedpaint notes etc under the cut

first off you need to look at the water in the background of faulkner's one

chose the death crad bc death card is abt transformation and big changes and yk. death, which really works with these, the changing for your god trio. every god's a god of death etc

paige has hands and plants growing at her feet bc she has achieved the whole better things will grow thing, but through bloodshed

paige and val are night and day for narrative foil purposes. also their respective light sources are on opposite sides

val is holding a white bloodstained flag to symbolise her attempt at making the cls into something better. the white flag is a declaration of peace and the blood represents everyone shes killed along the way.

the words making up the bridle of the horse show how val uses words as a means of control

faulkner is upside down bc upside down tarot cards mean the opposite of what the upright meaning is, hence signaling his inability and averseness to change

the withermark parallels the curve of the scythe hes holding to show its a weapon of destruction

faulkner is also semi transparent to show his lack of personhood and vessel for your god stuff

val has blood on her hands bc shes actively killed people. paige has blood on her scythe bc though she has not directly killed anyone her god sure has. faulkner is bloodless bc he cant face up to the people hes killed

they all have halos somewhat distorting their faces to show how religion has distorted their identity

yea i think thats it. pointing emoji watch my speedpaint
