More doodles from divine highness au. I imagine it would be neat if Harrow was groomed to be Kiriona's advisor. She can rock the evil vizier aesthetic while trying and failing to babysit this spoiled oafish god-prince

There's this type of Goats song that you hear 10 times and find completely unremarkable but on the 11th listen suddenly it clicks and it's your favorite on the album: Andrew Eldritch, Harlem Roulette, Animal Mask, and this one, Beautiful Gas Mask from All Eternals Deck. It's clearly about Kiriona and Harrow, plummeting to some unknown fate, never sleeping and needing to reminders to breathe. JD says of the song "...and the two of you will look toward the wealthy morning sky and know that in its gorgeous portents lie the certainty of death every single morning. The fact that you both know this is why you like each other so much." Artist Credit Ulfvae

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

I love you all, you’ve done nothing wrong. But I’m begging you. The “kiri” in Kiriona is not pronounced like Siri on your phone. Kiriona is legit just how someone speaking te reo Māori would pronounce “Gideon”. You roll the R a little bit and it should sound a lot more like “Kee-dee-oh-nah” sorry idk how to properly write out phonetics but you get it

do you ever think about corona and gideon. how ianthe and harrow respectively refused to consume them. how they took it as a sign of rejection when it was a symbol of love. or are you normal.
