I would like for Samir to tuck me into bed.

[The universe conspires to have Silas do it instead.]

The tapestry of the history of the world as your blanket. An hourglass by your bedside. Despite being the King of Nightmares (as Silas is the Prince of Dreams, notice the title difference), Samir will make sure your room is cool and your room is dark. If you desire light, it will be given to you. His "children," the watchers gifted to him to watch in sleep paralysis, will sit and listen. make sure you stay safe. Freeze you if getting up in the night may put you in danger.

The bite will make him very sad....do you want him to be sad?

samir ; "do you really want to hurt me? do you really want to make me cry?"

I haven't cried in so long. I don't even know what would come out. Sand, perhaps? It would be unpleasant no matter what...

[artwithoutblood]

I want Samir to eat me alive

I wouldn't do that. I have no need for flesh.

#samir ask

[artwithoutblood]

How tall is pookie Samir 🤔

I have half the mind to make him super, duper tall.

But I also think him being short would be funny.

He's about 6'.

If they were in the same universe

They are.

Trying to figure out how best to use this knowledge. You don't suppose I could entice Viktor to climb a very tall ladder, do you? 🤔

i sure hope not.

for his sake.

I want to hug Samir from behind and then bite his shoulder

The bite will make him very sad....do you want him to be sad?

I feel like Samir is like Spider Anansi. Creator of the world. Associated with stories, wisdom, knowledge ...and trickery.

I know that Silas has gone to Aeron hoping either to have the Parasight cut out, or to be killed and reformed in a restorative second death.

But it would be cool if it didn't work and Samir defeated Silas by tricking him. Samir doesn't play hardball by choice but can be very clever when he has to be.

It is a correct interpretation of Samir.

But I think it's important to know despite Silas getting the Parasight removed and parts of his body replace, it is not the end for Silas.

Perhaps everything is part of Samir's web to narrow his options and place him permanently in the glass coffin, delicately laid in a room of mirrors.

I haven't decided if he has an apartment or a house yet, but I would think the windows are barred with like, iron gates if you know what I mean.

Damn. If I couldn't actually escape Viktor I was hoping to just... jump.

If they were in the same universe Dorian would be thrilled to have a voluntary companion.

They are.

Can we have some fun facts about Viktor? 👀 And maybe Adonis and Samir too? I just wanted to get to know them better

Viktor facts

His day job is being a museum tour guide.

He exclusively drinks earl gray tea. He hates coffee and soda.

He has ear piercings, but he often forgets to put them in.

As a side hustle, he makes jewelry. Usually earrings and necklaces. Probably does little small business fairs.

When you met him, he wore glasses. You don't see him put in contacts anymore.

He dyes his hair himself.

His favorite food is ramen. With an egg in it, of course.

Viktor spends a lot of his time in coffee shops if he isn't home, even if he just gets a tea. He really love the cozy atmosphere and being in the company of others, even if he pretends he doesn't.

Adonis facts

Their favorite fruit is strawberries.

A long time ago, they were in a folk rock band. It was just a local thing, and it consisted mostly of covers.

They refuse to take their glasses off. Part of it is a sensory thing, part of it is an underlying reason.

They have mastered every bird call, and sometimes, they prank birds by mimicking their mating calls.

Secretly, they have wheels in their boots. It's rollin' time if need be.

Adonis is a very good swimmer! And they love catching fish. Sometimes by hand.

Their favorite activity is scaring children.

Samir facts

Some demons take the forms of animals. Samir's is a spider.

He taught Micah how to do her hair.

He has a placid pool deep within the tunnels underneath the sand. He will sit in the waters, laying on his back, staring at the carvings of the history of the world that he made with his own hands. They hurt now. He sticks to weaving. That does not hurt.

He doesn't like to talk, but they have the deepest yet softest voice of any AWB characters so far.

Samir loves to color. He would love those mandala coloring books.

He loves dice games. Someone's given him a very expensive, very valuable set of black dice with golden lettering.

When not weaving the stories of the world through their nightmares, Samir likes to write poetry.

Does Viktor have a nice high window? No reason...

I haven't decided if he has an apartment or a house yet, but I would think the windows are barred with like, iron gates if you know what I mean.

The idea that a yan can just... Get bored of you is a little horrifying and heartbreaking, I'll definitely be playing/reading whatever you put Viktor in <3

Hehe thank you! There's two angles I was considering with it. Nevertheless, the game opens the same: you've been stuck in this man's apartment/home for 6 months. You notice everything seems less full of heart. He says he admits, he's no longer infatuated with you like he once was. He can't just let you go. You'll go to the police, let something slip eventually. But he doesn't want to kill you. He doesn't hate you that much. So you're just...stuck. Forever.

So, either it's a game about this unbearable, sad cycle. go through every day.

or it's about a deal. he falls in love with someone else. he'll let you go, as long as you help him manipulate and capture his new favorite. and maybe you can convince him to keep you.

#viktor ask

[artwithoutblood]

Oh, Viktor doesn't look happy.

Was it something the player did? Or the novelty just wore off.

the novelty wore off! he's a pretty blunt person to be honest as well.

#viktor ask

[artwithoutblood]

people often think i am cruel. that i purposefully take pleasure in what i do. i have only survived so long because i have learned from each person i have killed and absorbed. their words sing into my skin, into my muscle, they whisper through my markings and remind me that we are built on the interactions we have with human beings. and through that, i have learned that everything is transactional. knowing this is the only reason i have lived so long in this form without intimidation or harm. get too close and the knife is against your neck. and even if you like it, the pain of which is given in exchange for your blood, it will be used against you until it cuts every artery and you are left with a heap of flesh and no structure left.

#just thinking about the silas/aeron game again #char: aeron #char: silas #referenced cosplayers for this....

[artwithoutblood]

ended up not doing this jam but i'm still going to use him at some point. his name is viktor.

deciding last minute to make something for the stained red yandere jam. this character doesn't have a name yet, but he's a yandere who kidnapped you a few months ago who's tired/fallen out of love with you but it would be bad to let you go so it's just really awkward now. might change his vest.

*bites Silas*

Are you so deranged that you're using me as a teether?

#silas ask

[artwithoutblood]

I want Dorian to take care of me forever. Keep me safe in his arms. I don't want anyone else. I wish I could braid his hair and give him kisses everywhere

You can, perhaps, if you follow the wind as it swoops up the ash, and you'll find yourself at his Cathedral, sitting in a bathtub with candles. he's only sitting there, watching graveyards from the window. there is no need for curtains for privacy. he is alone out here. waiting.

#dorian ask

[artwithoutblood]

Greetings! I'm sure somebody already asked that but I scrolled through your Tumblr and couldn't find it 😭 so if it's not a bother, could I know what is the meaning of the title of game 10:16?

It's a Bible verse in the Book of Matthew! Dorian recites this in the game.
