finally making icons for this asshole so here's a hc :
Tumblr media
too old and limited to be human , but too cunning and cruel to be beast , it's uncertain exactly WHAT a.rktos is , let alone where he came from . some eldritch horror or ancient demon that was around since the beginning of the world , who had wrapped himself in the ice and snow to dull the pain of his miserable existence .
personally , i classify him as a bogeyman : a childhood's fear impersonating all the "real evils" of life ( a devil , a dictator , a mean adult , a scary thing that lurks in the dark , a dark and stormy night ) it's why he's legitimately a threat while still being incredibly hammy and , in truth , quite childlike himself .
i mean-- he's a snowman who wants to make the world into a winter wasteland wonderland at the expense of all life . talk about the duality of man , right ?
but that's exactly the point . a.rktos thrives off deception and manipulation . he plays the silly snowman before freezing his prey just as sweetly . he takes his time and likes games . given the choice between finishing off his opponent instantly vs. toying with them , he's very partial towards the latter . despite his need for precise control , a gamble excites him . just don't expect him to play fair .

scumbag-the-hedgehog asked:
The Seal. It's one of those things like looking over a tall building and thinking about what would happen if he just... fell over. It's still astounding that those coordinates were just given away like that. Libra would be furious if she knew he was here, but... curiosity had gotten the best of him. Everything indicated that this... thing didn't belong in this world. Any world. That it shouldn't be poked or prodded or even looked at, but... it was that very danger that drew him in. Horrible, overwhelming power. Arms crossed, the usurper takes a deep breath as he looks past the seal. "...Jenovah, right?
ㅤㅤFury in situations such as these was a feeling that would surely be buried underneath much more powerful emotions -- namely, fear. Though the golden devil wasn't aware of the smaller hedgehog's attachment to the goddess ( and certainly for the best, at that ), simply interacting with him with the desires in mind that Scourge had was dangerous enough.
ㅤㅤReally, he'd anticipated that she'd make an appearance, herself, by now. Was she trying to detach herself? Make it seem like there was some form of emotional distance between her and the ones she most definitely considered important? Their connection to each other was more than obvious, to him -- staying silent and away now would do nothing to earn his mercy.
ㅤㅤOr, perhaps, did she believe this seal of hers to be powerful enough that no concern needed to be warranted? However that multiversal link allowed him to distantly communicate with anyone outside of this sealed timeline was beyond him, but it seemed so funny that once he'd "pinged" his exact location -- being at the edge, the very entrance -- so that anyone who so desired could easily track their way to him..she'd shown no desire to more closely watch for if anyone decided to follow that trail.
ㅤㅤSpiral eyes gaze downwards at the visitor standing just outside of his cage. He knew very little about the conqueror -- even his own vessel's memories of their world's variant of the hedgehog proving useless, having long since faded to the hundreds of years that had passed. What he could piece together, though, was that this hedgehog was likely one who could be even more easily influenced -- just without as many horrific visions and blatant threats, and instead potential promises of grandeur and a hint of stroked ego.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤGrin slowly splits along his muzzle, and he hovers more downwards, clawed hands clasping behind his back. Jenovah, right? " In the flesh. And to whom do I owe this pleasure? "

And there he was.
He was dressed differently.
@ask-the-grian
"Who's there?" Scar snapped at the new presence within his house. As he turned around however recognition quickly dawned on him.
"...Grian?" Scar whispered in disbelief.

"Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies"
I dislike Uprising to my deepest core, but since fullscale invasion I am softly, gently, affectionately attached to the (out of character) concept of nihilistic Newt that emraces aliens in his brain and goes on the willing rampage of the disgusting world. Also "Centaurworld" rules.

[link]
EDIT: smirks evilly yet again. updated with some For The Future quotes n images
Anyways: BEHOLD. Short little annotations with pictures for each song! Enjoyable even if you don’t listen to the playlist!
rises the moon - introduction
Days fade into a watercolour blur Memories swim and haunt you But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke Rises the moon
Tumblr media
The Lesson - "Caleb did his best to take care of his younger brother.”
It's best to not breathe in at all Your teachers say The toxins in the air will take your life away
But don't believe a word from them You'll be okay For I will breathe with you
Tumblr media
The Ocean - “They tried to fit in with this town...and its unsavory practices. They became witch hunters.”
No one complains, ‘cause it’s got to be fed And they’re just glad that it didn’t see them.
And they shouldn’t blame themselves for that ‘Cause it’s really, really hard to break even.
Tumblr media
Overgrown Garden - "...the brothers Wittebane met a real witch...and the older brother was spirited away.”  (“...I already let you go. Many times.”)
I wonder when you left me behind that day Asleep beneath the willow withering away If you were okay Because I would do anything for you I would do anything
Tumblr media
Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn? - "Philip set off to save his brother, and bring the witch to justice.” (”Sounds like big bro got a hot witch girlfriend and little bro got upset”)
Did that ho-bag quit her job and run off With that dick-head Mike To Indio, Guantanamo Or Panama or Disneyland?
Tumblr media
Heroes and Villains - "...neither were ever seen again!”
I've been in this town so long that back in the city I've been taken for lost and gone And unknown for a long long time
Tumblr media
Sweet Bird - "I was trying to save your soul. It’s your fault this all happened!”
I can't recognize you Oh sweet bird of my youth Where have you flown to?
Now let's make one thing clear as crystal The blood is on your hands And the blood will stain your hands
Tumblr media
Nightengale, Pt. 2 - A lament for Caleb
“Homer evokes the nightingale in the Odyssey, suggesting the myth of Philomela and Procne (one of whom, depending on the myth’s version, is turned into a nightingale).”
“Because of the violence of the myth, the nightingale’s song was long interpreted as a lament.”
(Wikipedia page for the Common Nightingale, “Cultural connotations” section)
Tumblr media
Angel - “I’ll do anything to save humanity from evil.”
I believe that you believe that you're an angel Nowhere to rise, everywhere to fall I believe that you believe that there's a heaven Where you belong, where you belong
Tumblr media
Neighborhood #2 (Laika) - “It does feel good to hear another human say that name. I had to change it when Philip was run out of too many towns.”
Alexander, our older brother Set out for a great adventure He tore our images out of his pictures He scratched our names out of all his letters
Tumblr media
Hymn for a Scarecrow - “’Why,’ says [the bird catcher, laying his net], ‘I am laying the foundations of a city.’” (The Bird-Catcher and the Blackbird)
You hang around for a living Somewhere between all the land and the sky Being by never forgiving Nobody knows you and neither do I
Tumblr media
Poison Tree - "All these weepy Palisman souls...their voices constantly nagging me...vile. But without them, I wouldn’t be able to do this.”
Make me feel like something powerful Is growing deep inside of me Turn me into a poison tree 
Tumblr media
The Nowhere King - “Betrayed, beguiled, alone, decieved! We’ll have our revenge on-- ugh! ‘Unity’ is so hard to rhyme...”
Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies
Tumblr media
Open Hands - “A better version of an old friend.”
Here is what I lost forever Open hands, a certain laugh Here is what I thought I wanted Some lost smile in a photograph
Tumblr media
Crocodile Tears -  “It hurts every time he chooses to betray me.”
Crocodile tears marching down your cheek Ooh, a small sob for the thing you did last week I look in your hands and there it is again You don't regret a single thing, friend
Tumblr media
Pyre - Creating a Utopia, free from Wild Magic.
We're wresting now from our own hands a future Regret the flower of watered seed Are we the ghosts that swarm about us? We can begin We can begin again
Tumblr media
Dancing in the Moonlight - "Collector. You’re free! Just as promised.”
We like our fun and we never fight You can't dance and stay uptight It's a supernatural delight Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Tumblr media
Christmas Kids - “I thought this one was another lost cause. Because of you, we can finish our work as witch hunters...”
You'll change your name, or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know
Tumblr media
Home - “I just have to live long enough to see this through.”
No, no, you can’t go home, she says, the world, where do you think you’re going? We’re not done with you. The world is never done with you.
Tumblr media
Love Love Love - “...maybe he’s still chasing his brother...”
Raskolnikov felt sick, but he couldn't say why When he saw his face reflected in his victim's twinkling eye
Some things you'll do for money and some you'll do for fun But the things you do for love are going to come back to you one by one
(cw: suicide mention in the full song)

Narrator, (singing to the detectives): “Hush now, hide, all you little ones.
Rush now, into the middle of nowhere.
Singing and laughter will die.
Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King.
When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh.
Quiet, crawl to the in-between.
Silent, secretive feeling,
Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies.
You will bring joy to the Nowhere King,
When he sees the light leaving your eyes”
Arthur/orange detective: “That was lovely, Nara.”
Narrator: “Yes, yes it was. But don’t expect it every night.”

god i’m thinking about milky way and the galaxy girls and the villain being a personified black hole that’s basically eating the world. the fact that we have no idea what they would’ve looked like or what their vibe would’ve been KILLS ME, but now all i can think of is the nowhere king song from centaurworld:
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes

been thinking about cartoon!v again and needed to ramble about taba and a.rktos--
Tumblr media
as much as a wet cat a.rktos is in the show , the sentiment to him being this " primordial and unknowable entity of ice and hatred " IS PRESENT . . . except that its very much exaggerated . bastard's been tormenting greenland for centuries ( and there is a possibility that he was far more nefarious before taba was born ) , so old stories passed down for generations really played a major role in amping up the fear factor .
a.rktos really IS a bogeyman here , as most of his power and infamy deriving from that very fear . otherwise . . . he's just a petulant , overgrown bully with ice powers . taba's relationship with this a.rtkos starts out in the same sentiment as in main , but it doesn't take TOO long to figure out the truth .
that's where the dynamic dissolves to a more playful antagonism-- think peter pan and captain hook . what better way for a wild child to counter that stiff and tyrannical oppression of adulthood than with pranks and mischief ? and although the dragon babe is a genuinely sweet creature , the line of " lets teach this jerk a lesson " to " hey lets see how far we can push his buttons " can be pretty thin at times . . .
but it doesn't end there either . as t.abaluga matures , so do his views of the world and everyone around him . there's gonna be that moment of clarity where the kid realizes just how painfully alone his nemesis is and how similar their struggles really are . both were only kids when they lost their parents , both are following their " destinies ." but unlike taba , a.rtkos had no comfort left behind for him in dreams or stars . there was no respite to be given , no friends to be made . ( not that the selfish prick would know how , but i digress )
i believe that that should have been taba's arch with his nemesis-- from fearing and hating the foe , to playful antagonism , to empathy and possibly friendship . a bit like how we see our villains after we grow a little , huh ?

💿Santa~
1. Nowhere King from Centaurworld
This one is just a fun kind of silly one, but if you recall there's a sect of christmas elves who are uber loyal to Santa, satanists in a sense. This makes me think of a choir of little elf children singing a song one of the older satanist elves wrote about Santa.
"Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die
Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh
Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies
You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes"
Obviously he doesn't want to listen to a bunch of kids singing to him but he does agree with the representation I mean listen to those lyrics. Picture the animatic aspect being the choir interspersed with his evil deeds and Santa walking down a hall, his face is obscured until the last moment.
2. Almost Human by Voltaire
This song has some parallels to Santa and some to his father so I think this animatic would be about them both. Showing moments in their life that are connected in some way, Lucifer's fall, Santa's childhood. The verses relating to Lucifer and the choruses applying to him AND his son before converging in the last two paragraphs.
"I still remember your light It was streaming down And burning out my eyes If I were a big boy I wouldn't cry But since I'm not a big boy I'll have to close my eyes And picture what it's like"
"I'm just like you I'm made by him Despised by they I'm almost me I'm nearly human look at me I'm almost a human being"
and then the final bit
"There tears are real I'm jealousy I'm spite and hate To the core I'm mean I'm nearly human look at me I'm almost a human being I'm just like you Better than he To hell with they I'm almost me I'm nearly human Pity me I'm almost a human being
don't touch me I couldn't bear the thought of it now Don't touch me I couldn't bear the strength Don't touch me I couldn't bear the thought of it now Touch me touch me touch me Don't touch me touch me touch me"
If it's not clear it's partially about the fatherly relationship between Lucifer and G-d but for my purposes also about how the disillusionment of that relationship and Lucifer's relationship with humanity impacted his own son. I know it seems a little touchy feely for Santa but think about it with a more cyncial edge, a sardonicism.

The solar eclipse has passed. Yet, the supernova awaits.
Beware the sudden energy after the flames die down. Strain on a star shall cause it to burst, be it the heart or the body.
{Hush, now, why don't you little ones rush now. Into the middle of no-where, sleeping and laughter will die. Dreamless sleep follows the nowhere king, when his kingdom comes... darkness is nigh. Quiet. Crawl to the in-between silent, secretive feelings of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies. You will bring joy to the Nowhere King when he sees the light leaving your eyes.}
Don't let the light go out for too long.

Local Creative Breaks Ranting (again)
No rant today, folks! I've watched too much tumblr shorts
anyway
Not the reason I'm here! thats why theres no rant today :p
currently sitting here trying to remember my 2nd idea I walked into my room with sitting on my bed, and only having 1 idea in my head rn
said idea is what i'm going to present to the folks reading this rn
desperately trying not to forget it
Did you know I'm currently deep diving into the- well- not really into The Stanley Parable fandom
just the fanfiction side cofcofAO3cofcof
Anyway
I watched Ranboo's playthrough of it, I think I get the gist of it
ANYWAY!! so this randomly came to me while walking inside my house
what if: Nowhere King song AND The Stanley Parable?!?!?!
and now I desperately wanna draw it
I keep imagining scenes that I REALLY want to draw out or even half-animate
but I dont know how to half-animate so drawing it is
my mind keeps trying to make it into a tiktok
and just.. i dont think I could make it into a tiktok? It probably wouldnt do well
Oh well, tiktok is just a hobby I barf ideas into for maybe popularity if it works, it works if it doesn't, ok?
OKOK
LET ME GIVE YOU FOLKS SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT IM THINKING FOR THIS:
"Quiet, secretive feeling.." [Shows Stanley from a side profile, eyes cut off form the top so it's only from his nose to his torso. He opens his mouth ('quiet') then shuts it in a frown.]
"...of fearsome..." [Shows Stanley gulping nervously and tilting his head down a little]
"...hatred that..." [Camera pans down to show Stanley's fist on his side shaking and balled into a fist]
"...reaches the skies" [Camera pans up quickly (like 'flying' up?) and shows the Narrator looking down at a monitor(aka 'at Stanley')]
SEE WHAT I MEAN?? oh and I got another idea for the end of it, but I dont know exactly how it'll play out
just- the final line where it goes: "You will bring, joy to the nowhere King. When he sees the light, leaving your eyes"
I just know I HAVE to make that part the countdown ending Because I dont remember another ending where the Narrator openly gets happy seeing Stanley suffer I mean, I guess the wife ending would count maybe? but I dont think hes that malicious in that ending compared to the countdown ending
Anyway, so much for 'not a rant'
GOODNIGHT FOLKS!! Take a corndog on your way out!
