Hey everyone! I'm very exited to announce that Doomsday Paradise, the adventure dating sim I've worked on as illustrator, just launched!
I've worked on quite a few of the over 100 ending cards you can get in the game, together with a team of super talented illustrators. I hope you will enjoy collecting endings as much as I enjoyed drawing them! I wish I could share them here but they're all in-game spoilers, so have fun diving into the game to find them ;)
✨ Doomsday Paradise is available right now on Steam ✨

Will have art to post this weekend! Been chipping away at the Patreon and wanted to make a little update to my watermark to include it! The Patreon will also hopefully be launched this weekend as well, I mostly have some banner artworks and catch-up posts to prepare! For now it will have two paid tiers, a $3 tier for exclusive artwork and other posts going into detail on my creative process and a $7 tier that includes extra downloadable goodies (wallpapers, emoji/stickers, etc!). Both tiers will have early access to commissions, adoptables, and similar offerings as well!
If there's anything else you're interested in if you're interested in supporting through Patreon feel free to leave a reply or ask! I can't do physical rewards right at this moment but I wouldn't mind starting up something like a sticker club in the future!
Lastly here's a WIP of some new banner art I'm making! (with the old watermark lol) I hope you look forward to it!

(test mooze time aka slowly and carefully drops a natalya into my blog)
Tumblr media
BASICS
Name: Natalya Agafonova
Age: 33
Species: Human
Orientation: Mora (Questioning/Kinda-Not-Interested-In-This?)
Vision: N/A
Residence: Morepesok
Affiliation: Snezhnaya
Relations: Father & Mother, Yuri Kalashnik (Little Bro #1) Ajax Agafonov (Little Bro #2)  Tonia Agafonova (Little Sis) Anthon Agafonov (Little Bro #3) Teucer Agafonov (Little Bro #4)
FC: Lee “Yuki” Meixue from Rose Guns Days
APPEARANCE
Has long brown hair with a slight reddish tint that is worn open, though occasionally braided at times. In contrast to most of her family members with their blue eyes, her eyes are a lively forest green.
Of an average height for the women in her hometown, which generally speaking, is rather tall at 5′9″. Has a slender but healthy build, with a tendency to dress in bolder colors and fashionable styles that exhibit her natural beauty, albeit modestly. 
PERSONALITY
Having inherited her father’s bluntness and her mother’s intensity, she’s already a loud force to be reckoned with within her family. Add in her sharpness of mind and tongue alike, and she’s a walking devastation that no one in her little hometown wants to trouble, much less cross or even be in her way when she’s roving down the road.
Having aspired to run her own successful business - and currently being the owner of such, at the moment - she’s learned to be quite shrewd and detail-oriented, be it with numbers for the ledger or the words of traveling merchants stopping over in town. There is also a measure of stubborn determination that she seems to share with some of her family, as her current expertise in business was built over a long series of unfortunate ventures and mishaps that have caused her to shut down and restart her plans from scratch a handful of times now. These same experiences, however, have also nurtured a side of her that can view matters in a purely logical, purely callous way.
That said, when it comes to her family, she is nothing but affectionate—albeit in an occasionally overbearing, teasing way. This is because as she grew up, she was consistently impressed with the fact that as the oldest child to her growing gaggle of little siblings, she has to be a good role model to them. As such, she bears a great sense of responsibility for their wellbeing - cultivating in a rather potent streak of protectiveness to them as well, especially in the aftermath of little Ajax’s... incident. 
PROFILE
The oldest child of the Agafonov family in Morepesok, and the owner of Strelitzia - a flower shop that has seen some modest but nonetheless surprising success for the past few years in her equally modest town along the borders of Snezhnaya.
While being no more than a mere civilian with a normal life, lacking even a Vision to speak of, she makes up for her plain history with an outspoken personality and a barreling sort of force behind her decisions and actions. That, in addition to her decent knowledge of economy and its interrelated forces, makes her a formidable businesswoman that could rival the sharp mongers of Liyue.
The only thing that has been constantly stopping her until the past few years has been a ridiculously bad streak of bad luck from factors beyond her control - with everything from bad weather to sudden competition to disaster striking the middlemen, causing her business plans to unravel and go straight back to the drawing board. 
But even so, she is damned determined to run her own successful enterprise, and hopefully, her work as a florist is granting her that.
—Ah, and, coincidentally: she’s the older sister of the 11th Harbinger, Tartaglia.
RANDOM FACTS
She takes the occasional business trip throughout the year, traveling to other regions to meet with any partnering businesses, prospective clients from overseas, or other merchants that she is acquainted or wants to be acquainted with. She also uses these trips to assess the economic, political and social situation of other nations with her own eyes - though, otherwise, she is reliant on the hearsay and news fed by merchants passing through town.
As a florist, she is fairly knowledgeable about flora - be it their physical properties, practical uses, or their fanciful meanings. 
Having ran several types of different businesses beforehand, she also has a hodgepodge array of skills and knowledge - making her something of a Jack-of-all-trades in some aspects.
Has a very “””bad””” habit of putting all of her siblings - or even people she just feels close and affectionate with - into headlocks in lieu of hugs. She has been told many times to stop doing this. She will not stop.
Used to go hunting for game with her father and mother when she was younger. Her business ventures have since displaced this hobby and rusted her skills at it, but she won’t say no to a good challenge every now and then. 
Due to the above, she is slightly to moderately decent with a bow. But her eyesight for a good shot has and always will be very sharp.

i've already said this before but the way people talk about heaven and angels in this fandom is so warped. angels aren't inherently bad but heaven as an institution absolutely is! sorry! They're evangelicals! they're introduced as militaristic doomsday cultists who wish to sacrifice all of humanity so they can reach their ideal paradise. if you failed to pick up on the real world parallels that's on you.

To undo a mistake
Part 17/17 - previous.
Lena x Bayern Player!reader
Tumblr media
You hated the way you had ended the conversation. You knew this time you were in the wrong. And being irrational about the situation.
Above all you knew your true feelings, and the fear of giving yourself away.
The last three days were a bliss. You were enjoying your own little world. You hadn't been hit yet by reality or facts.
You hadn't faced the outside bubble, where real consequences existed.
Where people could look at you and make their remarks. Where you had to remember the reason you were so scared of opening up to her once again.
Right now you were under the hot shower, trying to feel a little less frustrated. Trying to think of what to say and where to go from here.
Be honest to yourself, but let it go? Or be honest to yourself and accept the possibilities ahead?
You got out of the shower, and as soon as you were done putting on your clothes, you heard the door bell ring.
Knowing exactly who it was. She had a hard expression on your face. Trying her hardest to not let her feelings through.
"I'll help you take everything to the car."
"I don't need your help."
But she clearly did. Looking over to what she had left there, it seemed to multiply the more time they were left there.
So, ignoring her words you grabbed a few things to carry down.
The elevator down felt like you were about to arrive at doomsday. Like you were about to reach an end, that was abruptly put in front of you, when you finally felt close to paradise again.
Mustering up the courage you still had in you, to look up at her.
A single tear made it's way down her face.
That one hurt, like a thousand knives had pierced through you.
Like you, Lena felt like this could be the last time. Despite all her love, and all the changes you both had gone through, it still wasn't enough to fix what was broken.
Or was it?
Rain was pouring down as you made the way to Lea's car.
You didn't remember seeing any dark clouds earlier that day. Much like your relationship, the day started sunny, but ended up in a bad weather.
You put the stuff on the trunk and made the way up once again, to retrieve the last of her things.
You made a mess everywhere you walked by. Water dripping from your clothes, your hair fully wet.
And you got in the elevator together, for the last ride.
Or was it?
As you both started to make your way on the side walked you simply stopped dead in your tracks. That caught her attention, as she had let you walk in front of her.
"Stop." - you said in a whisper barely audible. If she wasn't facing you, and seeing your lips move she wouldn't even be able to notice.
"What?" - she said loudly, so she could be heard over the sound of rain hitting the ground and shaking up the trees.
"I'm not doing this again."
She looked at you questioning, but didn't dare to say a word.
"I'm not letting you go again, Lena." - this time setting what ever it was you were holding, down. - "I love you Schatz." - walking into her arms. Your own tears now mixing with the rain droplets.
"I love you, Liebling." - she said pulling you in for a kiss.
But this time it wasn't a painful kiss, like you used to share when one of you was leaving. Or a desperate kiss you give her every time you got to see her again, because you couldn't hold back after being apart, even if it was only for a couple days.
"Please let's go inside. We'll get everything from the car later."
"Lea is going to kill me for leaving her without a car."
But she followed you in nonetheless.
"We need to get out of these clothes before we catch a cold."
"Yes ma'am."
And once more just like the weather you were able to pass through the rain, and use your love as a sun, to warm each up and make a rainbow shine through at the end of it all.

𝐎𝐈𝐋 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 | READ ON AO3
˚ · .─ 𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒: YOU, a college student in Frankfurt, start receiving emails that embarked the dim of normalcy you worked so hard to build on your own; starting from a message claiming you as the light amidst the hell of Kinderheim, who came just in time to bring a paradise of doomsday and grime, something that pleased the monster inside him. Initially, you thought of reporting the email as spam until another ding came: the monster, so pleased and full, is aiming to return the favor—something to flesh out the paradise you had granted him back at Kinderheim.

SNIPPET . . .
"Kinderheim 511, hm," the mighty Detective Lunge sipped his tea languidly, pretending to ponder about it when he already figured it out even before bothering to see you. "Well, as the legends say, hatred is created when people gather and this Johan just took advantage of it. But see, it's all thanks to the one who'd bother giving him—a measly little kid—some oil to light everything up, don't you think so?"
You gulped, trying your best not to stammer. For reasons still unknown, even the mere mention of that institution churns your stomach in huge disdain and apprehension. "Who would give Johan such privilege?" 
"Who else?" the detective quipped then called your name, just as if everything was nothing but an amusing tea time story for him, just as if it's not something imperative in finding who you are, of who Johan really is, and why—despite the familiarity of fear etched in his name and  your survival instincts kicking in—you can't stop drawing yourself closer to him. "That's when you enter the picture, young lady."

Trigun Bookclub: Some Very Long-Winded Final Thoughts (for now)
So what's my takeaway after all this discussion about the allusions to religious concepts and narratives in Trigun? What conclusions does the story draw about faith? And are there any theological ramifications to its message?
From my perspective, the belief system Trigun promotes is a broadly defined humanism that isn't bound by any religious tradition. Declarations of faith in this story are more often directed at individual people or humanity as a whole than toward a god or metaphysical concept. Trigun says that the purest and most fundamental faith is our belief in one another and in our collective capacity for good, and the specifics of any one person's faith are worth pursuing so long as it keeps them in the business of living and engaging compassionately with other sentient beings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Trigun's larger thesis on faith, there's also a notable emphasis on the drive for continued life and hope for a future that can be built in the present world as opposed to glorifying death in the service of grandiose ideals, especially if those ideals center on seeing the world as irredeemable and in need of destruction. And it's through this message of continued striving in the here and now that I think Trigun brings up its own point of contention against a particular theological perspective. What we have in Trigun is a firm rejection of apocalypticism.
According to the Critical Dictionary of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements, apocalypticism is the "belief in the impending or possible destruction of the world itself or physical global catastrophe, and/or the destruction or radical transformation of the existing social, political, or religious order of human society—often referred to as the apocalypse." In Christianity, this perspective is clearly seen in futurist interpretations of the book of Revelation (the Greek root word for apocalypse - apokalypsis, means revelation or unveiling). This eschatological approach treats the text as a prophetic outline of the end of the world in which God brings judgment through a series of cataclysms and then secures an everlasting paradise for the faithful.
Revelation 21:1-4 (NRSV):
(1) Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. (2) And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (3) And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them: they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; (4) he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away."
As we all know, Knives loves to position himself as a bringer of divine judgment in the same vein as the Abrahamic God.
Tumblr media
To Knives, humans are a source of evil that have to be purged from his world; salvation for his chosen people (plants - the higher beings) can only come through mass death. The realization of Knives' apocalypse is doomsday for humankind. No surprise then that in his followers (some of whom revere him like a deity), we see the sentiments of a doomsday cult. To Legato, service to the supreme being is his sole purpose in life; if Knives commands him to die, then he'll die gladly. For Elendira, the most glorious service to the supreme being is to facilitate his vision for the end of the world, and she wants nothing more than to see it happen. And in Chapel, we see the cruelty and cynicism promoted by the apocalyptic mindset: If the end is inevitable, then all efforts to protect what we have in this world are futile, so what value is there in choosing to be merciful?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The immense harm dealt by real religious groups that hold similar beliefs to these is difficult to overstate. So long as any atrocity in the temporal world can be justified when committed in deference to what are taught to be higher spiritual principles, there are no ethical boundaries these groups won't transgress. Japanese society in recent history has, in fact, had significant experiences with violent apocalyptic fanaticism. The most well-known of these occurred on March 20, 1995, in which the doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo carried out its deadly sarin gas attack in the Tokyo Metro subway system. An act of religious terrorism left many dead and thousands injured, all because some people were convinced the world was ending, and it was to their benefit and everyone else's benefit if they could make it end faster.
The doctrine of Aum Shinrikyo was a mishmash of Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian concepts, and Christian eschatological views on Armageddon were especially influential to cult leader Shoko Asahara's prophecies in the time leading up to the attack. Common threads in books of the Christian Bible with apocalyptic elements include emphasis on the corrupting nature of the present world and promises of eternal unity with God after a final war in which Christ emerges victorious against all evil. These ideas are also disconcertingly influential in mainstream American Evangelical Protestant Christianity. Even in the most nonviolent Christians who would never dream of associating with extremists, it's not hard to find an underlying cynicism and detachment with regard to living life in the present. There's the notion that the world is fundamentally broken and sinful, and believers should look forward to God's destruction and remaking of it, because perfect happiness can only come in the thereafter.
1 John 2:15-17 (NRSV):
(15) Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world, (16) for all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches—comes not from the Father but from the world. (17) And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God abide forever.
From such a perspective, hope is primarily oriented toward some indefinite point in the future that will come to pass via the eradication of every imperfection that marks the present. What happens in the story of Trigun, however, is an overturning of the apocalyptic narrative. The climax of Trigun Maximum invokes the fantastical imagery of Revelation, creating the impression of a stage set for the definitive final battle between the embodiments of good and evil, but then the story pushes back against the narrative conventions of apocalypticism. There is no end of days, no destruction and re-creation of the world, because it was averted by radical human hope for compassionate understanding in the here and now. And there is no ultimate triumph of Good over Evil in which Satan is cast into the lake of fire. In fact, there may not even be a "Satan" in this story at all.
When Knives collects his sisters into an amalgamated body, his form and theirs take on a draconic appearance, bringing to mind the red dragon of Revelation (that is, Satan). In Knives' own mind, however, he's God pouring out his divine wrath on the humans who've sinned against him, and there are angelic elements to his design as well to reflect this. Ultimately, his form doesn't hold. Vash and his human allies manage a breakthrough in communicating with the collective body of dependent plants, and when Knives is cast to the earth (in another departure from Revelation, this doesn't occur as the outcome of heavenly forces battling against him), he faces Vash one last time as just a man - Vash's brother who's lashing out because he never processed his extreme childhood trauma. Because maybe in the end these forces of absolute good and absolute evil don't exist; maybe our willingness to imagine God and the Devil was always the product of our own messy, conflicted humanity in all its potential for good and evil.
The resolution, then, happens not through one brother killing the other, but through connection and understanding, a little push toward a kinder existence for everyone. Knives ends up having to place his trust in the very humans he hated in order to save his brother's life, and his faith is rewarded. For Vash and the rest of humanity, life goes on; it goes on in an imperfect present, but it's a present where there's plenty of joy to be found nonetheless. So the story closes out under a bright blue sky with the assurance that the song of humanity still sang. There's no looming threat of doomsday, just a path forward toward more life.
