Hel Mary prints in 8x10 and 5x7 are officially available online!

These are a great option if you don’t want to spend the money on a physical piece, or may not have the space in your living or altar situation.

I’m still winding down from the market today, but I will start to add the newer physical pieces I have as soon as I can get some good pictures 🤍

Gotischen Adlerfibeln

This pair of so called “eagle” brooches, were found in Rhenen, the Netherlands. Their origin however comes from many kilometers away, either being Visigothic (Iberian Peninsula, broadly Spain) or Ostrogothic (Northern Italy to Ukraine).

The grave’s early date might suggest that this person was a first generation “immigrant”, having moved from the Gothic to Merovingian empire and lived a full life there.

Gothic brooches depict the bird with a round belly, open wings and a triangular tale, being symmetric from the neck down. The head in profile, faces to the side. A pair of brooches in this fashion face each other when being worn. They were worn on the shoulders and were most often heavily decorated in gold and garnet, but less intricate examples exist, such as this one.

MÖRKIJA

KINGDOM OF THE KAIJU

Daughter of Methuselah. Mörikja was once a shy and reserved person, devoted to her family and her people. Having fallen in love and marrying Æpellion, a pacifist musician, her relationship to her father became strained. Methuselah despised the boy, seeing him as an outsider who rejected their culture, who kept in the company of humans more than his own kind. Mörkija was torn, but she would not renounce her love no matter what her father said.

Their blissful union would not last much longer. War began between humanity and their former Kaiju protectors. The fist casualty of the war was Mörkija’s own mother, Ifeyja. With her family broken, her father fell down a path of hatred and vengeance. His rage turned to Æpellion whom he forced to fight. Threatening him with banishment, Æpellion conceded, not wanting to put Mörkija through anymore pain.

The war transformed him into a weary warrior, draining the bright wonder from eyes. He would die in battle, leaving behind a pregnant Mörkija. She broke, falling to insanity, abandoning her clan and swearing to destroy her father. Corrupted by dark forces she returned, killing thousands in her wake, Kaiju and humans alike. Methuselah faced his kin in battle, unable to take the life of his beloved daughter, he imprisoned her deep within the earth. She waits there, bound in eternal chains, a slumbering titan ready to exact a dark fate upon the world that took everything from her…

Upon the mountain's peak, a tale unfolds, Of heroes brave, who conquered old, A mythic land where legends dwell, In realms of fantasy, they excel. In ancient Greece, the gods did sway, Their tales of magic and of day, With Norse and Celtic whispers too, These heroes fought for you and me. A dragon's lair, a labyrinth's maze, A sea of ice, a world ablaze, Obstacles immense, they faced, And conquered all with might and grace. In rich text, this tale unfolds, Of heroes brave, the stories told.

The raven flies in the evening. It will have bad luck, for it can not have good.

If a raven eats the heart of an unburied king or chieftain that died in battle, the raven transforms into a valravn. This transformation gives the valravn great intelligence and superhuman strength, but it often turns them evil and manipulative as well. They are terrible creatures.

from Danske Sagn: Som De Har Lyd I Folkemunde. Image source.

TWST Story Idea (10)

Twisted Wonderland is a very unique world. Their world has magic, and they have different species living together, ranging from mages, beastmen, fae, merfolk, and so on.

Yuu's world had something like those, but obviously, that was just in a story, a fiction, a drawing on walls and pots. Something that almost all people heard of but did not believe in their existence. Which is understandable because Yuu's world is just humans and animals, and that's it. There are no werewolves, no vampires or mermaids, not even a dragon, and so on.

Yuu had been the type of person who always has been interested in these kinds of things: mythology, folklore, and cryptozoology, and maybe a little bit of history. That's what Yuu loves in the whole world.

They know many things and the history of how it came to be. You can ask Yuu if they know about skinwalker, and they'll put up a presentation that they prepared for years, which somehow leads to other cryptids. The Beast of Gévaudan? Yuu's got a conspiracy board with a bunch of pictures of animals to prove this beast is actually so and so and where it ran off to. They are also very knowledgeable about Greek mythology, followed by Norse, Aztec, and so on.

So imagine Yuu got transported to Twisted Wonderland and got the shock of their life when they saw a beastman. Yuu expected to see a furry animal standing on two feet, the face a mix with man and animal followed by animalistic growls and piercing eyes. Not… not a goddamn handsome man with a pair of ears and tails!

Sure, they had seen this type before, but that's on some people's fantasy that they have written and drawn! Yuu is absolutely stupefied when they're face to face.

Every time Yuu met a new species, Yuu didn't fail to feel disappointed in what they saw. The dragon by the name of Malleus got a human form that he likes to use, and that has the most ridiculously handsome face Yuu has ever seen. Where is the fire-breathing dragon? Where is the gold they hoard? The wings? Yuu is not satisfied with this.

Yuu met Hades next, who was hailed as one of the prominent seven figures seen as a hero or something, which just conflicted with what Yuu knows about the Hades of their world.

Yuu took a look at the multiple figures next to him like the Fairest Queen, the Queen of Hearts, Maleficent, and Ursula, and was astounded to see that they also were hailed as heroes. Their story is so much nicer than the original story Yuu read that at least, 2 out of 4 stated above died horribly if Yuu is not mistaken.

The dwarves are just toddlers that can speak perfectly, the eels from the Little Mermaid are humanified, what was supposed to be a werewolf is not a werewolf at all. The ghosts are all the same as though they are copy and pasted many times, some had different clothes. Yuu saw Grim, and they're not sure what he is, but he's cute, so that's alright.

Halloween comes, and Yuu is ready to be the most terrifying monster of them all, and they did, but that's because the rest dressed prettily and not terrifyingly like Yuu expected!

Where's the horror? Where are the screams of terror and the nightmare fuel appearance?? Yuu wanted to see someone getting traumatized, and all they got is sparkles and annoyance. Those magicam monsters must be stupid and blind to be scared of such pretty faces.

The only highlight of the Halloween was the Spectral realm like yes! The gloomy atmosphere is here! The graves! The very gothic architecture is everywhere! It was what Yuu imagined where the wandering and unrest souls will go.

It got crashed by a disco ball, though.

In short, Yuu didn't like it.

This world is sh*tty and against everything Yuu believed in. It's like meeting an idol you like so much and find that they are not the same as your expectation or something.

Dissatisfied, Yuu complained to themself, unaware that NRC heard it. "This is not what I imagined them to be. What a let down…"

Seeing that NRC are full of prideful kids, naturally, they get offended being told by a magicless human that Twisted Wonderland filled with wonder doesn't excite Yuu in any slightest.

Now this. This made Yuu perked up, but at the same time, Yuu is also offended that the others think their world is nothing special.

Yuu made up their mind to take it as a challenge. Yuu won't lose to these rip-offs of their world. They're gonna prove their world is superior, and that's Yuu's pride as a human being from that world.

Twisted Wonderland might have 7-8 prominent figures, but Yuu's world has more, although they may not exist today. Yuu is gonna show them how there's charm in being a mystery and history.

Yuu proceeded to drop snippets of a bunch of mythology, folklore, and cryptozoology randomly in the different places.

Yuu would go camping with the friends and said in his world there used to be a Wendigo roaming around in the woods. They would describe vividly about its appearance and how it eats flesh and the origin of how it came to be, taking sadistic delight when said friends looked at each other shakingly.

Yuu would mention out of nowhere about how beautiful people would have been sacrificed to the gods to a rather vain person and said it's lucky they are not in Yuu's world.

They even talked about Salem witch trials down to the details when a group of their friends has a fight or something. Magic doesn't involve in that, of course, but they looked terrified that even humans would accuse and execute their own kin. A very dark history indeed.

The mer eel would have threatened Yuu about squeezing and biting and so on, and Yu would drop a myth in their world about eating mermaid would bring immortality and maybe that's why they don't exist anymore.

They even mentioned casually that the faes would replace human kids with theirs and also kidnapped humans as pets. They can also be invisible to the eyes so no one would know or even find them.

The others are terrified to hear what story sprouted out of Yuu.

#twst #twst wonderland #twisted wonderland #disney twst #twst yuu #writing prompt #Malleus: we would never kidnap kids #Yuu*looks at Silver: No but...#sometimes you gotta put the boys in their place #and how you gonna do that?#you dominate them by telling all the tales your world have to offer #they gonna call Yuu weak???#yea check out the world where Yuu lived #all these gods and otherworldly beings and the humans triumphed #they get to tell the tales
