Pridewrite P5~ Occult

Takes place almost a decade ago for my OC timelines, so Shirki* is technically a pre/mid transition character who's since socially transitioned as transmasc and named themself Enoby. As of the time of this fic they use they/them and go by their middle name.

~

"Quiet, quiet…"

Shirki went up to assure their aunt that yes, everything was fine, they were telling spooky stories and she absolutely didn't need to worry, the basement was fine for a sleepover…

Meanwhile, Delia enlisted Zadkiel's help in arranging candles around their set up and allowed him to light it with a holder he'd lifted from his parents shabbat drawer, hand waving the questions about if it was necessarily "respectful" since they had spares.

"You're absolutely sure it's nothing to use them to summon the dead?"

"I'll bury them in salt or something afterwards. You want these lit or no?"

She rolled her eyes and focused on the other task at hand, polishing the main event of the night; a smooth wooden board with careful black lettering.

The planchette it had come with had been discarded in favor of a small loop of metal Shirki was currently spinning between their fingers, and as they finally came down from assuaging their aunt's worries they flopped down on the empty sleeping bag to watch them prepare. "If your parents don't want blasphemed candle sticks I'll take them."

"Not in Yesenia's house you won't."

"Oh so your parents can have cool cursed shit but my aunt's too good for it?"

"Yes, duh."

Delia flicked Zadkiel's ear and pinched the candle in the holder out. "Anyway, shall we?"

Careful to leave the standing candles undisturbed, they all sat around the Ouija board and each placed their hands on the metal loop, and Delia spoke in a low, steady voice to call out to any spirits present that would be so kind as to answer them. And then they waited. And waited.

Zadkiel rattled the loop. “Hello? It’s a yes or no question--”

“Hush.”

“What, it’s not exactly--”

“You shook out ‘hush’.” Shirki replied, nonchalant.

Delia chuckled. “Even the board doesn’t want to hear you talk.”

“It’s a coincidence!” He protested. “You ask it a question, see what it says to you.”

Still snickering, she drummed her fingers over the loop while she tried to think of something. “Hmmm… Will I marry a beautiful girl someday?”

The circlet rattled again, all three side eyeing each other to see who’d own up to the movement, but after shaking over the stenciled letters it slid smoothly to no. Now it was Zadkiel’s turn to laugh and Delia swore at him and stubbornly crossed her arms. 

Shirki rolled their eyes. “I might skip on mine, I don’t exactly want to be dragged by dead people.”

“Oh please, you’ve got to figure something out, no?” Zakiel asked.

They scoffed. “Even if I wanted to, I don’t really think I’m gonna get anything sure out of a game board.”

“Oh? What would impress you then?”

Shirki lifted their hands off, nudging Zadkiel’s knee to get him to do the same. “Now ask something.”

“It doing nothing would impress you?” Delia asked, tilting her head. 

“It doing anything would.” They confirmed. “The metal thingy is your dad’s right? It ought to do something.”

Veritably unimpressed, Delia propped up her good leg and leaned against her knee. “Of course, smart ass spirits are definitely to make a spectacle for you.”

Zadkiel opened his mouth to give his own two cents, but before he could share the candles guttered, bathing the trio in blinking lights before erupting in a unified shower of sparks that fell onto and caused the board to begin smoking.

Shirki lurched forward and dumped a glass of ice water on the board, and as it went out so did the candles, pitching the basement in darkness.

“...You had to open your big mouth.”

“I didn’t even do anything this time!”

“I mean Mx. ‘Anything would impress me’.”

“Oh. Yeah Shirki--”

“Oh, be quiet.” Flipping on a torch, Shirki examined the board, noting that while they hadn’t seemed so bad initially the board was littered with deep scorch marks, though not anywhere near the resting loop. Charred wood made itself evident around letters ‘B’, ‘E’, ‘N’, ‘O’, and ‘Y’. 

Zadkiel traced them out himself. “Are they saying there's bones in here? I thought that was an American thing.”

“Boney with a ‘Y’,” Delia corrected, then frowned and looked down. “Actually that doesn’t make any more sense? The hell…”

“Obviously it’s ‘No Bye’.” Shirki snorted and clicked off the torch. “Smart ass spirits, guess you were right Delia.”

Zadkiel poked at the board. “Are we not gonna focus on them trying to burn down the building though? At all?”

Laying back down, Shirki scooted their sleeping bag further back from the board. “Why?”

“Like. At least get out the salt. Iron. Something.”

“It can wait til morning.” 

Huffing, Zadkiel dismantled the candlesticks himself and shoved them-- along with as much of the board as he could manage, into the deep freezer plugged in near the staircase. For good measure he left his magen david on the handle, not sure how that would work but figuring it couldn’t hurt anything else.

Delia mumbled something sounding awfully sarcastic, but she was drifting off to sleep so quickly she fumbled off her prosthetic leg and clumsily set it next to her sleeping bag before her head hit the pillow. Not sharing her sudden drop of adrenaline, Shirki propped up their head on the side of their cot closest to Zadkiel and stared while he got himself down to sleep.

“Think I can pull it out in the morning and ask for name ideas?”

“I’ll give you a full list of names if we can just bury it in the dumpster first thing.”

“Can we buy a new one?”

“Goodnight--”

Prompt: Occult (#pw5)

There's something to be said for queering horror, and if someone were to make something dissecting the link between the presence of the other in horror vs queer themes then it would be very exhiting to behold. Something depicting the supernatural or mystical phenomena lightheartedly will be equally exciting.

Prompt: Cryptids (#pw alt5)

Hunt for bigfooot or flirt with mothman - there's lots of speculative sightings to speculate on!

PRIDE PROMPT: Occult

Walking in the streets alone at night is usually unsettling for a lot of people; almost no one to be seen wherever you looked, your only company being the street lights that flicker now and then, with the dark alleyways that could have muggers or gangsters lurking on them just waiting for their next victim.

Walking in the streets alone at night, especially in a dangerous neighborhood, would just raise your chances of meeting the Grim Reaper.

Unless you're Phoul, unfazed by this kind of atmosphere as he continues to stroll through the dead streets.

In a very literal sense. There are a plethora of ghosts drifting across the pavement, wandering souls that had died in his neighborhood. If you tried to look closer at their spectral forms, you’d somewhat be able to make out their features. They all wonder about the streets; moving along as if they were pedestrians out on a midnight walk like him, believing they were still alive.

As the saying goes: ignorance is bliss, Phoul thought. He recalled his past encounters with the dead, the ones that woke up from their bliss. How the realization that they were dead broke the ones that couldn’t handle it, turning them into wrathful shades. For the ones that could, they just became a little bit more lost but relatively sane. It’s better if the dead stayed ignorant, for the sake of their sanity.

He continued to stroll through the damp sidewalk, watching the ghosts glide past him as if they were on a normal day, on a normal stroll. He made sure to avoid hitting any of them as he walked, he didn’t want to deal with explaining how he was able to faze through a ‘person’.

Phoul ceased his walking, turning his head towards the alleyway beside him, and stared at the small spectral figure hunched over itself.

The spirit looked to be a young boy, somewhere around 7 years old, that was curling in on itself, crying. The ghost was murmuring something—it’s hard to tell what they’re saying at times since when a ghost speaks it sounds as if multiple, whispering voices are speaking all at once, but from what he could tell it had something to do with “mommy”.

Phoul sighs deeply, and walks over to the child specter, crouching down to get to its level. “Hey, kid.” He starts, observing how the child tenses at his tone. “Where are your parents?” He already knows the answer.

The specter lifts his head a bit from his fatal position, rubbing his eyes—which is unnecessary since ghosts can’t cry, but the kid doesn’t know that—and looks at Phoul hesitantly. “I-I don’t know… I was, I was just with them…’’ The specter’s voice was shaky, making it even harder to understand, but Phoul didn’t need to. This wasn’t the first time he encountered the ghost of a dead child.

“Well, I can try to help you find them,” Phoul said, standing back up. “Better than doing it alone, don’t you think?” The kid tilted his head up, suspicion readable across its incorporeal face.

“Mom said not to trust strangers…”

“Name’s Phoul. Now I'm not a stranger.”

The specter still looked unconvinced. Phoul sighed, turning his back to the kid, and began walking away. “Go ahead and be suspicious. You’re not my problem anyway. Good luck trying to find your mom, kid.”

He felt more than saw the kid move, getting up from its fatal position and gliding to his side at rapid speed. He snorted a bit at the action. “Now you’re willing to follow me?” he asked, glancing at the kid from the corner of his eye.

The presumed 7-year-old pouted, fiddling with his fingers. “I still don’t trust you, but…” he hesitated, “I don’t wanna be alone, so I guess you can help…” the kid trailed off.

He didn’t really care if the specter trusted him or not, and began walking the streets yet again, not bothered to say anything else. He didn’t need to look back to know that the kid was following him.

Phoul knows they won’t find the parents, they were most likely nowhere close to where the two were. The specter thinks that it was only separated from them for a few minutes when in reality it could’ve been weeks, months, or even years since then.

So he just keeps walking, and in a few hours, the kid will fade back into what is essentially the ghost’s version of unconsciousness and forget that this ever happened.

Occult

The second Helena first tried on that oversized, hand-me-down, over-worn funeral dress when her and her sister were sifting through their aunts’ things, the world stopped. It looked awful and looking back she can never believe she would wear it, but that first taste of black, dark, goth, it changed everything about her style. She found so much of herself, and as she expanded her wardrobe with new desires she only became more comfortable with her own image.

Now an adult, living with her fiancé in their own home, she would look in the mirror to see herself. Her skin was just as dark as ever, but was now laced with blue koi fish tattoos along her arms. Some times her hair was a dyed a dark blue, but at the time her natural black hair was let free and curling, the roots grown out and mixing with the dyed. She loved her mascara tears and black smoky eyes, dark natural lipstick and silver jewelry. At the moment she had in silver stud earrings and a thin grey fabric chocker on, a few rings on along with her engagement ring and a pentagram necklace. Her dress was full length but thin, a skin-tight leotard of sorts on underneath the sheer fabric for the skirt. The sleeves were the same sheer and were loose fitted, cuffing at the end.

Helena always got a treat when she could get Deven just as dressed up for their date nights. He preferred a more traditional suit and tie, with his preferred gold jewelry, but tonight she convinced him to match with her. Her wore a similarly billowy shirt, the upper buttons undone to show his chest and the furthest in corners or is top surgery scars. His dress pants were high wasted and embroidered with a rusted gold thread, a pattern of feathers and triple slashes. His make-up was similarly smoky with accenting yellow eyeliner and small yellow gems were applied. He also wore his engagement ring, paired with a gold cross necklace.

Their date night started as the sun was setting, with reservations one of the fanciest restaurants in their town, not all that busy with locals and more tourists away on holiday. The restaurant was overpriced, but the waterfront location, the live music, and the open skyline was so romantic it was quite the attraction. Folks who were from away and were unfamiliar with the couple always stared at the extravagant clothing they wore, but the staff always appreciated their patronage. Helena was an exceptionally good tipper and they both had great patience with the new servers.

Bonus tonight since we haven’t had a proper Kiku post in a while and a pending draft made me think of this. If you didn’t know, Kiku’s made it into a One Piece game. Her, Kin, & Oden are a DLC pack for Pirate Warriors 4. Really feel her and Kin should have just been base game since it includes early Wano...but whatever. I used Tashigi mostly in PW3 and fittingly, Kiku really plays as a better Tashigi. With ice elemental attacks. And she’s accurately sized so you get the benefit of being comically huge which I enjoy.

It’s fun to play as her, and I’ve long been a fan of these Koei Warriors series games in moderation. Giving them a One Piece spin is a natural touch. Which gets us to the fun part...her lines. These games always have a lot of fun little special lines characters linked in the source material will say to each other. Gives a lot of fun teasers for what if scenarios. DLC character means you don’t get others referencing her directly but it’s cute what she says about some... 

My favorite is the “beautiful” aspect. Because that’s part of her reputation, we get some for Cavendish and Hancock. First, y’all are gonna love the sapphic energy radiating off her lines towards Boa. Pretty bland though. Just “you’re as strong as you are beautiful, amazing!” type things. It is hilarious to see petrified Kiku with big heart eyes popping out. Cavendish? “Your pursuit of beauty has led to a failure to pursue strength.” 

You obviously get fun ones for the big flashy Okama. Iva’s cute, “The ability to change ones sex, what a marvelous sorcery!” Bon’s is the better one to me though. A little more reserved delivery, uses her confused face icon, “The way that you dress...where does your heart lie?”

There is also one neat trick they pulled for other characters addressing her. Sure, they didn’t re-record a bunch of new lines for base roster faces, but they had a smart little backdoor. The Whitebeard Captains always have a special one or two for Luffy. The ones that don’t name Ace or him they’ll say to Kiku as well! I give an audible daww every time.

You get that and more out of the game + DLC package. I like her big special following up with the cute Bakura “Oh, why did I just do that?” and donning the mask as a transformation ability is so satisfying. She also gets in on a cool little Iai style mechanic a few swordsmen share.

I'm now watching Bad's purgatory 2 kidnapping,and with the single worker that kidnapped him. All I can imagine is this dialogue

*like 7 purgatory workers on kunchbreak. Sitting down at cafeteria tables and filling their coffee*

PW1 (Dan): ugh, I'm on kidnapping duty for Quesadilla island

PW2: don't complain, Daniel. I'm still on shadow virus cleanup.

Dan: let's hope for an easy target

PW3: oh no.. *sucks teeth* Badboyhalo. He's that 9 foot Demon dude.

PW4 (Craig): ah shit, sucks to be you, Danny

Dan: shut up, Craig. Don't call me that. Isn't Badboyhalo, like, the strongest creature on the island? He is an End demon. What weapons do I even bring?! Or do I just die!?

Craig: nah, Bad's not bad. He doesn't even swear, he just has endless wit. Watch out for his smart ass, not his power.

PW5: isn't he the one who kidnapped Ron?

*SILENCE*!

Craig: ... you're dead.

Dan: AND YOURE NOT HELPING

I'm sorry xD I can't get this out of my head

Light-fast? My pigment is a fugitive and ran away with the sun!

Okay, okay, you're about to be subjected to one of my favourite topics, so if you have no interest in traditional art and why some stuff fades away (quite literally) then move along.

But if you're like me, and you want to know more about pigments vs dyes and why your pink thing has over time become a white thing, keep reading…

So, my interest, aka my dive into the rabbit hole that is lightfastness, started way back when I made a friend a bright pink thing (cheap student grade acrylic paint on canvas board) , they hung it up in their window, and it slowly turned into a white thing.

Gasp! Shock! Horror!

No really, I was slightly traumatized, simply because I was about to start selling my artwork and if it was going to fade away in the space of a year odd, then I was going to have a big problem. I mean, you can't sell art and then tell people they must keep it in a dark place and only observe it under moonlight. Well okay you probably could if you marketed it right, but I'm terrible at marketing and the idea of someone coming back to complain about the art disappearing gives me anxiety.

So I went on a hunt to find out WHY.

So let's talk about pigments vs dyes and what fugitive pigments are, and why artist grade is so much more expensive than student grade.

What's the difference between pigments and dyes?

Think of paint made from pigments as a suspension, finely ground up particles are suspended in a medium, much like mixing sand into water. If you let a sandy water mix sit for long enough the sand particles will sink to the bottom and separate from the water. Pigment based paint sits on the surface of your canvas or paper (yep even watercolours, the paper gets wet, but when it dries the pigments are sitting on the surface, they haven't sunk in and bonded with the paper). Pigment based paint is more inclined to be opaque.

Paint made from dyes are a solution, very very finely ground particles are dissolved into a medium and change their chemical makeup, you can let them sit as long as you like and they won't separate. Dyes sink into the surface of the paper or canvas. Dyes are naturally transparent. Dyes are used for fabric precisely because they sink into the surface and bond with it.

So, those fugitive pigments huh?

I'll start with the kicker, dyes, by their very nature, are fugitive. Let me explain that a bit more - dyes are a solution, they have chemically bonded with the medium and because of this chemical change they are much more vulnerable to UV light, to the point they can completely disappear. Alcohol markers are a prime example of this. This is also why clothing fades over time.

Any fluorescent colour is fugitive. Don't ask me why, they just are.

So what about pigments? Well, if you mix them with oil, pretty much all the pigments will manage to stick around, oil creates a protective coating that shields the pigments from UV light.

Not so with other mediums though, so some pigments will fade over time. As paint companies have become aware of this, they have tried to find alternative pigments that are light-fast and you will find a light-fast rating on good brands of paint.

The white factor.

White tends to be opaque and is very light-fast, it's usually PW6 pigment for titanium white and PW5 for zinc white, which is also known as the mixing white and is supposedly less opaque - personally I can't tell the difference.

So, white, all good, gonna use white which is light-fast and this tube of red which is also listed as light-fast and make pink, no worries right? Wrong.

Mixing white into other pigments can make them less light-fast. Why???? I hear you scream.

It's to do with (someone correct me if I'm wrong but this is my understanding) the fact white reflects light, so as soon as you mix another pigment into white, not only is the concentration of the pigment reduced, it's also at the mercy of all that extra light. Some pigments are naturally very light-fast anyway and being mixed with white won't be much of an issue.

Avoiding the known fugitive pigments is a good start to ensuring your artwork is going to stick around for the long haul, of course painting in oils is more of a guarantee but not everyone can be bothered with the mess.

So, artist grade vs student grade?

In general artist grade paint will have a light-fast rating, list the pigments used AND most importantly they will contain much more pigment and better quality pigments than cheaper paints. More pigment means stronger more vibrant colours, you need less paint to cover a surface, there are no fillers like chalk to make the paint opaque and the quality of the pigments is higher. Basically when you buy artist grade paint you are paying for the pigments used, you're more likely to find single pigment paints and the pigments are more likely to be light-fast.

Of course oil paint can pretty much ignore this, buy whatever works for you, it's not going to matter much.

What about student grade? Well, student grade from a reputable brand may still give you a list of pigments and a light-fast rating, you can feel pretty assured that the paint will perform as required, but the pigments will be cheaper and less concentrated. If, like me, you have found yourself utterly annoyed you can't get a vibrant enough look from your student grade paint no matter how much you apply, then this is why, it simply doesn't have the same amount of pigment as the artist grade in the same brand does. While the artist grade is more expensive, my personal findings with watercolours are that I use much less of it because it is more pigmented, so it works out more cost effective in the long run.

Student grade will often substitute an original pigment for a 'hue', like 'cadmium red hue' which is a replication of the colour and doesn't actually contain the cadmium red pigment. So you get a lower cost pigment in a lesser concentration.

Student grade paint generally won't be as concerned with using light-fast pigments, so you're more likely to find less permanent pigments and also pigment mixtures rather than pure single pigment paints.

What's the difference between single pigment and mixed pigment? Glad you asked. It's the mud factor, we've all mixed paints together and come out with a sludgy grey muddy colour right? Mixed pigment paints when they contain multiple pigments are more likely to give you dull muddy colour when you mix them with other paints, simply because mixing complimentary colours together will give you a neutral grey. (Stares hatefully at reeves watercolours, my first experience with mud production and chalkiness)

Single pigment paints are easier to mix vibrant colours with.

What about student grade, or ungraded paint from non recognized brands? Well, generally they make up their own names for the colours, they give you no pigment or light-fast rating (though many claim to be light-fast, they show no actual ratings and can't be trusted) and they can often contain dyes as well as fugitive pigments, because they are cheaper to use. They will contain a lot of fillers and less pigments, and can be harder and more frustrating to use. It's not always the case of course, but in general you get what you pay for.

Finally, designer mediums vs art mediums.

Or - was never intended to last vs meant to be hung on a wall.

Some currently popular and commonly used mediums were never intended for preservation. They were created for design, be it architecture, fashion design, magazine illustrations or other things that were made to be photographed and then reproduced in print.

Prime examples of this are alcohol markers and gouache. They were never ever intended to be light-fast, they were made for quick execution and reproduction, the original was often just thrown out.

Gouache, because it dries fast and is matte makes it perfect for both quick turnaround illustrations and reproduction. The matte surface makes photography easy without any worries about reflected light messing up the image. It was used extensively in the magazine and printed periodical industry.

Alcohol markers were more aimed at the design industry.

Gouache, by it's very design tends to still be very inclined to use fugitive pigments, Windsor & Newton do have some with high light-fast ratings, but you have to read the labels carefully and if you use the paint as a wash it's still going to say goodbye faster than it should (it's the white factor again, this time it's the white of the paper).

Alcohol markers, as I've said before, are dye based, and are highly fugitive. (Do I get mad when people sell original art done in alcohol markers, yeah, a little bit, I feel bad for the person buying it who presumably wants to put it on the wall and it IS going to fade away. I don't see anything wrong with selling the artwork, markers have their own charm and the effects are quite unique, but you should at least warn people that it's fugitive)

Most calligraphy inks designed to go inside pens are dye based and will fade. (Gel writing pens too, even in closed books that will fade drastically, ask me how I know!) (Pigment based ones tend to clog so are reserved for dip pens and brushes, and are usually mixed with shellac to make them waterproof. )

Don't be put off using these mediums, they are great fun to play around with, just be aware that they are not designed to be exposed to light for long periods of time are best for reproduction as prints.

Can you enhance the lightfastness of a painting?

Yep, put it behind glass (perspex is even better?). I think it's possible to find UV resistant varnish too, but don't quote me on that, I haven't seen any myself. I don't think this is a reliable method for dye based art though sadly, while watercolours behind glass will last longer, some dyes can fade away even without light on them (see the gel pen experience)

Can you do your own lightfastness test on your mediums?

Sure can, as long as you have a control swatches kept in a dark place, you can put swatches in direct sunlight and compare them to the ones you kept in the dark to see how much they have faded and how long it took. Some will show no signs of fade even after a year of direct sunlight, some might disappear completely, it will depend on the pigments.

So there you have it, the lowdown on the difference between pigments and dyes, why your medium of choice makes a difference to how long your artwork will last and what makes artist grade what it is.

By • Olalekan Fagbade Man sentenced to life in Prison for taking turn to defiling two teenage Girls The Akwa Ibom State High Court sitting in Eket has sentenced a 37-year-old man, Uduak Moses Idimudo, to life imprisonment for raping two teenagers in the Eket LGA of the state. The police prosecutor told the court that the suspect lured the teenagers, aged 14 and 15, into his room on the pretext of giving them change for the fried cow skin meat he brought from them, but he instead took turns to rape them on two occasions and still refused to give them their change, threatening to kill them if they disclosed to anyone. While giving her testimony, one of the victims said they met the defendant on the road in Efoi in July 2020, when he bought meat worth N700 from them and told them to accompany him to his room to get the money or that they should go and sell the meat and come back. She stated that on their way home, they went back to his house as he directed them to collect their money, but that he insisted that they must follow him into his room, which they did. She said he pushed her and her friend on his bed and removed their pants and inserted his penis inside their vaginas and after that gave them N350 instead of the N700 he owed them. She further told the court that they went home without telling their parents and that one month after, in August 2020, they went back to Idimudo’s house for the balance of their money where he took turns raping each of them again and did not pay the debt and asked them to come back again. She explained that the convict adopted the same procedure and raped them severally between July 2020, and April 2021, until his neighbour, a woman, who noticed them on a monthly basis inside his house, reported the incident to their parents. Justice Efiong Efiong of the court said, “I believe the testimonies of PW 1 and PW 5 (the victims) as corroborated by the confessional statement of the defendant and the medical reports of evidence of forceful penetration of vaginas of PW 1 and PW5.” Justice Efiong described the defendant as “a despicable character who is worse than an untrained animal and does not deserve to be left free in the community of decent people. “That the defendant could keep raping two minors naked on his bed and raping them in their open view shows that he is a dirty, wicked, and satanic person who has no regard for the law and morals.”
