Since I'm almost at the end of my 16h shift, I would like to ask how a personal hell of FMO (and perfumare) cast would look like? Retail job? Visiting Disneyland mayhaps?
Also hi, it's been a while hope u are doing great ♥️
I love how you just listed mine one after the other lmao. Okie tho let’s go:
FMO:
Lotár’s funny bc for them hell is not being able to use their intellect in full and have it appreciated, so like they will out themselves as being untrustworthy just because they want people to know they are being manipulated? Like they want to scheme and be recognized, so the scheme usually fails bc of that
Rez’s hell is watching Mirren take everything from them even tho Rez wants it and Mirren doesn’t even care
Mirren’s hell is watching MC with Mastravisch
Saltire’s hell is being unable to go back home even though their home is just out there, waiting
Malitiose’s hell is remembering more than other people and always feeling out of place
And PFM:
Laurent’s personal hell is briefing interns bc it contains everything he hates which is newbies, teaching ppl, socializing, and strangers
Jewel’s hell is lowkey living in a busy city, she misses nature a lot, but also thinking about the person she could have had become but never will
Reed’s hell is eating out at a fast food place asddasdasd like fr he hates it there, and ppl not paying attention to him
Nino’s hell is working with people who slow her down, but also being injured so badly that she has to take time off. She’s fine doing nothing for a bit, but she hates being forced to rest
Flavio’s hates playing therapist to ppl he barely knows/cares about, not that he’d ever admit it, but it exhausts him heavily when ppl trauma dump on him and expect him to genuinely care
Alan’s hell is when he tries to sleep, and he hears a sound 😌but also talking to stupid/naive people, his brain literally melts
Hi hi hi! I am doing decent! Hope you managed to get some well-deserved rest after that hell of a shfit ❤️
so, could you find stuff that looks like what the demon on top of the pillar VII of the Chauvigny Saint-Pierre collegial church?
answer below the cut :)
hi! since you said 'demon' in singular i assume we're talking about the the squatting creature in the middle? (on wikipedia it says that this one is the devil, flanked by two demons.) i can't say that it reminds me of any particular demon/devil, but it also doesn't look atypical to me at all. demons/devils in medieval art come in all shapes, sizes and colours, and to my eyes this one just looks like another variation of the recurring 'themes' of demon depictions. here's the devil on another pillar of the same church:
so, he seems to have fur, a tail, wings, some kind of claws or paws for feet, relatively human hands, spiked hair, spiky ears and a kind of half-human/half-animalistic face. all of those features are very common in the demon/devil depictions i've come across.
just as a random example, here are some demons from a 15th c. bavarian manuscript that share a lot of the same features:
(Berlin, SBB, Hdschr. 300, fol. 2r and 26r)
same goes for these two:
(Paris, BnF, Français 22971, fol. 28v)
the squatting position as well as the facial expression kind of reminds me of this depiction of the devil in the 'livre de la vigne nostre seigneur' (france, c. 1450–1470):
all of the illustrations shown above were created several centuries later than the (early 12th c.) saint-pierre pillars though, i should add. you would have to ask somebody else if you're interested in an art-historical classification of the st.-pierre devil.
EDIT: i focused on the devil's phenotype, but i just saw on your blog that you're actually interested in the x-shaped cross he's holding, which the (german) wikipedia article calls "a symbol of death, with a tilted cross and dots in the triangular areas". i also have a hard time finding other references to this "symbol of death" anywhere, but in this list of cross symbols the "schrägkreuz" (english wiki calls it "saltire, also called saint andrew's cross or the crux decussata") is said to have originally symbolized the crossed logs of a sacrifical altar (for fire sacrifices) and is thus found in depictions of the sacrifice of isaac and in depictions of the widow of sarepta/zarephath. there seems to be more information on it this in this lexicon:
Gerd Heinz-Mohr: Lexikon der Symbole. Bilder und Zeichen der christlichen Kunst, S. 177. Eugen Diederichs Verlag, München, Neuausg. 1998.
possibly also here? (also german, sorry)

Book Covers In the Colours of My Country’s Flag
Today is 4th July but as I’m not American the red, white, and blue theme does not fit with my country’s flag colours. The Scottish flag is blue with a white saltire (Saint Andrew’s Cross) and it’s…
New big saltire for Germany trip, going to get it personalised with pub name before we go, it's on my mate Rob 's balcony at Tollcross as too big to hang at mine over the road.
I just got finished playing the demo for FMO (i love it) and i couldn't find this question so, will the game be nsfw?
Additionally, how do the ROs act while jealous? Who's most to least jealous?
Nope, nothing beyond what's already in the demo, so fade to black only. Generally I won't be doing anything explicit in any of my games that have customizable ROs and MCs due to the amount of variations of the scenes I'd have to write. I tried to vaguely plan it out before and yeah, fade to black is best I can do rn
As for jealousy, I think it'll be obvious in-game, especially if you play one of the LTs 😏 but from most to least: Malitiose-Mirren-Rez-Lotar-Saltire
