um... hello! I am new to the ukagaka community. And I'm kind of curious about the characters in The Toxic Waltz
I was looking for the renders (or sprites) of Kusuko, Busuko and the other Rotten Heaven characters but... I didn't find them
I searched everywhere, Pinterest, Deviantart and even here on Tumblr but I didn't find anything
I needed the sprites to try to refresh it with Ibis Paint . Before I had the sprites saved on a phone. But those sprites disappeared since said phone was formatted
So... I don't know if anyone is interested in this but if someone can give me some way to download all the sprites of the characters of The Toxic Waltz. I would appreciate it
(if I write half bad in English it's because well... I'm from Latin America, I don't speak English, and I'm using a translator to write lol)

Raphael x (GN) Tav
I simply have an obsession with ballrooms and royalty. Here is a blurb of a toxic love between Raphael and Tav.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Repeated steps, gliding feet among marble tile. Heels in tune with a symphony of noise. A learned dance being strung throughout the ballroom.
Winding bodies, twisting, turning, even dizzying if not practiced. However the only thing in your mind is the repeated steps, for messing one up could be humiliating.
Devils aren’t known for mercy after all.
Your hand grasped yet another deep red one, calloused and strong. Perhaps one of a fighter, however you’d not know as it was already being exchanged for another.
A waltz, a three beat movement in which there is a follower and a leader. Together in a group it can even look angelic.
Gowns and tailcoats whisk the floor you waltz upon, swaying in slight tandem of the piano. Your own following in suit with the others.
To dance with a devil is to bargain, deal, find a midway. But in the room of heinous, your sole purpose is to perform. To act, whisk, and look as if simply being there would have others blush for even being in your presence. For to be invited in Raphael’s ballroom is a dream, to dance with the Hero of Baulder’s Gate is a fantasy.
All movements end in a hush, in the same line as the violins. Rather than clicking heels, the sounds thread to hushed whispers. Winding through the gloomy room, like a devils tail calculating the tightness of its choke.
The nights just began. Others have bargains and deals to make, even if you waltz a different dance.
The world feels in a stir, the alcohol coursing through every vein in your body. You have to count yourself back into a still state of mind.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
You realize this won’t get you anywhere, you can’t even recall how long this party has been in conversation. From what you can recall of your scrambled mind is attendees asking for a dance, the smell of alcohol, bargains that you’d never participate in, and Raphael’s gaze on you.
Sitting in a dim corner didn’t brighten your mood or cure the ache in your heels. Eyes wandered, including yours. However didn’t stray much from the Cambion in black. His horns protruding high and tail proud. He’d currently been in conversation with a tiefling of blue.
You could see the desperation of the tiefling and the confidence of Raphael. No doubt he was using his flowery words and sweet hums to serenade a deal out the other. Just as he had you.
The deal of a True Love’s Caress; A contract between you and the Cambion. To ensure an eye of protection on your companions, for no harm shall be brought to them. Or at least, nullified. However in exchange your mind and body were his. His to waltz with and kiss the ring on your finger. The rings would alert the other of any physical harm being done to the other, or it was just another way of him being able to track you. Seeing as you’d never left the house of hope or his grand balls in god knows how long.
Even so, you couldn’t help the flush he’d bring you. His sultry words and temptations could be fake, lies, and deceits. However they were for you, for you to bask in as he held you in burning arms.
You would find respite in even his hoax. You didn’t know if what he had for you was love or an obsession. Like a trinket to be held on another pedestal in his grand House of Hope. A pretty object to be shown off, with a tag saying “Hero of Baulder’s Gate.”
Even in the home of macabre, your soul found peace with his evil. Every caress on one another’s bodies were loving and sharp. Stolen glances and stares full of both daggers and adoration. Shivers down your spine at each term of endearment murmured into your skin. Every box step was calculated and perfected, hands intertwined with a deathly grip, either one of assurance or dominance.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Each step he took towards you were in perfect sync with the beats you’ve engrained in your mind. Absorbed in the trancing way of his walk you didn’t realize the lack of words. Looking up you see Raphael extend a hand towards your own.
Every other attendee had already been gone, as if they were never there to begin with. The air of mist in the room, or maybe your mind clouded all sense of knowing just how long this dreary lighting had been coating your skin for.
Taking his hand you hummed the familiar tune of the days music.
One, you began lifting yourself up, just to knock of one of the wine red roses from its vase.
Two, eyes met and rings caressed. You looked up at him with fake adoration in your eyes.
Three, “let’s go home, Raphael.”
