#La Diablesse

[caribbeangirlfolkloring]

“What are the lights in the mountains?” “The lights in the mountains? Oh, it’s a jablesse.” “A jablesse! But why? What’s a jablesse?” “It’s a person who can turn into anything. But you can tell they aren’t real because of their eyes. Their eyes shine like lamps, so bright that you can’t look. That’s how you can tell it’s a jablesse. They like to go up in the mountains and gallivant. Take good care when you see a beautiful woman. A jablesse always tries to look like a beautiful woman.”

Jamaica Kincaid, from At the Bottom of the River

La Diablesse

La Diablesse, a Caribbean vampire, resembles Lilith and Aisha Qandisha, as well as some other vampiric, alluring djinn. La Diablesse usually appears as an exceedingly beautiful, charming woman; she may appear in traditional Creole costume but betrays herself with her one cloven goat’s foot. Her anger is towards men: she seduces them, then kills them.

To save yourself, should you have a close encounter with La Diablesse, take off all your clothes.

Turn them inside out, then put them back on again.

Walk home backwards, never once during this entire process taking your eyes from La Diablesse.

Sage dessus mais beaucoup moins en dessous...

Vous posez vous la question sur la lingerie portée par les femmes que vous croisez ?

Sous des airs angéliques, une vraie diablesse peut sommeiller...

Douce soirée ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 💕

Elle sort de la salle de bain, ajuste sa serviette, les cheveux encore mouillés, la peau perlée d'eau.

- Dis, à quoi tu penses quand tu me regardes comme ça ?

Il sourit.

- A rien, je te regarde, c'est tout.

- Et qu'est ce que tu vois ?

- Tu paraîs si heureuse chaque matin.

- C'est parce que je me réveille à tes côtés et que dans tes yeux, je lis l'amour.

Et ça me donne envie de chanter et de danser. Et de sourire aussi, comme ça, pour rien.

Parce que nous ce n'est pas une simple histoire d'amour.

Nous, c'est de l'amour dans une belle histoire.

Et tous les jours c'est comme un conte qui commencerait par "il était une fois",

Mais c'est beaucoup plus que ça, c'est "notre fois".

- Tu es si forte et si fragile à la fois et je ne sais pas si c'est la rêveuse madone ou l'envoûtante diablesse que je préfère en toi.

- Tu ne peux séparer les deux, je suis comme ça et...

Laissant glisser la serviette sur le sol.

- Je suis toute à toi...

JM ♥️

If MLB characters were monsters, what monsters do you think they would be and why?

Marinette

A Beldam-Like creature with a face made of porcelain, the rest of her body made of fabric, blue button eyes, and needles for fingers

Marinette can create dolls she can see through the eyes of and even talk through

If she’s holding something that belongs to someone else and she pricks herself, that someone else feel pain instead of her. (Kind of like that Voodoo guy from Monster High)

And let’s be real, this fits. The girl already makes dolls

Adrien

A Frankenstein creature made from the body parts of different models so he’ll be “perfect”

He has made fifteen days ago, but he has the mind of a teenager… He just don’t know a bunch of shit

His stitches come loose when he’s stressed

You can’t tell me this guy wasn’t Frankie on his first day of school

Alya:

Daughter of La Diablesse. She has the appearance of a demon and wears beautiful clothes and fancy hats

Alya has long dark red hair, two black horns, a forked tail, and dragon-looking feet, so no shoes fit her

I was tempted to make her a ghost like Spectra, but wanted to make her something from her culture. Then I found this lady, and she's pretty

Nino:

A highly advanced robot like Elle Eedee

His mothers, two mad scientists, built him to be able to age, eat, and sleep like any other monster.

Sometimes, the students forget he's a mosnter and try to harass him, but then he deadlifts a bus, and they back away

Elle Eedee is a deejay, that is all

Nathaniel:

He’s the hybrid son of a Krampus and a vampire. Nath has a mostly human appearance with two black horns on his head, black claws and a hooves. Now as for the vampire half, he can shift into a bat, but he keeps his horns

Don't ask why he punishes bad kids on Christmas and celebrates Hanukkah, it's a whole thing

Instead of bagging and strangling bad kids with chains, he gives them wet-willies, noogies, puts soap in their mouths, and punctures one doll with his horns

I just wanted to make Nath a demon and a hybrid

Alix:

A steam robot from the Victorian era with built-in rocket feet so she can get around much faster

Robecca did roller derby, so this was a no brainer

She, Nino, and Adrien get along well since they weren't "born"

Alix carries around a parasol just in case it rains so she won't rust, and keeps an extra one for Nath since he's forgetful as hell

Juleka:

Hybrid daughter of a Siren and a Ghost Pirate who wears outfits inspired by both of her heritages, a ton of gold jewelry, and flowing outfits

She doesn't really sing sea shanties like her mom or spells in the form of songs like her dad, mostly rock ballads that put everyone within hearing range under her spell

When she gets wet, scales appear along her body, but when dry, she has a ghostly appearance with translucent skin

I didn't do a ton of thinking for her

Rose:

Rose is the daughter of a plant monster. She has green skin, vines growing from her hair, and very sharp teeth. At will, she emits pheromones from her body that help plants grow faster

She dresses like a gothic gardener

When Rose is upset, her vines wilt, but when she's happy, multicolored roses sprout from her hair and arms. She gives them to her friends

I had no clue what to make her until I remembered Princess Fragrance and how she had green skin like Venus

Kim:

He's the son of the Kraken, able to turn his tentacles into legs whenever he's on land. His tentacles are red and can glow in the dark, he has gold scales along his arms and torso, and translucent red fins on his forearms and in place of his ears

Kim's still technically a hatchling according to Kraken biology, so he's a two-year-old prodigy in the eyes of his parents

He has trouble walking when he's underwater for so long, so Mondays are always hell for him

I was gonna make him a siren... But Juleka's already one, so you get it

Max:

He's an alien (Star Train, everybody) He crashlanded on earth in an asteroid, was sent to Area 51, got broken out by his mom, and then sent to a school for monsters

When he gets excited, Max floats and his eyes look like a galaxy

He has no idea about earth's customs and is just learning what a high-five is. On his planet, that's a marriage proposal. Kim learned that the hard way

Max has silver skin, purple eyes, star-like freckles, and crystals on his shoulders. If Max gives you a crystal, it's a sign of eternal friendship (*cough* Kim *cough*)

Ivan:

He’s a gargoyle

Because Stoneheart

For extra cash, Ivan protects the churches from demons who like to tag the walls with graffiti

His entire body is made out of stone, he has massive draconic wings on his back and two small horns on his head. (He has some serious horn envy with Nath)

Myléne:

She's the son of the Boogeyman. She has purple skin, wild pink hair filled with different bugs, and long black claws

Myléne disappears constantly because she’s always hiding in someone’s shadow or the dreamscape. It’s nice and cold there

She can emit a purple inhalant from his skin that puts people to sleep. This only happens when she gets scared or angry

I'm just taking inspiration from her Akuma form

Sabrina:

Daughter of the Invisible Man, Sabrina's clothes are kind of flashy just so she can stand out a bit. Her legs become translucent at the knee

She can turn invisible at will, and this extends to anything she's touching

Sabrina turns invisible mostly to get away from Chloé when she's on another tirade or to mess with people she doesn't like

*Cough* Vanisher *Cough*

Chloé:

She's a literal witch who casts spells on her classmates to mess with them and lords it over their heads that her mother heads the most exclusive witch coven

And so she doesn't look like "ugly monsters," she dresses in more bright colors

Chloé hates hybrids because her mom hates them, so Juleka and Nath are the ones she usually targets with her spells (All three of them).

I mean... She's kind of already a witch

Lili:

She’s a damn harpy

That's it.

La Mort 👽

Tu m’as broyé le cœur,

Infâme oiseau de malheur,

Immonde cruauté,

Sans âme ni clarté…

Tu es là à nous épier,

Pour ôter nos vies tant convoitées…

Tu aimes les larmes versées,

Mais qui es-tu donc toi pour oser nous briser ?

La Mort ! à n’en pas douter…

Hors de ma vue !

Sombre inconnue !

Sorcière de l’enfer !

Horrible vipère !

Je te hais !

Et je voudrais,

Que tu disparaisses à tout jamais de notre bel univers,

Notre terre bien aimée dont tu aimerais t’en emparer pour mieux nous manipuler, nous diviser…

Mais saches que tu n’y arriveras jamais,

Car nous ferons tout pour la protéger de tes vilaines griffes acérées…

Mais que vois-je à présent ?

Sombre damnation…

Ton teint devient livide, tes yeux vides, larmoyants…

Serais-tu en train de vouloir implorer mon pardon ?

Dans l'unique espoir de gagner ta rédemption ?

Mais c’est trop tard voyons !

Alors n’essayes plus jamais de me duper méprisante insolente,

En voulant te métamorphoser en bonne fée...

Car oui, ta comédie a assez duré...

Non mais ! Quel toupet de vouloir à tout prix te racheter,

Alors que tu m'as dépouillée des êtres que j'aimais...

Maudite inconnue mise à nue,

Retirée de ton masque de diablesse, traîtresse !

Retournes là d'où tu viens Vaurien !

Là où tu as vu le jour Vautour !

Dans les bas-fonds de ta prison,

Froide comme un glaçon,

Sans âme ni émotion…

Retournes y à l’infini Faucheuse haineuse,

Condamnée à perpétuité,

Pour tous ces crimes que tu as commis...

Laideur sans coeur,

Que je maudis avec ardeur...

Retournes y silhouette squelette,

Noirceur fantomatique,

Déguisement effrayant,

Arborant éternellement ce sourire sardonique,

Ta signature machiavélique...

Retournes donc dans ton manoir hanté,

Ce mouroir de l'ignominie, Saleté...

Retournes y Harpie,

T'y enterrer à vie,

Afin que je t'oublie...
