What memory would your OC rather just forget? || Nyx and Merlot ||

For Merlot, the memory of the after affect of the Determination vapor still haunts his mind. The image, the raw emotion, was the worst possible whenever he recalls how his brother looked and felt. They weren’t identifiable except for the weak cries of their siblings’ birth name. “Sans…where are you? Why did you leave me?…”

Merlot shudders. He doesn’t appreciate you drudging up his past.

——

Nyx has many broken memories of past worlds that no longer have connected dots. He recalls many bad ends, where he succumbed to the hatred towards Spade and killed the tyrant; only to be beaten bloody by the child of said tyrant while ridiculed over and over.

The jester shrinks away from you. He never wanted to see those haunting expressions ever again, and yet here we are bringing it out into the open.

[ 💀 ] has your muse gone through anything traumatic? if so, how has this trauma affected them? || for Nyx ||

(pardon the older art here lol) tw: graphic imagery

He's gone through many traumatic events. One major one was when the king made those lines across both of his eyes. He wasn't born with those marks; they were carved into him as a sign of ownership and to prove that he had no say against the king. So he wouldn't die of infection or blood loss, the king ordered his second hand to burn the wounds shut with a lantern and a sowing needle. To this day, Nyx cannot stand anything near his eyes or anything blocking his vision. He'll have a panic attack and turn fully feral.

#About Nyx

[trashcatmonster]

About Nyx

Monster origins (classic):

Lives in a den in the crystal-lantern room (Waterfall)

Typically skittish and skeptical, but has an intense desire to learn and a curiosity that overpowers most of his sense of self preservation

Bullets take the form pencils, paper airplanes, and a large origami swan that chases the opponent around

Friends with Alphys! Met her at the dump and they bonded over trashy media they both liked. Nyx regularly visits her for Mew Mew Kissy Cutie binge watches

May be friends with Alphys but is absolutely terrified of Undyne. Teases Alphys about her crush regardless

Really likes giving gifts, usually they consist of something he found at the dump that he thought was really cool.

[ACT]

-> CHECK

(ATK 28 DF 12 Wants to trust you)

-> INFORM

(You tell Nyx a fact about snails. He’s excited to learn something new.)

-> INSULT

(You call Nyx an idiot. He doesn’t like you very much.)

-> ASK QUESTION

(You ask Nyx a question about bridge seeds. He’s excited to tell you about their root system.)

Human origins (Classic)

Perseverance (purple) soul

Lives on his own somewhere near the base of Mt. Ebott, not fully in the city but not far up the mountain either.

Doesn’t have the best past, refuses to talk about his family if asked about it

Still super inquisitive, he’s professionally a ranger and does his best to take care of the wildlife living on the mountain

Super nervous, shy, even more distrusting than his monster counterpart

When monsters surface, he’s one of the first humans to greet them.

Still nervous to trust them, but he’s more on their side than the rest of humanities

Uses his skills with animals he’d gotten from being a ranger to help the more animalistic monsters cope

Ends up becoming a favorite among the dog guards and the buns, he’s honestly pretty excited about this development

[legendaryglaives]

Nyx's apartment is a small studio with a kitchenette--not enough space or equipment to make proper meals. Maybe he is often invited to eat at friends' and neighbors' homes.

i think that the jewelry melinoe and nemesis wear around their waists signifies them both as students of hecate

hecate summons a portal with the same carvings on the silver disc

and it looks like she wears one too (without the twin tassels?)

given this line from nemesis (from the steam store page)

it seems like melinoe is being trained for the task of recusing her father hades from cronos. there might be some push back from nemesis, school rival, about melinoe being picked for this, maybe we get to fight against her in-game? 

#i dont know if hecate would have the final say in who gets to go in and try to save hades #(especially bc melinoe mentions being 'born for this' like prophecy vibe) #so maybe nemesis is talking about persephone or nyx #not really important to the post but yknow #melinoe #nemesis #hecate #hadesgame #hades #amber.txt

thinking about the recurring theme of identity in unreal unearth, and how the speaker's sense of identity is most frequently tied to his relationship, and the connectedness between them, where the relationship was so transformative that it fundamentally changed him, and now that the relationship is dead, he needs to bury those parts of himself that were born out of the relationship and forge new ones, in which we follow him as he travels through the circles of hell in the afterlife to deposit those fragments of identity and moments from the relationship so that he can emerge changed and with a new definition of himself and his identity in this essay I will-

🙊 - keeping secrets Nyx

While fully capable of keeping secrets, there are moments where he deems too important to keep information to himself. Therefore, he’ll only leak information if he feels it’s important enough to break secrecy over. IE, a secret regarding someone’s wellbeing.

Quick List of References to Dante's Inferno in "Unreal Unearth" (Part One)

HELLO !!! there is now an updated list since we have now heard the old album so please go check that out instead: [ the ultimate "unreal unearth" reference list" ]

[ PART TWO ]

If I miss anything or get anything wrong, let me know! I'm so interested to know what everyone else thinks, too :]

Another long post, but I simply have too much to say.

THIS WAS MADE BEFORE THE ALBUM RELEASE !!!!

"DE SELBY (PART ONE)" "You take in the blackness of air, the likes of a darkness so deep that God, at the start, couldn't bear." The theme of darkness is a repetitive one in Dante's Inferno, representing sin and it's deceiving behaviour. Particularly in the opening of Inferno, Dante and Virgil have to treck through a thick blackness after entering the gates of Hell.

"DE SELBY (PART TWO)" "Let all time slow, let all light go, I don't need to know where we begin again." DS(P2) is another song that references the absence of light, and would make sense being a continuation of DS(P1). "Let all time slow" references the eternal and infinite nature of a punishment in Hell, and "let all light go", again, show the darkness of Inferno. "I don't need to know where we begin again" is more a repetition of Hozier's own work with his multiple references of death not being the end - "Francesca", "Work Song", "All Things End", "Wasteland, Baby", etc. - but still references the idea of entering a new life after entering Inferno.

"FIRST TIME" "And the soul, if that's what you'd call it, uneasy ally of the body, felt as nameless as a river, undiscovered underground." It appears, in the track list, that we are now moving beyond the threshold of Hell. The mention of "a river, undiscovered underground", is a reference to the river Acheron that runs through Inferno. The river contains a ferry, ran by the Greek Psychopomp, Charon, who escorts the souls of the underworld. Dante is known for mixing different mythologies together in Inferno, so the mentions of "soul" and "river" and "undiscovered underground" all seem to be a reference to Charon and his role in Inferno.

"FRANCESCA" The whole song of Francesca is a reference to the story of Francesca da Rimini, who was sentenced to the second circle of Hell, 'Lust', after caught in an affair with her husband's brother, Paolo. Francesca claims that love has seized her so tightly that she can't stop loving Paolo, not even in Hell. The entire song references this story so I won't pinpoint these lyrics. "My life was a storm, since I was born. How could I fear any hurricane?" The second circle of Hell is plagued by violent winds meant to reflect the passions of reckless love. The winds are so strong that the inhabitants of 'Lust' find themselves thrown around and unable to stay in one spot. Hozier claims to not be afraid of these winds, saying that love has always felt this reckless, even in mortality, and death will not phase him. Whether he is saying this from the perspective of himself or Francesca is up for debate.

"I, CARRION (ICARIAN)" The whole song is very clearly about the tale of Icarus, and even has some mentions to the titan Atlas, "You have held your hands beneath. Once I had wondered what was holding up the ground. I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down." Icarus and Titans are mentioned throughout Inferno, Hozier again hinting at the mosaic of mythology Dante created. In Inferno, Dante compares his own dread to the plummeting of Icarus, and Hozier now compares his love to the dreaming and hope of Icarus as he flew, making it a fitting song for the 'Lust' circle as well.

"EAT YOUR YOUNG" We now enter the third circle, 'Gluttony', and the song is very overt in its imagery of hunger. As far as I'm aware, the song has more political references than it does direct references to Inferno, but the song is very obviously about Gluttony.

"DAMAGE GETS DONE" The minimal lyrics we have for this song don't give me a lot, but I would say they definitely don't reflect hunger, so I think we have entered the fourth circle, 'Greed'. 'Greed' is categorised as one of the sins committed out of a lack of self-control, like 'Lust' and 'Gluttony'. However, Hozier seems to be fighting this idea in the lyrics, claiming, "But I know being reckless and young is not how the damage gets done." The idea of "damage" also reflects the circle of 'Greed', as the punishment for this sin is that the inhabitants are grouped into halves, and each half are forced to engage in an eternal battle that leaves them so injured, they are impossible to recognise.

"WHO WE ARE" I'll be honest, in terms of references, we don't have a lot for this song, although, as mentioned in the next paragraph, "Son Of Nyx" has to be about the fifth circle, 'Anger', so "Who We Are" is either another 'Greed' song or it's a second 'Anger' song. Although, we do have the lyric, "But it sharpens like a knife", which throws me back to the knife imagery of "Take Me To Church", a very biblical song in terms of imagery, and in the fourth circle, 'Greed', Dante sees varying members of the Clergy, so perhaps "Who We Are" is a similar song to "Take Me To Church", and takes place in 'Greed'. TMTC: "You can sharpen your knife", "My lover's the sunlight", "She demands a sacrifice", "Only then, I am human." WWA: "It sharpens like a knife", "We're born at night", "Darling, we sacrificed", "It's who we are." The biblical similarities could present this as a 'Greed' song, referencing the various clergymen who reside there. "SON OF NYX" Though we have no lyrics, we know the song after this is "All Things End", which is about the sixth circle, 'Heresy', so this song has to be about the fifth circle, 'Anger'. Nyx was a Greek Goddess who was the personification of night, once again referencing darkness in this album. Nyx has many offspring, all presenting various different things. Nyx, however, did inhabit the dark recesses of the underworld, respected and feared by even Zeus. We have no lyrics ( although, perhaps it is just this song renamed ? who knows ), so I can't say for certain how this relates, but a Goddess that resides in the underworld seems very fitting for Inferno.

Again, if I missed anything, please tell me! I'm already so obsessed with this album, I need to know if there is content I am missing, thank you soldiers. (ง’̀-‘́)ง

hc + 🌇 for a headcanon about morning- or evening rituals

Nyx is a very early riser, so early that he takes advantage of the fact the majority of castle town is still snoozing away. He sneaks into Spade’s castle to leave a nice breakfast for the prince, since none bother to assist him with such a basic thing.

Lancer is clueless as to whom actually provides him breakfast every day, but he assumes it’s second dad; Roulx Kaard.

WIP Thursday

“Nyx, what’s the matter?” Aunt Nesta said softly, placing her book down on the table.

Nyx’s stomach twisted and he chewed this inside of his cheek.

“Amren said something the other day,” he began as his stomach roiled again.

“What did she say to you?” Nesta said as her eyes narrowed. “Did she talk that High King nonsense again?”

“She said you had powers once. That you were really powerful.” Nyx began to peel back the hangnail on his thumb, the sharp sting of nail and skin did nothing to distract his nausea.

“But, you gave up your powers for me. Amren said you had silver fire and you could control the dead.” Nyx’s sight began to blur as wet, hot tears fell down his cheeks. “She said that you were so powerful but you gave it up.” Suddenly, he was sobbing.

Aunt Nesta said nothing as she wrapped her arms around him as he sunk to the floor. He sobbed into her chest as she rocked him slowly, softly stroking his brow and his back as Nyx cried. Everytime he tried to catch his breath another sob took over his chest. Aunt Nesta hummed softly as she kept rocking.

“Yes Nyx, I gave those powers back. And I would do it again and again.” Aunt Nesta whispered, “It brought you to us, Nyx. Why would I want a silver flame when I have you?” Nyx felt her arms tighten around him. She smelled like she always did; of ink on the pages of a book, of vanilla and chocolate cake, of fresh mountain air.

“Why would I want death when I get to watch you laugh and smile? What good is power to me if I’m not your aunt?” She smoothed back his hair and wiped away the tears on his cheeks.
