Upon These Wings Ch. 9: Hints and Clues
I’d cried myself into exhaustion by the time night fell. My nest was so dark I could only make out the shapes of things and still I could not sleep. Dark had tried calling me down once, but he quickly gave up.
Even though I’d been up there for hours, the anger and hurt still clenched in my stomach. I thought they were my friends, finally, but they didn’t seem to want to be. It wasn’t fair. Here were the only two people who had any idea what I’d really gone through, who were just as trapped here as I was, and yet I was so incredibly isolated from them. And now Dark was trying to alienate me from my project team. My relationship with most of them was polite at least, but what about Jada? I liked her, and I thought she liked me. If Dark was right, she was ignorant at best, playing me at worst.
I hated how utterly alone I was.
The keypad’s faint beeping snapped me from my thoughts. I sat up as the door swung open. Jakes’ silhouette remained burned into my eyes as the door clicked closed behind him, loud as a gunshot in the silence.
He was three steps into the room before I fully processed what was happened and scrambled to my feet, wings scattering pillows behind me in my haste. “J-Jakes!”
He paused. “Three,” he said curtly, “or is it Dawn now?”
Fear began creeping up my spine. Something was very wrong here.
That fear quickly turned to annoyance and then anger - Dark was sitting down there somewhere messing with my emotions, tamping down my rising fury and stoking the fear. He wasn’t even trying to be subtle. Infuriatingly, it worked, and despite my attempts to control myself I began slowly backing away from the director invading my room.
“Stop,” Jakes commanded, resuming his approach.
I continued my retreat. “What do you want?” I asked, and I hated that my voice trembled.
“Stop,” he insisted, suddenly taking several large strides and reaching for me.
I stumbled backward, tripped on a pillow, and fell through the glass into open air.

Starting off the new year with I think the most background heavy piece I've ever made! I think Rainwings and Nightwings would celebrate their traditional holidays together after the events of The brightest night. So this drawing is meant to show their cultures kind of blending together during a very joyful time. I remember talking about this concept with someone on tumblr a year ago but when I went back through my posts I couldn't for the life of me find it - so if your reading this, I remember you and this drawing stems from that conversation so thank you!

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]
woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people
also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!

additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]
(retroactively, on march 27th of 2024, assigning them a full bingo with credit to deep-space-lines. ehehehehe)

Kith and kin.
Sometimes peace doesn't mean a lover's embrace, it means, well, peace.

Okay so y’all know how canonically there’s a batburger with meals based on the bats and their enemies? Well…. I think it’d be funny and interesting if in every au, the menu’s slightly different.
Sure, they’ll still probably by the batburger, bat fries, robin nuggets, etc etc, but… but in a world where robin doesn’t exist, what would they be called? It’d be funny to see little details where the menu changes to reflect the names of the gotham vigilantes of that au
eg, in my au, To Brace Upon Benign Feathers, there’ll still be Batburgers, Batfries, Two-Face Sandwich, Killer Croque, and Ivy Salad (Not Poison), but I also think there’d be Shadow Shake, (a cookies and creme milkshake type of thing), Seraph Scones (Alfred refuses to eat them because they’re not “real scones”), Anubiscuits (literally just pop-eyes buscuits cos they’re dry enough for you to MEET anubis(the actual god)), and Wraith Wraps
Tl;dr: I think different au’s, especially reverse robins au’s, should have their own little batburger with a different menu

Take a walk in the woods with me?🍂

Copy-pasta-ing my last post-script bc I'm lazy:
Not to be a wannabe influencer, but I really wanted to let y'all know that Shovava, the creators of these gorgeous wing shawls, is having an insane 50% off sale rn. I adore these shawls so dang much, they're my signature clothing item, but they're usually pretty pricey! If you want a great deal on them, and support an indie artist, now's your chance!
This one's the Samsara shawl in cotton🍂
Use my referral code YUKIPRI86469 on the Shovava site for 20% off orders over $85! YES it's combinable with their sale!!!

Btw is it just me or does Dungeon Meshi have some cool religious christian imagery?
The Winged Lion, Falin and Laios. The Power, the white dove and the messiah. The dungeon as the sacred land?
Cannibalism as an act of love and gratitude. Eating (god) as worship and communion.
Becoming a dungeon lord like ascending to godhood, being the chosen one, the divine messenger, the one through which God acts.
sorry I just think about this Numbers 13:32 Bible quote like all the time thank you youtuber The Sin Squad

Been thinking a lot about the idea that a StarClan cat appearance becomes more fantasy-like based on the stories of them and how they're perceived by the living. So new spirits would look more like how they were alive while older spirits would look different.

[ID: A sketch of BB!Gray Wing, Patron of Wisdom, over many generations. Xeir hood has changed into the wings of two pheasants, with their eyes overlapping xeir own, and beaks crossing above the nose. Xeir body is covered in illegible script.]
While I do imagine they keep a "BE NOT AFRAID" normal-form that they can choose to appear as, yes. Over time, ancestral spirits begin to lose touch with their mortal forms and become abstractions.
Once, long ago, the Four Seasonal Gods resembled something very much like an ancient patron of Silverpelt. In comparison to Rock, Sol, Midnight, and Sharptooth, even the oldest spirit in StarClan (Gray Wing) is still an infant.
Partner and I are still designing the other founders but Gray Wing and Clear Sky are pretty solid.
