Art of two ocs of mine for a story I'm working on, The Pallas Project!
TLDR about the main two sillies, in these icons;
They both work on The Pallas Project, a surveillance program that became sentient and called itself The Librarian. Virgil leaking data to sneak under her eyes, using the pseudonym "Halcyon". Bass is their best friend/roommate. He tries to pull them away from the danger they themselves got into, but since they’re not backing down, he’s decided he’s coming down with them hand in unlovable hand
Virgil is a 32 yr old research engineer Confident, relaxed, does whatever they think is right even if they’re putting their own health and safety at risk. At first they seem timid and hard to open up, but if one will listen or catches their attention, they'd meet the nerd within, who lives by the rule of cool, and is dedicated to their path and passions. They spent a lot of time in the past in protests.
In a situation of fight or flight, they normally fight until all they have left is to fawn or freeze
Bass is a 30 yr old programmer Timid, pacifist, loyal, sticks by his friend’s sides through thick and thin. Slight rough and tumble side to him. Unfortunately doesn’t make friends much as he has a hard time keeping them due to- past situations. He's changed much since then, into a big ol' teddy bear. But a teenage arson incident doesn't just wipe away, does it?
In a situation of fight or flight, he freezes until there’s no other option but fight
The two had a mutual crush going strong for 12 fuckin years, though after an incident where Virgil lost their arm and nearly died, they finally spat it out Theres so much more to The Pallas Project, too much to ramble here
tosses you in a nuclear reactor :D
Tumblr why
The whole thing is this ai bs with different giant cats
Yeah that! Thats what I was thinking of
Yeah so that is a big damper on the theory, but I did completely forget about the case being tied to her
According to the lovecraft wiki theres also a Darkness but I don't know much of them, nor the stories they're from (hell, they don't even have an appearances page)
So either is a possibility, or something entirely new (more likely)
Just finished part 45 And I have a theory, and hear me out on this
Is the Mother Darkness Shub-Niggurath?
She's the only eldritch god I can think of explictly shown as female, and a mother no less. Some associations with black and darkness, being The Black Goat of The Woods and all
She's also dead in the present, but Arthur's in the past, is he destined to kill her?
Plus, from the transcript:
MALAM: How? ARTHUR: Well, how-how do I stop her? MALAM: She cannot be killed by normal weapons. And even if you did manage to destroy Mother Darkness, it would only bring about her true form. ARTHUR: Her true form?
My only counterpoint in this is like,,, she was wiped from reality, I don't remember off-hand if it was from the past like she never existed? But her murals were still there, and I don't remember what episode that was in
YEAH IT'S A THING
At first I only found Fishmen which is like, The Shadow Over Innsmouth
But then I was fed This, I swear Youtube is reading my Discord and Tumblr (which like, yeah, checks out), and then This which is tied with Fishmen bc it makes me cackle
It was like 2 amish when I posted that so I haven't gone much further
I just found the Lovecraft song parody rabbit hole, I thought it was just Fishmen but oh my god
I’m
I’m cackling at I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth and If I Were A Deep One
Give her a knife, let her burrow a hole
What does Freddy think about your flesh not being sufficiently burrow able
Freddie does NOT approve
She would much rather my skin be perfectly burrowable. Example of such:
See that? THATS some good burrowing material
Wilbur and his twin(,,I call him Oscar) need a beach day but I think that wet cat would
1. Hate it
2. Bake in the sun like an egg on an Arizona sidewalk
Especially with all that fur?? Hopefully his scales would cool them
Apologies for being late!
Life and thumbnailing this was, messy, but for @hermannsprecursors , Happy Secret Surviviors 2023!
My prompt was “I’m SUPER into the religious motifs if IHNMAIMS, and I would LOVE something that leans into that. Torment those bitches with their robo god, Yk?”, I hope I did it justice! The lamb of god was a particular inspiration!
This was made to be a phone background specifically, under the cut will be how it works on my phone, I would’ve asked you your phone but I hope it works well on yours! Also, other unused thumbnails, including a few stained glass ideas I may revisit one day!
Feel free to use it! Id love to see it in use!
Conspiracy that thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com is never actually gonna be anything other than Soos “fixing” something. I think someone’s just trolling us into thinking something is gonna happen 😭
Someone just wants to watch as all scramble around and frantically type in the password knowing all along that nothing is gonna happen. Like some sort of sick mind game… I bet Bill is doing this to us
