Thorns Of My Devotion

Introduction

Hello, I am Amsteria/or Shey I am 22 years old this is my second selfship blog. Decided to have two seperate ones because their aesthetics in my mind are different or the vibe I want them to emulate is just too different to have on the same blog I also wanted it to feel more equal? I selfship with “Offenderman” no I do not adhere or use his cannon, I have my own cannon where he isn’t disgusting like his original counterpart I also call him Crim now. If you want to know more about My Offenderman explore the #Crim on my page, he’s still a developing character. Offenderman is obviously NOT my oc he belongs to Arc. But Crim Is my own character. he’s my re-written version of offenderman that isn’t a rapist. I only really use offenderman hashtags to get reach on my stuff and that’s about it? But yea if you have any questions about my blog or Crim the ask box is open and anon is on, atleast I believe so. If you have issues even with re-written iterations of offenderman just don’t interact, it’s not that big of a deal we both have our seperate corners of the internet.

Don’t really know what else to say if I have anything else I’ll add it later, my Ao3 is DevourmeFaceless I don’t really post there as of yet but plan to in the future I’ll most likely post fics relating to either character and ship on their respective blogs.

Ahhh thanks!! I’m so glad someone shares interest in him!!

So I have some things mapped out but hardly a backstory yet, I’m presuming he’s lived years alongside humanity never quite fitting in with them due to his appearance but it doesn’t seem to bother him. Though he does get lonely from time to time so he sometimes hangs in bars and social places especially where the lighting is bad so people can’t fully see him.

As for victims he targets are abusive men, or terrible men and he uses these men to gain his sustenance to survive as a slender. He basically targets men who act like the canonical offenderman if that makes sense. He’s fond of women and goes out of his way to protect them. He’s very respectful of women too and never pushes their boundaries.

As for hunting it’s usually easy, they find their way to him in a sense and if it doesn’t he lingers around the city keenly observing men until they fuck up and that’s when the hunt begins.

My Crim is sort of a vigilante character who is heavily misunderstood by the people surrounding him. Back in the Middle Ages (he’s existed for that long probably even longer before) people assumed he was some sort of vampire. How great the times have changed he can finally exist outside with other people without them trying to immediately kill him and fail. Even though he occasionally gets stared at or whispered about when seen it’s nothing like attempting to be trapped or killed. Crim will admit those times back then were fun, he enjoyed the rush from people trying to kill him. He’s somewhat of a masochist as well so really attacking him does no harm.

It’s also important to note while I use Crim interchangeably inside the creepypasta universe as a potential replacement for offenderman that Crim exists outside of that au, like he still has his own origin universe if that makes sense. He carries the traits of a slender-being but I’m not sure if I want to label him as one, the only reason I do is in the creepypasta au to make it easier for everyone. To me Crim is an entity who carries heavy resemblance to slender-beings but might not actually be one?

Also Crim is Married canonically ;) but back in the day Crim was mad pulling so he’s got alot of experience… and yes I did say earlier people usually don’t welcome him often because of his appearance but you know there’s other people who are open minded, let’s just say anyone who chose to sleep with him never regretted it, he’s a good time.

Anyways that is it for now!! Of course once I edit and revise his character a few times I will add his info to him. It will be under the Crim hashtag if you guys want to explore it, maybe I’ll even write a fic? But I’m not sure where to take him yet :) also I’m new to writing fan fiction so if I do write it, it’ll probably be rough even if it’s posted and will go through several revisions where I’ll rewrite stuff and update everyone. Okay thank you!!

I have not fully fleshed out Crim.

The idea of Crim came to me when I realized Offenderman is just too hot to completely ban from existence… SO I set off to create my own sexy faceless man who is offenderman in every way EXCEPT for the ways or reasons that make Offenderman infamous.

I remember being on Pinterest and seeing this character from Hexatomb and my god…. How he reminded me of offenderman. Beautiful pale face, sharp teeth that could tear right through your jugular… my kind of man… so it had me thinking… I can make my own version of offenderman who is a lustful beast, a creature of night… but doesn’t have the irredeemable qualities of the original. The name Crim came to me shortly after and it got the aesthetic of what I was looking for, using the name offenderman is sort of useless now considering how my version is NOT a sex offender but a being of lust, crave and desire.

For my outfit design that’s where this character called Raziel from Hexatomb comes from, I really like the qualities an associations of fandom offenderman with vampires thus my personalized version of offenderman is infact vampiric in aesthetic and nature, although I of course still love the old noir aesthetic of his former form so I interchange his outfits from being based off Raziel from Hexatomb to the exact same outfit that the original sexual offenderman wears.

I have recently gotten a commission of a character design sheet from two wonderful different artists encapsulating Crim’s form/outfit

BOTH!!

Basically I wanted my own version of offenderman that didn’t rape people. Offenderman was a character I got attracted to/attached to when I was 14, this character like Splendorman has lived alongside me forever, so to toss him now, being an adult and fully understanding the context of his character made me feel somewhat sad and empty, to let go of something so dear to me something that I held closely to my heart and imagination for years. I interacted with this character so much inside of my mind he almost acted alive in his own sense, thus my personal attachment to him outside of Cannon is very intimate and strong. As I grew up I obviously didn’t want the old story of offenderman to follow with me, it became a thing that was triggering as someone who has had a csa experience offenderman went from a comfort to something that made my skin crawl and triggered me but my desire still ached for him to remain in my life in one way or another. This was a confusing feeling but an easy fix for me, the solution was that since I myself am a victim my voice is eligible to dismiss offenderman’s cannon, dismissing offenderman’s cannon for my own comfort slowly started turning him into what I now call crim, occasionally I still call him offenderman out of habit and due to old patterns it’s what I’m used to but regardless his cannon is ALWAYS dismissed with me , it doesn’t serve me therefore his cannon form has no place here.

Anyways! Anyone feel free to ask anything else about Crim. He’s still a developing character , but I’m sure there’s still stuff I can answer regardless.

He was fervently devoted to her the same was she was to him. As long as she lived the being would refuse to leave her side, lingering in the shadows while others unaware. He would visit her in dreams while she slept, displaying his intense passion towards her. The dreams would be vivid, an indescribable pleasure no other person could emulate.
