My (290000NB) Archangel Mentor (300000M) keeps getting into fights with a machine cook at Waffle House
I know this sounds really weird, but here it is:
My Archangel mentor has looked after me and my siblings for many milennia. He took us under his wing just after Father shaped us out of clay yet didn't leave us enough time to bake in the oven, as it were. Despite being incomplete, our mentor never once thought us insufficient or an object of pity. He trained us vigorously and without mercy, always intent on bringing out our full potential, no matter how many training salles we destroyed in the process!
This is relevant because while the training salles inevitably needed to be repaired after our passionate spars, he would take us down to Earth to partake in mortal food as a "reward". Of course as the only one with a coin purse our mentor was who decided the restaurant and he always wanted breakfast food. From what I understand when he was a child Father disliked the consumption of breakfast-type food, so his siblings (other high ranking Archangels) would make him waffles/pancakes whenever Father was busy with some great profound Godly task or out of universe. It's a wonderful and safe memory for him, and when he goes to his "happy place" he says that's where he always goes.
Our mentor is an incredibly nice and caring person. He's emotionally tuned in to everyone and recognises arising issues long time before they occur. He loves animals and is kind and gentle with every bug, bird and pet that he comes across. He's almost always willing to turn the other cheek in social situations where somebody tries to insult him or get aggressive towards him, and usually winds up defusing the situation and having a productive discussion about whatever the issue was.
Except at Waffle House.
Anytime we're on Earth waiting for the training salles to be repaired, he wants to go to the same goddamn Waffle House and get breakfast food. We're not big eaters (us Powers all have very tiny stomachs), so we didn't used to care. We would just drink coffee and read books or converse while he enjoyed his food. But that became impossible once he and this one machine cook started chirping at each other every time we went there. Our mentor complained about his eggs one time, because he likes them a little runny and they were served hard. The machine cook responded by giving him scrambled eggs. When he brought it up again the machine cook served him two hardboiled eggs. I think it was just part of the machine cook's schtick, and it was kind of funny tbh, but my mentor wasn't able to laugh it off. When we left he was in kind of a bad mood, but we didn't really talk about it (the sparring session afterwards was more... gruelling than usual though).
The next week we were out getting some shopping done (Heaven doesn't have a DIY store and we ran out of nails for training salles repairs), and he wanted to go to Waffle House again. We suggested that we try out a different place, or at least a different Waffle House location, but he only wanted the same Waffle House. We went in and sat down, and once again the same machine cook served his eggs wrong. Our mentor sort of snapped at it that he wasn't interested in messing around and just wanted the correct eggs. The machine cook then served him a piece of toast with a hole cut out in the middle with a fried egg in it. Our mentor got really mad and threw the egg toast at the machine cook, which made the machine cook come around from behind the bar and throw it back at him. They ended up sort of wrestling/fighting until our mentor was like "this is bullshit" and walked out. Nobody got hurt, but the few other people in there were watching and laughing a bit.
This is the crazy part: out mentor keeps going back and ordering eggs and getting into fistfights with the same machine cook. It's almost a ritual at this point. Our mentor orders runny eggs, the machine cooks serves him some other version of eggs, and then they beat the shit out of each other. We quit going with him after the fifth fight, but he kept going by himself. They're like Peter and the Giant Chicken from that human show called Family Guy, it's the weirdest thing. They've physically fought like 10 or 12 times over this.
We've tried to talk to him about it a few times, but he keeps saying it's a matter of principle. We told him to talk to the manager or something like that, but he just waves us off. Apparently that machine cook hasn't yet made him the correct runny eggs, but it's like it spends the week learning new ways of preparing eggs to piss our mentor off.
The thing is, our mentor is getting promoted this century. He's accepted a job as the Judge of Hell and we will be taking up protection of Heaven in his absence, so he won't have time or excuses to visit his sworn enemy Waffle House robot. He hasn't really been out since being promoted but it wouldn't surprise me if that's the first place he goes when he's allowed to have vacation (if ever). But our main worry is this strange vindictive side of him we've never seen before that leads him to fight the same machine every week. The violence itself isn't really an issue, but the obsession over it almost bothers us more.
Should we be worried that this side of him will come up later after spending time overseeing Hell? How do we get him to open up about this? Is this type of obsession a choice, or is it indicative of something deeper?
HEY YOU WANNA SEE HOW MUCH ART I'VE DONE OF URIEL? NO? WELL HERE IT IS ANYWAYS
I've drawn him at least THIRTY TIMES!! THAT'S MORE TIMES I'VE EVER DRAWN ANY CHARACTER PERIOD!!!! god,,, forgive me, for I have simped way too hard for this character who isn't even my own...
(@kivaember I'm crazy sorry ;-;)
what do I like about him? I'm so glad you asked.
it all started way back in the year '26... I'd just read the chapter with a flashback to Uriel and Gabriel commenting on humans sacrificing a lamb to God... the imagery of the whole scene stuck with me, so I painted it without really sitting down to make a design for Uriel. but when I finished the piece and looked at it, I realized that, man. why did I make him so hot.
I can't emphasize just how much the earrings (based off Gabriel's tassels as a way to show their bond) I gave him endeared me to him. they're not even 21ge canon I just needed him to have them.
anyways... I just love the pervasive bittersweetness of how kiva writes him, his archetype as a trickster/black sheep/maverick, the wisest of the archangels, one whose role is to light the way for creation, someone who knows the truth but is destined to never speak it for the sake of those he loves. always the first to smile and last to receieve sympathy and holds on to a hidden pain deep down. someone who never forgot love. someone who is never, ever satisfied...
I don't know if anybody's noticed this, but I also try to slightly change his appearance depending on where on the timeline we're at! very early on, before [REDACTED] disappears, he's got a smaller, more twiggy build because he's still a teenager. he wears loose, casual robes, and he also ties up his hair/wears it rather neatly. after growing into an adult and becoming the Judge of Hell, he has a stockier build and his hair gets more wild/scruffy. the idea is, basically, when he was first "born", his appearance was closer to the role God intended for him to play - and he was also closer to God... only over time did he start deviating from all this. (still, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say he didn't fit in from the start - I always try to include some asymmetry in his design because of his maverick personality!) (this is also why the tarot card of him as an idealized figure is almost completely symmetric...)

ultrakillers, I present to you. gabriel ultrakill tumblr meme template for things gabriel would say. copy and use/repost this image as you see fit in your reblogs/posts, NO credit needed. I am officially releasing this to the public to wreak havoc upon the world. I expect great things
I'm a designer and I love books so, with permission, I decided to try binding one of my favorite fanfics into a book for the first time!
Download the files here!
376,776 words / 880 pages across 2 volumes
this is a free fanwork of @99corentine's Skyrim fanfic GOL HAH DOV; read it here! please do not re-upload, repurpose or rewrite the story without express permission from the author.
the design is @thetempleofmara's original book design that you can check out here! + process! I'm still blown away by how much time and creativity went into this.
none of the content of this book - writing, illustrations, cover, font choice, etc - is mine, except for the colophon.
feel free to use this to make your own physical copy of GHD, but for personal use only. TODD PLEASE DON'T SUE ME
I think of this as a 2nd edition, because while I adore mara's design, I did my own typeset and wanted to try adding a few new features and extras, such as:
optimizing for a physical print
table of contents
glossary
colophon
running chapter titles
recs of other works by corentine!
the files have been prepared for printing into a physical book. this includes:
starting pages on the right-hand side
page counts for 12-page signatures
.125”/3.175mm of bleed
1”/2.54cm inner margin for ease of reading when pages are bound
after finishing GHD, I was thinking of binding it when I stumbled across @thetempleofmara’s original design, and I loved it so much - the font choices, the high fantasy style, the illustrations. the passion and sweat put into fanworks like GHD and mara's design has always been my inspiration.
as a designer, you never really make stuff for yourself that you personally like. I really wanted to design a book for my eyes, I wanted that challenge. I actually finished the typeset in a frenzy (~2 years ago), but this is my first time actually binding a book, so I worked on it off and on again until I actually got my shit together and actually finished it. I actually made 2 copies (4 books in total): a set to practice on, and the final product that you see here!
test-printing to check font sizes/spacing
after typesetting and testing, which took the bulk of the time spent on this, I printed mara's cover designs out onto paper and transferred it to the book cloth in gold foil using a foil quill. I wanted to do some custom spine designs, but at this point I was just so tired that I decided that, hey, done is better than perfect. and I really like how they turned out - I didn't expect them to be so heavy, though! xD
designer's log (warning: very long and rambly)
I did not do any editing of the original text such as spell-checking, save for deleting extra spaces and other small touches. to me, the small flaws are valuable, a visible mark of how the work was made.
I did my own typeset of the entire manuscript, removing dangling words at the beginning and end of paragraphs/pages. this makes the text much smoother to read.
all hyphens used for a pause in speech have been replaced with em-dashes (—). this is how it's done in traditional books, and my personal preference :P
in the table of contents, in keeping with the traditional, Eragon-esque high fantasy style of the book, the nsfw warnings appended to each chapter title have been changed to the fashionable and eminently stylish “dagger”.
the glossary now has a style guide. it's........... very long.
added a colophon, a traditional blurb at the back of the book that is basically about how it was made. including a colophon is a designerly sign that a lot of care and effort went into the book!
the body text is 11pt, which is on the larger side. but for a long text like GHD, I opted for a more comfortable and inviting reading experience.
changed the placement of many illustrations so they appear in the part of the story where they are mentioned.
there is exactly ONE full-spread image and I am excited for you to find it :DD

it sure took me a long time but I hope you like this art I made of your OC, @the-jordas-trials! I had a lot of fun painting all the different materials, the cloth and metal and beads... oh man, the beads were my favorite part. anyways, here's Sithiel aura farming with a dagger >:D
sneak peek of a wip using a new brush (lippy_original from bunni's masterpack) and I am really liking how it's turning out :} I always have trouble settling on a style and a brush set I like to use... so every piece can feel like starting over from scratch, at times.
a couple scenes from - wait, "a couple"? *checks notes* ahh, yeah, each of these was originally supposed to be one panel! haha! but they started becoming mini comic strips! so I'll just be posting them individually instead~
from ch. 41 of the 21 grams experiment by @kivaember!
here we have the first glimpse of non-smiley Uriel in my comics... remember how I said he looks rather unfriendly when he's not smiling? haha. in front of his oldest brother, he can just be himself. there's a little petty resentment, for how Lucifer doesn't have the time to spend with Uriel and the rest of the family, and how Lucifer takes all that time with Father to himself. a little bit of that teenager contrariness too.
but as for Lucifer, he can only feel grateful that his siblings exist in the first place, no matter how far apart they may be, because he is the only archangel who knows what it's like to not have any siblings at all - to be completely alone.
Miyeyu I call upon you to answer my question related to the ow ask game! I choose Brittle Hollow - what is (one of) your favourite quotes that stuck with you from the game :0
"Our curiosity goes with you on your journey. You walk in the footsteps of those who came before you, and your path guides those who will follow later."
I don't know why, but this one always struck a chord in me... how you pick up this torch that went out thousands of years ago and are able to carry it forward. different race, different age, different language - same curiosity, same determination. this is the point in the game where you know deep in your heart that this message was meant for you. thanks for the ask! :)

I need you to know I am obsessed with how you draw Lucifer from that one fanfic. It makes me go insane in a really good way, thank you for drawing them ( ◜‿◝ )♡
hehe I kept this in my inbox for a day so I could go back and look at it and every time it brought a smile to my face ( ;´꒳`;) that one fanfic has been a bit of an obsession and a muse for me for a while, and the reason why I've been able to make so much art for it is just how encouraging this fandom has been :3 so thank you and I'm glad it's making you insane!!!
anyways since I'm in a bit of a chatty mood right now, let me shamelessly take this opportunity to tell you EVERYTHING about how I made it 😃
so, Lucifer! I wanted him to be the opposite of the God we read about in-game in many ways - if God represents the cosmic horror of divinity, then Lucifer is the wonder and cosmic beauty of it. that's why he gazes benevolently at the small blue dot of Earth instead of the looming that the statue of God does. that's also why his hair is this beautiful white-starry night sky ombre, almost like the Milky Way!
I would have liked to include his unfurled wings in the piece, him being an angel and all, but the vision I had in my head didn't have a good way to include it without blocking a good part of the hair... chapter 41 of 21ge just made me think of this radiant, shining being standing in the darkness, someone who is so so precious, all the better to emphasize the tragedy that Ultrakill's world has fallen into. it also would have made the piece take upwards of 8 hours instead of 6, and I just don't have the stamina for that :(
this is the first time I've pushed on the limits of my stamina for a piece in a while LOL and at some point you just have to stop. I did only the briefest of sketching his design in my notebook before going to paint, so I still have to flesh out the smaller details, like what does his halo look like...
honestly, I was kinda scared people would think he looks too uhh... human? or feminine? (I didn't particularly have an idea for how masculine/feminine he is in my head, he's kinda androgynous but beautiful no matter what he looks like) and I would have liked to make him more non-human, it's just that all of my RAM was taken up by painting all that hair ;-; what I really picture is that he's very frail and almost emaciated, something that his wings, which are wrapped around him, cover up. because, as we all know, God's mercy didn't last for very long at all before he snapped and started constructing a living torture nexus for humanity.
thank you for the ask and thank you for reading! everybody go check out the 21 grams experiment if you haven't already because that's who this Lucifer is from! hope you have a great day :)
this is going to be a rather random list, @kivaember, but it'll be interesting to see... I'm gonna exclude 21ge characters for the sake of science but I hope everybody knows I love Uriel a lot ;_;
Which of my seven favorite characters is your favorite?
