#askerasmos

I would like to redesign Krozlaug and Erasmos themselves (a lot of the divines are due for a design overhaul) but as for their monsters, I'm pretty satisfied with the current look of the cyclopes and demons.

Divines don't like to reveal every single ingredient they used to forge their monsters (they gotta keep some trade secrets!) but it is known that some of the ingredients used to make cyclopes were: minotaur horns, ogre hides, troll ears, granite dust, and satyr bones.

While some ingredients to forge demons were: satyr horns and hearts, maenad wine, bat wings, and aphrodisiacs.

Thank you so much! I think he's a really fun character with so much potential for a good story. I can't wait to incorporate him into the main series.

The hard part is trying to decide which direction to go with him. Should he have happy ending, or forever continue down his path of lonely bitterness? I haven't decided yet...

Basically everyone in Drifters Hollow be like:

Another glorious meme for the vault! Excellent!!

Erasmos is certainly related to Itchy! The relation is very distant though. Like, many, many generations have passed between them. The bloodline is faint, but it's there!

Erasmos would be so freaking salty if he met Itchy. He'd feel so burned that this dumpy, slobby old satyr somehow snagged himself a hot loving wife, a quaint little house, two nice kids, and genuine happiness.

He wouldn't understand how Itchy could have these things but he himself can't, and it would really piss him off. Erasmos puts so much stock into appearance, he can't understand the concept of falling in love with someone's personality. No one has ever loved him before, nor has he ever loved anyone else. He's only known sexual attraction, so he assumes that's all there is in life.

Itchy might be an ugly old slob, but he won Ginger's heart by demonstrating selflessness, loyalty, tenacity, and courage. Erasmos lacks these qualities. He has poor social skills because he thinks only of himself and his own needs. He never puts himself in another person's shoes, nor does he empathize with anyone, because he just doesn't care about how other people feel. He doesn't see the value in that, and doesn't understand that it's the main reason he's so lonely.

Erasmos lives entirely in his own miserable head and he's too afraid to step out of it. That's the true reason why no one wants to be around him. He can blame his deformed face all he wants, but in reality it's his horrendous vibes and shitty personality that keep people away.

I think this is actually a very interesting question! To find the answer, we should look at who created the demons and why they behave the way they do.

Demons were forged by the Divine of Lechery, Erasmos. He's a really pathetic guy, not because of his deformities but because of his nasty self-defeating attitude and misanthropic behavior. Instead of working on self-improvement and becoming someone worth loving, he decided to forge an army of sex slaves that he could use and abuse. These were demons--the incubi and succubi. Unfortunately for Erasmos, his monsters were just as flawed as himself. They turned on him and escaped into the world, where they prey on peoples worldwide.

Erasmos designed the demons to lust after loneliness and sexual frustration so that they would desire him most. They can smell these qualities and it attracts them like food, because to demons, sex is food. They will literally die without it, so they seek it out frequently and become volatile when it's denied to them.

But the thing about this is, the less satisfying the sex is, the less they are nourished by it. This is why demons become so parasitic after someone consents for the first time--they're now relying on that person to satisfy them sexually every night or else they will starve.

So, knowing all this, let's go back to your question. Are there pedophile demons? I'm going to say no.

These monsters don't view sex the same way peoples do. To peoples it's about pleasure and power, but for demons it's literally about survival. Despite their flaws they are still quite intelligent, and they're intelligent enough to know that children would be a waste of time in this regard.

A demon preying on children would be like an eagle preying on an ant in a field full of rabbits. Why would it waste time with a pointless crumb when there are full meals everywhere? There is nothing that a child could offer one of these creatures, especially considering children can't consent to sex anyway. A demon's victim must consent or else the demon can't initiate anything sexual--their natural "programming" won't allow it. This is why they get so pushy with their prey, and why they get violent when that prey says "no" after consenting previously.

Neckbeards come from all walks of life. Single mothers, single fathers, two-parent households, rich, poor, it doesn't really matter...sometimes you can do everything right as a parent and your kid still turns out to be a neckbeard. There's too many factors to consider beyond just parenting.

I think Eramos' relation to Tomato is way too distant to get him into a royal gala in this case (though his status as a divine might allow him to slip in as a special guest, it just depends on the function and who is hosting it).

If Cinnamon married one of Jelani and Azura's kids, then yes, she would be considered part of a royal family and earn the right to attend!

He sure can! But this is Erasmos we're talking about...

1 ) he's a coward

2 ) he keeps getting cursed over and over because bro is addicted to demon ass. The demons are attracted to his pathetic energy and new ones keep showing up regularly to tempt him. He just can't say no to his own urges!
