Wip intro made on canva, through its resources, with images from the windswept picrew by Elena-illustration.

✨The ghost-hunting-show-run-by-a-demon wip intro!✨

This was supposed to have been ready around Halloween, but moving to an apartment and health stuff happened, so it ended up greatly delayed.

I just noticed the image quality is not fully loading on standard display, but it does look normal when you see one by one. I also noticed I typed "heavy lifting" in two different ways. It's enough now that you get the meaning.

It's a bit on the longer side, but I hope it will be given a chance to be read.

The magnificent @shay-creates gifted me art of Dominique/Jamal, the prop master of Grim Congregation, and Eustace, the sacrificial shark plushie acquired in mass purchase of 2 hundred units on sale.

Eustace gets dropped around the haunted places to evaluate the ghosts' vibes by how they interact with him. He gets torn to shreds a lot.

Grim Congregation is a story about a ghost hunting show run by a demon on a mission by god.

The demons and their vessels + 1 shapeshifter 🪽

Some of you already have seen most of this, but anyways.

First demon/fallen angel is Lucifer. He's going to be red, because why not. Evil red creature is red. You might notice that I applied the vitiligo effect - that's because him being cast out of heaven is supposed to have been brutal and involved a level of struggle that makes him seem almost a chimera of demonic traits and things that speak of when he was an angel.

Said struggle and consequent turbulent emotions and drastic actions are also why his bandages are bloody, but Adder's aren't. It has to do with the ripped wings.

The first human is Valentín, one of people contracted with Lucifer that he occasionally uses as a vessel. That thing on his neck has to do with how fallen angels are able to do possessions. Connie has something similar from Adder, but inside his wrists.

Valentín's contract was a standard gamble for a rich and successful life.

The second demon/fallen angel is Adder. He is very different from Lucifer on the sense that he was not cast out, he left and accepted all the consequences. He's like a younger brother to Lucifer, and they infuriate the fuck out of each other like toxic families would ("YOU WANT TO BECOME DAD, I WANTED TO LEAVE").

Adder is sorts of a name keeper.

The second human/vessel is Connie. His contract was about arranging means for Adder to run the ghost hunting show, and for Connie to deal with his suicidal ideation and desire to not be in control of his body or life.

The last 2 picrews are Tomcat. You see those leathery wings? They have wings because they are a 3rd generation demon. Their mutations allow wings because unlike the ones the fallen angels had, these wings never have and never will mean a certain holy connection with God.

Later demon generations are also usually capable of shape-shifting enough to pass as humans, and as they are purely demonic, unlike fallen angels, they can navigate Earth recklessly without ever needing to rely on vessels

And that white hand is an extreme spoiler

part 5 of fake tweets for my wip, Grim Congregation, about a ghost hunting webseries run by a demon that tells the public it is fiction

this time it's about Jamal, the "prop master", with some references to a micro side character (priest Connor)

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4

fake tweets part 4 + 1 fake message exchange

this part focuses on Connie more than Lexi, who are in contracts with Adder, the demon who runs this ghost hunting web series that the public is told is fictional

the public is also told Connie is the special effects director, with a direct hand on the aesthetics and designs of the show, because he has the actual career for it, and as an inside joke about Adder regularly possessing his body to direct the "ghost hunting"
