#malthael

Sorry, reposting because I forgot the texture layer >< When Cursed AU was first being developed, @seraphixuss gave me this agonizing idea: What if Malthael and Rathma had met before D3 happened, and speaking with someone as obsessed with research and knowledge as himself had almost -delayed- his fall. That thought's stayed with me for a long time, so I decided to comic it out to the lyrics of a pop song from the 1960s. "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" by The Fortunes. This hurt so good to draw.

Like he looked over at Diablo and saw Malthael, Archangel of Wisdom and was like. 'Good Archon. I'm not doing that. Devos you don't do that either.'

Priest's of Rathma often sleep in crypts. It's part of their initiation, and they just become more used to, more comfortable over time.

Skeletons will occasionally form bone piles around a sleeping priest that they like to protect them while they're vulnerable. Not because they've been commanded to, but because of their link to death and the innate human tendency to pack bond and protect one another.

Malthael discovers this manually as he returns to where he left his nephalem in a mausoleum only to find Rathma completely covered in bones, even snuggled into them. Like some weird gristly nest.

So update: still Malthael obsessed I’m pretty sure that will never change, I continued my cringey ass fanfic! And changed the name. What started out as a shitpost and a joke to my friends is now becoming a legit passion project for me and I’ve also decided that in between writing the chapters on Ao3 I am also illustrating it into a webcomic! It’s still a massive WIP but I did a test run today using the very first bit of the first chapter just to see if I could do it. A sample of this is down below :]

You guys can lmk what you think, I’m really nervous about even posting this because all of this is outside my comfort zone right now, but I know I have some really cool mutuals on this blog and I’d love to see what they think!

I apologize in advance, for some reason it exported really shit quality so I need to figure that out before I start posting the completed chapters

Forgot I had this
