Felt this so fucking hard
I never have a proper reason for redesigning tbh. Sometimes I'll just wake up one day and the vibes are all wrong
I’m stealing this to talk about Chaotic Minds AU for a hot sec (because I frankly do not talk about it enough).
Malevolent canon is all about this, humanity, experiencing the worst of it and going “yes, this is what I want”. Chaotic Minds is not that.
CM is about abandoning your humanity. In Malevolent, John is turned to humanity by Arthur, but in CM, Arthur is pulled away from it by Kayne. Of course, this Arthur is Darthur, he already had a bit less humanity. He experienced the worst of it and he *doesn’t want it*. CM is about escapism. It’s finding unhealthy relationships and clinging onto them because they mean you’re not alone.
Sinner is, by their very nature, a toxic relationship. It’s codependency to the highest degree. They use each other to escape from all the pain.
They never want to hurt again and that means giving up their humanity.
Malevolent and the Epic of Gilgamesh take up the same part of my brain
River and Styx, avatars of the End
These are some new OCs and they were made for both TMA and non-TMA uses but I’ll just give the TMA lore.
They are avatars of the end that died together centuries ago. Now they lead people to their death with their music. If you hear sweet music coming from the bayou, it’s time to go. In general, they are fairly relaxed individuals and are not nearly as malicious as most avatars. They also have a pet gator named “Ferry”. She’s the most spoiled gator in the whole south.
This is another OC of mine, I love him. He’s also very traumatized.
Feel free to ask questions or simp over him. You wouldn’t be the first
Caellum feeling a little silly goofy
Awww, thank you! I’ll actually give you another aspect to him that I discussed with my friends.
One of the people he hunted was a mother with an intense love for her daughter. He killed her and made a mask out of her without much thought. However, her love was so strong that it transferred into the mask and onto him. He now feels compelled by motherly instinct to take care of the child. Baby is now his and he does what he can to take care of her because some part of him feels love. Mother is actually the mask he is wearing on top of his head and is the one that gets used most often. Baby adores Theater and is very good with him.
They go see shows together.
The new combo avatar is complete! Say hello to Theater, the combination of the Stranger and the Hunt!
This charming fella was once an archeologist and anthropologist for the British Museum. While on an excavation, he discovered a wolf mask and decided to study it. What he did not know was this particular mask was the product of a Stranger avatar when they stole the flesh from a Hunt avatar. Both fears ended up melding into the mask and he became corrupted by it.
Now, he is known as an abomination by all avatars. He hunts down his prey using the masks, acting as a master of disguise. Each prey becomes another mask. He takes on the form as well as a bit of the personality of the mask he wears. Though…when he started hunting other avatars, that changed things.
Now, he can use aspects of the avatar’s abilities in his hunting. Different styles for different avatars. He does not become an avatar for the fears of the masks, but he can use some of their power and fighting style. So far, the fears he has masks of are the Dark, the Slaughter, and the Corruption.
He is not to be trifled with.
Sharp or soft is the plight of every artist. I always spend the longest on it too. So many intricate colors

The government’s worst fear, a queer disabled man with an axe and only his dignity to lose. Fight for the weak my friends.
William Vangrove (Avatar of the Flesh and the Dark)
(TW: MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, NON-CONSENSUAL SURGERY, BODY HORROR)
This is William Vangrove, an avatar of the Dark and the Flesh.
As a disgraced surgeon, the debt began to pile up and he needed money, so…the black market organ trade was an enticing path. He was a good surgeon. He *was* a good surgeon. He would be good enough to collect organs without much issue. It was easy enough to find victims, but…he picked the wrong one eventually. This victim was taken over by something else and its home had been disturbed so, they needed a new one. The creatures, a mess of liquid void, eyes and teeth, filled every part of his body and influenced his mind. Urging him to spread the creatures and find more hosts. The creatures need darkness and food to develop and that makes human bodies the perfect incubator.
Designing this avatar was fun! I especially love the creature but I think I still like Caelum Fairchild (the Vast x Spiral avatar) better. He’s just so silly.
