Hi!!! I loved the fifth chapter of Rakul and the third chapter of Shimsiam. I'm so happy that you are writing them, and I'm always excited when I see you upload a new chapter đ„° I was wondering what stories inspired you to start writing about demons. Can you recommend some? đ
Hello and thank you so much for the Ask! While I canât think of any one story that inspired my Demon original characters, in my notes from 1/31/22 just over one year ago, I reference a few movies as story and place inspirations: Maleficent, Legend (1985), and The Last Unicorn. Iâd written a little over 1k of a story, inspired by the dark and romantic lyrics of the song âThe Killing Moonâ, about a demon Thrawn who finds a teenage girl, Elise (female Eli) in the forest, captures and seduces her, then takes her to the Black Fortress as an offering to the evil Demon King there (demon Emperor Palpatine), but in the last minute lets Elise escape from the rest of the demons and he is imprisoned. Elise helps him escape his prison cell, but she is severely injured and near death as he flies her away from the Fortress. So there are several elements of that story that DID end up becoming part of Rakul, but that specific story is one of my few truly abandoned ideas. And it was reborn into Rakul and the sequel to Rakul, which will feature demon Thrawn and demon Thrass, as well as Elise as female Eli once again (which is at least half written, but the exact ending point is undetermined at the moment). That sequel was begun on Feb. 2, 2022, and the first chapter of Rakul was begun Feb. 23, 2022 and published on AO3 2/25/22. Anyway, most of the inspiration for all of these stories was simply some dark song lyrics and a certain mood. I actually didnât start reading a lot of romance novels until later in 2022, and I actually havenât read any demon stories like mine before, so there isnât any specific novel I could recommend that inspired my demons unfortunately.
Finally, there IS a very lovely romantic fanfic about demon!Thrawn and human Eli already on AO3:
Elysian Fields
Inspired by âElysian Fieldsâ by The Mechanisms
âThe Elysian Fields, also called Elysium, are the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous [in Greek mythology and religion].â
My friend is listening to a nostalgia playlist and the song âOnly Wanna Be With Youâ by Hootie & the Blowfish came on and honestly suddenly all I could think about was a secret relationship/situationship between Steddie where Eddie was trying to keep it casual and refused to accept it was anything more than a non-exclusive FWB situation while Steve wanted more.
It blows up, because of course it does, and Steve decides he canât do it anymore and tells Eddie itâs over and to respect him enough to give him space and not contact him for a while and is very firm itâs over because he respects himself enough to give himself that.
And Eddie. Eddie hates it. Hates to acknowledge that Steve was correct when he said that Eddie never met him halfway, that Eddie always expected Steve to listen to what Eddie wanted when they were together, to watch what Eddie wanted, to do what Eddie wanted. That Eddie never tried to be a part of Steveâs life like Steve tried to be a part of his. Hates that he took Steve for granted. Hates that he made Steve feel like Eddie was ashamed of him.
Realizes how much he only wants Steve. They werenât exclusive, and Eddie flirted with others, but he never actually did anything with anyone else. Because all he wanted, even if he couldnât admit it to himself at the time, was Steve.
So he writes Steve a little pop rock song, confessing his feelings in such a cringe and embarrassing way for a metalhead, but he knows thatâs that what he needs to do for even a chance at getting Steve back. So he writes a song in the style Steve would like, convinces Robin to take Steve out to the bar while CC is playing (it takes some doing but Robin lets Eddie know when Steve is ready for seeing Eddie again), and then Eddie stops their normal set in the middle of their show to play Steve his song.
He looks at Steve the entire time.
They finish the rest of their set as normal but him and Steve talk after and Eddie apologizes profusely and Steve doesnât accept yet, but he agrees to give Eddie a second chance. ButâŠEddie has to woo him properly.
And Eddie?
That man fucking delivers. Heâs buying flowers, chocolates, writing love songs and love poems, picking Steve up and dropping him off at work, hanging out with him to do the things that Steve likes to do, even if that means playing basketball with him, taking him on dates and pushing for nothing more than a chaste kiss at the end of the nightâwith he asks permission for each time. He is complimenting Steve in front of everyone and letting everyone know how fucking gone he is for Steve Harrington.
And Steve laps it up.
He eventually tells Eddie he forgives him, but warns Eddie that he better never pull that fucking shit again.
And Eddie doesnât.
And they move on and finally allow themselves to be as in love as they have always been, even if it took a while to accept it.
And, years later, when they both become Mr. Munson-Harrington, Eddie and the rest of CC stand up and head to the instrument on the small raised platform and Eddie croons Steveâs song and looks his groom in the eye the entire time.
Because he only wants to be with Steve.

The detail!! â„Oâ„
Today's art was actually inspired by a song I'm obsessed with right now, so check it out if you're interested!
Made in late September/early October of last year
OTA designs I made that nobody adopted TwT
Iâm still very proud of them and might be willing to trade them, but I also might keep them as D&D OCs weâll see.
theyâre based on inferno by yeule, curious/furious by WILLOW, Chokehold Cherry Python by Ashnikko, and quiet, i canât think by safesp8ce
I put too much thought into these designs so if anyone wants to know the details lmk
So I was casually listening to Devil's Backbone by The Civil Wars and got an idea. So A good Christian girl lives in the middle of the woods in a little cabin. She's like in her mid 20's and she's been living alone for about 5 years. One day in fall maybe like September her home gets broken into by a man on the run. He of course threatens her and says he'll stay only for a while. He also makes her go into town which is about a few miles out. He makes her buy even more food for the both of them and ALCOHOL; with the money he's taken. He thinks at some point she won't come back but she does every single time. She doesn't know why either. One day he gets super drunk and he tells her everything. After that they have an understanding of each other and have a weird bond. He adds in a few pet names after a while and at some point he notices she blushes every time so he increases it a bit more. But- at some point when he stops she knows it's time. What will she choose? The religion that has saved her from damnation or a man that will do nothing but damn her.
A compilation of vent arts featuring my vent art oc lmao. She got a new hairdo here.
First one was inspired by my favorites in lady gaga's album chromatica. They resonated with me.
Second one, I was just sad and upset.
got funky w some colors :3
inspired by the song âi know youâ by faye webster
I'm about to start making song based comics. If I should continue to make these please add some suggestions and/or any character and OCs you would like to do one with. (Comment songs canons,ocxcanon,etc...) |You can also join if you want| (Message me if so)
