cw: bugs, centipede , mold , decay

there is love in me the likes of which you've never seen.
there is rage in me the likes of which should never escape.
if i am not satisfied in the one, i will indulge the other.

cw: bugs, centipede , mold , decay Screenshots of my oc Minthe. TOP IMAGE: Against a verdant background, Minthe grips their head in rising, itching agony to what horrors lingered still in Ermine's veins as he passed. It's almost overwhelmingly guilt, despair, regret, and fear of a life he lived shackled by his unwillingness to move on from his first true love. Their eyes are closed, nose scrunched up, lips tense and teeth gritting. It is a pain they have never known before, but will learn to endure. BOTTOM IMAGE: Perhaps before or after the top image, Minthe holds their new face in their hand in blissful ecstasy, loving memory still lingering in Ermine's corpse of residual dynamis tipped towards possessive love. It is warm -- fiery passionate even -- and it is a warmth that will feed the taking root within. Both images are meant to flicker between each other, both happening almost simultaneously as rage and compassion live hand in hand.

—And then comes the horror.

A screenshot of my oc Minthe. With their head now reattached, Minthe familiarizes themselves with their new form. TOP IMAGE: A small, initial breath rises in Minthe, leaving their lips slightly parted while the image is cropped to keep their eyes out of shot. But change can already be seen as their hair ashens to a faded blonde. BOTTOM IMAGE: The image is no longer cropped now, Minthe's new eyes now completely different as they've taken over their new form with near totality at this point. They smile, although the smile doesn't reach their eyes and they look towards the camera with unblinking eeriness. They touch a finger to their cheek, almost in disblief that they succeded. Black tendrils creep across their cheeks and reach towards their new eyes.

A screenshot of my oc Minthe. With their head now reattached, Minthe familiarizes themselves with their new form. Both images are the same pose from different angles: Minthe tenderly touches where their head has been reattached to this new body. Their expression is not immediately clear, eyes obscured.

And then comes the loss...

cw: decapitation , headless , bugs, centipede , mold , decay TOP IMAGE: A screenshot of my oc's Ermine and Minthe. Decay and rot have already made Ermine's body their home, a living collective & seedkin known as Minthe. They hold Ermine's decapitated head tenderly in their hands as they bring it up to their mouth for what almost looks to be for consumption. Ermine, still blushing with life, has passed with a look of surrendering bliss having lived his last minutes with acceptance of the death awaiting for him. They are in front of a verdant background, warm light focused on the both of them. BOTTOM IMAGE: As Minthe starts to take root in Ermine, black tendrils reanimate the muscles and nerves in Ermine's face which look on in horror at what is to come. As the loss of self seeps in, something else takes root though Minthe still holds Ermine tenderly to quell any lingering fears despite the soul being gone from the corpse.

#TheMintheGarden : Unless you burn out & smother every last spore, root, sapling of the Minthe collective, they cannot die. Now they take like 5ever to reform into "Minthe" so it is possible, but so as long as a part of them is still around then they will regenerate—

fuck it #WoLQotD time

What's one thing (or multiple things) wildly op or "mary-sue-ish" about your OC and how does it make your character better or more compelling? We deserve to celebrate our blorbos instead of feeling ashamed of aspects of them

My pulse ebbs with yours.
Death frees us from the torment of parting.
I cannot part with you. I am you.

A screenshot of my oc Ermine's face being tenderly caressed by another, the rot and growth prominent on their hand while Ermine's face is still blooming with life.
