Horrors, Cosmic and Otherwise

[mark_asphodel]

Where the HELL did all that snow come from?  I was caught totally off-guard by that and it sure altered the course of my day.

Have been reading H.P. Lovecraft over the last few days, plus I watched Downfall the other night.  Many weird ideas ensued.  Note to Magvel fans: a little eldritch cosmic horror would be totally appropriate for the Demon King and his works, yes?  As for the other... well, we'll see.

Started writing again after a considerable drought; unfortunately it's all new stuff instead of any WIPs that need the "P" part kicked into gear.  One's an FE3 piece (which might evolve into FE12 depending on the amount of wangst), the other is a Forde-and-Franz story called "Brothers in Arms" (yes, after the Dire Straits album).

sarajayechan  has a nice discussion of FE12 going on-- if you missed the wailing and gnashing of teeth last summer, this is a good place to catch up.  I love her ideas re: Michalis.  Also, her description of FE12!Marth as "bad fanfic Eliwood meets anime!Marth" is a perfect way of conveying why FE12 made me want to take him out behind the barn and just shoot him.

Oh, the idea isn't quite so much that the Demon King is an Elder God sort of being as that his creatures and his manifestation would carry that same sort of sensory-bending horror to them.

Not just, you know, "Oh hay, a couple of three-headed dogs and a big-ass spider are coming our way!" I'm as big an advocate for "realism" in battles as you'll see 'round these parts, but maybe realism is not quite what Dark Creatures demand.

Then again, Three Kerchiefs suggests you have the horror vibe down.
