I’m gonna put this out here since I’m getting a lot of new followers and I just want to make sure we’re on the same page! 

 I’m trans (this is not a recent development),  not going to get into the details of it!  But I’m currently having a bit of a time sorting out my own preferred pronouns.  Currently going by she-they, this is a recent development. 

I tend to portray a lot of characters as various kinds of queer, I am also queer, if for some reason you find this upsetting I am very sorry but this probably isn’t the blog for you.

I need to go through and organize my aus please forgive the mess!

my buddy tuna and I where joking about how angels probably can't smoke, and it came around to the idea of Gabriel burning incense in his helmet like a walking censer/thurible and just smelling violently like frankincense and sage all the time

I thought the idea was rather fun so have some doodles!

late night reminder to self: your depressive episode will not last forever. it will have an end. tonight will not be the end of you.

Because the essence of humanity and life as a whole is a constellation of connections with one another. We are all here in this cosmos together, from the tiniest creatures to the distant stars.

You're not alone.

you got lots of company, and you're gonna be okay 🫂

not ultrakill art, but I've had a rough couple days socially and this is a really good reminder I think. thought it would be good to share in the art lull.

peels them out of their armor.

or, a little diagram to show the difference between them in the au. plus a little glimpse at what they both look like without the shell.

v1 is an artificially made lifeform. basically a soul that grew into the armor like a hermit crab. without it v1 would wither away and die. he needs blood to keep himself alive. so it is in a sense "eating" even if its more like fuel for his magic. he can feel sensation through the armor as if it was skin- since it essentially IS for him.

Gabriel on the other hand, is a spirit trapped in a flesh and blood body. so while he bleeds and feels like a regular human, that in of itself is very strange and limiting to him. it is unclear what would happen if his body dies. as far as he knows, it would kill him. the council claims they have a way to free him if he follows their orders.

v1 looooves being alive and learning and feeling and has an immense capacity for fun and cruelty both. his drive to continue living stems mostly from wanting to experience more of life.

Gabriel is struggling to understand what exhaustion and hunger are. he's never been cold before. or warm, it's very hard to experience "comfort" when you are above physical sensation, his drive to continue living stems quite immensely from a fear of what happens if he does. if he cannot return to heaven or hell, does he simply cease to be?

Your Ultrakill Knight au is some of the most creative stuff to ever come out of this fandom. Living armor V1 looks sick as hell, also it bird chirping is adorable!

I can imagine it setting up in a town that isn't important enough to get any sort of knight or guards from the king. Its relationship with the townsfolk is pretty shaky at first because V1 doesn't have any insignia tying it to a king or any of the local lords (also it is CLEARLY not human, like at all).

Until they realize its been dealing with dangerous wild animals and bandits on the outskirts. And inside the town its pretty docile, (there is a barn cat perched on its shoulder, one of its hands is slowly stroking it, like its never petted an animal before).

Eventually the townsfolk are like "Idk what this thing is but its our knight now." Its also pretty nice it doesn't ask for money or grain in return for its services. Although sometimes the townsfolk toss it a shiny coin every now and then.

Oh goodness this is such a kind ask!  My longest running fandom is transformers, and we make au’s like nobodies business over there, so it shocked me no one had done this yet!!  I figured I might as well, even if I’m not the most skilled! 

And reading this, this is exactly what I was going for.  The original meeting is very much a “keep your distance and don’t make eye contact and maybe it will leave” but v1 just, doesn’t. And eventually it ends up being more helpful than it is frightful.  So they slowly warm up to him.  They’ve all heard rumors of something wicked in the woods nearby, they hope maybe he will keep them safe from it. (Unfortunately, he IS it lol)  

But yes! The observation that he very specifically doesn’t serve anyone is especially true,  to the point where eventually the villagers claim him as theirs, so he can have some sort of title. Even it’s a rather lowly one. (Thought its about as good as naming a stray cat) 

I also think the idea that animals are strangely drawn to v1, despite his hellish nature, is very compelling.  They seem to know he’s more like them than a human.  Meanwhile birds flee wherever Gabriel goes,  something about him seems to put fear in most creatures just by proximity.  (It makes him rather sad) 

Also fun fact, v1 chirps through stridulation, like a cricket!!  Just with armor plates instead of chitin He is a weird bug to me :)

anyhow, accept this doodle as a thank you!

little doodle continuation of the gala scene for the knight au!

Gabriel gets overwhelmed by people asking him to dance, v1 gets dragged in to be a replacement. and takes it as a challenge. they may not be allowed to fight at a formal event but they sure do get close.

and then Gabriel goes and blows his cover as an inhuman, and everything spirals into chaos. :)

Knight au Gabriel "expressions" sheet

wanted to make sure it read very clearly as "divine being sealed inside a vessel" and not as the armor itself thats alive, since that is the primary difference between himself and v1!

the armor itself does warp a little bit with his emotions, enough that it might be a little freaky to the townsfolk, should they pay enough attention.

he also has to be careful not to permanently blind anyone by accident, since seeing his bare "face" does bad things to a regular human,
