a bunch of mike crew doodles from a yeaaar ago
I plan on filling out the form tomorrow! I hope I can be of much help for your Bachelor's Thesis! <3
Hello!
I am a student at Stockholm University conducting a small study to gather information for my bachelor thesis. The form is directed at worshpiiers of Persephone and Hades and mostly focuses on how you experience the deities and their relationship to one another. Concerning the study it mostly focuses on how neo-pagans here on tumblr approach their deities and what sources they consider valueble for their spirituality/religion. Filling the form could take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour depending on how many of the qustions choose to answer and how much you write in the free form questions, it can also be completed anonomously.
If you are interested, please take the form! I would also appreciate it if you could reblog this post and spread it. Also, if you think this subject sounds interesting feel free to shoot me an ask/dm as I’m always down to talk about it :)

[Part 1 - Joel / Part 2 - Joey / Part 3 - Kathrine]
I'm ashamed to say I've never actually watched any of Sausage's eps for empires, I'm pretty sure the only content of his I saw was Joey interacting with the Church of the Blood Sheep I think???? But bc of that, this design was so hard 😩 I went with his king skin tho cus I feel it's the most recognizable
I went almost entirely just European, specifically like the royal paintings where they have very wide shoulders. I wanted him to be very square and broad, that he looks strong and immovable.
But, when you look closer, you realize how impractical and bulky he actually is, which hints at how he's egotistical and too prideful for his own good. His only armor/weapons are iron, and everything else is gold, also leaning into that idea.
For the rest of everything, I just leaned into the lore of blood. Every animal except the Blood Sheep can 'give blood', either to the Sheep or to Sausage if he needs a regen. I fought with the idea of sausage not having blood of his own but idk, I kinda want him to just so he can offer to the Blood Sheep
BTW the Blood Sheep constantly pours blood from its soaked wool, it acts like water in the kingdom. And the dogs are a hive mind, connected by blood frfr (I think that's how all blood-related people would be in mythland? Tho maybe it'd also be smthn that requires the Blood Sheep idk)
Since I’ve shown speedpaints in other ones I’ll show his here too fr ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Outsiders based off book descriptions <3
Alright, so I've been having this idea for an AU that wouldn't necessarily affect the events of Dream SMP timeline, but would more of be an interesting background concept! And would maybe add in some more fantasy/supernatural aspects that could happen because of the Divine!
Tubbo - He is absolutely a follower/worshiper of Ianite, who is his matron. He was made by her, after all, given as a gift and a blessing to her Champion, the Caption, who longed to be a father. As Tubbo grew up, he lived in the End with his Caption and would often visit or be visited by Ianite, who was much like a grandmother to him. He was also given her Blessing, like his Father. Eventually, Tubbo left to the Overworld permanently and the story of the Dream SMP begins. During the prime days of L'Manburg, Tubbo got a tattoo, which is a very important part of the practice and worship of Ianite, of her symbol, a scale. It coveres his uperback and is extremely intricate, and he absolutely adores it. When Tubbo, Ranboo, and Michael all permanently move into their new mansion, Tubbo takes a small room in their new home and dedicates it to Ianite and her practice. He had a small alter set up for her in his old cabin, but this one is much grander, and he has much more space to set it up exactly how he sees fit. Ranboo, of course, was already aware of his husbands practice and worship of the Goddess, so he wasn't surprised at all to see that was something Tubbo wanted to do, and encouraged it greatly. Michael though, was not aware of this due to it never being mentioned in front of him or having seen his Bees alter that was snuggly tucked away in the corner of his bedroom closet back in the old cabin. So, when he saw this and Tubbo explained what it was and who it was for, Michael got very ecstatic and very curious. Tubbo now reads books about Ianite, her worship/practice, and the End to Michael, and he absolutely adores it and learning about the Goddess. He'll always ask to be read to about her before going to bed every night. Michael also likes helping Tubbo gather offerings or set up offerings on the alter for Ianite, like flowers or herbs or candles or incense. It's also important to note that Ranboo will often come to Tubbo when he wants to learn or has question about the End, considering the other spent his childhood living in the Realm. Also, if you don't already know, Ianite is an End Goddes, specifically the Goddess of the End and of balance!
Tommy - He has always been a passionate, energetic fellow, and this promptly caught the attention of the Goddess of hope, strength, fame, justice, and warriors, Prime. She sent many sighs to Tommy, showing him she was reaching out, and although it took a good few years for him to figure it out, he eventually did when he was ten. Tommy soon after finding out became a follower/worshiper of her, and she become his patron, even at his young age. Prime would stay with him and observe him to see if he was a good fit to give her Blessing, and she deemed him more than worthy. At fourteen, she gave him her Blessing. During the Greater Dream SMP, before L'Manburg was even a concept, Tommy, along with the help of Wilbur and Tubbo, built Church Prime in her honor and for her worship. He also named the Prime Path in her honor and for her followers. A very big and important part of the practice of following Prime are bells, specifically gold ones. It's said that ringing a bell before prayer or worship will draw her attention towards you. Since Tommy was ten, he always kept his golden bell, that he put on a rope chain, around his neck or in his pocket. He will always ring it before doing something that involves her.
Technoblade - His patron his the Blood God, although I assume that was unsurprising to many. Technoblade has been a follower of them ever since he could remember. The Blood God helped him survive and kept him alive and fighting when Technoblade's family abandoned him. He then became a warrior for them and their practice/worship, leaving the Neather where he was born and living in the Overworld permanently. The reason Technoblade is so attached to the Axe of Peace is because it was a gift from the Blood God when he first enterd the new Realm of the Overworld. He goes on assignments for the Blood God quite a lot, often involving bloodshed of some sort.
That's all I have set in stone for this AU as of right now! I'll probably come back later and make more posts about this AU, because I enjoy it so much! Also, I would recommend you research the difference between a matron and a patron! I would inform you, but that could be a whole post on it's own!
I was influenced to draw these two by @floralfaced !! also to all the frisk fans I have more drawings of them on the backburner I promise

Nobody:
C!Tubbo when he goes through or experiences any sort of trauma: It's building time!
I knew
The Shadow lord's keep...
reimagined the King's castle hope u like it!! :D
He is divinity omniscient
Seeing the world revolve with spite
The surge of humanity oblivious
To the divine whom bringeth light
Let there be night
Secular haze by Ghost
