I feature 2 sections here: 1) Discourse on aspects of the genre 2) Lore an imaginary world where the comics will take place.
Breaking down Horror art
When I drew halloween, metal covers, or horror, it was like breaking it down, to see that there was nothing really to be afraid of. The more people seemed to react to it strongly, the more power ‘they gave it’ as a sort of totem pole, to scare away certain squeamish or idealogical people with an aversion to such content. Projecting their fears onto it and the artist. But in person, rarely, if anyone, would confront me the way social media anonymity makes every man-feminist, or psuedo/puritan, autistic-moron, crybaby nerd, into an untouchable keyboard warrior – fuck them. Who cares what a non-artist shit-poster stalking profiles on DA comments/notes them? Gay men, trying to shame straight men for finding women attractive? Vilifying ordinary categories of art/artists: with pejorative terms, as a distraction , while they unrepentantly gratify themselves, using hate spam as a cover to send unsolicited messages to boys every evening; pedophiles in remission, defying the FBI, so long as they keep it to ‘texting’ boys. Would love to ( be in a position to legally) break their fucking hands ( only in self defense, if merited).
In general, the fearful people would seem to ‘over react‘ to the aforementioned content.
Lore
Erydeth – Part II of X
Erydeth: Earthlings under Observation
The council of Avatars, agree to a series of ‘tests’, and the humans are placed on quarantine worlds, overseen by enforcers of the Septendecim: The Immutables.** – where these tests are conducted – many over long periods of time ( decades, centuries)- and observations recorded; at micro and macro level.
(** Out of narcissism, or to be easily identified – or nostalgia – the Immutables, dress in costumes resembling superheroes: The costumes also give them special abilities. )
The Immutables:
The Immutables ( hybrid children of the Mophorge and humans ) are assigned to various tasks, that require ‘intervention’ of a social nature, or physical maintenance ( of a super human kind), and most importantly, to defend the planetoid from assault by nihilist void-aliens from another universe, the Umbreed.
Return to Earth
When a quarantined human is determined to be ‘constructive’, they are returned to earth, pending approval by the Septendecim, and personal vouching for by an Immutable; who is responsible if the human is later a participant in escalating destruction.
SEGUE I.
The Wikkoth:
Since Quarantine worlds aren’t all human based, though similar in design, an eventuality occurred, which the Septendecim have made efforts to resolve: The ‘hacking’ of the corridor system, by the beings called the ‘Wikkoth’. Similar in many respects, to humans, but different enough that a void entity was able to use the Wikkoth, to make a presence in the Mophorge universe, and feed on humans.
