Have u talked abt your ocs from the tag anywhere? Or the setting

so technically there are two angelverses - an rp server me and some friends made, where we combined two seperate independent original fiction settings we both called 'angelverse' - this angelverse is set in a world where two different universes were combined together by a cosmic collision event, which has massively destabilized society and made the existence of angels and demons known to the majority of the world and not just paranormal research institutions (both government-funded and independent), angel-worshipping cultists, and the unlucky few who just got caught up in it all, and created a lot of tension and conflict as a result.

however, both angelverses used to create this setting also exist as their own independent concepts, and mine is set in a universe where angels are a type of militaristic eldritch machine-aliens who use earth as a dumping ground for their greatest failures; the exiled Fallen and the "Reassigned"; angels who aren't problematic enough to be officially banished from the Republic of Angels but who have been removed from their original roles and placed on earth to get them out of the way as they're considered incapable of contributing anything worthwhile to the Republic.

here is a character building guide i made which explains the different species that exist in my angelverse and expands a little on the worldbuilding

naming conventions and an explanation of the concept of domains

an explanation of angelic contamination (CONTENT WARNINGS: discussions of terminal illness, suicide/assisted suicide, body and medical horror)

vessel entrapment (CONTENT WARNINGS: discussions of terminal illness-like fantasy condition, capital punishment, body horror)

a powers and limitations guideline i made for RP purposes, just for fun (kind of outdated but whatever)

this is out of left field but a book rec list!! specifically, books that have to deal with consumption of women/cannibalism/ecofeminist themes (basically, feminist, food-centric horror)

1. The Vegetarian by Han Kang

This book is SO good but definitely check the trigger warnings. Told from three different perspectives, it follows a woman after she has a life-altering dream that makes her go vegetarian, much to the dismay of her family. The thing that stuck with me most about this book is how it portrays the normalized but profound betrayals by men that women experience. It’s a mix of “The Yellow Wallpaper” and My Year of Meats

2. My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki

Another meat-centric book! This one switches between two women, one in America and one in Japan, as they navigate the world of meat consumption and how patriarchy and misogyny are reflected in it. There’s a very mixed-media feel to this as every section starts with a poetry excerpt by Sei Shonogan and one of the main characters, Jane Takagi-Little, is directing a series on American meat consumption to promote eating meat in Japan. All of Ruth Ozeki’s books are wonderful so if you like this, you should read them all.

3. Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterriva

This one is straight up cannibalism. It’s about a man, Marcos, who works at a meat processing plant that makes “special meat” (human) and is gifted a “specimen” for him to eventually slaughter himself. The specimen is a woman, Jasmine, who Marcos eventually forms a relationship with. This one is overtly dystopian and although certainly very dark, a little more palatable because it allows the reader to feel more distant from the reality of the book. Of course, though, there is till some very striking commentary on the abuse and exploitation of animals, women, and people as a whole.

4. What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

This one is different from the others in that the consumption comes from fungus and not literal people, but there’s still a deep-seated sense of rot. The main character, Alex Easton, returns to the ancestral home of their childhood friend as they learn she’s dying. There is a distinct supernatural element to this, but still very heavy with animal and body horror.

5. A Certain Hunger by Chelsea Summers

Dorothy Daniels, the main characters, is a food critic, sex lover, and psychopath. This one, again, explores the relationship between the treatment of women as sexual beings and commercialized consumption. Also, again, cannibalism. However, this one is very White Feminism, so take that into mind.

all of these books are very good but all have very heavy trigger warnings, so please please look them up before reading. happy reading, my pals <3

The Orphan, c.1885 - oil on canvas. — August Friedrich Schenck (German/French, 1828-1901)

Although the Gohan in highschool arc was kind of annoying since it wasn’t narratively important in the Buu saga, the concept of the Z kids going to school is actually pretty hilarious.

Sure, Goten and Marron probably hear weird urban legends about their fathers from time to time, but Trunks…

I think an underrated horror trope is “insular christian cult worshipping something that slowly reveals itself to be Very Much Not God”.  I think it speaks something to the bastardized nature of american christian sects like southern baptist and others. I think in a lot of ways the way colonialism pairs with christianity in the americas really makes it demonic in ways that horror makes powerful statements about.
