This is the truth of the seventh threshing: I am the sundered Law, forbidden and denied by the obedient. I sit in the palace of Heaven and walk the paths of Hell. No door is locked to me; though none hear me, I whisper, and in my echoes the firmament trembles. #SaltTale #SaltOCs
A mystery: you spend your day walking, talking, playing at masks with the truth curled in the spaces between organ and spine. Some mirrored experience, a sight or sound, and its tendrils unfurl, tickle your throat. What is the sound that breaks the silence? What heat floods at its coming?
#SaltTale
Sinuous wood offering the wispy air of dream to sharpened edges. You follow its curls; will you ever reach a terminus? The thing at its center moves. Legs twitch, yours or its? Scurry scurry, in dream it sits and it waits... #SaltTale
It seems like a new suit will be added to tonight's readings! *13 cards fly out of the deck and hover above the audience, each one highlighting a different part of your body*
Some of you may be walking out a bit boarish, but we wouldn't want our generous friend to be lost in the shuffle! #SaltTale
Brain contemplating character class tf but make it weird and body horror-y for the season. Wizards as puppets of arcane spirits. Barbarian skin splitting leaving exposed muscle, relentless and ragebound. Mouths splitting around a bard's throat, like beads in a necklace. #SaltTale
"The cruelty of angels is that they tempt as much as any demon, but condition their rewards on the immeasurable goodness of a heart." #SaltTale
The 4th station governs liminality, the crossroads and backrooms, the transition between realms.
Also, orders of demonic mystics deserve a better name than "orders." Maybe "threshings." #SaltTale
"I have touched fire from the heavens and bent it to my will. You offer nothing that my apprentice cannot discern as the vapid workings of an upstart oil slick with the heart of a torpid gargoyle."
A wing dips; a drip of petrol drops to the imp's face. It rolls languorously to his lips... #SaltTale
When you try the Ritual of Overflowing Might before learning control, things get out of hand FAST #SaltTale #SaltOCs
Huge thanks to @barashbenski.bsky.social for some demon daddification!
I appreciate my demon posting makes zero sense without context but I just think that after a while Calder would show their imp apprentice one of their occasional pastimes: remote haunting parties via whispers and mirrors. Seeding chaos and stories with warped truths. #SaltTale
I imagine Nait has a fondness for rats and minotaurs, and turning cities into mazes.
In its way, it is a demon of revels, similar to Dionysus being also a god of madness. #SaltTale
Trolfang's main puppet to their nose (or somewhere lewder). And then the next day they meet up for brunch and talk about what a great party it was. #SaltTale
Collecting the Pride Demons in a thread together.
And also putting into the world that it might be fun to hit 13 of them, if 6 of you have a demon's name inscribed on your soul and you wish to share. #SaltTale
Pride demon 6-and-1, Sir Blood Pelt manifests from the mind of @elementalaer.bsky.social. He is a demonic thoughtform, currently spread through the image of a wolf in a cape. Once infected, you become one of his energetic pups, fond of tricks and trouble. #SaltTale
Like you are not getting to the end of Pride without re-drawing your body as your dream cocky wolf-self and tagging your Patron's cute chibi face on a wall somewhere to help grow the pack, ya know? #SaltTale
The sixth Pride demon, Naitsirch is called to hunt by @sylenspotions.bsky.social. Once called, you are marked, and a shadow of its presence is always near. It feasts on humiliation, surprise, and the joy of toying with the bodies and minds of its prey. #SaltTale
Pride Demon #5: @barashbenski.bsky.social opened the door to the realm of Crucible Von Phthalo, copper sentinel, record-keeper of desire, grown so large after millennia he requires a pocket reality of his own. His body is a temple to itself. Spill your desire within it to be blessed fully. #SaltTale
Pride Demon #3: Mr. Thotdog is the Pride patron of @notjimmy.bsky.social. A hulking six-armed Cerberus, Mr. Thotdog can take you down the path to your truest self in an instant, but somehow that path always leads to wanting to be a submissive and obedient good boy. #SaltTale
Pride Demon #2: Trolfang Grizzleflive is an exuberant entertainer with a home in his new puppet @rexs1gma.bsky.social. The life of a party, he craves attention and chases it without inhibition. He will imbue a willing host with his essence, making them larger... and larger... and larger... #SaltTale
The first Pride Demon: Brutus Snazzleflorg, summoned by @malleablewitch.bsky.social, will possess a man and stretch him like taffy for a comfortable fit. Left long enough, his influence will spread. Throws great parties and guarantees no body leaves with the build they arrived with. #SaltTale
"Step into the flame, darling. Burn and be reborn." #SaltTale
Lower, ever lower, feeling the string at the center of your spiraling self. Every thrumming command, every tug at your puppet strings, touching, resonating, making you so hungry and glad to be a puppet. #SaltTale
Smoke drifts from flaring nostrils, wreathing the nub of a horn breaking your temple. The needs of a dragon and abundant lusts of a boar stain your mind forever as I finally look away. The heat of power rushing through my body leaves much to consider... #SaltTale
And reaching up your sides to your pits.
What was a curse of abundance has instead left you half-grown. Your human half feels numb against the tantalizing heights of pleasure your new body promises but can never quite reach. #SaltTale
