Oc deities and primordial beings

I don't talk about my other stuff like, actual original stories I have I usually use this account to tell about Lmk stiff since I'm hype on the train because I have a deep affection for Journey to the West. But anyhow. I actually want to talk about this if you guys don't mind. I love rambling.

The first one is call Duna he is everything and he is nothing. He is the primordial universe, a storyteller who gets bored if nothing interesting happens so they create variety of ancient deities that tell stories. But ancient deities is more of a metaphor for artists, creators, musicians, poets all that fun and artistic stuff.

Duna created Paeonia, a creator deity that loves nothing more than to make life itself. It considered the youngest deities out of all, until Duna gets bored again. Paeonia created Pandemonium a strange blob that has a nasty case of taking people faces and being a little shit. Basically a cat. It not a god it a entity, a being that is basically thoughts and chaos which is not a good combination. It an entity of unforseen knowledge someone who knows the secrets of everything while also hoarding them.

Paeonia and Pandemonium are basically friends though even after the face stealing bit. Then there Nox the entity of the skies, darkness and threads, it basically a entity that can mess your life up with just one pull of it cloak. It was supposed to be a ruler of the sun and moon with the stars as well but Pandemonium likes to do a bit of shuffling things around and makes them to control the destiny of anything living aside from themselves. It also because Pandemonium took Nox face and crafted a robe to cover the naked skies and apologized later on. So they are in neutral terms.

Pandemonium and Nox are mostly talk about because they are not the ones hiding themselves from the public eye, that Paeonia. Paeonia created humanity, gods and living beings, they are the pinicle of creations. They keep to themselves and avoid being spotted and written on by normal beings, unless your a entity, god or a child of a god you will know of Paeonia existence. But other than that Paeonia has a way of hiding itself and just creates and creates, not wishing to be acknowledge by even the human eye.

I got more of these types of characters, like always OSP always inspires me. They have great content and very educational and they say I don't know anything heh.. we'll see about that. Oh and one more thing is last year stuff so you can see it old stuff. I want to put more oc from my stories here but maybe in another time.

When the Silent Goddess asks to borrow your body for a while, it’s a good idea to let her.

Tried making a void nun version of Pae after the Call of the Void commission from @thetenen turned out so well.

In my friend’s beautiful garden a traditional double red Paeonia lactiflora cultivar was flowering. These are long lived plants and grow best in a fertile soil that is moist but well-drained in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade. They are often found in old cottage gardens.
