May I present: Leda and the Swan Princess! It's based on this post about a swan princess who refuses to go quietly in obscurity when cursed. (If you liked this one you will probably also like my other comics which you can find on my pinned post).
If you enjoyed and want to support a queer art student, you can tip me over on my Ko-fi! Tips help me out dramatically while I'm still in school!
who has swan like appearances they're beautiful, one of the most beautiful creations out of heaven.
they like to sit by the lake and play with the ducks in the garden, they can even transform into a swan by choice. Lucifer develops a little crush on them while in heaven they do as well. When Lucifer seems them dance they're graceful like a swan
they somehow end up falling into hell, and their soul ends up in the hands of a demon [maybe alastor or an oc demon] they've tried to escape multpie times leading to whenever their owner doesn't need them they'll stay in the form of swan
whenever they the rare small moments to themselves in their normal form, they dance sadly tears in their eyes to then later to only be ruined by the chain appearing around their neck
honestly if it was alaztor he would keep them captive in his room, in their swan form. Using his gators to scare and taunt them.
threatening to feed them to his gators /broadcast their screams as well.
Should I write this
I can imagine their reunion with Lucifer being bittersweet Alastor appearing behind them.
[this is somewhat inspired by this story by sea-bunii where Lucifer saved the reader by breaking their contract with alastor]
(Spent far too long going through the Feyd xPaul tag on AO3, so here’s a very silly set of “Arranged Marriage is still on/Meet as Kids AU ala Swan Princess” doodles for whoever will enjoy them 😅)
"Then she spread her wings, to soar
O’er the waves towards the shore.
There, amid a clump of trees,
Folded them with graceful ease,
Shook herself, and then and there
Turned into a maiden fair —
In her braids, a crescent beamed,
On her brow, a bright star gleamed;
She was sweet in form and face,
Full of majesty and grace.
When she spoke, her sweet voice seemed
Like the flow of tinkling streams."
(A.S. Pushkin "The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son, the Glorious and Mighty Knight Prince Guidon Saltonovich, and of the Fair Swan-Princess")
Inspired by @belovedcreation's "When the Mornings Star Rises" - because it's a great Captain Swan story and I was really in the mood to draw Emma as a swan princess 🦢
And then, because I wanted to present these two pictures with a nice, fitting transition and because procrastination is a hell of a drug, I spent the past two days working on making this into the following animation:
