Yes, Death is still alive and kicking, and I am as well! 💀
I know this is rather unexpected, especially after the lack of any updates this last year, but I'm back and I owe you all an apology.
Life kicked me in the butt while mocking me that I should still be grateful to live another day. Shit happened and I'm not proud of how I acted. I took a step back from the Abyssal to heal, but I neglected my lovely readers while doing so. I'm not one to openly mope, but I received a lot of concerned asks and I thank every single one of you for still caring about my sorry behind 😊
Now, let's focus on the good part of this whole mess. I've got some news!!
Firstly, The Abyssal went through a considerable rewrite, nothing major but a few passages were added and other pieces were slightly changed. You guys will notice the difference, I hope.

Two interludes were added.

Second part of Chapter 2 is focused on world-building, lore, and Éoin's life as a mortician.
Secondly, a list of small things that I added:
Around 15k words were added to chapter one and 12k to chapter two. The demo now has a total of 100k words;
Now the choices that will unlock the madness and fury domain are labeled.
Added time and location to each memory jump to better situate the reader.

“Sometimes, sometimes he dreams of mother. As she was before—back when everything made sense.”—Deirdre, He/Them
“If nothing else, Lorelai has her mother’s jewels. They’re a cold comfort, but they’re all she has left.”—Lorelai, She/Her
“He enjoys the disgust—fear—the twins wear when they catch sight of him. They thought they rid themselves of mother, but she’s still here—his very existence proof; his very nature a reflection of hers.”—Ahriman, He/Him

Words Unspoken (Part 1)
Pairing(s): Edasis (OC) X Sol
Synopsis: Edasis had loved Sol since the beginning of his very creation. Though his love had persisted through all sorts of hardships, it seemed as though this was the last straw.
Warning(s): Angst, not very quality writing, based on my headcanons, told from 1st person (Edasis) POV
Original work by: @theabyssal
Next Part
In the beginning, everything was dark; it was utterly dreadful in the abyss. I don’t know how I survived, but at the end of it all was the brightest light I’ve ever seen.
It made me feel as if all my efforts were worth it.
And you were there to greet me the moment I scrambled out of the absolute darkness of the abyss, standing in all your glory.
It was love at first sight.
Everything from your bright smile. Your unconditional love for your creations. Everything about you was just so admirable to me.
I couldn't help but fall in love with you.
But you didn't love me.
It was expected. How could anyone ever love someone like me?
Even so, when I had laid down all my expectations, the pain of my love was unavoidable.
No matter how many times I’ve come faced with reality, my heart couldn’t stop.
Even as I lay here, in the darkness that I so feared, as a mere shell of who I used to be, my heart can only yearn to see your face again.
Even with each hateful word you'd say, every enraged glare you'd send...Even as you detained me, stabbed me with rods and stripped me of my power and title, even when you declared me a monster to the entirety of the world, even when I could feel my heart break, my love for you would not end.
It was as if I was born solely to love you; my love for you wouldn't falter even as you crushed my heart to nothing but fragments of what it used to be.
Why was it that even when you only burdened me with more scars...Why could I not hate you?
Perhaps it was because I knew you too well, and you knew me too little.
After all, how could I possibly hate you, who so dearly cares for your loved ones? How could I possibly hate you, when all you do is for the best of your creations?
Perhaps, all the sin was on me in the first place.
How could I, one so evil and hideous, dare to covet such a wonderful, divine being?
Even your hatred is too good for me.
You may hate me for eternity, you may hurt me for eons, but my heart will forever lie with you.
So please...I beg of you.
Please don't forget me.

◈ 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 has a hauntingly 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘤 voice 🎶
◈ They're an introverted person (being in the sole company of their 𝑊𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑠 is often when they're most comfortable), but they did have a few friends among the pantheon (not including their brother) & one or two choice mortals
◈ 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 wears a veil (+ a mask when in mortal form) because direct eye contact makes them immensely uncomfortable (though they will endure meeting the eyes with dying souls; they've found it comforts them as they're reaped)
◈ They're 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘢𝘤, & while outgoing contact isn't as severe as incoming contact it still pains them to a degree (which shows how dedicated they were to their “job” since they must kiss the souls they reaped), this was, of course, only exacerbated after their torturous imprisonment (now the only beings they can stand to touch are 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 & 𝑻𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍)
◈ 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 is noticeably taller than 𝑺𝒐𝒍, much to the queen's chagrin (I'm sure 𝑺𝒐𝒍 will still be bothered by this even when they're officially “together” ... old habits die hard after all)
◈ While in deity form, 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆'𝒔 cheeks are permanently stained with dark tears; shed for the dead they reap & the living left to mourn (pre-imprisonment: only the dead & their siblings were aware of this) 🥲
◈ Their hair is significantly shorter while in their mortal form (since hair that pools onto the ground around them is simply not practical), now it only goes down to their hips
◈ Post-imprisonment their deity form is marred by the brutal scars left behind by the 𝑈𝑟𝑢́𝑑𝑢𝑚 chains & cursed rods ... besides the “new” ones, they also have many others marking their divine body (from their time in the abyssal wars)
◈ 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆'𝒔 skin on their hands/feet gradually turns 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 towards their finger/toe tips, a physical manifestation of their constant contact with the abyss
◈ 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆'𝒔 harboured an unfortunate crush on 𝑺𝒐𝒍 for countless centuries by the time of their “imprisonment” (& somehow, even in the face of 𝑺𝒐𝒍'𝒔 neverending scorn + literally being chained & tortured by her, 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 can't seem to stop themselves from craving a vastly different relationship between them ... in another world, 𝟷 devoid of all the anger & disdain she seems holds towards their very existence, maybe they could've been loved in return) 🥲💔
◈ They truly embody “Do no harm, but take no shit” at their core ... until someone attempts to harm anyone they care about
◈ 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 wholeheartedly LOVES their abyssal siblings (even though 𝑵𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂 makes it almost impossible at times) & would do anything to protect them (too bad their sentiment wasn't reciprocated when it really mattered)
◈ They're VERY involved with their duties; always making sure that souls pass on quick & painlessly (often refusing to take breaks unless they HAVE to-> i.e. “summons” from 𝑺𝒐𝒍/other godly duties/their brother MAKES them)
◈ Because of their traumatic experiences during the abyssal wars, 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 is enraged every time they reap a young soul lost in the wake of yet another one of the 𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑠' pointless conflicts 😠 (& for their total disregard of mortal lives, the 𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑠 are among the few gods that 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 absolutely DESPISES)
◈ Solely took on the job of reaping infants & children; they wanted to absolutely make sure young souls moved on surrounded by compassion & comfort (often soothing them via singing lullabies to them, stroking their hair/faces ... etc); it breaks their cold heart every single time (it is because of this heartache that 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 decided to adopt 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐, they didn't want to see another child suffer)
◈ One of 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆'𝒔 favourite thing about mortals is the complexity of each culture's funeral rites, the different ways that mortals honour & care for their dead have always fascinated them 🥀🪦
◈ Even though their imprisonment left them as a horribly twisted version of their former self, 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒆 is determined to still treat those around them with kindness (however, anyone who seeks to harm THEM or ANYONE they care about will be dealt with harshly & without any forgiveness or mercy)
◈ ...
While in their avatar state, they appear as [...]

A Missing Piece 1/?
Hi!! This is the part one of 2...or 3 I don't know. This relates to Mermaid Au and the Finding pieces Au. One of the Shards landed on the Abyss, And Abyss Yellow is here to return it, but she ended up here instead of the other Au.
Also, It might take me a bit longer than expected to post, because quality requires time. So maybe I don't post anything in 2 days or so, so I can do the comic.
Both Shark Yellow and the Find pieces Au belongs to @lucyjung . She gave me permission to let Abyss find the shard

New Made in Abyss artwork is now available!
I was finally able to get caught up with the manga and anime. So I decided to spend some time redoing the art I had made for it in the past. I am still so captivated with the world and the concept of the different layers and mysteries of the abyss.

It's here!! The public update is now live and you can find the link down below! 🖤🖤
But first you can read some of the changes I made for this update:
Sol is now gender selectable! Now only Wulfric is gender-locked, while the rest of the ROs are all gender-selectable;
Friend!crush Sol (friends to lovers) and Enemy!crush Sol (enemies to lovers). Romancing choices are marked with a 🖤;
Rescue—adopt?—a little kid;
Two interludes were added.
Choose to wear a mask or a veil, and pick between many designs of masks for your Death to wear;
Second part of Chapter 2 is focused on world-building, lore, and Éoin's life as a mortician.
Secondly, a list of small things that I added:
Around 15k words were added to chapter one and 12k to chapter two. The demo now has a total of 100k words;
Now the choices that will unlock the madness and fury domain are labeled.
Added time and location to each memory jump to better situate the reader.
Make sure to check the show stats option! I'll be adding details about the characters and the world of Hylaria there with every update.
Much more.

The Abyssal, Morana, before and after imprisonment.
[click the image for better resolution]
I used this opportunity to also tweak Morana’s original look (the before) a bit—in regards to her veil and ‘crown’. The original had my attempt at a liquid gold, floating ‘crown’, but decided a shadow one would suit her better. Because, you know…😅😅😅
So, before she used to freely show off skin—but after imprisonment she wanted to cover-up because of her horrible scars from the chains, but left her chest open to display both the scar on her chest (as a metaphor for her wounded heart) and the missing sunstone she used to wear religiously.
Her hair grew ridiculously long, and she hardly takes care of it now (often just leaving it down to drag across the ground), but don’t worry—I’m sure a certain red-head will attempt to fix that 😉
She still loves Sol, but is too angry and bitter to fully acknowledge it; and now she makes a point to try and avoid sunlight as much as possible, often traveling in the shadows or at night with the moon and starts covered by clouds.
She has 3 kids with Sol, who’re in the process of being created:
Deirdre: God of Funeral Rites and Melancholic Thoughts
Lorelei: Goddess of Decay and Sentimental Feelings
Ahriman: God of Fallen Warriors and Disaster
I wanted them to have some blended forms of both Life and Death in their Titles/powers.
D: has more emphasis on death and the feelings that usually come after the passing of a loved one.
L: associated with fungi and the process in decay, helping new life to come afterwards—along with the feeling of thoughts/objects/people that bring good (or bittersweet) thoughts/memories from the past (to either sooth or not).
A: the twins hate him—because he follows them from battlefield to battlefield, reminding them of his mother. Associated with those who died in battle, and the disaster that often follows War and bloody battles; he represents the Grim reminder of the cost of war, of what was sacrificed to achieve victory.

An animation about my MC, Edasis, from @theabyssal.
Not really proud of it, and it’s probably very inaccurate, but I just wanted to share.
(Original memes are on YouTube if you’re curious.)
More pictures under the cut.
#realized Sol’s hair wasn’t as curly as it probably should be#burned my soul for two weeks to make this look pretty#and it still doesn’t look the way I want it to#it’s off beat#and it’s killing me#my Mac doesn’t look as creepy as I intended#ahhhh#angst#theabyssal#I’m dying#help#Sol#Edasis#DeathMC#first post

Mind Vision
Before light existed, darkness was our origin, we describe the absence of light as the potential for anything imaginable, it conceals incalculable depth, its a primordial plane where anything can be projected onto. Being a canvas for the imagination and a silhouette for the emergence of consciousness,
It is our journey through the darkness, where we linger, lost and confused, without the dark we can never find the true light, without the light we can never have direction through the dark. The darkest parts of our universe set the stage for the light of trillions of stars.
Each star is, In allegorical fashion; individuated and distinguished against the backdrop of space, a producer of light, in open rebellion against the darkness around it. it is the one who cannot be devoid of all colour, our divinity that shines separate, and projects itself outwardly. This infection of pure consciousness is anchored by our inevitable return back to nothing.
You need not look at the source of darkness or light, for both will make you blind, rather focus on what it reveals to you, and be fortunate to be the observer of this gift. We living beings naturally fear the unknown, and as long as theres a light to follow in the darkness, we’ll naturally illuminate the path for others.

Staring Into It
So I must have eaten some bad food,
and it mixed poorly with the beer, or
the ice cream later on, but either way,
I woke up in the armpit of the night
with a headache that felt like a bullet
had been shot into the base of my skull
and could not be dug out, and then my
stomach started doing slow somersaults
like a washing machine full of cabbage
and gasoline, and I went back and forth
to the bathroom at least a dozen times,
purging my body from both ends until
it felt as if my intestines were being
torn out through my throat, and there
was a point that it was so bad that I
thought, if this were to never end, if
this were every hour of the rest of my
life, I would have no problem ending it.
But of course it wasn’t, so I didn’t,
and eventually I passed out and slept
through the next afternoon, and I got up
and had some food and got on with it
because one day I won’t be able to,
the same reason we tell kids to play
sports while they can, and go run and
jump and act silly, because one day
they won’t be able to, but naturally
we always leave that last part out.
