Decay Exists As An Extant Form Of Life - Tumblr Posts

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

Fungi: "You cannot kill me in a way that matters."

Root rot! Primary killer of all my houseplants. It’s caused by overwatering and fungi growth (everything always comes back to fungi)

I wanted to draw something for @feefal 's #funguary challenge but I didn't have a lot of good fungal ideas, I've also been wanting to draw some of my OCs but most of them are in the "cloudy, vaguely formed thought" stage and I don't have much of a theme or costume or even basic color palette for most of them. So thinking about these two issues I remembered that decay exists as an extant form of life and suddenly my grim reaper designs have a lot more flavor to them.

This is Lorelei, the peaceful death. She's the one that comes for you if you're at peace with the fact of your inminent demise and uses her torch to guide souls into the afterlife. I wanted to give her a young look and a dress that would be about as appropriate in a funeral as in a celebration. Her raven is called Edgar and he's also a guide for spirits.

She has some bleeding teeth (fungus) on her hat because those fungus are actually beneficial for their hosts and has dead man's fingers (fungus) on her torch because those fungus grow from wood. She also has dead man's fingers (not fungus) because she's dead. . . Kind of.
