Description
I was working on this last month for a profile picture but it's not exactly what I want for a profile picture so it's just a fun little persona update that is true for the moment. Still playing around with designs and lore stuff. Sorry for the spelling errors in the text on the piece, I'm too lazy to go back and fix them, I'm always typing the letters in the wrong order, and my art program doesn't have spell check.

The words in the background:
Once upon a time there lived a kind, young soul who saved another. Little did the kind soul know, the one they saved was actually a demon who fed on stories. The demon was saved by melding itself with the young one's very essence. The two becoming becoming one. Now this new soul, half demon, grew up plagued by night terrors. Which gave them two things, one a curse, the other a gift. The curse being insomnia and the gift being lucid dreaming. Alas the soul was unable to gain full control over their dream state and would still get nightmares whenever they fell ill. Even more unfortunate was that the soul became mentally and physically ill. At seemingly random moments, the soul would feel fatigued, lethargic, and bruised all over despite never having a single visible mark or sign of a tracible illness. They battled with depression, anxiety, and more.
-
Despite all this hardship, the soul remained mainly kind. They loved stories more than most things in life. No doubt, due to the story-eating demon's influence. The soul became someone who craved to create and consume stories in a vast variety of forms. Music, art, books, word of mouth, games, and more. They desired happiness but understood it's counterpart well. Often drawn to the dark, ominous, strange, and eerie just as much as to the sunny, pastel, cute, and fantastical. A contradiction come to life in far more ways than one. A battle against the self. If you were to ask them how they felt about themself you'd get two answers that would always be together and never alone. "I love myself," and "I hate myself." Both equally true.
