Seeker of Thrones 4-23
Chapter: 4
“Deep in Sanctum there is said to dwell a kind of monster, a basilisk of sorts. One look at it is said to drive men mad, not because its visage is especially horrifying, but because its flesh is a kind of mirror, and in it a man sees his true and full measure for the first time.”
-Peroxes
Back by unpopular demand: Me
YOU WERE EXPECTING THE OTHER GODS, BUT IT WAS ME, INCUBUS!
do you believe
in gravity ?
Do you believe in gravity? In a young girl’s heart
How the gravity can bind her, whenever it starts
RERO RERO RERO
Yet again, the Lord of the Golden Army shows up unexpectedly. The question, since they are in Throne, is whether this is an illusion, or if Incubus truly does know the Black Art of Division.
It is more than likely the former.
So, what does he want with our Rising King?
There are: The White Art of Division, the Red Art of Transformation, and the Black Art of Creation.
However- having influence over dreams and minds, I expect this is also merely an image of the Demiurge. Though perhaps “merely” is not a wise word to use here.
Dominion Red, Transformation Blue.
Well, his name is Incubus so….
He does represent Lust. So, of course he can appear in people’s bedrooms unannounced. Such is the way of a Black Emperor.
Holy shit is this not a good sign.
Few signs are good.
“REST AREA TWO MILES” is one of them, though.
Not if you’re Robert Frost.
Unless you’re on foot…
“REST AREA 2 MILES CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION” on the other hand, is not.
Neither is “NEXT GAS 251 MILES”
“Two For One Euphoriberry Pies” is another, as is “We Take All Credit Cards Here.”
After the conquest is complete, he will work in the kitchen to grate cheese.
Using those abs, I presume?
On whatever are on those nipples.
Suddenly, a David Bowie.
Though his mortal form perishes, his eternal image lives on in myriad form and infinite power.
Ah, the Lord Incubus is back, and looking fabulous as always.
Incubus’ chest is the greatest of mirrors. Our guild can only strive for such glory.
I arrive at Allison’s dream
Shirt: Off
Nips: Pierced
Machinations: Obscured
I am forcibly escorted from the ship
And I heard, as it were, the sound of vogueing.
Oh hey, it’s that jerk again.
Hail the Red City, hail the Spoke.
And “Suddenly, Incubus” is quite the accurate summation of this event.
‘Suddenly, Incubus’, from my understanding, is actually a somewhat obscure saying within the worlds ruled by the Lord of the Golden Army. It is apparently the beginning of a rather vulgar swear, but I have never heard it in full, as the speakers tend to have their skulls violently crushed by the law-keeper they were antagonizing.
…but then there was Incubus!
Oh, for the want of modern medicine…
One wonders when She realizes that with The Key of Keys, She can, as well, cut wounds…
I love how his halo is the male gender symbol
Most of the time the Mars symbol is used by Jagganoth. This looks more like an arrow, or a combination of the male and female symbols with an extra prong.
And do not underestimate him because of it. Before it was the symbol of Maleness, it was the symbol of Iron and of War.
This symbol is more recent and more specific than that.
This is “Crocus Mars” an academical sign for denoting certain yellow oxides of iron.
While ancient alchemists believed that turning iron yellow must be an important step towards turning base metals into gold, in reality, they were on completely the wrong track.
This man is a deceiver, and the truth of him is in his halo.
He looks like gold, but he is nothing but rust.
Not just that, it is the both the symbol of masculinity and the symbol of femininity at the same time.
“…not because its visage is especially horrifying, but because its flesh is a kind of mirror, and in it a man sees his full and true measure for the first time.”
But do I see all the bread I’ve baked, toasted, and spitroasted?
You see what you look like to all the bread you’ve ever encountered. You monster.
Gravity is for peasants.
Oh, Alice meets the hottest person in Throne. Why can’t I have that?
Be careful what you wish for, you may get us all caught in another vicious circle.
Incubus: “Looks like…
…We’re gonna need a montage!”
My goodness! Did the Lord of Lust always have those nipple rings? They do not fit him at all. I had hoped he’d be the snappiest dresser of the Demiurges, truth be told.
If the Guild of Naysayers still commanded the respect we held before the Second Conquest, one of our number would have doubtless told him so. But these days everyone would rather believe themselves incapable of error than admit fallibility to avoid it in the first place.
And the streets were cleaner back then, too.
The Guild of Naysayers is a terrible idea. Where can I apply?
If more mortals would avail themselves of your services, they’d less oft have need of mine.
*ALAS* ;}
Human nature just doesn’t work that way.
Next time you’re deciding what business to be born into, try to read up on some remedial Behavioral Economics.
He did not, but it did look like his tongue was pierced. I’m thinking he puts them in and takes them out as he sees fit. Yeah, the blaring turquoise stones on what seems to me as a pair of curved bars does nothing for his look and clashes horribly. Curve bars being used in a piercing where a straight bar would be more practical/look so much better. Yuck. Especially since he’s a god and probably have something far more fancy/attractive in its place. But points on him for not going in the direction of rings/over size rings because those things catch on everything and are far easier to grab on to than bars. Even when said bars are curved. So maybe he’s going for what serves as his interpretation of utilitarian function over fashion in the event he ends up having to take off or fend off attackers.
I theorize that they’re the same material as those angel-sealing needles that Delicious used.
More like the snappiest un-dresser, LOL.
god you leave your boyfriend alone for like 10 minutes and all of a sudden he’s strutting around with no shirt on, piercings in his nipples and god knows where AND to make it all worse, his makeup is better than yours
This is Incubus, one of the Seven, not Zaid. He’s not Allison’s boyfriend.
Yet.
When your bf’s so much hotter than you that all seven gods mistake him for the Rising King…
(Why is Incubus so hot though. Like, I know why, but still, holy /shit/. Be still, my gay heart)
Didn’t Abby say on his tumblr that Incubus was gay?
My, but he seems helpful. You have to wonder what his motive is…
When your dreams grow strange, become stranger.
When strange is the norm, the normal are the strange.
*ah, more of these wonderful worlds Abaddon draws*
*yep, pain hurts, little king*
*oh… disturbingly attractive godbeing alert*
A rose by any other name still draws blood?
can they shag at some point please? incubus is WAY hotter than zaid.
Well, she did kinda start this whole mess with the desire/want to get laid.
According to Abaddon, Incubus is gay.
I think Abbadon said somewhere on the KSBD tumblr that Incubus was gay, so probably not.
You’re right, though: He’s purty.
Back to business.
Oh, you again. Big fan of your song “Drive” which you made all by yourself. Now please get back into the wall.
“Yes, we do. Lets start by you putting on a shirt.”
Manly nipple piercings.
MANLY NIPPLE PIERCINGS!
This seems to be rather a fashion on Throne, too, seeing how Yabalchoath’s boyfriend had them as well.
A peculiar sort of paired ley stones designed to channel the use of The Art into increasing the pleasure of certain sensual activities.
WELP. That was unexpected. Wonder what his angle is?
Right angle.
90 degrees, apparently.
Looks to be about 90 degrees
About ninety degrees, I’d say.
At a glance, I’d say 90º XD
“The impression, however produced, was that this creature had reverence to some horizontal, to some whole system of directions, based outside the earth, and that its mere presence imposed that alien system on me…”

Somehow I get the feeling Alison’s going to find out the hard way where all the demiurges stand regarding her and her mission to install the heir upon the throne. 2 are clearly in opposition to it, and this guy is just a(n obnoxious) mystery
Physical needs preoccupy, unfortunately.
Where’s the Joy without suffering, though?
Cobain and Siddartha can wait.
So, what’s he up to this time?
Gaze upon your kingdom, AL-YIS-UN. It is all yours for the taking.
Incubus appears to have sprung a leak.
More meddling mortals mucking multitudes of manipulations
It would seem that there is a veritable queue of mentor figures for our Rising King.
There is a veritable queue of sycophants who think they can avoid death and the consequences of the Second Conquest by endearing themselves to AL-YIS-UN. They hasten their own destruction by teaching her.
Ahem…
Cio: You, sir, should remove your pants.
Stranger: Indeed?
Allison: Indeed, it’s time. We have all laid aside modesty but you.
Stranger: I… wear no pants.
Cio: (Terrified, aside to Allison.) No pants? No pants!
This is some quality parody, brothersister!
…from “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, by Robert W. Chambers.
When we were focussing on Mottom I just wanted more Mottom. When I saw Mammon on the cover of this Chapter I couldn’t wait to see his back story and character. Now Incubus and I don’t want him to leave. Your heroes are great but your villains amazing so rich deep and compelling.
Is it just me, or is Incubus packing a bulge in his pants.
Stupid sexy David Bowie.
Er… now that you point it out.
I’m not sure if this is what the artist is goign for, but I’m getting more of a Depends/Roll-of-socks thing than a David-Bowie-as-Goblin-King.
Lift up your head, wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face clean as the mornin’
I know things were bad but now they’re okay
Suddenly Incubus is standing beside you
You don’t need no makeup, don’t have to pretend
Suddenly Incubus, is here to provide you
Sweet understanding, Incubus’s your friend
Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, mamma was poor
I’d meet a man and I’d follow him blindly
He’d snap his fingers, me, I’d say, “Sure”
Suddenly, Incubus is standing beside me
He don’t give me orders, he don’t condescend
Suddenly, Incubus is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Incubus’s my friend
Tell me this feeling lasts till forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it’s still strange and frightening
For losers like I’ve been it’s so hard to say
Suddenly, Incubus
Suddenly, Incubus
He purified me
He purified you
Suddenly, Incubus
Suddenly, Incubus
Showed me I can
Yes, you can
Learn how to be more
The girl that’s inside me
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Incubus’s my man
I would not care to see my true self.
Although Truth is a name that I could wear, it is one I’ve shied away from.
Regarding Truth, I prefer to be Timid.
Sabreur: “Wonder what his angle is?”
90 degrees or so, I would say.
Beware young heir! For it is always the powerfully beautiful who are the most dangerous in the wheel.
Seven times, seven lines.
Sunset wounds, sidelong attractions.
See yourself as you truly are.
Does Incubus have any music that plays whenever he pops into existence like that? Maybe something in the background, super swanky? Maybe this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLmzOGftlI
I was thinking more something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6lQzmluDdc
Incubi…..in the Middle Ages their existence was recognized by law as an evil spirit believed to have sexual intercourse with women as they sleep. So he’s like Freddy Kruger….Unless he’s one of those dicks that ‘doesn’t do virgins because virgins are no fun/are so damn needy/so damn clingy/too much of a ‘responsibility’/too much of a hassle’ or whatever bullshit slur/derogatory commentary dicks such as those feel the need to spew.
The Lord of light brings the deepest shadows to bear.
His servants are good tippers, though. Usually.
Incubus is Kakashi, he has “Make-Out Paradise” in his pocket!
Yeah I was wondering where Slaneesh have gone.
Off celebrating Slaaneshmas for the past two weeks, spreading holiday cheer and kindness to all the precious little humans and death to all the disgusting xenos. SO THAT THE HUMAN AGONY THAT SLAANESH WILL INEVITABLY TASTE LATER ON IS ALL THE MORE DELICIOUS!!!!
Same place as me.
Always watching.
TBH I’d say Mottom fits better as Slaanesh since she is lliterally dependent on decadent riches and stopping for one second would kill her.
Hopefully, Allison has watched Utena enough times to know where this is going.
never climb
in the car ?
Her being morphed into a sports car, that Cio then rides to freedom?
I can safely say that I have grown very sick of opponents taunting me via some form of dream magick. The rising king, i think, should not have such problems when she can kill with a thought.
Truly, AL-YIS-UN is in need of a fashion consultant. Her time approaches and the runway doth beckon. The stars are almost in alignment, but THAT HAIR, NO.
…And yet we get saucy conspirator with vertically pierced nips.
He is here for the Babe.
Oh, fabulous.
I thought I smelled body glitter.
(Ah, fuckery…) Hi Incubus. what brings you to Alison’s mindscape this particular moment in the falsehood of linearly progressing time.
I do hope that it is not for the purpose of rape, or other such impoliteness. It kind of puts a damper on the glorious sensation of murdering Gods such as yourself.
“Hey, White Chain, a half-naked dude just appeared in my room!”
It seems the rss feed is broken
Annnnd just like that I found out I’m gay.
That bulge suggests goblins. Goblins and spaceships!
Listen not to the painted man. He plays with small children, and has an inky butt.
– Dorn (not really, of course)
Wait, is that quote a reference to Innocence by Dean Koontz? (If it’s not, you should read it)
I believe that the traditional gifts one brings to ailing humans are flowers, possibly baskets of fruit? Not the sight of one’s mostly-bared and piercing-bedecked self?
Either customs have changed, or Incubus is engaging in shenanigans. Again.
Definitely not a face I can trust. Run in fear?
Run in fear.
You see the fear reflex is natural and important for one’s continued survival. Here in Throne, everything can kill you.
So you probably should just run from everything.
