Caligari’s little songbird

these characters are so big it always take me multiple yellow paper to draw them I introduce you to my gwi-ma and caligari fusion: an immortal giant fueled by the corpses that enter his domain and now has the added benefit of dying twice as hard

I gotten the idea from poobletoods with their art of caligari and ldg of them being beauty and the beast. I got enough courage to draw it myself but I came to the problem where it no longer beauty and the beast because they’re both that (beautiful and beastly) so I made them dance in a ballroom, spreading spores to a bunch of Frenchmen in the 18th century who tried to get rid of the shrooms outgrowing their plants. I like to think it was in Caligari’s glory day where he can or was motivated to move around to collect precious things on his own. Right now they’re just twirling while sucking the life around everyone. Tale as old as time. Bonus: My first doodle of caligari and Cesare doing that pose from the credits with a squirrel tail

TADC SPOILERS I was trying to figure out how this looked familiar and AHAAAAAAAAAA when ur undying overlord (inspired by a literary reference) had a bunch of arms and a top hat and gloves and then he does actually die I love indie animation I love these shows

the greatest caligari to ever do it actually lowkey needs to talk about caligari rq. i think a lot about caligari being niceys. when new watchers first start out, still adjusting to their bodies losing function, still dealing with shallow breaths and weak heartbeats, caligari is actually… a little sweet on them. they’re still not fully adjusted to not eating and sleeping- poor things are so queasy, tired, and disoriented. caligari pulls them into his layer, pets their heads, caresses their little bodies. they’re always so cold. caligari can warm them up. it suddenly rises a few degrees in his layer and his hands feel so warm. he cups his precious little watchers in his large palms, letting them soak up the warmth as they doze off. slowly but surely, caligari weans them off of this behavior. it establishes a connection between them, and as it fades into the back of their minds, occasionally reawakened by scraps of praise, it helps keep them tethered to caligari as their master. OK. uhm. suggestive below the cut. Sorry. “he cups his precious little watchers in his large palms, letting them soak up the warmth as they doze off.” yeah forget that last part. he cups his precious little watchers in his large palms and cradles them close, running his large fingers up and down their frail bodies. i think… caligari likes to tease! he gets a certain pleasure from watching his little spiders squirm and writhe and gasp in his palm, arching up into his fingers yet turning their heads away. having his watchers be sort of needy and expecting pleasure and praise helps motivate them and keep their spirits in tact a little longer….

Spiders Caligeorg

the first freak cesare was sent to get was probably Pinocchio. fuck you Geppetto

honestly I feel kinda bad for Pinnochio catching strays LOL but also I have a hard time imagining Geppetto being a good father so maybe getting kidnapped was ideal for him? Like I could see this version of Geppetto being more like Victor Frankenstein where he creates a new life and immediately regrets it bc he’s too normiepilled to appreciate that miracle so he either locks him away or abandons him in the woods (or I guess whatever equivalent there is in Venice). Maybe Pinocchio tries to reach out to the rest of humanity only to be met with the Venetian locals treating him like an abomination to be run out of town or hunted. Maybe this is when Caligari adopts his attitude of “by taking these little doves I’m keeping them safe from the world that rejects me them” while he tells his new spider to go grab the “menace” because to him that’s the only way humans are capable of perceiving anything different. If only Caligari learned to treat both his doves and his spiders better… Either way, I guarantee this is the first thing post-s3 Cesare does when his employees treat him to a long overdue trip to Venezia

Btb requests? What if Cesare and Doe both undid their stitching and are sitting there having to get it redone by Cagliari

Db Copper: he’s got something cooking, and i don’t wanna be here when it goes off Also Db cooper (& co):

So not long after I made Nessy I made a little horrors au with her where she became a vessel for caligari (not a watcher what LDG is). It’s called the Otherside au because this version is Named Otherside, after the red hot chili peppers song that’s music video is supposedly based on The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. Anyway making her and Doe friends in the context of this au has horrible implications :) and I love horrible implications :D I’ll finish this at some point probably maybe Until then take the old stuff I made of this au because I adore this design. Basically Nessy gets in an accident (car crash probably but girl gets brain damage) and ends up in a coma, caligari finds her body and is like ‘mmm new secretary’ and doll customizes Nessy to fit the vibes. She keeps the pink highlights because you can only do so much about hair dye. It’s lovely angst with the bigtops cus friends <\3 Half of my ideas with characters are angsty, whether mine or others, something something cartharsis something something therapy.

Cesare vs Caligari really was atomic bomb vs coughing baby if the coughing baby won instantly. Who would win, the ancient alien fungus with the power over life and death or one (1) Italian twink with a hammer

@highladderbed asked for me to give my interpretation of is Caligari and Gwi-Ma fused so. Here. Got them bisexual colors. <3 Se Gwi-Ma is just a face, and Caligari has no face, so if you combine them they’re one guy! They complete each other <3

Bro thought it would be easy to just ask

Chosen - Chapter 1 - Kasimere - BIGTOP BURGER (Web Series) [Archive of Our Own]

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE! HERE’S SOME HORROR!

Warning: possible body horror? Look it’s mycelia growing over a corpse last of us style, if that freaks you out don’t look. ‘We will thrive here, my scarab.’ I went down a rabbit hole of mushroom reproduction and taxonomy. So this is just my concept of how LDG was made. Why is the mushroom rose like? Because it looks cool and I can do whatever I want. Anyway, the fact LDG is primarily white compared to Caligari being primarily black imply a different genetic information, which means she was produced sexually and not asexually. So my thought is Caligari had a zygote attached to his mycelium whenever he ended up on earth, and that zygote (with the help of a dead human body because.. mushroom gotta eat and grow on something) grew to become LDG, and he wants them to thrive on this new planet. Is she his daughter? Ehhhh not really because that’s a very human concept and they’re alien mushrooms but they are a part of the same mycelial network so they can communicate. This also just adds to my want for her to develop a life independent of Caligari. The body died from being mauled by wolves because song influence, I don’t really have a better reason for that. Mushrooms are neat, and taxonomy is hard.
