As a birthday present to myself I commissioned a super talented artist (@silkandwater on Twitter or @wholegrainmatzo on Instagram) to draw my apprentice oc with Asra <333
the thing about “meaningless gore” is that even when it’s apparently not intellectual enough for so many people, it forces the viewer to confront the fact that they are just meat, they are mortal, they can and will eventually die, and pain is part of the human experience that unfortunately none of us will escape experiencing at one point or another. life is both horrifyingly fragile and surprisingly resilient which makes existing in a body a fraught experience regardless of whether we want to acknowledge that or not. “to watch a horror movie is to know that something bad is going to happen. to have a body is really the same thing.” anyway that in and of itself is plenty to grapple with and if a film decides to only deal with that, i don’t think it’s less valuable than any other theme a film might address

Asra's most powerful magical power is perhaps his ability to fall asleep anywhere, so here are some very early sketches from the original creators of Asra falling asleep!
