Gargoyles - Tumblr Posts
Redrew a gargoyles frame!
I keep vanishing into the backrooms I’m so sorry but I just forget to post shit lmfao. Gargoyles brings me massive serotonin and I’ve seemed to attract gargoyles tumblr to my Brooklyn post so :)
Original still:
They are living in my head rent-free now, oops.

This looks awesome!
Sewer people need sewer friends! This is how I figure they would meet. First on the agenda for neighborhood council meeting: Policies on how to get your uber eats orders from the manhole cover.
what is your lore behind your gargoyles & litches?
Thanks for the ask Wyked! I love species creation (I blame dnd) and generally make lore by treating existing lore as 'stories humans made up' and working backwards from there.
Here's my lore so far! 👇
Gargoyles
Description: Hard skin and hard heads. This long-lived species moves through life at their own pace, and often are considered aloof or un-emotive. They live about 1000 years and age slowly. Appearance: A wide range of stone colored skin tones. Bat-like wings, claws, and sharp lower canines. They barely bleed when you cut them, but the blood is red. Abilities: Enhanced strength and sight. Stone Skin: Bonus to physical defenses. Density Control: Able to control their own density/weight at will. This is how gargoyles are able to fly. Statuesque: Gargoyles are able to stop all motion and signs of life within themselves for extended periods of time, and be perfectly comfortable while doing so. They are able to sleep standing up with their eyes open if they wish. This state is difficult to get out of and will result in a period of sluggishness lasting half the time that they were using their Statuesque ability. (ex. Using Statuesque for 4hrs will cause 2hrs of sluggishness.) Weaknesses: They are slow to resist magic and abilities involving emotional manipulation. Sunlight Adverse: Sunlight can negatively affect their density control abilities, making them extremely heavy and slow-moving, even to the point of being unable to move at all.
Litches
Description: A generally nocturnal species that evolved from a lost and powerful race many many millennia ago. They live for about 125 years. They are genetically related to witches and bleed red. Appearance: They resemble humans, at first, but many have runic shapes adorning their skin like tattoos. The more they have, the lighter their eyes become and the more vacant their expressions. Abilities: Moderate nightvision. Perceptive to recognizing Litch/Witch type magic. Their magic is selfish, and can only be used to benefit themself. They can crate runic tattoos which alter any single trait. These runes are permanent and have a cost- for each power gained they lose some connection with reality. Casting abilities are stronger at night/in darkness and require a significant casting time. Weaknesses: Can eventually become extremely powerful zombie-like horrors due to loss of sanity as they gain more power. Without runes, they are the weakest species in the district, and possibly average weaker than humans. Poor nighvision compared to other Du'Preve'd species. They can be more susceptible to the adverse effects of pollution in Du’Preve
That's what I currently have! It may change when we introduce characters from these species though.
Thanks again for the ask!
Inktober Day 1 - Gargoyle
🗡️🗿🇺🇲👑🚓The power of Keith David's range is incredible, he's still the goat!🚓👑🇺🇲🗿🗡️
Bad timing, little ones!
Lately I was scrolling through tiktoc and trend about monstrification yourself popped up… And new character suddenly was created. She is gargoyle :D
Idk her name or any other details, but I thought that it will be very fun to use her in G/t setting.
Night time at least somehow safe for investigating humans dwelling… But not when there is gargoyle, who come to life when dark is come.

And some additions like extended picture and first design of my gargoyle char
“Well… this is certainly unusual…”

“I… I don’t want to speak about it…”
What hurts is the fact that you shared your soul with them just to be strangers again.
(Hi, mun speaking here! I wanted to reinterpret this scene as if it were Liberty in Brooklyn’s place, how she would react in this scenario, so please bear with me ^_^u
I feel that, just like Brooklyn, Liberty would be conflicted. Demona has not shown herself to be entirely trustworthy, but she DID save her life from humans (I imagine in Liberty’s case, it would be a book club who happened to be meeting outside… and carry firearms 😅)
And the way Demona talks, it makes sense, plus her former standing in the clan lends her some authority over the younger gargoyle, who already looked up to her, at least once, as a mother figure.
And in here lies Liberty’s biggest flaw:
She’s a people pleaser.
She has a trend of going along with whoever’s in charge (Goliath, Hudson, even Elisa to an extent) and this trait has been part of her since their original time period, meaning she would innately defer to Demona, out of habit.
Demona knows this, counts on it even, and uses it to her advantage, presenting herself as remorseful, as looking out for the clan’s best interests, and offers Liberty something she craves: knowledge.
Knowledge that could protect their clan, after all, that’s what GOLIATH would want, right?
Brooklyn looks so defeated during all of this. A lot is going on for him I think. He's still feeling really awful about his experience. He also wants to believe in Demona and that she could truly be looking out for gargoyles, but he KNOWS he shouldn't. He doesn't want to believe Demona's claims about humankind, but he's afraid from what he's experienced that she may be right. He doesn't think he should give Demona a chance, and yet he wants to believe that they could be clan again together so badly that, against his own best instincts, he takes her hand.
(Mun speaking again! More thoughts on Liberty’s interactions with the clan, particularly Demona before she revealed her true colors)
Ohhhhh this hurts 😅
The sheer ELATION Liberty felt seeing her again, believing her to have been shattered all those centuries ago. The feeling of joy at reunion was mutual, and to add onto that, Liberty would have wanted to share all she’d learned so far about the city, the new people, the new structures, her new name…
Sadly circumstances prevented such things, and I would like to believe Demona would have at least heard her out. Would she have agreed with any of it? Probably not, but at least she’d get a little peek into the enrichment her young companion was experiencing.
I do think she genuinely means it. She may suspect that she might never convert Goliath to her way of thinking, but she's been so long without gargoyles, and though she may care more for her vengeance than for her people, that came to be because she believed in the cause of helping her people at one point. It's the purpose she tells herself she's working toward. And she is so lonely. I do believe she truly hopes that she will have some of them by her side by the end of this all. There is still love and warmth in her heart, they just are nothing compared to the centuries of anger and fury and hurt and her need to burn the world down. In this moment though, she gets to play at a version of herself she, at least at one point, wishes she could recapture. These moments with her and Bronx almost makes me sad that she doesn't at least get to keep him at her side or something else that wouldn't necessarily know better.
(Mun again! I know, 2 in a day, but I’m sick and bored 😅
Don’t worry, Goliath, you’re in good company 🤣
While Liberty has picked up a good bit of modern slang, her pattern of speech is still very similar to Goliath’s, and she can switch between the two whenever she’s with him and Hudson or the trio of youngsters.
This may seem duplicitous or two-faced, but I feel like it’s very smart on her part. She’s socially aware enough to know how to speak to be understood clearly depending on who she’s with.
Add onto that her passion for reading, and her lexicon improves vastly, and sometimes she’ll purposefully use complex vocabulary to mess with the trio if they’re getting on her nerves (which is more often than you’d think)
Brooklyn: Cool
Broadway: It's a new word we learned last night*
Lexington: It indicates a positive response
Once again, Brooklyn starts the thread of doing something they're unsure of how Goliath would react to, but the other two are right on his wavelength. It's all very appropriate for each of them. Brooklyn just does it, Broadway explains why they did it, and Lexington explains the behavior. Action, social responsibility, information sharing. There are probably better ways to put it, but so far, this feels like the roles these three often are falling in to people called Furi (me).
Goliath is so perplexed by it. They're moving so much faster than him. He had no real interest in integrating into this world even if he wasn't going to stop the others, but now he's faced with the prospect of having his own motivations to actually care about this stuff, and I don't think he totally knows how to process. He did just fine with the names and all the new things he saw, but a new slang word, new language, is suddenly throwing him off.
Between Demona showing up and giving him a reason of his own to look forward to the future and embarking on a mission that isn't quite gargoyles-like, this is one thing too much apparently in this moment. Poor Goliath
I thought we learned from the Artemis Fowl movie that Kenneth Branagh, Disney, and beloved children's fantasy series are a terrible combination.
uhhhhh duhhhuhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I was rewatching the Gargoyles series and suddenly made a crossover with my favorite turtles: 3
