"I'm the most marvelous murderous monster
That you'll ever get to meet.
And you can see it for yourself,
While all the blood drips from my teeth.

I ate my id and then became it.
I'm living reckless and feeling shameless.
No master here to hold me back.
I'm free to let this beast attack.

Misfits and freaks, gather round friends...
Come here with me and play pretend.
Just for tonight, we'll take off our disguise.
And remember this day,
For the rest of our lives.

A doodle of a friend's oc and mine. @fizzyembers' Harriet the frankenmouse. And my vengence entity, Deianara. Heavily inspired by the song I cited. It fits them both so well but also the duo they would become, it was playing so many times in the process so I had to include it.

We both ended up making murderous mice that operate best under making their enemies pay dearly. Harriet, out of trauma and a desire to make sure they pay, and the desire to make sure what happened to her doesn't happen to anyone else. Deianara, because she carries the weight and pain of those that never got to enact the revenge they needed. She is their agony, their need for reciprocity, their burning and their ire. Very little difference to those they hunt down. I'm OBSESSED with this play and complementary dynamics on the concept of righteous murderous vengeance.

I'm just plain OBSESSED with these two in general.

I get to use this as an excuse to add another bit of Deianara lore. Deinara will eventually wield a weapon. I just haven't picked one yet. But Deianara also has an attack known as her "Death Touch". Her arms turn into something mimicking a smoldering burnt-corpse, and not only is it ridiculously hot and has the destructive damage of lava, it also has a status effect of eventually turning enemies to ash and cinders. It's downright fuckin biblical. While it isn't one of her more impressive displays of power to non-mortals, it's a pretty terrifying thing to witness and undergo if she gets the upper hand on someone.
