Listen, I'm not going to randomly shit on Simp Cameraman and TV Woman dynamic all of the sudden and say "it was never funny", because it would be a lie. It was kinda funny!

But it worked because it was more like a meta-joke yk? It clearly was poking fun at all the people in the community that were simping on TV Woman, fuck it Elite made part of his career on just that

But this whole thing of "Chad Simp rejects TV Woman" now is kinda sad, and it grows old very quickly. It's cool that Simp is being developed and becoming his own character, but is this really the right way to do it? As the sigma ice cold whose only notable feats in the 2 episodes he appeared in were "shooting lasers and hating women"?

Also this is such a Schrödinger dilemma because I legitimately cannot tell if Inviz is showing Simp so they can show more of TV Woman, or showing TV Woman so they can show more of Simp. Not like either of these options are good but still

Here's my representation (although probably wrong) of Norse Cosmology, or at least the parts that I could somewhat point and depict on a map. A few notes:

• Imagine that Alfheim and Idavoll are inside of Asgard. I didn't draw them for lack of space but they are

• Here I divided Midgard from the whole world. This is based on the passage:

> "against the attack of restless giants they built a burg within the sea and around the earth. For this purpose they used the giant Ymir's eyebrows, and they called the burg Midgard"

I interpreted it as a difference between Midgard and the world Odin created, where Midgard is described more like a buffer state around Asgard.

• I called the earth itself as "Jord" for the sake of labeling, although this is probably not accurate (Jord is the earth/soil, and also Thor mom, but Idk if the world itself is ever called Jord in the sources). I did note that the world is Ymir Corpse tho.

• While separate, Midgard is sometimes also referred to as the whole world, so there are some things explicitly stated to affect all of Midgard (like the World Serpent) that I interpreted as affecting the whole world.

• Vanaheim is placed west of Asgard since in the Lokasenna Njord had to travel east when going to Asgard as a hostage. A bit of a stretch but it's the best I've got.

• The black blobs are "Lots of Jotenheimar". I don't actually think the giants all lived in a cluster of islands, but I'm depicting it as such to show that the giant lived in a lot of separate lands rather than one singular one.

• Glæsisvellir (the yellow thing in Jotunheimar) is described as either in north or south and is a nice land where people live forever. This isn't really in the sources but I thought it was nice to include.

• Járnviðr (Iron Wood) is described as east of Midgard, so it could still be part of Earth itself, but given its giant association I put in Jotenheimar

• Utgardr is kinda weird. It's described as being east into Jotenheimar and past it, going through an ocean and forest before reaching it, so here I placed it at the very edges of the cosmo.

• Muspell and Nifl are north and south, I haven't drawn them but they are. The white background is Ginnungagap :P

• Hel is sometimes understood to be part of Niflheim, or Niflheim itself, or the new Niflheim when Hel was banished there

• No, i have no idea where Niðavellir, Svartalfheim, Okolnir etc could be (prolly underground?)

I should start by saying that the concept of the "Seven Deadly Sins" itself isn't biblical, and the list and number of sins have changed over time (the closest I could find is Proverbs 6:16-19, but even that doesn't neatly match). For example, you originally had things like despair or depression as sins; vainglory and pride were seen as different things (in Evagrius Ponticus's On the Eight Thoughts); sloth, apathy, and acedia got conflated over time; and lust in the Bible was identified as lust, pride, and greed all together (1 John 2:16). But nonetheless...

Lucifer - the "Devil as Lucifer" doesn't exist in the Bible, and the name "Lucifer" itself does not appear in the original Hebrew or Greek texts. The word lucifer comes from the 4th-century Latin Vulgate, where it translates the Hebrew phrase hêlēl ben-šaḥar ("shining one, son of dawn") in Isaiah 14:12.

Isaiah 14 is a taunt song against the king of Babylon, comparing his fall to the morning star that disappears with the sunrise.

This is actually a double translation, originally from the Hebrew hêlēl ben-šaḥar ("shining one, son of dawn"), then translated into Greek (the Septuagint) as heōsphoros ("dawn-bearer"), and finally into Latin as lucifer ("light-bearer").

Both Lucifer and Heōsphoros were ordinary words for the morning star, which also happened to be personified as minor gods associated with the Dawn Goddess.

The term Lucifer became demonic in much later times, as the word is used positively again in 2 Peter 1:19 to refer to Jesus. There was also a bishop named Lucifer of Cagliari in the 4th century.

Also no, the king of Babylon being mocked here isn't Satan, with the passage going on to describe the king's death and burial. Also, it literally couldn't be the devil, as the devil isn't even a figure in the Old Testament.

Mammon - literally wealth. Māmōnā is an Aramaic word meaning "money," "wealth," or "profit."

This comes from a biblical saying in Matthew 6:24, where Jesus personifies wealth rhetorically: "You cannot serve both God and mammon/money." Whether you want to interpret "Mammon" as literally just money, a personification of wealth, or a demon is up to you, but the Bible doesn't frame it as a living demon.

This actually isn't that uncommon in the Bible, as figures like Azazel and Moloch can also be interpreted as actual living figures (a fallen angel/desert spirit and a Canaanite god) or just the acts of scapegoating and child sacrifice.

---

Belphegor - appears specifically once as the Ba'al (lord) of a mountain called Peor. He seems to be a local Canaanite or, most likely, a Moabite deity.

While the biblical episode related to the deity results in a great plague and a lot of deaths, this is mainly because of his worshippers, as the god doesn't actually act or do anything... (Numbers 25:8–9 says the plague came from YHWH).

There is no sloth, technology, or French correlation, though, which mainly seems to come from Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal in the 19th century.

Also, apparently he was associated with shit???

Beelzebub - his real name is Ba'al-Zebul (Lord of the High Place). This is the actual Ba'al, the Canaanite deity, with the -Zebul part acting more as an epithet.

The Bible demonized his name into "Ba'al-Zebub," which means "Lord of the Flies." In the Old Testament (2 Kings 1:2–6 and 16), he is a patron deity of the Philistine city of Ekron and is treated just like any pagan deity is treated in the Old Testament (belittled and overpowered by YHWH's greatness and all).

Later on, in the New Testament, his name is used more as a form of a slur towards demons, rather than denoting a specific demon itself (Matthew 10:25, 12:24–27; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15–19). As far as I'm aware, Beelzebub becomes his own character only in Milton's Paradise Lost, where he is Satan's lieutenant (Books 1 & 2), unless you consider his role as Prince of Envy in The Lanterne of Light or Prince of Gluttony in Binsfeld's classification.

Dante, for example, uses Beelzebub as just another name for Lucifer (Canto 34), alongside other names like Satan and Dis, which could indicate that Beelzebub was seen more as a catch-all term for demons in general rather than a distinctive individual one.

Asmodeus - he is from the Book of Tobit, which is kind of like soft canon from the Bible. It is recognized by most Christians, such as Catholic and Orthodox Christians, but rejected by Protestants and in Judaism.

His name likely comes from the Persian/Zoroastrian spirit Aeshma Daeva, which means "spirit of wrath" (Vendidad 11:9 and Yasna 57), although I can understand where the lustful connection comes from:

He is a demon that killed Sarah's seven husbands out of jealousy (Tobit 3:7–8), nearly driving her to suicide (Tobit 3:10–15), and then got beaten up and bound by the angel Raphael and Tobias in Egypt (Tobit 8:3).

I found some versions that say he was enslaved and used to build the Temple of Solomon, but I am not entirely sure that is biblical, which is why I didn't include it. However, this is most likely the reason why Asmodeus is listed among the Ars Goetia (both in the Lesser Key of Solomon and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum).

Satan - the main villain of the New Testament. He is the red dragon who fell from heaven ("like lightning," according to Jesus in Luke 10:18), featuring seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 12:3). He tempts Jesus in the desert (among other times) and has a throne in Türkiye (Revelation 2:13).

By the end of Revelation, he burns forever in the Lake of Fire, alongside the Beast of the Sea, the False Prophet, Death, Hades (Sheol, the realm of the dead), and anyone whose name isn't written in the Book of Life. He ded pretty much (Revelation 20:10).

Whether he is also the serpent of Eden and the Ha-Satan who challenges God in the Book of Job is up to interpretation. There are certain passages and references in the New Testament that hint at it, but you gotta do some mental gymnastics...

---

Leviathan - appears in the Bible more than I thought, annoyingly so.

First mentioned in Job as an established and known mythical creature (Job 3:8). Then mentioned alongside the Behemoth as a monster to show how cool and strong God's creation is (Job 40:15–41:34). Then Psalm 74:14 and Isaiah 27:1 mention God killed the Leviathan.

Later in the Bible, the Leviathan is conflated with Rahab (another water monster distinct from Leviathan) as a monster God killed to show control over chaos. Why the mix-up? Fuck you that's why, but thank God these passages explicitly say God killed the Leviathan, otherwise it would be annoying to determine the Leviathan's fate. He ded, most likely.

The main point I'm trying to convey is that looking for concepts like the deadly sins or their princes to be "biblically accurate" is a bit pointless because these concepts themselves aren't biblically accurate. Usually, the imagery people have of these demons comes from word of mouth and personal interpretations, which is fine, but shouldn't be treated as a definitive canon.

I think many people fail to understand how old the Bible is, and ignore how much concepts can change over 2000 years and more. How a sin or demon is treated usually just reflects the time period and culture of the author.

For example, I'm Italian, and here Mammon is seen as a large bogeyman cat, I had no idea he was related to greed at all lol

Modern authors reinterpreting the sins through modern lenses aren't being "less accurate to the source material," because people have been doing these reinterpretations for ages. Every reinterpretation was "modern and inaccurate" when it came out, just look at Milton's Satan and Dante's Satan.

Also are those tears in Moon's eyes :0

Poor girl honestly, she constantly talks down on herself and now was basically surrendering to whatever Judgment was planning to do, wonder what's the deal with her low self-esteem...

Maybe I'm reading too much into it

But at the same time-

Order is not that important as much the tier. Tbf I'm not really sure about the positioning of most of these, but whatever

I actually drew this guy a while ago but I've been thinking of doing something with this idea because he looks cute

He's just a little guy :0

FEATURING the L, the G, the B, and the T!

I wanted to draw some others too but I've been grinding my ass off to get these done and my hands are die

Like always, but more than ever, support all LGBTQ+ folks, they need it! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

First time I draw them actually, at least in a semi-serious way. Saw that Speakerman 3.0 design? I think it's alright, the speakers always had that more "sleek" aesthetic compared to the cameras and TVs, being over-designed doesn't fit

Also wanted to add their cape but couldn't find a way to make it look good :(

Honestly we should get a female prime soul, kinda funny how ULTRAKILL has really little female rep actually.

Her design is inspired by Medusa because snake hair cool, and putting a noose around her neck was pretty morbid (Antigone fate is pretty terrifying in greek mythology, look that up)

Ulysses/Odysseus prime (little guy in the corner) design comes straight from talented u/amor_im

My Earclacks slop designs [OC]

Featuring: Axe, Unarmed, Sword (kinda), Torch, Slammy and Rapier + some other Unarmed
