⚠ WARNING! The following project contains: -Disturbing Imagery/Themes -Body Horror! If you are sensitive to these, click off the project! ⚠ Yay another DTAE I LOVE worms on strings, and I absolutely loved this little goober’s design! If I didn’t like it, why would I have entered for them? I modified their design slightly to make it a bit easier to draw them, hope that’s okay ^^ I have named them Nymbleth Whirrsquirm! (Any pronouns, They/It preferred) You can also just call them Nym if their name is too complicated for you to pronounce! I also included multiple drawings of them just because I thought those drawings looked cool :3 Now for everyone’s favorite part of DTAEs: Unreasonably edgy backstory stuff! Yay! Their lore: All of the worms lived in containment, Nym included. The place had bright and happy colors everywhere, and was painted and designed like an indoor playground. There was a smiling sun in a corner, the flowers had petals so colorful it hurt to look at them for too long, and there was never any exposure to terrible things that might hurt the worms' feelings. Nym was always rather lonely. They were shy and didn't always feel comfortable around the other worms. But it wasn't just because they were socially awkward. It was because of what the other worms did. The worms worshiped a god. Zymohr was a god of many things, but primarily mushrooms, oracles, and torment. The other worms praised Zymohr for their blessings of food. Zymohr, according to the other worms, would come to the containment annually with delicious mushrooms. Nym never liked the taste of these mushrooms, however, and thought that the others' worship was inhumane. Because of this, they were often seen as an outcast and a heretic. One day, the other worms decided to take Nym away. They were taken to a strange ritual site, and in front of a strange sigil in the dirt stood Zymohr themself. The angry god was chanting in a peculiar language, but stopped the incantation when they saw Nym. The mushroom deity held their hand out, and Nym felt a surge of pain. Before they could scream in agony, several mushrooms sprouted from their fur in various spots. Nym had begun to cry and beg for mercy. Zymohr ignored these pleas. The other worms watched with an uncanny hunger. Nym was shrieking in pain now. Strange inky splotches appeared on their hands. Another splotch appeared over their right eye. They could hardly breathe out of panic. But eventually, the pain subsided. The voice of Zymohr boomed in their head… "YOU ARE A HERETIC. THIS IS YOUR OWN FAULT, BUT I REFUSE TO HARM YOU ANY FURTHER. YOU MUST STAY ALIVE TO HEAR THE OTHER WORMS MOCK YOU. RUN AWAY NOW, LITTLE MISFIT. YOU CAN HIDE FROM ME, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM YOUR MISTAKES." Nym blacked out. After what felt like hours, they woke up outside of the containment they were told to stay in. They could still feel an otherworldly tingling sensation… Nym ran away from the containment. They ran as far as they could that day. They eventually found a new home with a kind family, but they would forever be haunted by their horrid past… That’s all I had for their backstory! I’m SUPER proud of how I wrote it, and I’m VERY likely to make more entries as time passes :D ⇩READ THIS BEFORE REMIXING!⇩ -Be sure to give proper credit to the original coders! In this case, please give credit to ! -Don’t recolor. It’s extremely aggravating, and I would much prefer it if you used your own art. -I'm cool with people remixing this, just change something so your remix isn't an exact duplicate of mine! ⇩CREDITS⇩ ❥-➤ CODING BY: ❥-➤ ART BY: ❥-➤ EFFECTS BY: N/A ❥-➤ SONG IS: Toby Fox - Amalgam ❥-➤ CHARACTER IS: Nymbleth [Any pronouns, designed by and currently belongs to !]
