Seven Deadly Sins, as gory executioner cards

Superbia:

So, Superbia refers to exessive Pride. Now, this sense of all-encompassing superiority and elevated sense of self can be both very terrifiying, especially when one is exeedingly arrogant how people can allow themselves to treat others, sometimes entire societies. Also, this vision of the "self as God", with modern transhumanism and refusal of any natural definition of the self. It can also mean an over estimation of one's ability.

So, to relate it to the role of executions, the pride of a good executioner is a steady hand and a long dynastic history. Also, this concept of looking down on others...

So, for Superbia, more androgenous character wearing embroidery of human nails on a red coat that is more of a late XVIth century one that is quite aged and tattered, and at the ends of the coat are gallow-embroidered yellow ribbons that from afar look like royal hermine skin coats, while the rest of the oufit with the hankierchief is more firmly from the 1740s, but with natural hair instead of a wig, natural hair that is somewhat bleached and brassy at the end from using lye to wash blood off of it. Behind this character would be beheaded corpses with their spines removed. Removal of the spine is a common butchery technique, and thus it indicates that this character thinks of his victims as livestock. Now, for the steady hand, they should hold executioner sword, that their spindely form is ill equipped to handle, and they don't lift it, just holding it flatly in their arms, sitting in a regal position upon a tumbril, with an expression of flaming inner pride. Pride that would break before it bends, and would rather die than bow. So, some shapes that would indicate a hail of stones thrown by an angry mob, but they seem unaffected, only looking down. Having some symbol of shame or some filth on them would be great, but it would somehow enforce their regality and king-like dignity.

Acedia:

Acedia, is this lack of care, this disregard, often times a callous one, which often times does mean a certain amount of laziness, because if one doesn't care about something, they won't put a lot of effort into it. Also, it can mean the searching for an easy option, that is often times not the most ethical one.

So, for this character, a quite debonnaire man, dressed in an 1830s outfit would be quite nice, perhaps even something ressembling an indoors robe. Now, the instrument of death that would show "sloth" the best would be a guillotine or a gallow.

Now, both have the potencial to be very quick and painless way to die, but...

Decapitation machines are tricky things because of the blood loss that decapitation causes they require a lot of maintenance. In the case of a guillotine, it can easily seep into the wood, causing the blade to fall more slowly and lack the momentum to actually kill someone, making death an agonizing one. Blades, after their use, must be regularly sharpened, otherwise, there's issues, and the acidity of blood as well as the oxygen, methane and CO2 it contains can cause metals to oxydize very quickly. Being hit over and over again by a slow, blunt and rusted blade is not a fast nor painless way to die as the spine is slowly crushed from the neck down.

Gallows, one needs a lot of prep for a long drop to work, and if not for a long drop, the executioner needs to climb on top of the condemned to do very fast, semi-circular swings that alternate very quickly. In both cases, death happens by the breaking of the neck, but if one doesn't bother with either of those things, death is caused by strangulation.

This character should be slouching on an absolutely filthy guillotine.

"Tell me you hate me. 'I can't stand you anymore.' But I know, you want me. There's no other way out"

༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺

"Unnie, Lust took over Japan just three minutes ago, your brother informed us"

Yeji, your assistant, friend and fellow Deadly Sin of Mischief, informed you in a cold afternoon of winter in your manor in the outskirts of Seoul, your twin brother Min Yoongi, the Sin of Pride lived in Daegu, and had his ears everywhere, thanks very much to his Sinful power.

Lust.

Lust.

Oh how much you hated him, Kim Taehyung, the Sin of Lust, the beautiful Sin of goddam Lust, the only one who can stand up to your power of rage.

You groan in annoyance and you put down 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', the book you were reading in your personal library and you stand up, with a flick of your hand, your trench coat flew towards you and you put it on, you sigh in frustration and walk towards the door, Yeji following right behind you.

"Unnie, Hyunjin, Namjoon and I can go and stop him" Yeji said behind you. Hyunjin was Yeji's twin brother and Sin of Mischief, and Namjoon is the Sin of Sloth and your best friend, and although he's very powerful, with the ability to make others fall asleep and feed on energy, he is still, well. Sloth.

"Ah Yeji, we both know that Namjoon will complain about going"

"Right, I forgot, sorry unnie."

You sigh, knowing that it's not Yeji's fault that she forgets, her head is always filled with things, most of them are concern for you, she reminds you a lot of your younger sister Jisoo.

Jisoo, you didn't mention her name in years, ever since she was gone, taken away from you, by the human, pardon me, demon, who you loved, and that was Taehyung himself.

༻✦༺ 　200 years ago　༻✦༺

"You will not go! I will not allow it! Your mother left you and Yoongi in charge of Jisoo and you will not disappear with him!" Jungkook, your childhood best friend shouted that end of summer, you were 18, young, naïve.

"You never accepted my love! And for him?!" Jungkook shouted again as he pointed a knife at you and Taehyung, who stood beside you, meanwhile Yoongi was on your left, he was slightly glaring at Jungkook.

You and Taehyung were dating during that time, fell complete in love at first sight, you both planned to leave Busan to travel the world by yourselves, with no siblings in sight.

"Say that again! I dare you! You pathetic child!" Taehyung growled and took an intimating step towards Jungkook, his aura changed very drastically, from all soft to a pure demon.

"Stop! Both of you!" You screamed at them since they started pointing their swords at each other, you take out your own, that had snakes swirled around the handle and blade.

No one heard Jisoo coming down the stairs and hid herself behind the counter of the kitchen, to just look at you.

Jungkook, being, well. Envy, he obviously felt jealous of Taehyung for having your attention, so he made the first move and slashed Taehyung's cheek, a small cut on his cheek, Taehyung smirks as he touches his cheek, sees his black blood on his fingers and he licks his finger clean.

Yoongi was trying to hold you still, he really didn't want to interrupt because chaos would happen if he did.

Taehyung threw his sword aside, and used his powers instead, purple light came from his hands, his eyes turned purple as well and levitated Jungkook, purple electric chains were conjured, you levitated your own hands and red chains appeared to fight Taehyung's.

"Enough!" You shouted, but of course, they didn't listen. Yoongi conjured vines from the ground and tied Taehyung's legs into the ground, making Taehyung kneel and groan in pain as the thorns of the vines got into his skin.

Having enough, Taehyung conjured purple light into his hand, Jungkook conjured a yellow one and Yoongi conjured a orange light as well, and you conjured your red one.

"Stop-" You saw Jisoo run towards you as Yoongi, Jungkook and Taehyung released their energy.

"JISOO NO!"

Jisoo, who tried to stop the fight got into the crossfire, she then dropped dead, there, on your floor, your beautiful sister, who had so much life ahead of her, was there, laying as a flare was on her hair, her brown eyes open, looking at the void.

"No... No..." You sobbed as you kneeled next to her, held her head into your hands, you closed her eyes meanwhile Yoongi also kneeled and hugged Jisoo's body.

With wrath and rage, you stood up and conjured a dagger, you turned to Taehyung, who looked horrified at your dead sister's body, his eyes then turned to yours.

"Jagiya... I would never... You know that-"

You screamed and pounced at him, you were slashing your dagger at him, the blade centimeters away from his clean neck, until he disappeared, vanished.

Taehyung teleported away before the dagger arrived to its destination, with a cry of agony, you dropped to the floor and cried to yourself, Yoongi went towards you and hugged you from behind, meanwhile Jungkook still looked at Jisoo's body in disbelieve.

And that was the day you turned to Wrath.

༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺

"Inform Yuna to prepare the Jeju royal guard and Yoongi to prepare the Daegu guard, Taehyung will be in Busan" You say as you step out your manor, adjusting your cuffs of your jacket, Yeji came out but instead, she brought your Night Fury, Lilith, for your ride to Busan, and on her shoulder, was your black mamba companion, Nagini.

"Unnie, are you sure you don't want any one of us to go?"

"Yes, I'll be fine, I'll have Lilith with me"

Yeji nods, she gives you a tight hug from behind, you turn around and hug her back and place a kiss on her temple, she lets you go, muttering a 'Bye Unnie', she returned to the manor.

Sighing, you look over to your other best friends, Lilith and Nagini

Yes, Lilith was named after the Queen of Hell, but no one nowadays know that Lilith is not the real Queen of Hell, it was actually you, Lilith is just temporary since you live on Earth.

Who is the King then if Lucifer isn't the King? Well, it's Taehyung sadly.

And of course you name your black mamba Nagini, after all, you do like Harry Potter.

You mount on Lilith's back, you give her a pat on the side of her neck and she spreads her wings and rises into the air with speed.

༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺

The flight to Busan didn't take long, since Lilith's speed is incredible, you were able to see the palace of the Kim family, which Taehyung inherited from his parents when they died by an attack of normal humans who were jealous of their power.

Many, many humans were jealous of your powers, but many others were grateful, knowing that the balance is being well controlled by 'magical beings'.

As you and Lilith flew above the palace, she suddenly stopped with a warning roar, she only did that when she sensed something out of place, Nagini moved from her secure grip on your arm to Lilith's forehead, using her tail to soothe Lilith.

"Lilith? What's wrong?" You ask as you pet her side of her neck, she gives off a hiss, with her wings, she made a powerful flap towards the palace and the wind got reflected back, a purple shield was revealed and then it vanished.

'Magical barrier, classical Taehyung magic' You thought.

You turned Lilith towards the side, and you touched the barrier.

Your hand went through.

"Get us down Lilith" You ordered Lilith softly as Nagini returned to your neck and Lilith flew towards the forest that was near the palace, when you touched ground, you dismounted Lilith and removed Nagini from your neck and placed her on the back of Lilith, and they both looked deeply confused at your actions.

"Seeing that I'm the only one that can cross the barrier, I'll go by myself" You explain to them as you take off your purse and placed it on the back of Lilith and took out 5 daggers and placed them at your thigh knife holster, you took out your Jikdo from it's holder placed at your hip and exanimated it, you see a bit of splash of blood in it and you clean it with your sleeve.

"I should at least go!" Nagini argued in Parseltongue, snake language.

"If Lilith can't cross, you won't be able as well" You say in Parseltongue as you placed your Jikdo back to it's place, Nagini frowned in her serpent way, not happy with your response, but you carressed her forehead and she hissed in delight, her serpent body relaxed.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lilith nodded her head, her expression still said thoughts until she turned and drank water from the nearby lake, while Nagini laid in a stone.

You turned around and walked over to the palace, as you got closer to the barrier, you felt uncertain, you felt an weird aura around, it was no mistake Taehyung's magic that made you feel that.

With one last look at Lilith and Nagini, you crossed the border that separated you and Taehyung.

༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺

"Hyung, she's here, what would you like me, Jinnie-ah, hobi, Jimin, Jennie, Chaeyoung and Lisa to do?" Jungkook asked Taehyung, who was sitting lazily on his throne, a goblet of blood in his hand as his lips were red from the blood.

Jungkook had lost interest in you years after the incident with your sister, and he fell in love with someone else, and that was Taehyung's twin brother. Seokjin. Jimin and Jennie were also his siblings, meanwhile Chaeyoung and Lisa were their cousins.

"Continue on the torture of the prisoners, I will take care of her." Taehyung smirked and licked his lips, it's been years since he last saw you, and he was eager to see you after all those years.

Jungkook nodded and smirked at Taehyung's expression before he turned and left Taehyung by himself.

Taehyung placed his forefinger against his lips as he looked at a photograph of you and him under a cherry blossom, he removed his finger from his lips and caressed your side of the photograph, his irises turned slightly pink.

'I'll make you feel my love today, Jagiya'

༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺

'I forgot how big this palace was' You thought as you stood in front of the door to the inside, normal people would've just open or knocked the door, but since you are not a normal person, but rather the most powerful Sin, you just trespassed through the door, like nothing was there.

The inside was very elegant, and it looked like the western Victorian era, Taehyung's favorite era, as you went further the stronger the aura felt, in a corridor you were walking through, you saw a mirror, you stood in front of the mirror and stared at yourself.

That is, until Taehyung appeared behind you.

"Long time no see, Jagiya"

You took out your Jikdo and tried to turn around but Taehyung pinned you to the wall, your chest was against the wall and Taehyung's chest against your back, his hand then grabbed your neck.

"That's not very nice, after all these years, you want to murder me? I thought you were glad to see me"

You scoffed, you tried to shrug him off but his grip on your neck tightened, he leaned his face towards your neck, his hot breath made you feel uneasy, you suddenly felt arousal building up in your lower stomach, he had his unoccupied hand on your hip, and his fingers danced slowly downwards, closer and closer, and then you noticed.

He's using his power of seduction.

You growl and you became shadows and merged behind him, you placed your Jikdo against his neck.

"That's cheating!"

Taehyung turned around and he also pointed his Jikdo, which had had 'Kim' written in the blade, just like yours had 'Min'.

"Everything is fair in love and war, Jagiya"

You growled again and conjured a ball of darkness in your hand and made it explode on the ground, giving you time to turn into shadows again.

"Now that's not fair, dear."

"Like you said, everything is fair in love and war"

You merged behind him again and pushed him to the ground, your eyes turned blood-red as his head made contact with the ground, a pained groan left him and you placed your foot on his neck, his hands came to your leg as his eyes also turned red.

Taehyung coughed and black blood left his mouth slightly, he smirked as he wiped his blood off, before you could do anything, he started singing a line.

"Make you feel my love, oh~"

Shit.

Golden chains were conjured, they were surrounded by purple light, they started to move like snakes as they charged at you.

You left Taehyung on the floor as you tried to teleport away, but it didn't work, and even turning into shadows wouldn't work against magical chains.

Curse him and his enchantments.

You started to run away from the chains as Taehyung stood up behind you, enjoying the way you're running away from him.

One of the chains grabbed your waist and made you stop as the other chains grabbed your ankle, neck, and arms.

"Make you feel my love, oh~"

Taehyung, who was incharge of the chains, pulled you back and instantly, you were trapped in his arms as the chains tightened.

"You think you can escape me? After all these years?" He asked softly as he placed one hand on your cheek, his hold on you suddenly felt comforting, the chains around loosened as he stroke your cheek, his thumb then came to a stop on your bottom lip, he then stares into your eyes, his bright purple eyes then turned to it's original dark purple shade.

He started to lean in and kissed you softly, you instantly gave to his kiss, he placed his hand on the back of your head to kiss you deeper, you forgot in what situation you were in, and what he did 200 years ago, he parted your lips with his tongue and explored your mouth.

Until you remembered the situation.

You groaned in the kiss and you transformed into a snake to escape the chains around you, Taehyung growled as he raised his hand again and started to control his chains, his eyes turned to the brightest shade of purple once again and the chains moved snake like again.

You transformed back into a human, except you had black wings on your back, you rarely used your wings because you usually have Lilith with you, but in the circumstances you currently are now, you clearly need to use them.

Before Taehyung's enchanted chains could grab you again, you spread your wings and took off, you broke the celling and made it outside.

Once you were in the barrier, you tried to leave but you hit the barrier instead, the barrier closed, even for you.

'Stupid lustful sin' You thought.

You heard something break under you, Taehyung, with his own black wings took off and started to fly towards you at incredible speed.

You hissed and started to fly around the dome Taehyung created to tire him down, but instead, you were starting to become tired.

Taehyung was in your tail, you conjured your dagger from your thigh knife holster and threw one at him, he dodged it by only centimeters.

You could feel his anger rising, one of your cons and pros of being Wrath yourself, he conjures a ball of dark purple light and throws it at you, you dodged it and flew towards the ground, you could hear Taehyung following you.

Suddenly, you made a turn upwards, grabbed Taehyung, who was near you and pushed him to the ground, where the impact created a crater.

You could hear Taehyung exclaim in pain and hear something crack.

'I think I broke his wings' You thought as you had balls of darkness in your hands, just in case.

Suddenly, you were hit by one of Taehyung's purple light, your wings stopped working and you started to fall, you were so near the floor you could see the patterns of the tiles.

Taehyung conjured a big pillow that caught you before you could hit the ground, you felt strange, something changed in you, and you felt your eyes burn.

"Come here, Jagiya"

Your body moved by itself, you had no control, it felt like you were a marionette and he was the puppeteer.

'Biological Manipulation' You thought as you got closer to Taehyung, when you were in his range, he quickly placed his arm around your waist and his other on your neck.

"Why do you have to fight everything I do to the point I have to control your body?" He tsked, his hand on your neck tightened.

"Cat caught your tongue? No, more like Lust caught your tongue?" He teased, you could feel yourself becoming redder, you couldn't use your magic, he is on the same level or perhaps stronger than you.

He leaned not towards your lips, but towards your ear.

"Answer me" He growled, until his face dropped to your neck, where he started to kiss slowly as you could only stand there and not do anything.

Just as you were going to moan, Taehyung stopped with a hiss of pain, and you heard a familiar hiss.

"Curse you! You filthy snake!"

Nagini hissed loudly, she bit Taehyung on his leg, you felt getting your control back, but a tail grabbed your waist.

Lilith was the one that grabbed you, she roared loudly at Taehyung, meanwhile he hissed at her.

Just when Nagini was going to bite Taehyung again, another person attacked Nagini.

And that was your other childhood best friend, Jungkook.

"Don't touch my hyung!"

Lilith felt danger, so she placed you on her back and shot a plasma blast bellow her to create smoke.

When Taehyung and Jungkook exclaimed at the sudden dust, Lilith dived, grabbed Nagini with her paw and started to fly away quickly, but you heard shouting back there, you turned and saw Taehyung riding his own Night Fury, Lucifer. But he was not following you, no, he was flying on his spot to taunt you.

"You may hate me. You may not stand me anymore. But I know you still want me! And there's no other way out of this, Jagiya!"

You ignored him, but you've got to admit.

He's not wrong.

Right, so the month of pride is over

What's next? Wrath? Gluttony?

After giving them the Golden Apple they turn into this. You have purify the apples and survive their Photoshop attacks to cleanse their soul

Seven Deadly Sins- Gluttony

I get why Gluttony is portrayed the way they are in pop culture, but I find it kinda mean spirited, so I drew my interpretation of the sin as a school girl. I know people will say that kids are voids for food so... Yeah.

Plus I also wanted to put in teeth and gums stuff to contrast the green. You might get green around the gills if you eat too much and gums are pink, green and pink are a good color scheme.

Yeah...

haven't post anything lately

Uhhh.. obey me?!?!

The original picture up top of course

Not great with anime art
