No one seems to have noticed Iโ€™m a talentless hack masquerading as a writer, and I intend to ride that train as far as I can.

A neon pink inferno burns across a dark, liquid surface, with sparks and embers flying into a pitch-black sky. In bold glowing serif text at the center it reads:
โ€œAGENTโ€™S AVOIDANCE GUIDE: THE DYING RELIGION.โ€
Beneath that, in all-caps white text:
โ€œBrought to you by the unholy trinity of God complexes, Emotional Trauma, and Daddy issues.โ€

A dark forest is lit by surreal glowing pink embers scattered across the ground, giving the entire scene an eerie, post-apocalyptic vibe. Overlaid in all-caps white text:
โ€œIn a world where therapy is expensive but divine wrath is government funded, two underqualified gays and a himbo must weaponise blasphemy, a chronic lack of survival instincts and generational trauma to save the Gods. Again.โ€

A aesthetic in tones of lava red, black, and ash. Images include molten lava flowing across land, a volcano erupting into smoke, a waterfall of fire pouring off a cliff, hands crackling with magical lightning, and a deep red rose with scorched petals.

Overlaid text reads:

โ€œMagic was not a wound to cauterise but a limb to amputate.โ€behind which very faint is a silhouette before a burning building. 

โ€œAnd so the continent turned on what remained of the Gods.โ€ behind which very faint is a a winged figure falling through the clouds. 

โ€œAnd began to cut.โ€ behind which very faint is a trail of blood trekking through snow towards a river.

No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, let alone win it. But triumph saw a God bleed out on the altar of their peace.

Now, as mortals race to slaughter the five who remain, the children raised for holy war must decide if the divine deserve saving.

The background is a man in the water pointing a middle finger toward the camera. It is overlaid with a darkish purple

โ€œReasons why THE DYING RELIGION f*cking sucksโ€

Magic isnโ€™t power. Itโ€™s a parasite.
The gods are *ssholes.
I rip religion a new one.
The MC and Villain are in love and very angsty, but no kiss.
So much cast diversity in terms of LGBTQIA, disabled and people of colour the Mango Mussolini would pop a vein.
The prose is so purple Thanos asks for skincare tips.
Iโ€™m the one writing it and I am, at best, mentally unstable.โ€

Blasphemous, batshit crazy high fantasy brought to you by a chronically sleep deprived pansexual who really ought to be under some kind of supervision.

Consider yourselves warned.

n aesthetic divided into 8 diagonal parts, at the centre on a black box is the quote โ€œdo you know what it costs to be loved by a god?โ€

The images are as follows, described from top left and following around in a clockwise manner,
- a man crouched to the ground, covering his ears.
- a dragon setting ablaze a town
- a man struck through the chest by lightning
- a ship afloat on the waters, on fire
- an army split down the middle to create a path
- an eye with fire burning in place of the iris 
- a volcanic erupting 
- old, rusted clocks

An aesthetic in a 3x3 format, photos in column 1, row 1 & 2, and column 3, row 2 & 3 are divided by a torn scrap of paper with a little quote on both. These are described going from top left to top right and so on for each row. 

A silhouette stood before a wall of ocean, a whale in the waters. 
A silhouette on horseback, riding through flames. 
A hand half buried by dirt, twined with vines and branches.
Meteors crashing into a hillside and town.
A skull partially buried in dirt. 
A silhouette stood hunched over, watching a distant fire. 
A hooded figure and an unclothed man, his soul being sucked out dementor [eeew] style. 
The close up shot of an eye, fire replacing the iris.
Hands held partially apart, electricity flickering between them.


For column 1, row 1 & 2 the intercepting quote is "do you know what it costs to be loved by a God?"
For column 3, row 2 & 3 the intercepting quote is "Grief makes monsters of mothers."

The pitch page for the project. The pitch itself is in a large black box with dashed orange borders, the word pitch intersects with the box and is in a black and white echoing font.

The pitch is:

No one expected orphans to survive the war 
meant to end magic, least of all win it. 
But victoryโ€™s price? The death of their God.

Now war returns to a still healing continent, 
the enemy intent on slaughtering 
the five remaining Gods.

and the children raised as Holy-War cannon
fodder must decide if theyโ€™re worth saving.

The quote โ€œthere is only one religion in war, and believe me when  itโ€™ll you itโ€™s a godless faith.โ€

Tropes:

The hero and villain both have information about the individual characters in two separate black boxes, both with orange dashed borders. The word โ€œheroโ€ and โ€œvillainโ€ intersects the relevant boxes (right and left respectively)

Villain 

The gods killed all he loved
Out for revenge on the gods
Brainwashed veteran
Waterbender
Raised as cannon fodder
Reborn as propaganda 
In love with the hero

Hero:
Raised to be the weapon of the gods
Out to destroy the institution that forged him
Guilt ridden veteran
Electricity bender 
Raised as cannon fodder 
Remade as a national threat (not what graphic says but need to resave that one)
In love with the villain

In the centre is the quote โ€œyour first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.โ€

With arrows pointing from hero (the receiver) to the villain (the speaker.)
