Hieron Zine Comic: The Violence of Its Maintenance

[Read the left side as one storyline, the right side as another]

"For every inside, an outside." / "Every border implies the violence of its maintenance."

For me and @wellnoe's piece for the Hieron Zine, we were excited to tell a story about Hella’s semi-involuntary status as a mascot of Ordennan empire and borders as a literal technology of death that played with comic borders and formatting! The title is, of course, from the Ayesha A. Siddiqi quote.

Script for the comic below the cut, which also serves as a rough image description:

Layout note: Panels are small relative to the page and “float” in the gutter space. Adelaide swims freely between them and speaks to Hella inside the panels’ borders. The comic is laid out vertically, mostly in two columns. Panels on the left are labeled L, the center labeled M, and right labeled R. Panel numbers denote which row of the overall page they’re on.

Page 1: 3 Rows 

Panel M.1.A: Adaire hunched over a map of Hieron in a dimming twilight room.

Panel M.1.B: Close up of the map having Nacre added to it near the shore, and an outline sketched of its border, the pencil in Adaire’s hand. 

Panel M.1.C: Adaire’s hand in close-up, partially erasing the border around Nacre. 

Panel L.2: Hella outside the Ordennan border, at a tall gate. A guard looks at her suspiciously from the other side. 

Adelaide to Panel L.2: Adelaide looks at Hella condescendingly. 

Adelaide: Do you imagine that walls will keep Nacre’s gift out? 

Panel R.2: Hella and Hadrian ride in a halfling-driven cart through the refugee camp towards the Ordennan military camp. Hadrian watches Hella for her reaction to seeing the refugees. 

Panel L.3: Hella displays the emblem of the Tristes to a crowd of cheering soldiers, brandishing her sword in a stabbing gesture. 

Soldiers: Is that– From the cleansing of Nacre– She killed the queen! 

Adelaide to panel L.3: For every inside…

Panel R.3: Stornras Glasseye shows Hella and Hadrian a map of Ordenna’s planned invasion of Velas. 

Adelaide to panel R.3: …an outside. 

Page 2: 4 Rows

Panel L.1: Hella reads the book about her family being a line of traitors, inside the undersea cave. She is hunched over awkwardly, wet from swimming in, and visibly perturbed. 

Adelaide to Panel L.1: Adelaide reads over Hella’s shoulder. She’s draped over the panel like a cat, one hand dangling inside and the other holding an apple to her mouth.  

Adelaide: Our dear father did like that ancestor of yours, only for her to betray Nacre and then Ordenna. Varals love to hang people out to dry.  

Panel R.1: Hadrian and Hella interrogating Iduna Fel. Hella holds a torch up. Iduna, seated and hands bound, looks up at them and snarls at the torch, speaking of how Quintrona should burn Rosemerrow to stop the undead. 

Iduna Fel: We should be burning every place–every person–the curse has touched. 

Adelaide to Panel R.1: A family of traitors fits right in with the Tristes.

Panel L.2.A: Hella is on tour of Ordenna. She looks out distantly at the countryside. A clothesline with clothing hanging from them forming figures like people separates Hella in the panel from a mine like the ones her father worked.

Panel L.3.B: Hella on tour in an urban center, looking lost. Train tracks separate Hella from a guard station. 

Ordennan soldiers: Queenkiller! It’s the Queenkiller! 

Adelaide to panels L.2: Adelaide’s teeth are bared, her lazy demeanor dropping for one vicious moment. 

Adelaide:At least I remember that you should be called Kingkiller as well. 

Panel R.2: Hella and Hadrian walking back through the refugee camp. Refugees do laundry, multiple clotheslines crossing the panel, the clothes partially obscuring Hella and Hadrian. 

Adelaide to panel R.2: Do you believe your people to be better than me? They decide who dies to expand the borders of Ordenna. 

Panel L.3: Hella marching in front of a company of Anchor in a square formation, Ordennan soldiers crowding around them. Hella is smiling stiffly, uncomfortable. She is wearing a shiny new uniform. 

Panel R.3: Hella standing equally stiffly in front of a line of Pala-din that guard the Ordennan camp from the refugees. She watches a circle of refugees cooking and crafting, going about the business of their survival. Some are visibly undead. Two of the refugees are a Nacreite young Black sibling pair with an older boy and younger girl, invoking Calhoun and Adelaide.  Hadrian in the background examines a pala-din, his stance mirroring theirs. 

Adelaide to panel R.3: Adelaide looks at the siblings in panel R.3 but speaks over her shoulder to Hella on the left. 

Adelaide: Is it so monstrous that Nacre grows so that more may live after death? 

Panel L.4: Hella alone in a lavish Ordennan bedroom, looking out of place and small. Maybe in plain underclothes and curled up on a chair, looking angry.

Hella: Yes! 

Her dialogue fills up the panel, crowding her. 

Panel R.4: The refugees notice Hella and Hadrian and look at them warily. The boy steps in front of his sister. Hella looks small in the crowd of people. She holds a hand out to the boy. 

Page 3: 3 Rows

Panel L.1: Hella in a lavish Ordennan ceremonial chamber, on a stage. She is dressed in fine clothing given to her. A pearl-studded brooch with an Ordennan motif is being pinned on her by some military-uniformed functionary. 

Military functionary: For you, the spoils of our first battle. 

Gathered soldiers and civilians: Queenkiller! Queenkiller! Queenkiller! 

Panel R.1: Hella makes an awkward ‘open your hand’ gesture to the boy, who warily opens his hand. 

Refugees: Isn’t she….That’s the Queenkiller. The Queenkiller?

Panel L2: Hella, with her head bowed, has her arms and shoulders draped with garlands of gems and pearls looted from Nacre. The ends of the strands run down out of the bottom and side of the panel. 

Military functionary: May you always bear the fruits of our holy empire. 

Panel R.2: The boy has a handful of apple candies poured into his palm. He looks up, defiantly. A few candies fall down outside the panel. 

Adelaide, to both panels L.2 and R.2: She holds the end of a pearl garland in one hand and an apple candy in another 

Adelaide: Then tell me…What are you going to do about it, Hella Varal? 

Panel M.3.A: Adaire’s hand drawing the refugee camp in Knoll Hollow into a map of Rosemerrow. 

Panel M.3.B: The Ordennan military camp being drawn outside the refugee camp. 

Panel M.3.C: The wall around Rosemerrow being drawn between the refugee and Ordennan camps as a border.

sage , the arabian horse

teeeeeeechnically he's not really mine , as he belongs to the scout regiment , howevz he's the horse assigned to me and he and i got bonded almost immediately <33 the name sage just seemed so fitting bc of just how intelligent he is ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ i rly love taking him out on rides when i'm able to bc he reaaaally enjoys being out in ꒰ non titan infested ꒱ open fields >w<

daisy & juniper , the sister black cats

when i first opened my bakery , there were these two black kittens that i found roaming about near the back of the empty bakery upon my first visit to the building after purchasing it . thought they were too cute to give up to a shelter , so i decided then & there to take them home with me after i finished mapping out the place . named them juniper and daisy <3

𝙊𝘽𝙀𝙔 𝙈𝙀

meowy , the brown tabby cat | cedar , the orange cat | alice , the black cat

a few months into my stay in the devildom , one morning satan & i were sat outside reading in house of lamentation's lush garden but we heard some soft meowing coming from inside one of the flower bushes & after investigating the sound we found three very small kittens huddled together . obviously we decided to keep them , duh , but it had to be /secretly/ bc lucifer doesn't allow cats in the home anymore after satan went and brought home waaaaay too many in the past T^T so unfortchie they can't be inside HOL for most of the day , but during the night either satan or i smuggle them into our room ꒰ and despite us thinking we've gotten the better of him , luci still knows he just doesn't gaf bc the cats haven't wreaked havoc 😭😭 ꒱

𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏-𝘼𝙋𝙊𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙔𝙋𝙏𝙄𝘾 [ one of the rare instances where in which i don't script in flapjack bc he doesn't need to be going through all of that 😔 ]

lucky , the calico cat

i came across the sweetest calico during a supply run with jean , he already knew what i wanted before i could even turn around to look at him and was immediately not having it ,, but after giving him the most pleading of looks he caved after his initial protests abt how " we can't look after another living being " & " what will he even eat? " LOLLLL funnily enough it was jean who came up with the name lucky ꒰ he said smth along the lines of " the cat's lucky it came across such a feline lover " (ᵕ—ᴗ—) ꒱ & i really did think the term lucky suited him as a name bc it had been so so so long after the beginning of the end and he managed to survive all on his own for that duration of time ꒰ not to mention the score we hit after leading him along with us into the dilapidated store hehe ꒱

Dream life script Google Doc template ✩ pink pixel princess aesthetic

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・。.。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Sharing with everyone a Google Docs template I made to script my dream life 💕

I decorated the doc in a pink princess aesthetic, with animated pixel gifs I’ve had saved on my computer from 2006. I was living in Japan at the time and was obsessed with pixel art. 😍

✩ Dream Life Google Doc Template download ✩

⬆️ The link will make a copy directly to your Google drive.

What to use this for:

Scripting your desired life/dream life, as a void list, as a shifting script.

It’s fairly straightforward, the first page has a general summary of your desired life with umbrella affs to say that cover the entire document. Then there are area of life categories with a gratitude affirmation below each one, with space to write your desires.

A lot of my own script was inspired by the doc from baejin cafe’s perfect life sub. I literally summarized large portions of the affs from there. I removed any of my specific personal desires but left a lot of stuff that is general and fairly universal, to give you ideas or a starting point.

Of course feel free to add, delete, rearrange, customize it to your own liking. The last page has a bunch of extra decorations I made with the gifs if you want to change any of them or copy/paste them elsewhere.

Manifesting Your Dream Life Challenge idea:

Fill out the doc with all your dream life desires.

Pick a few umbrella affs that state you have all your desires already (use the ones above or make your own). Repeat these affs throughout the day, especially right after you wake up and as you’re falling asleep.

Optional: Use tapping or psych-k to reinforce your affs.

Listen to IWIIGI’s Docs Desires sub for at least 30 min everyday

Live in the state of knowing your desires are yours, they’re in the mail on their way to you right now! 💌

I feel so bad, my assignment has turned out to be crap, and it’s in a class I really really care about. And not the “you’re always your worse critic crap” like actual crap. I’ve done better in high school. It’s the first pass so I guess I have time to fix a lot of it but I’m just really sad. I wanted it to go well. Now I have to sit through hours of critique and hate myself because somehow I can’t be good at the one thing I want to be good at
