doing my first call of the day from a DG parking lot because we needed ice so so so desperately

I don't want to work today. I'm tired and my ankle hurts and I have a migraine and I want to sit in a heap, not spend all day on calls T.T

As a kid, I was really upset that Bill Watterson wouldn't license Calvin & Hobbes so I could have plushies or so there would be a Saturday morning cartoon. Now, I realize his resistance is the reason we don't have a Calvin & Hobbes DreamWorks movie starring Chris Pratt.

For context the WIP idea I had is set when RK is twenty-two, about twelve years after this happens. Also, she has bitten Hermes before.

If there was one thing Naomi had figured out about RK, it was that she was calm.

RK literally had the best reaction to coming to camp than anyone Naomi had seen. The older girl was polite and quiet, barely making a ruffle in anyone's feathers. Of course, feathers were still ruffled, Rome did not have the best relationship with Neptune, but RK handled it with grace.

So the instant reaction of biting Lord Mercury was a surprise.

"Get her off!" The god was trying to pull his hand away from RK's mouth, green eyes wide with panic. "Get off- why is this always your first reaction when you're mad at someone?!"

"C'mon, RK!" Levi frantically pleaded. Naomi and a commander (Fenix?) tried to help Mercury by yanking RK back. Based on the visible gold she could see, nobody was doing a very good job of separating them. "Let go! He probably doesn't taste very good!"

"Yes, yes, I agree!"

"Please, RK, let go!" Naomi paused in her pleas at a strange feeling under her hands.

Was RK...trembling?

Before she could ask, RK stumbled back. Levi had somehow reached in and managed to yank her teeth out of the god's flesh. Naomi steadied her friend, meeting her wide blue eyes. "Are you-"

"I'm not sorry," RK practically snarled, her gold-splattered jaw trembling despite the ferocity of her words. She wasn't looking at her. Instead, she was staring straight at the god she had just buried her teeth in. "I'm not sorry."

Mercury straightened, holding his hand. There was a nasty-looking full bitemark on his flesh, golden ichor slowly leaking out. However, he didn't look angry.

He looked concerned.

"I know you aren't."

I love video essays

Pantser! I don't even write outlines these days really I just dive into a zero draft with a dream and a prayer.

I write mostly fantasy! I enjoy writing about the fae, vampires, and royalty, so these themes are usually in my writing lol

Love me a good morally grey female protagonist. I love writing black girl protagonists as well!

I write both romance and found family pretty evenly. They both mean a lot to me!! Not all of my wips have romance, but the ones that don't always have some sort of family theme

Love doing in-depth worldbuilding. I don't love writing it down, which just means I spam my friends with info LOL

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025! Please make a comic! It’s mandatory that you create some piece of sequential art — what it is and how you make it is up to you! Have fun! You might as well!

If you make a comic (again, it’s mandatory) and you want to share it, post it on the tag #makeaterriblecomicday2025! Or don’t, I’m not a cop.

Remember, the goal is to make something terrible! So if you can’t draw or have never made a comic, or if it’s been ages since you made something just for fun — that’s perfect! You’re all set! If you fuck up and make something that’s NOT terrible… well, some might say there’s joy in that too.

Ok stop reading this and go make something!!!

Plot

Seth was supposed to be a healer. That's what everyone said she would be. She would become a healer and fight in the war for the Goddess of Time. But her healing doesn't work like it's supposed to. Instead of giving life, she takes it away. People say she eats souls.

She tries to live a quiet life in the countryside, away from the war, but is rudely interrupted when Theo, a lost demigoddess, wanders into her life. Together, they try to find a place for themselves and their strange magic in this world. But war is never kind, and the Goddess of Time wants her daughter's power on her side - and she won't let some pesky healer get in her way.

Characters

Seth: a girl with terrifying powers who just wants a quiet life in a small town, alone, but learns to be happy after finding Theo. She was expelled from the hospital she was apprenticing for a failed healing that killed the patient and permanently damaged her leg in the process.

Theo: a powerful demigoddess whose magic is making her soul slowly wither away. Her adoptive family sent the Order after her after discovering her unusual powers and ends up finding Seth on her journey. Through her Goddess-Mother's influence, she becomes consumed by the war.

Flick: a teenager touched by the Goddess of Love, whose body houses two conflicting souls. They are cursed to have anyone they meet fall in love with them, and Seth takes them under her wing while on their journey to find themself.

Jane: a sort of puppet created by the Goddess of Time to replace Theo after her death, delivered to Seth when the Goddess couldn't stand her anymore. She's in the mortal world for the first time and trying to figure out who she wants to be.

The Goddess of Time: Theo and Jane's mother. By far the most ruthless - and broken - among her sisters. She lives in her Garden in the plane of the gods, where she takes her daughters to shape them into her champions.

Notes on the setting

everything in this world has a soul, or life force, which can be transferred by those with the right magical inclination

usually, healers can only direct the "souls" from themselves to other in order to heal them, and when their soul runs out, they die - it is the ultimate sacrifice and a healer's greatest honour, to surrender their very souls to their Goddess

there are three Sister Goddesses, each representing a core aspect of humanity, waging war against each other to see who is more powerful (I expand upon it here)

certain types of powerful magic can cause your soul to start eating itself if not kept in check, as is Theo's case

Edit: you can follow the development of Seth and Theo's relationship in the tag #the great Seth and Theo relationship liveblog
