The Music We Made Together: Five Years Later - PREORDERS OPEN

It’s been five years since the last chapter of Soul Eater was officially published in the Shonen GanGan Monthly magazine.

That’s why I chose today to open preorders on the SoulxMaka zine!

First: check out our awesome contributors! They are named according to either the preferred name they listed on their signup form or their most common screenname, but their pages are linked below.

* Nori-Wings * Andi * TheAlchemeister * Reikiwie * Marsh * Rounove * Nova * Sahdah * Ash * Inno * Vor * Rin * VictoriaPyrrhi * KD Foxx * Rosikichan *  wightjakc * Nyl0n06 * Guadalupe * Soul * Jenna Merry * Nikowl * Aozul * Baph * nayght-tsuki * Peregrine * Kit * Nikki * Kara Jayne * Odette * Ollie * Tilliquoi * Amy * Rogha *

* If he could narrow the hundreds of wishes he has down to a single one— one that he would ask on every candle and dark tunnel— he thinks he would wish for courage. (Marsh) * This time, she’s the one blushing. He can feel it rather than see it, a soothing warmth in his core that lights him from the inside out. (Chloe) * “Thaaaat’s going to be a no,” Stein says. “There’s no way I’m sending you back when you’ve still got stitches in.” “You still have stitches in,” Maka mutters under her breath, and next to her, Soul’s grip loosens on the jar as he chokes back a laugh. (VictoriaPyrrhi) * Maka couldn’t see Soul’s face, but his breath was hot on her cheek. Beads of sweat had collected on her forehead and threatened to slide down her face. (TheAlchemeister) * She couldn’t have known how one answer, spoken in stumbling tongues while Mama’s goodbye and Papa’s late night tears buzzed in the back of her mind, would unmake so many doors she now desperately wishes to open. (skadventuretime) * Soul with his family is a tomato in a bowl of apples–close in shape and colour and classification, but wrong in some undeniable way. (Mae Snapdragon [maebethistime on ao3]) * Intimacy with Maka looks like that sometimes, like something unsure and taboo, and he’s not sure what to think of it. There’s nothing more platonic than cooking for his best friend while she sits at the table and tests the temperature of the bubbling footbath by dipping her toes in, recounting how her bad day had started off by both her heel and her patience breaking as she fought the wind for control of her umbrella. Rubbing her feet shouldn’t be interrupted by accidental kicks and nervous explanations that she’s ticklish and, ‘Soul your hands are too callousy for my calves.’ (redphlox) * “Tell me who to fight and I’ll do it!” John snorted. “You’re tiny, Alex.” “I’ll bite their legs then.” (WrongDecision) * “These five boys made luxury, drugs and women their pride. They’re that kind of rapper you’d never see in a movie such as Straight Outta Cemetery, Wild Stele or even 8 Miles to Die…” “They’re so ridiculous, you could probably see them in Cool as Death,” Soul interrupted, speaking in a mocking tone. (Ray Jackson) * It’s not a lullaby, it’s nothing like a lullaby - Maka is too fierce for such a thing to represent her soul - no. It is fast and clear, with high, strong notes that speak determination, intelligence, beauty, strength. Yet there is a light undertone, something of empathy, something of compassion. (Professor Maka) * It’s hard to stay upset with Maka when they’ve lived together for so long - even if he can’t read her soul, he still knows her habits and flaws, and Maka is still Maka, even if she’s a little contrary sometimes. (makapedia) * “You know, I used to wish that I’d been born right.” — Even Maka has trouble remembering things sometimes. Luckily, Soul is there to help. (Whinnie) * ***** …And more! There are other participants who, for one reason or another, wanted to remain anonymous! Also, we could still get more signups.

This book is a work in progress. As such, an exact page count can’t be calculated right now. However, I am estimating that we will surpass 50 pages.

We have a couple of different bundles. The simplest option? Order just the zine. This version will cost $12.50, plus shipping.

Please note: the real file for the cover design is not a tumblr-ravaged jpeg.

If you’re interested in getting more stuff, consider the Collector’s Bundle! It comes with the zine, plus a clear acrylic charm, a fancier linen-textured bookmark, 4 unique stickers, a magnet, and a mini-print (not yet pictured). This bundle costs $24.50, plus shipping.

>Click HERE to preorder!<

If this zine makes back more than the cost of manufacturing and shipping, the extra money will go to ImmigrationEquality (ImmigrationEquality.org). This zine is not a for-profit project. After the end of preorders, a summary of costs and earnings will be posted so everyone knows where their money has gone.

I don’t understand where on my body to keep these feelings I might grow a new tooth for each of them and then afterwards tie them to the doorway with red string and have someone pull the door closed

“You keep these kids ignorant and then suddenly they’re in a situation that they don’t even have the words for and they have no idea what to do,” she says. “They’re not taught how to ask for consent, how to give consent, how to revoke consent and stop mid-way through. They don’t know to use protection or to demand it if it’s absent, they don’t know this will spread STIs and pregnancy. They don’t know it’s not supposed to hurt. Can you believe that? So, so, so many people think that sex is supposed to hurt the partner with a vagina when they have sex for the first time. They think that’s just the way it is, that’s just how it goes. *That* is obscene to me. Enforced ignorance that inevitably results in physical and emotional damage, *that’s* obscenity.”

Rich Goldstein asked me what I consider to be obscene in his article on my work,

People are so concerned with suffering in the meat and dairy industries but I never hear anyone mention that meat is literally dead animal. On what level is that possibly nourishing? What makes people think something DEAD is good for you? Not even just physically but emotionally and spiritually. You’re eating death. No wonder our society is so fucked up if we can’t even realize this one simple thing.

growing up finding girls attractive without registering it as attraction sucks because you basically end up weirdly fixated on them but also super insecure and competitive

Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’ — of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind.
