#Post-Apocalypse

[prokopetz]

Some people say that in order to be effective, post-apocalyptic fiction needs to strike a balance between having the cause of the apocalypse reflect contemporary anxieties, and framing that cause in a way that's at least somewhat plausible. These people are cowards. Write that story where the extinction of the human species was caused by overzealous copyright enforcement. You know you want to.

My last illustration for the Wastelands 2023 artbook was titled "Plains". It was inspired by my own childhood experience of riding a bike around in the countryside and being chased by stray dogs.

From the vault: back in 2021, I drew this short comic, Passage, about "a woman searching for something in the post-apocalypse." Made at a pretty rough time in my life, as you can tell. I never before posted it to tumblr before, so here it is now.

I thought it would be nice to draw her more often. And, if these are the times when it is time to save the angel, the weapons will most likely be assembled from all sorts of things. That's why Non's weapon looks so strange

Writing update!

Bound to Ashes is available as a Google Doc (ask for .pdf) for general readers. I'm not after much feedback except general vibes and if you caught any stray typos.

It's 95k words (that's roughly 380 novel pages) written in 1st person present-tense, character-driven, post-apocalyptic science fiction set in a speculative alternate future. If you're interested in themes of survival, learning how to trust, and existing in a world that feels like it wasn't made for you, then you might enjoy it! I would content rate it for older teens and up.

From here, I'll take some more feedback into account and make any teeny-tiny edits I have to, then it's on to figuring out a nice free way to distribute an eBook.

Aaand the second beachlot is done. Unfortunately, it crashes pretty soon after turning on neighbors.

This is how the hood looks now.

As you can see from above, only two more normal lots are missing. I will build an additional secret vacation lot somewhere in the mountains.

After building all the lots, I will start to furnish some of them and turn them into (hopefully!) usable lots.

Mad Max TTRPG

Are you a fan of Mad Max: Fury Road? You might like this TTRPG.

9th Level Games is kick-starting a brutal, post-apocalyptic game based on the Thunder Road: Vendetta board game. The rules use 9th Level Game's Polymorph system, which attaches each character class to a different multi-sided dice, making your characters feel uniquely powerful. Back it early, and you get access to a player-facing Driver's manual!

Them: This novel subverts the reactionary tropes of the post-apocalyptic genre and shows how people would truly come together to support each other in the wake of a global catastrophe!

Me: Is it a crypto-primitivist fantasy that explicitly cites the destruction of all post-Iron Age technology and infrastructure as a required step in perfecting human civilisation?

Them:

Them: Not necessarily.

Hollywood and google totally-not-embezzling billions of advertising cash while still being unable to inform the populace of the existence of a Disney film when Japan had all this shit was figured out in the 1980s:

As the kids would abbreve: SMH

To be fair, having to sell a beverage called "Pocari Sweat" means thinking outside the box, but "Cindy Crawford doing sword exercises on Eternia with the assistance of some sort of drink-dispensing rabbit-Snarf is thinking so far outside the box you're pondering the orb.

Wait... is that a Pocari?

Is that its sweat?

Cindy I wouldn't-

Eh, I'm sure its fine.

The hood so far. It needs one more End-of-Road-Lot and two Beachlots.
