I just feel personally attacked that Omelas is suddenly a talking point in this website, AND NONE OF YOU HAVE READ THE SCHOLOMANCE.

SO.

A really talented friend of mine (@jaidethalagorra) has been writing out posts and seperate installments of explaining her own original universe. (which I have had the pleasure of helping with some emblem designs.) But. the amount of detail is insane. like. shes thought about it down to how the individual engines work.

Anyways. I have decided to make a masterlist of all the posts so I can refrence them.

(list under the cut)

The General universe. Incredibly interesting and holy shit WHAT. (Intro)

The weapons and tech are. so incredibly detailed. i want to like. figure everything out and make a whole lot of really aesthetically pleasing illustrations. (I cannot draw backgrounds) Anyways. (Tech breakdown) (Weapons breakdown)

The V'trassi. I have a lot to say about them. Space ant colony but like-- 10x more scary and intimidating. (Vtrassi overview) (V'trassi design) (V'trassi species) (V'trassi ship BLUEPRINTS) (V'trassi command ship BLUEPRINTS)

the trb plot from memory instead of chemistry revision that desperately needs doinh

We begin with psychics. They do not tell precise futures, not usually anyway. They aim for the nonspecific, unless your name is Blue (named after your aura), in which case, ever reading been done for you is very positively conclusive: one day, she will kiss her true love, and he will die. A semi-famous and semi-aunt of Blue’s shows up.

It’s an unimportant April day, Blue is wearing her most sensible fingerless gloves, and Neeve is creepy. Blue has been dragged along because she is made of magic, and she makes other magic stronger. She informs Neeve rather curtly that she does not go to Aglioby, because that is for the sons of Oil Barons and other assholes. The ghosts begin walking. Jesse Dittley. A boy in an Aglioby sweater- it’s damp, and Blue can see him. We all know what that means. Gansey, that’s all there is.

The Pig is broken, Gansey is on the side of the road listening to his silly tapes. He knows he is going to die this year, though we don’t know that he knows that he is going to die until book four. He phones Ronan, who oddly picks up. Rescue time. There is a burger, no sauce. Adam Parrish, a lowly mechanic, Ronan who is pissyabout his dashing older brother, something about Ashley. Gansey makes his own sly remarks. Adam is the only useful person, fixes Gansey’s. at temporarily, suggests a psychic.

Hmm. Hmm, Hmm, Hmm. WHELK that turd. His parents did him a solid and named him Barrington, as if that would give him a single advantage in life. Now here he is, stuck as a teacher, no money, no prospects. And, he’s going to beat up some kids.

This one is an Adam chapter because he was absolutely insane. He’s the love of my life. No one does it like him. He’s at Monmouth, I think. Ronan still plays tennis, allegedly, and Declan Lynch (regular Tumm’s consumer) pops by, for some reason needing to introduce the newest Ashley to the only thing that resembles a family. Oh that has just turned sad. Gansey is Gansey, there is no investment in living in a dorm, Noah has cold hands, and for some reason Ashley knows who Glendower is. Adam is getting some spidey-senses. It’s pizza time.

Pizza time! Back to Blue. I can’t believe how much of this I’m remembering. President Cell Phone. He’s tapped in her shoulder- big no-no. He wants her to talk to his friend. The one who is bright red and not looking at her. Blue Sargent is not a prostitute and jesus christ Aglionby boys are miserable. A pretentious notebook is left behind.

Now things are rocky. I haven’t read this book in ages. Wait, I know! Scratch the book thing. Declan is just looking for a fight, and Ronan is throwing trash cans in trees! Typical. Declan looks like lobster tonight. The cops won’t be called tonight… At what point does Blue give Adam her number? Dangerous thing that is.

I have forgot something... 'Hey Tiger'. Adam won’t leave with Gansey for good, but he will leave for psychic stuff. Adam has a dog. He asks Blue if his bruise makes him look tough, Ronan answers because he is an expert in what Adam Parrish looks like (don’t tell anyone though). I think this is where this bit comes in. Time is a circle anyway.

The boys are at the psychics house. Ronan and Calla are awful to each other. The ladies will not help Gansey. Blue, who has read his diary and wants to make her own future, did not agree. She’s chased them down. It’s time for a helicopter.

Adam Parrish hates flying and Ronan Lynch is always straight. Gansey is his mothers gift, and Helen thought glassware would be a good gift, even though Mrs. Gansey doesn’t collect glassware. Get it together Helen. 'Hey that looks weird, stop here! It’ll only be a few minutes!'

Magic forest! Fish change colors, the seasons are strange here, and the trees speak broken Latin. Make way for the Raven King? My memory is poor. It’s beautiful anyhow. The water runs uphill, Gansey wishes he could pee in the same manly way that Adam does. Clocks stop working. Either they were in there for hours and came out and it was minutes or the other way round. Noah is there more.

Gansey looks at a windowsill. There is a wasp. Ronan, with perfect timing, leaves his room, kills it, gets rightfully angry at Gansey being a dunce, and then storms off back to his room. He’s building a ramp with Noah? Noah gets thrown out of the window at some point. Possibly now?

Neeve does creepy weird things. Calla and Blue do some super spy work. Does Adam get involved? Also, she is looking for a particular squash, one I am not fond of. Ronan teaches Adam how to drive.

Ronan is failing school. Gansey thinks the school might want some aqua-nautical fiction. Ronan wants to not go to school ever again. I am feeling that same way right now. I should be studying for my exam!

Wait what? You're telling me that the boy who no one knows anything about, who's never in any classes, who is always cold, doesnt eat, and introduces himself with 'ive been dead for seven years' has ACTUALLY BEEN DEAD FOR SEVEN YEARS????

Adam has a shitty dad who does shitty things. Fuck him. Ronan drops him off. Wait, he is swinging! Throw those punches! Wee woo, the cops are getting called. For the first time ever, Adam tells the truth. Ronan, feeling some sort of way, actually goes to go study. Adam’s hearing is half as good as before, and now he’s living in the most goddawful frat house that doesn’t have a separate kitchen/bathroom. But he loves it for some reason.

At some point Blue and Adam are talking about kissing and Ronan sits right between them and turns their attention onto his punk ass bird.

Neeve eats crackers in Whelks car. the gang is also there almost. There is a gun. Whelk is free, he’s pointed a gun at Gansey, Ronan starts swinging but his head isn’t harder than a bun, so he crumples. Neeve has disappeared. Adam sacrifices himself, his friends are like ‘wtf Adam’ and then he kills doesn’t save his Latin teacher. Adam is the hands and eyes of Cabeswater. I dont remember if Adam moves to St Agnes in this book. He doesn’t stay at Monmouth more than a week, so he must’ve moved. Ronan figures out hes hella gay for Adam and fucks off to do cool car chases and get high with his other more scary boyfriend.

Blue kinda realises that maybe somehow slightly that she likes Gansey and is of course doomed by the narrative.

i still dont remember the plot of this book

I can behave normally around books

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

Hentai lookin ass Bill.

A couple more "suggestive" drawings under the cut:

I hesitated on posting these last two so much when I was drawing them, but that was like two weeks ago, and now I'm just numb to it. WHO CARES JUST TAKE THIS!!

I alluded to drawing more "suggestive" billford stuff a while back, and ironically, THIS ISN'T EVEN WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT SKJDFGDSH I was talking about something else I was planning on drawing. This just sorta happened.

I hope you like these!! Let me know if you want more.

oh, and the first drawing was originally rotated on its side, but I decided I liked it flipped around. That's why his coat is up like that. That's gravity babey!!!!
