we talk a lot about “escaping the narrative,” but keep in mind that the frightening thing about escape is the chance you might end up someplace worse.

ok fine maybe i DID come back wrong. what are you going to do about it. kill me? put me back in the ground? after all this effort? all this pain and suffering only to find out bringing me back wasn't worth it after all? you worked so hard. are you going to waste all of that just because im not what you wanted? just because i belong only to myself? are you going to let me pick out my own coffin

Preview of Basilisk, my personal favorite of my risograph comics, and the project all my other recent medieval-inspired art descends from.

Styled after medieval illuminated manuscripts and printed using a custom color palette requiring 5 risograph inks (including metallic gold), Basilisk asks the question: what would drive a teenage girl to create a monster?

Physical copies available here. To brag for a moment--this is my masterwork of riso printing and is even more impressive in person.

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

OCtober 11 - symbolism

ok yeah technically im not doing any kind of OCtober official prompt list but this specific one inspired me to infodump abt my angel coded girlie so we’re here anyway and you’re coming down with me. hand in unlovable hand.

OKAY SO this post is about Featherbreeze from my warriors ocverse StarClan’s Chosen (no relation to the MAProject it’s been called that since 2014)

Detailed Backstory Infodump TM below the cut but the symbolism part! is that she is extremely angel coded. Featherbreeze spends most of the story being a guardian angel type character to Owlgaze and Robinwing (my blorbos of all time forever) by giving them everything that she couldn’t have. And she’s a Fallen Angel in that she gets kicked out of heaven for it. and that she likes going against cat heaven’s rules in general bc medicine cats not being allowed to date is stupid and not being allowed to love a cat from another clan is stupid and people should be able to do whatever they want forever!! so her main deal is using her starclan powers to be d the rules around her personal favorite little guys bc of the injustice she experienced in a similar situation. I love her so bad. here’s some more art as a treat ok bye <3 (the hiii girlie one was made by my bestie and co-writer @rockythebunny13 we love her)

LORE INFODUMP DOWN HERE IF YOU WANT IT ⬇️

so this girlie was medicine cat of her clan (not specifying which one bc baby neon apparently gave her the same prefix as the clan she was in?? And that’s confusing???? we do our best) but could not deny she was bit of a hopeless romantic…she ended up falling Hard for this warrior from another clan named Darkpool and they had a cute little secret forbidden romance. like he would bring her pretty shells and smooth stones and feathers and things he would find on patrol. everything was chill until eventually they were found out and punished for breaking the code and (I can never decide if this is related to the punishment or not) Feather’s tragic death in a raid on her clan 😔

so now our girl Featherbreeze is in starclan and despite it being cat heaven nobody there really…likes her…bc they know what she did technically broke the code so even if she didn’t like. do anything bad enough to get into cat hell they’re still kinda rude about it generally. she spends most of her time watching the living cats like they’re tv lmao. speaking of that- after many many moons she notices two young medicine cats Owlpaw(gaze) and Robinpaw(wing) having some kinda attraction and she sees herself in them. and she’s still really hung up on how unfair it is that she should be punished for literally just kissing a cat from another clan (especially while being a medicine cat what the heck?!) and these two should be able to have what she couldn’t, dammit! so she starts setting into motion a plan to fake a prophecy with her own two hands that will signal to them that it’s ok for them to date they have “starclans blessing” or whatever. and it goes really well! and from that point on she goes out of her way to use her powers to give them their own secluded little dream space so they can have dates and stuff in peace without endangering anyone irl. and their relationship starts really flourishing from these meetings!! even if it does kinda lead to Owl sleeping a lot of the time bc he’d rather hang out in the dream space than like. being a real person. but whatever <3

unfortunately there’s a little snitch (Pebblesplash) who has it out for Feather and gets the word out somehow and that gets the dream meetings shut down and Feather ultimately kicked out of starclan to become a wandering spirit…that sucks….she wanders around for a bit trying to find out if anyone can even see her and tries to contact Owl and Robin but they in fact, cannot. they end up meeting in secret irl since they miss each other and she watches over them still. this eventually leads to Many Problems but that’s a whole other post. tysm for reading please tell me if u did bc im not convinced anyone wants to hear abt it lmao

OCtober day 1 - fav OC

this was a literally impossible choice so I just chose one of my Blorbo OCs that didn't have a lot for the other red star prompts - junko!!! I made them less than a year ago and already they're EXTREMELY important to me - he's kind of a love letter to my younger self and their interests ;w;

OCtober day 6 - past

went with my pathfinder character Curse for this one since I've never actually drawn kit while kit still lived in kit's village - she was kinda a loner for awhile, sticking inside and reading books all the time, and it didn't help that people didn't appreciate her clever tricks she'd make just for them...
