i hate when in fantasy stories they always put kids in dangerous situations cause thats Just The Way The World Works™ or whatever (it makes sense sometimes but like really? none of the adults made any effort to baby proof the prophecy??)
gildamore is not like that. gildamore academy greatly values and takes great measures to ensure the safety of its students, who are required to learn about the world and its dangers before being sent out into it.
of course, this doesnt stop aeryth and lav, but at least the adults around them try to keep them from meeting a fate they didnt know to put on the maps >:(

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴‍☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too

I don't know if this is my curse, but I CANNOT write a standalone. Every time I come up with a simple idea, it bursts into a trilogy. Can I be simple for once in my damn life?

lookit lookit i added some mini mood boards
Tumblr media
Still Shine the Stars Intro
the title for this actually comes from a poem i wrote just for this story so you can check that out if you want to read it
For context, I'm a young transmasc middle class person living in America in the big 2025. That's pretty much why this wip exists. No kings. Fuck donald dump
I'm taking a little break from Fairfable to introduce the newest addition to my rotation of main wips (listed in my pinned post if u wanna check those out wink wink)
This is gonna be a series of five graphic novels—one for each of the main characters. There's—you guessed it—found family, and they bond through overthrowing the government. I think the story's fun, considering the honestly depressing source material. It's also got symbolism if you're into that. It's been finding its way into my writing a lot recently (my desire for easter eggs has breached containment and now it makes me google everything I write to see what it symbolizes and every time without fail it somehow works and it even gives me ideas sometimes)
I still have to get the scene outlines and stuff together and also get better at drawing in general. When I say this is a new wip I mean I heard Beatrix's voice shrieking in my head just this past January and ran with it for like a month and now here I am once again feeling lost but now and then sorry that just popped into my head I'm gonna talk about the little people in my head now
Tumblr media
Characters
i did not draw them yet TvT (feel free to yell at me to draw them because i have a history of saying i will draw my characters and then proceeding to not draw my characters. drawing these guys is kinda important cause thats lowkey the point of the medium im using. i really just wanna get this out there tho)
Beatrix (she/her)
Beatrix was doing great until a pair of masked strangers broke into her bedroom in the middle of the night. VERY RUDELY mind you. And, on top of that, they had the nerve to kidnap her. Not that she could blame them—as the king's niece, she was pretty valuable—but she'd never thought anyone would actually do something like this.
Fortunately, she's not hurt. And, as it turns out, the idiots don't have any backup. Beatrix is confident that the authorities will locate and apprehend her captors soon enough.
Until she discovers that Kyren and Silas have reasons for what they're doing, and the world is a whole different picture than the one she's been taught to see. No one is coming to save her. Her uncle is the king of nothing more than broken glass. And if she doesn't do anything about it, she'll be nothing but his niece.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kyren (he/him)
With so many people searching for a way out, it's not exactly commonplace to see someone so eager to get in. Not that Kyren was exactly an outsider—he was just raised for duty, not survival. But duty always tended to take precedence over giving a shit, and Kyren had too much elf blood in him to let that slide.
People can't put food on the table. Children are dying. Duty is nothing compared to the struggles of everyone the king ignores. The world has become an amalgamation of systems twisted into a web of prejudice and exploitation.
Kyren's only duty now is to burn it down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas (he/him)
Silas was born and raised in the overcrowded, sprawling city of Winnexfort, heart of the empire and home of the king. Despite having been born into a pretty low-class family, Silas managed to not have an entirely terrible time living there. He always had a way with people—he liked them and they liked him. He may or may not have used that to get out of tough spots, but he really did care about them.
When Kyren showed up, Silas saw an opportunity to give a better life to the people he'd known all his life. So he left. And now they've kidnapped a very indignant Beatrix Brighton, and Silas thinks that maybe they're finally getting somewhere.
Where? Hopefully somewhere good. How? He's got no clue. But good people can be as commonplace as the sterweed that grows in every neglected patch of dirt—if only you know where to look.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Madge (she/her)
Life's been shit since before anything Madge can remember. She may as well be shit, too—she practically lives in it anyway. A life spent stealing food and picking dull lonely coins up out of the dust tends to make you pretty grateful for what little you can get.
But then one day a trio of strangers appears in the Cardsbury slums, promising real resistance against the king and a better life for everyone. Madge figures a life on the run can't be too much different than one on the streets. At least she'll be doing something productive instead of just stealing her daily bread and hiding from patrols.
Life or death. Freedom or tyranny. Heads or tails. The odds aren't looking too good, but this little band of rebels may have a chance to change something.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elodia (she/her)
Don't worry about the rebels, Your Highness. They're harmless against your father's power. You're untouchable. That was what everyone always told Elodia. But, if it was true, how do they explain what happened to Beatrix?
As much as she's been trained to ignore it, Elodia can't deny that unrest has been steadily growing—she can see it in the mutterings of the court ladies and in the knowing looks of all the servants. And now in the mystery of a charming stranger who definitely shouldn't be at the state gala.
When she seizes her chance to finally see what's really going on, she's met with a movement that's been years in the making. A new era is dawning, and Elodia suddenly finds herself right in the middle of it. And she wouldn't rather be anywhere else in the world.

Content/Trigger Warnings
america is shit, so this world is shit too. just like with my other wips, if there is any problem with the way this series approaches any serious topics or if there are any important details it's missing in its depiction of them, let me know. im always here to learn
violence (including blood)
violence from law enforcement
death (from sickness, neglect, murder, unjust execution, and all the other ways people die in shitty countries that dont care about the people)
sexism (misogyny)
harsh prison conditions
weaponized religion
kidnapping
foul language
Tumblr media
Conclusion
As always, my asks are open and my comment section sparse, if not bare. Please tell me what you think. I beg of you. I'm more than willing to listen to you yap in return if you want. Just pleasseeee humor me 🙏🙏 I desperately want feedback

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

Still Shine the Stars - the poem
Blind the eye that sees the free
Shatter lens through which you see
Learn the things witheld by class
King of naught but broken glass
Older now, you know the truth
Through it anger carries you
Brutal tyrant wears the crown
Fallen angel burns it down
Only common, maybe wise
Understanding in your eyes
Though some can only see the black
Sterweed grows in every crack
It beats you down, it breaks your will
Though it may cripple, never kill
Change your worth, be more than sales
We will wager, heads or tails
Whispers from the painted faces
Reaching into darker places
Bring them out where light shines on
Building toward the coming dawn
The night is long, so end it should
You are change and you are good
This land is dark, its reign like scars
Yet in the night, still shine the stars
– The Jester
Tumblr media

theyve given our knees enough slapping to deserve revenge, havent they?
I feel bad for jokes having punchlines.. The joke can't be that bad, why are we beating it up for it??

in the chronicles of narnia they have a human stomach and a horse stomach and they are independent of each other and both need to be fed
im pretty sure that was actually a joke like a centaur just had a full dinner with all the other people who eat human food but then he had to eat hay right after to appease the horse stomach
Do centaurs have two digestive systems? Or just one really really long one?
