Well, after many months- I'm happy to share my (rather ambitious) cover for our Final Fantasy Ladies zine: Lucia Sidera. I still can't believe the team trusted me with such an important cover. I decided to be insane and try and draw every main gal from each title and spin off (I ran out of time, so I didn't get everyone sadly). The mod team was already SO patient with me. I didn't have to do all this- but I legitimately had this vision since 2009 (and there were a LOT less gals back then). You can see from teh initial sketch layout, how many character were originally planned- but then...I went off the rails. (note, the first image is the poster version, and second is book variant)

Final Fantasy is kinda my life, let's be real- as corny as it sounds. It has been with me most of my time here on Earth. It set me upon the path I'm on now. I wouldn't be Allison without these characters, the music, the art, the stories. I won't mush too much, but this, to me, was a very special opportunity to show just how much I love this series. Getting to share that with other people in this community, whose life has been deeply touched by Final Fantasy meant a lot to me- and I hope people find there faves in this cover!

I have the remaining folded posters from the zine bundles coming in the mail, but will also be offering this as a 11x17 print soon! So much detail means it won't be coming in smaller sizes, apologies!

Anyway, it would be all too easy for me to talk about this cover and my thoughts overall but I suppose it's not overly necessary- it can speak for itself I guess! I hope you like it :)

look. i view the doctor as asexual but the implication that he’s had kinky handcuff-escape sex with houdini is a bit funny so i’ll accept it

Rating all the cabins by how they are as patience on average according to me Will Solace

Cabin 1: 5/10 (I’ve only had Jason as a patient but he is constantly getting concussions to the point I had to make him wear a helmet cause he’d refuse)

Cabin 2: there are no members of cabin 2

Cabin 3: 2/10 (Percy oh my gods stop doing dumb shit and sending armies of people to the infirmary during capture the flag)

Cabin 4: 9/10 (they are great. They listen to me. A lot of the meditation comes from plants so they help a lot)

Cabin 5: 3/10 (not only do they get sent to the infirmary all the time but you also suck as patients cause so many lie about their symptoms to seem tough. Don’t tell me the pain is a 0 out of 10 when I am looking at your broken hand)

Cabin 6: 6/10 (sometimes they are the best patients and listen to me and give me detailed descriptions of their pain and symptoms. Other times they think they know more than me and try to “um actually” me.)

Cabin 7: 1/10 (doctors are the worst patients and that applies here)

Cabin 8: idk I’ve never had a hunter of Artemis patient

Cabin 9: 4/10 (stop doing dumb shit! A lot of injuries from their inventions malfunctioning. Sometimes won’t go to the infirmary until they finish an invention)

Cabin 10: 7/10 (pretty good patients. Sometimes will be annoying or try to flirt/set you up with someone while you are working. But so long as you give them pretty bandages or cast/slings they are fine)

Cabin 11: 6/10 (actually good patients a lot of the time. Help proverbs a lot of the stuff in the infirmary. The Stoll brothers lower the rating though because their pranks send a lot of patients my way)

Cabin 12: 7/10 (good patients surprisingly. Listens very well. Though sometimes struggles to explain their symptoms but they try their best)

Cabin 13: 10/10 (the best patients. So great. They are amazing. I’m not biased what are you talking about)

@crow-collective15 what do y'all think?

I want a satyr to tell me that I am Demigod and that I need to go to camp Half-Blood where they will train me to fight. Once I am there play Capture the flag in the forest, and climb the rock wall with lava flowing down it.
