Ban-Banned

As the janitor of the facility you sometimes clean up the cells where they kept the creatures. You never paid them attention until one started talking back to you.

As the janitor of the facility you sometimes clean up the cells where they kept the creatures. You never paid them attention. You were more interested in going in, doing your job, and then going home at the end of the day just to case in your paycheck at the end of the week. You didn't care what these scientists are doing and it wasn't any of your business so you just kept your head where it belonged and just did what you were paid to do, which was to clean. But that made it hard to do when THOSE things started to be shoved into their cells. They always made messes. Mostly tossing around objects, breaking things, and leaking whatever it was that green ooze was.

You thought you heard the scientists call it givanium or something along those lines but you never bothered to pay too much attention to it. You were only paid to clean around here and nothing else. Which included going into those cells when the scientists took out their experiments and getting them cleaned up before they put the creatures back inside. On one such day it was business as usual. One of the scientists (Doctor Weaverly you think) brought out one of those creatures, the one that looked like a giant frog thing and you were tasked with cleaning out his cell before he came back. It wasn't too bad. At least this creature didn't leave a trail behind it like that snail thing did. It was a quick job wheeling your cart over and beginning the familiar process of sweeping, mopping, and then taking your spray bottle and cloth to start wiping at the giant reinforced window looking into the cell. Your boss's always stressed to you the importance of making sure these windows were clean at all times to allow the scientists and security clear view of the creatures. You were just wiping at the glass when you heard it for the first time.

"Hey. You."

You paused before looking around the cell. No one was in here with you.

"Look across the hall."

You looked through the window at the other side of the hall and nearly passed out from what you looked at eye to eye. A red humanoid creature was staring at you from the cell just across from you, one hand pressed against the glass and dark eyes blinking at you. You stared at it stunned and...Were those party hats on it's head?? It knocked lightly on the glass making you jump and drop the cloth in your hand.

"Can you tell me what time it is?"

You stared at it stunned before looking away. "It's near noon."

That's it. That's all you said. Keeping to your rule of do not engage and ignoring it in favor of finishing wiping the window. It didn't say anything else but you felt it watching you the entire time before you finished cleaning the other side of the window and walked away quickly just as they were bringing the frog thing back. One of your coworkers must've noticed your spooked look because he laughed.

"So you met Banban?"

You ended up looking at him. "Banban?...What the heck is that?"

He gestured back down the hallway you came from. "The red thing down there. I heard one of the head docs themselves donated his own DNA for it. Can you believe that? That's just asking for trouble."

You again said nothing as you just carted off. It wasn't any of your business anyways. The next time it spoke to you, you were again just doing your job three weeks later. In fact you had forgotten mostly about it since you really didn't bother to think about it often. It was none of your business after all. Leaving your push bucket nearby and just mopping up the givanium slime trail that snail thing left behind as they took it out of it's cell for some reason. It was disgusting and one of the least things you wanted to do. 

"You don't look like you're having fun." You again jumped and looked up at the cell you were passing. The red thing was again looking at you from the window. It tilted it's head at your startled face. "Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. I just couldn't help but notice your expression."

You blinked before just going back to dunk your mop back into the water and plopping it back onto the floor. "Well you try cleaning up this gunk every time that snail goes through here."

"I take it that you don't like it?"

"What do you think?"

"....I see you down through here a lot. A lot more than some of my coworkers really." Coworkers?? Was that what he was calling his fellow monsters?? "You're doing a good job taking care of all of the experiments."

"Yeah? At least someone seems to appreciates the work I do." You rolled your eyes at this.

"I know there's lots of janitors in the facility considering how large it is, but you're the only one I've seen who comes down here." 

"No one else wants to." You scrubbed a little harder at the slime trail. The thing's cell was even harder to clean up with all the slime built up in there but of course you had to be the one to clean it up. "*Sigh* Don't understand why I couldn't have just gotten a job upstairs cleaning the kitchen or play center."

"Do you want a transfer? Not sure if that's in my power but I'll definitely look into getting you a raise for all the underappreciated work you do."

That actually had you snorting and looking back at him. "Oh yeah? And how are you going to do that?"

"I'm surprised that you didn't recognize me. I should be very recognizable..." He shrugged. "Then again I suppose we haven't met face to face before have we?"

"No. No we haven't." You stopped mopping a moment to look at him with a smile of amusement. "But I was told your name by someone."

"Oh?" He also sounded a bit amused tilting it's head further at you. "Then who am I?"

"You're Banban aren't you?" To your surprise the thing sighed and shook its head.

"Is that what everyone's still calling me? No, no. That's not it but if it makes it easier for you then I guess you can call me that. And what's your name?"

"Y/n. It's Y/n." You rose a brow. "If Banban isn't your name though then what is it?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure what to make of my situation now yet so I'm afraid I have to keep that between myself and a select few coworkers. But if you want to you may call me Adam."

"Adam and Banban?...You sure have a few strange selections in names."

Again the thing shrugged. "It's complicated. I'll speak to Doctor Weaverly about getting you that raise but I highly suggest you don't tell anyone about our talks. It's unprofessional. Don't worry. I won't mention anything about our conversation."

You shrugged. "I didn't plan on it."

You went back to cleaning the snail's mess down the hall as he watched from his own window. You felt a bit better than before. From then there was a few times you both would talk. Sometimes it was only a sentence. Usually a question about something or what time or day it was. Sometimes you two would have full conversations about random things although mostly it was sciency stuff you didn't understand although you wondered where he learnt it from. Although he never spoke when someone else was around. You supposed he wanted to keep your talks a secret for his own reasons. Fine by you. You didn't see any reason to tell anyone about your conversations.

"You're a very beautiful woman Y/n."

You paused in the middle of cleaning a window next to his cell, blinked, and then looked at him. "What?"

He only tilted his head. "You heard me. When I finally get things sorted out, maybe we can grab a coffee sometime."

Wait. Was an inhuman experiment hitting on you? And asking you out for coffee?? The absurdity of it all had you laughing a bit before chuckling and shaking your head.

"I'm flattered but I don't think it'd work out between us."

He again shrugged. "Can't blame a man for trying."

You were amused and in a better mood for the rest of the day. Despite how strange it was. But soon things got...strange. All of a sudden Banban just stopped talking to you and interacting all together. It was strange. His cell was reinforced. More guards were patrolling down here more than usual. And security cameras were installed where they previously weren't. And people were acting a little more on edge. What was going on here?  Perhaps being just a janitor the classified Intel of what was happening didn't need to be told about this but you still felt unnerved by it all. However you would have one more encounter with Banban before danger struck. You were pushing your cart again past his cell to clean up the now unoccupied cell of that purple kangaroo thing that went missing.

"Y/n." You jumped as a hand suddenly pressed against the window of Banban's cell hard enough to make a sound and rattling the glass a bit. He stared at you with a look that made a shiver run down your spine. "Do NOT come to work tomorrow."

His hand slid down the glass before he backed away without a single word to explain what he meant by that although the warning made a shudder run through you. It stuck with you and..you didn't tell anyone about it. Why would you? It'd only get you in trouble possibly? Besides tomorrow was your day off anyways. It's not like taking a day off work would really be a burden to anyone especially if you already had the day off. Although the way he looked at you stuck in your mind.

It wasn't until the you saw the disappearance of the kindergarten on the news did that sinking feeling had you fainting.

2023 & Me

Been thinking a lot these past few days about everything that's happened with me in 2023. Hard to believe it's coming to end--time seriously does fly 😮

There's been some heavy losses this year. Several family members passed away to illnesses and old age, including my grandfather who I had a strained relationship with to say the least. I also had a shocking family drama bomb dropped on me earlier this month that has had a huge ripple effect I'm still navigating, but fingers crossed things will find a way of working out for the best.

I had some severe mental health depression episodes throughout the year, made me reevaluate priorities and also doubt pretty much every choice I've ever made in life, but I do truly believe I'm entering 2024 in a positive mindset so that's something to be happy about :) I'mma try this crazy concept called self-love and not think the worst about me, myself, and I.

My writing took a hit this year. Word count wise, kudos wise, engagement wise--but I also made progress on several wips and even finished a few which is a big accomplishment for a snail writer like me 😊 I want to enter 2024 not feeling guilty for being self-indulgent or trying new kinds of writing styles. I also want to shake off the belief a low note count equals it was a bad fic/waste of time -- I don't believe that for anyone else, yet my brain always uses it as a weapon of insecurity against myself and enough is enough brain 😠 no more I say!

On a more positive note, I was fortunate enough to attend several conventions this year and improve my cosplay skills (2024 Ahsoka is gonna be my best look yet I just know it 😁). I got to meet total sweethearts Jon Bernthal and Charlie Cox, Steve Burns my childhood hero, the dear Jodi Benson, the gorgeous Rosario Dawson and beautiful Ming-Na Wen, and of course I can't ever forget Andrew Garfield 😱💗 And most importantly of all I did each these cons with my sister and made some lifelong memories! (Also bought a heckin lot of stickers. A heckin lot 🥰)

And then of course the crown jewel of 2023 1000% hands down was attending the United States Formula 1 Grand Prix. Good lord y'all it was one of the best weekends of my entire life! If you had asked me a couple years ago if I'd care about a sport--any sport--I'd have laughed in your face but there's just something so addictive and captivating about the world of F1 and its cast of characters. And having the luck of getting Alex Albon and Daniel Ricciardo's autographs on my dumb lil frog bucket hat was just *muffled screaming* I literally was a shaking mess lemme tell ya--just ask @beecastle and @undercoverpena who were there with me on my phone every step of the way 💜 thanks for putting up with my addiction y'all! Much much love to you both!!

AND THE FRIGGIN FACT SOMEONE GOT A PHOTO OF ME AND DANNY TOGETHER 🥺😭😭 NEVER BE OVER IT NOPE

There are so many people on here that made 2023 a bright and kind and fun one for me---@oonajaeadira @something-tofightfor @wheresarizona @trinkets01 @kyberblade @sofasoap @grogusmum @writeforfandoms @psychedelic-ink @kteague @prolix-yuy @wildemaven @the-blind-assassin-12 @practicalghost @gnpwdrnwhiskey @bishtrouille @nothoughtsjustmeds @kirsteng42 @miraclesabound @radiowallet @harriedandharassed @hopeamarsu and dozens dozens dozens more!

Thank you to everyone who's liked, reblogged, commented on my blog + sent me messages! I appreciate and love you all so much more than words can ever express 💜💗💙🧡

2024---let's bring it on! 🥳

Series Masterlist

A/N: If anyone doesn't like the fact that the oc is black, go away.

I was sitting on the porch rolling my eyes as Cory and Shawn were in the backyard, collecting snails. I had tried telling them that it was just a play by Mr. Feeny but as usual, they didn't listen to me. Mr. Feeny was standing behind me looking over at the two boys.

Alan came out into the backyard looking for his son. "Hey, guys. Hmm, collecting snails?" I looked over at the boys, before I continued drawing the flowers.

Cory looked up at his father proudly. "Yeah, Mr. Feeny said we could take 'em off his flowers and use 'em for bait for when we all go fishing Sunday."

Alan looked at our teacher. "Fish don't eat snails."

Mr. Feeny chuckled. "Gee, I guess I was mistaken." I almost fell off the porch, rolling in a fit of laughter. I'm not sure why I found it so funny but to me it was hilarious. Shawn came over and lifted up my sketchbook. Looking down at the flowers he was just sitting in front of and looking back at me, he smiled. I couldn't wait to go fishing with him and Cory. Just a day to be stupid with those two sounded amazing.

"Well, whenever you guys get ready, the bass master here is all set to pass on to the younger generation some of the finer points of spin casting." Alan said to the three of us.

"Manipulating young and impressionable minds. I hope you're proud of yourself, Mr. Feeny." Cory looked up at our teacher with his hands on his hips.

"Indeed I am, Mr. Matthews." Mr. Feeny smiled and turned away from us.

"Come on, guys. Now, the main thing to remember is that basically, it's a simple flick of the wrist." Alan said as we hopped the fence. Well technically, they boys hopped the fence, I was lifted over it. I swear I must've weighed the same as a dust bunny. "You open the bail, hold the line with your finger, and then it's two o' clock, ten o' clock; two o' clock, ten o' clock; two o' clock, ten o' clock..." the hook swung over his head behind.

"Kind of a "quarter after three" thing you got going on there, Dad, huh?"

Mr. Feeny approached the fence. "May a, ah, fellow angler try his luck?"

Alan looked over at the older man, "Be my guest, George." He said, handing the fishing rod to him.

I watched as Mr. Feeny mutters softly before he casts perfectly into a bucket. "It's like getting back on a bicycle. One never forgets." He smiled, content with himself.

Cory looked up at him. "Mr. Feeny, you fish?"

Mr. Feeny nodded. "Oh, sure, I'm an old bass hog from way back. I'll never forget that September morn. 1956. I was after smallmouth bass on the Louisiana delta." I listened so intently. This sounded like such a brilliant story.

Alan didn't seem to think so though. "Sounds fascinating, George." He says sarcastically.

Mr. Feeny didn't seem to catch the disinterest as he went on, much to my pleasure. "Spanish moss hanging down, and the cypress knees jutting up through the brackish water of the bayou..."

Alan tried again. "Sounds fascinating, George." Mr. Feeny stopped and I pouted. I'll have to ask him about it later.

"Dad, how come Eric's not coming with us this year?" Cory asked his father suddenly. I looked over at the curly haired boy.

"Well, your brother's discovered girls. He can't sit still. When you're Eric's age and you can't sit still, I'll take Morgan. It's the endless cycle of fishing." Alan explained.

"Have you tried explaining to Eric that he could take girls fishing with him, Mr. Matthews?" I asked. He smiled at me, I wasn't sure why.

"Not for the activities he wants no. It's the unfortunate part of having children. The boys grow up and can't sit still. The girls...well I don't know yet because Morgan loves ponies, point is after he," he pointed to Cory "loses his mind and obsesses over girls, I'll have Morgan."

"And what about after Morgan?" Cory asked.

Alan shrugged. "Well, then, I'll just be some guy in a fishing hat with a lot of boring stories." He looked over at Mr. Feeny and put his hand over his heart.

"Did you just scare yourself, Dad?" Cory asked.

"Oh, yes, I think I did." He answered sitting down.

I put my head down as I mumbled "I liked the story." To which Shawn carried me over to the bench and handed me my sketchbook. I noticed that he'd continued drawing the flowers. More specifically, he added details to the petals and leaves. He was looking over my shoulder as I continued drawing the grass and tiny bugs.

"Dad, if you're not taking Eric because he's obsessed with girls, why are we taking Shawn?" Cory asked his dad which caused Shawn and I to look over at the two Matthews men. I shrugged and went back to drawing.

+=+=+=+=+

That Sunday, I was woken up by a very smiley Jefferson clutching my bag. "Get your butt out of bed!" He shook me slightly.

"You seem too eager to get me out of the house." I said into my pillow.

"Girl, get up before I call your boyfriend and tell him you're not going!" He threatened.

"Blackmail!" I screamed before finally getting up. "And stop calling Shawn my boyfriend!"

"Well your non boyfriend is going to be here for breakfast soon so...Up!" I crawled out of bed and went to brush my teeth. Jefferson had taken up styling my hair when his wife and daughter weren't here. I think he's doing a great job. When he was done he stepped back and looked at me. "There she is! Now...say it loud." He held up his hand in a closed fist.

I repeated the gesture. "Say it proud."

When he crossed his arms over his chest he said "Say it together."

I again copied the gesture. "Wakanda Forever." We say in unison. Then I hustled to get dressed.

I liked that Jefferson was as much of a nerd as I was.

Once I was dressed, I headed downstairs with a smile. The table was being set and just before I could take my seat the bell rang. "I'LL GET IT!" I opened the door and pulled Shawn in. Jefferson rolled his eyes before he placed the plates on the table.

"So, what kind of stuff do you put on your pancakes, Blue Eyes?"

"Maple syrup, please" He replied as he took off his shoes. We ate together. Jokingly shoving his fork towards me and making faces to get me to laugh, Jefferson was fun with us too. It was all fun and games until Jefferson got a work call.

I know that Jefferson travelled for work. That broke me every time. What made matters worse was that Rachelle and Brianna had taken Jazmyne and Tamara on a 'field trip' but I was too young to go and Brianna was adamant that Adam wasn't allowed to watch me 'unsupervised'.

Jefferson made the face and I knew. "I'll ask if I could stay with the Matthews family." I look down at my breakfast. Noticing the fall of my smile, Shawn slid his last pancake onto my plate.

"Thanks, Shawnie." I smiled.

"No problem, Sunshine!" He smiled back and continued eating.

+=+=+=+=+

Shawn was carrying my bag to the Matthews house. I had told him not to but he insisted. We stood at the door waiting for someone to answer, Shawn kept bumping his elbowing me in the back, not for any real reason but just to be playful.

"Hello guys!" Mrs. Matthews said, opening the door to let us in.

"Hi, Mrs. Matthews. Did Jefferson call you?" I asked, removing my shoes. She nodded and watched as Shawn took a seat on the sofa.

"You're free to stay the night." I smiled.

+=+=+=+=+

I was exhausted after my afternoon of fishing. It was fun but sitting in the sun all day can really wipe you out.

Walking into the backyard, I came to a halt when I saw Eric kissing a girl on Mr. Feeny's side of the fence.

Alan stood awkwardly behind his eldest son. "Nice night, huh?"

Eric turned slowly to his father with a grim look on his face. "Yeah."

Alan turned to Shawn and I. "Well, we're just, uh, passin' through."

"Good. Pass." Eric said, trying to get us out of the backyard.

Shawn being the goofball he is, went up and teased Eric. "Eric, the Lipmaster!" He said, elbowing the teenager. I rolled my eyes and followed him towards the house.

"Yeah, sure. Look, anybody else, or are we all done here?" Eric screamed into the air.

Cory then poked his head out of his treehouse. "Everyone have a great day without me?"

I'm pretty sure we were all surprised to see him. "How long have you been up there?" Eric asked, accusingly pointing at his brother.

"Long enough to watch you swap spit with a Feeny." Cory whined as he climbed out of his treehouse.

"Well, I'd say the mood is sufficiently killed, wouldn't you?" Eric turned to the girl.

"Dead and buried." She replied. She looked over at us and I waved at her. I'm not really sure why.

"I think my little sister is busy tomorrow, so, looks like it's just you and me." Eric shrugged, trying to be nonchalant and failing miserably.

"I'll bring the pen. Good night... everyone!" She waved to the rest of us before she walked into Mr. Feeny's house.

"She's related to Feeny?" Alan asked, in shock I presume.

Eric nodded proudly, "Niece" to which his father nodded "Nice" in reply. Why were they so focused on what she looked like as a Feeny? I don't look like my mom or my dad and they were both very good looking people in my opinion.

"Nice? She's beautiful. I mean, that's the most incredible girl I ever kissed." Eric bellowed. I chuckled.

"Which puts her at the top of a list of, what? Two?" I looked up at the oldest son as I said it. He glared at me which told me I got him. But he smiled as he lifted me up and started walking towards the house.

"Look, making out is not a spectator sport." He said to the rest of the boys in the backyard. They all applauded him. Eric turned and continued to the house. He still hadn't put me down.

"Guys, I'm getting kidnapped!" I screamed as Eric took me into the living room. My sleeping bag was already on the floor when he put me down.

"Alright, Birdie. What's the best part about sleepovers at your best friend's house?" Eric asked as he put me down. His hands were on his hips as Morgan came in to play with her tea set.

I shrugged. "Sleeping on the couch?" I answered apprehensively.

"You need to get out more. No, the best part is making forts to sleep in." The teenager answered. He's nuts.

"You want to make a pillow fort for Cory, Shawn and my sleepover?" I looked up at him.

"Yes. Yes I would." Eric nodded quickly, before Morgan came over.

"Can I help?" I smiled at her.

"Sure thing, Weasel." Eric picked her up and ran upstairs for blankets and pillows.

+=+=+=+=+

That night, after much negotiating with his parents, Cory was lying beside my little fort. Shawn was on the opposite side of it. I had braided my hair and wrapped the scarf around it, cocooned myself in my sleeping bag and was about to fall asleep when I heard the boys moving.

"Cory. Is she asleep?" Shawn asked. I pretended to be.

"Why don't you check?" The curly haired boy grunted as the TV became white noise.

"Fine." Shawn shifted around before peeking his head between the pillows. I kept a straight face as he looked down on me. I must've been a convincing actress because he turned around and put something next to my head.

He laid back down and I opened my eyes to see an adorable little stuffed bear with a purple bow sitting on top of a piece of paper. I smiled at it before I put my head down.

"You guys are so gross." Cory whined.

"Shut up. No we're not!" Shawn mumbled.

"You're acting like a married couple. Gross." Cory explained.

"She's my best friend, Cory." Shawn's voice came out muffled by his pillow.

"No, no, no! I'm your best friend. Tomorrow you're going to go to my mom and ask her to make Raven's favourite breakfast and call her Sunshine." Cory sounded triumphant.

"She is Sunshine. She's still my best friend though." And it all faded as I finally fell asleep.

+=+=+=+=+

After breakfast, we were sitting on Cory's bed as he and Shawn stared at Cory's new baseball card.

"Cal Ripken, Junior – rookie year. I never thought I'd actually get to hold one of these things." Shawn stared at the card in awe.

"My grandma picked it up at this swap meet for seven bucks." Cory smiled happily. Shawn looked at him like he was crazy.

"Seven bucks in dog years. This baby's worth a hundred and fifty, easy."

Cory looked at him in shock. "It is?"

"Are we just going to ignore the fact that Shawn just did mental math?...Well not really but still." I was looking between both boys. But they ignored me.

"Yeah. Boy, your grandma must really love you." Shawn said. I flopped down on the bed holding my new bear. I named it Morrigan.

"Yeah. Or else she shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." I looked over at him, checking to see if either of them would catch that reference.

"You're kidding, right?" Poor Shawn. He looked so scared.

"I'm not sure." Cory looked down at the card with a little bit of fear too.

"It's Johnny Cash." They both looked at me weirdly.

"But I Shot A Man In Reno Just To Watch Him Die. When I Hear That Whistle Blowin' I Hang My Head And Cry. I Bet There's Rich Folks Eatin' In A Fancy Dining Car. They're Prob'ly Drinkin' Coffee And Smokin' Big Cigars, But I Know I Had It Comin', I Know I Can't Be Free, But Those People Keep A-Movin', And That's What Tortures Me." I sang.

"Cool." Cory said when I finished. He has warped interests.

[iamdarcylewis]

Totally necessary stuff, merry Christmas Josh! -Darcy

A cute bucket hat with the anatomy of Chick, in case he forgot about that beautiful angel, gorgeous dog. And of course, a snail soap dispenser because having their hands clean was so important for the daily life. A guitar cheese grater to go along with the fun peelers he has, and a word clock so he always knows wha time it is and he's not late.

Hey do you remember that era of tumblr when everything was snails?? And people would make posts like "Snumblr (snail tumblr)". That was absolutely rad. I think we should go back to that era. But we should never go back to the supernatural takeover era.

Favourite candy?

Not sure, I don't like candy very much but sour worms are slay

Describe your favorite shirt.

I have this snail shirt, that is wearing a bucket hat and looks very high. The shirt's fabric is grey with a worn-like material; it's a very loose fit so I love it!

The last thing you drew/doodled was...

hmm idk I don't draw much, probably some random flower in a textbook from university :)

Are you completely sober rn?

Yeah

Dishonesty

Have you ever gotten your tongue stuck to a cold pole during winter?

Nope, I'm from Australia, and the state I'm from does get fucking cold but not to that point?? LOL

Hello! It's only been a day but the reception to this has been awe inspiring to me as an artist. Its been absolutely lovely hearing everyone's thoughts and perspectives, how this has helped them through bouts of grief, all that good stuff.

I wanted to make a bigger post under this to point out some little fun details I worked in and some of my thought process behind decisions I've made in it, and a few things some people have picked up on elsewhere that I thought was super cool!

Before I start though, I wanna say: If you've seen this on Tiktok, 99% chance that was NOT me. A popular account has reposted my work and didn't properly ask if I was okay with that. My only Tiktok account is "GoodBuddyRuby", and beyond that I'm "RubyRKGK" practically everywhere. You can check my Carrd in the original post for more info on that.

The Balance Bucket

This isn't my favorite page but it has some of my favorite details

Obviously there's Martin, Jake, the Finn Sword, and Finn's arm. A loss of people he loves, a feeling of loss spiritually, and a feeling of loss physically. But I wanted to talk about the Snail and flame. Someone rightfully pointed out the Snail's relation to the Lich, but I was also thinking of it as a symbol of manipulation or malice in important figures in Finns life. This can range from the manipulative way Martin has treated him, to finding out Billy was the Lich, or any other greater act of manipulation toward him.

The flame is a lot more interesting to me personally because the likely response was "Flame Princess", which is partly true.

The flame was generally meant to represent romance, but more in the sense of something Finn can't express. Finn, to me, doesn't seem like the kind of person who can reasonably hold a healthy, steadfast romantic relationship. Beyond his brotherly love of Jake, Finn's love of others stems from heroism and friendship. In parallel to Martin, Finn seems to slip up when he lets romance get the best of him, and it does seem to be the far healthier for him to obscure it than to burst. You can see this in just how lowkey and unspoken his relationship with Huntress is at the end of the series. I figured this was an interesting part of his person, and something he'd find deep inner turmoil over.

The Haircut

This is one of the best pieces I've ever done, and words can't express how proud I was of it.

A few cool details: The colours in this page are very deliberate. The yellow of Finn's hair was meant to contrast a lot of the blue in a metaphorical way, with blue acting as a symbol of forgetting or miseries of the past, and the yellow as inevitability. The blue forget-me-nots line the path of his hair, yet the entire page is caked in a golden yellow light.

The catalyst comet in the top right follows this trend, being a bright golden yellow, and acting as the incoming symbol of what was destined to happen between Finn and Jake. Not a literal event, but metaphorical.

The three stars hidden in the skies near the end are meant to be Margaret, Joshua, and Jermaine. Finn mentions hearing their voices in the wind, meant to be a literal nod to the fact people can contact outside the dead worlds, yet Jake chooses not to. The stars line up with the way Billy contacts Finn in the ocean.

Quick bonus, here's a version of the page prior to a quick change made to stay in line with a change in the comic. Finn was originally gonna keep the hat on. Very glad that changed.

Composition

This one is far more subtle, but the layout of the comic itself was meant to mirror the inner feelings of Prismo and Finn

Originally, it starts out extremely closed off and bordered. They're trapped within these small boxes, mirroring the Time Room very literally. That obviously changes later in the comic.

In this panel the borders fall away as the tension loosens a bit. Prismo's body is stretched far more than normal, forming the border of the page. Literally stretching himself thin trying to entertain Finn's wants in the relationship.

Later on there's next to no panels at all. The relationship between them has become completely open and vulnerable, and there's almost no walls between what they can say or think.

Time

This is a little more obvious. Not only is time a major theme in the show alongside grief, but Finn finishes Prismo's "-Time" in reference to the way Jake does call in response to "What time is it" in the show. I meant to have an extra page establishing as well that Finn visits the Time Room specifically to sit OUTSIDE of time as well, a bad coping mechanism to escape the pains of the passage of time.

Finn's Outfit

This one is super short and fun. Finn's outfit in the comic is notably not really taken from any existing outfit adult Finn wears, rather loosely on this vision from Season 2.

Teal shirt, sports tape on the arm and leg, robotic arm, gem on the knee, belt. Obviously some things were cut out just for the sake of design, but I thought it was super fun! It also helped his overall pallet stand out in the context of the Time Room.

That's about all I have! Again, thank you so much to everyone who's taken their time to share their thoughts and feelings on what I've done here. I couldn't be more proud to have helped so many people, and that's definitely not the last you'll see of this style of writing, whether that's AT related or not. Peace!!

Balance and Barbers

After the death of Jake, Finn makes routine trips to Prismo's Time Room, to try and spark up a bromance that never was.

(Hi, me again. And after spending an embarrassingly long time figuring out what teleportation would be like, here’s what I got.)

You’re all ready? Okay then off we go!

Everything around Janus and Logan begins to warp and distort, and colours brighten and swirl as the world begins to shift. Gravity seems to give out and for just a second they are both weightless. They float for a second suspended in the air as their surroundings shift around them before they are suddenly pulled of to the side, crashing through the wall and into another dimension entirely.

The dimension known as the Void is unsurprisingly black as far as the eyes can see broken up by flashes of light and a kaleidoscope of swirling colours. There are a great many sounds. Crashes, bangs, screams, a hauntingly beautiful violin and many more all blend together in a terrifying cacophony of noise. The Void muffling the sound and giving the effect of being underwater.

A high pitched ringing fills their ears as they are pulled through at a rapid pace unable to take a breath. Occasionally catching glimpses of some familiar faces amongst the various eldritch abominations that inhabit the Void as they fly by.

A blue featureless ghost throwing cups at what appears to be floating targets.

A demon like entity with large pointed horns wreathed in shadow that almost completely obscured them with an army of plushies.

A pink otherworldly snail with eyes all over his shell in a small fancy top hat conversing with a group of tiny snails about plans to increase their numbers.

All of a sudden they are thrust out of the Void and onto the pavement were ,after getting their bearings, they found themselves outside the Natural History Museum in London.

Well here we are I’ve already bought you tickets and here’s a guidebook of you want to take a look at the sights and… oh dear are you all right, your looking a little green. Here’s a bucket if you need it. I know Void travel can be a bit nauseating for those who aren’t used to it. Just let me know when you’re ready to go.

Glow Eyes

Janus was holding onto his boyfriend like a shaking chihuahua. He thankfully took your bucket and hugged onto it while closing his eyes tightly to try and stop the dizzyness.

Logan had a calm smile on his lips as he took the guidebook and immediately started eyeing the information. He let out a light sigh as he rolled his shoulders back.

"that teleportation reminded me of when Patty used to drive me back in the day before I got my license. How pleasant"

"What kind of fucking car rides-" Janus' words trailed off as they also got busy looking at the information "Darling if we get time over we can go vandalise Margaret Thatcher's grave and then try to steal the crown jewels"

"Sounds like a great plan deary"
