i have to finish my cool epic comic job deadline first before i can make fanart for it but i need to say this right now. i finished the standalone novel "the spear cuts through water" by simon jimenez last friday and i'm still crazy about it. like i fear it's already my favorite book of 2025 and it's only january.

my fellow fantasy metafiction fans GET ON THIS!!!!!*

*if you can handle it! it's an adult epic fantasy with very graphic violence. cws: gore, domestic (familial) abuse, torture, cannibalism, body horror, ableism, probably more...

———————————————————————————————————————-

It was all a blur.

Seven months ago, you were sitting in your history class as usual, doodling on the sides of your notes as Ms. Schevick blabbed on and on. There was nothing in particular that really stuck with you. That is, until she brought up a familiar name - Awá, a formerly worshipped God of Forgiveness who fell from the heavens after the Massacre of Innocence.

From then on, that name burned in your mind. Every moment you spent thinking about what could’ve happened, headaches were suddenly normalized to you after the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with you. You ransacked the library (and Google) trying to find any information on Awá, but alas, there were none. Your little sister would get worried everytime you came out of your bedroom, all disheveled and sleep deprived. Your once vivid dreams ceased to exist. Worst of all, your memories are distorting and you can’t remember things that were true to you.

Which brings us to today, when in the cursed early hours of the morning, you woke up in a cold sweat. Taking deep breathes, you realize that you had a dream, a vision of some sorts. A vision with Awá and the words coming from their mouth,

“Who shall weep for the sinners?”

Customize and play as an inattentive eighteen year old - from gender to looks, it’s all up to you!

Try to survive high school and life as snobby teachers, a worried parent, your sister’s weird classroom bullies, and a deadbeat counselor are thrown at you.

Find out why Awá fell from the heavens, the meaning of their words, and what on earth that has to do with you.

Experience young love (or just chill) with either your best friend, your picture perfect crush-since-six-years-ago, or the new kid in your grade.

Make a decision at the end of the journey that could determine the very fates of everyone around.

☎️ YOU — the seeker and the search

Description: A student trying to live life as normally as possible. Unfortunately, fate is a fickle thing, especially for you. You don’t really have a straight, dedicated purpose of life, at least, that’s what you think.

Reputation: You’re practically a nobody. The teachers are too conceited to even be concerned by what you do.

🎷 NATALIE (she/they) — the grounded sword-bearer

Description: A young girl who is confident and aspired enough to try to get to the top of her grade. She’s your sister, but with the way that she acts, many people aren’t convinced you two are closely related. She has weird, geeky interests and a personality that draws others near.

Reputation: So far, you’ve heard she’s a band kid and a few people have talked about her campaigns during school. She’s a tad bit popular and managed to get close to her English teacher, Mr. Chen.

Playlist / Pinterest

🔎 OLIVER AUCLAIRE (they/them) — the cat entwined with curiosity

Description: An enby who recently transfered to your school. It’s a little bit questioning considering there clearly was a better school in the area, but they seem very fascinated and intrigued by every little thing. Often times, there’s a spark in their eyes as they experience new things.

Reputation: Fresh meat. Everyone in their classes know of them.

Playlist / Pinterest

🏆 AXEL MARTINEZ (he/him) — the comforter of the fearing

Description: A boy practically next door. He’s very warm and holds nothing against anyone. He’s also sort of competitive and would never, ever back down from a challenge. There would never be a day where people wouldn’t find you and him seperated, but sometimes it feels very…. strange.

Reputation: He has a good reputation, known by some of the boys in sports teams as just a general volunteer who’d crack a joke every once in a while.

Playlist / Pinterest

🗡️ MOIRA JOYCE SAMPAYA (she/her) - the epitomy of pure perfection

Description: A girl whose perfect. Okay, that may be an overstatement, but she certainly has it all - the looks, the personality, the mannerisms and gestures, everything. She is very understanding and likes to compliment people for personal things she notices over time. She’s been your crush since six years ago, but you may as well be just like all the others.

Reputation: She’s an idol. You see her around, constantly swarmed by her girlfriends or new students. A busy student, indeed, with a promising future - she managed to gain the positive attention of all of her teachers.

🕊️ AWÁ (any/all) - the wielder of mercy

Description: A fallen God.

Reputation: What reputation is there to have when you have lost yourself in time?

At the fall festival, Anthon invites a girl he met online. Her name is Diwa!

still refusing to render sprites because my brain only cares abt full illustrations now - but either way, here's Venison! finally got around to doing their garments and chibis properly

here's their old stuff if you wanna look at it!

Venison is the former leader of Spina Venatores - a mercenary group working under Manus Vindictae that are tasked with erasing people from history through any methods possible, ensuring that their name is TRULY gone from everyone's minds and mouths to continue causing "Storms" by fucking with history

it also doubles as the one place for Arcana to send all the Manus members that are MUCH too troublesome and volatile to keep close, but much too useful to get rid of. Venison and the rest of Spina Venatores are introduced in their own event, "Underbelly of the Unforgiven" where all main characters are related in one way or another to arcanists Vertin has met, to really drive home how she can't save everyone and how some people, instead of being sifted out by the storm, will fall victim to Manus Vindictae

I imagine Venison later shows up on the main story to try and make up for their failures during the event, but Arcana abandons them to their luck on account of now being useless to her - so they go a little deranged about it and attempt to side with the Foundation instead, but Vertin shows up like HEY. HEY DONT DO THAT, CONSIDER ENTERING MY SUITCASE INSTEAD

so the Venison in the pictures above is the much, much, much more calm version since they're actually getting some good exposure therapy to healthy mindsets in that suitcase <3

maybe it's to maintain a sense of tension & turmoil that would eventually reach an explosive peak, a sense of tug-of-war, a back-and-forth to hammer home the ideals they want to deliver and for the viewers to chew on, but although these arguments regarding hiroshi & his stance as a man torn between his loyalty for his country & the loyalty for his Filipino friends and lover is of course important, how they write these scenes & the points they present from this week alone is getting too repetitive...? literally the argument scenes from last night & tonight between adelina & hiroshi is basically the same; the ideas were the same, the dynamics were the same: the aggressive, radical adelina, bristling rage and fear over the injustices she's seen thus far, and the cautious, inspiriting hiroshi, all hopefulness and reassurance one moment as a lover, defensiveness and sternness as a japanese soldier in another. this debate will be ever-present ofc, it is one of the series' biggest conflicts, but it is unfortunately so easy to tell when it is a.) being pulled up as a main topic to move the plot along / be a necessary conflict for character development/introspection / be the conflict to deliver the morals & messages the writers want to send to their viewers, or b.) when it is being pulled up only for the drama and filler to pass the time. like watching the characters sit down to argue for 10 minutes, do other things for the plot for 2 minutes, then sit down again to argue for the next 20 minutes. lol.
