"Hello Darkness My Old Friend..."

Finishing off this old WIP to motivate myself to finish other projects

[jinxiguess]

hey guys sorry i died for like three months but now im alive again anyway take these

[dianaladrislovebot]

sitting here desperately trying to figure out who the big three of gone is and my brain is flicking between “sam, dekka and brianna” and “caine, drake and diana” before realising realistically, it’s actually albert, quinn and lana 😭 without them, everyone would have either starved to death or bled out

quinn and lana

thoughts after rereading fear

again. again i just think diana's pregnancy being twice as quick as it should is so unnecessary and such a silly plotline

but i love diana starting to integrate with others and wanting redemption and being cared for by others. sam & diana is a friendship i would've liked more of. i love brianna & diana too. and diana taking care of little kids <3

sanjit is just in love with lana and lana taking in his whole family is so adorable

i love astrid's development. but i solidly dislike sam and astrid's relationship by this book. i said i liked them in book 1 this time - and i did - but it just doesn't work anymore

i think drake's misogyny was so silly in this book. him being like 'ugh females!!!!' was so funny because yes we could tell he hates women by the fact that he constantly fantasizes about torturing diana and astrid. why are we spelling it out and making it comical

i enjoy orc's redemption and discovering his faith. i really like that little moment dekka and orc have. + him almost tripping and falling when he discovers that lesbians are in fact a real thing

so brianna is confirmed to be 13 here LMAO her age was definitely retconned?

i always forget howard got killed off because literally no one cared except orc, no one mentioned it, we didn't even really get to see the moment. it's a disappointing and anticlimactic ending for a character that we were shown had a lot more depth than he pretended

the cigar plotline used to scare me so bad when i was young. still horrifying obviously

that being said, penny is just. not a well written character. this is a 12 year old girl with bad self esteem and she was punished for her wrongdoings (less bad wrongdoings than most of caine's btw) with a brutal and horrible death. she caught the worst of the writing's deep rooted misogyny

quinn the character that you are

sam is the kind of aggressive ally who's like 'why didn't you tell me you were gay >:( i would’ve supported you. grrr why' to edilio and wanting to be housemates with his lesbian best friend. one of his funnier traits i would say

astrid and edilio one of my favorite friendships i think

dekka is my beloved i just want to protect her. she deserved better every moment. i love her proudly calling herself a lesbian, to the point where she corrects people who mislabel her. i love her being referred to as the 'antipanic presence' whose energy calms and supports everyone. she is my number one favorite after this reread i think

sam lowkey being protective over caine, like just a tiny little bit, is so funny

diana has been through hell like none of this is okay for a freshly 15 year old girl

[badlydrawngoneseries]

lana has the upper hand by also making a sentence without the letter 'e'

[inkskxtch]

what if GONE had a graphic novel?

I’ve been working on some comic concepts for the first book in the series since like April but i forgot about the project for like two months straight my bad…… anyway its done now!! This was my first time doing comic page stuff so i hope the layout, text etc is alright :3

The amputation scene page was the first one I drew out and I’m still getting adjusted to drawing with a Wacom tablet, which is why the lineart is a little messier on that one compared to the rest jsjskd. I gradually got better with it as I made my way through the other pages :]

Usually I post sketches/lineart/flat colours etc with my art but theres too much to include here in one post - would anyone b interested in it anyway? The sketches are kinda funny

Episode 6 of my GoneTV Scripts

Wow, it's been a while huh. Do people even care anymore? Well, I do, and a special thanks to @abcwordsurge for reading these and reminding me to continue posting them. Seriously all the comments you've been leaving on each one give me life I hope you keep doing it :)

But anyway, I want to definitely keep posting these on here since I'm currently writing scripts for Plague lol (so I'm a bit behind). Anyway, here's episode 6! In this one I had the most fun writing the Lana stuff. Her plot in this first book is *chefs kiss*

[femmehysteria]

I'm doing a series of "Best Character Named X" polls where all the characters have the same first name but are from completely different media, feel free to send in name/charcacter suggestions, I'm posting one poll a day, check my pinned post for active polls

[fallout--alley--youth--zone]

Hey does anyone know when/where Diana was confirmed to be Latine? Same for Lana.

[ghostlyfanparadise]

[willgrahamsnightmares]

lana x cat imagery is my favorite thing ever. she deserved peace and love.

thoughts after rereading plague

my favorite gone series feature!!!

caine and sam both bother me badly. they have the same attitude towards diana/astrid. sam punishes astrid even if he never intended to. while caine expects gratitude that he never forced diana?

i said this last time i reread (these were among my first posts on this blog!! before i drifted into other fandoms) but i love the foils here of astrid and diana both breaking down personas they’d held up for years. astrid realizing she cannot always be good and righteous. diana realizing she doesn’t have to resign herself to evil and hurt.

the way other characters talk about dekka is so jarring. i know bigotry would be real and alive among teenagers who have nothing left to lose. but jesus christ???

despite my issues with sam i love his and dekka’s relationship in this book, i love him holding her hands and telling her he loves her and wanting her to be his roommate. he even says that if he is going to die, it would be an honor to die with dekka. arguably sam was allowed by the flawed writing to have a much higher level of respect and understanding for dekka since they cannot be romantically involved, which is a whole issue itself. but i still enjoy it

jack stepping up and becoming much stronger (not physically), braver, and bolder in this book is nice to see

orc just makes me so sad. i’m glad he turned the page after this book because him wanting to die is upsetting

i always found the bugs plot so unbelievable it’s funny. still my favorite book of the series, but it’s comical. how did they get so big so fast. why do they have human like irises. what

diana could not fix caine 😭

brittney/drake still completely fails to move me as an antagonist it is so boring and annoying to me

i like lana and sanjit. it is nice in a simple way that sanjit has nothing to do except be her sunshine male wife

i said this last time (again) but i’m glad dahra was remembered for her importance in this book. she never had as much focus as mary did in books 1-3 despite being just as valuable and selfless and responsible. i love the scene where virtue prays for her and asks god to let her rest because she has done so much for other people, just because she could

the line ‘what did howard have if he didn’t have orc?’ causes me a lot of feelings

dekka’s trauma plus the fact that she literally never gets to experience reciprocated love breaks my heart i want better for her. so much better
