Hey guys !! I know I'm making an object show, but I also have another project I've been working on since I started high school. (I started in 2020 and graduated in 2023.) It's a graphic novel Slice-of-life emotional drama.

Lyle Springs takes place in the fictional desert town of Lyle Springs, Nevada, between the years of 2011 to 2017. It follows 6 teens from the start of their freshman year of high school, to their graduation.

The first main character, who is kind of leading the story in the beginning, is Thomas. He's a trans guy who's had a rough start. I won't go into too much detail, but Thomas Aguiar was born into a family with a loving, but helpless mother, and a narcissistic father who wanted a perfect family. When Thomas, born Tegan Aguiar, a girl, bravely came out as trans at the age of 10, the abuse started. Thomas grew up in a violent household, made to feel like everything he did was wrong. At 12, he was thrown into the foster care system after his mother disappeared. Now, at 15, he lives with his adoptive mother Eveline, her biological daughter Abby, and his own biological younger sister Tamera. He suffers from PTSD, Depression and an ED. He's considered stubborn and cold by some, and struggles a lot with his identity and self image.

Abby Herrera is the biological daughter of Eveline Herrera, who had given birth to Abby at the young age of 15, and was disowned by her biological family and beaten by her own mother. Eveline is a single mother, as Abby's father, her high school boyfriend, left her quickly after he found out Ev was pregnant. Abby was a hyper and "difficult" child, who turned out to have ADHD, and when Abby was in 4th grade, Eveline decided to put her into a sport, to help with some of her energy- soccer. It ended up being a special interest of Abby's, and now at 14, she still plays soccer on weekends on a team at the local park. She also plays for the school volleyball team, and runs track on the school track team at 5 am 3 days a week. She is a lesbian.

James Jacob Clarke, a.k.a J.J, is an autistic teen boy, who, soon after meeting Thomas, develops a "little" crush on him. The two first meet briefly on their first day of school when, after an older boy starts picking on J.J because his dinosaur backpack is "baby-ish", Thomas steps in to defend him, and gets his bag back after the older boy snatched it from J.J.

J.J. grew up in a household with an older brother, Jackson, and a single mother, Lola.

Jackson "Jackie" Clarke was born with a genetic condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, or Rod Cone Dystrophy, which caused him to go blind by age 11. He knew from a young age that he would go blind, but it was never guaranteed when that would happen, so it was scary for Jackson not knowing when he'd lose his sight, or how quickly it would happen, there was just waiting. Painful waiting.

J.J and Jackson had a father, Herbert Clarke. He was a well-meaning man, but he wanted tough boys, and ran a tight ship. J.J was just three when his dad passed,and doesn't remember much of what his dad was like, except for the better things. He mostly grew up with the perception that his dad was something of a saint. Jackson, however, who was six when he died, remembers a little more of their dad, and how harsh he could be.

When J.J would have meltdowns, Herbert would throw him onto the couch, throw himself onto the young boy and restrain him, because he'd heard on the internet that this would help his autistic meltdowns.

This did not help. In fact, it was a large source of trauma for J.J while he was little, the feeling of an almost two hundred seventy pound, adult man placing himself on top of a tiny sixty-pound, 1 year old boy, having the air squeezed out of him and being told that dad will only get off of him when he stops screaming and thrashing. Of course, now, J.J doesn't remember any of this as he's blocked it out. All he remembered was the bedtime stories his father would lovingly tell, and the lullaby he'd sing to both boys.

Jackson remembered the prone restraint, as well as how his father would treat him. Jackson was often clumsy, confused and sometimes his father would ask him to go look for something, and Jackson wouldn't be able to find it, which would piss his father off since he'd think Jackson was just being stubborn and not looking hard enough. Herbert was harsh on Jackson, thinking he was weak, lazy and stubborn. Then he would turn around and try to make it up to his boys with gifts or other things to make things good again. He wouldn't admit that he was a bad father or doing anything that would hurt his boys.

As to how their father died, Herbert died of a liver problem that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

For now, Jackson lets J.J believe their father is the saint he remembers him to be, but he knows one day, they'll have to talk about all the things that really happened in the past.

For now, with J.J at 14 and Jackson at 17, the boys live in a sort of cruddy area of town with their mother, walking to school because their mother was always working to keep a somewhat decent roof over their heads. Through a fundraiser, the family managed to adopt a guide dog for Jackson the year before J.J started highschool, which was one thing that helped his depression quite a bit, and Rebel the dog quickly became a companion to him.

Tabitha James is the cousin and best friend of J.J and Jackson. She and her two little brothers, Noah and Leo James, were born through IVF, to two mothers, Lilith James-Clarke and Taeryn James.

Lilith is the twin sister to J.J and Jackson's mother Lola, and the kids grew up together as best friends, and the three often hang out together at school, as they don't really have many other friends due to people ridiculing them for their differences, as Tabitha is also autistic. The cousins are considered outcasts at school, and keep to themselves.

Tabitha, even at a young age loved Gothic and alternative fashion. She was often made fun of for her strange clothing choices by the other kids in elementary school, although she didn't realize she was being teased until later on. It never really bothered her until middle school, when things got worse. She still loves the fashion, and often dresses in a scene kid style, and carries around a hello kitty bag. She also loves furbys and owns three.

Micaela Olsenn is a trans women born to a single father, Rueben Olsenn, who is autistic. Rue ended up being a teen dad after he was pressured into sex by a popular girl at a party. He's never told anyone because he doesn't like to relive the moment, and he doesn't believe his experience is valid. Micaela grew up pretty close with her dad, playing video games with him. When Micaela came out as trans at 9, Rueben was a bit confused at first but supported her fully. The two don't always communicate well, but they try to get along.

Micaela was severely bullied by the other kids in grade school, and even suffered several injuries when it became physical, causing her to develop PTSD, and Anxiety. On top of this, she also has Body Dysmorphia and an ED.

Micaela was childhood friends with Tabitha, up until she moved to a different town in Nevada, to get away from the bullying and have a fresh start at a new school. In freshman year, she moves back to Lyle Springs, and quickly reconnects with Tabitha, and possibly develops a little crush on her in the process- not that Mic would admit it.

... that's all I can tell you about the few main characters so far that get introduced right in the beginning, if you wanna know more, you'll have to stay tuned, and maybe give what I have of the book written so far a read! /nf/pos/gen

We also have a server with some more fun stuff which you can join if you want to become a fan and keep up with the progression of this and all my projects! (Most of the stuff is read-only currently, but if enough people have joined then maybe ill add a general chat.)
