Well, guys, I’ve done it! Not only am I dealing with spam on Facebook because I got past 1,100 followers, which draws all the scammers, but ALSO, I have suddenly started getting spam on fanfiction.net. I guess I’ve finally made it as a writer.
I wrote the above paragraph yesterday, when my body wasn’t in severe pain and I had high hopes for the productivity I would achieve today. I managed to get everything in order as far as formatting my book goes. Uploaded the final manuscript (which didn’t change other than copyright, dedication, etc.) for all formats on KDP and D2D, and my sister sent me the final covers, so I updated those on all formats/sites, too. I also ordered a proof from D2D (which I am only doing this one time because yikes it’s expensive), which means once I approve that, if no changes need to be made, everything is ready for 09/15/2024! Yaaay!!
Also note that I’m still allowing people to download the ARC, and you don’t have to finish/post your review before the publish date. I just like getting the support and feedback!
I didn’t get as much done on Through the Gate as I wanted, but I am going to do everything I can to get the next chapter posted on Wednesday, 08/28/2024. We’re doing some time jumps to show the highlights of Ed’s stay while they work on a solution to get him home, so it’s not like I can get one idea and run with it for the whole chapter. I’m excited for it though! Especially… October 3rd.
Thanks for reading, guys! I always appreciate the support!

In your opinion, what's the darkest thing in Poptropica?
Oh... wow. You know, some people might be surprised at some of the dark stuff that's happened/implied throughout the franchise. And from such an innocent looking world too :)
I guess I'll make a list of some stuff that stands out to me:
24 Carrot Island 
The 4 children were kidnapped and brainwashed by Dr. Hare probably for months.
Tumblr media
Astro-Knights Island 
Mordred almost died in a crash, and had to replace half of his body with robotics. 
Mordred kidnapped the princess because he wanted to marry her. And her parents most likely thought they were never going to see her again, since they had no way of going after her.
Tumblr media
Counterfeit Island 
It's implied that Black Widow was gonna torture the player in order to get answers. 
Tumblr media
Reality TV Island/Wild Safari Island��
Villains allowed to be on reality tv… and being treated as celebrities... WHAT.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Skullduggery Island 
Captain Crawfish probably killed a lot of people. Cause… pirate.
Tumblr media
Steamworks Island 
The entire backstory of this island: the people were doing experiments on plants, when the plants mutated and tried to kill them. The only way they could survive is by freezing themselves.
Captain Ziggs sacrificed himself to hold off the Plant Monsters. Mayor Crumb must be feeling pretty depressed now that she's free and forced to live without him.
Tumblr media
Red Dragon Island  
The Shogun being a pretty terrifying tyrant. 
Tumblr media
Shrink Ray Island  
POV: you're an elementary school student and your teacher's star pupil. You trust him, because he's a nice teacher. And then he goes crazy and kidnaps you.
Mr. Silva threatens to shrink CJ and the player to the point where they can't be seen by anyone, which is kinda dark honestly. 
Tumblr media
Blimp Adventure 
Dr. Cumulo Nimbus sets fire to the rain to all the islands. 
Tumblr media
Game Show Island  
Robots take over and enslave humanity. 
Tumblr media
Ghost Story Island  
A really depressing murder mystery/ weird love triangle story that involves several character's deaths.
Tumblr media
S.O.S Island  
The ship sinks and everyone inside almost dies. Also a child.
Tumblr media
Vampire's Curse Island  
Count Bram outlives his wife, and goes crazy. And he kidnaps a child due to insanity. 
Cactus von Garlic has killed many vampires. But not all vampires in Poptropica are evil (if Haunted House is any indication). 
Tumblr media
Twisted Thicket Island  
The forest creatures turning into stone. I'm not 100% sure if they're still alive in there or not...
Tumblr media
Poptropolis Games Island
The island sinks back into the ocean, with people still on it. Some of the ancient islanders are waterlogged (but still alive, for some reason).
Tumblr media
Lunar Colony Island (Book)
The PASE workers are oddly sociopathic to Glen John's situation, only caring about Glen helping them. Glen is 13 btw.
Tumblr media
Super Villain Island  
Zeus almost winning. He blew up the world for no reason. Also, there's something really scary about the way he blew up his own island.
Tumblr media
Zomberry Island  
Zombie apocalypse. 
Tumblr media
Virus Hunter Island  
A pandemic almost happened. 
Tumblr media
Monster Carnival Island 
Ringmaster Raven's backstory: Pretty messed up. 
Edgar is an orphan who ran away and joined the carnival. He put a lot of trust in the Ringmaster and seemed pretty happy… and then the Ringmaster hypnotizes him and uses him for his scheme. Pretty messed up. 
Tumblr media
Survival Island 
Myron Van Buren. Enough said.
Tumblr media
Mission Atlantis Island 
The alien was trapped underwater for years and died.
Tumblr media
PoptropiCon Island  
Omegon taking over the convention center, and turning the people into Hench-Bots.
Tumblr media
Arabian Nights Island 
Scheherazade attempted to steal the player's soul… what the heck.
Tumblr media
Graphic Novels
The kids almost died… several times. (A Saber tooth tiger and polar bear almost maul them, they almost fall to their deaths, they almost freeze to death, they are almost stabbed to death by Lieutenant Rogers, they almost got erased from history on the Ancient Egypt Island, they almost burned alive in a volcano eruption, etc)
The ancient Egyptians are erased from one timeline, and a bunch of people on earth died... and it's unknown if they were brought back, or what.
When Spencer Albright is murdered, Jonas is so overcome with grief that he completely loses it and becomes murderous like Octavian. Jonas is 18-20 btw.
The backstories for the main characters (Octavian is forced to let Paulla die, Mya's mom abruptly dies and she goes through depression, Oliver’s dad walks out on the family).
Octavian's fate at the end is this: he accidentally jumped through the portal before the universe he wanted to go to fully formed. Because of this, he jumped into the in-between point of universes, and was split into an infinite amount of versions of himself. Sounds complicated, but is incredibly messed up.
Mya was seriously considering leaving her own timeline, even though she would be leaving her family and friends behind. Whether or not she knew this is unknown, but if she did... kinda messed up.

And… that's it. No more dark things that stick out to me after that. Probably because after this, they fired the writer who was responsible for most of the dark undertones in the franchise. OOPS!!! >:(
I think the darkest stuff comes from Monster Carnival, Survival, and the graphic novels.

Doodled this up over the last few hours after finishing up my latest comic page. Was just exploring ideas for how The Ivans' transformation might look like since you don't get to see them actually transform in the game itself on the Wii (Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles). Worked somewhat off of the concept art of them where they have their sleeves rolled up revealing "Spikes" that had formed along their arms that they can fire ^_^
More stuff's over in my gallery: https://www.deviantart.com/warahi/gallery

One of Logan's main perks is that you can nullify his healing factor, but you can't use a collar to remove the fact his bones are unbreakable and he has knife hands.

Concept art of William Birkin from the original Resident Evil 2.
Tumblr media
Here's some more early concept art courtesy of the Resident Evil 2 Survival Guide.
Something I noticed with these William images is that his arms appear to have had individual abilities early on in development.
Notice the very long claws on one, the detachable claws on another, the funnel-like maw on a third, and possibly a regular one for grasping things.
Tumblr media
It also looked like the arms might have come off and possibly formed sub-bosses at some point too.
Tumblr media
I wish this ability wasn't scrapped. Looks like it could have been cool.
Tumblr media
If anyone can translate any of this I would very much appreciate it.
Tumblr media
Wish more of this sketch wasn't blocked off like this. The Survival Guide tends to layer the art on top of each other. Kinda frustrating.
Tumblr media
The double eyeballs are pretty neat.
Tumblr media
I like that you can just make out a what looks to be a transparent outline of Leon on the left. Kinda like a cartoon character running away and leaving a dust outline of themselves lol.

yanno i think a lot of people don't appreciate how truly horrifying Pebbles' fate is when it comes to the rot. which is absolutely fair, i didn't quite Get It either until i had a nightmare that felt too real in which i was standing next to a dog that was infected with the rot. everything was fine, it was a golden retriever so it had its breed signature smile on its face as it panted
but then it started spasming. its breath became rasping and gurgling. it fell on its side, at least Trying to whine but it couldn't even communicate its pain to the world. then the rot started forcing itself out. it forced an eyeball out of its socket from the inside, all so a sticky tentacle could start feeling around itself. it started coming out of the mouth. the dog couldn't breathe. the stench of death was oppressive even though it was still alive
all i could do was look at it while trying not to throw up. my throat burned just from seeing it
the fact that Pebbles has gone through that- all Alone, for who knows how fucking long... good gods above
pieces of his body are chipping away, falling to the ground- those which don't rebel against the rest, eating away at it. it's hard to breathe, his heart is beating faster, he's gasping after it, desperately trying to clean his lungs. it's burning, it's freezing, it's a doom he knows he cannot stop now even if some kind of help arrived. he will fall apart, cog after cog. he will slowly rot away, neuron after neuron. all that suffering prolonged by his sheer size. damned by his past grace
how does one cope with such suffering, how can one stand against it without their spirit breaking? i'd say- only when they don't have the option to just die. the rot makes a sickly jungle of his guts, where only the end of fate is certain. he is but just a paralyzed, Painfully Aware prey as his predator tears his flesh apart
the track Not Your Rain captures all of these feelings so damningly well. we can literally hear the sheer agony Pebbles is going through

"Haha! I am so proud that she finally has some sense into her. All it took was getting a little traumatized like the rest of us for her to finally appreciate doors!"
