That's what it is? I thought it was a gremlin inside my stomach

Wow I hate anxiety fuck

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

Happy Halloween!

“I love you, Hope Mikaelson. I loved you when I couldn’t remember you. I love you as I’m standing here right now. Hope, I loved you when I was dead. I think I always will.”

Illustration of Livvy in the ninth GHOSTS OF THE SHADOW MARKET story, THE LOST WORLD, by me and Kelly Link. Art by @dibadavood. Book coming to bookstores in June! A snippet: “Boo!” she said, and Kit fumbled the mug, spilling liquid all down his pants. “Livvy?” he said. “That’s right,” she said, pleased. “You can see me. It gets really, really boring being invisible to everyone.” “What are you doing here?” Kit said. Then, “Is he okay? Ty?” https://www.instagram.com/p/BteFQIblAkp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hktlvnfe03om

I'm literally crying

Pop over to https://secretsofblackthornhall.tumblr.com/ to read the first installment! It'll update there every Monday starting August 16 (when you can expect the second post) — the first post is just to give a preview of the story! Expect the characters from TDA — Emma, Jules, Kit, Dru, Ty, Kieran, Cristina, Mark, Diana, etc — and a bunch of history dating back to TID and TLH. It's a serialized novel (that takes place about fifteen months after the end of TDA) that will be posted online for free and have a bunch of multimedia, with contributions from artists like Cassandra Jean, sound files, text conversations, and all sorts of fun stuff. It'll run until next August — and hopefully give us all something to enjoy!

HAVE FUN!
