BIOMASSE

Confined to the post-death state of the Gutter, Gabriel Hartnett is stuck eking out a living in its run-off, a killer for hire in a job he loathes. Unable to remember his life, his face, or even his real name, Gabby bounces from gig to gig until he stumbles across somebody else’s murder. Faced with the criminal underworld, a jilted ex-girlfriend, an increasingly monstrous body, and a parade of investors eager to sell him chunk by screaming chunk, Gabby is forced to reckon with what he is and what he ought to be. Conditions are bad, and they're getting worse. The only way out is through him.

poor gabby. CAN he eat human food? or is there none in the gutter. he deserves a falafel burger so bad. or a crunchy salad thats not made from bone shards!!! i have such affection for him.

there is none i fear! people mostly eat food made from the protein slurry under the city, the biomasse itself. you know that thing where you can cook tofu so it tastes like meat? it's like the reverse of that. people don't actually need to eat in the Pall/Gutter, so people who were vegetarians in life/abstained for various reasons typically choose to fast instead. gabby, unfortunately, does have to eat because his body requires calories, but the upside is the food actually tastes very good (for the most part)

#gabby hartnett #text post #painstaking research going into making a cut of human leg taste like a salad #where vegetarians land on 'can i eat gutter meat' depends on the person like lab grown meat but broadly fasting is common #biomasse

imagine, if you will, a burger

whenever i draw gabby experiencing some harrowing new indignity this is what i'm doing to him

there is a three month gap between these doodles of gabby and you can tell in that time that me being very Not Normal about chest musculature has had some effects

Worldbuilding question: You mention that time isnt a currency in Biomasse, but also Gabby doesnt get paid very well. What IS the currency of The Gutter?

plastic! there's little manufacturing in the gutter, so there's a cottage industry in extracting the microplastics from people's bodies and using it for trade and industry. most of the big players in the gutter aren't necessarily the strongest, but they often operated businesses in their past lives

#biomasse #everybody alive is stuffed full of microplastic so it becomes the de facto currency #note it doesn't necessarily have to be your own #text post #part of the reason gabby attracts such interest is he's eating people and thus taking on their plastic and it's easiest to extract from him #for a variety of reasons #he's a money printing machine

can gabby get sunburnt or what happens to him

he's mostly skinless flesh, so unfortunately for him, when exposed to high heat he begins to smell like a delicious roast

took a stab at my sona, Slaugh! said like 'sloo-ah'. for 2026 i'd like to take a stab at making a pngtuber. maybe dip into trying out art streams. mostly an excuse to draw all the art things i like (weird meat situations, noodley arm muscles, and who could forget. cool skulls)

i was thinking something like this for colours (subject to change)

i thought a funny bit for the shirt would be changing out the slogan all the time

I love that you’re writing more! It’s such a unique thing and you deliver such style (actually I discovered DMW because of the little oneoff smutty thing you posted on ao3, completely obsessed)

Have you considered writing any Biomasse flash fiction? I think people would love to hear just whats going on in Gabby’s fucked up little triangle head

aw thank you!! :} i really appreciate that!

you know what, i actually have! but i've been thinking about how to go about doing it. i'd like to get the comic a-go and established first, but i think it'd present an interesting challenge for me. i want to keep the setting kind of strange and esoteric, i'm not a fan of hard, rules-based magic or the like, and i think that's easier to do either visually, or in written form, but i wonder if doing both would convey too much information. i don't know if this makes sense, exactly. but, yes, i do think about this a lot and will probably end up doing it in the future

#biomasse #gabby hartnett #gabriel hartnett #i'd have to change up my third person limited style too #since part of it is you don't actually get a good idea of what he's thinking at any given time. he can't really emote #there's what he says and what he does and the inferences you make #which is much easier visually!#from my main

endlessly funny to me that gabby's 'divorced father with unfavourable custody agreement trying to knuckle down and have fun on this vacation' outfit drives more crazed lust than his bdsm fetish gear
