In the late 2020s food shortages and increasing corporate power, combined with a decrease in the effective power of the federal government slowly led to the collapse of the United States of America. Local grocery chains began to usurp the state and local governments as people sought more solace and identity with mere stores before their "political" governments, only for groceries to become the new politics when armed men seemed to seize control of random stores across the country one day. Nobody knows for sure who shot first. Some blame Walmart. Some blame a nameless "deep state", "cabal" or chalk it up to late-stage-capitalism. Whatever it was, it began one of the strangest collapses of any large state in human history, and a bloody chapter in the history of America. Most foreign observers were just surprised it wasn't over fast food.
"Bonded shelter cats" is my favorite description of their dynamic ever... their relationship isn't platonic or romantic but a secret third thing (trauma bond)
Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
-The opening paragraph to My Immortal, posted 20 years ago today
Can you tell i really expected Goes Wild to take place in the amazon . Can practically taste my saltiness
It's made mostly from scratch so try to ignore the inherent shitty-ness of it and not look too closely & it should be fine😭😭AUGGHH I NEEDED THIS SO BADD . BRO not tryna bash on the cover btw im just being nitpicky
Heres some coolio notable changes :
- The main leaves on the og cover threw me off initially cause i think theyre deliciosa monsteras and those r NOT native to africa ?? Theyre stereotypical tropical plants and it makes me wonder if it was a communication mistake or smth. the palm-ish leaves could rly be anything (many plants in the amazon look like that..) but they could be the leaves of the peruvian peppertree (could be found in botswana) but alas i could be super wrong abt all that 🥀 my fake cover is meant to take place in the amazon rainforest (the northern peru part) so instead i went for something like the torn leaves of a heliconia maybe (+ tropical ferns + lianas/random vines) rly shouldve wrote the names of what i referenced down
- the unknown orange snake's been replaced by a huge green anaconda ! Did take artistic liberties for the sake of simplicity and kinda did bro dirty.. 😭 the animal eyes also represent different animals from the area oughh hehe
- the wood gw sign was changed to be peruvian walnut wood 🔥🔥
debated what color the gw text was gonna be for too long and the pink makes it stereotypical miami ahh palette lmao 😭 best option somehow
- wanted an excuse to use one of my favorite colors on the shoes
More of my notorious incoherent ranting is below the cut but also MORE ART AND CONCEPTS R THERE !! Yayaya goodluck
Can you IMAGINE the hillpley situations. IMAGINEEEEEE the humidity/hunger/thirst getting to their heads and Murray is scared of everything and everything wants to slaughter and eat them 💔🙏 really wanted gw to make a cannibalism joke but that shit stayed in drafts 😭 yes this was very vital and important
uhh snake didnt show up in the book rip 🥀🥀 Cmon dude just let one of them get bit or smth and the other has to care for them for morals/survival and rush them to find help
They must be so grimy and diseased/dengue-ridden when they come out..
U catch my drift yeah
ADDITIONALLY Look at the cool animals they can encounter CMON it would be so awesomeeeeeeee picture it
Tw for snakes n spiders
whos hungry for scorpion !! /q 🗣️ specifically the caimans r crazy bc ben already has crocodile trauma 😭😭 some other animals i didnt include was the red howler monkey, the royal flycatcher, bullet ants, & the monkey anole ; cool stuff
anyways idk abt the rest of the plot but i dont want no diamond mine shit or rufus so my guess would be a scheme surrounding deforestation , would be very good for awareness too
I still think the idea of ben being the bounty/murray getting sold too/escaping together is silly n fun but auughh idk how they would get there atm , ill edit this post if i think of smth
TYSM FOR LISTENING BTW !! The spy school brain worm is RELENTLESS 🔥🔥🔥 making the fake cover was so joyful.. :3 love u /p
