Does Trouble learn magic from a book or does she only know the magic her mom taught her before she died?
âAh, itâs not really something you just learn I guess.â
âShe absolutely has a book, Evie insisted on it. But itâs mostly her own spells, and it doubles as a journal.â
âItâs more of a way for Trouble to sort out her thoughts. A witchâs magic is tied to their emotions. Evie was around long enough to teach us that.â
G: âItâs a learning process for the both of us.â
âOh man. Loaded question. Hope youâve got a minute.â
âIâll start with my new arm.â
âItâs stronger than the old one, and it works just as good, which is badass, âcause Iâm a lefty.â
âItâs got uh... rubbery stuff (1) on the inside so I can hold stuff, and sometime this hole (2) opens up and I can shoot energy beams out of it.â
(1. Silicone-like surface for grip on palm)
(2. Aperture for weapon discharge)
âIâm... not real great with the shooting thing yet unless my targetâs like, right the fuck there...â
âThe eye lets me see, obviously, but it also translates stuff for me.â
âIt also puts boxes on people and targets and stuff and tells me about them if I focus. It can give me trajectories and shit, and calculate stuff.â
âMostly it just makes me dizzy.â
~Jack:Â Â âMy legs are false too, but theyâre just strong and let me jump down from really high places and not fuckinâ die.â
Nobody wants to ask my babies any questions to learn more about them, but maybe youâre all just having performance anxiety. Here, Iâll start.
YO JACK! Whatâs your favourite colour?
I promised art from the first book. (And yes, these hoes should be familiar 8P)
This is Jack (human) and Hartley (alien).
The story follows a boy who was left behind after the rest of the human race left Earth to escape its inevitable, cosmic demise. He is caught up in an explosion as satellites fall from their orbits, and heâs rescued from his doom by an enthusiastic alien who wants to learn more about humans.
There are secrets, there are many other aliens, and there is also a cat.
They may be taking on the universe together, but they are also taking asks. 8D
Cast of âTroubleâ, a book that I will be working on once I finish my first draft of my other book about the end of the world, which will totally get art too, I promise.
Trouble is the title character, a little eight year old girl and growing witch in a world that still isnât ready for magic.
Gabe is Troubleâs very tired and very human father.
Rook and Mag are half-siblings on their fatherâs side and both are hunters.
Trouble inherited her magic from her mother, who had passed away in a suspicious house fire five years prior to the story. The story follows Gabe after his daughter goes missing, and he tracks down and kidnaps a known witch hunter named Rook to help him find her.
Feel free to ask me or them questions so I can flesh them out.
Uh, hey. I didnât think anybody was still here.
Greetings from pillow hell.
So youâve probably noticed so hard you stopped noticing that I have not posted much of fucking anything in the past forever. Oldies but goodies know this is normal, but man am I having a motherfucking time right now.
For starters, Iâm single. My future is now a big, fat fucking question mark. Not gonna get into that.
Iâm working three jobs and trying to pretend that I have time for my own shit and my friends, but I donât, and I am so fucking tired.
That said, Iâm here to make another empty promise, because I figure if I write it down, Iâm more likely to follow through.
THERE WILL BE MORE STUFF HERE.
Iâm gonna do it because if I donât throw myself into my work, then Iâm going to sink into this tar pit and never get out. I need to use this low to boost me up, to keep going and keep creating. To keep writing.
As much as I can apparently still draw (the above image of me in my current vegetative state was legitimately a surprise), I am still a writer down deep, so youâll likely be getting snippets and stories here more than anything else. And by stories, I mean mine. My characters, their lives, their struggles. Officially, Iâm making this just my stuff. If I do something for a fandom, Iâll be posting it elsewhere.
I have to regain control as best I can right now, and that currently means overhauling everything. I mean it, Iâm even about to clean my fucking room, and I donât do that shit ever. So like. Damn.
Iâll post a link when I put the fandom blog together. Hopefully youâll see more of me. I just wish it wasnât because I donât know what else to do.

Or, if the phrase âhot messâ were a person.
Often mistaken for a relative of Simon much to Simonâs humiliation and Nikitaâs amusement.
This is an unfinished playlist comprised of songs with singers that sound like the characters. I also did my best to make the song match the character. For those of you who donât have a Spotify account, I have a temporary list of them here if you just wanna look them up.
Edit: Â Iâm putting the list under a cut so I can change it as we go.
