Time's Up - Chapter 1 - TheThetaSigma [Archive of Our Own]
Novella synopsis...
Follow the Professor as he learns time can in fact be broken. What would you do if the very thing that gave you structure and meaning in life began to deteriorate before your very eyes? This story goes into both this and the echoes of tragedy.
An escape that also parallels our world. Shining light on people that normally wouldn't be shown. Showing how hatred harms and destroys lives. The solemn truth that differences will always cause hatred and war when these differences should be celebrated.
The Clockwork Saga is a celebration of history and science fiction. Bringing both together into one series that unlike time won't be disappearing anytime soon.
Can't wait to see you around…

I don’t like how I’m kinda expected to rewrite the first 20 years of my life just because I’m trans. I was the eldest daughter in a black household. I can’t go back and edit my history to say I was the eldest son, cuz that doesn’t accurately convey the certain standards I was held to. I was the only girl in my engineering class. I can’t leave out the “girl” part. It recontextualizes the entire situation. I don’t think either of those facts invalidates my current gender and I don’t think trans people should be expected to rewrite their own history in fear of that
I think being in denial about systemhood is one of the funniest things because what do you mean I'm arguing with the voices in my head on if they do or don't exist.
I recieved a lot of love on the last one, thank you guys so much!! These are really fun to make, I entered a flow state making this one while listening to Primer 55.
Here's a sketch based on a suggestion by videogamesarecool! I might actually finish it cause it turned out really good. :)
