So... The glass scientists ended as all my fellow fans know and while I was scrolling on Google looking for tgs yaoi (shut up I'm sure y'all do it too 😞) I stumbled upon the cover for a little comic called "The Ghostkeeper" by @johannamation. I became intrigued and started doing some research on it and started telling the rest of the TGS fandom about it.

After reading it I have to say holy fucking shit I love it so much like... I cannot recommend it enough. Unfortunately it's not a webcomic like TGS you do have to purchase a physical copy but if you can get it go read it especially if you're a TGS fan.

The main character (Dorian) is also like TGS Jekyll in a lot of ways and I really have grown to love him over the course of the story

Why am I recommending it to TGS fans specifically? Well in many ways is similar but still completely original. It's set in the Victorian era, it's full of supernatural stuff, the main character is a workaholic (just like Jekyll), also the main characters of both stories are can see ghostly figures while others can't (E.G. Jekyll can see Hyde while others can't and Dorian can do the same but which ghosts) and the best part, it's gay!!! There's Yaoi!!! And I know what you TGS fans are like for Yaoi content

I do have to put some warnings here tho if you do decide to purchase the comic

It contains slight body horror and dealing with heavy topics like trauma and grief

But yeah if you can go and read the ghost keeper it's so amazing I was actually sobbing by the end of it

Oh yeah also have some fanart of the main character, Dorian

I cannot stress enough how much I ADORE this Book!

Looking for a Graphic novel about ghosts where the main character is a white haired twink with a tragic backstory who can see ghosts with an adorable Bookkeeper boyfriend?! THIS IS THE BOOK! Its by @johannamation and I am still so obsessed that I even designed and 3D printed and painted my own Death's door key!

I look forward to any other work she makes!

Some fanart I did after reading @johannamation's wonderful graphic novel, THE GHOSTKEEPER, of her character Dorian Leith. I made the first pic for her as a print when I met her at Lightbox Expo for the first time! About time I shared them here too!

[johannamation]

[most-likely-human-indeed]

EEEEEEEEEEEE

I JUST NOTICED A SMALL DETAIL TAHT MAY NOTVE BEEN THOUGH OF IN THE GHOST KEEPER BUT ITS SO EEEEEEE

spoilers for the graphic novel under the cut (go read it)

So Dorian is mainly a blue color scheme while Brody is green and browns. And sure they wear other colors but these are their main colors and outfits.

Look at them. They’ve swapped color schemes and Brody is calling him love. I need them to kiss.

[omputue]

Really liked this graphic novel by Johanna Taylor so I made bracelets!!

[johannamation]

OMG WAIT THESE ARE!!! SO CUTE???? 🤩 🤩 🤩 I’m losing my mind I love these so much!!!

[johannamation]

would it be okay if I shared the fanart I made of Dorian and Brody? I really love your book that you wrote. And I just think the two are really cute. I will not stop telling my tumblr mutuals about your book

(correct me if I’m wrong, Dorian and Brody started dating at the end, right?)

(also anon bc i am a bit nervous.)

OF COURSE YOU MAY!! I love fanart of my boys!! 🥰 🥰 Also they’re in a relationship throughout the whole book btw, but yes by the end they’re still together :) (minor spoiler ig)

And thank you so much for spreading the love, word of mouth is so so important for authors and comic creators to get eyes on our books! 🙏

[a-very-humanyes]

I didn’t know they were in a relationship throughout the whole book. I thought they were both flatmates with crushes. But I will definitely reread it.

(I’m not too great at drawing)

[johannamation]

OMMGGGG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! You drew them so cyuuute 😭 💕

And yes they start out as flatmates with crushes, but once That Conversation (you know the one 💞 ) happens in the book, they start a relationship in earnest :3
