Have a new fic in the works for @dbh-bb 🥺 Such a insanely fun event, and I'm so excited to get all the work I've done out to y'all!

Been working alongside @leepicartist, and she has some PHENOMENAL art to show off as the story progresses!! It's been so exciting to see the story in full colour ❤️

The fic is a Reed900 Post-Revolution psych-horror with a dash of veeeeery slow burn and a lovely payoff so I hope you'll give it a shot 🥺

Here's the link, and a little snippet of what it's got to offer ->

The blood was at his chest now. It felt as if it was choking him; he didn’t think he could move. He didn’t know that he could’ve even if he had tried. The thing was behind him, pressing tight against his back. Curled claws stretched over his arm, its fingertips puncturing his sleeve and sending alarms into his vision. More red to blink at him, more warnings he knew he couldn’t heed. The thing finally spoke. Its voice sounded like nails being dragged across a steel sheet, pain personified in a way he had never once heard before. “I got you.” Such a childish claim of victory, as if it had just been playing a game of tag to pass the time.

billy, who protected his mama whenever his daddy hit her and always threw himself in front of her. billy, who did his best to make his mama smile and laugh whenever she was sad or hurt. the boy who cried nonstop for his mama after she left, begging for her to take him with her because daddy kept hitting him and pushing him and yelling at him even though he doesn't know what he did wrong. billy, who gave up after one day too long without his mother's phone calls.

billy, who hated his new step-mom and step-sister when neil introduced them. who hated susan when she always looked away while neil beat on him right in front of her. who hated himself for wanting her to protect him or just look at him after neil was done with him and tell him that it's going to be okay. billy, who hated max for being the child neil always wanted, constantly spoiled, smiled at, never laid a hand on. he wanted his dad to love him. not her. not susan. him. billy, who took the blame for all of max's wrongdoings and went to bed with bruises and frustrated tears in his eyes.

billy, who saw the way max's friends looked at him, how steve harrington looked at him, like he was a monster. a fuck up. a boy, who submitted when his sister forced him to with a bat between his legs, smiling because yes, this is familiar. a brother, who left his sister alone after that night and did whatever she asked him to without a fight because she had the power over him. she had neil.

billy, who was violated over and over again by some shadow that touched every bone in his body and took away his right to be. who nobody bothered to save after finding out what happened to him because billy didn't matter. billy had always been a monster; nothing changed. no one ever tried to save him. not his mother, not his elementary school teachers. not the police. not the neighbours. not his stupid sister and her stupid friends.

billy, who protected and protected and protected, but was never protected in turn. billy, who sacrificed himself for a little girl who brushed her thumb against his cheek and oh, when was the last time someone touched him like this. billy, who died protecting his stupid sister and her stupid friends.

billy, an eighteen year old little boy, who was buried in a town he hated, surrounded by people who hated him, with a name he hated engraved on his tombstone. whose grave nobody ever visited. whose cruel father roamed free. billy, whose abuser won. billy, who was used for evil even after death. billy, who only wanted to be seen.

the only way art gets notes is if its funny, a reference or you have such a huge following that by basic math you'll have to get notes. it's not better for artists on other platforms, with art theft and hate for anything, along with it being harder to get visibility in most places especially at the start. compared to other sites tumblr is good for artists, but it can still be better. and at this point it's not the site, it's the people.

i dont know what happened but please reblog art. ive said it before and i certainly will have to say it again. even if its in a queue or on a sideblog, reblog it. liking doesnt do anything, reblog it. if you want an artist to keep posting art, reblog it. they're not entitled to your reblog but you aren't entitled to their art, and if you want to keep them going and support them, reblog it.

it hurts seeing a huge like to reblog ratio. it hurts seeing something you spent hours on get no visibility but a quick meme or funny post gets spread like wildfire. its like bakers spending days on a cake and people eat 20-minute amongus cookies instead because it's funny.

it rewards minimal effort. it makes effort feel like a waste of time. it makes their art feel like a waste of time. it's a terrible snowball that ive seen artists i loved fall into. one that i'm falling into.

the site is practically built for artists and it's discouraging artists. seeing an artist discouraged hurts. being a discouraged artist hurts.

support who and what you can, and actual support. if you want to go above and beyond leave something in the tags, or in the comments.

i want to see art.

and this post will get more reblogs than most art, im sure.
