haha hey yall I finally finished that piece I started back in 2024😭
turns out there's an untapped group of knifetrick fans on Instagram that are still around and its been wild
they still love the story! they're actively rereading it! there's people starting it for the first time! I've managed to achieve an audience for something I made fanart for for 4 years come november that I only thought was possible for huge fandoms the same way I did for the dsmp back in 2021
the way that this "little" fanfic of an obscure segment of an online fandom would lead me down a path of recognition to this extent both online and in person (including my LOCAL GOVERNMENT) is a testament not only to the skills I've learned but to the content it was born from.
I've had plenty of time to think over what this story has done for me and how good it really was for its time (while STILL gaining more fans each day) and I cannot be more honored to help push it forward. I get comments all the time on how much people loved certain parts of the story, its writing style, how it kept readers on edge, etc; and it seems to come back so naturally and on the spot upon seeing my rendition of something so beloved even years after its ending.
I've somehow been able to find unique ways to bring this thing to life, so much so that at least HALF of my collegiate work (and we aren't even done), which has been reviewed by tenured professors with YEARS of knowledge ahead of me, commend the rhetoric value of each detail which oftentimes is me telling the story verbatim, I just include pictures. If I could continue this work professionally, that'd be a dream.
All this to say I love this story. Many people do. At least 10k (Ten Thousand) of them do. If I could continue to have the honor of being the frontman of its visual interpretation for the foreseeable future, I will simply do as I've done, simply with a larger audience.
Over 100k people have seen this video and while it is indeed my art, to disregard the influence of Knifetrick would be to disregard the piece itself. I could not be here without you, so thank you for giving me a place in this wonderful fandom.
being an artist is very entertaining
LEMME TALK ABOUT THIS ONE
- each shelf represents a different metric of measuring time signature in the following forms
- the top shelf follows the basic 1,2,3,4 pattern in the form of quarter notes assuming the song is in 4/4
- the bottom shelf follows using eighth notes (1,&,2,&,3,&,4,&)
- the middle shelf is the most complex following a duple note pattern (1,&,a,2,&,a etc etc) with some props moving to the top shelf
- jackies design is very un-animation friendly with the sheer amount of freckles and Three Different Colors of hair but ill do it if it means he can have a unique design that Doesn't Look Like Tubbo or Tommy (ongoing battle)
- each of their rooms have unique layouts, with ran having a ton of poisons, including his plant, an atropa belladonna. (belle mentioned)
- jackies room caters more to his incessant note-taking via sticky notes and a ton of books, and if you look closely there is a Single bottle of T (as a treat)
belle mentioned
had to get this in before pride month ends this has been canon for me for like 3 years
this has been on my mind recently but whatever happened to Knifetrick? It feels like it's ancient grounds now LMFAO i miss those guys
awww this is so sweet.
nothing really "happened" to them it's just a story i wrote ages ago so it's faded into the background for most people... there's parts of it i'm still really proud of, and many that i am not and would rewrite if i could lol
i've considered many a time rewriting it so that i could publish it as an original novel, but i'm not sure if i really would, since i don't know if the concept is really good enough to warrant that.

blind devotion
reblogging so I can talk about this piece
- the image of devotion is typically portrayed in that of a knight towards a particular purpose (religion, family, monarchy, etc), and the cloth over jackies eyes would make it easy for the title to refer to him.
- rans attire and knife wielding hand provides that assassin-like appearance, and judging by his kissing of jackies hand, he's managed to position himself in just the right circumstance to take out his target.
- the purple hands signify the council's influence on ran, most of which pull him away from jackie, while the only hand that pushes is on the knife gripping hand, which happens to be rans mechanical hand. it is also no coincidence that not a single hand of theirs can touch jackie, so ran effectively becomes their vessel.
- the placement of rans arm on the throne would be an impractical angle for landing a good blow, and maybe that in itself is an act of defiance, but considering that ran built his own arm to remain useful to the council as their little assassin, it isn't beyond them to be the reason his arm breaks again.
- despite this, ran holds jackies wrist almost in desperation to get his message across to the general, who does not meet his gaze (understandably so, considering what he's put him through).
- in his selfishness, ran cracks a single eye open to admire him (which so happens to be the eye covered by the council, and in its nature, could render him blind as well if not for his Literal Radiance), acknowledging that he only ever got this close because jackie granted him that mercy.
- and maybe not returning his gaze could be attributed to jackie Knowing that ran will have remained at his side, whether ran was even aware he was doing it, even early on in his mission. jackies attention and scorn is thus directed at the camera.
- it would be a good time now to mention that there are five members of the council, yet only four hands appear on the piece.
- considering all above information, it should be assumed that you are observing the piece from the eyes of One, who wouldn't come into play in the story until ran's loyalty to the Order was doomed (and maybe it was the moment the two met), so in a sense, you hold just as much resentment as the boy staring right back at you.
the trust they hold in their belief in one another alone is a form of blind devotion.
(id like to point out that despite Jackie's black thumb, flower motifs appear in both his armor and sword)
(id also like to mention that when this becomes a Physical Painting, the cloth of his eyes will be see-through, but only when you shine a light through it. One believed that jackie was blind to his circumstance, but jackie knew his fate from the get-go.)
