Do you like Eyeless Jack? Do you like gore, violence, and thrilling horror? Do you like homey vibes too?
I have just the thing for you! This fic (somehow) has all of this! From tags like hurt/comfort, to found family.
This fic is about Jack, who has hit his one year mark of working for The Tall One. Provided with a cabin, electricity, and protection, he is tasked with fixing up anyone who comes along. It's not in the job description to become familiar with them, but Jack can't help but hear their stories.
With reoccurring characters such as:
Toby Rodgers, Helen (The Bloody Painter) Otis, Tim Wright ("Masky"), Brian Thomas ("Hoodie"), Kate Hayes-Milens ("Kate the Chaser"), Cody (X-Virus) Unknown, and many more iconic characters.
And with lesser known characters (/OCs) like:
Pippa Darling, Leo ("Cross-X") Fincher, Reed Carter, "Something", "Smokey", and more!

(For those of you who have read it already, hi welcome to under the cut, the ad is over lol. I wanted to explain some stuff since Act 1 has ended.)
Act 1
Starting with Toby Rodgers, and ending with Kate Hayes-Milens, Act 1 is a calm, homey handful of chapters with intertwined hurt/comfort along with sting of horror.
Although Jack has only been in his cabin for a year now, he definitely has a handle on things.
Along with the end of Act 1, comes the start of a secondary fic called "I want to die with all my scars (and if they don't like the way we are then fuck them)" I know I do a lot of songs as titles, but they do actually have significance, I swear.
This fic, will have a lot of additional material from outside of Jacks cabin. At the end of Act 1 (spoiler for those who haven't made it there yet.) Kate visits and gives Jack a walkie talkie to communicate with the others outside of his small circle. This secondary fic is for things mentioned in the first one but not fully touched on.
For example, it's mentioned by Liu that Ben said the Hornets boys (Tim, Brian, and Toby) were on a road trip. That is one such things that will be talked about in this fic.
Silly little adventures with other characters that may change the dynamic between each other that wouldn't otherwise be I the central plot of the first fic.
This includes OCs! Pippa Darling, a character from a fic on ao3, will be popping up occasionally, and my own character Reed Carter.
You can even submit your own character to be in the two series. Just leave a comment with a link leading to their story, or a social media so I can contact you!
(If they're heavily leaning on or shipped with a popular ("canon" in heavy quotation) character, then I probably won't use it due to not wanting any shipping or big relationships in the story. Unless you happen to have a set of OCs.)
FAQ
1. "Can I make fanart/fanfiction of HWGA?"
Yes! I encourage it! Just tag me so I can see it!
2. "Will [insert character] be in it?"
Most likely. If there's any requests, then I'll probably write for them too!
3. "What does Jack look like?"
Jack in this fic is more of a metaphor than a person. I'll let you choose what that means to you, but this also means that Jack can look like whatever you wish him to. Any "official art" I make for the series won't even have a consistent design for Jack because that's not the point. See Jack however you'd like, because he's supposed to be a source of comfort in anyway you, and his patients, see fit. You'll notice that that's why I've never outright described what he looks like. Be creative. :)
4. "Where/when does this take place?"
That's sort of a spoiler as of now. It's connected to "The Path of Black Leaves" which was made/coined by the slenderblogs here on tumblr, which is a a mode of transportation. But for a simple answer, kind of in New England.
As for when, it's taming place sometime in the mid 2000's

That's all for now! This post will update as things get posted and the plot moves along. If you have any questions, OC submissions, or just want to say hi, do so in the comments! :) I love to see it!!!
Not to drop and run, but I'm trying to afford nessecities while going to college. So, I have a ko-fi.

Discount for the season is SUMMER25
And...the fic- Ohh the fic, yeah, I'll be trying to update soon. It's just been difficult.
I'll give you a little sneaky peaky though.
Next up is Reed Carter, he's one of mine, but I think it should be interesting for you all since you get some Jack lore. And after him is BEN.
Thanks everyone for all the continuous support, and all the fun pics on the Discord while I brew in my pot of fic related foods. I am cooking, I swear.
An Eyeless Jack ask series! You can ask him anything from details about himself, to his opinions on his friends! Just drop some asks in the ask box and I'll draw out his responses to you :)
(I swear to God the next chapters of the fics are coming out soon, sorry for the delays)
Some HABIT and Otis from The Firefly Trilogy...god I love those movies. Got @sleeping-jayy OBSESSED, so he's helping feed my rabid obsession. Both are sketchy as hell because I can't be bothered sometimes. And I drew them in class with no motivation so this is all you're getting.
Didn't do this but I got real close. Me and an old friend did a roleplay about Alex directing a musical at the school. Events that happened during production is stuff that happened in the series....kind of.
I remember Brian gets pushed/trips off of a set piece, that's about it.
Welcome to the 2025 OC MUSIC FEST (name pending)!!!
Make a post with your band of ocs, written, drawn, or music, and tag it #OCMUSICFEST2025, and your band will be featured in the music fest poster and have a chance to get your ocs drawn by little old me.
The chance to win a drawing of your band will be done via a raffle (thank Google for those little name wheels), and EVERYONE that submits an oc band, group, or individual will be featured in this years poster.
Feel free to throw some of your already existent OCs into this, give them a few instruments! Just no Fandom related OCs - this is a chance to get your unique characters out there!
The deadline will be the end of July! (I'll get a day and time soon).
There will be more advertising...so if you're the first ones to see this, then hey!
I'm playing on a Minecraft server for the first time (on PC anyways) with my friends and it's so fun. I love my stupid beast of a Minecraft skin that I made by frankensteining a bunch of other skins

For all you EMH and MLA0 fans out there, I fear I have done a tad bit of cooking for you.
This slaps video is a little something I like to call "hyperfixating on a roleplay about the slender tall bitch and making it into an animation and I souly blame my RP partner".
Me and @inktoony ( @inksheeep ) have been doing this roleplay with HABIT and their OC Prophet for like....ages now. Won't say much about the roleplay because that's our little world, but what I will say, is that Proph and HABIT are like....bitter divorcees - in which HABIT starts to feel real human feelings tm (ew), and Prophet is stubborn and has repressed truama and in a "I dont wanna date the icky man...but-" kinda way.
So now you all get a very vague and mostly HABIT centric unfinished animation at your disposal. Do with this what you will.
I think it would be nice to have the option to hide numbers on ao3. Make it where the 'kudos' and 'hits' number is author-viewable only, have an alternate option for when a list is sorted by such so people can read things based off their tags and preferences rather than see big number go brrrr
I speak as someone with popular fics, it doesn't have to be a requirement but like, as an option? This could go for other websites too, tumblr notes and the like.
Optionally removing kudos and hits (and other stats if needed) from public view and sorting is a good start to:
(1) encourage readers to read based off of preference rather than what's popular
(2) stop comparisons in what's supposed to be a creative hobby + stop holding a creative hobby to published book standards
(3) (although more complicated than what this single action could hope to solve) help discourage 'fandom heiarchy' and dehumanization/harrassment of writers and artists. I think it would also help new writers/posters stop from being discouraged from sharing their work as well.
AO3 is meant to be an archive, not social media. (My take on online numbers game extends to all social medias too but for this post specifically I say AO3) There is a feedback page for 'feature requests for future development' but there's no guarantee they'll consider it
*biting and tearing clawing my hair out* Community over competition. Creators are your old neighbors, your classmates your grocery clerk and human beings with lives just as complicated as you. Keep fandom free and kingless. Drink water
I apologize for the lack of updates, posts, and written works. Between lack of motivation and shifting hyperfixations, I haven't been doing much in the way of public writing.
I'm not stopping the main fic, or drawing, things might not be entirely creepypasta focused anymore. I know that's what a lot of you are here for and I apologize for that as there won't be as much content in that area.
I want to be able to share more about my personal writing and original characters than just Fandom stuff. And I want to start up commissions. So I'll likely shift focus to that, while doing Fandom things on the side.
I'm going to leave this here as a Fandom related Tumblr, and make a side blog for my personal stuff and I plead that you try and check that out.
Trope where there’s one girl in a group of guys but then over the course of the series they all eventually realize that they’re trans and start transitioning and it turns out that all along it was one guy in a group of girls.
The boy comes out at the end of the second to last season after the leader of the group who’s been out the longest calls them a girl gang and he goes “Uh, actually Keisha… about that…” and she goes “Oh don’t tell me. Not you too.” and he goes “Uh, yeah I was gonna tell my mom first but what the hell I’m Caleb now.”
The first episode ends with the one who will be called Keisha saying “Let’s go boys and Steph” and in the last episode she says “Lat’s go girls. And Caleb!”
There’s a pair of twins who pose together like team rocket whenever they’re making an announcement. When they come out they make sure to pick rhyming names. They’re not identical twins they’re just like that.
