so one of the reasons why i have been away from posting more art and paused updating longfics for hadesgame is that i have been working on what seems to be going to be a very... longform comic that is unsurprisingly centered around zagreus from hades these past few months.
with how this more lighthearted funny transzag post is received and that it is pride month, i would like to say that this is a comic built on that headcanon!
"the body that carries him (or them)" is about pre-canon zagreus and his relationship to his gender (transmascness/non-binary)! with a heavy theme of gender dysphoria of attempting to fit in the binary... and unfortunately, since it is pre-canon hadesgame (starting from some parts of his childhood to young adulthood), there's some of the established pre-canon angst alluding to the main story and the many other issues that come with it.
i do diverge a bit with the leeway of the vagueness of pre-canon
i thought that it would be shorter than what its becoming (my draft currently now at 90 pages?!) im trying my best to fight it to tell the story as best as i can... but this is what happens when The Character takes over us and im sitting here with the Love of Game and the house of hades
so with this update post, i'd like to pair it with some visdev and sketches of some pages i'd like to share:
bonus live zag reaction of the comic draft length (and still counting)
i'll make a proper introduction post with proper additional tags and content warnings/character things and such (ao3 style) for the comic once i've had the prologue done and more parts of the draft get sketched out!
but thank you for reading and getting this far!
im wondering if i should make a new sideblog just for this comic or just crosspost this here on tumblr and on perhaps... tapas...?
i'd love to know what you guys think of it, comments or asks if need be :]
