[ID: A digital drawing of an original design for A. Square from Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, drawn against a blue-black background.
He is a dark teal-green square with a thick cream border, with four stubby legs, a single round eye covered with a pair of single-lens glasses with a red lens and black frame, and has orange, red and cream blobs to show his internal organs, with a simple stomach leading back from his mouth, and a gear around a red circle with an orange brain inside.
There are collections of e lines on one upper side and opposite on the lower side. He is first posed like he is crouching look upward, teary-eyed. Then he is being comfortingly patted from a dark gold arm from above. Then he looks annoyed or tired, with one speech bubble with only a red scribble in it, and then a picture of a cream pyramid, red five-pointed star, and green square all overlapping.
In the bottom corner is the artist's signature of "fez pwned".
End ID.]

[ID: A short, silent animation showing a large pentagon house from Flatland, with text reading, "A house in Flatland has two doors." The large door on the lower left is highlighted in blue, labeled, "The Men's door, for shapes", with small figures of a circle, hexagon, pentagon, square, and severran triangles shown. Then the smaller door on the right is highlighted, labeled, "The Women's door, for Straight Lines", with three straight lines shown.
Then text read across the bottom, "But what about nonbinary people?" above a blue and red sphere seen from above, a straight line, a five-pointed star, a pentagon, an irregular line, a square, and a thin triangle. A blue question mark is in the center of the house to show the confusion.
"Well..." the text says, as the nonbinary shapes appear at the top right wall, then continues, "You see..." as the nonbinary people begin to back up out of frame. Then they charge forward, motion-blurred with speed, and break through the wall, causing a cloud of dust to come up. As the dust fades, we see the wall broken inward and the nonbinary people standing inside the house. A blue line then highlights the new hole in the wall, and says with a smiley emoticon, "They're custom-made". End ID.]
most of the wait time was me trying to figure out how to crop this lol...
also on youtube :) and the internet archive.
jimmy and curly from mouthwashing reminded me a lot of r. line and vincent so i drew them with a quote from that
Guess what I watched...
These two definitely have something in common, you can see it, right?
And this two too...
In conclusion, all of them need to go to therapy
And this is live footage of how I make my art-
Drawing other versions for fun!

Love like you
This time I really tried hard on the light and shade, and the tone, and the colors. I corrected this drawing for three days. I hope you like it <3 minifit by @huiosla
The Depths of a Bidimensional Existence, Unravelled (because subtitles in books are fun!)
hey! Remember that novel I wrote? And that I said I'd maybe rewrite sometime?
Well it's gonna happen for real this time. I'll give more detail as I get the time (and I don't have much time to write currently with a job/community service, another job, and school, and therapy, and finally getting that autism diagnosis! Yay!)
I'm a bit inspired by VAS: An Opera in Flatland, which I admittedly havent finished reading because I once again was disillusioned with the humanized flatlanders, the women-not-being-lines and non-bidimensional perspective and stuff.. but I find the visual style interesting - I might make a special edition with similar additions, but as of now the rewrite is simply text, possibly with the addition of the encrypted texts/3d dialogue like the original.
My goal with this is more bidimensionality (dwelling more into the 2d life and perspective and the jarring transition to 3d) maybe i'll try to tackle some theme throughout, and change details like Bill and Liam because 1. i dont like flat dreams at all 2. i dont like possibly getting sued.
My goal is to make something I'm even more proud of and that I can publish - my dad told me I could self-publish through amazon, I think (I may give out free digital copies to the OG flatlandblr crew if anyone wants to be my beta-readers?)
However running it through my dad would mean removing (or making very implicit..) a lot of the queer things of the book. The disability commentary will remain (even more now that I'm making changes to "Bill", if you've seen my recent reblogs), the relationship between Pol and The-Now-Unnamed-Equilateral will continue to be very deep, plus A. Shape will retain its pronouns, but I'm unsure and scared of what would happen with the other details.
The novel will possibly be a bit lengthier, obviously written with more thought and detail I hope - I can't promise the perfect work as I'm just some 17 year old kid.. but I have a lot of love for this flat world, as I hope you guys know, so I will try to do it justice in all its flat glory.
If you have any comments or questions, (or ideas on what to call Bill.. honestly, I might change all the names to non-human-sounding ones.. but I'm not sure?) I'm always open! You guys are the biggest reason I want to do this.
Sorry by the way if I havent answered to anything on my inbox (especially requests for 2d-world info) - life has been a whole tumble lately.
how i look at bro after they ask to see my insides
