Yk what? I'll repost my drawing

this is the poster of my soon to be book in its first arc, MECNO's arc.

NGL, this is tecnically my second drawing that isn't a shitpost, and I'm really proud of it.

HAHA

I wrote a WIP of a certain part of the story after certain events that will happen in a certain moment of time of my story

ANGST

A lot of angst

I love angst

As I delved deeper into the pages, a sensation, foreign and heavy, draped over me. A coolness brushed against my cheek, and I reached up to find dampness lingering there. Tears? A question danced on my lips as I questioned the emotion gripping my heart. Sorrow? The word echoed in my mind, unfamiliar yet hauntingly familiar. My vision blurred, words on the page melding into an incomprehensible blur. The book, once held with casual indifference, now felt weighty in my grasp. It was as if its contents held the answers to questions I hadn't even known to ask. With each turn of the page, the tears flowed freely, tracing rivulets down my cheeks. My hand tightened around the book, as if anchoring myself to its pages in the storm of emotions raging within me. I sank to my knees, the cold floor beneath me a stark reminder of the warmth that had seeped from my soul. The text before me remained a mystery, obscured by the veil of tears. Why did these pages, these words, evoke such an ache within me? Why did I feel as though I were mourning the loss of something precious, something I couldn't even name? A hollow ache settled in my chest, a void that no amount of tears could fill. It was a longing, a yearning for something beyond my grasp. Memories, half-forgotten, danced at the edge of my consciousness, teasing me with their elusive presence. Who was I missing? What had I forgotten? In the silence of that moment, amidst the weight of unspoken sorrow, I realized that some emotions transcended language, as I sat there, lost in a sea of tears and unanswered questions.

MUAHAHAHA

I'd love to hear more about your Modern Monsters story.

Specifically about Johanna and her relationships with her friends and boyfriend.

Johanna's relationships with her friends and boyfriend (and, by extension, her family) have always been seen as a bit odd.

Meaning the brunette has always been extremely loyal to her friends and her partners and even her family unless given an extremely good reason not to (i.e betrayal, a large difference in views, etc).

Her death (?) as a child at her mother and village’s hands affected her greatly—making it difficult for her to be around her family, even if she would still do anything for the Everstone family's descendants.

She's had brief interactions with her family members before the events of the story but she hasn't communicated with these modern descendants of hers (except for the oldest of the family) yet. And when she does, it's awkward because it's still painful for her.

It doesn't help that the town of Evermore hasn't forgotten her. Hasn't forgotten the history her mother rewrote. Like the not so little detail where her mother changed her age at death from 12 to 19 to make her look better (spoiler alert: it didn't work with most people).

Being in Evermore and being around her family is painful. Hence why Johanna never really stuck around with for long in the last 397 years.

(She was born in 1616 and Evermore, Massachusetts was founded in 1620. She died and was revived in 1628).

In those 397, she made a lot of friends and dated a good amount of people: all of whom Johanna cared about deeply.

The first of her friends that Johanna met was Lucius Ryder, an incubus—who she met while trying to summon a demon. She was cursed during the incantation out of frustration and poof! There he was.

When he realized what had happened he laughed at her and refused to take her soul. Lucius stuck around as Johanna tried to summon one who would take her soul. That led to Morana Crimson (a demon), Desdemona Grimm (no one knows what the fuck she is), and Octavius Taranto (some kind of shapeshifter) showing up.

All of whom refused her soul.

Much to her frustration.

The four of them ended up sticking around in her life.

It's because of them she was able to save Halmar Starkden when she was sixteen after finding him after what his witch hunter did to him when he released someone they thought was a witch. They helped her nurse him back to health to the best of their ability.

Long before they found out he was a wizard.

Johanna has an uncanny ability of being at the right place at the wrong time and the wrong place at the wrong time. It's because of that ability that Johanna met all of her friends and saved them/got saved by them.

She was there with a magic ring when Douglas Graves struggled with being a skeleton. To explain what happened to him and to help him get readjusted into society.

Johanna was there when Fin Finley, a merman, was dying of dehydration. There when Mako Akula seemed shady but turned out to just be a 'monster' like the rest of them. There when Clover Boggs, a fairy, injured her wings and couldn't escape hunters. There when Samantha Bellweed, a tree nymph, was struggling with pollution. There for their friends when Victoria 'Ick' Eyessacs confronted all of them on not being human and she was there to answer Ick’s questions.

She was there when Ick turned out not to be human and she was there to help Silas Pan, a satyr, get used to the human world.

Johanna was there for the people who would become her friends and they were there for her.

Her friends were there for Johanna through every betrayal, every death, every tragic event, etc.

The lot of them are there to help discover the secrets of their pasts, the mysteries of the present, and being around one around is very beneficial to all of them because each of them? They are othered.

They are from different times, different places, and are living in a world that isn't full their own through choice and have been doing so for decades.

Does that make sense? I hope that answers your question.

I'm revamping the story so I can't mention every character. But I can definitely tell you more if you want.
