This Was Originally All I Wanted To Do For This But I Wanna Add More, So Stay Tuned I Suppose!

(I made this wayyyyy back before roadside attraction but since the series is almost over I figured I’d finally post it)

Just started Chapter 2 of the Unsleeping City.

I swear, Cody is my goth buddy who got into the occult just to f*ck with people

is this anything

We are introduced to Bill Seacaster almost immediately, and immediately know what he's about. He's an infamous pirate known around the world for his awful deeds. He's filthy rich and most importantly, he LOVES his son.

We are introduced to Pok Gukgak only in passing. A small note of riz's long-dead father. And he's left as that for a while, because why would he be anything more. But then he is more, he's so much more. He's a badass and a spy.

Almost immediately we learn that Bill Seacaster is widely known for horrible things, and eventually we learn that Pok Gukgak was never known for all he gave.

With learning about Pok Gukgak comes learning about his death, which as all things involving Riz are, is a mystery. Riz slowly uncovers the pieces to a long warn-out fuzzy picture and even when he thinks he has it all there's always more. He was sick, no he died in a shipwreck, no he was eaten by a dragon, his partner lured him there. Pok Gukgak's death is avenged because of course it is. Riz's goal is to be like him and if he was a hero it's what he would've wanted, it's what he would've done.

Bill Seacaster's death is no mystery. Fabian is intimately familiar with the details. He was right there, he made it happen. Resurrection and incredible feats of healing are very possible in Solace. If Fabian hadn't stabbed him and Bill hadn't blown up, it was very possible that he would've survived. But he didn't survive because Fabian killed him because that's what his dad wanted, that's what he would've done.

Fabian Seacaster has to live up to his father's legacy. Even as he haunts the fiery levels of hell, his memory is still very much alive. Fabian has to live up to his father's legacy, something so very hard to do when his father's name is so boldly written upon the face of the world. The best thing Fabian can do is write his own as a footnote.

Riz Gukgak has to live up to his father's memory. He was a great man who did great things. Right? Riz Gukgak has to live up to his father's memory, a task so impossible as his very name was practically forgotten in the flaming belly of a dragon. Maybe his dad is in hell, maybe he deserves to be there. Why would Riz know? Why would he know anything?

He's nothing like him. He's nothing like him. How can you be like a man who seemingly everyone knows? How can you be like a man you barely knew?

He's nothing like him, but he's like himself. His friends don't need his dad to help save their lives, the world doesn't need his dad to protect it.

They're nothing like their dads but everything like them at the same time. They are notorious and unknown, heroes who do some unsavory things. Their dads are gone but they're right here.

I saw this post (by @pink-november ) comparing the Nightmare/MoC and the Damsel/HEA and it refused to leave my head until I drew it out

Art under the cut for spoilers for chapters 13 and 16 of Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem by @tempusedax-rerum on ao3. (Along with transcriptions) Are you a fan of cleverly worded chapter titles? Do you like your fair share of references to the real world? Do you want to see Bill Cipher face the horrors of self introspection and painful awareness??? Then you should read this fic! Cause it does all that and so much more, and it's a total blast babes: check it out if you're 18 or older and the tags don't bug ya! (yes, every time I post fan art for this I'm going to make a sales pitch, it's a good fic and I like the sound of my own voice (cough EGO-)). I've actually been holding on to these drawings for a while; figured I'd post them when we've got only ONE chapter left?! What! I'm not ready for it to end!!! Nevertheless, consider it my sweet goodbye for the time being, as I put the most effort into this out of everything. I'm not done with fan art for this, mind, just busy at the moment. I'm not even caught up, haha, I haven't read chapter 25 yet (and it's driving me nuts). More rambles about the art under the cut. (I'm a gabber! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Transcription for the doodles (Guys honestly my handwriting usually sucks butt): Image 4: Meanwhile 'Is my boyfriend going to implode?' Image 5: Bill: "Aw c'mon, I haven't even seen her yet-" Ford: "Bill. Yes or no?" 'How do I help her? Will she die? What happened? Is she ok? This was a mistake. Let me be wrong about you. What did you do?' Bill: "...Ok so maybe I sent her mind to hell-" Ford: "WHAT" Image 6: Bill: "Finally, everything's comin' up BILL! Dumb ol' Jan-Jan's out of the picture, the gang's come back, and Sixer loves me again! What could possibly go wro-" Ford: "Now hold on-" Image 7: Stan: "HEEEERE'S STANLEY!! and Fids!" Ford: "Hm."

Ok so for the big fancy one, it's actually the first fan art I made for this fic and what pushed me to actually draw any at all, because the moment I read Ford getting all flusters at the thought of his and Bill's future I just lost it! This silly guy, getting excited by getting to do science! I saw it so clearly in my mind and just had to get it on paper. (digital paper that is)

I also drew all of these before I figured out my coloring style, so I was experimenting with this one. Yellow, as pretty as it is, is very frustrating on its own, particularly in dark values. I have mixed feelings about the final look.

The doodle of guilty Bill, I stopped reading the chapter to draw, haha! Once again, the vision was so clear, I just had ta! Rushed it though, since I had to get back to it and read the rest, but I'd like to come back to this one and touch it up sometime.

These are old drawings, so back around those chapters I was wondering if Stanley and Fiddleford showing up. Those last doodles were my joking prediction of how that'd happen. I have no clue honestly how the story is going to end and if that's even still a possibility. (Probably not, I mean, oh my god how would that work out, but I swear if that's happened in the latest chapters and I don't KNOW-) (don't tell me if it did or not)

I love the henchmaniacs, we should all draw them more I think.

WHOOO ONE MORE CHAPTER LEFT HOW WE FEELIN' TIBIBIBAP GANG?!
