Stuff Is Cool

These two make me feel like I should be smoking a cigarette dramatically when talking about them. Love that.

Anyway, this is a redraw. The old one is ugly and it scares me. :)

a shaped hole in your soul.

More yaoi slop 💔🥀

FINALLY the big updates to the early chapters are complete :]

I basically deleted three chapters and combined them into two and a half new chapters (counting the prologue). I count this as an update because I literally rewrote an entire chapter from scratch while keeping SOME of the same elements (but with writing that matches my style).

I added so much more lore to PJ and Gradient's lives, plus introduced the negativity surge, suspicious AU stuff early on because I basically completely ignored it when I first wrote the opening chapters. IDK why. That stuff slowly builds throughout the fic, and will eventually become Part 2's main conflict. Part 1 is just all about getting the characters' issues and flaws on the table, where they'll confront them further in depth while fighting off the multiverse's greatest threat since the X event. Good for them I guess. But yeah.

Plus I completely completely changed Ink's character, basically converting him from a happy ditzy guy to some disheveled wreck who doesn't even know his own morals anymore. (help him). And Error is slightly interested in this???
