Thank you so much!! 🥹💕 I'm so happy you enjoyed Demon Blood (and I'm sorry for the tears 😭).

Actually, I have a whole Demon Blood series! If you're looking for Spider at 16, that's covered in the second and third parts of the trilogy, and there are also several spin-offs.

Demon Blood (https://archiveofourown.org/works/79902726) At six years old, Spider overhears being called “demon blood” and takes the words too literally. Believing something evil lives inside him, he tries to bleed the demon out, unaware of the fear and heartbreak he leaves behind. (50k words)

What Remains (Spin-off) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/79969066) This story takes place shortly after the events of “Demon Blood.” 6 Years Old Spider is still struggling with Self Harm. The urges don’t disappear overnight. Healing isn’t linear and some days are harder than others. The difference now is that he isn’t completely alone. There is a support system around him, imperfect, worried, trying their best. Hands that don’t always know what to say or how to say, but stay anyway. People who are helping him to manage his feelings.

A Mother's Hug (Spin-off) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/80039521) When Tuk is born, 8 years old Spider watches from a distance. He sees Neytiri hold her daughter with a softness he has never felt. He sees warmth, instinct, belonging, something effortless and unquestioned. And the loneliness settles somewhere he can’t ignore. He asks a quiet question: What was my mom like?

Sky People (sequel of Demon Blood) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/81191271) [SECOND PART OF THE TRILOGY] Spider is now 16 years old and still struggling with self-harm. He is haunted by what he is and represents to the Na'Vi; he is Sky People, and he is the son of the man who brought death and destruction. When he comes face-to-face with Miles Quaritch, the truth he has been running from his entire life becomes impossible to ignore. You can’t outrun blood. You can’t carve it out. And sometimes the person you hate the most is the only one who sees exactly what you are. (100k words)

Human, at Last (Sequel of Sky People) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/83795721) [THIRD PART OF THE TRILOGY.] “The ocean does not ask who you were. It teaches you how to breathe again.” Spider returns from the RDA as a hollow shell, empty, silent, and barely there. With the Metkayina, healing is not rushed; it takes time, space, and the support of those around him. Surrounded by the love of his family, he begins to piece himself back together. But healing is not easy. The past lingers. Some days feel like drowning, like the water is closing in, like there is no air left. Yet the water does not heal only one person. Everyone around him carries wounds of their own, and slowly they begin to face them as well. And with them, Spider learns how to live again. (150 words)

Tales of the Boy from Hell's Gate (Spin-off Collection) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/88117086) A Spin-Off of the Demon Blood Trilogy This series follows the same Spider from my trilogy of Demon Blood (so Spider is a self-harming little boy.) This is a collection of standalone one-shots of Spider growing up in Hell's Gate. Each chapter could range from wholesome family moments and ridiculous, nonsensical fun to bittersweet memories and very dark, graphical moments of Spider's life.

And if you finish everything and still want more, I also have an alternate universe series called The Boy That Never Was (https://archiveofourown.org/works/88101376) that I recommend reading after the trilogy. It's a collection of "what if" stories where Spider dies in different ways and explores how those alternate endings would affect everyone around him.

You can find the whole series organized here! (https://archiveofourown.org/series/5775001)

For reference, this is the kind of layout I’ve been using for the chapter covers:

A new chapter of my baby spider adventures spin-off series, Tales Of The Boy From Hell's Gate, is now live! 🕷️💙

This little story follows seven-year-old Spider as he discovers that Norm never celebrated his birthday… and immediately decides that this simply cannot stand.

If you're looking for some fluffy, heartwarming Spider content (with the usual bittersweet emotions sprinkled in), I hope you'll enjoy this one!

I wanted to try something a little different this time.

Lately I haven’t been feeling very inspired to make the same kinds of creative things I usually do, so I decided to experiment and put together a trailer for my fanfiction, Demon Blood.

It was challenging and fun making it! I think I will want eventually make trailers for the rest of the trilogy!

If you’d like to check out the story, the link is below!

Content warnings: child self-harm, self-harm, blood, and other mature themes.

I just wanted to take a moment to share what’s been on my mind lately. For the past week, I’ve been feeling awfully tired and uninspired. It’s like I’m stuck in this whirlwind of emotions and responsibilities, and it’s overwhelming.

There’s so much happening in my life right now, and I find myself struggling to grasp onto anything solid. Everything feels strange and out of touch, moving at a pace that I can’t keep up with. I really want to write, draw, and edit videos more, but it’s like my thoughts are scattered everywhere, and I can’t focus on anything.

It’s a heavy burden that leaves me feeling stuck both mentally and physically, often leading to feeling depressed. In the rare moments I find myself free, I just sit and stare at a wall, overwhelmed by it all.

I know I’m not alone in feeling this way, and I just wanted to reach out to anyone who might be experiencing something similar. It’s tough to navigate through these moments, but I believe that sharing our struggles can help lighten the load.

If you’ve ever felt this way, how do you cope? What helps you find your focus again? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

🌿 Tales Of The Boy From Hell's Gate is out now! 🌿

This image is a little sneak peek of what the first chapter is about! 🕷️💙

This new series is a collection of one-shots featuring my version of Spider from the Demon Blood trilogy, following him as he grows up in Hell’s Gate.

Every chapter is a new little piece of his story, from childhood adventures and silly moments to emotional memories and darker experiences.

There are many more adventures waiting for the little boy from Hell’s Gate. 🫶

If you love Spider and want to see more of his life, his friendships, his struggles, and all the moments in between, this series is for you.

🎥 A little sneak peek of my new what if...? series. 💔

I am sobbing over Spider.

This series asks one simple question:

What if no one arrived in time?

Each chapter revisits one of the three moments in the Demon Blood trilogy where Spider almost died... and imagines the ending where he doesn't make it.

It's heartbreaking, it's painful, and I cried while writing it.
