Page of the comic. From the comic script:

PAGE 3 - PANEL A
Closeup of Zero, who is looking to the right. Weโ€™re close to them so we can see the implant in their ear.

ZERO IS BLIND, AND LUCKILY THEIR RADAR IMPLANT STILL WORKS.

PAGE 3 - PANEL B
Weโ€™ve zoomed out and moved to the right from our previous position. Zero is on the left, looking right. One is now on the right side, kneeled down to look more closely at Zero, who is still laying on the ground. Zero and One both look extremely surprised.

THEY DETECT A STRANGE ROBOT DIRECTLY AHEAD!

PAGE 3 - PANEL C
Weโ€™re zoomed in on just the faces of Zero and One, as they look at each other. Zero is on the left, and One is on the right.

DESPITE BOTH SPEAKING, NEITHER SPEAKS THE SAME LANGUAGE!

ZERO:		WHAT ARE YOU?

ONE:		WHAT ARE YOU?


PAGE 3 - PANEL D
Zero is now standing up, rubbing their head with their right hand, because it hurts. They look injured and confused. Zero is standing on the left side of the frame. One is on the right side of the frame, looking judgemental, but concerned.

THEY DONโ€™T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER!

ZERO:		I DONโ€™T FEEL SO GOOD.

ONE:		YOU DONโ€™T LOOK TOO GOOD.

PAGE 3 - PANEL E
With Zeroโ€™s head on the left, and Oneโ€™s head on the right, theyโ€™re looking at each other very hard, trying to figure out what the other one is, because they canโ€™t just ask a question. Zero is even rubbing their chin with their index finger.

ZERO:		ITโ€™S METAL LIKE A ROBOT, BUT IT HAS LEAVES AND LOOKS LIKE A DEER. MAYBE ITโ€™S A LIVING ROBOT OF SOME KIND?

ONE:		ITโ€™S SQUISHY LIKE A PLANT, BUT IT MOVES LIKE A ROBOT. MAYBE ITโ€™S AN ANIMATE ORGANIC LIFE OF SOME KIND?

I'm a disabled trans author living with hunger.

Please follow my comic on Kickstarter.

Zero & One is about a youth in the deep future making friends with a living robot, despite a language barrier.

I'm on the 6th iteration/draft of my blurb and I just can't decide if it's *good enough*.

This gif accurately explains my feels.

I used to be a big re-reader but don't really re-read anymore.

I can think of 3 series I read MANY times since I first read them in middle school.

-Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind
-Dragon Prince Series by Melanie Rawn
-Sweep by Cate Tiernan

I'm so excited to be working with a few artists to get some images of Cin and Tor!

I have so many scenes planned out in my head already that I would LOVE to actually see.

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

His dick was hard, thighs slippery, and heart racing as Cin lead the giant beast through the empty fields and above the trees that surrounded their home.

Remember darlings and darklings:

Donโ€™t yuck another readerโ€™s book tastes. You donโ€™t have to read it or buy it. You donโ€™t even have to vibe with it. You just have to not be disrespectful about different tastes ๐Ÿ˜˜

I feel like a lot of people have become algorithm-brained. Like, they don't post anything particularly interesting or really relating to themselves or they only post like once a week and then wonder why it gains no traction on Bluesky.
You have to act like a semi-normal human here, sorry. 1/2

Teaser reads, "A blood curdling roar broke the silence around him, setting Cin scrambling to his feet. 
"Fuck knuckles!" he cursed as the shape of a drakonid blotted out the sky above him."
