happy ✨cover✨ day (and some reading material for ya!)

MY MISERABLE DIVINE BODY HORROR NOVELLA FREAKS!! thank u so much lin for taking my comm!! 😭💕💕

anyway if you want to read about a world-city rebuilt and rewilded from the ruins of hyperinnovation then look out for VIVARIUM coming hopefully not too late

a lot of technological "progress" is just thinly disguised neo-colonialism. the desire to discover a new thing aka conquer new territory, the desire to create and harness "artificial intelligence" aka enslave captive bodies. it is so insanely obvious im at a loss for words. lol.

Each of the four images in this post have the same background, a dark greenhouse with a brown path leading forward into a wall of windows. The text reads, "An editor's guide to VIVARIUM, NA ecohorror novel, written by Hannah K. Zhang, represented by Keir Alekseii." There are faint succulent designs in the background.

Two textboxes on the greenhouse background. On the left: "PITCH — Nathan Hui is a bioengineer, working with his mentor to raise trees strong enough to grow in the desolate world beyond the glass-domed Metropolis. One day, a mysterious glass automaton appears in Nathan’s dreams and lures him out of the dome. In the red wasteland of the Old World, Nathan learns that the Metropolis is no longer a temporary laboratory for saving the earth, but a giant VIVARIUM—tended to by glass automata who have lost their original code." The textbox on the right reads: "SNIPPET — Its voice sounded like chiptune, that genre of music derived entirely from electronic noise. Each of its four monosyllabic words crackled with the metallic edge of outmoded technology, yet possessed almost human intention. The glass automaton spoke to me through dream-code, binary becoming breath: “Come to the edge.” I could hear the crescent sound of an unseen smile, a “love you bye” over the phone."

The text at the top of the page reads, "FOR FANS OF:" with two book covers. The first is Monk and Robot (2025) by Becky Chambers, with the following text below: "the solarpunk, rewilded world and human-robot bonds of monk and robot (2025)." The second book cover is of the terraformers (2023) by Annalee Newitz, with the following text below: "the intergenerational environmentalism and anti-capitalist future of the terraformers (2023)." On the right side of the screen, a series of bullet points: "hashtag ownvoices neurodivergent, aspec, asian representation." "cli-fi with a hopeful end." "roko's basilisk." "weird automata." "breaking generational curses, chasing ancestral dreams." "finding the strength to go on in the darkest hour."

on the left, a green and beige moodboard featuring a robot, greenhouses, nature, binary code, and a firefly in the center. on the right, several tumblr text posts arranged around lineart of a robotic hand reaching down to a human hand reaching up. the text posts, in order from top to bottom: "Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." next post: "never, ever, ever let the the stress of this bitch of an earth and its torment nexus stop you from making time for yaoi." next post: "you ever know someone and you think "god i love you. i wish we could've known eachother when we were carefree and 11. i wish we could've played together as kids" next post: "our fates are entwined whether you like it or not you stupid bastard"

Thought I should share my #editorsguide for VIVARIUM, in which a bioengineer is lured out of his haven city by a smiling glass automaton. Now under revision!

A moodboard in dark tones, featuring a painting of a blond man with chin length hair in a green shirt at the center, with an X drawn across his face through which an xray of his skull can be seen. The images around him are of a university campus with gothic architecture, dark flowers and ferns, chemistry glassware, a ring of sparks, a river delta, machinery, anatomical images, and a smithy. Text on it reads "THE BODY ABHORS A STRAIGHT LINE. FATE DOES NOT STRIKE IN A STRAIGHT LINE."

IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP AGENT'S GUIDE

IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP PITCH

IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP BOOK COMPS

IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP MOOD BOARD

IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP

A retired explorer, torn between the fear of losing his wife and a desire to return to the wild, fixates on a towering, imprisoned forest.
Driven by an esoteric rumour, he heads for the forest.

And he will regret every choice from then on...
#questpit #W #SF #T #agentsguide

a square moodboard bordered on the left by a desolate red landscape, and on the right by a bright cityscape with trees in the foreground. six rectangular boxes in the center, clockwise from top left: the title VIVARIUM and the subtitle "sci-fi/ecohorror novella by hannah zhang" on top of an outlined succulent pot on a white background; a white lineart sun over a photograph of large leaves from below; a white text box with text reading "the anthem of the gardens was old world music: booming power ballads for the still-living earth" over a green-outlined globe; several sprouting plants drawn by one continuous white line over dark dewy leaves; a white text box with text reading "the automaton spoke to me through dream-code, binary becoming breath" over faint green binary numbers; a robotic and a human hand drawn with continuous lines meeting over shy leaf plants. the corners of the border sections have some hexagonal patterns.

overly intricate moodboard with nine squares set on a white background. the leftmost row is green and brown themed, centering around a young desi woman summarized as "PETRA NOOR, metropolitan institute of medicine: med student who sleeps well, black cat, matcha latte." the middle row is blue and white themed, centering around a young east asian man summarized as "NATHAN HUI, metropolitan institute of bioengineering: nepo baby slash god pawn bio major, white cat, chamomile tea." the rightmost row is yellow and brown themed, centering around a young caucasian man summarized as "LEO MORGAN, metropolitan institute of mathematical sciences: blonde himbo compsci major, golden retriever, lemon soda." the bottommost box in petra's row is a green-themed studying aesthetic, nathan's is a blue-themed cozy bedroom aesthetic, and leo's is two lemon slushie drinks on a summery garden shelf. there is truly not enough space to describe everything else, i'm so sorry.

two rows of text in translucent green text boxes. left box is titled "serious snippets," with the following snippets: "it was just a dream. this city of ours was still breathing." "if we didn't save it in time, i was to inherit a dead earth--and after all his toil, dr. morgan deserved better than to pass that on to me." "i felt the hollow presence of the glass vials in my pocket, weightless like cicada shells. i was searching for tumors." the right box is titled "unserious snippets," with the followingn snippets: "we hadn't expected to be found by the milkmen, and we definitely hadn't expected one of them to invite us to lunch." "why am i always naked in these freaky dreams?" "if i ran there and back fast enough, my friends would just think i'd shit myself breathless." "what are you, my dad?" there are six images behind the text boxes. clockwise from top left: inside a greenhouse, a set of yellow stairs, a forest, blue glass, a country road, and a city reflected over a body of water.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes.

Right fucking now!

A postcard for Alexandra Hidalgo's novel "GRAND GESTURES" with red, green, and blue rectangles. The top left red rectangle has white text that reads "UPMARKET WOMEN'S FICTION" with a black silhouette of a stack of books. The top right green rectangle reads " Drama runs in the family, but can they stage their own happy ending?” The middle left blue rectangle has a black silhouette of comedy and tragedy masks. The middle right red rectangle reads "GRAND GESTURES." The bottom left green rectangle reads "COMPS" with photos of the covers for Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, the show Gilmore Girls, and Book Lovers by Emily Henry. The bottom right blue rectangle reads " Broadway Dynasties, Cozy Academia, Family Saga, Second Chances, Latina Protagonist, Multiple Love Stories, Empathic Friendships, Three POVs" with black silhouettes of man and a woman dancing and of a woman singing on stage.

When her marriage hits the rocks, an Ivy League professor, her playwright husband, and her Broadway legend mother-in-law/best friend set out to rescue their imploding family by trying to make a hit musical despite the spectacular failure of their latest collaboration.
