I'm very curious if the "illustrated prose" form will ever take off in a big way. Like, the form that Paranatural is currently made in, as well as the most recent chapter of Cucumber Quest and Homestuck: Beyond Canon.
It definitely loosens up the labor/time requirements for a comic creator, and I feel like it should be pretty adaptable to reading on mobile depending on how you format it.
Is there a website that hosts these kinds of things?

A little home for me ♡ ♡ ♡
"I want to belong somewhere that I feel safe, respected, and free to live the way that I choose. This is my life - my only one - and I want to actually live it. I want to be where I am welcome to take up space. I want a space to reflect my soul, where I can flourish. Someplace not dominated by the stipulations and energies of others. I want someplace that is mine. I want myself a home. A home. A home. A home." June 2nd, 2022

When I was a child I believed everything was possible. Sadly, I was met with adults who told me I should grow up and be responsible. They said fairy tales aren't sensible.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For a time I listened to that, thinking their worldview was reliable. When they told me my dreams and ambitions were unattainable. But then, I grew up and came to my own senses...how some adults are abominable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adults…many of them see in children what they’ve allowed to die inside of themselves. I know now they are very much ashamed of themselves. For that reason, they’d rather no child grows up to be happier or nobler than themselves.
I’m sure it must be envy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m now a grownup, too. But unlike them, I haven’t died; not really, no. Even better, now that I’m older, I’m going to see all my dreams and ambitions come true.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And one day, when I have a child of my own, I’ll teach them to fight for their own fairy tale.
Tumblr media
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.
— Brian W. Aldiss

Maybe we are unique, maybe we are not just people, but art museums displaying vivid colours.

My art @artbysherryle
November 19, 2023
Autumn came
red orange and yellow trees
Just around the corner Thanksgiving
I will think of you
when I feel the warmth of the California sun
And everytime I hear about
the beauty of Indonesia
or the cold winter's in Holland
and in the cute faces of dogs and cats
I will forever see you in your children
and remember how special you are
I send you my love

>you lower your head and touch the tip of the nomad's beak >you put the palm of your hand against the side of its head, tenderly
Tumblr media
the nomad closes its eyes and presses its forehead against yours, and the world explodes behind your rotting eye lids. flashes of pink, white, and red streaking over a stream of technicolours. your heart bursts with hope, like the first time you'd ever seen fireworks, like the furtive joy of being-let-in-to-a-love-larger-than-life. a warm taste of candied ginger spreads from the tip of your tongue all the way to the back of your throat.
it ends just as quickly and suddenly as it starts. you can't just come back to life. i'm sorry, that's not how this works.
---
once upon a time there was a little girl standing by a murky pond, on the side of the road. she was too young to understand desire, so this need, this surging, swirling temptation churning in her stomach ladden with disgust and fright, telling her to crush between her fingers a clump of foaming pink snail eggs resting on the stalk of a lotus surely must be the voice of the devil.
i don't remember how the story ends. i can't tell if the girl went home that night and became a woman, or if she is still sleeping amongst the lotus roots.
----
you watch the nomad pulls away, puts its cloak back on, and resumes its walk. begrudgingly, your faltering limbs move as if of their own will, and bring you along. as silence makes itself known like a tertiary character in a crude paperback novel, you become acutely aware of a desperate thirst. your throat is all but parched, shrivelled flesh, brittle bones; fingertips grating away with sand like chalk on the pavement.
Tumblr media
then it appears before you. a gaping hole in the sand: a pool of water inside a black rock, an abnormal outcrop in the sea of sand. the water is crystal-clear and so perfectly still, its reflection of the empty sky gives the impression of an infinite pit. as casual as can be, the nomad approaches the pool and dips its beak in a few time. then it stands aside and looks at you.
without waiting for an invite, emboldened by the incredible thirst, you rush towards the water. at first you try to cup your hands to drink, but the water keeps leaking through so you abandon all attempts at etiquette and sink your head in, lapping up the water like an animal. and who cares, who cares? so beautiful, my love, as the water runs down your chin, wets your neck and splashes all over your hair.
Tumblr media
when the thirst subsides you see a fleck of silver at the bottom of the pool. the moon, the bastard! you claw at the water, trying to catch it with your fingers. give it back, give it all back. please. please. please. i want to go home.
but that's not how this works.
the nomad puts its hand on your shoulder. it's time to carry on.
