sitting here desperately trying to figure out who the big three of gone is and my brain is flicking between “sam, dekka and brianna” and “caine, drake and diana” before realising realistically, it’s actually albert, quinn and lana 😭 without them, everyone would have either starved to death or bled out

#like sure hunter also helped w getting meat but after he dies what then #their only meat source would have been fish and who thought of that first ? #and albert was the only one able to keep the kids working in fields like i have major beef w the little weasel but he was SMART #and if lana just decided to just. stop healing ? mass panic #gone series #the gone series #gone michael grant #michael grant #fayz #the fayz #lana arwen lazar #quinn gaither #albert hillsborough

what if GONE had a graphic novel?

I’ve been working on some comic concepts for the first book in the series since like April but i forgot about the project for like two months straight my bad…… anyway its done now!! This was my first time doing comic page stuff so i hope the layout, text etc is alright :3

The amputation scene page was the first one I drew out and I’m still getting adjusted to drawing with a Wacom tablet, which is why the lineart is a little messier on that one compared to the rest jsjskd. I gradually got better with it as I made my way through the other pages :]

Usually I post sketches/lineart/flat colours etc with my art but theres too much to include here in one post - would anyone b interested in it anyway? The sketches are kinda funny

thoughts after rereading fear

again. again i just think diana's pregnancy being twice as quick as it should is so unnecessary and such a silly plotline

but i love diana starting to integrate with others and wanting redemption and being cared for by others. sam & diana is a friendship i would've liked more of. i love brianna & diana too. and diana taking care of little kids <3

sanjit is just in love with lana and lana taking in his whole family is so adorable

i love astrid's development. but i solidly dislike sam and astrid's relationship by this book. i said i liked them in book 1 this time - and i did - but it just doesn't work anymore

i think drake's misogyny was so silly in this book. him being like 'ugh females!!!!' was so funny because yes we could tell he hates women by the fact that he constantly fantasizes about torturing diana and astrid. why are we spelling it out and making it comical

i enjoy orc's redemption and discovering his faith. i really like that little moment dekka and orc have. + him almost tripping and falling when he discovers that lesbians are in fact a real thing

so brianna is confirmed to be 13 here LMAO her age was definitely retconned?

i always forget howard got killed off because literally no one cared except orc, no one mentioned it, we didn't even really get to see the moment. it's a disappointing and anticlimactic ending for a character that we were shown had a lot more depth than he pretended

the cigar plotline used to scare me so bad when i was young. still horrifying obviously

that being said, penny is just. not a well written character. this is a 12 year old girl with bad self esteem and she was punished for her wrongdoings (less bad wrongdoings than most of caine's btw) with a brutal and horrible death. she caught the worst of the writing's deep rooted misogyny

quinn the character that you are

sam is the kind of aggressive ally who's like 'why didn't you tell me you were gay >:( i would’ve supported you. grrr why' to edilio and wanting to be housemates with his lesbian best friend. one of his funnier traits i would say

astrid and edilio one of my favorite friendships i think

dekka is my beloved i just want to protect her. she deserved better every moment. i love her proudly calling herself a lesbian, to the point where she corrects people who mislabel her. i love her being referred to as the 'antipanic presence' whose energy calms and supports everyone. she is my number one favorite after this reread i think

sam lowkey being protective over caine, like just a tiny little bit, is so funny

diana has been through hell like none of this is okay for a freshly 15 year old girl

4: This list is only so long because of the stuff she did in the Monster Trillogy

5: This should probably be longer too

6: Okay, I am positive turning off an entire town's electricity is illegal, but I can't find the law so I didn't add it

7: her list is probably short because she was only in two books

thoughts after rereading plague

my favorite gone series feature!!!

caine and sam both bother me badly. they have the same attitude towards diana/astrid. sam punishes astrid even if he never intended to. while caine expects gratitude that he never forced diana?

i said this last time i reread (these were among my first posts on this blog!! before i drifted into other fandoms) but i love the foils here of astrid and diana both breaking down personas they’d held up for years. astrid realizing she cannot always be good and righteous. diana realizing she doesn’t have to resign herself to evil and hurt.

the way other characters talk about dekka is so jarring. i know bigotry would be real and alive among teenagers who have nothing left to lose. but jesus christ???

despite my issues with sam i love his and dekka’s relationship in this book, i love him holding her hands and telling her he loves her and wanting her to be his roommate. he even says that if he is going to die, it would be an honor to die with dekka. arguably sam was allowed by the flawed writing to have a much higher level of respect and understanding for dekka since they cannot be romantically involved, which is a whole issue itself. but i still enjoy it

jack stepping up and becoming much stronger (not physically), braver, and bolder in this book is nice to see

orc just makes me so sad. i’m glad he turned the page after this book because him wanting to die is upsetting

i always found the bugs plot so unbelievable it’s funny. still my favorite book of the series, but it’s comical. how did they get so big so fast. why do they have human like irises. what

diana could not fix caine 😭

brittney/drake still completely fails to move me as an antagonist it is so boring and annoying to me

i like lana and sanjit. it is nice in a simple way that sanjit has nothing to do except be her sunshine male wife

i said this last time (again) but i’m glad dahra was remembered for her importance in this book. she never had as much focus as mary did in books 1-3 despite being just as valuable and selfless and responsible. i love the scene where virtue prays for her and asks god to let her rest because she has done so much for other people, just because she could

the line ‘what did howard have if he didn’t have orc?’ causes me a lot of feelings

dekka’s trauma plus the fact that she literally never gets to experience reciprocated love breaks my heart i want better for her. so much better

Name Symbolism in Gone

Sam Temple

Samuel's story in the Bible is actually kind of interesting.* He was the first of the prophets and the last of the judges (not a king, no idea where MG got that from), promised to God before he was even born and obedient to Him until the moment he died. He appointed two kings of Israel: King Saul, who was eventually diagraced, and the humble King David**, though he died before David was actually made king.

Does this mean anything in relation to the Sam Temple we know and love? I don't know. It could be alluding to Sam's more hands-off approach in the later books, but more likely MG just picked a random name from the Hebrew Bible because Jewish(TM).

*Disclaimer: I am an atheist who was raised by an atheist who was also raised by an atheist. I know nothing about the Bible, or really any religion for that matter. My information regarding this may not be entirely accurate. Also, I may explain Bible stuff that's common knowledge to you because it's all new to me. This is not me being stupid or talking down to you. Thank you.

**Random bolding helps me focus. Ditto for all the bright colors. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.***

***footnoting my own writing is really really fun.

Caine Soren / "David Temple"

Caine's name symbolism is more obvious. Cain, humanity's first murderer, who killed his own brother with a rock. Most likely this name was chosen because it sounded cool and edgy while also alluding to his connection with Sam. I do wonder what was going through Caine's adoptive parents' heads when they named him. Eh, white people gonna white people.

Caine's last name is kind of interesting. It's of Scandinavian descent (sources differ on what specifically, most likely Norwegian or Danish) and means "stern, strict, severe". It's particularly interesting to me that this is the family name. Perhaps alluding to the Soren family's attitude toward their adopted son? I guess we'll never know.

King David (the same David who slew Goliath) was a harpist brought to King Saul by Samuel. He grew up to be a great general, and Saul grew paranoid that David was plotting to kill them. To simplify things: David defeated Saul and became King, had an affair with a married woman, killed her husband, and had a son with her (Solomon).

What significance does this have to Caine's story? None that I can see. I think that Connie gave him a good, strong name in hopes that he would grow up to be good and strong. Maybe Caine was a particularly small or weak child and so she named him after David, the boy who defeated a giant and became King. But that’s all conjecture. Again, the most likely explanation is that MG just plucked a random name from the Hebrew Bible because Jewish(TM).

Drake Merwin

Drake's name is actually really funny. Drake means "dragon" or "snake" and Merwin means either "mariner" or "friend of the sea". I choose to believe that this is a reference to his Whip Arm (because it. it looks like a snake,, perhaps even a sea serpent?). If it is, then it's hilarious and MG is a comedic genius. If it isn't, then it's a hell of a coincidence.

Diana Ladris

As far as I can tell, the name "Ladris" doesnt exist. MG made it up. It may have faintly Greek or Italian origins, which makes sense as Diana was the Roman goddess of the moon and fertility (possibly the Roman interpretation of Artemis? Idk im not a historian I just had a Percy Jackson phase). I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a reference to Diana's precociousness. At least she wasn’t named Mary! Speaking of which...

Mary Terrafino

Yeah, Mary's is pretty obvious. Mother Mary, Martyr Mary, etc. As far as I can tell Terrafino is of Italian origin, but I can't find a meaning.

Astrid Ellison

So the name Astrid itself comes from Old Norse and means "divinely beautiful". I don't know if this was on purpose but I believe Astrid's name works on three levels: first, referencing her religiosity; second, sounding similar to "asteroid" and thus alluding to her power (that MG completely forgot about after the first book :')); and third, referencing Astrid Hofferson, who just so happens to both look very similar to our Astrid Ellison (white teen girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a ferocious personality) and share a name with her.

I don't believe Ellison has any special secret meaning, but it comes from an Old Welsh name meaning "kind, benevolent" which I think is nice :)

Peter "Little Pete" Ellison

Similarly to Astrid, I'm not quite sure if the name Peter has any special meaning. The name itself means "stone", and if we follow MG's trend of using Biblical names, then it might be a reference to Saint Peter. It's a bit of a stretch, but this could be a reference to Little Pete going metaphysically toe-to-toe with the Gaiaphage from page one, possibly even before the FAYZ (Peter was the first disciple that Jesus revealed himself to). It could even be a reference to his death: martyred at the hands of a mad tyrant (Peter was crucified by Nero).

Edilio Escobar

Idk if it means anything particularly but Edilio's name is so poetic. It's Greek and means "he who is like a statue". I'm 95% sure MG just picked a random Latino-sounding name but damn he was so right with this one. Edilio: so perfect, so tragic. Like a statue.

Lana Arwen Lazar

I also really like that he has name alliteration, it makes him sound like a superhero (as he deserves!). I'm pretty sure the only other character that has that is Brianna*.

*EDIT: And Lana!

We know that Lana's first & middle names are a reference to comic book characters, but not enough people talk about her last name. In the Bible, Lazarus was brought back to life by Jesus--but considering that Lana's parents are apparently giant nerds, this is probably not a reference to the Bible but to the "Lazarus pit". In DC comics, Lazarus pit is basically a giant pit of mysterious green ooz that brings people back to life. Its side effects? White hair and green eyes.* So Lana's last name may be alluding to the Gaiaphage and the hold it has over her: it killed her and brought her back to life, but it changed her. Considering the Gaiaphage has brought people back to life before, it's not too far-fetched.

*Disclaimer: I know this because of fanfiction. It may not be entirely accurate.

Charles "Orc" Merriman

Orc's name obviously has a lot of symbolism behind it. First he's figuratively seen as a monster, then he's literally seen as a monster. Throughout the series we continuously see this dichotomy between "Orc"--the bully, brute, drunkard, rock monster--and "Charles"--the child in desperate need of help.

Pretty sure his last name was just MG having a laugh since this kid is anything but "merry".

Dekka Talent

Dekka the. The. Don't make me say it.

Brianna Berenson

Howard Bassem

Brianna means something like "good, strong, noble" which tracks. Berenson just means "son of Ber" and I can't find a meaning for that so idk.

EDIT: Brianna's name having alliteration is probably on purpose, since it makes her sound more superhero-y.

It rhymes with coward lmao

Bassem is an Arabic name meaning "smile". I'd have to check and see exactly what book his surname is mentioned in, but honestly the first thing I thought of when I saw it was The Paragraph(TM).*

*idk what it is word-for-word but it's smth like "Howard just looked up at me with that crooked smile of his and said 'I'm always behind you, big guy'".

Duck Zhang

He just wanted a pool :(

Hunter Lefkowitz

His name is Hunter and he. he hunts.

Lefkowitz may or may not mean "lion" and if it does then :(

All the other characters' names either don't have a meaning that I can see (i.e, Albert, Brittney, Quinn, etc.) or have a very obviously stated meaning (i.e, Gaia, Sanjit, etc.).

#MG's naming really is so on the nose. #mother mary. hunter the hunter. howard the coward. drake the snake. dekka the dy- #(i think im allowed to make this joke as i am Black & also a lesbian.) #MG really went ham on that religious symbolism huh. #gone series #sam temple #caine soren #astrid ellison #drake merwin #little pete #little pete ellison #edilio escobar #lana arwen lazar #diana ladris #dekka talent #howard bassem #charles merriman
