JACK THE GIANT KILLER
originally this was a kind of personal visual vibe test: I'm still turning some thoughts around about jack in my head (altho I have finished assembling the skeleton of a story and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when I start to press at it) but I really liked how it turned out so I'm posting it as it's own illustration :)
the first post about this idea is over here, but I've fine tuned it down a bit so that the story begins with jack finding the body of a giant while he's out in the woods one day, and the story spirals out of hand before he can stop it.
it's been interesting to read up on jack tales from a literary analysis point of view while I figure this story out!! and through the power of more coffee, I think. I'm close to pinning down an underlying theme I'd really like to bite into. I just need to condense it down to a couple of sentences instead of several paragraphs.
and to close this post out, here's another excerpt from the j.g. ballard's the drowned giant that haunts me!

i relate to f/os inspiring me to do things!! sometimes when i am rotting in bed / can't do a task / etc i think "what would my f/o do" and im so inspired by how cool they are and how much i love them that it motivates me to make them proud <3 so i think i understand how you feel!
Ohhh!!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. My fellow comrade in arms 🤝

Ugh I need 2 go back to New England for a spell…..I need to look at a Proper Ocean. I don’t like the ocean near me. There’s No Rocks, only beach. I hate a beach. Especially when there are other people there.

Thigh day from bunny bartender.
It’s not a matter of ‘am I making him’ it’s a matter of ‘who is he going on?’ right now. Toon with a house (infuriatingly in shirogane where I don’t want it) or toon with an apt in the Mist. I’m leaning towards the toon with the apt as that would require no name change either, but he’s only just at end of arr *wheeze* I might consider trying to save up and buying a msq boost at the anniversary sale. On the other hand, house toon was Tristan which I’m shelving for now, and would require a name change but he’s at the end of Shb and has crafting mostly leveled. I think I may just continue to try and move house and leave it open for a character that would better utilize it, but I don’t know. Maybe I change it back to Ruhka at some point even to put him in a fc. Unless I win the lotto in the next week, then fuck it he’ll go in the house toon.

Me: "wow why am I so tired all the time"
Also me: doesn't sleep even though I'm literally doing nothing because I'm so tired my brain can't hold any thoughts other than static electricity and somehow going to sleep doesn't occur to me as a solution because my brain cannot think
Me: "wow maybe I should go see the sunrise"

Thinking about how the same words can have different connotations. Like yeah sand box sounds fine but sand pit? Sounds way cooler, almost kind of ominous.
