sometimes the tragedy is fun! sometimes the fact that there will be no happy ending is fun! sometimes it is really neat that one character is stuck in the past at the expense of the present and the other is going scorched earth towards the future and they’ll never be on the same page ever again! i like that.

tragedy enjoyers when a character perpetuates the cycle of violence they themselves were a victim of

First Response: The Betrayal (Prologue - Part One) is OUT NOW!! if you’d like to check it out, it’s available as a free/pay what you can PDF here (link)

First Response is a collective of short stories and art, set in a post-apocalyptic future. Decades after pollution and war ravage the Earth, there are two groups of people in the wastelands; those that strive to heal the world that died, and those that benefit from it staying dead.

Kit Winfrey is an engineer at the Kusasa Corporation, one of the world's leaders in environmental and community outreach. Passionate and driven, he quickly became a leading mind in the corporation. He may be spreading thinner and thinner, but it's as they say: If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life!

Oxford Jones is a scientist at the Kusasa Corporation. Brought along by Kit, he hasn't quite yet made a name for himself like his childhood friend. But, maybe this new discovery can change that...

Look, if you're starving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and suddenly someone is like 'oh I have tons of food and it just happens to be meat do you want some lol' you CANNOT act surprised when it's people. You simply CANNOT.

Building a treehouse is the biggest insult to a tree. “I killed your friend, here hold him.”

knight/lord ships are like. what if i would die for you. what if i wanted you to live for me. what if i wanted to touch you but could only be satisfied with being near you. what if i could touch you but only through the safety of our gloves. what if i couldn’t stop thinking about you right next to me. what if i bloodied my hands for you and never looked back at the wreckage. what then

When a character is assured enough in their own power that they are completely relaxed in dangerous situations??? When that same character becomes tense and uncomfortable in the mundane because they don't have a framework for peace?????? When they help navigate violence for another character and in return that character helps them navigate softness??????????? That's all, your honour

characters who are so inauthentic. characters who only show what they want other people to see of them. characters who simply must have control over every part of themselves. do you even get it
