I finished reading Blood Chains by @kindafooey this week.
It is by far the best Gravity Falls fanwork I've ever seen and possibly one of the best fics I've ever read. Heck, it could even beat a lot of the books out there with its themes of unconventional pursuits of knowledge and expression as well as finding freedom in chaos. The characters are written in a way that feels close to canon with a natural progression due to the passage of time since the ending of the show. It's a story that is willing to show the darker sides of a relationship and how "friendship," "love," and "hate" can all be circumstantial and at times interchangeable. People change and adapt. There aren't "chances," but instead how you handle the situations in front of you. "Trust" may be different than "dependability," but I trust that this story has left an impact on me from reading it and it will depend on my path forward how that is shown.
Thank you, Fooeyburr. I hope you enjoy this scene from entry twelve.
Also, if you see this,

Blood Chains
Okay folks, I’m literally dying because I finished reading “Blood Chains” by @kindafooey and I need someone to talk about it!
So! If you have read it, and you’d like to chat about it too, I’m begging you on my knees to send me a message, because I’m in the middle of a fanfic crisis.

Hey! I may be a *little* late to the party, but recently I discovered Blood Chains and BOY I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since, it plagues my mind all the time, and I guess what I want to say is that it's one of the best books I've ever read. Tysm for it. I wanna ask if physical copies are still a real thing, the last update I was able to find on them was 2 years ago. If they're avaible to order plz tell me what I gotta do. I hope I'm not a bother, SO anxious rn ;w;
OMG HIIIII and thank you so much for this ask!! I'm physically making the teary-eyed emoji face rn that my phone won't allow me to use on tumblr for some reason haha 😅
The situation with the printed copies is uhhh something I should've addressed a long time ago, tbh. The thing is I still really want to make it happen, but honestly I'm just. kind of stuck? Simply put, I got overwhelmed trying to figure out both the practicalities and economics of it and ended up shelving the project indefinitely. Having three separate books printed, shipped over to me, and then shipping them forth all around the world is something of a financial commitment (I was initially prepared for maybe five people tops to be interested in a printed edition but I've received well over 20 inquiries since the fic was finished, which is. trippy), and after I ended up buying a house two years ago, I had to reprioritize a little. I've been considering alternatives like investing in a better printer and producing the copies at home, but, well. Life has sort of gotten in the way of that. At this point it's mostly just a matter of whether I can set my mind to seeing this whole thing to the finish line at last.
So to sum it up, while I can't promise anything at this point of time, it could absolutely still happen! I feel like I'm becoming more scatterbrained by the year lol, but I really really really want to hold printed copies of my magnum opus in my hands one day, as Blood Chains is still something that I'm endlessly fond and proud of. So if you want to sign up regardless of all the uncertainties surrounding the project, drop me a dm and I'll add you to the list of interest! Again, thank you so much ♡♡

🦋Butterfly's poison: Blood chains OP song lyrics and translation
Did this for fun (didn't find it for myself when needed), if there's mayor mistakes lets fix it then :>
涼やかに流れる 風にひらり身を任せ
suzuyaka ni nagareru kaze ni hirari mi wo makase
entrust oneself to the clear flow of the wind
優雅に舞う蝶を いつも一人眺めてる
yuuga ni maou chou wo itsumo hitori nagameteru
gracefully flies butterfly, one always in a view
さまよいたゆたう想いに 重ねては
samayoi tayuta u omoi ni Kazanete wa
aimlessly wandering in thoughts once again
花香り 淚ほろり
hana kaori namida horori
the fragrance of flowers moves me to tears
目には見えぬ鎖
me ni wa mienu kusari
chains not seen by eyes
逃げたくて逃げ出せない 心があげる悲鳴
nigetakute nigedasenai, kokoro ga akeru himei
want to escape but cant run away, heart screams
夢ならば どうか覚めて
yume naraba douka samete
if this is a dream, please wake me up
笑みすら忘れそうで
emi sura wasure soude
im even about to forget how to smile
渦を巻きながら絡まった 運命(さだめ)の糸
uzu wo maginagara karamatta sadame no ito
got entangled in a whirlpool the thread of destiny
(end of switch op ver.)
🦋
どれほど無力だと 自分を恨んでみては
dore hodo muryoku da to, jibun wo urande mite wa
just how powerless, I kept hating myself for it
あらがうこの胸は まだどこかで夢見てる
aragau kono mune wa, mata dokoka de yume miteru
this heart resisting, again somewhere dreaming
何度も繰り返す問いは 終わらない
nandomo kurikaesu toi wa owaranai
the inquiry repeating, never ending
甘香り 淚さそう
ama kaori namida sasou
sweet fragrance inviting tears
何処に辿りつくの ?
doko ni tadoritsukuno
where will we end up?
もし逃れられるならば 毒をまとってもいい
moshi nogare rareru naraba, doku wo matotte mo ii
If was able to get away, wouldn't even mind to get poisoned
哀しみに 彩(いろど)られて
kanashimi ni irodo rarete
coloured by sadness
枯れてしまいそなの
warete shimaisou nano
about to wither away
声にならぬ声 ねぇ蝶よ 届けて欲しい
koe ni naranu koe, nee chou yo, todokete hoshii
what can't be voiced, please butterfly, convey it
🎶
花香り 淚ほろり
hana kaori namida horori
目には見えぬ鎖
me ni wa mienu kusari
逃げたくて逃げ出せない 心があげる悲鳴
nigetakute nigedasenai, kokoro ka ageru himei
夢ならば どうか覚めて
yume naraba douka samete
笑みすら忘れそうで
e mi sura wasure sou de
渦を巻きながら絡まった 運命(さだめ)の糸
uzu wo nagi nagara karamatta, sadame no ito
Thankyou bye

Ok ok
First Narilamb sketch/comic dump
1: spent HOURS trying to draw those hands, but barely less than 20 minutes on perspective, coloring and shading
Think about this: The Lamb is defending the cult from invaders, Narinder is nearby keeping an eye on the matter. When the danger is almost over, one last enemy approaches with the intention of pushing her down a nearby slope. The Lamb immediately defends herself with the sword, but after fighting for so long she is physically exhausted so, after handling the sword with a sudden movement, she falls.
She lets herself fall, after all if she is wounded she will heal quickly, and if she dies she will revive almost instantly... but suddenly a hand appears holding her tightly, enough for her claws to accidentally dig in, making her bleed. They both look at each other in surprise, thinking exactly the same thing... "why?"
This is based on my own experience and the fact that sheep and goats usually attack and play at charging.
and for the last one... I have my reasons and headcanons ok? *giggles*
Do I have context for any of these? vaguely, but I'm enjoying it
