I’d Do Anything For You, Mrs. Highness

Sometimes I forget that Flatland is something I can interpret as my own thing so I'ma do that now.

Ik these look very inspired by Flatland 2007, cuz they lowkey are, but I just really like how A. Sphere looks I'm sorry (ik the creator is bad but I can't help the brainworms). I wanted to add quirks tho so it's better imo. My versions of the characters if you will. More fun to draw for me and less ugly (on A. Square's end).

They have actual names and design purposes for each thing. Abel's glove to prevent contamination into himself from Flatland, Anthony's glasses and front hairs being makeshift arms, all that has a reason lol.

More explanations of stuff below cut:

The Flatland parts of Flatland the book stay the same mostly. I'm not changing much there. I do want to flesh out Spaceland tho, so I'ma do that cuz I'm super self-indulgent.

In my version of Flatland, I think it would've been fuunier if out of frustration, Abel Spherious ("A Sphere"), grabbed Anthony Squaur ("A Square") out of Flatland and yoinked him out without thinking about the consequences. He realizes shortly after that he probably shouldn't have done that, and it will probably have horrendous consequences later down the line.

Abel almost kills Anthony on accident, so uh, yikes. But then after bringing him out of Flatland, he decides to work with it, taking him back to his office to do his report on Flatland. He sorta keeps him hidden, but on the last day Anthony gets leaked to the public and the war starts over it rip. However, the span that this is like 3 days, so they get time to chat and develop communication skills n stuff.

Also, since the gravity is so harsh on Anthony's body, he struggles with talking, only emerging little squeaks. Eventually he's able to use a device to get his thoughts across (probably like a telegraph or smth), so the first day or so of being out of Flatland was a terrible time for communication. Especially when you're so entranced with the idea of seeing your "god's" insides.

Also, Abel just kinda finds Anthony gross in general (cuz he looks like a bacteria) and rejects all advances until Anthony learn to properly yap though morse code. When Anthony writes the Flatland novel, Abel translates it for the world of Spaceland to read and not want to obliterate Flatland. However, that is after his misadventures in the fourth dimension (boo a Heightlander's Escape reference tomato tomato).

These are some studies of the two. I really like the hairs on Anthony, it makes him so much more expressive. Also, Abel is a slaying king, I love him sm.

Also, Abel is like the last person who should be in charge of a company. That shit goin down the drain in a week I swear (he came to work high every day his first month of being CEO). I'll probably change the name a lil I just have to cook.

Also, silly joke of how Anthony and Abel met lol.

Have a good one broskies :)))

and the universe said "i love you because you are love"

NOT DW!

wow this isn't dandy world? nyeah.

There's some kind of bad ending on top

one of the most important things about r. line's character is that she is a coward. it is the baseline of nearly all her actions. not in necessarily a critical way, she just is. her mind is stuck as one of a scared child who sees everything as a threat because she cannot place her trust in anybody but her own salvation, and so she creates distance between that which she cannot control, usually by throwing whoever dares to get close to her under the bus. she hides her fear behind cruelty and indifference and apathy and power. she runs from the guilt of what was never her fault, in the process committing actions where the blame truly is on her. a twisted self-fulfilling prophecy. a moth that is ripped from her cocoon to find a world that is all wrong, and mangles herself contorting her body back into the shell of a life that no longer fits her, emerging all the more broken and alone for it. operating in the present, living in the past, with an eye for nothing but the future

I have created my own A. Sphere and A. Square designs, and you should, too!

Due to the things I have recently heard about the creator of the 2007 Flatland adaptation, I have decided to create my own designs because Ladd Ehlinger Jr. Is a racist, bigoted, deplorable human being who is beyond problematic in a multitude of ways. @/rjalker has posted a few of the things he has done, I recommend you read what rjalker has said and create your own versions of the characters. Do not support this adaptation!

go my morally complicated cannibalism yaoi

vincent and equilateris have a complicated relationship. at its core, vincent uses equilateris for his own purposes, whether or not he would ever admit or truly even realize/intend it. there is something rotted and atrophied inside of vincent from birth. equilateris is the neutral solvent to make him pure. but if equilateris is expected to be the one to wash vincent clean of his reality, it means it is simply transferred onto him. equilateris suffers in his love for vincent, no matter how genuine their relationship is. his personhood is rejected in favor of a surface level ideal that makes him a blank slate for others to project themselves onto.

(why, exactly, does vincent view equilateris as such a pure being despite the fact that he extends his prejudice to all? firstly, in order to be able to rationalize his love for equilateris, it’s necessary that he views equilateris as “different” from the rest. putting him on a pedestal is involved with that. secondly, equilateris is so secure and confident in his identity. vincent over-saturates his ego and places himself above all else in order to make up for the crushing reality that he has no direction in life and sees himself as the worst. he cannot fathom the sort of mindset equilateris has, devoid of self-loathing and self-destruction. someone so pure, that someone as tainted as him could learn from. There’s more to it that i do not know how to convey in words because it is closely linked to the context of their creation)

More art n comics below. My art is set in my own adaptation of the book, with loose inspiration taken from the 2007 movie :P

A-Line poked a hole through 2d space and slipped into the 3rd dimension, escaping her murder charges. Good for her!

The apostle!!!!

one day, i will succumb, and you will fade into nothing more than a distant memory.
