These Shapes Have Infected My Brain

The Arts of Being, rewritten

The Depths of a Bidimensional Existence, Unravelled (because subtitles in books are fun!)

hey! Remember that novel I wrote? And that I said I'd maybe rewrite sometime?

Well it's gonna happen for real this time. I'll give more detail as I get the time (and I don't have much time to write currently with a job/community service, another job, and school, and therapy, and finally getting that autism diagnosis! Yay!)

I'm a bit inspired by VAS: An Opera in Flatland, which I admittedly havent finished reading because I once again was disillusioned with the humanized flatlanders, the women-not-being-lines and non-bidimensional perspective and stuff.. but I find the visual style interesting - I might make a special edition with similar additions, but as of now the rewrite is simply text, possibly with the addition of the encrypted texts/3d dialogue like the original.

My goal with this is more bidimensionality (dwelling more into the 2d life and perspective and the jarring transition to 3d) maybe i'll try to tackle some theme throughout, and change details like Bill and Liam because 1. i dont like flat dreams at all 2. i dont like possibly getting sued.

My goal is to make something I'm even more proud of and that I can publish - my dad told me I could self-publish through amazon, I think (I may give out free digital copies to the OG flatlandblr crew if anyone wants to be my beta-readers?)

However running it through my dad would mean removing (or making very implicit..) a lot of the queer things of the book. The disability commentary will remain (even more now that I'm making changes to "Bill", if you've seen my recent reblogs), the relationship between Pol and The-Now-Unnamed-Equilateral will continue to be very deep, plus A. Shape will retain its pronouns, but I'm unsure and scared of what would happen with the other details.

The novel will possibly be a bit lengthier, obviously written with more thought and detail I hope - I can't promise the perfect work as I'm just some 17 year old kid.. but I have a lot of love for this flat world, as I hope you guys know, so I will try to do it justice in all its flat glory.

If you have any comments or questions, (or ideas on what to call Bill.. honestly, I might change all the names to non-human-sounding ones.. but I'm not sure?) I'm always open! You guys are the biggest reason I want to do this.

Sorry by the way if I havent answered to anything on my inbox (especially requests for 2d-world info) - life has been a whole tumble lately.

when instead of yellow slurry with infinite faith in the sphere and another life a blood-like slurry with the truth is injected into you haha hihi

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)

im boring
