I think this one specific area of Bilewater has been burned into my mind 😭

"How much do you enjoy the taste of blood, bile, and other potentially hazardous fluids?"
"... It cannot be the worst thing we've put in our body."
"True."

I interviewed one of these factory workers in Los Angeles. She gets paid three cents to sew a zipper, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt.

This is how fast fashion brands like Fashion Nova can put "Made in USA" tags on dress shirts that retail for only $25

"Every day at 6 am, Bilma boards a bus that shuttles her to downtown Los Angeles’s Fashion District. When she reaches the garment factory an hour later, she starts working immediately, without punching in. Like thousands of other garment workers in the United States, Bilma’s wages aren’t tethered to the clock but rather to the quantity of operations she executes. Three cents for a zipper or sleeve, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt before she passes it onto the next sewing operator in line. Assembling an entire dress earns her a mere 15 cents. Bilma toils away on garments primarily for fast-fashion labels such as Fashion Nova, Lulus, and Lucy in the Sky, who prioritize quickly stocking on-trend items over the quality of materials. These companies peddle things like $80 maxi dresses, $25 poplin dress shirts, and $5 crop tops, all modeled by beautiful people and bedecked with the tantalizing promise of low-cost glamor."

"This worker payment system, known as “piecework” in the garment industry, is how US-based manufacturers can sidestep labor laws that require companies to pay at least the minimum wage. Rather than compensating Bilma for the exhausting 12-hour shifts—a regimen that, according to LA County’s minimum wage requirement, should yield $202.80—her pay is determined by the individual tasks she performs, which can fluctuate daily. Despite her adept handling of hundreds of garments a day, Bilma’s earnings typically linger around $50 per day. That’s $300 weekly for the standard six-day grind and $350 if she opts for Sunday labor. Doing what she can with this modest income, Bilma spends $400 a month to live in a two-bedroom apartment with six other people, some of whom are day laborers. In this crowded arrangement, two occupants squeeze into each bedroom, while two more lay claim to the living room. Bilma sleeps in the corner of the bustling kitchen."

(Mild spoilers behind the label)
Wondering how Past Knell would react to Current Knell
#TraitorandtheWretch

Two-part mini comic of Past Knell speaking with Current Knell

Part 1:
Past Knell, looking and scrawnier and greasier than his current self.
He asks, “He’s kind?” (referring to Percy)
Current Knell, “Extremely.”

Part 2:
Current Knell continues with, “And yes, he’s also an excellent kisser”
Past Knell looks down at his hands, blushing furiously. You get a sense it’s something he’d been wondering but never vocalized.

Aminah leans back. She looks off to the side. Aminah is wearing a tank top, shorts and a flannel tied around her waist.

Thanks! I wanted to go for more of "how they'd be portrayed in an average fantasy novel"
A traitor joining forces with a malevolent flesh-mage to rain terror on the masses.

After hearing about the dozen other indie author's horror stories throughout this year regarding advances, I really hope this one pulls through!
A month is ridiculous!

10.10.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 10: Archetype

#TraitorandtheWretch It’s here! It’s finally here!

The conceit of novel came from the idea of what would happen if the two minor bad guys from any other fantasy story came together.

Congratulations to @mythjae.bsky.social on the successful book launch!

Knell and Percy drawn to be the traditional bad guys they were meant to embody in a more abstract style.

Knell is shrouded in darkness with a pale, outstretched hand, mouth open in a silent shriek.

Percy is hunched, enshrouded in Knell’s cloak, wielding a long, white dagger.

Making #TraitorandtheWretch art until it finally releases on 10/10.

Knell from Traitor and the Wretch. Caption “He looked at him like he was the Sun…”
Expectation: Knell looks up, hands clasped with a wide-eyed look of wonder on his face
Reality: Knell’s face is scrunched-up, hands in a raptor-claw stance

Percy is comforting… in his own way.

#TraitorandtheWretch by @mythjae.bsky.social

Rephrasing of a popular tumblr post, in three parts.
1. Percy holds Knell by the collar with a skeptical expression on his face. Knell explains, “But I could kill you!”
2. Percy yanks him closer, his face inches from Knell’s “Yeah? So could another human being. So could a dog. So could a dedicated duck. You’re not special.”
3. Under a caption of “Post-rant clarity”. Knell walks behind Percy with a fond smile on his face. All while Percy is in the foreground looking panicked, thinking “Holy shit, I could’ve died.”

Oh I read that one. It is GRIM!
It reminded me of talks I had with my own family during the start of the pandemic.
Surprise! Racists aren't gonna take the time to tell Asians apart and will use anything as an excuse to exact violence!

An aging, anxious tavern server in a world of heroes and magic decides to pursue a 50-year old childhood dream: see a unicorn in real life. Easy - she just has to survive a quest across kingdoms riddled with monsters, pirates, evil dragon cult plots, and her creaky old joints. #DVPit #GN #A #F #POC

My favorite parts of the story are Percy realizing how much shit he'd be in if Knell were even a little less... Knell

Just thinking about Percy dragging this rat of a man out of a hole by the scruff of his neck and thinking, "Yes. This one is mine."
