A moodboard with blue tones. At the center is a glowing blue planet. Surrounding it are: a snake, a cluster of glowing crystals, neon lights forming a geometric pattern, futuristic blocks with glowing lines between them, a pair of hands, some glowing optic fibers, blue crystals laid out in several rows, and some bioluminescent waves. There are two neon squares overlaying the moodboard—one smaller one outlining the plannet at the center, and a larger one crossing through the corner images. Art of Ren and Micah from my YA sci-fi book, commissioned from artist kaizmos. Ren has pale skin and dark brown hair in a half-ponytail. Micah has brown skin and dark brown hair with an undercut. They are both wearing futuristic dark bodysuits with glowing blue lines. They are standing waist-high in water and surrounded by glowing blue crystals. They are holding hands and gazing dazedly at each other.

Add in a cup of Dead Like Me and 2 teaspoons of Liam's Lynch's "United States of Whatever" to The Midnight Library. Fold in Dark Matter with half a stick of butter, and you've got The World of No. (More butter as necessary.) #UnhingedPit #A #Q #SPEC
