I had no idea what to do after high school. Teachers advised things like 'get an arts degree', 'go into STEM', 'take a gap year and go backpacking'.

My similarly undecided friend was told to consider having a baby 😳

Gabby is one of us. 🌩️

Old stained paper looking like a page from a classified file, laid over a thunderstorm background. Silhouette of a woman with long hair wearing a shirt, trousers and heeled boots. Text on the file excerpt reads: Name: Gabrielle Whitehall, Classification: subject, Known Associates: Jon Whitehall, Alex Whitehall, Keraun Thephyeu (?), Notes: Receptive to chocolate. Not transitioned. Text alongside the file excerpt reads: Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Adele Whitehall is 17, finishing high school, and has no idea what she's doing – but she's going to do it while snacking. Sassy, indecisive and passionate about... something. Will know it when she finds it. Secretly hopes magic is real, despite feeling rather that she’s supposed to have stopped believing by now. Never had a crush on a person before.

Check out the new character art done by @janjanartsss.bsky.social! My crowdfund project has met its second stretch goal, so we're getting LOTS of art!

I doubt if we'll get the audio since that needs $3k more, but let's keep going!

A blue space background with a large planet taking up the right side and a spaceship along the bottom. In the center is the cover of Gems and Star Flowers by Amara Lynn and Primrose Song, which has a space scene with a planet taking up the right half and a space ship along the body.
