A Change of Perspective
I was not expecting so much attention on my latest Flatland artwork, as I´m writting my biggest post so far it´s about to hit 400 notes.
Thank you to everyone for sharing my artwork, following me and thanks to everybody leaving comments on them, I truly appreciate what you have to say about my work!
So, I wanted to write a little about my personal relationship with this novel. Although small, it did help me create a point of reference for my growth over these years.
I knew about this novel since 2016, after the 2016 Bill Q&A mentions Edwin A. Abott. Of course my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to figure out this world. I ended up falling on a 4th dimension theory and Mathematics rabbit hole.
Since a lot of conversations surrounding the book where around theories on the 4th dimension, rather than giving political comentary on the book. As it´s rediscovery was made in the year 1920´s, one could imagine why that was the case. For the most part, due to Einstein´s main interest being how Edwin A. was able to somehow predict the 4th dimension´s existence.
Thanks to this, I didn´t take Flatland´s themes into consideration, and just read a few chapters out of order.
July 2024, The Book of Bill releases. Once again, there´s a reference to the novel in one of the pages. And for old times sake I decided to revisit Flatland. Curiously it´s when I got recommended the 2007 Flatland movie to no end, I eventually, after a long weekend of College work, decided to watch it as I animated.
After that, I decided this time I would finally give myself the time to finish the novel. With an older and more open mind I was able to finish the book and understand it´s themes; critiquing bigotry and seeing the world through a whole new perspective. Makes me wish little me finished the book instead of taking its message for granted, could’ve helped get over some mayor denial I had back then.
I believe things happen a certain way for a reason, maybe it was for the better that I didn’t finish that book back then, at least it gave me the opportunity to better appreciate it :^]c
I hope this community keeps on growing. And I hope to see more people create more content for this interesting world!
Hello I just found out about your flatland swap au and I want to see more! Also other characters swapped too! Like who’s president circle swapped with and others thanks!
I'm gonna be honest... when I first came up with this au, I didn't really consider whether other characters would be swapped or not (and how exactly if they were). I was like "eh, I'll figure it out later" and then proceeded to not figure it out at all.
What I'm saying is: Everything about the swap au other than A Cube and A Circle is up to your interpretation, unless I get struck with a sudden burst of inspiration one day to fill in all the gaps. I doubt that will happen anytime soon though, so until then, you can all have your own headcanons about how the rest of this universe works.
FINALLY I FINISHED THESE GRAAAH
messy mishmash of my goofy scribbles from this month of studyy (presidentcircles-assistant & kismetmoon's ocs included) and art style upgrade testing (trust the process, as ppl say)
A. Square
Blender 4.1 test animation
Also, forgot I had more art to throw around here. Hello Loreen enjoyers I bring more ghost content (ignore the low quality, did this in between some of my classes)
one more doodle inspired by GGBG. as nourishment
[ID: a digital drawing of an original stylised Flatland character named Ruth.
Ruth is a humanoid creature who has an eye for a head with a rounded point on top, a short tail and grey skin with light grey spots. She is wearing a green apron with a lace trim over a cream turtleneck with the sleeves rolled up and a green bow with ribbons on her top point.
Ruth is posed mid-stride and leaning to the left. She is holding a silver bowl with green batter using her right arm and a wooden spoon in her left hand. She is smiling with her eye closed.
The background is pale green with a khaki green square behind Ruth.

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.
Flatland (2007) models by Otis Le PoOtis (me) in Blender 4.1
pls tell me that getting recommended GGBG on yt around two months ago was a universal experience
[ID: a digital drawing of an original stylised Flatland character named Ruth done on an off-white background.
Ruth is a humanoid creature who has an eye for a head with a rounded point on top, a short tail, a dent in her right side and brownish-grey skin with light grey spots.
She is dressed and posed in reference to the angel character from the “GGBG” music video. She is wearing a long sleeved blue dress and heels, and has a set of small pale blue wings and a halo. She is leaning back to the left while pulling a tail with a star on the end. Both of her feet are turned inwards and she is looking to the right with an angry expression.

screencap referenced under the cut :
[ID: a screencap of the angel character from the ‘GGBG’ music video. She has pale skin and is wearing the same outfit as described above for Ruth and is in the same pose, only her eyes are closed. The tail she is holding onto has an arrow-shape on the end. The background is lilac with light pink “good” and purple “bad” wrote continuously in linear patterns. The devil character on the right has been cut out of frame. End ID]
