Herearedragons - Blog Posts

Also, I saw a post of your from a while ago where you mentioned how people's insides in the abime look different... How many people's insides have you seen to know that, exactly?

A few here and there when I can get my hands on 'em! Things are much clearer in this "Digital" age!

By the way, Will, you mentioned that liked help you move around - how does it feel to have your posts reblogged? (also did you know that here reblogs stay even if the original post is gone? so it's also a way of recording, I guess!)

Gee! That’s helpful, thank you! Definitely helps me feel more…concrete, if that makes a lick of sense? And helps me look at wherever the one "Reblogging" is puttin' the "Reblogs!"

Hey Will! We're working on a peaceful way to make your passage safe, which might take a while since we're coordinating it with Henry. For a backup plan though, you might want to start learning/rehearsing some country songs (we'll explain if it comes to it)

Golly, thanks, pals! I ain't sure I got the instruments with me to make any genuine country, but I can start compilin' my favorite tunes — and send any recommendations you kids have too! I know Henry, Mal, and @fortunateisle got all kinds of ways to compile tunes all collaborative-like — I don’t have that know-how, but if there’s somethin’ you kids especially like to use, pass it over!

wait, so you *do* have the back of your head?

Well, I've got someone's! Took a page out of the Dadaists' book back in the day and built myself up from what thingamajigs I could find. Got way easier in this "Digital Age!" Sure, I found a couple o' holes here and there, but nowadays I'm pretty complete!

Hey Will, do you *know* who or what is... guarding Henry, so to speak?

I'm pretty sure I do. Can't exactly name it, kid, or I'd be leadin' the bull to the barrel house! I'm sure ya get the idea.

Hey Will, does the number 3 have any special meaning to you?

Well, hm...I find it swell! And to hide out nowadays, one's gotta keep some tricks up his sleeve. To say things that're hard to say aloud!

You know what, yeah, an evil biographer. It’s a hypothetical, like the ship of Theseus thing, so it doesn’t have to completely make sense. If you know that an evil biographer was responsible for putting you here, would you be angry at them?

Huh! S'pose I can't really remember being outside clearly enough to say one way or the other. No comparison point, so no way to say personally how I'd feel, really!

Hypothetically, if you found out that someone else put you in the abime, how would you feel about that?

What, like a sorta biographer trailin’ me around all my life? Unsure how someone else could put me in here!

Wow! @fortunateisle I bet she’d love to take a gander at this beaut once she crawls on back!

made fanart for @fortunateisle even though she's on hiatus :)

Well, can you at least tell us how soon this anniversary is? So we’d have something to look forward to!

Today! Wheehoo!

Hi Will! I heard there's an anniversary coming up! Can you tell us a little about it? It sounds like fun!

Huh, s’pose it is! It is fun! A great step in my own scientifical achievements.

Out of curiosity, what's the last thing you remember before the abime?

Feel like I've always had one foot in here in those early days, but it's hard to tell. It was a kinda mix of both. Sometimes I'd feel like one of those insects with the eyes that are a buncha tiny eyes all together, you know -- Henry showed me a photograph of one once -- watching eighty different things in eighty different places. Sometimes it's all just quiet. Nowadays, it's mostly quiet, so I feel like I can be in here in one piece real solid.

S'pose the only memory I can concretely say was before all of this was being seventeen or eighteen, tickling the Ivories in that recording room. Singing.

Aces! This is incredible. I do like flowers! Haven't thought about them in a while, and these are ab-so-lute-ly perfect!

hey @williamy3w you’ve been really nice about answering our questions, so I thought I’d draw something for you as thanks!

When did you first meet Henry? Do you remember what year it was?

Early 1986 or thereabouts!

So you know The Stratagems - have you heard their song “Nobody Knows”? It’s not the same as the one on your cylinder, but there are similarities for sure.

Yes, indeed! I think the tune on my cylinder pre-dates those fellas, so they might've taken some inspiration.
