Welcome to all things “Nobody’s Fool” & “A Fraction of Justice”. Awesome art by @rubeau-art​. You’ll find links to all chapters below. 

NOBODY’S FOOL 

(Art by @rubeau-art)

This is a story of one tiny man overcoming obstacles both systemic and personal to become a big time star. 

Set in a universe where miniature people (around 5 inches tall) are kept as pets for the rich, this story follows one tiny man as he struggles to overcome the abuse people like him suffer at the hands of those who view him as nothing more than a plaything. When he’s rescued by a human who learns to see him for the person he is, he discovers something he never could explore until he had the opportunity to truly express himself: he has quite an incredible hidden talent.  He has what it takes to become a big time star...if only everyone would take him seriously.

A mixture of fluff and angst. Mature (Language, adult themes and violence) but SFW. This story uses the pet trope as a means to explore themes of overcoming trauma and fighting back against abuse, as well as learning to love oneself.

I think relationships, be they romantic or platonic, between tinies and giants are so funny bc like, you're a giant and you look at your tiny friend/family member/lover and you just get that feeling of

"oh look haha it's literally the person I love the most in the whole wide world haha it's all of my world and home compressed into a teeny tiny being hahaha it's- it's the reason I'm happy fitting in my hand, my whole heart beats for them and they take such a small physical space hehehe yeah if anything ever happens to them I literally can't see myself living another day hahahaha :)"

and then they just go on with their day like broo all of your love takes like- a few centimeters, get a life dudeee (i'm dude)

Ovethinking about this again help

Very frankly I have envisioned every possible way of holding a tiny person in my mind and I am very normal. I have thought in depth about this and I like the different take this bit of art has from the usual holding positions. Lifting someone up by their shirt is just kinda vulnerable and insensitive. Straight up grabbing someone like a Funko Pop figure is very obviously not all too respectful and may also scare them half to death. and very frankly in any good bit of gt the natural evolution of a relationship between the person in the giant role and the person in the tiny role is either them becoming so comfortable and trusting around their giant friend that they're just cool with being yoinked whenever. Or it ends up in the tiny having genuine anxiety about being picked up and asking to just... step on the giant's hand. Both are very cool evolutions to the relationship. And both involve mutual respect, care, and understanding. Main difference is the personality of the tiny. Are they the type who'd love being picked up and jumpscared by their giant friend/partner they love and care for? Or do they hate feeling vulnerable and are more so the type to wanna be asked no matter the context. Wanting to have control over the situation. This doesn't mean that the relationship is more frayed because of this, it very much so can be just as beautiful and wholesome as the former. It would be an extra aspect of life to manage though if a giant and a tiny are living together. There are many different kinda human connections, bonds, relationships, all that. There's a lot out there. And gt adds a cool extra layer to it. Also it's cool to me being able to tell that that's Odile's hand.

GOD. I. LOVE.RAIN. I LOVE THE SHOWERS YEAH!!!!! THANK GOD THIS WEATHER EXISTS YEAH

the grass is starting to turn green, so my mood is improving every day (unless, of course, I remember about the upcoming state exams....Most likely, in May I will either not post or I will, but very rarely, I just warn you in advance: this is because my exams have started, I am currently studying in the 9th grade)

Okay, if this shadowban curse follows me here I’m doomed

HELLO MY NAME IS AX

See this guy over here? That me. You may have seen my comic When Autumn Begins. But he got shadowbanned TWO TIMES IN A ROW. Maybe because of his name which someone thought to be offensive (I won’t name it here), so I revealed my true sona I use everywhere else! Call me Ax from on now

Special thanks to @entomolog-t - I tried all you told me on the previous account, but couldn’t reach out to you in any way, so doing it here

When Autumn Begins WILL be continued if this account stays intact (please do stay intact I cried myself to sleep yesterday)

I am glad that you were able to create a new account and continue your work, I am sorry that this happened :(

(I mean, it's a pity that the previous accounts are now banned)

Good luck, I hope that the whole audience will find your new account soon and come back (and also that your audience would grow, your creativity deserves MUCH more)

AHHH SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU STICKING AROUND 💕

I hope this marks the end of any troubles!! You're a phenomenal creator and I'm so sorry you're being put through the ringer with this.

Oh I am SO RELIEVED you’re still here!!!!! I was so sad when I heard about the issues you were having! Yay @entomolog-t for helping!!! So happy to have you here @ittybittyax ✨🎉

grisped. grabbed. snatched. both a symbolic illustration the hold life has had on me lately and a canon event from the Blusleeves storyline

Hey um… @certainwizardlady & @certainwizardguy remember when we had a running joke that Alexander needed a tiny man cave and then you made it for real and sent it to my house for my birthday?? Remember that thing that feels like an irl shitpost and fever dream all at once?

Thank you for the chaoticness that is this actual thing I have in my house now 🤣🤣🤣

Enter below for the true chaos of the Tiddy Box⬇️

So, I wanted to play around with Procreate Dreams and I thought it would be a good time to try making my first animatic.

This scene is from Chapter 9 of @ratcatcher0325 story Nobody's Fool. If you haven't read it (and I suggest you do!) it's set in a world where tiny people are kept as pets and disregarded by humans as nothing more than that. One such pet named Penn finds out he has musical talent. A band decides to give him a chance as their frontrunner. This is his first song ever performed in front of humans.

So please enjoy 2 minutes of some really terrible drawings but some really good music.

Hey, @kitn-underfoot remember when you made this incredible thing for my birthday? Well, today is my birthday 🎁 and I am still so grateful for and delighted by it!

I’m so lucky to call you a friend! Thank you for always being there for me and supporting my writing about silly little guys

Still struggling with some artblock, but pulling out this one to redraw seems to have helped a lot. Besides it’s always nice seeing how far you’ve come over the years with things like this.

Man, I love these boys so much. I forget that Monroe is over seven feet tall and Jax is under six feet (normally).
