September WIP #3
Added 2024-09-16 10:10:40 +0000 UTCKind of a super secret post here asdfghjk 🤫🤫A glimpse behind the curtain ✨ Let's keep it on the DL, shall we?
Um. Yeah. Maybe y'all have heard of this pretty popular fanfic perhaps..?? something about low light..?🤔
ANYway---these are some scrapped wips from a piece I never finished (and probably never will) featuring scenes from the first chapter of this random incidental cod fanfic that I certainly had nothing to do with lol. Here we have Johnny and his father Jack (my beloved) and a portrait of our very depressed and miserable and bald boy ;_;
sure do hope the 'author' appreciates my depictions winkwinkwinkwink
(in all seriousness--if you have read this fic and it meant something to you, I'm eternally grateful for all of the kindness it has received (hypothetically) yeeahhh, I still think about it every single day btw, and I'll never stop thinking about it....)
God...I miss him...maybe it's the oncoming fall that makes me yearn for this feeling again. There's something so deep and personal about how I feel about this version of Johnny (my Johnny-boy 😭). He'll always have a place in my heart <333
So yeah...this was from an idea I had to draw a piece for each chapter, but I quickly realized how utterly ambitious that was, and left these unfinished 🤷♀️ Will I ever make more for this story...who knows. But know that I cherish each and every reader who has sent me a lovely comment about it, of course, hypothetically speaking winkwink ok bbye now~
Comments
Love the picture of the two. This story still holds a place in my heart. And I re-read it whenever I can. Heck I used the ghost jokes Jessie tells Simon yesterday at work.

2024-11-01 14:59:13 +0000 UTCThis fic was the first fic I read when I found my way to this fandom and it still is everything.. I love it so much, it both hurts and heals my soul in all the right ways. And the art is just perfect and compliments the story beautifully ❤️

2024-11-01 02:30:45 +0000 UTCI'm not having any more kids but "Johnny Laith + my Scottish maiden name" made the list for boy names after I read this fic

2024-10-11 00:12:01 +0000 UTCThe incidental fanfic that you have nothing to do with is how my friend and I found your art, and we're obsessed with both. Every time we bring up the fic we need a moment of silence to stare at the wall. (It's the holy ghost soap canon)

2024-09-26 02:20:24 +0000 UTCYOURE DOING ART FOR ONE OF MY FAVE FICS???!! 😭 omg it’s all so beautiful I have so many feels

2024-09-18 17:07:26 +0000 UTCI wish I’d never read the final few paragraphs of it so it had never of ended to me. I long for the day you decide to extend the story, be it prequels, sequels whatever it might be. Hopefully one day we get more, in any way Beautiful writing and a beautiful story. Just, breathtaking

2024-09-17 19:54:45 +0000 UTCI’ve been toying with the idea of a reread… y’know… to irrigate the sinuses… 🥲 This is beautiful, Womby. Brought me right back to that fic, you know the one, the one that’s very dear to me… the one that I read pieces of to my partner and he jumped right on the Ghoap bandwagon as a Guy who’s never been in a fandom… and it helped irrigate his sinuses too so that was a bonus. Yep, I’m definitely due a reread. Seriously magnificent work on the Art (plural).

2024-09-17 09:17:55 +0000 UTCI‘m crying. This caught me completely off guard. Low Light is part of my soul atp and just. I - 😭😭😭 thank you!!!

2024-09-17 04:05:49 +0000 UTCi tell people all the time that my favorite book is an unpublished work online and i always mean low light that fic is so special to me i can't articulate it, it got me through an unbelievably bad time and i reread it pretty much every other month. i have read a innumerable amount of fanfics and that one tops them all EASILY it changed me

Rainclouds
2024-09-16 20:27:30 +0000 UTCKNEW this was for low light at the first glance which is not only the best ff I’ve ever read but also up there in my list of all time favorite books. I recommend this to close friends who don’t even know COD/really read ff lol. absolutely gorgeous and this art reflects the moodiness of that first chapter so well ❤️❤️

2024-09-16 19:59:18 +0000 UTCGenuinely one of the best fics ive ever read, I still think about it frequently. I downloaded it on my kindle and when I saw the book cover I immediately knew
Claire
2024-09-16 19:32:44 +0000 UTCThe other day my friend and I were talking about our favorite books and I straight up was like “hm my favorite story isn’t published, but this is quite literally my favorite piece of writing ever” and sent her a link to this fanfic. I do not have words to describe how much that story touched me. I’ve reread it more than 5 times and will never get tired of it. If the author ever decided to write more of this story I don’t know what I’d do with myself from happiness 🥺
Lisa
2024-09-16 19:08:07 +0000 UTCThis is the only fic I've ever cried at. I think about it daily, it honestly means so much. Practically in tears at my desk today when you posted this ❤️
Chloe
2024-09-16 17:45:39 +0000 UTCI want you to know we have a full thread dedicated to this fic on a discord and we are all clinically unwell over it. LL was one of the first cod fics I read and it’ll always have such a special place in my heart I love youuuuuuuu❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jules
2024-09-16 16:55:40 +0000 UTCI saw the preview and I instantly knew what these wips belonged to. Holy shit. Just seeing these works brings back the memories. They’re so good. The depth of emotion or lack there of on Johnnys face is chilling. Sweet boy was going through it 😭
Jules
2024-09-16 16:53:45 +0000 UTCThank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

NoKi
2024-09-16 15:37:30 +0000 UTCI've left comments for the author, but I can't help myself but praise that certain fic to everyone I know. No joke it changed my life. CoD was only an occasional game and fandom on law to me—I'd wanted wanted something long that I didn't know deeply and, well. I cried, I laughed, I ached. I read it nonstop overnight and was more refreshed than sleep would ever accomplish. I started drawing again. I got my chronically ill body into the gym. I'm repairing my life for myself. Yeah, it was a fic about characters who don't exist but it rearranged my whole mental space. I reread it often. I wish I could thank the author enough for relighting my whole self, and I only hope they're doing well out there. <3

2024-09-16 15:37:08 +0000 UTCIt is ALL the emotions 😅❤️

2024-09-16 15:25:24 +0000 UTCThis is my all time favourite fic from AO3 and I still think about it ❤️ Love the artwork for it!!
Fivreld
2024-09-16 15:23:05 +0000 UTCI feel so dumb not catching that this was yours because the art is so similar 😅 That work is something I could never give enough praise to. I talk about it with anyone who'd listen and have retold it to several people. It truly is incredible and means so much to me. I can't think about it without tearing up 🥹 It is one of the greatest stories I've read /ever/ and it is the main reason I find myself this deep into ghoap hell 🤭💙🤎 Connecting that work to you and your other incredible art in here really just makes me love it even more!!!

2024-09-16 15:21:28 +0000 UTCPlz someone link it 😭

2024-09-16 14:29:51 +0000 UTCI was literally just re reading it for the billionth time 🤣 it's my favorite fic.
Emily Jones
2024-09-16 14:27:21 +0000 UTCThe entirety of that universe lives rent free in my head, given I too think about it quite often. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to extend the proper amount of gratitude over how much it has meant to me and my feelings about Johnny. Still, you know I adore the ever-loving fuck outta you and truly appreciate all you've given us.
burnthatbridge
2024-09-16 14:21:08 +0000 UTCThat story is hands down the most beautiful thing I have ever read, and I will cry if I think about the poem for too long. Thank you for creating this little universe, it genuinely changed my life and has lived rent free in my head almost daily.
Kaiee
2024-09-16 13:37:58 +0000 UTCI still need to read that fic but I'm not sure I'm ready for the emotions 😭 😆
Leanne Gara
2024-09-16 13:36:39 +0000 UTCOne of my favorites! Definitely cried a few times, but it's so good.
Kaiju
2024-09-16 13:31:16 +0000 UTCThat fic is still my favorite and I have re-read it probably 3 or 4 times will probably re-read again 😅 your art and your writing have really inspiring me Womby!

2024-09-16 13:03:45 +0000 UTCabsolutely okay with people fanbinding!! multiple others already have and it blows my mind every time 😳🥰 (the author would also love to see pics if you do pspsps 🤭)
Bat
2024-09-16 12:56:29 +0000 UTCWAIT what’s the fic??? I must know lol
Burnt out
2024-09-16 12:44:19 +0000 UTCI don’t think I’ll ever quite recover from this fic. I read it I think last autumn while I was not in a very good place and when I said I felt all the feelings reading it I really mean it. Openly crying on a train while trying to read it through the tears. It has really changed how I view and read fanfics forever. This piece has lifted my standards on fanfics to such an astronomical level it’s hard to read anything else these days. The writing style and attention to detail will forever be unmatched
Sebby
2024-09-16 12:31:11 +0000 UTCThe poem destroys me every time I think about it or see people having tea with sugar 😭😭😭😭😭
Mileena Ebi
2024-09-16 12:29:54 +0000 UTCThis is my favourite fic of all times. It's standing on a pedestal like a fuckin golden-marble-diamond statue and nothing can even touch it's toes I had too much mental breakdowns while reading to go on from them too, soooo if you gonna do something about them... Again, I dunno, maybe... 👉👈 He's so broken, just like I thought he would be..

2024-09-16 12:28:30 +0000 UTCI have read that fic so many times, it's one of my favorites 😫😫😫 and Johnny is still absolutely beautiful here❤️

2024-09-16 12:19:40 +0000 UTCWOMBYYYYYY PLEASE THIS FIC IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER IM GONNA CRY it made me ugly cry im so serious i dont think a fic’s ever made me cry that hard i hope the author knows theyre one of my favorite authors. (i had some suspicions upon finishing it referring to your drawings and chalked it up to a mysterious similarity of art styles…). is the author perhaps okay with people fanbinding…?
patchy
2024-09-16 12:08:49 +0000 UTCAbsolutely my favourite fic ever , the art haunts me

2024-09-16 11:00:36 +0000 UTCI SOBBED reading that fic. I think about it ALL the time. ATSITLL is my Ghoap canon. You are an absolute treasure and we are so lucky to have you in this fandom. ❤️❤️

2024-09-16 10:58:41 +0000 UTCI never realised you are the author of that fic 😭😭😭 having currently a minor meltdown over this information. I love it so much, that fic is everything to me 😭❤️❤️❤️
Karo
2024-09-16 10:57:28 +0000 UTCI cannot even BEGIN to put into words how much that fanfic meant to me and seeing this is bringing up so many emotions again! Its been recommended to me so often and with the last push of a friend I read it at the beginning of this year and it was an emotional rollercoaster for sure, screaming, crying.. AHH T-T I spammed their dms screeching to them about the fic and seeing this makes me just want to reread it all over again!! ;-; I didnt even see the caption at first and KNEW what the art was about because that fic has been engraved into me omg. One of the best things Ive ever read and will forever have a special place in my heart!! 🩵 Not that the author would ever see this and know, nooo, only the artist ofc!! 🙂↕️ (Said friend, you're NOT seeing this comment, shhh)
Fao
2024-09-16 10:52:20 +0000 UTCI will say I think about this fic an astronomical amount. And it holds a very special place in my heart. Glad to see so many share the sentiment ❤️
Brainrot
2024-09-16 10:50:23 +0000 UTCI’ve said it there, and I’ll say it here: ATSITLL is a wonderful story of love, hardship, and war. It could easily be published and we are so blessed that you wrote that for free, and continue to give us art for these fictional men. I love this Johnny. The whole cast of characters are superb. You’re a treasure.

FerindenCadash
2024-09-16 10:41:17 +0000 UTCOh my heart!! 😭❤️ What an incredible treat this is!! I still think about this fic all the time. No story has ever affected me like this one did. I actually just recently dragged my friend into CoD hell with me, and she's currently reading Low Light at my behest. There's been a lot of yelling and crying. 😅 Thank you for this beautiful gift 🙏❤️
FerindenCadash
2024-09-16 10:39:51 +0000 UTC(Off the books of course) I absolutely adored that fic with my whole being. It was and will be one of my most favorite fics of all time. It was beautifully written and invoked so much emotion. I cant really express enought how much i loved it.
Nyah Eichelberger
2024-09-16 10:39:50 +0000 UTCIn hindsight, it is SO obvious.🤣 It didn’t click for me until the very last chapter when I was looking at all the art and was like wait a damn minute here…. 🤯
Tania Mokienko
2024-09-16 10:35:19 +0000 UTCEXCUSE ME?????? I had no idea ALFKAKDHA I mean… I still have no idea… anyway this is stunning and lovely and this fic emotionally eviscerated me and then lovingly stitched me back together in ways I didn’t know that I needed. I love how Johnny looks here 🥺 and Jack my beloved!!! Ugh this is so lovely Womby. Thank you for sharing this *and the fic* ugh *cough cough*
Aerrow
2024-09-16 10:34:32 +0000 UTCHYPOTHETICALLY, if the writer of that fic ever were to read this i HOPE they know they're my favourite i literally been planning reading it again, smth abt the gloomy weather and That^ Johnny go together so well

2024-09-16 10:30:00 +0000 UTCPlease I know it's crazy, but All that's said.. changed me as a person. It altered my brain chemistry to the point of no return and I'm a better person now. I've never cried reading before, but with this I can't stop. It's beautiful. It's a masterpiece. It means so much to so many, hope our secret author knows this ❤️❤️😭❤️

2024-09-16 10:29:16 +0000 UTCAlmost started crying at Lunch. This fic means so much to me. I can't put into words how lovely the art is. It's so beautiful, I Love your Work!!!! <3 I also think about this fic nearly every day.
Blueleelia
2024-09-16 10:28:56 +0000 UTCThat fic is litteraly my roman empire. I think about it every single day, that's how bad I adore it ! Will honestly cherish forever how it's made me feel. Thank you for the extra content 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Also btw I always mean to say but if mysterious author had, let's say, a couple of OCs that were super duper cool and mysterious author ever felt like writting something even half as good as all that's said with said OCs....... I be down and would read in a heartbeat....... just saying if said author ever comes around here by the biggest of coincidence......
KingOnyx
2024-09-16 10:26:48 +0000 UTCMy God.. I'm starting to cry like a fool... the tears come out on their own... looking at my beloved Johnny and remembering that masterpiece from All that Said. It may be the beginning of autumn, it may be that this fic has changed me profoundly, it may be that I love Johnny so much 🩷 but all the emotions are coming out. Our beloved boy suffered so much I want to hug him so bad 🩷

Rox
2024-09-16 10:25:20 +0000 UTCIt was and is a comfort read and I truly believe it deserves to be printed and published, a full story there. A lot of darkness with splinters of light seeping through. And oh, the poem. Forever love for that one, and on the hunt if "certain someone" ever publishes anything else.

2024-09-16 10:24:52 +0000 UTCSorry i sound unhinged but i actually screamed. That fic is one of my favourites and probably what got me into this actual cod hell. Love it SO MUCH

mimi
2024-09-16 10:15:04 +0000 UTCI haven't read the fic (and most likely won't, I'm afraid of long fics. 🙈) but I love these drawings. 😊🩵

2024-09-16 10:13:30 +0000 UTCIf the author was here I'd tell them how much this fic means to me. And how dear I keep it in my heart. But alas, they are not, so they will have to do without this knowledge
