@pulpmusicalsfortnight2024 asked for horror for day two, so here's my go at it. Also, uh, sorry for the sads. (Rip Amos & Elijah.)

If you think this piece is cool, just wait until day four's art is posted! I worked on horror and magic together and they're a really cool duo, if I duo say so myself. 🤭

Day 3 myth

Inspired by this photo:

I like cryptograms, and I've been working on decoding some of the messages in The Book of Bill. I wrote down 4 of the substitution ciphers on an index card before I ran out of room. This doesn't cover all the codes, just the most common ones.

@pulpmusicalsfortnight2024 day two: horror + alternate: possession

if Kal had been slightly more sly with how he went about things earlier on, Gunpowder and Rum, Part 3 could have gone a little bit differently, I think

(an alternate version and my nonsensical explanations are under the cut, in case you're interested!)

alternate version, because I couldn't choose between the blue and the green and wanted to include both:

and here's my explanation for how Samuel was possessed here, although it's certainly not the only way this could have played out (I took some creative liberty with how Kal's fog works, too, so it doesn't entirely agree with canon):

in Gunpowder and Rum, Part 1, Kal doesn't do anything differently; he messes with Samuel's mind a little bit, but disappears once Rose arrives (same as canon)

Kal possesses AJ in Gunpowder and Rum, Part 2, however, at the end of the song, when Samuel comes in, he manages to trick Samuel into having a drink with AJ. the concoction he gives to Samuel is one he has engineered to be "dormant" until activated by some of his fog.

Samuel goes to Margaret, still suspicious about AJ (I would imagine Kal said something similar at the end of the encounter to what he said in canon), Something Familiar and Antikythera happen

at the beginning of Gunpowder and Rum, Part 3, Kal senses his chance and sends in The Fog™, taking Samuel's body and leaving AJ's body unconscious for him to return to as a back-up plan.

I will open the fucking TikTok app just to watch this video multiple times
