Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
If you like kaiju and mecha, read the first book in my MODERN CARAPACE series: O Bounty Of Thy Ribs. This 72-page graphic novel is the story of Esther, a park ranger who pilots the Tarantula Hawk, a prototype mecha, and uses it to protect desert-dwelling insectoid kaiju from poachers.
