Everyone knows crazy people have symptoms, not spirituality, so when LB Lee's brain started vomiting up mythopoetic nightmares, they presumed it a breakdown and bunkered down to wait it out.

It didn't work, and after four years, Mori said, "Fine! I'll handle it!"

Herein, find one loony's stagger-dance through the thorny wilds of the otherordinary, including:

• The squishy nature of magic, religion, and belief
• Divine parasitism
• Murdering the god in your head for mental health purposes!
• Boning ghosts, a personification of death, and otherordinary beings
• Building a path with the most undignified materials imaginable

216 pages, black and white, mix of text, illustration, and comics, 5.5" x 8.5". Alt-text included in base file.
Furthermore, as the winner of the fan poll this month, Rawlin's Story has been uploaded! (Text-only version here.) 37 page sketch comic of Rawlin describing her own evolution and that of her relationship with Mori. References past abuse and coming back from it.

Dammit, thanks for letting me know, because we DO save all images 01, 02, etc. for that reason and it’s good to know that our zipper resize program ALSO renames all the files and ruins our work. How frustrating.

EDIT: waaaait. Something’s screwy here. I just checked my own copy of the zip and all the images have the zeroes as described above. If your phone is still putting them out of order, I am completely stumped as to why. I guess we will wait and see if anyone else reports this problem, because other than giving up page numbering entirely in favor of alphabetic sequencing instead (which I don’t relish), I don’t know how to fix that.

We tested it now and apparently it was actually our phone's native zip unpacking function. If I use a different (actually good) app to unpack the same file, the file numbers work fine. Weird! But it works for us now, so problem solved anyway.

Huh! Maybe I should add a note or something for mobile users. What kind of phone and apps were you using? Maybe we can spare other readers your inconvenience!

It's a Xiaomi, and the native apps all suck. (We had to install a file manager that won't freeze the screen to show us ads every time we open it.) I'd maybe add a note that they're supposed to be numbered correctly, so if people run into this issue they'll know that it's their device. But also it did work correctly when I tried doing this with a non-crappy app, so maybe the note isn't necessary!

For now, gonna mentally put a pin on it and see if anyone else reports this problem. It shouldn’t be hard to add a txt into future zips labeled like 00ReadMe.txt with a note about this. (I admittedly dread going through all the other zips, adding, and reuploading.)

Your phone sounds evil.

Sounds good to us!

Yes, yes it is.
