cw// blood and implied suicide (Zending)
"It's a long way down...
but he can't stop you"
(better, bloodier version under the cut +artist notes)
artist notes:
In my bigger compositions I always add small details for the curious viewer. So if you'd like to seek them out on your own you can ignore this. But I wanted to talk about this piece, because I love love love it.
The main thing is that, obviously, the yellow/golden hands are supposed to represent the narrator. However, I made it so that each set of hands represent each fall that Stanley takes. The most faded ones on the shoulders are for the first and second fall. The second slightly faded ones on his chest are for the third fall. And the last ones holding Stanley's hand are for the final fall. (At least if I'm remembering correctly there's four).
You can see the hands getting progressively bloodier and weaker. There's not enough strength to try and hold Stanley back. The last and most gentle set, are just asking him not to do it. If you look close at the "please..." you can see a question mark after it. Because it's technically a question, but one the Narrator already knows the answer to.
Also the Narrator can't stop him, because he's not actually there. If you look at the small Stanley, you don't see any of the hands on him. Stanley reaching out to the side is him holding the rail, not holding the Narrator's hands. Big Stanley is to show what's happening metaphorically.
There's more, but I've talked enough. I hope you enjoy! I spent a loot of time on this one.

When a true baby ghost is born— a ghost not born of dying, but rather through the desire of another ghost— they are little more than a core with wispy ectoplasm emanating from them for about a month. During said month, they take on influence from their surroundings in order to figure out the form they’ll take, hence why so many young ghosts look like their parents.
Because they aren’t fully formed until a month after their birth, the parent or parents will take on a far more aggressive, primal form in order to protect their child. The parent’s form will become incredibly monstrous, and their size will increase, with triple their normal size being most common among parents. Their mental state also becomes incredibly instinctual, higher intelligence temporarily being replaced by aggression towards anyone the ghost doesn’t consider family. They stay in this state until the baby is fully formed.
Of course, Danny “don’t worry about it” Phantom forgets to add this bit of trivia to his explanation to his fellow heroes as to why he was taking paternity leave. In his defense, he didn’t expect them to visit during that month.
And he definitely didn’t expect his brooding brain to latch onto most everyone who visited as “part of his brood.”

In the myriadic year of our Lord—the ten thousandth year of the King Undying, the kindly Prince of Death!— Gideon Nav packed her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and she escaped from the House of the Ninth.
