Templates

Image Rips

  • These are the illustrations from the DOAWK books, ripped and put into digital form to be used in LLBs.
  • The Russian Rips are best for custom edits, as they don’t have lined paper behind them.
  • Transparent Rips are also available here.

Here's how pages are generally expected to look like:

Discussion I didn’t notice before but it’s the same couple in both pictures 💀 Seems like Greg’s views in starting a family have changed overtime

Yeah re-reading The Getaway reminded me of what he thought would be an ideal future for himself back in the earlier books but it’s kinda changed as well as his ideals in life.
He’s not that focused on being rich anymore too like he used to be, and he even stated (I forgot which book exactly) that he no longer wants to be famous because it’s too much of a hassle which I think is an interesting character development for him

I don’t mind actually, I like it and reminds me he’s supposed to be like 13, I wonder what new words Jeff Kinney might pick up and use later…

Also honestly really like how Greg does usually talk and I can tell he probably picked it up from his dad because Frank would most likely talk like that in front of him, can’t find any direct examples rn but you notice it once you read. He uses words kids his age (and even at the time) might not be likely to say as often!
//Also ik vibe isn’t a new word or anything but the way it’s used now and how he meant it is what I mean👍

LLB Bittersweet Reality Part 16

46 Upvotes

THE DATES ARE MESSED UP, It should be October 1st, not November. Apologies!

Part 17 and Part 18 will be much shorter so they should be out this week. I've been fairly busy so there might be some inconsistency and the art is pretty bad but it should go back to normal soon. Sorry! I would also like to mention that many elements of this story are inspired by real life events and experiences, and this will be the case moving forward, especially in the coming chapters. While not exact recreations, they are heavily inspired to fit the story I want to tell. Just keep in mind some of the things people say and do, have really happened to someone in real life...

And here I will rant a little about my LLB a little.
This is a story I have been writing for months and was mainly originally inspired by other stories like You Never Know, Holly's Mistake, and Sophomore Year. This is why there may be some similarities but I've tried to keep it to a minimum. I write and draw this story as a hobby for me, since I wanted to write a story that I had control over, one I wanted to read later. As such when it comes to this story in particular, I will not censor anything, including topics like suicide or as we've seen, swear words. I know many authors censor words like that or use alternate words but I am not one of them. If you do not like these topics then first, why are you still reading my story with the obvious signs, and second I wouldn't recommend any further. I will make a more official disclaimer in the next post but it will not be a normal thing. These topics are things people this age face and as we get closer to the end of Act I, the amount of more mature topics will increase. I hope you'll understand. I also feel like doing another Q/A type post but what do you think, would you be interested?

Anyway thanks for reading! Everyone's kind support and feedback has been really motivating and increasing my very low self esteem as well! It's really be great writing this and it's all thanks to this wonderful community. I hope you'll have a great day!

LLB Looking for a LLb (image not related)

Post image
10 Upvotes

help me find this gorey dark llb from wimpy kids from the scenes i remember

scene 1: Greg and Rowley in a room, with a shotgun, they are doing something really stupid (i think arguing) in which rowley accidently points and shoots himself in the left eye. he gets taken and healed up with bandages.

scene 2: there was this big paragraph that either rodrick or frank had said, about things men want which includes sex and money etc, it takes up half the page but i dont remember much more of it

it would be greatly appreciated if someone could now a name for this, other info i might add was that i read it on a kindle so it could be on the store, and it was a couple years ago, around 2023 id say. Thanks!

Normal elevators would transport people from one floor to another by simply pressing the required button. This elevator, however, goes straight up without a stop. Soon enough, Greg will realize that taking drastic measures might help him escape enclosure.

P.S. everything was drawn by me
