I finally finished this, then put off scanning it for another while because it had to be pieced together from four scans, which is never fun.

I adored Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach trilogy, but the movie, Annihilation, hit me directly in the id with its overlapping of delicate natural beauty, body horror, and exploration of transformation and otherness. I referenced the Florida park the setting was based on, and wove the pokeberries throughout because they’re a natural mutagen and teratogen, as well as being tenacious plants of waste spaces, and a bright element i could use to tie the whole thing together.

Look at this, right now.
