So it turns out Gorillaz is pretty dope. Who woulda thunk it?

@franbautistart.bsky.social did a wonderful, incredible job of bringing Florentine, one of the MCs of my novel, to life! I love it so much! Truly stunning! Thank you so so much! 🏴‍☠️⚔️😍🥰

✨ C0mmi for @kassieschu.bsky.social ✨ Thank you so much!

Florentine heads out to find their stolen backpacks and discovers that the war has had harsh consequences for the town of Caiston and its people. Chapter IX of my debut novel, Dreams of Sapphos, is available now! ⚔️

I love how much passion indie and smaller creators have for their work! Not that creators working in bigger companies don't, but due to indie's having to do so much of the marketting and interaction themselves, it always feels like a more direct showing of that passion, y'know?

The new Ghost in the Shell looks PEAK! Between that and the new Patlabor coming this year, I'm so hyped!

Drop something red #art ❤️

The default control setup for Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway on PS3 is unhinged! And, for whatever reason, it refuses to save my remap

I love following indie authors and finding out new things you can do. It sounds dumb, but finding out that someone just wrote, like, ten different epilogues for a collected edition of short stories is so cool! I'm so excited!

If we destroyed capitalism and built a Star Trek society, you could just give yourself new genitals for free instead of having to go through health care? I’m just saying… Quark did it twice in one day!

Existence is so heavy right now

Continued Xena/Callisto sins from my patreon last month

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

G-Saviour is such an underrated movie that doesn't deserve the hate it gets from the Gundam community or Sunrise. It's not perfect, but for a 90s TV movie with the budget of a dream and a potato, it's sooo much better than it has any right to be!

Shaken by her experience with the Gentleman Bandit, Lena gets smashed drunk and makes a complete fool of herself. Chapter VIII of my debut novel, Dreams of Sapphos, is available now! ⚔️

I'm really loving the Raiders of the Lost Ark novelization so far, but damn... They did not need to go so hard on ensuring we know Indy slept with Marion when she was a child. They did not have to have him constantly comparing her adult and child self. It's dragging down an otherwise great book.

My partner and I have recently started a game of Vampire: The Masquerade. So far, the game itself and the World of Darkness setting are incredible fun! But the core rulebook is dogshit. It has the worst layout of any TTRPG I've played and seems to defy logic and readability at every possible turn 🧛🏻‍♀️

I told myself I wouldn't pre-order, but it's me! I'm the target audience! Black Flag, combined with Black Sails a few years later, is the reason why I love pirates so much!

Interacting on bluesky feels so awkward. Like, sometimes I'll see a post I want to comment on but don't because it feels like I'm just walking into someone's house and joining a conversation uninvited

I’ll literally not see my fiancée for an evening and feel all the emotion of a crying Victorian woman standing at an ocean cliff wondering when her love will return from sea

I really need to track down a copy of the Sly Cooper HD Trilogy and Sly 4. Been wanting to play those games forever and I've been hit by the pulp adventure bug recently. It's why I've had the urge to replay Uncharted, and Tomb Raider, and work on my adventure story...

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

That time Hercules threw down with an ancient Greek mech suit was AWESOME!

Nico Robin 🌸

I think the greatest trick for getting good at creative work i know is - finish making as many mediocre things as possible. Just finish stuff, again and again. Share it or don’t, but put a bow on it, put it aside, make the next thing, repeat.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

A blast from the past

Reading smut always makes me want to write smut

I am...not off to a good start with this whole author thing and it's just making me miserable

Happy Trans Day of Visibility !!! #roguethebat #sonic

The Metro games are like the last surviving species from a genus that doesnt really exist anymore. This kinda intentionally clunky, narrative heavy fps focused more on immersion and selling the atmosphere than like smooth gameplay. I love them

My emotional support historical fiction of all time. #LadyOscar #TheRoseOfVersailles #ROV

It really frustrates me that we continue to nominate and give awards for queer content to big AAA assholes doing the bare minimum with their eyes rolling and lips curled when there are so many queer indies out there putting their hearts on platters that get ignored because they don't have the budget

“But as a writer, I'm tired of settling for a pittance. I'm beyond exhausted at being told "this is the best you can get." I'm done with the world's richest people and companies stealing my stories and acting as if theft isn't theft when they do it.” AMEN

Fuck cancer! Adam Hughes is one of the greatest artists of all time. His illustrations for Tomb Raider, among so many other things, are legendary! I hope he's able to recover!

Kassie isn't just an author pseudonym, it's me. Like, really. It's the name that fits my non-binary identity the most and represents the femme shit I wish I was more of. I'm pretty masc irl. Not that being non-binary requires being femme/androgynous. But I also wish I had a customisable cyber-body.

I sometimes think it would be fun to collaborate with other creators on stuff, but always dismissed it because I'm, like, nobody. But it hit me today that I've got works out there in the world, examples of my writing. It's actually a possibility, however distant, now, and that makes me hella hyped!

Do you like Xena: Warrior Princess and Hong Kong cinema? Swashbuckling action, sprawling adventure and gunpowder fantasy? Well, I think you might like my currently ongoing debut novel Dreams of Sapphos! ⚔️

Woo! Woo! The next chapter of my debut novel, Dreams of Sapphos, has dropped! LET'S GOOO! 🎉🎊🥰 Florentine and Lena face off against the charming and deadly Gentleman Bandit! ⚔️

2 Broke Girls isn't a gay show, but Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs have chemistry falling outta their asses. It would be infinitely better if they get together instead of with whatever perfectly inoffensive white guys they'll inevitably end up with

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within isn't a good movie, and yet I HAVEN'T STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS! What does the universe mean by this?!

I'm so hyped for the Athena Voltaire Summer Special, and upcoming Complete Adventures! I had no idea the series existed until last week and I adore historical action adventure stories with leading ladies! We really need more modern series in the genre because they're just so good!

Littke something to pin on Insta after the wave of A/I slop from this weekend

I just had a moment of insanity with the word "Guard" just looking weird as hell and wondering if it was always spelled like that

Toyed with the idea of doing a series of retrospective blog posts about the experience of writing my debut novel Dreams of Sapphos. Then I realised it took somewhere close to four years and I can't remember much of anything about it 😅

Athena Voltaire is a 1930s pulp-style adventure in the spirit of the Mummy, the Rocketeer, and Indiana Jones. Originally launched as a webcomic, it received an Eisner Award nomination in 2005. On @kickstarter.com for 4 more days—with these cool variant covers! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ste...
