Thanks so much for the warm response on this one, y'all. Means a lot. Also, editors: I am available to write essays like this and much more for your fine Internet publications! I specialize in horror but I write about lots of stuff. If I can join your freelance pitch pool, please let me know!

The wild reaction and incessant fan demands surrounding THE PITT Season 2 got me riled up, so I decided to take to @popheist.com and use this particular fandom moment to make a very important point about fiction. The Story Owes You Nothing.

LMAO But Why Tho? Dying because of a shitty developer is not what I had on my bingo card. We have 48 hours to figure out what to do for a new host and find a developer to help us.

I love my babies so much 🥹🥹🥹 #Castlevania #CastlevaniaNocturne Thank you for your hard work @samueldeats.bsky.social @adamdeats.bsky.social @tendermiasma.com & everyone who worked on the series and books ❤️

Hahaha Jk!.... unless?

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is coming, featuring Trevor Belmont. 👀✨ Castlevania's BACK!! 😄

Set 23 years after Castlevania Dracula's Curse, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse follows a young Belmont through an all new 2D action-exploration journey.

The Castlevania series turns 40 this year, and Konami has announced a new 2D game to celebrate the occasion. https://bit.ly/466qUOD

Today we lost our perfect boy, Fiyero. I’m devastated, frankly, and I’m barely holding it together. Fiyero spent most days being loving and present, opting to stay nearby during even the busiest of days. He was my shadow, truly, and I don’t know if I’ll ever feel whole again without him.

Jesus fucking holy hell. This is what you should get loud about. If you have any Republican representatives, call them now -and repeatedly. Do what you can to stop this from passing. This is a nightmare.

One of the best games of the 32-bit era. I think @samueldeats.bsky.social and I played it non-stop for years.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm kami and I love character-driven visual storytelling ✨ Experienced and interested in doing more directing, storyboard, and animation. Available for freelance! ⭐ kamiareo.com ✉️ kamille.areo(@)gmail

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/KDYTiwF

I’m in the middle of Arkansas and saw…whatever this is.

Sigh.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one. My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

The worst part of being a former guidebook author is that I have BOXES of old books I worked on, along with friend’s books AND Japanese book references. I can’t bring myself to just get rid of them…it’s the worst when moving. 😭

We’re moving to a new place, which means several boxes of Castlevania merch and games are going into storage. Goodnight, my loves. See you soon.

This is how authoritarianism cements itself in power and crushes opposition, all while the eggheads debate if it's fascism or something else.

I did this the other day. There were two people sitting outside of a place for some sort of survey or donations and one of them commented on my CV shirt. They then started telling their coworker/friend about how much they liked the show, and I just smiled and slinked away like a weirdo. 😬😂

Michigan Avenue right now.

Can’t argue with that, TBH.

I did! I wrote for Brady Games for many years before I ended up in animation!

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Hrm, the plot thickens — it appears several book listings on LibGen have incorrect crediting, which means the list of books Anthropic mined may be WAY bigger than authors know. I found several of my old Brady Games books on there, incorrectly credited.

WELP…Signing up. 😑

This cut was a REAL challenge! For Nocturne Episode 3, we wanted Edouard to have a brilliant felt coat with a pattern, but drawing that would be very complex. In his big turnaround shot, I put in a lot of care to make the pattern have shape and dimension. Lotsa steps went into that. Take a look!

I binge watched all of Castlevania Noctorne and man what a ride. Great work yall

Friends, we got a call to action 👇 We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi! This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 ! If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

8 years ago I didn't have a single clue of what I was getting myself into. 8 years later and Castlevania—the games, the shows, and everything in between—is one of my most favorite things in the world. Huge thanks to @samueldeats.bsky.social, @adamdeats.bsky.social, and the entire Powerhouse crew ❤️

I can’t believe I slept on Run with the Wind. It’s shaping up to be my favorite sports anime, I think? It’s at least up there with Haikyuu season 2…

Update: The bill passed the Senate and is headed back to congress! Unsure if this amendment passed or no, but start calling your house representatives to say NO to the ban of statewide regulations for AI! States should be able to regulate GenAi tech! Better scripts will soon emerge so stay tuned!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Expedition 33’s final beach puzzle involving ladder climbing to avoid projectiles is a level of psychological violence I haven’t experienced since Sekiro’s Isshin fight.

Julia Belmont Another commission for @wheeljack64.bsky.social thanks again!
