fressange

the romans assessed sex by voice, skeleton, and temperament. the talmud had four categories where we have two. then the enlightenment needed women excluded from citizenship and two thousand years of medicine got replaced by a checkbox. i wrote about what was lost.

Who is your favorite of Napoleon's original 18 Marshalls of the Empire and why is it Michel Ney?

i wrote something genuinely new every historical fiction writer projecting modern identity categories onto 18th-century characters needs to read this. every person who thinks "people haven't changed, there were always gay people" needs to read this. i don't say that lightly. I mean it.

wrote an essay on historical sexuality that i'm genuinely proud of. covers greek philosophy, roman pragmatism, georgian "particular friendships," and why modern identity framework was invented in 1869. drops tuesday. if you followed me for the napoleon/wellington stuff, this might be your thing.

two short kings who spent fifteen years trying to kill each other and accidentally invented the modern world

never have i felt more personally attacked by a post

this week's craft essay is for everyone still sprinkling "he crossed his arms" between dialogue and calling it physical description. about Primal, wordless storytelling, and building scenes that work on mute.

this week's craft essay is for everyone tired of being told they're morally suspect for liking complex characters. about diegetic writing, why compelling beats likeable, and why fiction isn't an instruction manual.

Owlcat Games featured the Deadstar Logbook on their gamedev resources page 😭 owlcat.games/learning genuinely honoured. there's incredible craft analysis on there. very grateful to be included. logbook.deadstar.black

made a windows app for myself i've been planning for 2 years because nothing like it existed. just a lightweight, simple ui for adding web links and local folder path links with imgs since i'm very visual-first, this has alrdy saved me minutes of time today hunting thru project files in explorer

ughh please look at the stylisation, how the blackwork "melts" . Roberto de la Torre kills it every time. also the title treatment of the fangs + scales? chef kiss

what if your⚓officers' uniforms didn't just show rank, but encoded what gods they survived meeting? wrote about designing naval uniforms as worldbuilding—color as theology, insignia as mythology, and why competence can look like divinity 🔱 full craft breakdown:

The skeletal remains of mutants unfathomable have shaped the toxic swamps hiding in the district under the city of Scintilla. So the creature you see in the concept art continued its lifeless existence, becoming an integral part of the noxious world. #Warhammer40000 #DarkHeresy

you improve faster studying why someone else's piece works than by only posting your own. ego protects stagnation. curiosity builds craft. the best artists I know engage deeply with peers' work. It's not optional--it's how you grow.

if Origen is stillness, Saren is the storm that can't stop moving. wrote about designing a Rogue Trader whose entire identity is performance over void—motion as survival, gilt as armor, control as barely-contained panic. full craft breakdown:

latest update, 65k words and lots of revising, retexturing and restaging i thought i had everything planned out in detail but turns out that's somehow the easy part anyway beta readers kinda like it
