The Sword uploading old music videos and material to their channel in higher quality has me hoping we'll see a new album next year. Age of Winters and the subsequent three albums genuinely some of the finest metal ever performed. One of the best doom albums, period. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uLq...

the huntress

As a disabled person struggling to work and who's had to ask for MA a few times this year, I hate seeing grifters in my community constantly boast about buying expensive guitars after asking for MA. Nevermind the millionaire relatives or mysterious friends gifting them guitars all the time.

This assumes the privilege that one has a runway long enough for the PS3 to takeoff and land from when turned on.

I've paid Hans' initial vet costs and ER visits, as well as his medication I had to get. The last remaining bit will help me cover rent/utilities this month since I was out of work for about a week for him, not to mention having a tooth pulled. Again, thank you all.

gofund.me/2260627e8 Lowered the goal since I won't need to cover an 84 day antiviral treatment. Everything goes to paying bills and catching up after all the work I've missed. Thank you all, you've been amazing ❤️

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

Tooth pulled, unfortunately. Couldn't afford to save it after Hans vet costs. Took two people holding my jaw still to get it out without dislocating it, but thankfully my dentist is amazing so I felt no pain. What a fucking week

Thank you to all who've donated. The remaining funds will go to cover outstanding bills for both the vet and the bills I've let lapse over the last two weeks to pay for this, as well as paying back people who helped me front costs. Thank you all <3 www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...

Hans didn't make it. Despite IV fluids, hydration treatments, and $2000 of meds, tests, and exams, my little man was still dangerously dehydrated. My vet told me plain, if I took him home it would be cruelty to him. I wasn't ready for this, thank you to everyone who has helped. You're all amazing.

Hans really was the sweetest little guy

I spent late night and early morning at the ER for myself this time. Broken tooth decided it was time to kill me. Got home at 5am, slept for 3hrs until needing to give Hans his meds, bathed and dried him for his vet appt at 11am, then work from 430pm-1am. Please, anything helps, I'm exhausted.

Last night Hans got home and crawled out from his carrier and immediately curled up next to me. He's had such a hard time, but I have to try and get him through this. I'm not ready to lose him, he just came into my life.

My friend brett and his little guy are going thru it. They'd appreciate any help you can send

Sorry to keep spamming this. I heard back from the ER. Hans almost certainly has FIP, Feline Infectious Peritonitis. It's a serious and often fatal disease, but is treatable. I'm picking him up soon, he'll be on a treatment plan for 84 days.

1400 for tests so thank you to everyone who donated. The first part is paid for at least. Almost halfway, every little bit helps Little Hans.

I'm at the ER with him now cause he seems weaker and is refusing food. Anything helps, thank you all ❤️

youtu.be/U4vEh5s3otE?... This album has been keeping me alive for the last week

The support means everything to me. Almost halfway already. Nothing is as important to me as my cats, and Little Hans has already been through so much with the fire and recovery after. I want to make sure he's as comfortable as can be.

My little man isn't getting better. He may have to be kept overnight a few days to make sure he's hydrated and eating right, and I'm working on selling anything I own not essential to survival to get him what he needs. Already sold my bass today for half its worth. gofund.me/80e64e215

Thank you to everyone who has donated or shared. Little Man had some small but noticeable improvement yesterday I'm hoping continues!

Thank you everyone who's donated. When I got home from work today Hans did show a little improvement. It's slow going for him, so I'm hoping to keep that up. This is the sweetest little guy and he's only 4, I want to make sure he's around for a lot, lot longer.

Thank you to anyone who has helped with my MA requests. I Hans off at the vet this morning, he's in for a full examination. They don't think it's a urinary problem/illness, but a very bad trauma response. I feel a lot better knowing I can give him the care he needs.

Genuinely anything helps (MA links in quoted post). I'm still recovering from COVID, have an infected tooth from a previous infection, I covered costs for my sister's cat cremation last week cause he was a beloved family pet, and work is physically killing me. Grateful for anything.

My cat Hans has had a really bad PTSD response, he's been frozen in fear for over a day now, not moving at all. I have a vet appt Wednesday but am already hurting financially. My initial visit is $150, and while I don't think he's sick sick, I'm certain to have to do blood work. Anything helps.

Aside from vocals, my Pillars of Eternity album is done being tracked. Due to health/money issues I doubt I'll have this out this year, but I'm trying. Really happy with how this came out, was lots of fun to write and record, even if it was damn near impossible.

I want the guitar tone on the new Revocation quite badly. It's so GOOD.

Past few weeks have been tough. COVID, then (ongoing) recovery, and a family pet passed away last night, and I covered his cremation costs. Trying to sell some gear to cover costs, but if you have anything to spare, 'twould help me a lot.

Revisiting this album and this song, inspired by @kerstinhall.bsky.social's "Star Eater," a book where people do normal things to attain power/magic. Yes, normal things. One of my favorite songs I've done, wrote this within 24hrs of finishing the book lol. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNTe...

It's almost habit at this point that I highlight this and remind people this book had a profound effect on me, fundamentally altered the way I engage with my creativity and storytelling. The prose in this novel/series is truly musical. It affected me in the same way Disco Elysium did, for reference.

Do you remember? It’s my birthday today (yes, really)! That means I can invoke the sacred social media rites of the PROMO THREAD! let’s boogie

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

"Tears fall, but why am I crying? Don't I believe that there never is an end?" I've been getting chills to this lyric for almost 25yrs now, and it never gets old. I fuckin' love Iron Maiden.

If you still ask which sapphic is the handmaiden and which is the feudal lord in any relationship, you want to preorder DAUGHTER OF THE HUNT. www.read-forever.com/titles/k-ars...

Black Metal Archives went to sound the dog whistle but accidentally picked up a kazoo.

I'm so tired of people randomly needing to "give cred" or compliment the worst fucking people. Just shut your fucking mouths you fucking doorknobs. All I see is "yeah but this Nazi is super smart/cool in this one area." Shut up. Just shut the fuck up for fuck's sake you stupid fucks.

Please help Bex if you can. They've fought so hard for so long, and a little bit goes a long way.

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

I'm really tired of pretending that it isn't suspicious; that it isn't strange millionaire family members show up randomly, that mysterious benefactors gift high-end guitars with regularity. So tired of pretending it isn't a grift.

One of the hardest hitting black metal releases this year. Y'all need to hear it.

Dancer Beneath Shores of Fire is now on Spotify. All major streaming platforms soon to follow. open.spotify.com/album/19bQ1y...

Behind the scenes secrets. A lot of people liked the tone on @allieinchains.bsky.social's recent solo album, and now I reveal the secret and true architect behind the production.
