Forgot to post it here but I wrote another flash piece for COS' latest Warhammer fiction contest. Excited to share that my entry 'TRACHINIAE' was selected as the top entry! This was one where I felt like all the parts were arranged meticulously and it feels good to learn readers / judges enjoyed it.

Just finished Pretenders myself and I think it’s my favorite thing I’ve read in a very long time. I had a sense for where the story might go, but @aptshadow.bsky.social always manages to surprise in the best way.

Been sitting on this news for a while! There's going to be a Children of Time TTRPG courtesy of the amazing folk at Rowan Rook and Decard (Heart, Spire, DIE, Eat the Reich and many more).

I was a Paul Tassi defender for the longest time but his latest Marathon article reads like the caricature critic he is so often accused of being that I truly cannot. You don’t actually have to publish 10k words of doomer goofball shit just because you don’t like a genre.

I will never respect 3D SpongeBob. It’s so strange to me. It’s like if the Simpsons just kept doing this shit and never called attention to it.

whoever at @greenfi.bsky.social designed the new debit cards - who hurt you? do you need help? How did yall go from the eye catching and aesthetically pleasing design on the left to “what if it was flat green with the logo?”

Very excited to share that my original Warhammer 40,000 flash fiction piece 'The Quiet Hours' was selected as an Editor's Choice inclusion for @coldopenstories.bsky.social 24th Warhammer fast fiction contest, themed 'The Enemy Within'. 40k.coldopenstories.com/the-quiet-ho...

I want everyone to have the things they need to survive and thrive but if you hit publish on this article you should lose your fucking job forever

Another slick shot of my spacer getup at Neotropolis 2025 from photographer Yuri Nevrov! I of course cannot wait for next year. Too many costume projects on my mind, from @owlcatgames.bsky.social's Osiris Reborn to an idea for a s'pht compiler from Marathon that won't leave my brain.

Terribly excited for this. Tyrant Philosophers is quickly becoming one of my favorite recent fantasy series and I've been dying to revisit Ilmar, and specifically the Reproach since I finished City of Last Chances.

MIDA x HEALTH ANTI:REV+ 2893 CHILDREN OF THE COMFORT CAGE, SPIN SPUN SPIN SPIN

In the belt, we call this business casual. Got Expanse cosplay projects in the brain big time after the Osiris Reborn announcement from @owlcatgames.bsky.social Really want to tackle that Gemini belter hardsuit in the trailer. Obsessed with the designs! Photo by Yuri Nevrov.

We are excited to announce The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a new sci-fi action RPG based on The Expanse. Become a captain of the most advanced ship in the universe, gather a crew, and challenge one of the most powerful enemies humankind has ever faced. Watch the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIQi...

Suited up, ready for boarding action. #cosplay #theexpanse

Golden Bough crews from the Nyngan and Sunfacer review attack plans before sealing their lids and depressurizing the hull for combat posture. 📸: Yuri Nevrov at Neotropolis 2025 #cosplay #neotropolis #theexpanse #scifi #cyberpunk #propmaking #larp

It was windy. It was cold. It was dirty and cloudy and rainy. All I wanna do is go back. First shot of the Golden Bough crews off the Nyngan and Sunfacer, courtesy of the talented Preston Yarger. #cosplay #propmaking #neotropolis #theexpanse #cyberpunk #scifi #space #fanart

I should have been patient because I learned some new things and I like this version much more! #marathon #cosplay #mida #somewhereintheheavens #fanart

Just a few short weeks until we’re back on Kepler 609C for #Neotropolis! Can’t wait to variously pretend to be a street rat, asteroid belt pirate, and corpo gangoon in the dirt for a week.

The Sentinels are Kepler-609c’s largest and most visible corporate security operation, often fielding credit-hungry recruits with prior military service in the Cygni Federation, but just as frequently conscripting muscle from the population of the megablocks of Neotropolis. #Neotropolis #Larp

Of all of last year's last minute Neotropolis projects, I'm really happy with how this hardcase/chest rig combo came out after I realized *the night before the event* that I didn't have pockets on my spacesuit. Points awarded if you recognize the patch! #Cosplay #Neotropolis #Scifi #Propmaking

Part of making this account was to make space to share and engage with my hobbies away from The Horrors, but given recent events I am obligated to say: fuck nazis, fuck neo nazis, fuck fascists, fuck transphobes, fuck authoritarians, and fuck billionaires. If this upsets you, I won’t miss you!

Just finished this one and loved it. Great ending, hoping for more in this series before all is said and done.

Cosplayers, spacers, and netrunners - go follow Starside Armory for some of the coolest original scifi and cyberpunk props, collectibles, costume bits, and surface to orbit anti ship launchers this side of the galaxy.

A bit over halfway through @aptshadow.bsky.social’s Days of Shattered Faith and I can’t get enough of this setting and these characters. This series but especially this novel really rewards you for -reading- the series. Great little twists and turns I can’t discuss in more detail without spoilers!

We’re heading into the future again. Catch me at the Atomic Cafe. 📸: Preston Yarger & Team for Neotropolis 2024 highlight reel #cosplay #scifi #cyberpunk #theexpanse #propmaking #costumes #space

So possibly one of the coolest gifts I’ve ever received - one of the Prax plants from the Rocinante’s galley! I gotta figure out how to display it with my belter gear. #TheExpanse #Scifi #screamingfirehawks #cosplay

Spacers from Callisto, Pallas and Vesta make the long jump to Kepler-609c to offload legitimately-salvaged* cargo in Kepler’s grey markets, away from the prying eyes of inner system authorities. 📸: Preston Yarger #cosplay #scifi #propmaking #cyberpunk #screamingfirehawks #space

also, obligatory not quite daily space suit post - three dirty rockhoppers stop by Zeke’s for a bulb of Reactor Coolant. I’m finally starting the rebuild of my helmet electronics package although I don’t know if I’m going to get everything wired up to a touch screen this time around. #cosplay

Gang I’m getting my own FDM printer and I’m so excited I will be able to stare at filament dry at home instead of bumming time on other people’s machines. Neptune 4 Max for the wombo build volume - I know they have some issues but I ‘learned’ on an Ender 3 so I’m ready for the jank.

A Sentinel unit patrols the main drag between MB-01 and the Mega-Mall in the city of Neotropolis, on Kepler-609C. Originally part of a larger corporate conglomerate, Sentinel officers now lead conscripts and recruits through the streets and alleys of Neotropolis for the highest bidder. #cosplay

Just discovered that Johnny Mnemonic in black and white exists and need a copy badly.

Keighley is on stage, stomping his feet and clapping like he forgot what hands are. Somewhere in the audience, a Bloodborne player twitches and black ichor leaks from their eyelids. The lights dim. *A Ubisoft logo appears.*

I’ve been enjoying the new Indiana Jones game, in part for the puzzles and exploration, but mostly because you can lay fascists out with a shower brush and the result is always funny

I will stop spacesuitposting when hell freezes over! Bonkers lighting in this shot of my v1 belter suit from Neotropolis 2023. The Dutch flight suit got replaced with a proper vac suit in v2. 📸 by Jonny Stalnaker @shotbyjonny #Cosplay #cyberpunk #theexpanse #scifi #screamingfirehawks #larp

On interior Belter helmet lights: you can see my setup in the first photo - undimmed LED strip above faceplate is too bright and blows out vision. The screen used prop on the right features smaller LED strips both above and below the faceplate, with semi opaque plastic strips as dimmers! #TheExpanse

“You may think that you’re scared, but you’re not. That isn’t fear. That’s your sharpness, that’s your power. We are Belters. Nothing in the void is foreign to us. The place we go is the place we belong.” Shot by Yuri Nevrov at Neotropolis 2024 #TheExpanse #Cosplay #Scifi #Cyberpunk #Propmaking

Another shot I LOVE - Thomas Kerns got this one at Neotropolis 2023 when I wasn’t paying attention but all the lights were *just right*. #cosplay #scifi #larp #theexpanse #cyberpunk

Golden Bough gangoons getting up to no good. Shot by Cormac Kehoe aka @evelbunny at Neotropolis 2024! #Cosplay #TheExpanse

Here’s a fun one for ya - side by side comparison of my first version of the Belter suit, and this year’s much improved situation. The good photo is by @kuf-spawn.bsky.social who captured this project at Neotropolis in all sorts of very cool ways. #cosplay #scifi

Incapable of looking at this picture or I start checking prices on MiG helmets to make more Belter brain buckets. Many steps to convert the TK-1s into screen-accurate vacuum helmets but it’s a really fun process and it taught me a lot! #cosplay #propmaking #scifi #TheExpanse

The one photo of my Neotropolis 2022 fit I really enjoy, shot by Preston Yarger. This character is a combat netrunner with a corpo security outfit. Head gear and rig by Evan Ohl! I made minor modifications to the rig and did the Kang Tao G58 Smartgun, my first time working with 3D printing! #cosplay

I had no idea Dune: Prophecy was based on one of the Brian Herbert books until I put the first episode on but I think I enjoyed it! Not a BH novel enjoyer but it was wild to see them throwing neo-cymeks on screen in like the *first frame* almost.

Out to Saturn, get the ice, back to Ceres, out to Saturn, get the ice, back to Ceres, out to Saturn, get the ice, back to Ceres, out to Saturn, stop at Phoebe, get the ice.

The Sentinels of Kepler-609c act as security and hired guns for megacorps and moguls with deep pockets, and often patrol the megablocks of Neotropolis enforcing the edicts of the highest bidder. Excellent costumes by Mark Dubois and photography by Mike Darling and NeuroLab Visuals, at Neotropolis!

The incredible photographer who shot and edited some of my favorite pics of this outfit has joined the Bluesky party - go follow @kuf-spawn.bsky.social for some of socal’s best cosplay photography.

For some ports of call, Golden Bough OPA crews prove to be as much a menace stationside as they are on the float. Shot at Neotropolis 2024 by Preston Yarger, featuring myself and mi beratnas Anders and Philippe. #cosplay #TheExpanse
