I've largely stopped using social media as a matter of health and safety but there's a pitch event on and your girl's gotta promote herself

GODKILLER by way of Terry Pratchett When magic is mundane, it takes a lot for a VAPORMAGE to be special. Kell Rusalka, runt of the group, ain't got it. But when the world seems bent on destroying them and their home, they'll need their fellow outcasts to bring it out of them. #QuestPit #Q #SFF #A

Gritty continues to be a real one

Here's a breakdown:

Come read VAPORMAGE, we've got: ✨ Magic & magic accessories! 🚘 Anti-war road trip adventure! 🔬 Critiques of immoral technology and capitalism! 📱 Blatant anachronisms! 🏳️‍⚧️ Queer heroes and anti-heroes! ⚔️ Moral quandries about revenge and redemption! 😼 A cat! vapormage.com #P2Ppit #A #Q #SF #F #LGBT

GODKILLER via Terry Pratchett Nobody believes advertising. Especially when it sells a VAPORMAGE as an unbeatable master of sorcery. But if Kell, the last vapormage, is going to survive the knights and gods threatening their life, they'll have to live up to the hype. #P2Ppit #A #Q #SF #F #LGBT

Apologies to followers there's another pitch event on today

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

Honor his memory by doing something strange, unraveling a riddle within yourself, and working on your favorite projects.

You expect me to be interested in a song that's made by ai. A thing that couldn't care less if someone puts it's heart in a blender

There is nothing to suck the wind out of a room like saying, "Check out this thing I made with time, effort, and years of practice!" and someone hits you with the "that's so hard i can't do that i obviously suck" like damn bitch!! don't make me the conductor in your pity parade!! Practice!

Love to realize too late a grammatical error in my novel pitch 🎉 I blame character limits

Okay _now_ I have pitches written for the pitch event tomorrow

Every now and then you just need to re-watch Clue

Ah yes, the "social" part of "social networks", the part I have no competence in whatsoever

Do always enjoy watching the end-of-GDQ pop-offs

today in refusing to learn the lesson: - bought 4 Bloomburrow packs ($20) - first pack has Innkeeper's Talent ($19.40) and Heartfire Hero ($1.50) The critters are on my side

Compliment of the day: being told I have an energy that implies I am or was part of LoadingReadyRun

Of my main four, I think I'm most like Sheila: grumpy, lonely, asexual. But I suspect I wouldn't get to be friends with any of them for the same reason we're so different: I'm too passive. These guys _do_ things. Sometimes reluctantly, but still. (Eh, thinking on it, Kell and I could vibe alright)

This #BluePitHype can go for the whole Vapormage party: Kell _needs_ to have their uniform if they're in public. Non-negotiable. Sheila is not possessive or sentimental. She makes do. Alejandro isn't dressed if he isn't armed. Plenty of blades. Tobias would like a cup of tea, if you're offering?

Starting #BluePitHype today with Kell Kell's biggest strength is kinda literal, they're maybe the best mage the world has right now. Weakness? Well, good luck getting them to believe that. They insist they're the worst, bottom of the class. If they're the best, all the other mages must be dead...

music is really loud math

Suppose I should #BluePitHype Hi I'm Zoe, a techie who hates tech so I made a queer SFF adventure novel about it Been making up stories and worlds all my life and I want folks to see 'em, so, gotta write 'em Inspirations range from P.K. Dick to Final Fantasy, pick and choose like a buffet y'know

A fair amount of Vapormage is, if I'm honest, the residue of stupid jokes I made in the course of writing it that have been edited into being completely unrelated to where they came from

Should I be worried if the coffee shop is playing Hotline Miami music

Only three days into the new year and I already get to tell a recruiter for an AI company to fuck off into the sun 🎉

Oh no I'm poking at typography again

Continuing the Dark Souls 1 rando seed from Christmas, it's time for Blighttown watch.hupfen.stream

Let's make something clear for 2025 There is NO ethical way to use AI gen. You are using it? Ok, but don't try to gaslight people, explaining that the way you do it, isnt problematic, hurtful and wasteful. Cause that is NOT a thing! Happy new year!

Starting the year with a lesbian engagement so I guess this party I wasn't invited to is alright

I am gonna make it Through this year If it kills me youtu.be/ii6kJaGiRaI?...

I am at a New Year's party I know nobody at the party Nobody at the party knows the guy who invited me to the party What a surreal end to the year

So before the end of the year I would like to tell on myself about something very stupid in re: Vapormage Question: how do you name fantasy characters? One answer is to give everyone made-up names based on an elaborate linguistic architecture you make The other is: just use normal-ass names

It is really tricky to find someone to commission for the Vapormage book cover when I don't have any idea what I want the Vapormage book cover to look like
