Idk how but thought bubble has once again made their lanyards out a cursed material upon which no ink will ever dry

It's a weird manga tonally but I'm enjoying Hoshin Engi. Sci-fi sort-of-retelling of a famous Chinese epic about gods and demons but with some fun Toriyama-esque metahumor

I left for Harrogate pretty early this morning so here's a rushed map of where to find us at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend!!! Wheeeeee

it's scary how clearly manufactured the outrage is that's now led to the director of the BBC resigning. i know the BBC isn't perfect but it's one of the better english language news sources and it can't/shouldn't bow to disingenuous pressure like this from the far right

i'm at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next weekend at table B-30 in the Comixology hall, by the way! i messed up with some comics i was getting printed which won't arrive in time so i'll be bringing a bunch more new stickers (plus all the usual stuff!). see you there!

Ok maybe this is a strange thing to say but I was not at all expecting Tokyo Ghoul to just have a full on romantic sex scene

this Sunday (26th Oct) i'm going to be on a panel at the BFI southbank talking about gumball with a few of my lovely coworkers! there'll be some workshops apparently and even a voice actor or two. tickets available here: whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...

this weekend i'm going to be at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social on Friday and Saturday and then in November I'm going to be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in Harrogate over the weekend of Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th! come and let us dance the ancient dance of commerce together

A great way to relieve yourself of the notion that you've faced any kind of physical hardship in your life is to chat 5 mins with a Japanese person who does kendo professionally

i keep thinking to myself i should have streamed silksong from the beginning! it's a really fun time and i think it would have made good streaming material. i tentatively want to stream hades 2 soon since i streamed the first game and that was really fun

i used to go this regular life drawing class they held in a cafe after hours just off brick lane and the memory of it is so vivid. it was a tiny space but in the winter it would be so packed your glasses would steam up immediately upon stepping in. served really nice food too, sandwiches & stuff

I was thinking more and more about the various trans motifs/themes in Tokyo Ghoul and then it hit me with this (almost reaction meme-worthy) panel

underworks is unironically my fave area in silksong so far, both from a gameplay and a lore perspective. such a well designed experience and an enjoyably grim struggle

stunned that the home secretary's proposal to reform the UK immigration system involves... mandatory volunteer work in order to remain in the country? so if you're an immigrant you're just automatically part of a class of unpaid servile workers now?? what the fuck are we doing???

This was the first holiday to Spain where I feel like I properly cracked conversational Spanish (both with family and with strangers). Its still pretty limited and most strangers default to English anyway when they see how I look but I feel proud that I can express myself more.

a comic about fishing (1/7)

just so everyone knows how cool i am i beat that first red knight guy in silksong without any kind of dash. blanca kept on telling me to leave him and come back with the dash but i bounced on that mfers head till he died

absolutely mad how much a good haircut can change up your whole shit

youtu.be/XZ7Dk0stfy8?... gobou-san dropping another banger

we're planning another trip to Japan for next year and thinking of checking out the north more. anyone got any cool stuff you've seen north of Tokyo? Blanca wants to check out the Ainu museum south of Sapporo but I don't know jack about that area

more bleach posting, sorry: my favourite characters by far are Kurotsuchi and Kenpachi so I'm so happy they get a few chapters together later on. Kurotsuchi's Thousand Year Blood War Arc outfit utterly slaps, too

im at a stage where i must concede that the second DanDaDan OP is, in fact, peak. it's no creepy nuts but it's still unskippable

Its really bumming me out how I don't really have my priv twitter anymore. Don't have anywhere good to vent to a small circle of people lol

rereading Bleach (again) at the moment and remembering a lot of things I like about it. One of these is the kidō chants they do when they cast advanced spells, which (at least as far as I can tell) are just like cool-sounding abstract poems

a photo of my eyeball features in one of the first 20 episodes of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. can you find it????????

A huge amount of the new Gumball team are Dead End alum and/or good friends of mine including the art director @torpordust.bsky.social who is phenomenal! I'm very excited to watch them all, I know it'll all be exemplary!

the UK's new online safety act is *utterly* stupid and vastly overreaching. Other countries take note: we started with "mandatory age-verification face scan checks to access porn sites" (already insane) and we're now looking at losing Wikipedia?!

i FUCKING hate those ads for uber with people awkwardly treating the train guard or whoever like an uber driver

really like the animation on SF6 sagat, the way he holds himself... he'd gotten a bit generically muscly and chunky in the last few games, he looms a bit more awkwardly like he did in his sf2 sprite this time, it's more fun to make him a bit gangly.

Finally watched Rebel Without A Cause tonight and realised that kaneda's red jacket is probably a nod to the one James dean wears

got to the bit in Death Stranding 2 where caroline polachek's new song plays. banger

www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6n_... new gumball opening finally dropped! this was pretty mental, lots of incredibly talented people worked really hard on it!!!!

This is incredible!! Go check it out!!!!

how long after release do you think it'll take someone to make and post a picture of a giant phallus made out of sand in the new donkey kong. my money's on <6 hours

this sounds mildly insane but I think Doom: The Dark Ages owes quite a lot to Banjo Kazooie in its overall design. Happy to elaborate on this if needed

first reveal of the thing I've been art directing on for the past 2+ years! Amazing team on this, it's gonna be so good

in a bit of an Ashes to Ashes mood lately. Never done good things. Never done bad things. Never did anything out of the blue

a jumping jester

fully immersing myself in the local idioms

went up to Hohenzollern castle yesterday and it was pretty incredible

just found out they call well done steaks "english" in germany. Literally was offered "rare, medium rare or english". utterly owned

duck strut

always thought they should have gone for a campy 50s vibe for a superman film. no idea whether fantastic 4 will be any good but i think it's a good idea for a direction

youtu.be/lOWfCVQBixs?... i watched like half the bob dylan biopic on the airplane the other day and this song hit me pretty hard for some reason. listened to it yesterday again and felt a bit weepy

youtu.be/uxTdTaNIUxo?... was yesterday but still

Looking forward to the signing at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social later today! Last week in LA's been really nice.
