In spite of some little things, got 500 words typed up today. Aiming to finish chapter by tomorrow

Name a terrible thing Scrappy Doo did. Scrappy Doo convinced the author of a twilight fan fiction to make it into a novel.

I want to be clear that when I say there is likely a future for viable uses for AI I don't really even mean the technology currently being sold as AI. And I think it's worth considering the ways that potential hypothetical AI futures are *frequently* divergent from the actually existing product now.

There's actually a really interesting history as to why Kobolds are dogmen in Japan, due to early Japanese translations of D&D describing them as having "doglike" snouts, later solidified by art in early Japanese computer RPGs like Wizardry and anime like Record of Lodoss War.

Thinking about Simon from Gurren Lagann Little by little, he moved forward, better than he was before. It was not just belief in himself, but believing in himself to be better for those who believe in him. Find the people who believe in you, to fan the flames of self-belief youtu.be/4-G1Y6slHbQ

I need to find some more writing buddies/human sounding boards. I sense of "hey, I'm writing something that people will read and probably enjoy"

We are all we've got. The universe is just a place. We aren't special or chosen. We just exist on this planet out of luck and scientific miracle. But that doesn't mean WE don't matter or mean anything. We are all here together, always have been, so we should be in it TOGETHER.

In my personal canon the waterwraith is one of the sickest monster designs ever. Look at this freak.

This is a cool world @gaxix.bsky.social work has the quality of stained glass windows, in that no matter the imagery, there is a pleasant sense of antiquity to the shape and form, which to me, is far more evocative than if it were simply an accurate depiction of an imagined creature #artists

Wrote a short story in two hours. 2000 words. Hoping I'm able to transfer that rate into my daily work

Underpainting mostly done! I think the background is gonna be super fun to paint, I think it needs some more little wiggly guys behind elric. Apologies to Louboutin shoes.

again,

If you're a writer, write "I waited", without saying it. "I waited -" fiku, let's try again. "Shadows lengthened and shortened; silhouettes my fleeting company for Future's arrival"

you cannot support his work in any way anymore

Viriconium by M John Harrison The science fiction under guise of sword and sorcery was one positive, but the prose were a thing of beauty. It paints a gorgeous, painterly landscape of a sorrowful future Showed me what can be done with words and had me consider my role as a writer.

The Monitor Spews Out Its Diagnosis "The subtext is no longer underneath your text. Everyone knows that you're talking about your torrid relationship with that one person who worked at the gardens. Bury the text with as much symbolism and blunt metaphors as possible. Coherence be damned"

Since starting from March 20th, I've written 40k words for my other book. And I'm feeling good

New threads through old layers Fading in the worn colours Life strands on fingers

Perfect metaphor. Twitter has fully morphed into a Habermosh-pit at a neo-Nazi skinhead concert. Niche platforms like Bluesky will never match the reach of Twitter or Facebook at their peak, but that doesn't mean it can't be a pleasant place to hang out, talk about cool shit, and learn new things.

The Monitor Spews Out Its Diagnosis "You are ruled by Fear, and have yet to discover anti-establishment Visit a book and or trained brain to alleviate the imaginary boot"

The Industrial Revolution is directly tied to the rise of ableism that coalesced into eugenics. For one thing, these machines CREATED a lot of disabled people, and rich folks needed ways to make that the injured people’s fault. For another, the myth of productivity rose to replace survival—

There’s a few compounding factors to this: 1) algorithm-driven platforms 2) creators being accessible on social media (and thus easy targets for anger if they read comments/DMs) 3) many fans don’t know how to just sit with discomfort anymore; there must be someone to blame or to “fix” it for them

Nets within my surf Not one belonging to me For heart was hidden

didn't these phenomenal losers all JUST force us into the mandatory omni theft scorched earth racism matrix so they could be incredibly creepy about fictional women what have you not got enough non consensual training data now you gotta go round hoovering up everything you see for fap slop

Machinery grave Buried by their old produce Girders are like bones

A heated take: Elric and hys imagery would fare greater as animation, voiced by Harry Lloyd of Arcane fame

Moorcock's Multiverse, as a 2D Arpg a la Vanillaware, as you individually play through the stories of Elric, Corum, Hawkwind, Erekose, and Von Bek independently of one another, before reaching the climactic ending.

Viriconium by M John Harrison, the man who coined "new weird" Personally, I'd recommend the omnibus, as it's an effective timeline of his skill as a writer

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

There is no way to watch the new 'Harry Potter' show subversively. If you're watching, you are buying in.

Am fire in a flask Hermetic yet bright in form To enlighten self

I strongly recommend reading this thread by @taliabhatt.itch.io I've never played "Mass Effect", but it this is certainly enlightening on politics in writing

Currently learning to memorise A Two Years' Idyll by Hardy

Existing as a trans woman in 2026 should come with a state of the art space fighter.

The new Rainbow Map is out. The UK used to be a beacon for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe, topping the list in 2015, but over the last decade we have dropped year on year. We are now barely scraping a score above the continent’s average.

Here's my other channel/account Updates on things will be there on writer stuff, like progress on work, whether anything is published, et cetera #writing

It's my birthday today — and the best gift for an artist is having their work shared! 💖 ✦ My other socials: hipolink.net/fannd

Vapours landing clear Over grey matters of peaks And smothers valleys Clouded, which way now Unable to tell high-low Only steps forward

There is a radio in the distance. A radio of the world. Playing sounds - Good morning, Elysium. Soon you will return to the world.

My childhood favourite monster: Stardust Dragon.

So many anime AMVs

I'm feeling good about what I'm working on for my future bibliography
