New Remedy Game in less than 2 months??!! 😍😱 I can't wait!!

Happy Easter to these two, specifically:

Patch 8 finally releasing just days before a 4-day holiday weekend while I'm in the middle of battling a severe stress-related depressive episode means I'll be couch rotting and romancing wizards, vampires, and buff tieflings for the forseeable future.

I saw someone suggesting that instead of AI-generated character art you should find actors/actresses to "cast" in your character's roles to help with picturing your characters as you write and that's something I've done since I first started writing! It's one of my favorite parts of pre-writing!!

Apparently, the pipeline from "ugh, this is lame, why are we doing this" to "okay, it's actually low-key sort of good" to "Wait! What happens next?! Is he going to make it home?! [insert 30 min rant about favorite songs and theories]" is approximately 12 songs. 😁 #epicthemusical #teacherlife

Hearing a student tell another student "this is lowkey good" -- aka the HIGHEST COMPLIMENT for a lesson that can be bestowed by a teenager

Back on my bullshit* *starting another new BG3 playthrough

I teach 8th Grade English and we've been studying Greek Mythology and The Hero's Journey....so what better culminating activity than listening to EPIC: The Musical and tracking Odysseus' journey?? Forever in awe of Jorge Rivera-Herrans and this masterpiece 😍

You know why it rains so much during the spring? Because Persephone is sad that she has to leave The Underworld and Hades for 6 months.

I'm not going to lie...this actually makes it WAY easier for me to mentally deal with these crazy fluctuating temps!! 😁 Just imagining Persephone needing a little cuddle time and I can't blame her one bit. 🖤

With the state of the world being so....*gestures wildly*....I really think that it would just be great if @hadestownmusical.bsky.social released the pro-shot version immediately. Pretty please?? Willing to make a questionable deal with a certain king of the mine if it helps??

Jonathan Bailey's choreography for "Dancing Through Life" is positively CRIMINAL 🔥🔥🔥

I cannot be the only person watching THE PITT, right??

"I hope that it's fatal and not something worse, I don't think I can handle the hurt" VOILÀ. My emo heart can't take it! 🖤 (but never stop what you're doing)

Gooood morning sinners~! 🙃

Face reveal, wrong answers only

How's about a commissioned art reveal? Tomorrow, perhaps?? 👀 (You are not ready to see this gorgeous work!! I'm so blown away by how incredibly it turned out!!)

We are starting our Greek Mythology unit in 8th Grade ELA this week and I am SO READY to be the catalyst for so many of my students' weird Greek Myth phase that follows them into adulthood. 🤩

This St. Patrick's Day I will be celebrating the only way I know how: by listening exclusively to Hozier while praying to all the Celtic gods & goddesses. 🍀

The only way I'm watching Ted Lasson Season 4 is if they PROMISE to correct the WORST MISTAKE THEY MADE* *breaking up Roy & Keely and not giving a concrete answer about whether or not they're getting back together 😭😭😭

Maybe the real reason I haven't finished the sequel to my debut yet is because I was waiting for Sleep Token to release "Emergence" so I could include it on the book's official playlist 🤷‍♀️

🕯️

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Today in: "wtf is this Christian nonsense?" A temple in *Greece* dedicated in part to the worship of Zeus, the literal King of the Greek Gods, has been targeted by the Greek Orthodox religion for being unlawful. They ordered it bricked up so no one may enter to worship there. 💔

FINALLY met Thanatos in game and I am SO ready to make ZagThan my entire personality. #Hades

PLEASE don't boycott KU!! It's not going to hurt Amazon, but it WILL hurt indie authors, some of whom depend on KU to make a living.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women out there who have found comfort and empowerment in "smut", especially those who found it after a traumatizing experience. I see you. In fact, I'm one of you. 🖤🌶🔥

Is anyone else out there watching THE PITT on Max?? I am DEVASTATED after Episode 10 and I need to process my feelings about it. 😫

And this is why it's my dream to one day move to Finland. They're doing it right. ❤️

I had a post semi "blow up" on Threads yesterday (at least for me) and it sort of reinforced something I've long known. Not only do Christians have a PINPOINT NARROW worldview, but they are also just *wildly* misinformed about things outside of their lifestyle.

Aphrodite is quickly becoming my favorite side character in my Infernal Union duology. 💕 She is feminine rage and oppression personified and she is not having it anymore. She's beautiful and messy and I have loved exploring her story and how it connects to Hades/Cora's.

Me, with every subsequent edit of anything I've ever written: make it ANGSTIER and HORNIER 😈

It's Sunday and I'm in an anti-purity culture mood so.... LADIES AND GENTS (AND FOLX OF ALL IDENTITIES IN BETWEEN): There are a couple of things you can do to bring your ✨️self-care✨️ routine to the next level (IYKYK) ⤵️

Life is so short. We are all going to die. Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best. Love is what makes life tolerable and good. Those who take that away are the cruelest, most wretched.

I've been struggling to nail down where my "lore" started (per the trend making the rounds on social media right now). Tonight, I started watching "The Pitt" and realized that it all started with ANOTHER Noah Wyle med show I used to sneak watch when my mom was obsessed in the mid to late 90s.

I'm feeling frisky this Saturday morning.

I am an American citizen and I stand proudly with President Zelensky, a man with more courage and dignity than any other I have witnessed in recent history. 🇺🇦

Hi! I'm Gen and I never met an emphasized italic word I didn't like!

Parenting Win: 12 year old son saw the hazard light button in our new car and asked why it looked like a symbol from CONTROL. We told him it's the emergency contact button for the FBC. @remedygames.com -- think you could implement this in future models?? 😁

Overheard one of my grouchiest, "too cool for school" students tell a friend at lunch that my lesson today was fun so that's my tiny win for the day. 😁

💕 #FantasyIndiesFebruary What does your MC think of themselves? I don't know what it says about me, but I tend to write MCs who are very unsure of themselves or consider themselves unworthy of the things that come their way -- love, power, etc. Their friends/partners show them they're deserving.

Picked up "The Games Gods Play" because a student recommended it. The only thing I knew going in was that it was marketed as "The Hunger Games" meets Greek Myth. I'm only a few chapters in but have just realized that HADES is the love interest?? And I AM SEATED. 😍

Woke up this morning and chose pain for my characters (sorry, guys 😬) -- I'm finally gaining momentum in my notes stage and excited to get some more words drafted soon!!

💕 #FantasyIndiesFebruary Preferred Spice Level 🌶🌶 - 🌶🌶🌶🌶 I like my romances medium to hot. I don't read a lot of dark romance or reverse harem or anything that veers more into what I consider 🌶🌶🌶🌶+ spiciness. I also don't mind if it's 🌶 so long as there's still tension and passion and desire.

Autism, ADHD, asthma, and auto-immune diseases are absolutely NOT a "threat to the American way of life". But you know what is?? FASCISM.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Was it not enough that we somehow ended up living in the most horrific timeline, but we have to live in the stupidest one, too??

💕 #FantasyIndiesFebruary Heartache in WIP Well, I've got heaps of it in my debut sequel. I'll discuss them below, if you're interested in hearing more. *SPOILERS FOR MY DEBUT* ⤵️

Super cool* moment in history to be a neurodivergent, queer teacher in America. Footnote: *"Super cool" is slang for debilitatingly horrifying.

💕 #FantasyIndiesFebruary Last 5-Star Read I'm trying to get back to reading more this year! My last five-star read was "The Crimon Moth" by Kriten Ciccarelli -- can't wait for the sequel to hit later this month!!
