with every comic script I've been hired to do, every single time I gave back the feedback: "pouring the tea, steeping the tea, and drinking the tea can't all be one panel. 1 action = 1 panel." learning to see the visual execution of one's writing is a skillset on its own

Eyeing discourse from across the sea, NO. As someone who is primarily a prose author who sort of fell ass backwards into comics thanks to @artofchira.bsky.social 's unwavering support -- NO PROSE WRITING AND COMIC WRITING ARE NOT THE SAME. The first volume of Sfeer Theory was TRIAL BY FIRE.

Knights of Guinevere could also very much be called Requiem for Crunch Culture. It really captures that particular young creative who joins the company that stewards their favorite childhood characters -- only to find out just how much big media companies take that idealism and eat it for cash.

Knights of Guinevere could be called Requiem for the Disney Adult.

Boomers suck.

for the new or unfamiliar, the majority of my work is a creative collaboration between myself and @moonsheen.bsky.social called LITTLE FOOLERY. Since 2009 we've been doing original stories together across a wide range of genres, and many of them free to read. Please enjoy. littlefoolery.com

Toddler decided to do a drawing of me while I was in the bath. She drew me taking a bath.

In a world full of JK Cuntfaces be a Rick Riordan.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

We are at our core communal animals. This is both our greatest strength and (as we see recently) our greatest weakness. At our best, we care for our sick, our children, our lives together. At our weakest we fall victim to groupthink and us vs. them mentalities.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

Click the art to view our full Issue 11 cover reveal! Created by our Artist-in-Residence, Ninja Jo, we are excited to have this as our front cover for October 1's Issue. Haunting, eye-catching (literally), and emotional, we hope it'll draw you in as much as it did us. #SciFi

my cousin was on morning walk with me and his wife at marina beach in Chennai and going on about how Varuna is a dead god so no need to worry about sea gods in India and he fell and sprained his ankle exactly 1 second later

RIP robert redford, who still managed to be the handsomest guy in a chris evans/sebastian stan movie at like 79

Animated low-poly model of my favorite bug from Hollow Knight (the Last Stag). #fanart #lowpoly #3d #animation #HollowKnight

Took two different pharmacies, but finally found one that would give me my COVID booster.

Bocchama is so diplomatic and smart about asking for what he wants (also see him snipe that plushie on his way to the door lol)

We have a lot of stories where gods are cruel, impassive, and incomprehensible, but what if a god were like an aquascaper, delighted by all the weird drama going on in their little tank, and a bit worried about that algae build up. The humans may need to come out soon, but they're SO fun to watch!

Very important question: In Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, IS Walton as completely out of his mind hot for Victor as he is in the book? This is extremely important to me for reasons.

So everyone calls Hollow Knight Bugborne right?

SCENE: driving througy an old semi-rural town. Full of large farmhouses, historic museums, riverside hikes etc ME: This is beautiful. We should visit it proper some time. BILLBOARD: [TOWN NAME] guns!! We sell guns!!! ME: Maaaaaybe not.

YE OLDE CUSTOMER: "Hark! Mandick! Why doth thou always make extremely detailed armor for the titties?" MANDICK, THE TITTY SMITH: "Would not thou want a pair of titties this fine?" YE OLDE CUSTOMER: ... MANDICK: ... [five months later] MANDICKA, THE TITTY SMITH: "BEHOLD! I AM ALSO A CLIENT!"

I tried.

come now, how have I *yet* to see Mandick, the Titty Smithy

I tried.

Not me, suddenly getting hit with a million short story ideas while I'm knee deep in novel edits.

Rips open my shirt Jean Valjean style to reveal "Prince of Persia 2008" on my chest I actually have no idea if it really was a financial flop but it deserved an Elika-led sequel badly. The Ubisoft that made it doesn't exist anymore (it went the full dudebro) but I REMEMBER!

I hope this ishmael finds you whale

been watching through Apothecary Diaries with @moonsheen.bsky.social and only halfway thru season 1 but: - maomao is super relatable - I want jinshi to stay cucked forever, he's funnier that way - adore that the directing/animation feels like it's from the 00's - the color palette holy shit

Days 4&5 💜

Finally reached Raido in the Devil Summoner remake. I was not prepared for how aggressively voiced he now is.

Aaaand in comes Lady Catherine de Bourgh with the chair! #amreading

Back to it. Oil on masonite. Still not confident with foliage or dappled light so.

Regency is one of those genres I've always wanted to try but it requires as many moving parts as a murder mystery even if no one is dead.

Been rereading Pride and Prejudice in between soothing toddler to sleep. I have read this book before. I know how it ends. Everyone knows how Pride and Prejudice ends. And I'm still yelling, "ohhh but he still loves her!!! How will she figure out how to see him again?!" That is good writing.

Sometimes editing a manuscript can feel like weeding an overgrown garden (yanking things up by the roots) and sometimes it can feel like doing very delicate surgery. At the moment I'm at the delicate surgery before I go in with the hedge clippers.
