Clair Obscur cost less than 10 million to make that's fucking ridiculous

what do you mean it's actually totally reasonable to put it in the indie category I can't believe this

This entire phenomenon where we can't just kill villains for some reason

THE INSTITUTE OF MANNERS (202?)

YouTube video by History Hit The Russian Revolution: The Complete Bloody Story

here's the documentary if you too want to experience it; it's very well put together, I am just exhausted

what I've got instead is worrying that I missed something major by not making FEALTY a World War 1 book as well

at which point I have to remind MYSELF that it's not historical fiction

you know the break is super necessary because I watched a 2.5 hour documentary that contextualizes the romanovs, the russian revolution, and world war 1 all at the same time and I'm still not compelled to start revising

yes, this includes sex as part of the spectacle, because there are a lot of books where the themes would've hit harder if the main characters sucked and fucked

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE?!!?!

as little as I know about southern Poland, y'all have the best Christmas songs

what freed me from that cage was when [redacted] was literally struck by lightning in Gormenghast because that is thematically resonant with the senselessness of everyone's decline and the whole flooding thing

I've spoken before about the important of spectacle in speculative fiction because many books haven't hit for me because they're unwilling to take big thematic scenes and stay unnecessarily grounded

I think thematically irrelevant spectacle is typically worse

THE CRADLE OF ETERNAL NIGHT: F/F Dark Souls dark fantasy romance where a witch and a bard fight to take back the light from the clergy which sealed it away

ICE UPON A PIER: A reimagining of mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski but he's an ice-magic wielding lesbian with an attitude problem (2/2)

OUR CRIMSON CAGE: F/F/F Carmilla-inspired horror erotica in 19th Century Poland

THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS: Russian Revolution with queers & vampires in which a stealth vampire must quickly decide what he's willing to sacrifice to prevent forever war

I use these when tabling ahah (1/2)

👀👀👀

they should give you an executor figurine for this tbh

they should put balteus in nightreign

Oh yep!!

With two minutes to spare, I'm in bed before midnight!!!

little bit of a close up. i need a bigger notebook, drawing this small is hard

I hadn't considered that but I can see the argument (mostly the neglected but gifted child thing)

EVERYONE GO PLAY GAME THIS WEEK(END) OKAY IT'S IMPORTANT. i did so much on this and so did the rest of the team. it's awesome.

also look at the sexy purple background. i'm not biased.

there is a lot of political upheaval and oppression, but homophobia/transphobia are in that equation to the best I can pull it off

one of the most challenging things in THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS is creating something that is queer norm but is realistic to the time period and tumult that inspires the work

so people of marginalized genders (including Sasza, who is not a man) get treated and act like everyone else

An illustration by PomPoison of Ellery and Callisto from Little Death, kissing in a crypt covered in overgrown vines

Kissing the cold lips of a dead man

I'll do a thread ahaha

yeah you know, sibling consomme

I made a stuffed pepper soup with duck brother and hot Italian sausage and I'm so cozy maxed

THESE HAVE SHIPPED AAAAAHHH

good because I was like "friend, idk if your wrists can handle that"
