While we all rage on EA- North Mist is a new indie games studio that nabbed Mary Kirby (Varric) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Emmrich, Josie) as writers!

They have a world building podcast (also on yt! 🔗 below), with Mary writing the first season that just wrapped up, and Sylvia's first ep just dropped!

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."

'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'

We hope neither carries you off today.

You're exploring an abandoned observatory with old books, notebooks, and a ritual space. A ghost appears. Will you talk to him? He might have interesting things to say. 🤔

👻 Check out Usual June, the action adventure game we're making, on Steam!

Keep it up everyone, if we just keep making games with women and pronouns we can eventually ensure that the chuds never get to enjoy a single new video game ever again

Should really get back to posting art, so here’s some sticker designs I made last year for the cosplayer Universe of Emily over on IG. I’d been following Emily for a while before I got this opp so I loved getting to work with her on these.
Also it’s Star Wars so ofc I had a good time

You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

An imagine that looks like an old paper scrap that reads: A Dragon Age Fanbook World of Thedas Volume 3 A Mother's Lament I know alleys and canals better than most sisters here, even the ones born here. I don't even think I remember Ansburg anymore, I was so young when I left. Revered Mother Cecile thought a young sister should see the world. She intended for me to begin with Treviso, then “the whole world,” but I never did go anywhere after Treviso. I couldn't. Before the oxmen conquered the city, the Grand Cleric and most of the sisters had left for Val Royeaux. They took the relics and promised us, the faithful ones who stayed, that we wouldn't be left alone.

just a little tiny tease of something I wrote

thanks @juliarago.bsky.social, for the great template!!! 🙌🏻

little preview of what i’ve been working on for the past few months for @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social #dragonage

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It’s really funny that you can amass hundreds of billions of dollars, and still
Be desperately uncool and dull. I know that’s gotta hurt.

keeping all of my braincells occupied with ao3 tabs so that i don’t think about The Horrors

@juliarago.bsky.social: "How do you defend a PhD if not with a knife?"

Im concerned that Julia is becoming a gotham rogue now

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

Time to break out the chart

This meeting could have been an email.
This email could have been a passing fancy.
This job could have been a lifetime of wonder.

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

hey do you remember how a church full of children was shot up two weeks ago? like two weeks to the day, is when that happened? But this is the one that marks the "tipping into violence". Ok!

one of my proudest moments

A well-kept secret are the terrifyinge houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wrong

what if we stopped laying off every writer who has ever lived

the tiktok DA fandom is really something (derogatory)

i love logging onto tiktok for the first time in a while and IMMEDIATELY being served up a deeply combative and niche Dragon Age opinion and then remembering why i deleted this goddamn app

A close up of a drawing of Bellara. She is looking up and to the left. A faint blue glow is cast on the edge of her face.

I am very excited to announce that I’m illustrating Bellara for the World of Thedas Vol 3 Fanbook! Here’s a little sneak peek… @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social

"Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning."

the "Death" card from the upcoming Vampire's Tarot from Llewellyn Publishing. Image depicts a female Death kissing a woman kneeling on a tomb in an overgrow cemetery.

The last card for the Vampire's Tarot has been turned in. 78 illustrations completed this year for my fifth and final tarot deck.

My wrist hurts ⚰️

Hopefully I'll soon have news from the publisher about release dates, so stay tuned
