if you're somehow surprised at seeing a social media ceo having a lowtax+rowling i envy you for not being there on tukblr for the hammer car incident last year

Midnight of the Century Primer. Hunt serial killers in a rain-soaked city teetering on the edge of apocalypse. A mid-'90s pre-apocalyptic serial killer investigation roleplaying game. Striking red and black, skull peering from the background with an eclipse at the centre and strange circular logo. Enochian text and imagery.

Midnight of the Century is the next TTRPG from By Odin's Beard RPG, following on from Runecairn.

If you're excited about recreating the feeling of watching your favourite occult serial killer movies and TV shows from the '90s, like Millennium, Twin Peaks, and Silence of the Lambs, read on!

ohhh can i rec channels?
do you want something more strictly in the video essay genre like a jacob geller thing or can it be more like a freeform lesson/opinion (like a person talking to a camera with some inserts for example)?

You can still buy all their work. Being a rude, abrasive loudmouth while trans is the only unforgivable sin to these people.

were to be around him at any time for any reason due to his habitual sexual harassment and assaults. Frank Miller released one of the most savagely Islamophobic comics of all time, HOLY TERROR, and still works with DC. There are pedophiles, war criminals, confessed sexual predators on staff.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

if everyone that follows me gives a couple dollars i can fund most of what i need!

lowkey why are people in this thread talking about libgen as if it’s some shady evil thing on the same level as openai or whatever. and not an incredibly useful resource for preservation & dissemination of knowledge?

ok back to my fever and headache

3) it saddens me how almost no anglophone writer, no matter how intelligent, can understand how genres actually work, apart from market labels, and how limited their perspective is by the anglosphere cultural hegemony.

2.5) or possibly "magic realism" since I'm latina and don't operate within the same genre space as yall and you had to create this weird label to put us in instead of understanding us at our own terms

2) sad boners/sex are rich and complex, and pretty common, affective experiences which can be used to explore a wide variety of things in art. I'm working on something that basically uses sad sex as musicals use songs, for example. it'd also be classified as horror or weird fiction.

awoke from troubled dreams to see smart gringo writers saying dumb stuff about genres as usual so:
1) the lit/genre fiction split makes zero sense from outside the anglosphere and if you understand how genres/cultural categories work. don't take contextual relations as universal ontological facts.

i just got a letter of acceptance to do a semester of my PhD in Germany. It's gonna make a huge difference for me, but I have no funding, and my currency is worth 6 times less than the Euro. So I’m doing a lil' crowdfunding. If you can help, here’s my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/wendiyu

having an extremely esoteric personal logic for bolding and italicizing every other word

it is. reading it was a unique experience. pure poetry. 💖

manga called "i share an apartment with a grumpy old lady and a psycho eunuch and they're both KILLERS!!!" and it's just me and my cats
is that something

my family changed how we pronounce our surname since it has a sound that doesn't exist in Brazil (the way they say it, it sounds more like a ü or a French u than "you"), even i can't say it right

and still people get it wrong all the time lmao
in writing I'm always "Wendy You" or something

i love being campy and calling them something thematically appropriate for the game. in my game about mutant musicians, they're the roadie. in my antifascist monsters game, they're the organizer (which I'm very proud of as a wordplay)

keeper and MC are fun as well

not the same insidious institution but one of the best books I've read in a while is Drill by @scottrjones.bsky.social, a masterpiece of autofiction in which "he" deals with the trauma of being raised in the JW by trying to kill their god, depicted in the book as a semiotic parasite. brilliant.

on the other hand, one of the *best* living writers in the English language (regardless of genre), Brian Evenson, is a "very happily excommunicated" Mormon (his words) so maybe you should read his work instead i dunno (granted, pretty different vibes but hey that's good!)

also his take on fantasy is boring and antithetical to what makes asoiaf good stop being stupid

why are people in 2025 still ignoring the fact that Sanderson is a proud mormon who tithes (regularly pays a percentage of his millions) to that hateful institution, and even defends it and its genocidal founders like Brigham Young

Hey Cis People, it is ethically & socially responsible to give money to trans people
