I forgot to include that Gold is death and mute so Donald Glover wouldn’t be doing much talking in his role😅

A poster with an orange, pink and black color palette. There’s an orange aliens head peaking up. Stars in the background and the words. “Aug S & Co. present. An Animated series coming to you. Live, Now. Glitch In Reality. Enter and learn the unknown world.”

The main cast: Micheal B Jordan as Static, Big Boogie as Solace, Donald Glover as Golden, Maya Erskine as Dev, Cherise Boothe as Romance, Anika Noni Rose as Azalea, and Miley Yamamoto as Inez.

Art of my characters. Sol is a dark skinned black man with locks and vitiligo, Ro is a brown skinned gender-fluid person with red short locks, Stat has brown skin, freckles, and two different colored eyes: green and brown, glasses and a gap tooth. Azalea has dark skin, braids, a nose piercing and a metal arm. Dev has pale skin, short black hair and is Asian. And gold has brown skin, curly honey brown hair and brown eyes.

I have no visual representation for Inez she’s just an older rich bad bitch.

Glitch! In Reality. A sci-fi horror novel about traumatized queers killing supernatural entities for money🙂‍↕️

“The entity clamps onto the runner’s head with a fleshy squelch. There’s a bone-popping sound. The man lets out a guttural scream—and then it changes. Like his voice is being pulled underwater, like it’s no longer his.”

Black stick figure drawings on off white paper. The first image is of a happy family, a child, mom and dad with the words “I love my parents.” Then the next image is a badly drawn werewolf with the words “SIKE” And the last image is the child, crying with the words “damn” and #Parentless is at the bottom

A black and white vintage newspaper. Title: THE WATCHPOINT NEWS Heading: CROWN ENTITIES TAKE OVER Paragraph1: The unthinkable has happened. The WatchPoint—long dismissed as conspiracy theory and ghost story—has fallen. What was once a top-secret blacksite for housing the world’s most volatile, mind-shredding entities is now a battlefield soaked in blood and crawling with Crown corruption. The breach began when one of the Crown's apex horrors slipped its bindings. Within minutes, containment failed. Reality broke. Now the dead don’t stay dead, the walls whisper in languages no one taught them, and the air itself is wrong. The WatchPoint isn’t just lost—it’s become a gateway. Quote: THEY TAKE OVER BRAINS Paragraph 2: But not everyone ran. Not everyone died. Unit X, the elite strike team stationed inside during the breach, is still breathing—and still fighting. Led by the relentless Solace, with the unshakable Static, the gold-clad fury of Golden, and the flame-wielding powerhouse Azaela Unit X is tearing through hell on Earth with grit and high-caliber vengeance. Dev brings the firepower, Romance brings the chaos, and together, they’re making the impossible look survivable. The Crown may have the monsters—but Unit X has the will to make them bleed.

Alright everyone, it's official. The NEXT #UnhingedPit event will be tomorrow, Sept. 23rd, from 8am-8pm in your time zone. Let the scramble to pull together an unhinged pitch begin. See you tomorrow!! #WritingCommunity

Black background - all text. #CastPit #CastPit is an online pitching event for authors to promote their books at any stage, from published to work in progress - yes, even drafting phase. The main purpose of this pitching event is for you, the author, to give literary agents, publishers, and potential readers, a chance to see inside your mind and envision who your best pick to play your characters would be if your book was turned into a TV series or movie. For us visually oriented people, it helps us imagine your characters better. If your book would be better suited to anime/animation, you can pick an animation style/production house and voice actor for your characters. If you include a director, include a movie they directed that makes you list them. You can even include composers, cinematographers and costume designers. Anyone you feel would be essential to bring the vision of your book properly to the big or small screen. ​ This is a new event, so be creative and have fun with it. You don't have to follow the examples below, using the Agent's Guide style, but a jumping off point. You can even do mood boards with your actors, just be sure to list the actor's name and the character they would play.

Hello #writerscommunity
There is a new pitch event, #CastPit, happening Nov. 13, 2025.

Black background with the text: Stat sighed and stood, brushing off his coat like he didn't just get puppeted by a demon. "I see dead people." Silence. Gold blinked. "You what." Stat glanced around, tone flat as ever. "I see them. Always have. They talk to me. Sometimes scream. Sometimes hitch a ride. Doesn't happen often---this one was aggressive." Dev just stared at him. "That's it? That's your whole explanation?" Stat looked at his hands. "I told you I was sensitive." "You said emotionally!" Zae shouted. "No, I didn't," Stat replied.

Black background with the text: He clicked play, and the game booted up with its usual cinematic intro---storm clouds rolling in, the distant hum of eerie music. The graphics loaded sluggishly. His PC, held together by prayers and zip ties, struggled to keep up. A donation alert popped up on screen. [$15 from "bread_wizard" ] yo get a better pc bro Sol burst out laughing. "Ain't no way you just donated money to insult me. Appreciate you, though." LMAO worth every penny we just tryna help u king

I drawing of my main character Solace from my horror novel Glitch in Reality. Sol has dark brown skin with vitiligo patches all over his body. He’s shirtless and displaying his top surgery scars and wearing gray sweatpants. Sol has black dreadlocks, and beard and mustache combo with a gray beanie.

The moment his camera flickered on, the chat---all six people in it---sprang to life. brotha finally woke up bro u stream once a month what is this OH SHIT HE LIVES WHERE TF U BEEN?? ayo one viewer gang rise up

Some snippets from my horror novel that make me laugh. Just because it’s horror doesn’t mean it has to be scary all the time! + drawing of mc Sol
