Thank you once again for helping create a marvellous character that has fuelled me with endless inspiration. Here's to the next year of being creative, and celebrating all things Emmrich. Hope you have a wonderful Halloween! ๐Ÿ’€

6th draft of my feature screenplay done & sent off to the script editor for feedback. ๐Ÿซก

I don't think I've written so many drafts of something in my life, but each iteration makes me proud, if not still slightly embarrassed, of how far its come.

Now... time to write more Emmrich Volkarin fanfic. ๐Ÿ˜…

Iโ€™m genuinely gutted, at a loss for words. This year weโ€™ve lost so many greats. David Lynch. Robert Redford, just to name a few. To me, Diane Keaton was one of my role models, a woman Iโ€™ve looked up to since I was a child. Thank you for everything, Diane. Your work means the world to me. ๐Ÿ˜”โค๏ธ

Seriously, I've never had any art created for my fics before or been part of a zine quite like this. Every time I look at the piece, I'm FLOORED. Thank you @timethehobo.bsky.social for being amazing! And of course to @thefadeserver.bsky.social for allowing such a collab to even happen! โค๏ธ

Can't believe I got to work with the brilliant @timethehobo.bsky.social as part of the @thefadeserver.bsky.social's AU Emmrich zine. ๐Ÿฅน

They created this piece for my old Hollywood inspired fic, perfectly capturing Emmrich & Rook's yearning and passion for each other. ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

So honoured to be part of this collaboration between Wales and Japan, thank you so much @cardiffanimfest.bsky.social for letting me be involved. It means the world to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this opens up future parternships between the animation industries in both countries. ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

Dragon Age fan art cartoon 2 panels
Top panel: Manfred is pondering how to make a glamour that looks like both Emmrich and Rook. He's doing Manfred Math: Daddy (Emmrich) + Mommy (Rook) = Manfred ? What would that look like? There are various math equations floating around him because he's thinking hard.
Bottom panel: Manfred shows off his new glamour. It looks like a Picasso-esque amalgam of both Rook and Emmrich, with one elf ear, and one human ear, one big eye and one of Rook's eyes. Amazing. Rook's laughing and Emmrich looks stunned.

After one too many shots of tequila, Emmrich confesses his love for Rook and then, whilst she drags him all the way home, proceeds to cry about it. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿฅƒ

I've been working closely with Art Director Michael Shorten to establish the style for our film, using Hiroshi Yoshida as a base point in the beginning stages of our exploration. Our main goal is to create a distinct style that is very much Welsh, but still pays homage to Japan and Japanese culture.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
