Elizabeth Torque cover featuring Cheetah, Klarion & Teekl, Hazard, Cheshire, and Featherweight! They're all looking down on us meanly!

Nicola Scott's cover, featuring Cheetah on all fours on the Watchtower, lurking towards us, unaware that Wonder Woman stands sternly behind her. The words "Sticky Fingers, Sticky Situations..." are printed to the left.

Gerald Parel's variant cover, showing Featherweight. She is looking at us being extraordinarily cute, in a pink hoodie with cat ears and a rose-pink bow at her collar.

Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #5 is out tomorrow! WITNESS THE GLORY OF @nicolascottart.bsky.social and Annette Kwok and Troy Peteri! Variants by Gerald Parel and Elizabeth Torque!

Amazing.

Some sort of Na'vitity Play

Genuinely heartening news!

Motherfuckers, we basically beat *cigarettes*. Young people may not remember the total ubiquity of cigarettes in public life, but it was there. People still smoke, but it's *worlds apart*. Never cede ground on hating. We might not be able to destroy AI, but we can shame it back to obscurity.

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

I am going to be thinking of this as the Quintessential LA Joke for years now.

I said what about Geralt of Rivia
She said I think I remember him well
I said as I recall he looked kind of different
She said well that's who we could afford

Quiet, you petahQ

I only have casual, tourist-y klingon. Can order pipius claw off menu, think I appreciate the house bloodwine but I don't, inisist on growling my ghs to pronounce it correctly, etc.

esquire article with headline “why does gen z love rumours so much?”

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

Yeah, sadly asked and answered there, I think.

Inside you there are two Wolfes. (This is a compliment.)

So, I am normally loathe to be negative here, but

1) Neverwhere came out in 1996; and
2) I'm not saying I don't own books by him, or even that I did not love them, but you might want to check in on his current status before giving Neil Gaiman an unqualified recommendation.

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

In every relationship, there's the one making the observation and the one rolling the clips--but who is which changes.

Also, I worry "also happens" feels condemnatory there, it's not, it's a proper capital-F fantasy book. Wizards, goblins, giant monsters. It's not ashamed of, not arch about, any of those things, it just grounds them seriously in emotion and experience.

Did the thing I really like when fantasy novels do, which is to confine the scope of the action to an intimate experience and then let implication and reader imagination fill in much much more.

Really enjoyed Christopher Buelhman's The Daughters' War, a beautifully crafted meditation on loss, grace and survival (that also happens to be a fantasy book). I described it to some friends as "A Farewell To Arms, but with lesbian crow knights" and I stand by this assessment as a high compliment.

HE COMES ACROSS *EXACTLY* THIS CASE. IT'S THE MUSGRAVE RITUAL! AND IT'S SET DURING SHERLOCK: THE COLLEGE YEARS, SO IT PREDATES HIM SAYING THIS TO WATSON IN A STUDY IN SCARLET. THE 'HE WAS TROLLING WATSON' EXPLANATION IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE.

Ahem.

Please go about your business.

A pseudo-Roman mask helmet thingy. It's greenish and bent and there's a red jewel in one of its eyes.

been a while since I went hard on patina

I very much doubt I'll personally get it to the table any time soon. But that's the best reason to put it out into the world!

GUESS WHO LIKES YOU?!

Goddamn, Joey

Themes Table for Tabletop! A TTRPG Musical

A friend prompted a discussion, and a discussion rapidly metastasized into a miniature project.

I present:

TABLETOP! The TTRPG of Musicals.

A fast-paced frenetic experience of pure showbiz and artistic sincerity.

Weirdly I was talking about this in the context of The Muppets just this morning, how a failure to understand Muppet kayfabe dooms the product. There are rules both subtle and glaring, but they have to be followed. Other eras understood that quite well, but I don't think they've crossed over.
