This #WIPSnips fits very well. In a world where we're often told duty is a defiance of love, I wanted to give a different message. This excerpt is from my short story Caer y MΓ΄n, third in the #Raven+Bear collection.

If you've listened to this I need a favour. I'd like help finding a bigger audience. If people quoted this post saying something they enjoyed about the story or liked/commented on the video itself I'd be so grateful. Having a hard time rn.

Remember to use #Raven+Bear.

Alrighty I have read some of The Infinite Sadness.

I'm going to give this a 4/5 ⭐!

Early chapters have flaws, however the quality improves greatly by Chapter 9. The characters were engaging with a clear perspective throughout. It's not for me personally, but I think people will have fun with this!

This is a really great video. it really shows how awful Jubilee is and about the fascists who've been on Jubilee and how they try to use the platform it gives them to try to make money gain notoriety and to spread their 'beliefs'

The foreground of the cover. The top half reads "The Eiden Heresy" in capital letters. This title is centred, with one word per line. Beneath it is an image of balance scales which weigh two symbols. The scales are ornate and made from a dark metal, thin chains hold each measuring dish. A golden eye with a single teardrop beneath it hovers over the left dish. Four silver diamonds arranged so a lattice is formed by the space around them hovers over the right dish. Beneath these, the pen-name "Bramble" is written in capital letters. All text for the cover is white.

The background of the cover shows a bridge and various buildings beyond it. Lamps are positioned along low walls on either side of the bridge and are brightly lit. There is also a singular statue along the left wall. Though obscured by the right dish in the foreground, two people walking on the bridge can be seen with their backs to the viewer. Beyond that bridge, there are several silhouetted buildings which gradually fade the further from the bridge they are. The background only consists of different shades of blue, with snow falling across the image of the bridge and city behind it.

I believe this POV and perception has done more damage to fighting games on a design level than anything else. It creates a very homogeneous genre where if you’re not about big combo strings that create unskippable cutscenes out of rhythm based gameplay, then you won’t like fighting games.

One prevalent theme in The Eiden Heresy is the dangers of bio-essentialism as law/doctrine. The violences it encourages against women, men who rebel or those who defy categorisation under it. Sadly in my Nostradamus arc (first draft was a year ago). πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈβ™€οΈπŸšΊ
