The "Koikeverse" showed Lupin progressively losing some of his clothes. So here's "stupid sexy Lupin" in different states of undress. #myart #art #lupinthethird #lupiniii #lupintheiiird #anime

Thought this the other day but it remains true. I could really go for an airport-strength G&T right about now.

COMIC REVIEW: Godzilla Legends - Mothra: Queen of the Monsters

Today on the blog, I'm sharing my review of MOTHRA: QUEEN OF THE MONSTERS from @idwpublishing.com . Spoilers: I absolutely loved it.

karadennison.blogspot.com/2026/01/comi...

The current @372pages.bsky.social read is slowly killing me. It’s too much like work. It’s just bad isekai.

And yet I read along.

I feel a bit unprepared to run tonight’s session of Girl by Moonlight, but we ball.

Considering the players made a minor event out of a slice of carrot cake last season, we’ll be fine.

Thanks for all the kind comments on my latest @blackarchive.co.uk installment from @obversebooks.co.uk ! Really happy to hear people are enjoying it, and that it's encouraging readers to go back and rewatch the episode.

Available here if you fancy a copy:

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

Immediate follow. Gorgeous work!

The Black Archive is a series of monographs about individual Doctor Who stories, published by Obverse Books. The editors recently ran a general call for open submissions, which we’re now following up with a specific call for book proposals from authors of colour and disabled authors. We’re proud of the books we’ve published, and of the diversity of their authors in many respects, but we’re aware that our contributors to date have been skewed heavily, though not exclusively, towards being white and non-disabled. We’d like to change that if we can. We want to expand the diversity of our authors in general, and will consider proposals for any available story, from anyone meeting the criteria of being disabled or a person of colour. We’ll give particular consideration to proposals from authors whose heritage or impairments might give them specific insight into a Doctor Who story – for instance, by a wheelchair-using author on Genesis of the Daleks, an author of Indian or Pakistani heritage on Demons of the Punjab, a Deaf author on The Well, a Nigerian author on The Story & the Engine, etc. We have already published or commissioned Black Archives on many Doctor Who stories, and these are no longer available for submissions. A full list of available stories can be found here on the Obverse website. Note: If we can do anything to make the following process more accessible for you, please contact us as soon as possible on blackarchivesubs@obversebooks.co.uk.

Call for submissions!
