the struggler

you should write because you love your story so much that it's all you can think about, and you should also get so pissed off at a video game that it makes you write a novel

anyone want to come over? we can stand across from each other and do this

everything really is cyclical man

Shadow of the Colossus

Made this fanart of Dilandau (Escaflowne)

I started this drawing as a break doodle, but it was too fun to make so I finished it.

I also drew these last week, continuing the long lasting fantasy horned horse tradition. The one with horn overgrowth is inspired by Elden Ring's omens

Began as an armour study, but started thinking about how to use it as starting point for other costuming.

Kaiba(2008) fanart. Warp is curled up with a sprawling plant winding through and around him. Some of the growths of the plant represent his motif of embracing hands. Memory roe flows throughout. The show's logo is in the top right. -- (Unsure if this method of hashtagging works, but I don't like blue in my captions lol) #Kaiba2008

i mostly agree with the aftermath article and they do say it better T__T

hades 1 is so good at expanding on the thought of reconciliation, love, and family. in comparison hades 2 is so simple with its npc side plots. it doesnt help that mel is so one track mind that she doesnt even think more complex options are possible. im sorry i do like mel but she can be very silly

i kept waiting for a challenge for melinoe of "damn are you sure putting the gods in power is a good thing, is your family as idealistic as you think?" which is why i love eris, and my favorite parts of the game are melinoe and zag fighting. hades 2 is so one note for a sequel of a game that wasnt!

Hades 2

Hades 2's story doesn't change the status quo

Winter and Death in Harvest Moon While letting go of a beloved pet is hard, death plays an essential role in preventing farming sims from feeling stagnant.

Though sad and uncomfortable, winter - and death - are often necessary to prevent game worlds from feeling stagnant.

In our first article on Seasons, @hollynielsen.bsky.social explores how winter provides vital friction in the Harvest Moon series:

comic page, blone girl sits on ground while all-red ghost woman steps from shadows. girl: What? ghost: When I was a living girl, I too had designs towards the crown of the animate. However, in death... I have set my sights on a more lofty goal. Not that petty mortal throne. girl: Petty?! ghost: yes. petty.

girl stands as ghost stalks towards her. ghost: For a time, I believed our desires were in harmony with one another. But I have no use for your dreams any longer. girl: What do you -- the girl is cut off as the ghost sinks her clawed fingers into her chest

a silent page as the ghost gorelessly pulls the girl's heart out of her chest, the girl somehow uninjured and alive

extremely toxic yuri, in a way

With a knock on your door, a kindly wizard invites you to join us on Shelved By Genre's LORD OF THE YEAR, in which we will consider the popular but contested works of JRR Tolkien, kicking things off with a long rumination upon the first four chapters of THE HOBBIT: rangedtouch.com/2026/01/02/t...
