A bit behind the curve here, but time to finally start watching #SquidGame before season 3 drops.

Well now I feel ancient.

‘Gremlins’ was released on this day 41 years ago! (June 8, 1984) Directed by Joe Dante. Starring Zachary Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Howie Mandel, Corey Feldman, Hoyt Axton, Dick Miller, Keye Luke, Jackie Joseph, John Louie, Frank Welker, & Glynn Turman. [📽 via Amblin Entertainment] #OnThisDay

When someone claims to be “a good Christian” to weaponize their beliefs against others, that’s called having delusions of Flanders.

I wanna talk about one of the Aces and Aros stories that I helped edit, because it's one I particularly related to. It's written by @skeletalscribe.bsky.social and illustrated by @ornitoplatypus.bsky.social If this is TLDR, feel free to just donate here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

I like presidents who don’t get a hard on arresting American citizens

Drop something SILVER 🪙🥈🛸🩶

#FantasyIndiesJune 8 Janine with a truth potion? The answer HEAVILY depends on what point in the story this hypothetical happens. Early on, no one but her mentor, Sensei Calon, knows her backstory and she works hard to keep it that way. But part of her character arc is learning to trust again...

#FantasyIndiesJune 7 Janine explains a bit about the Stormwyrm, a creature of immense magical power, to her companions.

playing pokemon as an adult is one of those isekai reincarnation stories where you're reborn as a baby in another world and you use the full weight of your publicly educated, adult mind to cheat and dominate this world at the age of 12

Drop something PURPLE 🍇🪻👩🏼‍🎤💜

It's Saturday! Post a cartoon TV series you love. 📺

Getting jittery because I’m almost at that part of my WIP. You know, the one I’ve mentally storyboarded 400 times & emotionally committed to like it’s my wedding. I’ve been holding back like a Victorian ghost waiting for permission to be dramatic. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

I sure do love KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962), I mention for no particular reason

Drop something BLUE 🦋🐟🧞‍♂️👖💙

#FantasyIndiesJune 6 Something I'm proud of? Well, my little brother & his friend were recently the first place team in their elementary school math competition, so I'm prouder than normal of him at the moment.

For real though, they told me this once & the next session turned into a TPK. So, it was really a learning experience for everyone 😬 #D&D #DnD #TTRPG

Now, more than ever

I do the same reaction when my #DnD players say the quests have been too easy lately. #D&D #TTRPG

Drop some ARROWS 🏹➡️🖤

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

Imagine you’re a pioneering gay and civil rights icon and almost 50 years after you were assassinated a corporate fast food business uses your name as a pun to sell a seasonal dessert - I would be off the charts levels of Conjuring and Insidious pissed off haunting

#FantasyIndiesJune 5 Sensei Calon leads the Virta monastery and brought Janine there. He came across her when she was at her lowest and helped pull her out of a very dark place. Him and Lorien are the only monks Janine has a positive relationship with and she has nothing but respect for the man.

I didn't write him into a corner. He did that. I'm telling you, the characters have a mind of their own 😆😆😆 #amWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Booksky

#FantasyIndiesJune 4 Janine has a few odd talents: • Knows how to make fireworks • Holds the record for “fastest & tallest soup boil” (per Lorien) • Good with kids despite being gruff & anti-social • Can cook while fending off a food-thieving fox #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

Explaining to my younger brother that the absolute monster that is Tartakovsky's Grevious was our introduction to the character #StarWars

Drop something ORANGE 🍊

A #DnD player is private messaging me some awfully specific questions about carrying capacity and if anyone in the area has elephants for rent. It's...probably fine. I'm gonna let him cook. #D&D #TTRPG

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

#FantasyIndiesJune 3 I have 4 types of mages: Sages use runic magic ('new' magic) Channelers use rune-marked items Inherents are born with elemental magic ('old' magic) Sworn make deals with powerful magical creatures to obtain elemental magic Elemental magic was created by gods, runic by humans
