brightly coloured illustration of a lion-headed king clutching a hound in his claws, drawing blood where he holds her. a throng of more hounds barks and snaps around his feet.

my first of @mortiscausa.bsky.social 's #marchtoCamelot drawings for this year! don't know if I'll be able to put this much effort into them all but I had fun with this one! as with last year, theming them around my ongoing GN because I'm still obsessed with it.

Ingenuitive as always

I'm still without any current clientwork, so would really appreciate anyone wanting to share this! Alternatively, give my patreon or my shop a look? They both have a lot of things on.

graphic reads ‘hourly comics day disability diaries’ with a drawing of me (white nonbinary guy w black facial scruff & short green hair) lying in bed looking shattered. Lower text reads ‘hello. I make comics, and—‘

“This year’s my 10 year anniversary of chronic illness (ME/CFS)” - a small cartoon of me with a balloon going ‘wow!!’ then ‘…wait.’ In an inset past year’s comic, I’m going ‘hopefully later I’ll be well enough to draw a little!’ but end up lying still in bed all day - ‘alas’. “*8 years of my illness being “moderate to severe” = mostly bedbound, unable to walk down the street or prepare a meal without collapsing.”

“I’ve been making a day of hourly comics every February since I first got ill” (some pics of many years worth of hourlies,w ith me waking up feeling exhausted, too ill to sit up)

“It can be hard, but it means a lot to share the reality of my daily life honestly and to hear from others in the same boat. So here’s Hourly comics day 2026” - a small baloon now reads ‘still here!’ next to the same drawing as the first, me now waking up. 9am - “good morning my body feels like it’s been run over by a train’

OOOOOO!!

This looks amazing!!!!

Thank you! I can confirm that the books arrived in San Francisco, and are now somewhere between the west coast docks and Nevada.... Yeah, international shipping is a mystery to me too 😭

More Apwthecaria! More-wthecaria?

If you're hankering for potion brewing, wandering the Scottish wilds on four legs, and gathering trinkets from the birds and beasts your help, this is the solo-rpg for you.

You may already know this, but I think you can voluntarily opt out of payments on account (the advance payment of tax scheme) by saying you don't expect to be making the same amount of money the next year. I'm not sure how, but housemate has done it in the past. Taxes are shit!

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.

the flavour / mechanic interaction in this game is really fun! I wanna run it this year :)

There's a streaming link, too, so those not in Luxembourg should be able to tune in!

I'm not going to a government seminar on EU tax ever again. I've already wasted 6 hours of my life listening to someone being paid way too much to know absolutely nothing about the topic at hand that isn't available with a quick google search and give no functional or reliable advice.

Romania's charge applies to *any* mail originating from outside the EU. If my mail routes through France, does that package get a double charge??

Okay, reading up on it, I wonder how these charges will stack or interact. Italy's charge only applies if the parcel arrives *directly* from outside of the EU; if it arrives through another EU country (which most mail heading inland does) there's no fee.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's like, what's the gd point. Efforts to punish tax dodging multi-billion companies masquerading as profit-less up-and-comers always seem to punch down on the actual creators who desperately need help. Huff!

Some guidance on this issue was written up by my IOSS integration provider:

easproject.com/romania-ital...

Long story short, new €2 fees to Italy (unlikely to proc) and ~€5 fees to Romania (very likely to proc). I believe these fees will be bundled in as part of shipping services (e.g. Royal Mail)
