thread: how I built the magic system for the red sacrament

a scene from the wicker man, a may festival where people are walking in a line wearing animal masks with horns. a person at the front wears a dress and a long black wig holding up offerings and folk iconography

you call that dancing? cut some capers man!

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

I worked for three of ‘em so count me IN

always bums me out to get a galley from a big five publisher where it’s clear that nobody in-house did even a cursory copyedit of the press materials or the galley letter

my boss was shockingly chill about it!

One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*

that's my brand!!!!
