Leviathan is a bad town. Long days that burn like sin. Horrid, watchful eyes. Long claws reaching from the dark. And for Kristen Singer... a last homecoming to a place of monsters.

Just 33 hours to go until the Kickstarter ends
I know it looks bleak but please keep donating and sharing. 33 hours isn’t long. But the more support we have, we may be able to prove to future investors/sponsors how much support we can feasibly raise ourselves.

And don’t watch youtube reactors watching it, either!
I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

What if you told the story of Jesus Christ's childhood, but you played scary music whenever he cured a leper or brought a bug back to life, so it played like THE OMEN?
You'd have THE CARPENTER'S SON, which... is an idea that didn't work.

Fandom these days seems to perceive fiction as a sort of psychic accounting of some perspective on a theoretical world that exists, intrinsically complete, coherent, and causal, as opposed to art made by humans with conscious intent to express ideas and emotions and theme.

The article explained something that companies just don't get with film restoration. With converting digital or even analog to film, the raw materials (cels, digital files, etc.) seldom exactly matched the film prints in color terms, and different film stocks processed colors in different ways.

A new report last week stated that the average age for a first time home owner is now 40. Life expectancy in the US in 2023 was 78.39 years.
A 50 year mortgage means no average person would own their homes ever. It turns homes into direct rentals from the bank even more than they already are.

Anyway here is my review of Alan Moore’s last two projects. I enjoyed them a lot and think he is a remarkable talent, one of those people you’re grateful is alive and making new work about the world you live in. He has a new fantasy novel out in May, I’m excited for it.
