👑 Dragged into a succession crisis you can't even win?

💀 Endangered by your awful rich relatives?

😈 Plot your revenge and end their dynasty!

🔪 Be gay, sic semper tyrannis!

First book in the series out in April 14th (hopefully)

A book cover with an image of some fantasy towers in sepia and text that reads: "King of the Dying Sun, Radiant Imperium Book One, C.H. Stevens". Some arrows with text attached to them point to the cover. The text reads: queernormative world, roadtrip from hell, court intrigue, three jalapeño emojis, delicious food, magic & ghosts & monsters, hurt/comfort, trauma ft. bad coping Some text that reads: Azul Mamani is a nobody. It doesn’t matter that he’s a great-grandson of the Megarchon, the tyrant ruling the entire world—until today. For the first time in centuries, there’s no successor who can wield the Imperium, a mysterious magical artifact that gives the Megarchon their terrifying power. Civil war looms in the horizon. Azul is hastily summoned to the capital, but why? He has no power and no allies—except maybe a dangerous man known as Vanth Umbra. He is the King of the Dying Sun, born to protect the living from the creatures of the Underworld. And like everybody else, he’s in the Megarchon’s service, not to be trusted. Especially not when he appoints himself as Azul's protector. Sex is the one bargaining chip Azul has, so it's a good thing Vanth wants him—and a very risky bet. However, with a necromancer trying to murder Azul, one of the Megarchon’s elite guards shadowing his every movement, and insurgents raising hell on his path, Vanth might be his only chance to survive.

Turns out that public regulation of markets rather than regulation by Apple is good, actually.

Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.
From Patreon's Discord: "Yesterday, a U.S. court ruled in the Epic v. Apple case that Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside of the App Store. This is a huge victory for creators and fans. The Patreon iOS app is the number one platform for fan engagement on Patreon, and we believe this ruling allows creators to get paid without Apple taking 30% of all in-app payments. We know many creators may have questions about how this ruling will impact your Patreon communities and how you use the Patreon iOS app. We’ve been working urgently to understand what this ruling means and how to take action to ensure that you and your fans benefit as much as possible. Here’s the latest:" "We’re already working to update the Patreon iOS app to avoid Apple’s fees As a first step, we are submitting an update to the Patreon iOS app in Apple’s App Store immediately to include an option for fans to use an alternative payment method to Apple’s in-app purchasing system. Once approved by Apple, this update would mean that new members in the U.S. who make purchases in the Patreon iOS app will be able to choose a checkout option that does not include Apple’s 30% fee. Note: This pending app update, once approved and released in Apple’s App Store, will provide alternative checkout options for U.S.-based fans signing up for new memberships. At this time, this only applies for creators on subscription billing as legacy first-of-the-month and per-creation billing models are still unable to accept new membership sign ups in iOS." "The November 2025 subscription billing transition deadline is now on hold This is still a developing situation, but we are moving forward under the assumption that the November 2025 deadline for all Patreon creators to switch to subscription billing is no longer necessary. While additional information may come that alters Apple’s requirements for Patreon’s iOS app, we are optimistic that this ruling will give us additional flexibility in how we support creators on legacy billing models. However, for now, creators still need to be on subscription billing to be able to accept payments through the Patreon iOS app. For those who still want to proceed with switching to subscription billing, our team is happy to assist with the transition, since it still unlocks access to the latest growth tools on Patreon, like gifting, Autopilot and tier repricing. For creators on per-creation billing who are actively working with our support team to transition to subscription billing, our team will be in contact with you by the end of the day tomorrow, May 2nd, with next steps to confirm how you’d like to proceed." "Where we go from here When we first announced rolling out Apple’s in-app purchasing requirements last year, we shared that we used three principles to guide our decision in how we planned to move forward: transparency, control, and stability. In keeping with these principles, we’ll continue actively working to learn more, and we will communicate frequently and transparently as we go. This ruling is a huge moment for creators and fans, and we will continue fighting for a future where creators are in control, communities thrive, and professional creativity is possible for all. "

bruhh lotte reiniger was an ally
[screencap of the "Censorship" section of the film's wikipedia article] "Reiniger was one of the first filmmakers in the 20th century to attempt a portrayal of the queer experience with a pair of openly gay lovers in this film: the Emperor of China and a male character named Ping Pong. Although this was censored in the version of the film that was distributed to theaters, Ping Pong is presented as the Emperor's favourite or darling (Des Kaisers Liebling) even in the censored version. Reiniger herself was outspoken on her motivation to destigmatize homosexual realities in the world of film. "I knew lots of homosexual men and women from the film and theater world in Berlin, and saw how they suffered from stigmatization. [...] I suspect that when the Emperor kisses Ping Pong, that must have been the first happy kiss between two men in the cinema and I wanted it to happen quite calmly in the middle of Prince A[c]hmed so children — some who would be homosexual and some who would not — could see it as a natural occurrence, and not be shocked [n]or ashamed."

I tried (and failed) to get Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi to explain his new game, to a T, to me. instead, I had one of the most fun, baffling interviews I've ever done www.wired.com/story/katama...
It’s a game about a teenager who’s stuck as a T-pose and trying to figure out where the T-pose is coming from. It’s a game about—umm. [Long pause] Do I need to explain? [Another long pause] No. [Laughs] That’s fair. Who is this character? How would you describe them? A teenager, 13-years-old, female or male, whatever I mean, I don’t care—stuck in a T-pose, for some reason. What makes T the perfect pose? Because it’s perfect! You are perfect. I think it’s just perfect.

The way people just view Ghibli as only visual style and not narrative themes on life is an unforgivable sin, a blight on humanity for which there is no peace.

In a more humane, less poisoned would, every XYZ EXPLAINED video could be replaced with one video about becoming comfortable with the notion of ambiguity, and that a cultural text is not there to be decrypted or have its singular intended meaning "revealed"

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

In today's snippet, living in a poor rural area sucks and reforestation is hard.

#WIPSnips #RI
A screenshot of some text that reads: Some five years ago, some asshole whose name I don't want to remember had gotten a concession from the governor and started digging in the hills. We never really found out if they really hoped to find something of value or if this was some kind of money laundering scheme, and we didn't care. We still spent all that spring cleaning up the garbage they'd left behind and replanting all the trees and bushes we could before the heatwaves and dust storms and floods ruined our crops. That's why, at the time, far more saplings than adult trees covered the hills. Like children, trees must take their time to grow. In nights like this one, the saplings’s skinny trunks looked like helpless sticks about to be blown by a strong wind.

Unsurprisingly, "inhibition" is nowhere to be found in #RI, but I did find a couple of "reserveds".

Wherein the MC isn't exactly impressed with his love interest.

A screenshot of some text that reads: “Just wondering,” I said, “wouldn't the papers love to gossip about His Illustrious Highness?” Valentino frowned at his coffee cup. Pretty sure I managed to hit upon something, but what exactly I had no idea. “His Illustrious Highness is very reserved.” “I see.” Well, “reserved” wasn't exactly the word I would've chosen. “Antisocial”, more like it. But rich people don't need good personalities, not even the ones who mostly deal with living people.
