Chapter 29 of Ning Yuan's historical cyberpunk baihe To Embers We Return now up!

(in which Bian Jin's sex education continues, much to her chagrin)

🔗 read here: douqi.blog/2025/11/10/t...
Cover of the JJWXC version of To Embers We Return Extract from Chapter 29 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return: Shen Ni was still not done. She brought out a hair-dryer and blew hot air all over the wet patch until it was merely damp, then crumpled that part of the sheet to create the impression that someone had been lying on and rolling about on top of it. Finally, she poured the rest of the water onto Bian Jin’s side of the bed. Bian Jin eyed her dubiously. ‘We’re such a loving couple,’ explained Shen Ni. ‘There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to muster up enough… lubrication between us to fill a single cup.’

The Devil's Trill
Part of my comic with Joe Pavelka, "The Devil's Trill", from the, "Come Find Me" anthology by DSTLRY. The section is of a Musician character playing violin, bloodied. Next to his figure is a close-up of a woman with a red gaze. Black linework with desaturated tones and accents of red.

Kim Do-Gi > Batman there i said it i love Mobeom Taxi so much
Screencap from Taxi Driver Kdrama of a barefooted person standing on the edge of a bridge, looking down at their feet where a yellow sticker reads (translated from Korean) "Taxi Driver: 080-505-8282, Don't kill yourself, take revenge. We will do it for you."

anyone know of/use a ph*toshop (paid 4 by my boss, don't @ me) plugin or 3rd party app for screenrecording your painting process? basically what procreate has where it just records when you're actually working on it ideally. otherwise it'll be 1 william hours of me doing fuckall with the recorder on

riso delights for thoughtbubble
Riso print (black & red) - a two-panel image of a spaceman who appears to be waving, but upon closer inspection there’s a skull inside his helmet. Riso print (aqua + fluoro pink) - two sets of wings poking out from inside a chrysalis. Riso print (aqua + fluoro pink) - four panels showing a hand making a fingering and then fisting motion, surrounded by pomegranate seeds, silvery stretch marks, and dark pubic hair. Text reads “handful by handful i give you back”. Several sheets of a riso zine (fluoro pink + brown) showing various panels from Hourly Comic Day.

i’m so tired of y’all fuckers legitimizing nazi platforms, GET OFF SUBSTACK
sharpiepls.com dapurplesharpie @sharpiepls.com · 2d
If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade.

I'll personally walk you through it.
The Alternative to Medium/Substack - Sharpie Posts
Stop using closed-sourced solutions and move towards free and open-sources options that scale better, especially for indie creators.

The Magician, private commission for Claire.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.
