My new short story, MESTRA, comes out as a standalone this September! I rediscovered this myth from Ovid while working on my Persephone novel, and it absolutely electrified me. In case you want to pre-order, thank you from the bottom of this author's heart, links are here! linktr.ee/madeline.mil...

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

It's time for #inkvent2025 ! Like last year, I'll post each ink from the Diamine Inkvent Calendar here on its following day, so anyone opening their own calendar won't get spoiled. This year, I'll try doodling with each ink to really show off their properties!
I'll be back here tomorrow with Day 1!

Last week, my former housemate punched me multiple times in the eye, forcing me to break the lease for the beautiful apartment we shared and move in with a trusted friend

As I try to rebuild my life and find more permanent housing, I would greatly appreciate any support you could offer Stop Caring
Stop Caring
A publication about video games focused on the ways they evoke unique cultural conversations as well as the personal lessons we can learn from them as artistic media.

#Pokemon Legends: Z-A continues the series' action-oriented pivot as it goes from a standalone spin-off to mainline status – yet with plenty of room to grow still! But today I'll still say: Lumiose je t'aime. 💚⚡

Hey I wonder who provided that game script. 👀

(We're also in the middle of compiling one for The Ivalice Chronicles! There is quite a lot of new dialogue in this version, and as this article discusses, Tactics wears its politics on its sleeves, some of the new scenes very clearly so.)

This one from @otomeniki.bsky.social, who argues that Final Fantasy Tactics memes engages audiences in a unique form of reader-response theory. Which *is* art criticism, even if it doesn't *look* like art criticism.

Give it a read and a share!

Don’t blame Niki for all these Final Fantasy Tactics memes. Blame yourself or God.

After seeing so much dislike towards Mega Dragonite's design, I'm surprised at how much people seem to like the Raichu Megas. Both feature big, "goofy" ears and tails that hearken back to their previous evolution.
