My Roomate thought this was cute. She’s not played Undertale.

I screeched, “NO! Not welcome here.“

Possible spoilers #hades2

In trying to be cryptic I labelled as suggestive... not sure if that works.

I guess we all have our place during times of discord? The party goes on till the end

This guy though... I didn't realize how much I missed him. The art is 10/10 and SO on brand.

It’s international NB day today. I’ll be sharing artists etc as I can!

The world is attacking these wonderful people who don’t deserve this hardship.

Please take time today to tell a NB person you appreciate their work and them.

I’m so glad you all exist.
Image of the non-binary flag From Wikipedia: The non-binary flag is a pride flag that represents the non-binary community. It was designed by Kye Rowan in 2014. The non-binary flag consists of four equally-sized horizontal bars: yellow, white, purple, and black. The yellow stripe represents people outside the gender binary. The white stripe represents people with multiple genders. The purple stripe represents people who identify specifically as a blend of male and female. The black stripe represents agender people.

Finally finished South of Midnight. I was too engrossed to take my customary screenshots.

The imagery is STUNNING and the story is RICH. A rare gem: a heartfelt story where empathy is a nurtured strength. Similar to Gris.

The songs... the story in the songs. My heart.

Highly recommend.

As a happy birthday for the aging wonder she is, figured I’d share here for her!

@davidjonfuller.bsky.social
(alternate title: Terry's Very Bad Day!)

This one is filled with Canadian-isms which is ALWAYS fun reading!

Nominations for the Aurora Awards are open until April 5, 2025! www.cffsa.ca
Gold and black art deco image, with white text and story excerpt, outlining Aurora Awards eligibility in the category of Best Short Story. Nothing But What You Bring With You by David Jón Fuller. Voting open at www.csffa.ca, closing April 5, 2025. Story excerpt: “When Terry feels the wolf’s teeth on his leg and falls in the murk of fir and spruce, Richard doesn’t change back to human and say, “Welcome to the club,” like he did when Terry was twenty-seven. This time he stays a wolf, glaring through the shadows, and says, “Wake up, dude! Your friend’s tryin’ to kill you!” But that’s crazy. Wolves can’t talk.”

Voting open at www.csffa.ca, closing April 5, 2025. Story excerpt: “Seize the night, young man,” the pale stranger had said, right before his teeth plunged into Edward’s neck. It had been half a lifetime since anyone had called Edward young man. Perhaps it had been Ed’s defiant stare that had moved the vampire, or maybe it had a twisted sense of humor to grant Edward, an eighty-year-old man, the chance at an extended life.”

Joseph Halden - Held in the Shadows🚗🔥❄️
@josephhalden.bsky.social

Held in the Shadows is an example of "don't give a story a fun working name because if it's TOO GOOD you forget the real title"... oops.

Nominations for the Aurora Awards are open until April 5, 2025! www.cffsa.ca
Story excerpt: “My cheeks stabbed with pain as though the crows were here now pecking my skin with carrion-hungry beaks. I batted them away, seeing every bit of fog and condensate as a threat, a harbinger of what could devour me. The city’s pulsing breaths from sewer grates seemed to whisper raspy judgment and offer to end the suffering. Please. Give me food. Warmth.

Voting open at www.csffa.ca, closing April 5, 2025. Story excerpt: “The gallery’s main hall had been transformed into a funhouse of mirrors—no, not mirrors. Bones. Bones polished mirror-bright, distorting my reflection, twisting me into a broken thing. A vision of what I could be. A warning of what I mustn’t be. My reflections, broken across the many bones, led the song, while the Long Night’s victims rasped the chorus.”

Folks this game is HUGE.

If you’re the type of person who cannot turn away from side quests, buckle up because you’re in for the long haul.

I didn’t expect so much volume.
