It’s finally here, and it’s a thing of beauty. I have every intention of starting it tonight, responsibilities be damned. A long wait, a touch of patience, and now it is officially mine. Happy days!
#InBetweenTheTrees

A deep blue cover features two illustrated human figures falling or floating toward each other within overlapping crescent shapes, drawn in soft pink and black tones.

I have so much reading to catch up on this holiday season, and I’m kicking it off with #Superman. Nothing beats starting the stack with the Man of Steel. I’m really looking forward to this. Happy days! #DCComics

Invasion is an absolute must watch for fans of sci-fi/alien invasion stories. I truly love this show. I just finished season three and I want more. AppleTV doesn't seem to market it very well, but I am here to say this is a total winner for me. A 10/10 without a doubt! #Invasion
The character Mitzuki (played by Shioli Kutsuna) stands with her back to the viewer in a dark, rain soaked street, facing a towering, blue, insect like alien creature glowing with bioluminescent light. The word “INVASION” appears at the bottom of the image.

Damien Wayne - Robin. He's a good character to play with. He's in the assassins category, meaning, he jumps right into the fights without any hesitation! #Robin
Robin, Damien Wayne, in his traditional uniform, red, green, yellow and black, with the R emblem. He is holding two katana swords, one each hand. His cape is blowing to the left side. There's a red and black solid colour background. On the left top says: Mythic Robin, and under it there are three symbols, from left to right: Titans, Batman and a symbol for Weapon Master - it is a dagger and a handgun in a blue background.

Now watching #Waterworld. Still baffled how this wild, salt sprayed epic tanked at the box office. I’ve loved it since day one. Here’s to another glorious rewatch on the open seas! 🌊🐟🐠🦀🐙

I don’t know about your household, but in mine we’re still belting out:

“Oh, I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’
Like I’m born to be…
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be!”

Every. Single. Time. As if tomorrow doesn’t even exist!!! 🤩

I can’t comment/quote repost this, but I still wanted to share it because these are amazing tips, especially for those of us trying to break into the industry. Crowdfunding is probably the most realistic route for many, and advice like this can save you a ton of hassle down the line!
In their post, Iron Spike said: I'm sure most of you don't need to be told, but just in case: If you ever plan to run a crowdfund? You'll probably get emails like this at the start. Don't fall for it. This is bullshit and does not work. The email they mentioned has redacted words sentences to maintain confidentiality, the readable part says: Hello there, I came across your Unsounded: Books One and Two campaign on Kickstarter and wanted to reach out. is an invite-only club for serious backers interested in crowdfunding campaigns. With over 300k subscribers to our newsletter, we offer excellent rates to help promote your project through our dedicated announcements.

Absolutely loving Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Grabbed it last weekend for something new and oh laddie, I’m hooked (when I’m not at work or school, ha!). It’s so stunning, I sometimes just sit and stare at the screen instead of playing! #Expedition33
The poster for the video game Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 features a fantasy scene with the four main characters walking toward the Paintress, who is seated on a throne with her head bowed and hair cascading downward.

I’ve no words, only feelings, after experiencing #Andor. What a masterclass in Star Wars storytelling! The aesthetic, the writing, the costumes!! Every element clicks into place like a perfectly tuned blaster. I’m watching Rogue One tonight and no one, not even Mon Mothma herself can stop me! 🤩

I don’t care what anyone says, #Andor is the best Star Wars story ever told. Not a single lightsaber in sight, and it still blows everything else out of the water.
Andor’s poster with main characters facing opposite sides. Cassian and Krennic are upfront.

Sound the eco-alarms and summon the Planeteers… IT’S HERE, Y’ALL! Captain Planet #1 has officially dropped!!! I’ve been waiting forever (okay, just a really long time) for this and I cannot wait to dive in after work. The power is mine… after 4PM!
By writer @peposed.bsky.social art by Eman Cassallos
Captain Planet comic issue #1 cover by Mark Spears. He’s never looked cooler! Rockin’ a bold red suit, spiked-up hair, and a fresh green beard to match,, like eco-warrior meets fashion icon. All tied together with that flawless blue skin. Mother Earth would be proud!

Just watched Wolf King and wow! What a surprise! No clue about the novels, just hit play and BAM! Killer story, stunning animation, total vibe. Easy watch that blew my lid. Bring on season 2! #WolfKing
The Wolf King poster. Drew, the main character and werewolf, holding a large sword vertically in front of his face. The blade of the sword splits his face down the middle, on one side is his normal human appearance, and on the other side, reflected in the sword, is his wolf form face.
