New manifesting goal.
I want to get a story into the eventual BELLS HELLS: STORIES UNTOLD collection. Let me write Orym. Let me write Ashton. Let me write Dorian. Any of them.
Please, gods, I want so much for this to happen that it physically hurts.

A book given to me by my late, great, ever-awesome Nana when I was maybe three years old.
Gyo Fujikawa's A CHILD'S BOOK OF POEMS. I still have it almost 50 years later - it is dog-eared, falling apart, pages are torn, there are childish scribbles ALL over it, and I still absolutely love this book.

I nearly *SCREAMED* when I realized there was a godsdamned chart that almost perfectly explained my usual mental state.
(And then someone else did an awesome graphic depicting the various states.)

This was my go-to in college and my friends dubbed it "Michelle's Happy Soup." It's a fast and dirty version of avgolemono.

H. A. Rey's "Find the Constellations", and Robert Kraus' "Herman the Helper"...
But fairy tales were ENGRAVED into my personality thanks to these exquisitely illustrated books my Nana gave me when I was four.

@voiceofobrien.bsky.social Hey, Liam - a couple of us Beacon Bits have a question... is the inspiration for the Hallowed Round (assuming it's an amphitheatre) something like the Ancient Theatre at Delphi? (But with a bigass tree in the middle of the stage?)

Someone just posted on the #CriticalRole Reddit that they're wondering if this year's Halloween theme is "Everyone dresses like @alexanderward.bsky.social" and I am *PRAYING* this is the case.
(Then someone else chimed in hoping that they told Alex something COMPLETELY different and he's in pink.)

Almost 30 years later, Chris Nelsen's soundtrack for CHAOS OVERLORDS still holds up. "Gathering Storm" and "Torn Asunder" in particular were regular features on any Shadowrun playlist of mine.
(I also used more than a few of the gang names for some of my CITY OF VILLAINS characters.) :D
