Nephrite Heart

like the specific use case for me is that subscribestar lets me support people who make edgy exciting stuff. what are we doing here

if I'm looking at the new subscribestar guidelines, a screenshot of the cowboy from overwatch is now banned material

the secret to rhu's writing is that there is always something wonderful and human underpinning the whole thing, no matter how dark.

(If you read The Sum Of Its Parts, you might learn more about a tank that plays a bit part in Death Rider!)

Giving Death Rider by Rhuairidh James a "how did a Death Korps novel make me ugly-cry" out of five. I'm shocked

you all gotta hop on this book immediate

in the past few days I have bounced between a mc/tf superhero story, a warhammer book, and Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came

it's gonna treat you right

(accelerationist voice) buff pot until he wins TNS every week

being a fighting game fan on bluesky rules because like 1% of the fgc is over here and the rest of my followers don't understand what I'm talking about, so I can just say anything. potemkin is a zoner. make a new darkstalkers and put vergil in it.

yes! and the way that you allow the narrative focus to hang out with the people they drain, exulting in their predicament, I literally can't get it out of my mind

I say, as I main the dysphoria zombie whose only personality trait is a horse

Sagat getting woobified in a cutscene

here's how much of a big marshmallow I am, Sagat's redemption arc makes me cry. he has no crafted narrative, he's barely a character, but the sheer fact of his longevity in real years makes the capacity for change hit home for me. never tiger knee yourself

I feel like I'm running on 3x earth gravity and caffeine is the only thing keeping me sentient right now but we must ball nonetheless

after reading gears x gems I think Io and Dione are hot because of the gloating. they outclass their prey and laugh and delight and grind it in their faces that they used to be something more. it's so dark and compelling!

I'm trying to internalize this as someone figuring out their deal later in life and in isolation. this cheered me up and gives me some hope :)

about halfway through Death Rider and I actually love it when writers gently tap the "empire" part of "tau empire"

this book is a masterclass in showing that even an ideal Imperial territory is still awful, and that there is no woke or sanitized way to do a war of conquest

every year I forget that the first few nights after daylight saving time are wretched for sleep, and bad sleep hits way harder in middle age.

all those people doing ~emergent gameplay~ in Marathon of trucies are sure doing it on different instances than me, I'm trying to get a single faction unlocked and I get smoked by other players constantly bc we're all going after the exact same building

Have u considered being an evil brunette (growing up this trope was very formative)

Kara Buster would be a pretty good name and would also instill primordial hindbrain loathing in people who have been trained to fear armored command grabs

it feels like big game maker studios are in an endless cycle of forever-death and we need a better way to do things than "wait for the guys with the money to stop setting it on fire"

I wrote some erotica a few years ago that was gently critiqued for being a little too mean for the reader's taste, and now it feels quaint compared to the stuff girlies are reading and writing now

pretending to be happy for ork players who are prob gonna get a starter set and a bunch of new kits that look like every other ork thing. they should just come pre drenched in streaking grime

I think what you have to do is, follow a critical mass of ao3 writers and dynasty scans manga so you get something new to read every time you wanna.

trips and jayce doing the fusion dance to create the final form of a dude who sucks

triple H playing jayce in arcane: piltover? you're damn right I'm over (somehow kills a zaunite urchin by spitting a swig of water in the air)

yessss

ending of Phantasy Star 2

reading some stuff this weekend that really makes me want to write again
