A series of images showing Genzou and Iggy from the game Our Wonderland. Genzou runs off to get a box to he can kiss Iggy and it's very sweet. The last panel has Iggy saying "You could just ask me to lean down," to which Genzou responds "It's about the thrill of the hunt, Iggs."

Took a few hours to draw for a video again and it promptly got suppressed every place I posted it and I almost started crying LOL I think I've been pushing myself too much...๐Ÿ’ฆ

Well, I'll share it here because I thought it was very sweet...( ยด โ€• `)ใ‚ž I perchance need to not be as hard on myself.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isnโ€™t living in a bubble. I donโ€™t need to know whatโ€™s going on at X. I wonโ€™t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Digital drawing/digital art comic cover by BurakkuHardt colored in watercolor style.
The cover shows a school building in the background with some branches in black ink, and 5 teens standing infront of the building wearing school uniforms.
The title of the comic is "Alles Paletti; A Hangmans Crew AU" and the cover has been doodled over like how kids might doodle in a yearbook

Comic, original story, original universe, writer, artist, illustration, illustrator, AU, alternate universe. Original characters

@kymberleyc.bsky.social is not only a great voice actor, but has so far written four jazz tracks for The Left Eye!

In a glimpse into her creative process, you see all the passion and experience for storytelling that she brings to her music!

A screenshot of a visual novel. A pair of boots, viewed from behind, dangle down. The text printer UI takes up the bottom third of the screen, and the narration reads: "Her legs swing over the edge of the bunk, and I see a flash of truth: army boots, bare legs." The image is in monochrome with a slight dreamy blur/chromatic aberration effect.

Don't cross the picket line!

Do not play any games from Ubisoft, don't discuss them (without the context of the strike), DON'T BUY THEM.

Ubisoft might not be everyone's cup of tea but their workers are doing their thing and fighting for better conditions and we need to show support.

Wrote a thing for the Neruromyths Zine, supported by the Royal Society of Literature! My entry is The Eel, a mermaid/sea monster story thatโ€™s sat in my thoughts for 10+ years. Itโ€™s close to my heart, and to my understanding of who I am.
