"The World is a Hungry Place" Flash Fiction. An adept takes his masters place. But in a city of betrayals, what will be the cost?

Something wicked this way comes. It's Veylan the Betrayal.🪐📚💙

I view Ressurection as a spin-off. It is not canon. But it is also the dumbest fun.

Check out the suburban angst on this one. 🪐📚💙

Meet the black sheep of the Scarlet Sarks.🪐📚💙

In the original scene, they were about to eat a smaller orc they'd just killed. I think that context would be appropriate here. And just go ahead and put one in a blonde wig.

The first sketch from Scarlet Sarks has dropped over at Substack. Come meet Magaritte. 🪐📚💙

Ch.6: The Snow and the Killings from A Murder in Min'Krinath (6/6)

"A thousand dark corridors he had hunted prey; staggered down crooked stairs and scree of bone in perpetual bellies of darkness; fled his enemy pel mel into the void. And now, Shadowvaster’s hands wrung sweat off the hilt of his old master’s sword."🪐📚💙

Calling this a Hobbit book insults Jemison and Tolkien at the same time. But you do you I guess.

Thanks to that one guy who likes my posts. @tonytravis.com is a man of taste. 💙📚🪐

Ch.3: The Tales of Zahaza from A Murder in Min'Krinath (3/6)

“Good enough to fall in with murderers,” Bulrgam rumbled. “Fifteen dead: Kitan Hesh”—he spat on the floor—“a washerwoman, a baker.” He took up the whole doorway, a dark, impassable mountain. “Verayal what looked after you while your mother was away. You joined the man who slaughtered her.” 📚🪐💙

One day, Trump is going to start arguing with himself on and then we're going to realize that Donald Trump was just a bunch of chatbots the whole time.

i can see the pepperoni

Ch.1: The Rains of Min’Krinath from A Murder in Min'Krinath (1/6)

📚🪐💙 Looking for your new favorite sub-genre? I'm calling this cozy sword & sorcery. After many horrible adventures in many horrible places, Shadowvaster just wants to settle down. But the murder club won't let him. He can handle them, but will it cost him his place in the community he's found?

i won't ruin it for them that follow.

I genuinely think Disney heard about the Poe/Finn ships and told the writers/directors to keep them apart at all costs. Thus, we got Rose and Cantobyte.

There was no "supposed to." There was no plan. But, picking up from TLJ (what i remember), I'd say it set Kylo up as the final boss with a fat question over his redemption arc. The death of Luke could spark all sorts of questions from Rey about the future of the Jedi. Just examples.

I still hold that if Abrams had just followed Johnsons lead for the final movie, we'd feel a lot better about the sequel trilogy as a whole. Not great, but better.

White Lotus vibes. Which one gets it at the end?

Give this admin an inch and they will send you to El Salvador. It only takes a few big actors (like the ivy leagues) to tell them they can fuck off with their funding. Bullies don’t stand long against resistance.

I genuinely hope they go after SS death benefits. That would be a glorious level of stupidity.

Secret service packing heat and standing next to the traitor doing absolutely nothing.
