Hades II - Strife and the Golden Apple

To everyone experiencing HADES II for the first time this week, sorry in advance for Eris.😓

She's Strife Incarnate and can't help herself! They say she started the Trojan War as a prank with a single golden apple, like the one in this new piece by our illustrator Jeremy Anninos.🌖

“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.

Extrait de Pourpre-sang, tome 1. Scène de bal dans un immense palais. Les danseurs sont richement vêtu, poudré et coiffée de perruque façon 17e-18e siecle. Au centre de la scène, un homme d’age mûr habillé d’un costume couleur menthe danse avec une jeune femme blonde au cheveux court et a la robe sombre.

Extrait de Pourpre-sang, tome 1. L’homme couleur menthe presente à ses invités une curieuse relique mortuaires protègé par un dôme de verre. Derriere lui et ses domestiques, est exposé une statue antique ainsi qu’une tapisserie médiévale

En ce 7 mai de cette année, vous êtes généreusement convié au bal d’Équinoxe de sa grâce, le Gouverneur La Godec dans son prestigieux palais de Tureine. Venez vêtit de vos plus beaux atours pour une soirée inoubliable 💃

"Measles is here to stay."
"Digital dementia in children is here to stay."
"Pulling extra hard on hangnails is here to stay."

"Here to stay" has been 💩fucking cringe💩 (for a while now!) and everyone needs to stop saying it unless it's about a dog. That is all.

Mira, a girl in a thick sweater with ear-like points coming out of the top of her head, looks down an eerily lit valley of petrified faces. A group of mechanical teapot-creatures crawl across their surface. The encounter feels ominous.

"The teapots are crossing Godmouth"

Updated version now that Bluesky can handle the format correctly. I always enjoyed how the lighting came out in this one.

@itssteffnow.bsky.social did this absolutely stunning illustration for Awaken, My Love.

Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

The @moderation.blacksky.app moderation tool has a "Synthetic Media" labeler which accurately hid this image for me, FYI.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Whenever executives say they cancel or refuse to green light projects with women, POC, or LGBTQ protagonists because “market research” shows that white males can’t relate, I always take “market research” to mean “browsed 4chan.”

Male executives would rather lose billions of potential profit just so they can avoid marketing actual products that appeal to girls.

See a couple, post a couple. 💙🖤

The affect of a well-intoned "dude, what the fuck did you say?" Is truly remarkable.

People all the time say "I want to be an ally, how can I help?" And most of the time the answer is just to call out gross behavior.

A drawing of a Muppet-y Cloud Strife riding on a Big-Bird-like chocobo.

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

behind every incurious ignorant boob like this who's a Big Success in entertainment there's couple thousand much smarter, more talented women you'll never hear of bc they got sick of all the condescension & groping and quit the industry

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him

how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?
