Stranger Things 5 was good actually y'all just confuse "didn't end exactly the way I wanted it to" with "bad writing"

SometimesRaven - Twitch Welcome to the murder! My name's Raven (they/them) and I'm a queer, chronically ill bard from the UK! You can expect character-focused streaming here: that is, everything we play and do is focused on ...

Whaddup party people! I'm gonna be revisiting Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines tonight at about 8pm UK time! Then tomorrow we'll be delving back into F.E.A.R. for its 20th anniversary <3 twitch.tv/sometimesrav...

SO. We have some options this month. I'll be streaming on Tuesday afternoons and Fridays as we did in September, and more specific schedule will follow but FIRST:

I have a handful of games I wouldn't mind playing this month. What would you like to see? 👀

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

A streamer's monthly schedule. The background is blue trees beneath a yellow sky, and to the left of the picture is Raven, a person with mid-length blue hair, round glasses and a roundish face, standing leaning on a walking cane with their eyes looking up and to the left of the frame. They are wearing a long-sleeved blue top with a green vest with white flowers on the front. At the top of the image is the word "SUBTEMBER" in a fantasy-style font reminiscent of the Morrowind logo. The lettering is blue with a yellow outline. Beneath is is white plain text reading "Subject to change based on life events + spoons. Keep an eye on Twitch + Discord for changes." To the right of this is two blue ovals inside which is the twitch username "sometimesraven" and the tiktok username "authoroconnor" The main focus of the image is six large ovals inside which is a day, time, and subject of the upcoming streams. These are: "Tuesday 9th - Productivty/Coworking, 2pm BST" "Friday 12th - Dragon Age The Veilguard, 8pm BST" "Tuesday 16th - Productivty/Coworking, 2pm BST" "Friday 19th - TES Oblivion Remastered, 8pm BST" "Tuesday 23rd - Productivty/Coworking, 2pm BST" "Friday 26th - Baldur's Gate 3, 8pm BST"

Happy #Subtember!!! This month new subs are discounted! In celebration I'm doing an extra #twitchstream per week to try and lock in (and to make me get up before midday at least once a week 😭)! Catch me every second, third and fourth Tuesday at 2pm and Friday at 8pm (BST) on twitch.tv/sometimesraven

this is horrifying and dystopian etc but also the way it's worded makes it sound like it wasn't horny ENOUGH for Patreon 😭 "remove any parts that don't meet the guideline of 'sexually gratifying content' pls there's too much plot in this porn"

"Jewish" here is also a generalisation: Erik is Middle Eastern and Sephardic. "Disabled" refers to a variety of characters: we have physically disabled characters, Deaf characters, some with Mutism, some neurodivergent, some mentally ill

I should mention that when I say "East/South Asian" the characters are specifically Korean and Pakistani. I recognise the demographics contain a LOT of different cultures but for the sake of actually finding someone I've had to generalise.

If you're a Scottish VA or able to do a Scottish accent (ESPECIALLY if you're East/South Asian, Jewish, queer +/ disabled) I want to hear from you especially! #scottishVA #voiceactor #voiceacting #audiobook #audiodrama #castingcall

I'm already so blown away by the auditions I've received on Reckless Truth: The Audiobook so far!!! It's absolutely buck-wild hearing these characters I've known for most of my life finally start to come to life so Tangibly. Still a long way to go so check it out! castingcall.club/projects/rec...

thank you so much for the boost <3

No harm in auditioning regardless! Accents don't have to have spot on localisation, most are flexible as long as the general country/area is there (if I wanted Exact Localisation I'd be real outta luck on most of the characters with how small the UK voice acting scene seems to be 😂)

#writersky #booksky #supportindieauthors #supportsmallcreators uhhh how does bsky tagging work uhhh #indieauthor #authorcrowdfunding #audiobook #crowdfunding

OTHERS: If you can't afford to donate and aren't interested in acting for the project, PLEASE share both links around as much as possible so those who want to can find them!!!!
ALSO THERE'S NO GENERATIVE AI INVOLVED. ABSOLUTELY NONE. AND WILL NEVER BE.

BACKERS: The VAs need to Be Payed! ATM I'll be paying out of pocket but if you want to support both a Very Poor Author and their quest to Actually Pay Artists, please consider donating to the GoFundMe! ALL funds will go to the VAs, read the description for more specific info gofund.me/8031c5f1

VOICE ACTORS: We're looking for American, Scottish and English actors from diverse backgrounds to fill a variety of roles. Check the casting call here: castingcall.club/projects/rec... and feel free to DM me if you need more info (I'm more scared of you than you are of me I promise!)

"Be kind to your body, it's carried you your whole life!" babe my body has tried to SABOTAGE me my whole life. I wanted to be a nurse so it suddenly made me faint at random medical shit. It was strangling me with my umbilical cord at BIRTH. I reserve the right to call my body a little bitch.

One of the hardest things in the world, especially if you're someone who has historically been silenced or falsely accused of things, is stepping back and apologising. But if we want to be effective activists, especially when speaking on topics we are not personally affected by, we have to learn.

"what radicalised you" I picked up a Benjamin Zephaniah book at like 6 years old and developed Woke a little early

Hot tip for my fellow divergents wanting to talk in a Twitch chat but not knowing how to: Just Be Autism. Do not be afraid to literally just have your first message be some goofy shit. I just rolled into someone's chat and said "froiiiiiidayyyy" with a nodding/headbang emote. It really is that easy

We’re fine, they’re fuckin stupid and someone chased them off but hahaha

Someone just tried to fuckin break in ✌️🤪
