Oh, I’m sorry, you thought because I have written books I want to sell them? No! Don’t be silly. I just put them on the shelf to look intellectual. Well, I guess you could too:
#TheDamsel a.co/d/frKFpqq
#FoolsBlood a.co/d/5gEv7Z2
and a bunch of short stories and novellas ko-fi.com/imagine/shop

The books sat on the floor looking tempting

That’s fair enough. I still research too. It’s hard to break the habit. But it’s nice to have a hand wavy explanation ready.

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah. It’s different for each own. And is it a focus of the story or just the setting? I highly recommend everyone else start setting stories in your own universe. You don’t have to do research ever again.

Why did Putin jump into my mind?

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah. It’s interesting to think about. One of my worlds delves into that a bit but it’s more background for a larger story.

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah it’s an allegory for our modern times.

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah. It’s fun each time I write a story I ask myself what kind of world I want to set it on. Is it totally realistic. Or does it have overt supernatural elements or is it a different time period?

Humans are just so boring. You know? They’ve been done to death

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 13h

There aren’t any humans left so it’s kind of irrelevant. But they do all live out their lives with the purpose of mimicking human culture both real and fictional because sometimes history blurs the lines. That is their guidance. #TBBChat

My robots are generally powered by similar things that power us but also sunlight and wireless technology. The future is grand when you create your own universe. #TBBChat

Sana is a very depressed robot. Though she might be happy in a near indestructible humanoid body. Right now she’s a digital life form and feeling kinda vulnerable because an ancient virus has awoken that might delete the whole system. But that’s just background. #TBBChat

Funny story. All the characters in all of my stories are robots. Writing about humans is boring. So my stories are set in the far future when mankind has died out and life forms evolved from the robots they left behind now populate the universe with diverse cultures. #TBBChat

Yoru’s gonna Yoru

The Rebecca (IQ = 277 (real)(not fake)) @s666132.bsky.social · 1d

I tried to figure out what my top 10 Yoru panels would be and I think it’s these.

The main criteria is how Yoru they are

Chainsaw Man 193

Yoru threatens to turn Denji into a weapon while the city burns behind her

Chainsaw Man 210

A blushing Yoru declares her love for America and gives a peace sign

Chainsaw Man 215

A smiling Yoru sits on a pile of guts

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 1d

This is legit canon

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 1d

And the whole Robot bit was pretty good I can see them upping the ante on that.

Imagine Being Critical Of… @emmajuned.bsky.social · 1d

I remember it getting weirder and stuff but honestly I think the Conquest fight was the best fight int he whole of the comic series. Not to say it’s downhill from here. Still great stuff but they’re gonna have to embellish

Marvel Mania @marvelmania.bsky.social · 1d

Robert Kirkman says ‘INVINCIBLE’ Season 4 is “bigger and scarier and more intense.

“We’ve got to top that Conquest fight somehow, so get ready for season 4.”

I’m getting bette tone. I think I cracked it. Just gotta get used to this new bed time routine. Thank you

One night of bad sleep: “I slept four hours….😓”

A week of bad sleep: “I slept four hours!😆😄🫠”

(In truth I slept five hours then meditated for two so I’m feeling pretty good right now)
