Alright. so, technically, I've always been open. But due to having a perpetually full queue, I rarely advertise myself.

That has changed lately, so I'm branching out and diversifying.

If you have questions or a submission, send me a message, DMs always open!

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

Its my modified airsoft AUG, I like to run airsoft in "Tactical hi-vis" for the drip and someone on here offered to turn my funky gun into a sticker, and I thought "heck, why not"

Become something new...

Some fanart for @iryx.tgirl.gay and her transhuman stories, because they Scrambled my brain~

Read them here: iryx.gay (With the IS-64 Blacklight, and those who BECOME them featuring in a few!)

An IS-64 hypersonic aircraft ascends into the upper atmosphere past the clouds, wreathed in plasma from hypersonic flight.

Text reads "IS-64 Blacklight"
Strategic Interceptor // Airframe-pilot complex
No Joystick.
No pedals.
No buttons.
No switches.
Only you.

Your engines scream a wordless howl, your intakes drink in the deep blue, your sensors see like no eyes ever could.

You have a body.
It is eight-three tons of alloy and ceramic.

You are a weapon.
You will never be the same again.

Join MYSTIC GREEN.
Become something new."

Bottom right text reads "Delivering tomorrows victories, today.
"UNION AEROSPACE"

They keep asking me to test some game, which always struck me as obvious phishing behavior.

I meant to ask you about it but I kept forgetting by the time I actually woke up.

Reclamation heavy lift aircraft bringing equipment and personnel into the valley of Two-Sky River.

The small cockpit windows are mainly a backup for the augmented reality sensorium helmets worn by pilots; a technology favored by House Kendi.

Noodled on this thing a little more. I do like the idea behind it but I'm still only 90% on actually implementing it because I'd like to avoid bloat.

It may provide opportunities for desirable campaign mechanics though.

Yeah everything up to that point was, not the least problematic literature I've ever read, but on its own terms a fun story about the schemes of the nobility with some science fantasy set dressing.

Dune Messiah is like a misogyny% speedrun in literary form.

Gerard Riley @gerardriley.bsky.social · 6d

I recently read through the Dune Books up to the current point of the recent movies and was surprised to find them not -quite- as problematic as I expected

I then immediately went into Dune Messiah and holy shit, I've never seen a book pre-emptively disqualify itself from the Bechdel test before

I am mostly done with ships for now, but I had a vague idea of making haphazard derelict kitbashes as automated ships the fleet may use to stretch out their manpower, built from scavenged derelict wrecks

Maybe combat logistics ships? since I kinda just haven't made any of those yet

not sure yet
