Hey, I know everything’s tight, but Rob was a great advocate for our #ttrpg community, a fine game writer himself, and has sadly left his family behind in the capitalist hellscape. I’ve given a bit and ask you to consider it if you can.

On top of this being a stellar interview by Swara, this discussion of Arezou writing demisexual characters in a romance novel really struck me DEEP!

The book also explores demisexuality, which doesn’t get explored anywhere near enough in pop culture. Can you elaborate on that, please?

So from the outset, I knew Sharzad was demisexual, and that sort of played into part of her struggle with with finding a partner, and that it is very, very difficult to date while demisexual. I am definitely speaking from experience, because especially the pace of modern dating is very hookup culture driven, and that’s just incompatible with demisexuality. And then Sam was another thing, where it sort of came to me as I developed his character, where I’m like, well, he also doesn’t strike me as the hook up kind of guy, even if he is a recovering finance bro. That doesn’t seem to be where he’s at. And then, you know, demisexuality, asexuality is a spectrum. Lots of people experience it differently. So then I felt if they are both on this spectrum somewhere and just have different experiences of it, then that makes for a very interesting dynamic, because for her, it really informs her dating life as a whole, because it’s constant advances from people who would like to have a sexual relationship, and she’s just not interested because she doesn’t know them like that. But for Sam, he has this sort of male privilege in being a demisexual man who can express interest in a partner, and they’ll go out and he will not want to be sexually active with them quickly and to them, that’s just he’s doing the gentlemanly thing, and he never really has to explain this to anybody. He can simply be demisexual, and they don’t need to know. Whereas for her it’s, it’s sort of the first thing she needs to tell people. So just kind of exploring them from different like from how their genders affect it, to how they’re different places on the spectrum. I hope I have done it justice.

I know that it is probably very juvenile to think this way but this week has already left me exhausted, because so many people who made this world better have suddenly left it, and the ones making it worse are still here

I really need people to actually sit down and properly watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and then look me in the eye and tell me that AI could ever possibly write something so earnest that it reads like a comic written by an excellent, super imaginative 11 year old.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Feeling the comparison blues?
Feeling like your projects and pursuits just arent getting off of the ground while it seems EVERYONE else is living their dream?
You are not alone!

BUT
You're making things and chasing a dream. The journey of others has nothing to do with yours, so be nice to yourself
