Listening to warrior princess assassin as I work lately and I like to go into books mostly blind.

This book has me side eyeing all these interactions and what was first going to be an annoying love triangle is… is this gonna be a throuple? If this book is just teasing I’m gonna be MAD

Now I can’t even find that supposed Nanaimo listing. Bah.

I’m so mad it’s so hard for me to find a showing of del toro’s Frankenstein for Halloween. I’m going to be in Victoria, Canada at the time and I guess I have to drive to Nanaimo? Bah. Netflix doing the bare minimum to make it award eligible

Ugh. So hard to roll out of bed today and start Monday

Ohhh I know the perfect comic for you to try. It’s a bit horror and has an anime out on Netflix called the summer Hikaru died.

Gorgeous comic but forever incomplete since they left it on permanent hiatus after real life natural disasters made the setting seem a bit too inappropriate at the time.

I remember distinctly the first time the expanded from dragonball to anything else was fruitsbasket, and it was a super surprise they went for a Shojo

Artschools usually have professors or student clubs that invite people like this. I was head of my society of illustrators club, and we’d go through a process of inviting artists. Comics professor also knew a lot of local people in the industry so he’d ask them for talks.

Escape from Princess Lessons made the mistake of not being about Brie from the beginning. Volume 4 is sooo freaking good I can't stop laughing.

Yoru loves food. Fragrant stews, tasty meat buns, and sweet pastries, the works! That’s why it’s a shame he’s a vampire—he can only stomach real food if he drinks blood first. Thus, Yoru hunts criminals and evildoers, all for his beloved supper.

My Beloved Supper is available now! buff.ly/8E6SEqV

some halloween nuts figure out the date michaels puts stuff out so sometimes they sell out of the good stuff early. sometimes they get additional shipments to replace, but I like to look at the site first before I go so I know what I wanna look for.

Aila @aila.bsky.social · 13d

Look, dragon skulls and skellys in bathtubs with a kitty lol

They usually have the best Halloween decor. There was only one year target hired a designer I loved for their Halloween line. But I also limit myself so we’re not living in a Halloween house

… what did I miss about Michael’s? lol

Aila @aila.bsky.social · 15d

Yeah. Like I was gonna read the book but I didn’t plan on keeping it for my permanent collection, and already planned to eventually get rid of it after I heard it was made with so, so I might as well just sell it

Aila @aila.bsky.social · 15d

Holy crap, I’d be stupid not to consider reselling this month’s fairyloot book if the stupid book is selling for over 200$. Like damn do I really wanna scalp… But then on the other hand it sounds like the cover was done by AI and I don’t have an interest of keeping a book with an AI cover

yeah, when they have male chapters or female chapters it's not really bad unless the actor is, or the director messed up, but this one had the dude saying lines in the middle of a paragraph after the woman would narrate.
