It’s Cael! 🐀🏳️‍⚧️ @caelarkh.itch.io · Oct 19
Howdy folks! The name's Cael, welcome to my queer little gremlin corner! When I'm not busy fiddling with minis, brainrotting about ttrpg games, or listening history podcasts, I write Lancer modules about punching fascists! Check them out at caelarkh.itch.io ☺️
The cover of Ironbound Shadows, a big ol three-mission Lancer narrative about foiling a fascist paramilitary organization trying to perpetuate The Troubles in Baronic Greek-Ireland. The cover features artwork by Naruga that displays two mechs facing off within an arena. A page from a combat encounter in Ironbound Shadows displaying a dense tactics and narrative section alongside a detailed combat map. The encounter is an arena combat against Pluto and Pomegranate, a duo of lovey-dovey Pankrati performers A spread of pages from In Nehal Blue, a one-mission Lancer game jam about foiling the Riddler in Baronic Space Toronto written alongside Ash and Gold and Nyx. This page details the player background as low-ranking Karrakins and provides potential noble sponsors. Another page uses public-domain artwork by Winslow Homer of crashing waves off of a rocky coast. The intro beat from Tennessee Garcia and the Raiders of the Slumbering Leviathan, a Lancer one-shot written with Ash and Gold and Nyx about being Spanish/Moroccan Indiana Jones and punching fascists

I should rewatch Maquia one of these days. Remember it being a messy and yet really pretty, stirring movie.

A stylized poster featuring two people dressed in long-skirted maid outfits - Dulcinea, a sickly-looking ginger pointing to the camera with a serving tray at her hip, and Brambles, a cheery brunette with warmer skin, bird-feathered ears, and a stockier build. The poster is in fact an advertisement for a maid cafe titled "Dan's Dogs", with ad-styled language interspersed with references to it being "definitely NOT a rebel Lancer cell!" Brambles is Meowmai's blorbo <3 A brightly-colored illustration by Moonssnail of two college kids being flirty. May, a blue-eyed kumiho with warm skin and orange hair, kneels over her boyfriend Eliseo as they both lay on the couch. May's three tails - one black, two orange - wag as she plants her hands on Eliseo's hips and stares into his eyes with a flirty, lovesick expression. Eliseo, a much taller, paler boy with elven ears, dark sclera, and messy blond hair, looks surprised but interested in whatever shenanigans his girlfriend has in mind. Eliseo is Gullara's blorbo, for the record <3 A warmly-colored illustration of Dulcinea and Brambles in casual attire as they cuddle on a couch. Brambles grins broadly to a smiling Dulcinea as she laughs and rests a hand on Bramble's knee, her own legs stretched out beneath hers. A cane leans against the couch and steam swirls from mugs of hot chocolate in the foreground. Brambles is, again, Meowmai's blorbo <3 Older art of Stazja, a Korean woman with orange hair, a fox tail, and a jagged scar across her face. Stazja wears a plaid purple suit as she stands in an alley, looking off to the side as she wipes blood off a katana-style sword with Korean inscription. Behind her lay the butchered bodies of three men in tactical/security attire, whom she has killed in a bloody fight.

Ngl this is how Ive been for months. I kinda wanna rigorously tag my doodles and writing and tabletop posting, but at the end of the day even if I do I cannot stay consistent.

Plus all of my old posts won't have those tags so it's like. Whatever. Find my eight pages.

while I'm here, here's Ruin's cover without the text.

read here: beastcutter.itch.io/ruin (explicit)
Black and grey painting of a man holding a crucifix and stake. He has glasses with one of the lens cracked, obscuring his features. Two pale clawed hands reach down from above to frame his face. There's a small red line of blood trickling from his neck and red dots at the hands and feet on the crucifix.

Think I’m gonna try and work on the next chapter of I Want Things To Be Beautiful this week. I already have my outline cooked and my intro scene written, so I’m hoping it will flow nice and easy.

Got some real fun outlining done for my next big project I think! Been having lots of trouble hammering out how I wanna structure it and how much room I want between combats to breathe, and I think the first mission’s finally coalescing

digital art by @cupronickell/honeybytte of grimm, who is looking up at yarrow (off-screen) with adoration in its eyes. yarrow's bug hand hold their face digital art by @rennybu of grimm kissing yarrow's cheek. sunset-like lighting reflects in the background comic by @liokkamillie. panels 1-2: yarrow leans on a fence and watches grimm brush stormy, emphasis is given to grimm's exposed back. panels 3-4: yarrow mutters "God it's hot..." and grimm replies, "DId you say something, Yarrow?" Yarrow is very embarassed. panels 5-6 : yarrow stammers and leans away from the fence saying "Oh, um, well. It's...hot outside?" panel 7: grimm continues attending to stormy with an "it is pretty hot out today." while yarrow can be seen in the background burying their head in their hands digital art by @noisyghost of yarrow with his bugmouth open, looking intimidating

it’s very good for your spirit to learn to recognise the individual birds around your home, and to give them names

once you can identify them by name, you’ll learn so very many things about these neighbours you didn’t realise you had

after a time, you may even start to learn their language — a joy
