Now that it appears that this is going to become my primary account - hi! I'm Charles.

You might know me from my Star Wars podcasts or the queer writing that I do. I also enjoy being insufferable about video games, books, tv shows, and history.

My cat's name is Jonathan Harker (Harker for short.)

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

It is a vital addition to any sentence and I’m prepared to enact violence in its defense.

The worst part of self-editing is discovering that for almost every question more complex than "should this be capitalized", you will find that self-described grammar experts on the internet disagree LOUDLY and INTENSELY on the topic.

I like this a lot actually. If we must treat publishing as just an expansion of visual media now, taking the time to breathe and tell a missing piece of the story like this is a great idea. I’m looking forward to this one.

Master & Apprentice story on TYTHON! #StarWars

Set between Episodes VIII and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.

After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed. Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.

Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete. As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst. With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

The japanese translation for Pathof Deceit has been announcer along with its covers. Like the other High Republic YA books, the book is being split in 2 parts.
Take a look at these beautiful, stunning art pieces:

This art made me realize that Traya is using three sabers here because she is the triumvirate at that point.

Also what was that one where you decipher a language on a distant planet and there’s a robot? That one.

I’ve seen monster romancers and monster fuckers but I’ve never seen a monster whatever-the-hell-Yoshiki-has-going-on. No spoilers but I think we need to invent a new category just for this guy.

The Summer Hikaru Died is amazing btw and everyone should watch it.

It’s time to get back to canon! This week, we cover the first half of Tales of the Underworld, the long-awaited Asajj Ventress backdoor pilot. Well, second backdoor pilot. (As a bonus, we also talk about Disney’s panicked PR release of the Mando and Grogu trailer!)

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes?

EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep.

Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like?

EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick.

I find this with my writing too - sometimes I feel like I’m remixing the same bag of storytelling devices that I personally like and just don’t have the time to learn to use new ones, so it feels like I’m repeating myself a lot
