🎃 silurica / しるりか 🍎 @silurica.bsky.social · Oct 20

Hi henlo! You may know me as silurica or arde_alba from elsewhere. Some of my interests:
- Pokemon! I like the games and TCG
- Anime and manga (Penguindrum and 3-gatsu no Lion are some of my forever faves)
- Oldschool (?) BEMANI (I love 猫叉Master and あさき)
- Sound Horizon

Other socials↓↓↓

A drawing of two characters. The shorter one says, "I'm on bluesky. blueskyを始めました！よろしくおねがいします" The taller one holds a sign that says silurica.bsky.social

A picture of my desk. There is a sheet of paper, pens and pencils for drawing, and various other small things. Further back there is a row of music albums, a Pokemon card on display, and Articuno and Komala dolls.

『終わりの鳥』（Tuesday）観てきました！　A24製のデスインコ、見逃すわけにはいかない。死はインコの形をしている、という突飛な設定ながら、説得力と必然性があってナイス。人が話を始めると熱心に耳を傾ける。それがインコ。一見ベニコンゴウインコのようで絶妙に違う外見も良いですね。異様な存在感がある。絶滅種も混ぜてキャラデザしたそうで納得。 #birds

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

Here's a comic essay we made last year about Lunar Boy and QPOC representation 🌈📚

(1/4)

#Art #Comics #OC #OCsky #Booksky #Artsky #TDOV

The cover of Lunar Boy. Indu sits on a pile of objects and looks out to the pink and blue sky. He's bordered by a giant moon

Panel 1: Jes and Cin (identical twins with short hair) depicted cheering happily as they stand next to a cover of Lunar Boy. The essay reads: “Lunar Boy is going to be out in May and it feels unreal. I’ve said that a lot when working on this book. That it feels “unreal” to be bringing this story to existence. And I should explain why!”
Panel 2: Jes walks through a display of movie posters and bookstands while holding a book. The essay continues: “When I see representations of queer people of color in the mainstream, it always felt like something was missing.”
Panel 3: Cin being overcrowded by fantastical characters, a robot, a gorilla in a spacesuit, a cat princess, and a woman with a sword. The essay continues: “Especially in stories of happy queer escapism.”

Panel 1: Continuing: “Their stories often revolve around their white queer friends,” A white woman points to herself as her other hand holds a Black woman’s hand. Who is off to the side. The white woman says “This story’s about ME.” While the Black woman says “I’m here too.”
Panel 2: Continuing: “They’re stripped of cultural specificity” a white woman shares a meal with a dark skinned hijabi woman. The white woman has a burger while the hijabi woman holds chopsticks, ready to eat her noodles. Dialogue above them reads “Ugh, why can’t the character just HAPPEN to be Muslim?” “So stereotypical.” An arrow points to the right showing an edited version where the white woman is unchanged and still eats a burger, but now the hijabi woman doesn’t wear her hijab and is also eating a burger. The dialogue above them reads “much better!” “Finally, a universally relatable diverse story!”
Panel 3: Continuing: “The intersection of their identities,” a venn diagram showing the intersections of religion, POC, queer, and diaspora.
Panel 4: Continuing: “or the histories of their communities, would never be acknowledged.” A woman solemnly stands in front of a grave bearing a bouquet of flowers. On the grave is a small candle and cup with the trans flag poking out of it.

I know the world is on fire, but @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I have a book out today!

THE CARTOONISTS CLUB is our love letter to comics, made for that nerdy kid in the corner with the sketchbook. We suggest you visit your local comic shop, indie bookstore, or library to check it out!

On the morning of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, I know exactly what y'all want to read to tide you over. That's right it's Taito's falling block puzzler with a cute mascot, Cleopatra Fortune, which actually started its life not in arcades, but on a Taito-branded karaoke machine.

Past meets present: Cleopatra Fortune

Cleopatra Fortune isn't a series Taito kept going back to, but it's still a worthy puzzler.

Just install giant mirrors to drive a train through! What could go wrong!!! Samuel is a trustworthy director who makes good decisions and the railway board has total faith in him. I love this game...
(no railway spoilers or info please im progressing VERY slowly lmao) #ghrailway #fallenlondon

The first two panels of a comic. The first panel, captioned "A flawless plan," shows my Fallen London character, Samuel, gesturing at a presentation board with a drawing of a large mountain, giant mirrors on each side of the mountain, and a train going through the mirrors labelled "detour through parabola." Second panel, captioned "Everyone loves it!", shows Furnace Anaconda with her arms folded and glaring dubiously out of her helmet, His Amused Lordship waving a hand uncertainly with a noncommittal wince, the Efficient Commissioner with her head in her hands staring with an exasperated, overwhelmed expression, and Virginia the devilless glaring with undisguised disgust.

the third panel of the comic, showing the Bishop of Southwark jumping out of his chair and shouting "Parabola! Perfect! Let us approach Hell by way of the unguarded pass!" With the Jovial Contrarian, smiling slyly, adding "I agree! It's the least costly and most direct. In fact, I propose we do the majority of our travel via Parabola!" Samuel leans in from the side, looking concerned, and adding quietly "Could you two agree with me a little less."

Takara's world turns upside down when she reunites with Ema, her middle school crush who's now a married woman. Can old feelings spark something new? 💕
