Aphelion is a Science-Fantasy zombie apocalypse adventure and slow burn romance. There's soul-harnessing magic and tech, a sassy cat, and the mystery of a grand evil to uncover.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Dying Light: Monsters, We. Update Day!

🤜 In which Kyle Crane wants to claw his way up the food chain using nothing but his bare hands, and Aiden carries guilt all the way to the top of the VNC tower. 🗼

Sssh. Don't spook him.

He's nesting.

(Males cranes are known to really step up as dads.)

A screenshot from the video game Dying Light. It's Kyle Crane. Sitting in a big nest. No, really.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Dying Light: We Don't Stop in Hell update fell from the sky!

In which Kyle Crane tries his luck with familiarity, and, unfortunately, finds a mirror. 🪞👀

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

You heard of the male gaze and the female gaze. But there's a secret third one: the Taff gaze, applicable only to Kyle Crane.

Going back to sitting on the stairs with Kyle.

Fuck this shit.

Taff @tafferling.bsky.social · 8d

Fucking hell.

My mental health has been at its best between Thursday the 18th of September and like, yesterday. Now that I'm back to occasionally looking at my bsky feed and catching up on the Dumpster Fire That Is Us, it is rapidly tanking again.

Oops, my hands slipped.

New Dying Light Fic Series started today. What's inside? Unhinged amounts of Kyle Crane, a promise of way more Aiden once we get there, lotsa hurt lotsa comfort, and generous canon defenestration.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN AMAZING HUMAN AND ARTIST

RADINSKY 🪬🏳️‍⚧️ @thisisradinsky.bsky.social · 11d

It’s my birthday 🥳🎉

It’s incredibly homophobic that I’m sitting here with a cold for it and have 2 dissertations to work on, ON A SUNDAY

But hey check out my work and give it a share 🥳

Illustration of a WWI French soldier in a field of tall grass. He has a prosthetic arm and mask on, and is ablaze too. The weather is foggy and behind him lies church ruins. The tones are blue and orange

Illustration depicting a terrifyingly skinny woman with long silver hair parted towards the front. The illustration depicts her from behind. She's missing an arm and has a damaged prothestic limb as replacement. She's holding a cutter pointed towards a bright red square in the centre of her spine

Digital illustration of a young woman with long, silver hair and wooden antlers, poking out of her skull and eye sockets. In between her open hands, and all over her face, red rot is crawling reminiscent of guts
He's wearing a thick jumper with "Sarajevo 1984" in reference to the 1984 Sarajevo olympics

Digital illustration of a young woman with long, straight white hair wearing a traditional czech crown. She's standing by a foggy lakeside with a black hole behind her. She's snucking her face into the collar of her pastel wind jacket
