Digital illustration by tangentburd of an early 2000s-style website banner, with a green colour theme and a long-haired anime character. The text "The Emerald Lane" is written in an elegant script font across the banner, with smaller text "A Virdante fanshrine" below it. There are glitter and sparkle effects scattered across the banner.

Nostalgia Keeps Me Down is an anthology digging up the body of the past and realising it doesn't look as pretty as it did when we buried it.

Enjoy the free zine with fourteen short stories and poems now - vinegarzines.itch.io/nostalgia-ke...

Cover artwork for the 'Nostalgia Keeps Me Down' zine. It is designed to look like a retro anime figurine box, with a magical girl / space theme. The figure's face is bubbling and melting and the accessories are cracked or otherwise off.

Digital illustration by tangentburd of a logo design with the shape of a black cat's face. Inside the shape is the text "Sofa, So Good" in bright gradients of pink, orange and yellow. The two letter O's in the word "good" form the eyes of a cat, with a nose, mouth and whiskers under them. A line of smaller text runs along the bottom of the cat logo shape: "a halloweeny poem by tb / tangentburd".

Here's the first part of my piece to the "Fishy" detective zine hosted by @bycmykae.bsky.social. Solve the murder case yourself before looking at the reveal pages -- I will upload those in a reply post!

Page 1 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Elisabetta Pavone, a mantis shrimp and the murder victim of this story. She was a boxer most famous for defeating a world champion fighter crab Nan Tulwa. She then retired and set up a pawnshop in Seaflore City. Her body was found near a hydrothermal vent, and reported dead by third-degree burns and stab wounds. A dinglehopper was found near the scene as a possible murder weapon. Two detectives, Murray the moray eel and Array the stingray, are tasked to solve this case. Page 2 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Bonnie Skipjack, a bluefin tuna and one of the murder suspects. She is an employee of Pavone's pawnshop, and has been scolded by Pavone often for taking too many bubble pipe breaks. On the day of the murder, she closed the shop after her late shift and claimed to have swum home right after, but did not remember any details as her new bubble pipe made her drowsy. Murray and Array discover that "blue" is a clue left by Pavone before she died, and is a common trait across all the suspects. Page 3 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Cody Leng, a blue lingcod and one of the murder suspects. He is an employee of Pavone's pawnshop and known to get along well with the city's residents, but has been chastised by Pavone for overpaying for pawned items. He recognised the dinglehopper from the pawnshop's inventory. On the day of the murder, he left his work shift and went for a party at the Lanternfishes' house until late, which serves as his alibi. Page 4 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Rowano de Sales, a silver arowana and one of the murder suspects. He is Pavone's old friend from their fighter days, and revealed to have both admiration and envy of her past success. On the day of the murder, he visited Pavone's city and invited her to dinner, before she died later that night. His coral bouquet gift for her contains auger shells that match the stab wounds in Pavone's body. Murray and Array meet two anxious garden eels who seem to have something important to tell them.

An excerpt from a poem written by TB (tangentburd) for "Miaow", a digital charity cat-themed zine. The excerpt reads: "Delight! Explosion of the senses! / Eyes: golden moondiscs blinking / Ears: perking, wiggly-waggling / Tail: curling, curlicuing. Verdict's out - this splendalicious soup / is cat-stronome approved!". The image also features a background pattern of cute cat faces and a sticker of zine's title "Miaow: A Cat Zine!" illustrated by the zine's organisers.

The secondary title in English reads "Full Circle". In the background is the faint silhouette of a moth in flight.
