I can picture Knell's eyes reacting to dim cave lighting with his pupils growing really big and shining bright. Like a cat.

10.07.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 7: Expectations

Making #TraitorandtheWretch art until it finally releases on 10/10.

Knell from Traitor and the Wretch. Caption “He looked at him like he was the Sun…”
Expectation: Knell looks up, hands clasped with a wide-eyed look of wonder on his face
Reality: Knell’s face is scrunched-up, hands in a raptor-claw stance

Rudy is the real deal. Been waiting for an update, and he sure has it! Makes me really glad I migrated @gregpak.com to Blacksky's myatproto.social PDS for non-Black users - gonna migrate @gregpak.net over asap as well.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

A marvelous little anthology! SIGNOS collects Filipino supernatural tales: hauntings, monsters, dark fantasies, and horrors, some stories that are tinged with the uncanny, & others that chill the bones. A perfect read for fall, filled with voices that were totally new to me! Really excellent stuff!!

Dearest fellow TTRPG goblins, I am expanding my offering! This is something I have long done in multiple work contexts, so it just makes sense to offer it on a freelance basis as well. Reasonable, flexible rates provided on request.

A colourful advertisement for proofreading services, including a picture of the provider and contact details. The caption beneath the image reads "Megan L. Ramirez" and the contact information specifies "megan.l.ramirez@gmail.com"

I am still immensely salty about this. DK asked me 4 times to work on this book while I was recovering from Long Covid. From day one. we all explained how the image licensing would have to be.

As Zack said, we got paid. But we will never have the pleasure of seeing our names on the same book.

Zack Davisson @zackdavisson.com · 2d

This will go down as the most heartbreaking thing of my career. An absolute Mount Rushmore of manga scholars I was honored to be included with. Everyone included, such as myself and @okazu.yuricon.com did some of the best work of our lives. A brilliant book.

Now dead. Because of image rights.

I'm hoping so hard more folks will dive into it and enjoy it as much as we have. I need more unhinged heartwarming stories like these in the world.

I know exactly how you feel. I haven't been the same since I finished reading it. Percy and Knell plague my mind constantly.

If it helps any with the post-book hangover, @dobodleaday.bsky.social has done cute drawings of them recently and it's been lovely. I'm such a fan!
