Been slaying dragons so long I've forgotten how to put down the sword.

My hand is forever clasped in a grip, holding tight to the phantom blade.

But I know someday, it'll be different.
Someday, I won't have to fight so hard.

And, God, I look forward to the day the battle is won and I can breathe.

I was JUST LOOKING for a model to test out a new paint recipe, and then this weird little guy volunteered!

Presenting Captain Caliente from the Division Of The Darned

This was an incredibly easy model to print, and a delight to paint. Thank you for sharing it! 💜

I've only DNFed one book so far during this adventure--all the rest had something to teach me, even if it was just "It turns out I don't like romantasy as much as I thought I would."

Here's to another year of reading widely in 2026. 💚

Some face practice on Stormcast Eternals. Lots of valuable lessons learned, like "don't glue the pauldrons in place before painting the head"

Reports from Akron, Ohio: some voters faced issues with electronic signature verification earlier today. Poll workers had to switch to manual checks after the system failed to match voter signatures properly.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

We need many kinds of story right now--stories that show us that cruelty can be fought, and stories that remind us that kindness isn't wasted; stories about suffering and stories about comfort; stories that show how to form community and how to resist and how to take joy in everyday moments.

Hello to all new folks! I'm a writer from the U.S. who's working on reading more broadly and getting through creative burnout. If you're wondering where the name comes from, "Tuomala" is Finnish. My most recent book is The Map and the Territory, available in many places: bsky.app/profile/amtu...
