Okay. I never want multi player online anything. Multi player should only be for people sitting on your couch with controllers

This feels like the ’How it started’ image where the ‘How it’s going’ is the Adeptus Mechanicus.

#OnThisDay in 1900, Oscar Wilde died. Read our essay on the claims of plagiarism that dogged his career, particularly as regards his relationship with that other great figure of late-C19th Decadence, the American painter James McNeill Whistler: publicdomainreview.org/essay/o... #OTD

The Dungeons & Dragons cookbook is weirdly good. It fills a nice spot in between 'already know how to cook' and 'this recipe will take all weekend using ingredients you don't know how to source': bookshop.org/p/books/hero...

Whether we call it Faery or Elfland, it is a territory bordering our own. Some elements of it are shared - certain trees extend roots into the soil of both realms - but we know it most when it walks into our world. It comes as a haunting strangeness, as a terrible yet familiar oddness. - #CLNolan

Here's a reveal of my t-shirt design! 💚
It's a remake of a 2024 piece, updated for screen printing, and there's a 2nd colour version which I'll post later.

I'm super happy with how the shirts turned out & I aim to open preorders for them in January <:

A digital drawing of a fantasy knight in three colours - bright green, bright pink and orange. The knight is walking towards the viewer, holding a downturned sword in his right hand. He is scarcely clothed, only wearing a helmet, boots, loin cloth and a belt. There is a heart-shaped hole in his chest, with a glowing orb inside. He has visible top surgery scars. There is a lined minimal background of a hallway behind him, and a green abstract flame/smoke around him as a frame of the image. "Triumph of the Self-seeker" is written above.

I'm bookmarking this for the next time someone asks me exactly what does 'a structural edit' mean. This may be a screenplay not a novel, but it's an excellent example of the principles and process regardless.

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Learning from Stoppard By Mike Fitzgerald, June 13, 2016 Comparing two drafts of a script can be hugely instructive, revealing point-by-point how a writer went about improving the story. When I stumbled upon an earlier draft of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I discovered a dazzling, glittering trove of lessons as nourishing as eternal life itself. Well, nearly so. Last Crusade was written by Jeffrey Boam, from a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes. So say the opening credits. Boam’s final draft, dated March 1, 1988 (ten weeks before production) differs drastically from the published script which reflects the released version of the film. Differences come as no shock, but with Last Crusade they aren’t just a few deleted scenes and some line changes. Whole sections of the Boam draft were reimagined, major set pieces were added, and the pacing and tone were markedly transformed. Whoever made these changes possessed a profound grasp of story craft.

From 2016, another piece featuring my favourite 'thing under tree' motif, 'White Hart.' Ink, 85 x 125 mm.

Trivia: the stag here combines features of both the red and fallow deer to suggest a mythological creature rather than a real animal.

My book is about drug addiction in the U.S. from 1776 to 1914, when it was (generally) legal to sell addictive drugs. Addiction increased rapidly, but people didn't associate drug addiction with crime. global.oup.com/ushe/product...
The cover of Habit Forming: Drug Addiction in America, 1776–1914. In the drawing, from 1900, people buy cocaine and opium at a pharmacy while a saloon owner looks on, jealous because he's losing business.

My dearest friend set up the weekly and monthly donation options so that we can stay alive after a tent was destroyed just 100 meters away from us last night. The sand covered our faces while we were still alive.

I’m deeply depressed and can’t keep begging one by one for help anymore.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
