Banner with the cover of A Study on Magic and Crystals, by May Barros, and a list of things that can be found in the book, with arrows from the things to the cover. The cover shows the main characters: a fairy with short pink hair, white skin and pink wings; a black human princess with afro hair, wearing a pearly crown and a yellow ballgown, while she makes crystals float between her hands; and a human necromancer with white skin, black chanel hair and a skeletal cat on her shoulder. The list of things reads: magic everywhere; queerplatonic and polyamorous relationships; a skeletal cat; agender fairies; aroace, alloaro and demiace rep; only one bed but they asked for it; roadtrip; everybody is neurodivergent.

First commission of 2026 for sand6167 over on vgen.

If you want twitch emotes (or emots in general), my commissions are open!
vgen.co/maybarros
4 emotes for twitch of a character with shoulder-lenght light brown hair, two are a variation of a sarcastic laugh with a hand covering the mouth, though we can see the mouth from the angle of the drawing, one is the character with eyes closed holding a big pink heart and the last one is the character with a deadpan expression and a loading symbol over their head

I know there have been spam comments on AO3 for a while now, but this is my first time getting one! How do I know this is spam, you ask? The comment was left on a work that was just an album of fanart. There is no dialogue, no banter and the expressions of the character ARE LITERALLY IN A DRAWING
Comment reads: You have such a talent for dialogue! The banter in this chapter was top-tier and made me smile the whole way through. It makes me want to visualize these expressions in a drawing. Feel free to reach out if you want to geek out over these two! If you are interested so check my bio for further discussion. evie_wale

Reposting with alt text because I felt it too important no to share
Post in r/indiedev by Sbibble: "The game I've been working on for months is exactly the same as a game I just discovered today. What do I do? Hi all, I've been working on a little project in Godot since about October. The idea was a bullet-hell roguelike, sort of like Enter the Gungeon, but with a spell system like in Noita, where players can get upgrades to change the behaviour of their projectiles. I know the idea isn't exactly original, but I thought it was a neat spin on things, and pretty feasible for a novice developer like me. I've gotten pretty far, and the game is nearly feature complete. Today, out of curiosity, I had a look through Godot's newsfeed on Steam, and found the game Gunforged. It is remarkably similar to the project I have been working on, to the point where Steam even compares it to Noita and Gungeon specially on the store page. What do I do? I'm worried my game will be seen as just a ripoff, despite the fact that I hadn't even heard about this other game until today. Reply by Firebelly: "Hey I'm the creator of Gunforged! I would say don't be discouraged. There's plenty of room to do Gunforged better than I did, especially if you can do something unique. But even just improving my game's deficiencies can set you apart enough to sell some copies. If you like your idea then keep going!

#SFFChat From my recent release, A Study on Magic and Crystals
"Ok, now all that’s left is letting my father know." Talita sighed and concentrated. Sending magical messages was the simplest of spells: all you had to do was write out the message in the air while your hand was imbued with magical energy.
