I feel like Kierie might fight him for the title of Official Webcomic Skank.

She wouldn't admit to fighting him for it, she just wouldn't want him to win.

Ooh, I didn’t know rattlers also gave birth to live young!

(I knew that about garter snakes, something we found out by accident after my dad decided to keep a garter snake that bit him and then whoops, thirty babies.)

(Most of them went to Boy Scouts doing their Reptiles projects.)

Which was just. Such a fucking funny scene with all the context of almost every other book in the series. Like yes, Saetan, I too would be shitting my pants over that, that is terrifying.

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 6d

And it was decent at providing me with just enough context to read the third from the original trilogy out of order!

Though maybe I did start the first one at some point? I'm now remembering Saetan shitting his pants over this small child showing up in Hell with her Too Many uncut black gems.

I feel like The Invisible Ring was probably the least terrible of them to have accidentally started with when reading my way through Every Romance Novel On Libby based on what had no waitlist in, like, 2018.

At some point I need to read the first two books, but I know I need to Brace Myself.

Sometimes, your household needs new medium plates.

And sometimes, the thrift store delivers SPECTACULARLY.

Thank you for coming out to blather! It was very entertaining! Probably see you in person again in another 5–7 years, at which point I hope the wombat wristwarmers will still be going strong.

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 10d

Which is admittedly about the amount of time I expect to spend thinking about animal genitalia after seeing you talk, but still a bit of a curveball.

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 10d

You told the story about the sea cucumber gonads AND THEN you mentioned they were trying to decide whether to place your novella with a Rat In Fancy Clothes in fantasy or romantasy and kept asking you how explicit it was going to be, so I ended the evening thinking about rat testicle size.

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 12d

It was lovely to listen to you ramble out loud again instead of reading your rambles online! Perhaps I will again see you briefly in another 5-7 years, at which point I hope the wombat wrist warmers will still be functional. (Still shocked they’re in one piece, given all the places they’ve gone.)

T Kingfisher: *talking about her publisher trying to place her fantasy romance with a Large White Rat Man and it coming down to how explicit it is*

Me: *trying very hard not to think about how male rats have really large testicles compared to their body sizes*

There's also Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap, but that one isn't, y'know, fiction, other than they probably wished some of the things they tried eating were fictional: kuec.libsyn.com

(And also being amused that "gobbo" simultaneously works as shorthand for goblin in English but maybe also kind of could be slang for "mouthsounds" in Orlekra, given the vocab we're given in the audition script.)

I briefly considered putting in an audition for her before realizing I am not at all set up for getting clean sound just because I was having so much fun attempting Orlekra.

As someone who has been following you around since the days of Elfwood, this is. How to say. A little bit surreal to see? In a good way, but. Y’know.
