Also: writing is a skill not a magic power. It’s furniture building, not communing with the muses. Settle down and just do the work, enjoy it, and stop trying to pretend it’s some deep magical power. It’s a craft. A fun challenging one! But a craft. Relax.

As a Portlander it's been kind of surreal seeing the mass media image of the city as embattled hellhole that's been pushed since 2020 (thanks to state propaganda during the George Floyd uprising) suddenly dissolve in like a week.

Dave Vetter @davidrvetter.bsky.social · 1d

The attack on Portland was supposed to make the place look like a lawless hellhole. Instead, the authorities have succeeded in making it look like the most fun city in the world.

Exactly! And we see way back in DS #97-98 that Leviathan hasn't even shared this information with their leader, the Morningstar. As a Dark Scientist your value (and survivability) hinges almost entirely on what you know that others don't. Also why Vonnie's causing trouble by wanting to team up.

TFW you finally get your own Renfield but he's more of a haunted Stretch Armstrong doll.

Finally watched Kpop Demon Hunters, it was unsurprisingly great! How come nobody told me the story is really just about Rumi coming out?

I keep falling in love with your colour work, expressions and emotiveness every couple of pages, but this one's definitely up there!

I think one of my favorite things about this film is how it's very much a ghost story, it's just that ghosts are a thing living people create. You'll never know who Rebecca really was, you only learn about these mostly deranged people, and it's through how they remember her.

My mother had Pac Man Fever while she was pregnant, which is why every week to stabilize my metabolism I have to eat an entire ghost.

Rebecca (1940) is the timeless story of the dangers of marrying a man instead of moving in with your spooky girlfriend.

The moment where I knew I was absolutely addicted to your art and also the moment where I had to stop reading for a while because I first came across it in my "deny everything that gives you gender-envy" phase.

I kinda want the symbol tattooed on my back and I don't have tattoos.

Kimiko Ross's back from the early pages of Dresden Codak, revealing cyborg skin patches and a mysterious symbol and just looking like whoever drew it was super gay for ladies and also you the viewer are maybe super gay for ladies and if you didn't know you were a lady that might be surprising

Your results may vary, can only describe from my pov

Lantern season as this is such a great idea for showing how memories hang off things, and I shout about Owlamoo compulsively perhaps once a month

Snippet from https://dresdencodak.com/2009/12/16/lantern-season/, in which Kim scowls at a little owl-boy-puppet as threads of memories rise into small bubbles of disjointed remembrances

Kingdom of the Last. In addition to the great art style, I enjoyed the message. The constant worry to be original has paralysed me more than once.
