I write about monsters & myths, sometimes for work. Onyx Path freelancer. I'll geek out about books, movies and RPGs.

I suppose I should introduce myself but barring a couple exceptions my followers around here know me so, well, it's a bit awkward.
Let's see.

Someone said that the Chronicles of Darkness in their opinion are bad for not including history and myth in their writing.
I could have replied in many ways, with proof to the contrary, but please be proud of my restraint for not just doing so by posting a photo of the three Dark Eras tomes.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

Ok, when I first saw this trailer...14 years ago?! Goddammit.
Well, I liked it a lot. And now I'm there again for reasons. Fun seeing how nothing you love ever leaves you.

Folx, it's okay to say Stranger Things' Vecna owes 90% of his thing to Freddy Krueger, plush a dash of Pennywise.
The authors were never subtle about their inspirations. They even got Robert Englund in a crucial role related to Vecna's backstory during season 4, ffs.

We really didn't have a better plotline for Steve & Jonathan than a redo of a love triangle? Several seasons later?
It's not like Nancy has any energy to give to *that* anyways.

Lmao, Dead by Daylight has D&D Vecna in (voiced by Matthew Mercer, btw)
They just announced a new Stranger Thing collab and teased the new killer...
...Vecna. The Stranger Things one, who owes his name to there other.
Amazing. Game's in utter shambles at the moment, but amazing.

This is true, and I'm still so proud we made a magical school RPG in They Came from Witchford Academy! that is openly about all of these, proudly so, and has no single word about HP in it.
We wouldn't have it any other way. It really was a need for the team.
Can't wait for it to finally come out.

Some superior wizard-school series you can easily replace HP with:
🧙 Witch Hat Atelier
🧙 Little Witch Academia
🧙 The Worst Witch
🧙♀️ The Owl House
🧙 Mashle: Magic & Muscles
🧙♀️ Wizard of Earthsea (le Guin)
🧙 The School for Good & Evil (Soman Chainani)

Harry Potter is one of those things where I don’t care how important it was or is to you sentimentally or whatever. I insist you find another fucking thing. There are so many things. Other things. Better things. Literally anything.
