A few years after Aubergine lost most of the psychic connection to his Bond-friend (all that remains is knowing he's alive and the general direction he's in)... Shallot asks if he plans to leave to find him. Or if he believes the friend will come for him.

#NovemberWorldbuilders friends! We're at the end of the month so you know what that means: broad questions with no particular theme! Tell me about something you put into your world for no reason other than that it brought you joy. Did you learn about something cool and want to add it? Talk about it!

Today's art adventure: pixel art!
I grew up on old school video games (mostly SNES era) and pixel art makes me feel a lot of things. Joy. Nostalgia. Peace. This was my first time trying it and I'm quite pleased with the results!
I took a screenshot because the actual picture is so smol

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

You know the drill. Tynan can transform, yadda yadda, they can make any part of their body any colors they want etc.
But YES, I have a color scheme for them: red, purple, black. It's largely based on vibes, my own color symbolism for the PD, and my plan for the Merchants novels

RIP to a great soul, author, and member of the writing community. I'll always remember the first time I became aware of him being a funny moment. Love and condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.
I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

I basically have three moods/playlists
1. Lofi, which I currently get from Spirit City
2. Amethystium
3. Vibesy background music. I'm especially fond of the stuff from Odd Behavior right now. Here's their most recent.

#AwesomeCharacters I guess the most scandalous thing Tynan does in MoDaH is take their services to Ophidia because their mom forbade them from going to the (Aloutian) ball. 🤣 They were a week old, tho, so I think they'd be excused

What shocking headlines could they publish about them?
Did they have to take their actions out of context to get there?
