Due to some very sudden layoffs, my allotted editing time just opened up quite a bit! I’ll have time to take on a few more projects that usual, especially towards November.
If you’ve got a project that needs refining, or some lines that need a voice, let’s chat! ✨

(Sharing is always appreciated!)

Some commotion for the GM!! ✨🫶

Bloom&Blight @bloomandblight.bsky.social · 12d

Time to give some massive love to our Season Two Storyteller @potaytayto.bsky.social ! Bloom&Blight is officially a finalist for Best Host of an Actual Play at @nzwebfest.co.nz!

Go show Tay some love, and keep an eye out for your favourite magical girls at NZ WebFest!

Simplified poster for Bloom&Blight Season 2, Part 2, with six white film festival laurels down the sides, and one up top.

Dark background, with art of Dark Lark. Lark stands facing away from the camera, a glowing white spear in hand. The spear has purple and pink ribbons tied to it, and a yellow ribbon is tied in Larks hair. She looks resolute and defiant, her hair and costume billowing in a breeze. Below her, reflected in water, is another Dark Lark. This time, she is in her hands and knees, looking defeated, her hair and costume are limp, and her skirts are tattered. Her spear is a full metallic colour, chipped at the end and stained in blood. The ribbons are missing.

Above both Dark Larks, a pair of red, glitching mechanical eyes loom in the darkness. The dark background fades to stars at the top.

Seven sets of laurels show web festival nominations. In the middle, a new set of laurels reads “Finalist, Best Host of an Actual Play, NZ Web Fest”. Down the sides are six others. Two read: “Official Selection”, one for New Jersey Web Fest 2025 and one for Sydney Web Fest 2025. Four other sets read “2025 Award Nominee, New Jersey Web Fest”, each for a different category: Outstanding Science Fiction AP (Podcast), Best Sound Design of an AP, Best Premise of an Actual Play, Best Ensemble Cast of an AP (Podcast).

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 15d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

Finally picked up a copy of “A Loud Noise in a Quiet Place” this week and y’all.

Seeing other creators write about their experience with disability, and not only that but design with that experience at the forefront? As the Whole Point?

It’s beautiful. Every time, it’s beautiful.

sign up for a free library card at your local library, and you can also access huge amounts of books/graphic novels/magazines on your phone/mobile devices via the Libby app - you can return digital copies without worrying about getting your ass back to the library to drop-off books.

wobblerocket 🎲🎮 @wobblerocket.com · 25d

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
