My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

we must refuse to debate the worth of other people.

We must agree that everyone has value at a human level, and that it’s not tied to their health, their job or their bank account.

When we start allowing ourselves to debate someone’s worth, we’ve already lost.

You are worthy, just as you are.

@avivor.com , I'm looking for a tarot deck (made by an indie artist) to be used with His Majesty the Worm, a ttrpg with inspirations that are gothic, some medieval bestiary, stuff like that. Got any recommendations?

Menagerie of the Void makes use of DIY tiles to create a (failing) alien zoo. Fun concept executed in an interesting way.

I wrote about it at Skeleton Code Machine: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/menagerie-...

One of the many, many reasons His Majesty the Worm (by @riseupcomus.bsky.social ) is first on my "next to try" list:

Brain Spider
Sorcerous Strategist
Giant spiders with huge pulsing brains for bodies. They’re gross
as hell. They speak through headache-inducing telepathy.
Brain spiders act like Saturday morning cartoon villains.
They say things like, “Nyehh, you’ll never get out of my web
this time!” They tell people their plans so they feel smart. They
make web-based puns
