i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Top human @claymcleod.bsky.social read DAYTIDE and he had stuff to say like “what the hell?” “Holy shit” and “what even is this?” But he also gave this blurb, for which I am forever grateful.

Early reaction to DAYTIDE has been shocking to me, gaining comparisons to some of my favorite books of all time (LIBRARY AT MOUNT CHAR, what?). It’s sold a shitload already, and the entire run is limited to 350. Publishes 2/26/26.

I'm reading @scribeofhades.bsky.social's forthcoming novel DAYTIDE from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social. Weird fantasy, resonating on the same wavelength as BETWEEN TWO FIRES and THE LIBRARY AT MOUNT CHAR, but also unlike anything I've read before. Its quirkiness belies just how engrossing it is.

“”Daytide,” is a story that requires readers to forget genre, whatever your definition of horror or fantasy or sci-fi is, and baptise yourself in the stinging, turp-soaked, existential delirium that @scribeofhades.bsky.social has so beautifully crafted.”

Books that know balance of reality and the fantastical are a gem. True of @scribeofhades.bsky.social’s Daytide, this is a novel that is equally human and of an entirely other world. Witty, clever, and moving, it’s damn good fantasy at its finest. My review:

Daytide Review: Beating Wings of Captivating Creativity
With unique traits, Daytide feels like it exists in a category of its own, one that combines what builds incredible stories that stand the test of time.
