I chose torchic as my first ever starter and feel guilty picking anything else.
βI have 30k to make a fully AI film, whatβs the plan?β is such an insane sentence.

It's so funny to me that somehow we've wound up getting H.P. Lovecraft's digital junk mail.

If youβre not terrified of the deep ocean, you should be, especially after watching this. An oil drilling crew awakens ancient creatures and the end gives Lovecraftian vibes. Plus I have a crush on Kristen Stewart so π€·π»ββοΈ
My story βMercyβ is on the latest episode of The NoSleep Podcast!!! ππ₯³π€

Thanks!
Heck ya! Now I need to also read The Red Tower!
A partially revealed cover showing the letters "ER" in purple, slash marks, and reddish brown hair.
We are almost ready for a full cover reveal of SLUGGER Vol. 1!
A woman lies on her back, in bed, fast asleep. One arm is draped behind her head. A small creature, perhaps a demon, crouches on her chest. A black horse with very white teeth leans in from the window. Both the creature and the horse are wearing festive birthday hats, and the creature holds a party blower in its mouth. When she awakes, the woman will have a very special birthday surprise.
Cover reveal! This artist has graced the inner pages of the magazine since the beginning, but the moment we saw this comically unnerving art by @authoriseult.bsky.social we knew it was the perfect way to mark one full year of the mag. Sleep with one eye open and get ready to laugh! #dielaughing
