Soon, gentle reader, I will take you to Merynthia, city of crab and cod, and a major port of Sicania, westernmost province of Trinacria.
Here, a humble thief by name of Worm fights for liberation of his home from under the Trinacrian boot. Wise master Barixes knows best how, of course...
Zia (from "Staku-ra's Hoard" in New Edge #5) lives on Reposto, an island in the imperial core of Trinacria, the great hegemon.
Oh, but she yearns for the freedom of the sea...
Zeynep and Kawtar live in Amunaja, a city-state of great wealth and power in the eastern Ionaian basin.
I subscribe to the REH method of worldbuilding where you take a thing from history and kick it slightly sideways.
The quicker you see what I'm sketching, the quicker we get on with the story.
nice and squishy
"Making [thing] missable is unfair to the player" possibly, yes. However, a. the idea a player MUST have access to 100% of a game's content at all times regardless of choices made is an unreasonable constraint in many contexts; and b. achievement-hunter culture is a disease. Glad we cleared that up!
Yeah, same. I have a lot of friends who'd be super into it. I feel this about a few of the new wave sword & sorcery authors, I just wanna shove their work into people's hands
EXTREMELY HONORED by this fan art by @gorangligovic.bsky.social the absolute MASTER
If you like what these two are promising, here's where you can read 'em! (They're v cute actually)

honest to god if the Zeynep & Kawtar stories get collected into a paperback I'm gonna buy a copy genuinely so I feel you
Oh my god. If any of you have been reading the Zeynep & Kawtar stories off my recs, you have to see this. Incredible work @gorangligovic.bsky.social
Keeping the himedanshi honest is part of what allows them to remain in the orbit of the scene at all so dunking on this article is also part of keeping a clean environment for yuri. lmao
Thinking about that article about himedanshi where it mostly only talks about like, guys shipping women kissing in shounen anime. And not like, guys who read GL and lesbian manga. lol Folks talking about it again reminded me of it. Incredible article (negative)
It doesn't seem her style tho. One of the persistent things in Witch Hat is people with various disabilities going "I can't do that? Fuck you, watch this". The previous big shit wizard School story was Bad About Every Bigotry lol
Y'know. I don't normally give my time of day to creatives being bigots but I'd actually be disappointed if Shirahama turned out to be a transphobe or something. She genuinely seems to be doing the Better Wizard School story people keep clamoring after
i love the witch hat atelier mangaka more and more every day yall dont know what this means to me
Oh myself! Uhhh. I used to do hundreds of knuckle push ups, break stone with my fist (the once), and have trophies for kicking people's ass. That sounds pretty fake but isn't lol
In like the late 1800s one of my great whatevers was one of the people who discovered, explored, and mapped out what is now a famous cavern in the area I grew up. It has State Park status these days. He just like, found it.

Hey, if anyone's in my TL reading. Where does a girl go to interact with the broader mechsploitation community socially anyway? DM me if you have a discord or something. Best I got currently is I know a couple writers and the GirlFrame discord.
NO problem, thank you. This is really punchy and affecting, and fucking TIMELY for a lot of people. Reading this from the US was an experience. This is the first work of yours I've seen but you can be sure I'm gonna look through more when I have time
damn. just read this one and every few seconds went "haha fuck that's horrible". It's really well done. Already telling the players at my girlframe table to get on it

Zeynep ain't much for talking. Kawtar wants to be heard *at all costs*.
At the demon-haunted barrier between our world and the outer dark, they found each other.

picking random brushes and seeing what happens
This one's a joy. The girls are together in-scene more than ever so you get to read their dynamic play out. Big creatures, sexy ladies, bad people die badly! The Luana Flavor at peak power
Cass and Selene 💜
