Tonight our Indie Author dnd livestream group was kidnapped through a fae portal and forced to play Make Some Noise, and halfway through the second round I had only one question: “DM, can I kill Sam Reich?” @dropout.tv

This book is about a kid who harnesses the power of the only god left (after someone decided to go throw a sword at the stars or something). I, conceitedly, believe that’s Hugo worthy. Nominate Casillas 2026 🐍🐍🐍 #hugo #hugoawards #prettyplease?

As a fantasy author and reader, a folklore nerd interested in (real) Norse and Germanic myth and fairy tales, a singer: I have spent SO much time scouring profiles and bios for Nazi dogwhistles. Used to it. So when I say the rise in use of the word heritage is freaking me out…yeah, it’s bad.

When and where is this the party of law and order? What I’m seeing is murder in the streets done at the hands of insecure men with massive inferiority complexes. When your platform is oppression, you can’t help but take out your self-indulgent victimhood on the communities you’ve infected.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

There are little things here and there that I pepper in from people that I know, but for the most part, no. I can only think of two characters in the whole Age of Monsters series that are tied to IRL people.

There are two important birds in The Serpent’s Rise. One is a turul, and the other is una lechuza. A turul is a giant mythical bird from Hungarian mythos. Una lechuza is an owl, thought to be messenger of the underworld and considered omens of doom. #critterary

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

The Serpent’s Rise is a mythological thriller intended for ages 10+. It stars a shapeshifter by the name of Jorden Casillas who is pulled into a plot far larger than himself when he’s tasked with stealing a powerful magical artifact. #BluePit📖 #F #P #MG #YA

A Series of Unfortunate Events meets The Seven Wonders Series Jorden Casillas is a shapeshifter caught in some tricky business. Namely, he’s tasked with stealing a powerful magical object, but he isn’t the only one after it. What else could you expect in the Age of Monsters? #BluePit📖 #MG #YA #F

The air grew thinner with the change in elevation, and Jorden could feel his ears pop the higher they went. Finally, they emerged onto a rocky outcropping. Deteriorating handrails were posted by the edge, which dropped straight into the oblivion below the cliff. “¡Híjole!” Jorden leapt backwards.

Well, there’s a Trial, which isn’t a sporting event per se, but if you pass, you’re officially a Tyro. If you don’t pass, you might be dead. Back in the day, there was a sporting event called the Pantheonic, but it got cancelled after one of the participants set everything on fire!
