getting into a battle in The World Ends With You be like Joshua: [standing in a sort of gay way] Hee hee, isn't this exciting, Neku? Neku: Eat shit and die my man the actual fucking wolves and bears in the streets of Shibuya: grrr the music for some reason: 🗣️ DID! YOU! WASH! THEM! NICE! AND! CLEAN!

Oh man, I promised my writing group that I'd read Empire of the Vampire with them this month, but then I remembered I still need to play Clair Obscure and idk the French RPG is calling to me...

“BURSTING WITH FLAVOR” yeah, salt and potato flavor “NO COLORS FROM ARTIFICIAL SOURCES” not something I was worried about, given that you are potato colored

Picture of a Pringles can. Two labels are facing towards the camera: “BURSTING WITH FLAVOR” and “NO COLORS FROM ARTIFICIAL SOURCES”

I've held my tongue for years, but no more. I must speak my truth. The pansexual flag is printer colors and I'm afraid one day it'll say "replace ink cartridge" and destroy us all.

Messed up that people got to see P6 just shown at a conference. You're meant to stare at a vague website for a month, figure out where five screens in public are in japan, sit through a 72 hour livestream, argue with people if "persona dancing game" is a trollpost or not, and THEN see the teaser.

Happy Pride Month I never understood the thing where some straight women don’t like bi/pan boys. Um hello you like boys too? Wow yet another thing we have in common we should kiss

In honor of Pride Month starting tomorrow… Years ago a coworker heard that I attended our local Pride Parade with my gay friend and asked if it was ok for him to bring his young sons. I was like, hm, not sure about that one.

Thank you Angela and Before We Go blog for the review! While I didn’t make the semifinals, “Darby Vernon is a very talented writer…to watch for the future” is getting printed and hung above my bed. (Especially as the sequel is kicking my butt.)

I love/hate that period of time where you finish a story and all you want to do is lay down and sauté in the emotions.

I’ve seen a lot of non-furries react to the new Star Fox designs on other social media platforms and it’s painfully obvious they have no idea what furries actually find attractive.

They'll never make a stegosaurus Pokemon because stegosaurus is already peak Pokemon design. There's nothing you can change about it that would make it look more like a Pokemon.

I’m pretty lenient on Nintendo as a whole but for the love of god they have the worst system for transferring Pokemon around games.

Bad news: One of my favorite bands broke up. Good news: The new lead singer is fire. More good news: The old lead singer has a solo career and her stuff is also fire. I have two new favorite bands now.

Every now and then I think, I should get back into the Assassin's Creed games. But the series has changed so much, and every game since the Ezio games seems to do some things better and some things worse. Just leaves me with decision paralysis.

When I first played Deadlock I called the Drifter "Adrian" as a joke but now I'm constantly slipping up and calling him that. So if Adrian ends up with a cabbie and creole accent you'll know why.

Every time a game has one of those "choose your gender" select screens that shows both the male and female model I halfway expect the one I don't pick to come back as a character and be like "how dare you not choose me."

Saw the Markiplier Iron Lung movie yesterday. It was better than I expected! Definitely go in expecting a slow burn and knowing the premise, but I never thought it was boring.

My first review of the year! I really enjoyed @darbyvernon.bsky.social ‘s book for someone who never got into Vampire the Masquerade. It was compelling and full of political intrigue, which I do love, and was very refreshing from other vampire novels I’ve read! Looking forward to more 🥰 #booktok 📚

A review of Madness of the Elder Vampire by Darby Vernon. It was given 4 stars for the compelling vampire read set in modern San Francisco.

Threads has been my best marketing social platform so far, but the audience is a little... fluff and bunnies. Where the actual grimdark people at? (It better not be twitter...)

I’ve never had a discussion with a full blown communist but if I ever did I think I would listen for 10 minutes and then say “Oh, you mean like an HOA!” and then run for my life.

As much as I want to believe Trump has done something so heinous that it saps him of any remaining support... One report to the FBI isn't, like, concrete evidence. Unless there's other evidence to support it actually happened, news media can't honestly report it as fact.

Darby Vernon @darbyvernon.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

WHAT DO YOU MEAN the numbers in "Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers." was referring to "How many times do you jerk off a day?" From the movie about ruthless salesmen and it's NOT in reference to ruthless sales numbers???

Darby Vernon @darbyvernon.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

My sequel introduces so many new characters that I wish I was a little more ruthless in killing off characters in the first book. But, to be fair, there exist a lot of people in real life too.

I'm on Threads now, if you prefer that platform. Same username. I like how chill Bluesky is, but it's 1000x easier to get engagement on Threads. It's also nice to have a separate account where I'm not afraid to be a bit more of a marketing gremlin.

Posted my book on my LinkedIn to get more people to see it. One posted “Way to pivot!” Girl, my bank account only has four more months in it. It’s only a pivot if you buy my book.

When my sister and I were young my family would watch Seinfeld but my parents would have to screen which episodes were PG friendly. Sometimes they missed one and would hurriedly pause the dvr before our innocent minds were tainted.

LOOK GARY THERE I AM. I didn't even pay for this promotion. Though I hope being bundled with a bunch of romance books doesn't accidentally skew my readers into expecting mine to be romance.
