I was so very lucky to take part in @baldursboudoir.bsky.social as both an artist and a writer, and I had so much fun pushing myself artistically for this #EnverGortash #Durgetash piece (Nobody think about molten metal and exposed bits, okay, it stops being sexy then)

A dark blacksmith forge, heavily shadowed, with only the forge fire providing any light. Enver Gortash stands naked before the anvil with his back to the viewer - he holds a hammer in his right hand and in his left hand he holds up a knife to inspect his work. The knife is Stillmaker, the green blade that he will gift to the Dark Urge. There is a black handprint on his ass cheek, the symbol of Bane.

Thanks to Cam Rogers on Facebook for articulating exactly the issues around the new animated Firefly that's been announced.

It's set between the end of the show and the 'Serenity' film. I can guess why: they consider Wash, and the Wash/Zoe relationship, too valuable. But this really is both a mistake and an act of creative cowardice. Whether that was the cast's call or the money's call the point stands.
Don't get me wrong: we have much bigger problems at the moment. But, to take a moment away from those problems and address a point of craft:
I can't believe the US is still - STILL - death-gripping the notion that prequels are a good idea. There's an inherent lack of tension in having *read the ending already*. An ending, I might add, that fueled a ton of unresolved tension - desire - to know *what happens after that ending*. Fans have held that tension for almost twenty years and this is what they get.
Prequels fundamentally disrespect the trust and investment viewers placed in what you made. If it was a story worth telling you'd have started there. On some level we all know we're being handed warmed-up leftovers.
Final point: I had no intention of supporting this as Baldwin (who plays Jane) was one of the main instigators of GamerGate and *created the hashtag*.
By association the cast approves of his company while also enriching him. If you're cool with providing work for a pop-eyed right-winger who created what is arguably the defining incel movement and marshalled an army of men to terrorize women for having careers and opinions then, frankly, nobody should feel safe working with you ever again. And you certainly shouldn't be supported.
Especially in this current moment.
Weak art, stale bread, handled by a dirtbag whose involvement diminishes everyone involved. Take a hike.

A reddish purple monochrome digital sketch of Gale and a tiefling woman with face tattoos and a high ponytail having sex. Gale is sitting on the edge of a canopied bed whilst the tiefling woman is sitting on his lap with her back against his chest. Gale touches her clit with one hand while he kisses her, and she has one hand at the back of his neck.

3D render of Gale Dekarios from Baldur’s Gate 3 and Celeste, a half elf woman with black hair. They are sharing an intimate moment together in their shared bed. Gale holds Celeste with one hand under her arched back as he stands at the edge of the bed, his left hand trailing a path between her breasts. The heel of Celeste’s left foot pushes into the small of Gale’s back, her left hand clawing at his right arm as her right hand pulls the at bed sheets. The room is warmly lit by candlelight, and the moon streams in from an open window behind Gale.

It's winter in Waterdeep, and the holidays are coming thick and fast. Moonfest, Simril, Wintershield, Midwinter — there's a festival for everyone in the City of Wonders, it would seem. But most importantly, it's the first winter for the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Ulutar-Dekarios of Waterdeep, and Gale has planned for some festive cheer.

He just forgot to tell Ryme'dra about his plans.
