Years ago, I was playing someone's game and finished a quest in an unexpected way using stealth. It was one of the first times where I felt really rewarded for doing so and it was an awesome moment only marred by the scripting not accounting for it. The designer's response was to remove that option.

Playing Leda's route in Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave first, and your honor I love her; she's so unwell. (Little moments from playing her Part 1; spoilers up to her Ch. 6 below!) #fefw #leda

Buccar opens the army's coin pouch to pay for a carriage ride, only to find it empty. "Wh- Where did all of our funds go? That was our entire income for the chapter! We can't even take the carriage back to Dagsion!"
Mean, Leda is off to the side with a guilty expression, holding a bouquet of flowers, a Zanbato, Mini-Bow, and Javelin. Arrows point to her, indicating: "Gifts to recruit pretty women", and "Effective and 1-2 rng weapons that will be useful later, promise".

A dramatic shot of Theodora punching Alexandra, shot from Alexandra's point of view. Dark hellfire wreaths Theodora as her eyes glow with an unholy glare, blood dripping from her knuckles. Alexandra tries to raise her hand to defend herself, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, Bonaventure and Dietrich look on, unhappy. Leda, however, is admiring the scene with sparkles around her.

☝️ remember kids, always put the words on the page before you draw anything. the placement of the bubbles is just as much a part of the art as the drawings themselves. in fact bad bubble placement is worse than a bad drawing.

Beatspell really made me respect the 3/4 and 8/8 time signatures with its weird monster fights. So, what would 11/8 look like?

Panel 1: Yu stands across from a small, white dog. Narra's voice comments: "Hm... This seems to be a weirder monster than usual. I wonder what it's doing in this underground cave?" Panel 2: Narra: "Regardless, you'll have to get past it to make it farther into the cave." Yu strikes a battle pose. Panel 3: Then Yu notices that the seal around her, which is usually a diamond to represent 4/4, is suddenly a nonagon. Narra: "Uh. Is that... a 9/4 time signature? That's unusual, but it shouldn't be anything you can't handle..." Panel 4: In the next panel, the seal is suddenly a pentagon. Yu is visibly sweating. Narra: "It... changed?! In the middle of the song?? Alright, stay calm. as long as you can adjust to both, you'll eventually-" Panel 5: The seal is now a mishappen hexagon, seemingly representing 5/4. Yu is horrified. Narra: "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to restart the chapter..." But the Annoying Dog is already launching itself at Yu...

Rhythm Heaven Groove spoilers! (More specifically, Beatspell spoilers) I love the Final Chapter a ton! It does so many clever twists, and I suspect I'll never be able to hear bells again without tapping Excorsis; I can't imagine what it's like for Yu...

Yu and Narra from Beatspell are dressed up in wedding attire, walking down the aisle. Mages in formal wear are in attendance, and the scarecrow is waiting to officiate.

Wedding bells ring, causing Yu to react with surprise.

Yu casts Excorsis on reflex at the altar, blasting Narra away off-screen with a BAM!!

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.
