It's quite flattering to learn that they've made a Magic the Gathering card out of me

A Magic card from the Hobbit set titled "Nasty Little Rabbit", the remaining text is irrelevant to the nature of the joke

"Magic schools" have been a notion since the medieval age, so surely #MTGStrixhaven would be fairly normal for the game But then they put Ancestral Recall on a card So in an attempt to forge an actual Video Series™️, I ask, how normal is Secrets of Strixhaven? youtu.be/3-bL3kaT9CQ

I guess if I'm actually releasing the book I should do some promo kinda stuff leading up to the date So let's do some longer write-ups about the cast, starting of course with the protagonist Kell www.vapormage.com #booksky

Promotional image about Kell Rusalka, they of Candhall, Cymona. Depicted in a green, sci-fi-ish wardrobe covering their entire body, doing some relaxed wizardy stuff.

The blurb about them:

Y'know how they say, "the doctor who graduates at the bottom of their class is still a doctor"? That's Kell. They're the runt. The flunkie. Well behind the other Vapormages in power and capability. Their strengths aren't the things that make a great Vapormage, except for one: they can be stubborn as all hell when they want to be.

Kell usually keeps quiet about their childhood, only ever admitting that they were a bit of a punk growing up. You wouldn't know it now, with how they keep to themself, but their close friends can see that personality come through from time to time.

Like all the other Vapormages, Kell is all but quarantined at their base until called up for action. They were one of very few who weren't initially called up for the Winters' War years ago, joining the fight only when absolutely needed.

When Kell does appear off the Vapormages' base, you can usually find them at the theatre. They love terrible films, and there are plenty to love. Most of the time, they're laughing at the melodrama, but maybe it says something that they keep quoting those movies in their everyday life.

Hupfen @hupfen.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

GODKILLER by way of Terry Pratchett When magic is mundane, it takes a lot for a VAPORMAGE to be special. Kell Rusalka, runt of the group, ain't got it. But when the world seems bent on destroying them and their home, they'll need their fellow outcasts to bring it out of them. #QuestPit #Q #SFF #A

In lieu of a proper moodboard here's VAPORMAGE as a series of Magic the Gathering cards as doing this gives a better sense of my personality:
- A weird cloaked figure removing an obviously false face (Behind the Mask, by Caio Monteiro)
- An art deco demon mob boss (An Offer You Can't Refuse, by Dallas Williams)
- A samurai/warrior woman holding two badass flaming swords (Mardu Runemark, by Viktor Titov)
- Two women fleeing dramatically through a gilded city (Daring Escape, by Ekaterina Burmak)
- A yellow ghost cat in a library having a heck of a frolic (Enduring Curiosity, by Julie Dillon)
- A dramatically cloaked man dramatically throwing a dramatic kunai (Artful Takedown, by Mike Bierek)
- A decaying wolf giving the best awoo it can all things considered (Shrill Howler, by Matt Stewart)
- A tranquil beach with a fancy and fanciful academy looming in the background (Idyllic Beachfront, by Robin Olausson)

GODKILLER via Terry Pratchett Nobody believes advertising. Especially when it sells a VAPORMAGE as an unbeatable master of sorcery. But if Kell, the last vapormage, is going to survive the knights and gods threatening their life, they'll have to live up to the hype. #P2Ppit #A #Q #SF #F #LGBT

The pitch:

A mage, a grunt, a scholar, a spy: four misfits adventure together to save their world, people, and selves. If only they can stop trying to kill each other first.

VAPORMAGE: A ~107k word queer science fantasy adventure

An erratic listing of tropes roughly related to VAPORMAGE, including:
- Magitek!
- Underground city!
- Birds of a feather!
- Bad bosses!
- Ragtag bunch of misfits!
- Extremely slow burn!
- Aliens speaking English!
- Bird folk!
- Lizard folk?
- Opposites attract!

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017
