As someone who always enjoys a videogame shotgun, I love the Strelak 50-50 in Deathloop. This thing looks like the offspring of a Lewis Gun a Benelli that hooked up behind a bar on a Saturday night and I adore it.

The Strelak 50-50 shotgun from Deathloop. It has two flat, round pancake magazines in the middle of its body, with an over/under double barrel arrangement.

Took me a couple of months, but I’ve finally written my Opus88 fountain pen dry. I had it inked with Dominant Industry’s Earl Grey Tea, which is a lovely burnt orange color. At least I’m continuing my habit of using colors when they’re vaguely off season, I suppose.

Watch Firefly Wedding.

But there are levels to this shit. Some shows aren’t “I can fix him;” some, like Studio Deen’s adaptation of Asuka Konishi’s Yakuza Fiancé, are shows where “we can make each other worse.” The x-factor in these stories is that they play with the neck hair-raising fight-or-flight response of their headstrong heroines wandering—whether willfully or out of abject defiance—into a romance with dangerous men. Compared to its contemporaries, toxic romance anime of its ilk is sprawling. It’s big, it’s fun, it's fucked up! But that very danger makes it hard to put down.

Firefly Wedding brings to the table a romance anime that walks the razor’s edge of violent, funny, and hilarious, an addition to this pantheon.

Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪

A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Macklemore already has the Mandate of Heaven, but this comment left under the "Thrift Shop" video last week is still nice to see. His decency isn't a recent development.

"I am of the background club dancers and the ones in the stores. I'm also the one in the green sweater riding a bike at the start of the video. I just thought it was silly fun project and forgot I did this until I got a royalty check for $2057 two days after the news broke out! We had so much fun filming this. We drank so many slurpees! The goodwill gave us all $100 vouchers and Mac like we called him was freaking hilarious! But he was a nice dude and he footed the bill for our lunches. On the last day of filming, he gave us all fur coats and took us to Taneda restaurant. Booked it all out and had a bang of a party!! Never thought this song would be the massive impact that it is today. Love him even more now!! ❤❤✌️✌️"

Looking for something short? Try my short stories! I have a nice handful of them. We've got a vampire grieving for a life that once was, an immortal chasing after someone already lost, an oracle bringing silence to the cosmos, and body horror feat. flowers! shop.earlronove.com/collection/s...

a graphic for S. Jean's short stories. They are lined up with descriptions underneath them. They are The Ghosts Left Behind with its red and black cover as a punk young man leaps out of a red window, Immortality in the Marrow with its blue, white, and black cover with a young man opening his shirt to reveal a ribcage beneath it as magic lines float around him, You and I Are Eternal with its black and white cover of a young man kneeling before a celestial being and holding its hand, and finally summertime blossoms with its cover of a young man standing with a bundle of roses as he reaches into it to touch it and holds one to his lips to kiss it.

The descriptions of each are below each cover and are as follows:
The Ghosts Left Behind: A vampire returns to the home he left 30 years ago and has to grapple with the life he left behind.
8k words, familial grief, vampire
Immortality in the Marrow: After living countless lives, an immortal finally finds his other half in a skeleton displayed for study.
6k words, magic & memory, letting go (or not)
You and I Are Eternal: An oracle searches deep space for an ancient eldritch being to bring the cosmos back to silence.
7.6k words, cosmic horror, villain protagonist
summertime blossoms: When your best friend turns to roses after you finally kiss, what else can you do but tend to the blossoms?
4k words, body horror flowers, regrets & lost dreams.

Below the short stories, the graphic indicates their price ($2 USD each) and lets viewers know they are available on the author's itch.io and personal store.
