Our plane requires "maintenance" for our "safety" so we have to wait some extra hours at the airport. I'm not falling for that shit, United Airlines is actively trying to keep me from getting to @lyxlyon.bsky.social sooner, I just know it. 😤 Monsters.

WE DID IT, EVERYONE!!! So originally I was going to produce a fancy bookplate and autograph it for all the hardcovers if we hit the stretch goal that is meant for that, but you guys all really showed up for me so I'm going to add that to the shipments whether we hit the stretch goal or not!

Most of you don’t know this, but my amazing brother Drake has stage 4 brain cancer. He’s had 3 brain surgeries this year alone and upcoming is a fourth. He’s not able to work right now, which makes paying bills impossible. i know times are tough, but also, you aren’t a 29 year old with cancer…

Hello, my name is Drake, aka Sir Fudgepops online. I have stage 4 melanoma cancer that I have been battling for over 5 years now. I am raising funds to help with day-to-day expenses and pay for medical bills. I'm 29 and married to the love of my life, Candice last year and we just celebrated our first anniversary of which i could not be more thrilled. I love DnD (forever DM) and video games. I stream sometimes on Twitch (Twitch.tv/sirfudgepops) and love to just have fun in whatever I do.

Recently, my condition has been worsening quite a lot, and I've been let go from my job at the worst time possible, as I have needed to work on myself a lot, trying to get my life together, but it is becoming increasingly hard to do so. I have had three brain surgeries within the last year and am about to need a fourth. This fourth surgery will be the most intense one yet, and they will be removing parts of my brain instead of the lit-burning procedure that was done before. With these surgeries, I have had to relearn to walk, speak, type, cook, and even just think. My left hand doesn't work great, and while I'm trying everything to keep my coordination and dexterity with it from devolving, it is not going well.
I'm once again put into a position of asking for help to cover expenses for medical, utility, and food while I'm stuck in a repeating trend of not being able to work and having to stay home, rest, and recover.

If you could find it in your heart to donate to my family and me, it would mean the world. If you find yourself in a situation where you want to help but cannot help financially, please consider at least sharing this link to my GoFundMe so that someone else might be able to help. Anything is appreciated, even if it's just thoughts and prayers.

self funding your own book as a writer AND artist takes so much work and drive and i’m so proud of josh for putting this out, despite and in spite of going through some tough times lately. we’re coming up on the last 40 hours of @joshuafrantic.bsky.social ‘s hollowbane campaign! 🔗⬇️

a spooky tree on a hill with a purple artsy and demonic background

“that tree… behemothic. dead. and the most entrancing and alluring sounds coming from it. i need to know.

a girl with white hair looking up at a demon tied to a tree.

DEMON: FOR MANY YEARS MAL PHAS RULED HERE. THOSE HE DEEMED A POTENTIAL THREAT WERE KILLED, OR WORSE.

GIRL: NO, I CAME HERE OF MY OWN WILL. WHO DID THIS TO YOU, GAAP?

DEMON: HMM...YOUR OWN WILL, YOU SAY...
YOU MUST BE IN POSSESSION OF THE IDOLS THEN.

GIRL: PERHAPS.
ARE THE IDOLS THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER AND LEAVE?

DEMON: THE ONLY PROPER WAY. ONLY ONE HAS SUCCEEDED IN ESCAPING WITHOUT THEM, BUT NO DOUBT AT A COST.

Next up is the 1992 Toxic Crusaders game for the Sega Genesis. Often confused as being the same as the NES one that ALSO released in 92, but they are quite different games from different developers. NES: more platformer elements, can only play as Toxie Genesis: more beat 'em up, 3 character options
