Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

A reminder for those at the back.
A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

I've replace the rifle with a plank of wood labelled "AI Slop"

Goddess of Spring: fertility incarnate, that means huge tits. Goddess of Summer: bikini season, that means huge tits. Goddess of Autumn: bountiful harvest, that means huge tits. Goddess of Winter: comforting warmth when all else is cold? You're not gonna believe this, but that also means huge tits.

14: Divine abilities! Do you NEED to know about the war of a god cut in half and the divine gifts the good one gave the Remaining World? Nah. But are they cool? HELL YEAH. Magical stealth, human mood rings, precognition, a muscle that burns luck, and more!!

13: Reflections of Empire: the imperial mindset is insidious and corruptive; it inherently desires consumption and subjugation of the will, the self. What does it look like to free oneself from empire? What does it look like to willingly let yourself become swallowed by it?

12: I feel like it's a good mystery! It may be less about solving stuff literally than it is about solving stuff emotionally (???) but it FEELS fun and interesting, so that feels nice.

11: Standalone with sequel potential. If the People decide, I've got a few other stories after this one in this world of Favor and Debt and magical capitalism and the Remaining World and those in it, but if not, well, Hotel Centuria should be able to stand on its own.

Marty Cahill @mcflycahill90.bsky.social · 11h
Everyone's Got An Angle. Who is our killer? Could it be Centuria, the former spymaster to the Emperor? Could it be the Emperor, hoping to take her Hotel for himself? Could it be his new bodyguard, a savant with every reason to hate him? Or his personal debt-carrier, dying from deific debt?

9: I lied, one of the robots is a Chef, and I absolutely adore him and love that he has dedicated himself to a craft he can't take part in, but loves anyway, and one of the major themes of this book is service and being of service to others.

Marty Cahill @mcflycahill90.bsky.social · 11h
8: Morally grey is the best kind of grey. Even Centuria doesn't always have the strongest moral compass! What do we need to do to find our way toward fixing the world without destroying it further?

5: Magic of capitalism, the capitalism of magic. I hand someone a dollar and they hand me something in return. How is that not magic? How we agree on value and who has value and how is value traded in a world where hoarding it is power, well . . . you'll have to read more.

3: Did I Mention Sentient Hotel? Yes! One of our main points of view is the hotel Centuria operates, fittingly, the Hotel Centuria, which is also the working title. They're young & sassy! They're a building and sprawling grounds and made up of disparate memories! What is personhood to a building?
100
Marty Cahill @mcflycahill90.bsky.social · 11h
2: Genre Explosion! It's epic fantasy, it's murder mystery, it's a little science fiction, it's a little literary introspection, it's a takedown of capitalism writ large and small, and populated with dozens and dozens of relationships.

Marty Cahill @mcflycahill90.bsky.social · 11h
1: My protagonist is an eighty-four year old woman named Centuria! I hardly ever see work that centers an older person, let alone an older woman, as the main protagonist and I've been working hard to bring her to life as someone worthy of following AND someone whose story is not done.

I say this a lot but when I started in the comics industry, for whatever reason, there were almost no women working as creators in mainstream comics. Quite a few in indie books and some behind the scenes. But not many with their name on the front of a DC/Marvel book. The legends had left.
