One of my favourite things in urban fantasy lit is when an author likes the IDEA of wizard boarding school drama, but wants to avoid getting Harry Potter stink on them and tries to do that by just inverting all the stuff they regard as problematic, and in so doing independently reinvents the X-Men.

"What did you call it?" one of the biologists said. "Bob," said the boy. "He's my friend." "I doubt 'he' is the-" "Never mind pronouns," the other biologist said. "This a new form of life!" "Nonsense, it's clearly a fungi!" "Actually," Bob said, "I'm a cheese." "And my friend!" "Indeed."

This is a sizeable proportion of horror festival submissions. They used to be “the writer’s barely disguised fetish.” They are now “the writer’s barely disguised therapy insights.”

Lots of arguments for Magneto, Ozymandias and Killmonger, but my money’s always on Darth Revan. I will also argue that Jareth the Goblin King was neither right nor wrong but behaving exactly the way that an ancient fey acts when some dipshit teenager invokes him to steal her brother.

I recently recommended The Repair shop to a friend, and they came back like "uhhhh, it's good, but, I have been crying a lot?" and I realized that I forgot to say that yes, I cry at almost every episode of the show where they repair small objects. So that's just a warning for everyone else

Level 9 portrait for my Curse of Strahd / She is the Ancient witch boy, Victoro di Terzo. With his messed up eye that got (as in: he did it himself >.>) poked out by his raven and replaced by a weird eye with three irises. All previous portraits done for respective level ups in the comment below.

Level 9.

A digital grayscale portrait of a thin pale man with a bread and gray hair. A raven that's next to him holds its beak open, and it's framing his left eye that has weird, messed up irises. The man has horns looking like a crown, and behind his are hints of more raven wings visible in the darkness.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Another @tkingfisher.com rec from @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social, 'Paladin's Grace' ⚔️🦝 Taking a tiny break from horror, this was EXACTLY what I needed - incredible cast of characters, excellent humour, romance written SO well, and loved the world building, I'm hooked. There are three more books 🙌

The cover for 'Paladin's Grace' by T. Kingfisher.

A beautifully painted medieval-esque fantasy world depicting a Paladin in armour and a blue cape at the door of a woman and her pet civet. The border is purple, with vines, a helmet, and a perfume bottle.

The sad thing is, it really isn’t. It’s like saying a physicist must be excited to see a suicidal man jump off a bridge. Yes, physics are occurring. But the physics occurring are not particularly stimulating for the intellect and the outcome is just sad. What‘s there to say? “Yep. Buddy went splat.”
