“Like Them” is a high fantasy story that follows Apprentice Warden Rüni of the Gathering on their very first field mission. Sent to aid a nearby town overwhelmed by illness, Rüni must help track down the source of Void contamination in the town’s water. I’m real proud of this piece!

To keep myself accountable and finally try, I’m making October my month to really learn how to draw… by drawing for others. If YOU have a ttrpg character you want sketched or a little town or forest mapped, feel free to leave a comment of what you want and I’ll try my best for free!
Two books I’m trying to use to draw - “How To Draw Your RPG Character”, and “The Game Master’s Guide to Fantasy Map Making”.

If you are a professional responsible for making/promoting lists: please don’t only include books which are popular, or seem outlandish, or “safe” to talk about. The reason these lists are becoming popular again is people desperately trying to keep marginalized authors afloat.

What matters is you try. Run for library board. Vote in your local elections. Yell at every public meeting you get the chance to. This is a life/death issue for democracy, and treating it as trivial is a huge problem. I saw kids every day who were learning despite unsupportive adults.

LRS: I don’t want to take focus from Maggie’s very true post—lots of book ban lists focus on CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY BANNED ANNE FRANK and not the wide swath of authors affected. Which is why for a while, librarians tried very hard to focus less on specific titles and more on the freedom to read.

Buried in this story that everyone’s leaving out of the conversation is that he blames Jews for creating the FDA to ban “holistic” health treatments and make everyone sick to profit off of them. It always, always, always comes back to antisemitism. It’s the core that rots everything from center out
"In 1933 when the Rothschilds FDA came along the first thing they went after was radium water... not vaxxines [sic], dirty electricity, or pesticides," he wrote in the video's caption. "Gee I wonder why... healthy people don't yield large profits."

Pls admire this old map I drew of my fantasy world awhile back! Had to pull it out for these Rüni stories and wanted to reshare. 😘 If you like fantasy stuff inspired heavily by things like the Dark Crystal, Zelda, & Shadow of the Colossus, you may like the stories set in my world of Eddara!
An image of a hand drawn map on a fake parchment background. It's labeled "Eddara". It's a large single continent with a large river bisecting it running NE-SW. there are many small islands in the north and some slightly larger ones in the south. A deep River canyon is marked on the north east. Small drawings indicating terrain such as mountains, forest, plains, jungle, tundra, desert, marsh.

Circles and squares note cities and towns.

It's pretty clearly inspired by JRR Tolkien's maps.

Meet Some of my Disabled & Chronically Ill Characters! This is Rüni (they/them); they have a digestive disease that is really Crohn’s disease (like me!). They also get an injury to their back at 17 that causes arthritis & chronic pain in their spine (mirrors my ankylosing spondylitis, Dx’d at 17).
Art by Samazkama of an elf-like character with light brown skin and freckles, yellow eyes, and white-blonde near luminous hair. They hold a long staff with a cluster of leaves at the end, and wear a green and yellow cap-sleeved tunic over a white shirt with brown trousers and white boots. Yellow flowers are around their right wrist.

Working on a short story with a big focus on ableism and its impact on poor Rüni*— hoo boy. Made myself sad. And angry. Time for a break! *Rüni is a character with disabilities and chronic illness that reflect my own. So, this shit gets very intense to write— but will be so cathartic one day. 👀
