Michele, a Ghost of Cinders

35, they/them, based in Italy. I write about monsters & myths. TTRPG freelancer, writer & developer, often for Onyx Path. I'll geek out about books, movies, games, and RPGs.

I've just received my copy of They Came from the RPG Anthology!, which is the latest release for a line I've been infesting with insistence for years, by now. For this one, I wrote the Western chapters (given Italians do those better) and the pirate one. Now, to wait for Witchford Academy.

The cover for They Came from the RPG Anthology, a book by Onyx Path that allows to play many movie genres.

The cover depicts a cowboy, an alien, a Victorian lady, a Noir femme fatale, and a Falstaff-type character.The first two pages of They Came from Cowboy's Gulch!, the Western chapter.The first two pages of They Came from Under the Skull & Crossbones!, the pirate chapter.

"removing my adhd diagnosis was a relief (because of ablest policies that discriminate against a significant proportion of the population)" is the new "I'm happier after detransitioning (despite my ongoing dysphoria, because I'm not being actively transphobically abused every day by my society)"

You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop Seems relevant

'“When my ADHD diagnosis was removed, it was a relief’
Rates of conditions such as ADHD and autism seem to be ever growing, but some adults diagnosed in childhood are happy to be free of their labels”

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

YouTube banning ASMR channels of women creators (and always women) because they also happened to link to their fan sites, policing their autonomy and choices - outside of YouTube, even - is a fucking puritanical travesty. People losing years of work & income just like that. Vile.

here's another throwback from 2016 a private poster commission inspired by Moby Dick honestly still really love this one, both the concept and execution i worked on pre-inked scratchboard for this one (so fully black) instead of the usual white claybord that i ink myself 30x40cm

a black and white scratchboard illustration inspired by Mody Dick. It depicts a giant white whale about to collide with a whaling ship. The scene is viewed from a bird's eye view, high above the scene. Seagulls are seen orbiting around the scene. The ship and the whale create waves in the water that reinforce the tension between them.
