A little gift for a friend of their Yuan-ti divination wizard!! Her arcane focus is a polished bronze mirror and I went for a more gorgon-inspired approach to Yuan-Ti šŸāšœļøšŸŖž Didnā€™t expect to take that long a break but finally back to making some character designs!! I felt really out of practice going into this and struggled quite a bit but I was able to get her done finally so thatā€™s a win! (also Iā€™ll be opening commissions at the end of this week so keep an eye out if your interested!)

A card game based on the popular Prime Video series Good Omens is on the way.Ā 

Last night, Renegade Game Studios announced that they were producing a Good Omens card game, with box art featuring Michael Sheen and David Tennantā€™s depictions of Aziraphale and Crowley. Details about the card game were scarce, but the game will have three different versions ā€“ one for hobby stores, one for Barnes & Nobles, and one for Amazon. Each version will have some cosmetic differences in addition to different card art. More details will likely be revealed soon, as the game is due out for release in May of this year.

Watch youtube video announcement here :).

More info here :)

Amazon Exlusive: 12 or 13 foil boarded cards (shinier version of Crowley and Aziraphale)

Barnes & Noble Exclusive: Heaven& Hell themed diced bag - black with silver etching, games logo

Hobby Store Exclusive: Angess Nutter themed bag - like the Book of Prophecies

- 7 card and dice games, each 20-30 minutes, easy to learn, all cooperative that recreate the events of Season 1 of Good Omens :)

WAHOO! :)

I really feel like Television should enter an era of allowing happy endings. Thatā€™s not to say characters canā€™t suffer along the way or that storylines canā€™t be ā€œdarkā€ but I would really like to see stories end on hopeful notes. Iā€™m so sick of every story having tragic endings, especially considering the world we live in right now. Call me naive, I donā€™t care, but hope breeds hope. Love breeds love. Happiness breeds happiness. Allowing our characters to overcome and find the light in the end is powerful. Allowing characters to be happy is brave because happiness is not boring. I feel like weā€™re surrounded by dark stories in fiction and in reality and I find myself wondering whereā€™s the hope and happiness.. is no one overcoming the darkness?

As Terry Pratchett said:

Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country? Why does Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards? Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place. Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.ā€

Why Tumblr? Why do you, an actual celebrity, a famous writer, use Tumblr of all websites?

(The actual celebrity and famous writer sits back in his rocking chair, surveys the world of Tumblr, from his porch. He chews meditatively on a straw, and then he says:)

TACAFW: Y'see, I've been here for nigh on twelve years now, which in new-fangled internet years is about four hundred years... yup, I remember when all this wuz just folks trading photos of cats, and I remember when over there, where it's now just waste land, that whole part of town was whut we used to call 'Not safe for work" -- hooey, I don't know where those folks went, when they got driv out of town -- but me, through those twelve years, I've just been in this old rockin' chair on this old porch, and I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go... I guess I mus' just' like it here...

If you want to read actual squad goals or whatever please I am begging you go read circle of magic

Sandry slapping the hand of one of the five most powerful people in the whole temple off the latch of the gate because he was pursuing her foster brother for stealing a miniature tree and informing said powerful person that she FORBID him to enter lives rent free in my mind

So does Tris mostly accidentally creating a water spout bc she tried to dump water on some dudes about to fight her friends who she didn't even really consider her friends yet

Daja just going 'okay, well, I have a staff and YOU tried to hurt one of my friends' to a whole group of older kids?

Briar turning around for the same fight and going 'oh yeah gotta go back up my sist- I mean these people I totally don't care about'?!

RENT

FREE

These kids won't let each other (or their foster parents) die

I mean literally WILL NOT ALLOW IT this is not like 'hah hah they will charge in and remove the situation' I mean Sandry will simply tie you to your body and be like 'nope'

You think you can die on these kids' watch if they decide they love you? You'd better be a continent away in a remote village with no contact with the outside world

And even then it's questionable

Poirot shivered. The thought of a fourteenth-century English manor house filled him with apprehension. He had suffered too often in the historic country houses of England. He looked round appreciatively at his comfortable modern flat with its radiators and the latest patent devices for excluding any kind of draught.
