Old but still alive

Submission 2/2 for @creatingblackcharacters 's Melanin Beam Challenge 2026 - Olruggio, also from Witch Hat Atelier!

His look is inspired by this cosplay by riverjmv on instagram, they did SUCH a stellar job and the locs work so so well for Olruggio! Please check out River's stuff, he's a great cosplayer.

Olruggio's a very kind person even if he won't admit it. He builds contraptions that bring comfort and joy to people....he also needs a goddamn vacation cuz he's like perpetually exhausted from working all-nighters (which is why a lower maintenance protective style feels like a good fit for him)

I call Defy the Gods "queer sword & sorcery." And I mean it. But to see a thorough journalist dive deep into everything that makes it queer, you gotta read Lin Codega's latest feature in Rascal News: https://www.rascal.news/queer-games-require-queer-structures-defy-the-gods-analysis-close-reading/

Tuesday, Wednesday tread through muck

Was that laughter really a sign of... enjoyment?

For too long has the world of imagination been terrorized by infinite budget.

Now, for the low low cost of $0, you can install a mod that forces you to recognize how much you are wasting in costuming, choreo, and special effects when you frame a scene in a ttrpg.

Reorient your setting around cheaper costumes. Come up with lower budget ways to portray action. Make every other scene two characters talking in a room so that you can have a fight near the finale.

All of the wonders of serialized television, now available in your living room.
