Chapter 4 of Love is the Warmest Colour

“I don’t know who you are. And my mama said not to talk to strangers,” Felix said to the woman. “Oh, but I know you,” she purred, then began to recite in a robotic voice, “F, age 52. Single male, looking for partners in crime. Makes a mean BBQ, authentic gumbo and the best carne asada north of the border. Gives five-star foot rubs and while vanilla is a fine flavour prefers a little more spice in the bedroom. Travels often for work.” Felix finally turned and looked at the woman closer, and clenched his jaw.  "Media," he said. "Oh, close. So close. But I had a little glow-up. New Media, hello, hi."

1. Something that has ALWAYS bugged me about the Starz series adaptation of American Gods (other than the awful writing and deviating from the source) was the atrocious and out of touch design of Tech Boy. I read that they changed his design from what the book describes because of the very drastic ever changing culture of the internet since 2001 compared to 2017, but they even missed that too. So, as a child of the internet and with the souring numbers of 4 hours a day on average spent on my phone since 2017 and (what I like to think) a better grasp and understanding of 2017-2021 youth culture, I've taken it into my own hands to redesign what I like to call "Tech Kid" as a 100 gecs, Monster chugging, fast fashion wearing raver/e-kid. Rant Over.

2. Redesigning and overhauling one of my ooold worlds involving shrimp aliens. These are said shrimp aliens
