My first professionally published short story came out today! It's in the excellent Abyss and Apex magazine, and I really hope you enjoy it. https://t.co/onXSfcEeaI
Heartbreaking news for the Yu-Gi-Oh! community 💔
I recently learned the devastating news that fellow Yu-Gi-Oh! content creator Alex Cimo has passed away after a courageous battle with Stage IV colon cancer.
For many of us, Alex wasn't just another YugiTuber. He was a pillar of the Yu-Gi-Oh! community. A creator whose passion, positivity, and love for the game touched hundreds of thousands of players around the world. It's hard to put into words the impact one person can have on a community, but Alex's influence will continue to be felt for years to come.
My thoughts and deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and everyone whose lives he touched. Rest in peace, Alex. Thank you for everything! 🕊️
@AdamGibson112@DanieruSan3 Yeah like we can analyze his phrasing (or the fact he planned on gifting it to her) and what that says about his outlook, but wishing upon a star that your crush likes you back does not imply you have no respect for their agency/personhood.
"Honey, I've decided to run for the US Senate. A DNC PR focus group recruited me and I think I can win."
"Ok but can we talk about the thing?"
"Which thing? The tattoo?"
"No I'm cool with that. The OTHER thing."
"My Reddit posts bashing rape victims, gays, blacks and Purple Heart recipients?"
"No., THE OTHER THING."
@poe_collector One time a bounty hunter hit squad was coming after our barbarian and we just...let them have him. He got polymorphed into a bunny (and killed).
@BeAfraid_Horror I mean it feels kind of perfect for a monkey's paw flick tbh. You get a hold of someone, they immediately understand the problem...but all they can tell you is that you're basically already fucked.
@franzsherbert Like even if you don't hold onto the opening crawl establishing that the federation is blockading/conquering Naboo as retaliation for Republic tax policy, you still get that the Federation is unjustified and should be kicked off Naboo. The issue is why do we care?
@franzsherbert Honestly I think the bigger problem is establishing stakes. Padme is the only main character with skin in the game, but her arc is undermined by the body double plotline. So Naboo is a chess piece and the stakes of its control are really low for the audience.
