There’s gonna be a scrap and we cheer, so hear.
The blood of the primordials come to gather the pieces

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, March 2, 2024



Hey there Quackateers! Have you ever been compelled to continue a comic because of a character you just can't help but despise? These characters have the delightful role of drawing the audience’s ire. They’re often times a thorn in the side of the protagonist, acting as a ...

Actions and the Unaware

Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 29, 2024



A classic scene that terrified audiences back in the day was that moment in Halloween where an out-of focus Michael Myers (“The Shape”) sits up behind the traumatized Jamie Lee Curtis. “Behind you!

Poetry Time 62: Primordial Shell

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 25, 2024
