Poetry time 101: Caurcassus

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Dec. 22, 2024



Predicating Xerkes of Xanitorium
Sleeping forever within your crematorium
Allseeing in a vacuum watching
Blessmade by mindframed swatching
Your pets are dancing in the flying blaze of Babylon
Inside Caurcassus stands Mnemnon in a bloodied pantalon
Predicating respite of knowledge behind columns of moratorium
Predicating Xerxes of Xanitorium

The Christmas Special

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 21, 2024



There's a difference between a Christmas Special and a Christmas Movie. While the Movie is written around Christmas (or Hannukah or any other Yule-season holiday), the Christmas Special forces the show to be written around Christmas whether it likes it or not.

The hilarity ensues when it falls in ...

Failure

Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 19, 2024



Why do we fall down, Master Bruce?

So we can get up again.

That was a line from Batman Begins, back in the day, that the movie made sure to put out there multiple times. It was an important theme they wanted to hit in that story. It's an ...

Poetry Time 100: Exit

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Dec. 15, 2024



The final revelation is revealed.
Found by heart, fouled by tears
The worst fears come before the dawn
Past shadows, future days
A last erase of that collapsing embrace
The blood is beat, the sighs depart
Alas, my heart celebrates its way out

I got nothing.

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 14, 2024



It's been a very tough week (as per usual these past few weeks) and I've been sitting here staring at the blank screen of my computer trying to think of a topic to write about for the newspost.

And I got nothing. I keep drawing blanks. I have ...

Not Because it is Easy, but Because it is Hard

Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 12, 2024



In our Quackcast about Non-Linear storytelling this week, I had a tangent of a thought about the value of difficult or challenging fiction as opposed to stories that are easier to understand.

An unusual structure to a story can be challenging to understand, but if it's done well, the ...

Poetry Time 99: Nine Lives

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Dec. 8, 2024



Nine. I see the light burning to darkness.
All so swiftly. All so blindly.
Eight. I hear the alarm screaming to deafness.
All so widely. All so loudly.
Seven. I taste the medicine spoiling to sickness.
All so queasily. All so badly.
Six. I sense the odour stinking to foulness ...

Baby Steps

The end of the year is fast approaching. Per tradition these past few years, I have done an article focusing on setting comic goals or habits for the upcoming year. Last year, for instance, I had a whole bunch of goals to achieve, habits to establish and projects I wanted ...

I'm Out of Order? You're Out of Order! - Nonlinear storytelling

I finally watched Strange Darling the other night. I think I saw part of a review at some point and dipped out before it could be spoiled.

And boy howdy, THAT'S the way to see Strange Darling ...
