Recently it struck me. So far I’ve already brought up two water-based mythic beings in this series of articles, and non of them were mermaids. Which is why I’ve decided to talk about them here today. We’re pretty much all familiar with mermaids. Though maybe not as ...

Peacemaker is probably not everyone's cup of tea…but it must be seen at least once
to appreciate the opening credits dance number. Brilliant!
When Vince Gilligan was co-creating the idea for the Better Call Saul spinoff, he said that one of the challenges he and Peter Gould and ...
The Professional as Character and Plot Device

Better Call Saul!
First, let me apologize in advance for what will probably be a LOT of Better Call Saul related Newsposts over the next few months. The show is finally coming back, and has been one of my all-time favorites. So…BCS Lovefest incoming.
It won't be every ...
I want to talk about boobs
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 2, 2022
There is generally a debate about how women's chests should be drawn. On and off I'll come across whole essays about how drawing women with large boobs is shorthand for sexualization and objectification. There's a lot of talk about how flat chested ladies or those of the ...
When You Have to Tone it Down
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 5, 2022
I've talked at times about how, as I make Without Moonlight, I have to constantly make choices on what to include and what not to from …reality.
By that I mean that true, documented (and even photographed) events from the nazi occupation of Athens during WWII are so grotesquely ...
Horrific, Evil Cults
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 27, 2022
I’ve said this before. I LOVE the video game Condemned. I also love its sequel Condemned 2. Also known over at the states as Condemned: Criminal Origins and Condemned: Bloodshot respectively.
I’m not gonna talk so much about the games themselves in this article, but I warn you ...

There are few days more appropriate than today to write about Love as a topic. Aphrodite herself, the goddess of love, fell in love with the beautiful Adonis, before his ill-fated day when he encountered the wild boars.
Love comes in many ...
Another December and Another Gift to Fans
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2021
Last December saw the return of iconic hero Luke Skywalker in the Mandalorian. It was a shockingly well-kept secret and I can tell you that I sure didn't see it coming. As a fandom-dweller, it was a beautiful moment that still brings a smile to my scraggly, wrinkled face ...
