:D Finally sharing the preview of my fic in @superbatfanbook! OH BRUCE. :| (It's me, you know they get there in the end, but they just have to take the long way every dang time, bless.)

ANYWAY, I've been reblogging promo posts about this zine off and on, but we're getting close to the finish line: preorders are still open until July 8, which is next Wednesday! Not even a week left!

And half of the proceeds for the zine will be donated to Organized Communities Against Deportations, too. Honestly, even if you're not actually interested in the zine at all :'D please consider donating directly to OCAD, if you can comfortably afford to!

And if you are interested in the zine but haven't preordered yet, you've still got a few days left to do it. :D

Every glasses-related poll honestly needs to be separated into diopter ranges like wrestling weight classes bc every timeeeeee these +1.25 bitches are in the notes like "OMG why would you wear glasses in the shower!! why would you wear glasses having sex!!" because without them i am functionally blind. you may as well turn the lights off at that point bc i am feeling my way to the pussy like Velma. those are my eyes, bitch

Beatrix Potter

Writer, illustrator, conservationist, natural scientist

For the inaugural Arcade Feature, I'm excited to tell you about Beatrix Potter. Most people (including me) know her best for her picture books-

-which have sold over 250 million copies since they were published in the early 1900s.

Fun fact: In 1903, Peter Rabbit was the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy, making him the oldest licensed character.

But what really caught my attention is the work she was doing before Peter Rabbit came along.

Beatrix Potter had a scientific eye for detail, and was able to faithfully depict the world around her. In particular, she was interested in mycology.

In 1897, she put forward a paper to the Linnean Society in London... but as a woman was not allowed to be a member of the society nor attend the meeting when her paper was read. When the society's members did not pay much attention to her work, and fearing her samples to be contaminated, Potter withdrew her paper, which became lost. Only after Potter left hundreds of mycological artworks to a museum in the Lake District, UK, on her death in 1943, were her scientific talents recognized... Potter's precise and beautiful paintings and drawings of fungi are now helping modern mycologists in their efforts to identify species.*

Potter eventually moved away from books in favor of land management and farming. She was a prize-winning sheep breeder and a prosperous farmer, and bought several farms surrounding her own to preserve the unique hill country landscape. Much of that land now constitutes the Lake District National Park.

Keep an eye out for more Beatrix Potter throughout the month of February.

Today I learned that cuttlefish experience REM sleep, and that it makes their skin flash random colors. This is the cutest thing ever.

The electric eel at my aquarium has a voltmeter attached to his tank, and whenever he pumps out a burst of electricity–either when he’s navigating his tank or getting fed–the meter lights up and makes noise. Sometimes, I’ll walk past him when he’s snuggled up and totally motionless on his log, and see the voltmeter going crazy.

I am left to assume that he is dreaming, and is sleep-zapping at the things in his dreams.

I am absolutely delighted to learn that electric eels dream of kicking ass.

Event Calendar/Prompt Reveal

Now announcing the Fantasy Bruce Wayne Event: Event Calendar!

Above are all the prompts for each day throughout the event month of November!

Psst, here's a Gdoc copy of a simplified Event Cal for folks who need it.

A few things of note:

Reminder that participants can mix and match prompts as they wish, create an anthology work out of them, or make multiple pieces for the same/different prompts. You can even incorporate all prompts from one day into one work! The possibilities are endless!

Otherwise, participants need only choose at least one prompt from the calendar and create a piece according to how they view the prompt.

We only ask that you post your piece on the prompt day that corresponds latest in the month, or according to the prompt that is most prominent within the work. (i.e. If your work incorporates Steampunk from Day 3, with Deep Space from Day 21, and the piece focuses more on the Deep Space rather than Steampunk, please post your work on Day 21)

Prompts can be interpreted as you wish, as long as said interpretation adheres to the Rules and FAQ (pieces must be Bruce-centric, Bruce must be or become afflicted by the fantasy/sci-fi in some way)

Remember, this is a Fantasy Bruce Wayne Event! Go wild with whatever sings to you but please keep these tidbits in mind when creating your pieces.

And last but not least, our special gift we've been working hard on to give to our participants:

✨ Fantasy Bruce Wayne Event Workshop! ✨

https://discord.gg/M5Fd22bTbE

A Discord server where you can craft your pieces among kindred artists, workshop your ideas, and have all of the Event Info handy! Writers, artist, betas and more are all welcome as long as you are participating in the event and/or would like to cheerlead alongside fellow Fantasy Bruce lovers!

Participants will now have Four Months to create their pieces. Please have your pieces ready for posting by the day of the prompt your piece corresponds to on the Calendar above. If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to send us an ask!

We look forward to seeing you all in the server, and alongside fellow participants at posting time in November! ✨
