I am reading horror stories in a church tonight with a string quartet, which is definitely what its original designers intended.

I mean, who's to say Saint Augustine wasn't carnivorous?

When these two next book series are done, my treat to myself is going to be writing a novel with Hannibal's aesthetic and mood.

Just flannel and dim light and probably quite a lot of murders.

Also my For You tab is just Bruce Wayne dad takes.

Folks, I haven't trained my kid to fight ANYONE.

[daveruddenwrites]

I am in Glasgow because I handed two books in and they'll be out next year and I am under orders to spend just one week not writing.

So I'm writing a D & D campaign.

wooooooooooooooo

The funniest aspect of a child crime fighter is that sometimes they’re going to run into something that makes no sense because they don’t have the life experience. Because they’re nine.

Like Robin runs into a guy who works for The Penguin and the guy just throws his hands up like, “Don’t hit! I’m not an enforcer. I’m an accountant.”

Robin:

Robin, squaring up: I don’t know what that is.

What’s up late night folks? Here’s an eerie shot I took down a pitch black road in the middle of the night

[istandonsnowpiles]

Extracting from the original tags: this is an 8 minute exposure — it was indeed pitch black

I’m imagining this is what it looks like to elves and others with darkvision.

[naamahdarling]

Oh god the quality of light there is REALLY unsettling. Do Not Want.

[daveruddenwrites]

@greatmountainfloofsquatch is this why elves are always so spooky and distracted and dour?

'Legolas, what do your elf eyes see?'

'I see a Decemberists song plotline coming at us at high speed. RUN.'
