As mentioned before, I left Twitter and deleted every image I ever uploaded to Twitter (including my avatar, which is now an egg) due to the new policy regarding all tweets being used for AI training starting November 15th, 2024 whether we like it or not.
That's today!
As Artist Bluesky rises from the ashes of Artist Twitter like a phoenix burned in the trash fire of Elon Musk's ego, I'll share the longest tweet thread that I ever made.
It's all about my favorite cartoon that I just made up. The title of that cartoon escapes me, though.
I seem to have already deleted some before I started taking screenshots, but I found one more.
So, there you have it!
This is basically a HUGE content brainstorming session, so of course I had to delete it all off the dead bird site.
Just a reminder, these are not writing prompts. I consider them to be short stories. If I ever want to expand any of these into longer stories, maybe I'll turn a few of these into a comic some day.
Maybe I already did turn one of them into a comic! ;)
“This isn’t about what is,” said Mr. Nancy.
“It’s about what people think is. It’s all imaginary anyway. That’s why it’s important. People only fight over imaginary things.”
Okay so, i do have a special interest, which I have not indulged enough mostly because said interest seems to freak people out. The interest can be split into: a) mythological, legendary creatures from medieval bestiaries or early natural philosophers like Pliny. b) actual animals given strange traits by same. c) unreal places from medieval travelers tales AND real places given unlikely demographics and traits. d) fairies elves and super natural creatures. NOT cryptids or aliens though.
In related news it always surprised me that the old dungeons and dragons monster manual had the catoblepas but not the bonnacon, which frankly was the more dangerous animal.
Yes, the catoblepas could THEORETICALLY turn you to stone with its gaze. Note the theoretically. A catoblepas has a lot of thick hair on its head, completely covering its eyes. In addition, its neck is too weak to lift its head. It's not physically capable of turning you to stone.
Bonnacon are a lot more dangerous. Its a big bovine looking creature whose horns curve toward each other in a useless was. This is fine because it defends itself with projectile, burning diarrhea. To make it even more plain: Ferdinand shits napalm.
This is a round about way of saying i put a bunch of supernatural animal books and medieval wth books on my book list

As part of their imminent fall season, the Mayweather Gold Theater is proud to present a dramatic production with lavish musical interludes based on the legend of the cursed Robespierre family.
Chrétien Robespierre, grandson of infamous reformed pirate Colette Robespierre, arrives at the sleepy small town of La Chuparrosa with ambition in his eyes and determination on his brow. Under his guiding hand and entrepreneurial spirit, a burgeoning mining industry starts to form and an exuberant Chrétien builds himself an extravagant Churrigueresque villa. Tragedy strikes when the mine workers find themselves plagued by mysterious accidents and strange unexplained forces intent on doing them harm. Tongues start wagging about ghostly interference, but Chrétien is certain the mine’s ills have a more earthly cause: local town witch Tiburcia Cortina.

The Afterlife of Robespierre!
The president of Mayweather Studios, Inc. today announced that production would begin on a new moving picture based on Marguerite Montague’s novel The Hotel by the Ocean. The new film is anticipated to be the studio’s most expensive yet, with an estimated cost of $260,000.
Ocean is a retelling of the tragedy of Lottie Robespierre, descendant of pirate queen “Shuddersome” Robespierre, and the fall and subsequent haunting of her luxury resort, the Chateau Miramar. Silver screen siren Billie Allen will play Lottie’s willful daughter Clarissa. Broodingly handsome newcomer Kenji Maitland has been cast as Clarissa’s mysterious lover, the seductive Reynard Dantès. The vengeful Lottie will be played by acclaimed stage and screen actress Eleanor Chadwick.
The film - title pending - is expected to premiere next spring.
This isn't about what is. It's about what people *think* is. It's all imaginary anyway. That's why it's important. People only fight over imaginary things.
