Guys, I am not coping 🫠 I just read the new lore tab for Saint and Osiris. I’m gonna curl up in a ball now and cry. Saint’s such a sweetheart…

It’s this one, if anyone wants to read it.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Destiny (Video Games) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Osiris/Saint-14 (Destiny) Characters: Osiris (Destiny), Saint-14 (Destiny), Sagira | Osiris's Ghost (Destiny), Guardian (Destiny) Additional Tags: Fluff and Angst, Flashbacks, Hurt/Comfort Series: Part 1 of Rising From The Ashes... Summary:

Saint could feel them on the tip of his tongue. Empty promises, hollow platitudes and false reassurances that would fall short of his attempt to console his beloved. How could he be positive that this was the best way forward when Osiris’ fears echoed in his own mind?

“I… do not know.”

I have this running headcanon that Warlocks secretly know how to forage for certain plants and fungi to achieve varying levels of ‘relaxation’. Like you want a head high, with no munchies? Here you go. You want one that can knock you out in seconds? There it is. You want to have the weirdest trip of your life? Good luck and microdose.

But, they don’t distribute it, because they realise that if Hunters catch wind of it, everything is gonna go into the scrapper. So it’s almost like a Class secret; aside from the number of Titans that are in a relationship with their beloved Warlocks (*ahem* Saint), who don’t often partake but appreciate seeing their workaholic partners taking a rare moment to relax.

..::Update::.. Bull Dog Blues.

13 years ago, I posted a story about how I recorded Fred McDowell in 1971, singing to Tom Pomposello's guitar accompaniment. And how, 25 years later, Tom and David Baron used one of those tracks to make –sacrilege!– a contemporary dance track. I updated it earlier this year to say that later this year we're going to release a limited edition 12", while adding a 2026 remix (here's my Substack post about it).

I also posted the sample covers, both generated, and then worked on by me, by AI. Then the shit hit the fan. At least, on Instagram.

–––Let me cut to the chase: I'm not using those covers, and my old friend and colleague, Carlos Ramos, has been commissioned. See the early sample above.–––

Substackers and LinkedIn-ers loved it, love the covers too. But, at IG, where most of my followers are fans of my cartoon career, people went nuts. Many artists, of any age, have a lot of issues with AI. Understandable, in many ways. There are a lot of things questionable about generated AI images, namely what have the models trained on.

I get it. I have a different point of view, I figure it's here, we better get used to it, like all new tech. I think the issues eventually get worked out; whether we like the work out or not, the new tech is always here to stay.

That said, I love those IG followers I have. They're the ones who have love my shows, they're the one that have made them the icons that they are. So, I have no interest in upsetting them, no matter my personal POV.

So, like I said below, I've commissioned a fantastic artist help design new covers. (Not for nothing, with the exact same "prompts" I gave to AI.) He's already doing a great job.

I'll let you all know when the LP is released and where to get it.
