Hourly We Roll Along
what if Miraclo wasn’t the source of a pumped up super hero high?
character design
While you weren’t looking, Jessica Jones snuck in a queer happy ending.
Without a great deal of fanfare (thanks to Netflix announcing its cancellation before even giving it an airdate), the last season of Jessica Jones dropped a short bit ago, and like with the previous seasons, I sat down to get myself a heaping helping of cranky Jessica vs her latest full-of-himself nemesis while navigating the …

I Think She’d Be Marvelous
So apparently casting for the upcoming Captain Marvel movie is ramping up. I see the usual suspects suggesting the usual suspects for the title role. And I don’t know that anyone I’m hearing named is a bad choice, mind you, but when I sat down to think about what might make a good Captain Marvel, …
The Title Applies to Everyone
I couldn’t start this post. No, really. I’ve deleted at least a dozen versions of it, because all of them seem pedantic, or back-patting, or entitled. That I’m going to get this horribly, insultingly wrong. This isn’t entirely new. I get semi-regularly stuck on things when they aren’t exactly right. I latch onto something, and …
Woman Problems
It’s been an unfortunate couple days for me as far as the depictions of women in my SFF television consumption. Not all of it surprising, mind. I’m human. I will probably always like problematic things. That doesn’t make it less disappointing. Spoilers for the season finales of Fear the Walking Dead and The Strain, as …
Evil From the Start
I have an on-again, off-again relationship with Once Upon a Time. I don’t always worry if I miss some of it, but I keep coming back because folklore re-working is one of my wonks (Obviously). I’m in a catch-up phase with the show at present, and found myself pleasantly surprised by the recent episode “Sympathy …
Can You Fanart Yourself?
I’m not always inclined to take a crack at my own characters, largely because I hate disappointing myself by coming up with a visual which doesn’t remotely match the character in my head. That said, I’m pretty happy with how Acaja (From “At Her Fingertips,” up in the current issue of Betwixt magazine) turned out, …
Sometimes You Just Need a Steampunk Scotsman
Another RPG character. Had fun playing with a lot of elements just for the heck of it. There isn’t actually a Scotland for him to be from in the setting, but honestly, there aren’t nearly enough RPG characters running around in kilts. Then, because he’s a tinkerer type, and also slightly mad, I wanted to …
Because Turkey Vulture
Will I be getting back to sketchy Wednesdays? No promises. But I built a character for a play by post RPG game t’other day, and he amused me, so I sketched him. He’s a half-orc, who in-game are a mistrusted race because one of their parents looked monstery and everyone knows looking like and being …
Who Drood It?: Drood Looks like a Lady
One of the interesting bits of The Mystery of Edwin Drood in its musical form is the fact the titular characters is always played by a woman. I’m lead to believe part of this is from older theatrical traditions Holmes was pulling from, but I kind of suspect it might also have to do with …
