RE: https://mas.to/@zzt/116425701751208900

I agree with this whole heartedly. Though I'm in the creative arts (music and writing), at one point I was a computer toucher. I even went to university to study IT with a focus on forensics and cyber crime. But looking back, I could never get out of my creative mindset. And that really did drag me down (at least in school).

please, computer touchers, sneak into art school and befriend even a single artist

art and the process that goes into making it isn’t at all like what you think it is

if you think art can’t serve a function or that it doesn’t take a fuckton of planning and work, you’ll be fucking shocked by what you’ll learn working alongside artists

what you learn will make you a better person

Finnish government: "There is no reason for worry!"
Also Finnish government: Spends millions to war defence, puts up "what to do if you see a drone" infromation up to everyone, and brushes over that there has been 4 drones now on Finland's soil...
Me: Yeah, yup. Uh-huh... (^_^)*
...how about that comic book I am working on?

Hi fedi folk - It’s lovely to be here! I just moved from mastodon.social to sunny.garden and think it’s time for an #introduction.

I’m Bearina, 30-something from Mannheim, Germany. I make #zines, #ArtistTradingCards and have become a #printmaker recently. I also got back into #photography a few days ago which was my first hobby. I got my first point and shoot camera when I was 12 and fell in love with it before that, using my parents camera and strolling through the neighborhood. I like seeing creativity around me and love to get inspired by other artists.

#SciFi is my jam and I love movies in general. And bears! Lovely creatures.

#DeGoogling right now! Also I’m working on relaunching my website and make it more #IndieWeb friendly and #accessible but also give it a bit more personality. I want to start a blog and share my thoughts. Which reminds me: Words are hard! I try my best but not always succeed.

I’m so excited to meet new people! I toot in German and English.

#WritersCoffeeClub 21/4: What's a (maybe silly) hill you're willing to defend?
Nothing silly about opposing the industrialised plagiarism and degradation of creativity that is AI.
But also… I often find myself shaking my head at ‘writing advice’ that people trot out. One the other day that I particularly recoiled from was ‘know your elevator pitch before you start writing’. I can barely stomach the concept of the elevator pitch after the book is done.

The cover shows the four heads of the Underworld; Hades, Loki, Anubis and Umbra. While Hades, Loki and Anubis are well known, finding information was proving more difficult. So it put me at a crossroad. Do I lean into Umbra being relatively unknown and make her operate behind the scenes or do I try to infer how she would act and operate based on available information and other instances of witches. That's why I just end up kicking working on book 2 down the road.

So whoever she sides with would have one of the conditions for two of the gates fulfilled as well as the powers (albeit dormant at the moment) of two gods. And these are not just two ordinary gods. These are two gods that stand at the pinnacle of their respective sides. So yeah, she's definitely a problem for whoever gets on her bad side.

Now that brings me to my issue. If you've seen the cover for Awakening, you already know the four Underworld gods. Though here's a quick look if you haven't.

So for the gate to open, three things need to happen:

1. The Skyworld god or their descendant be in front of it

2. The Underworld god or their descendant be in front of it

3. The horseman guarding it be defeated and acknowledge the person who has defeated them.

The reason why Roxanne is concerning is because she herself can unlock two gates; Hades and her mother's (not sure if I mentioned it in Awakening).

So the concept and title for book two in the Divine Wars series has actually been decided for a while now. Titled Gates of the Apocalypse, it was supposed to go more into the lore of why Roxanne was such a terrifying presence to the Skyworld gods and the dragons. And the gates that kept "Earth" from being overrun was kept in check by three beings; an Underworld god, a Skyworld god and a horseman of the apocalypse.
