In the past, I did a lot of research on US WWII submarines. One thing of particular interest to me was the procedures for keeping the air breathable during submersion, which was later used in the Apollo program. US subs were not equipped with snorkels in WWII, so they were entirely battery powered when under. […]

What do YOU want to see?
I’ve been in a loop over the character pages a bit. The first two are up, for Vershaft and Aikine, but they were the easier ones. Many of my chars have multiple canons, or such. I was thinking of doing a ‘base page’ with the explanation of the character, subpages for things like art galleries […]
Characters page started!
Got my first character bio page up. More art to add to it, but now that I’ve got one done, I can start with others.
Explanation of Realm Borders and brief overview of Realmfall timeline
MTT3 asked a bit about Three Pantheons setting and by the time I was done responding I decided to put it in a full post! “So, were these geographic places entirely replaced with something else? What happened to the humans living there?” The realms are more a metaphysical changing of how the rules work inside […]
Artwork Presentation, and the Plagiarism Machine
I have tried my hand at art a few times. Never really got good at it. Keeping focus on that was just…not where I could find fun. I was always more into building the stories! And then once I got into consistent RP, well, that was kinda that. That was more fun! Fortunately, there’s plenty […]
Character reference documents/galleries
So I’ve had a number of instances where my characters have had anatomical quirks develop in the various art I’ve gotten them in. Part of this is related to using the same characters in different canons (and thus different things happening) and not being rigid enough or communicating properly, but sometimes it’s more significant than […]

Raise the damn minimum wage
On July 25th, 2009, the minimum wage was raised to $7.25 an hour. I was at a tour guide job. I’d started at state minimum wage in 2007 of $6.50. One thing I’d do sometimes for meals at that job was walk down to the local Subway and get a Five Dollar Footlong. This would […]

CW: discussion of animal cruelty and abuse in a historical context
Rip and tear?
Let’s talk about anthropomorphic animal combat. Societies tend to place a pretty strong emphasis on preventing people from murdering each other, or doing other things that strike at the very social cohesion that keeps a city working. We have, of course, created lots of ways to bypass this as a species, and just as many […]
