So I'm going to make a massive mega-thread about this fucking nerd, Lucien Lacroix.
He's a vampire, and one of the central antagonists on the Canadian crime drama show Forever Knight. And he's the world's biggest troll. Let me explain.
🧵#foreverknight #vamily Image So like, Forever Knight was a show about a vampire who solves crimes in his spare time. You know how every show in the 90s was about a X that solves crimes in their spare time? Well this one was about a vampire. No joke. That's the entire concept of the show. Image

So on a not-unrelated note, I want to do a little thread about culture, language, and the Fianna from Werewolf the Apocalypse.
Now, for context, I didn't voice my thoughts during the "Fianna is just a word" conversation some months ago. I kept quiet. But I want to speak now. https://t.co/nqpYWjNe7i
Image For context, I'm of Scots-Irish descent. My mother is from Ulster and so were her parents and ancestors. I'm not one of those "I'm a quarter Irish" types.
I also worked on several World of Darkness releases, namely The Apocalyptic Record for Werewolf, so I know what I'm speaking.

So with Paizo's union making headlines, I really have to say... the TTRPG industry as a whole needs to unionize. The entire gaming and entertainment industry does, but this is the part that I work in. Let me be honest with you here... Thread. (1/?) The majority of the games that you love? They're not made by the people who own them. They're made by employees - writers, editors, developers, artists. Freelancers, like me. But we typically don't own those games. They're owned by corporate managers. (2/?)

Waterstones is trending. I love the shop, so I look to see why...
Turns out it's because a TERF went from store to store asking if they have a copy of her book & being offended they don't.
God, can you imagine being so fragile to go in and be all "Hi, do you have ME in stock?" :D I can literally just imagine, "Hi, I'm a writer, do you have my book in stock? I'm more important than *checks notes* Agatha Christie, but I don't see me on big display. Why don't you build a shrine to me? You must love censorship then! Oh well, off to the next store." :D

So just to be clear to my American readers, this may seem spiteful or even malicious. You might think Thatcher was just a politician and didn't deserve to die in unspeakable agony.
Well, let me give you some context here.

HEY YOU DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING BETTER WITH A SLIDE WHISTLE? Image Oh what the hell, while I'm doing a James Bond kick, here's the song from The Man With The Golden Gun.

no not that one, the rejected one by Alice Cooper
