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

Like honestly, I have thoughts where this whole thing comes from. Let me explain.
I feel super bad for kids today, because there's so few fandoms they can truly enjoy for their own, without gross politically-obsessed adults making it unsafe for them. I think I know why. I think a lot of it's to do with the Expanded Universe, or at least started there. Y'see, when the Star Wars franchise started making novels in the 90s, they didn't aim them at kid audiences; they were aimed at people who saw the movies when THEY were kids. 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
