Bigotry and Pigotry on Parade


LOOK AT THE FIRST AND LAST STORIES IN MY GOOGLE NEWS FEED.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM, PEOPLE.

THE DUCK DYNASTY FAMILY IS RICH, POWERFUL, CONNECTED, AND SAFE.  THEIR ABILITY TO LIVE AND BELIEVE AS THEY CHOOSE IS IN NO JEOPARDY.  I’M SO VERY SORRY THAT THEY’RE HAVING TO LEAN ON THEIR FAITH DURING THESE “TOUGH TIMES.”

MEANWHILE, GAYS CAN BE IMPRISONED OR WORSE, JUST FOR BEING GAY, IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD.

GIVING A MEGAPHONE TO A HOMOPHOBE EMBOLDENS HOMOPHOBES EVERYWHERE.  IT ISN’T “JUST AN OPINION.”  PEOPLE ARE HURT.  PEOPLE DIE.  CALL OUT BIGOTRY WHEREVER YOU SEE IT.  WE ARE WINNING THE WAR, BUT WE CAN’T STOP NOW.  FIGHT ON!

Final Fantasy VI, the After Years?

Gentle Reader,

So, I've been away for about a week and it's good to be back!

I'm considering doing a web comic that is essentially a sequel to Final Fantasy VI.  It would consist of "screen shots" that look just like scenes from the game itself, right down to the dialogue box, telling the story of what has become of the characters seven years after Kefka's defeat.  All of the major characters from VI would appear, though I am imagining a "main party" of six characters.  There would be a new villain, of course.  I'd also include some supplementary material explaining what abilities the characters have, listing some of their equipment options, etc. in order to maximize the game feel of it.

The idea is still in development but I thought I would share a map mock-up I did a while back showing the rebuilt Imperial Palace.  I took the original palace balcony map, changed the tileset to the Figaro/Doma one, and then tweaked the map as necessary.  If you're wondering, the new state that replaces the old Empire would not be the villain, that's too easy.  The new imperial state would actually be ruled by a friendly character with the villain coming from a totally different direction.

We'll see how it goes!  In the meantime, here's the little teaser.


Ever Yours,

Sigh

Just once in my life I'd like to go to an event where the men wear white gloves and the women wear ball gowns.
