Natalikoromoto has been making the coolest pottery lately; reminds me of Beauty and the Beast! Just wanted to share since I’ve been enjoying and admiring it :) Today I’m working on Unity3D stuff, and tomorrow starting a new exciting job! Sorry about any delays… More announcements later! Until then, go look at more of Natalikoromoto’s rad art and pottery ;)

EMERALD CITY COMICON

I’ll be at ECCC at Booth 1720 — however! I may not be there on Friday during the day, due to some unforeseen parental duties. I will still be on the Stripped panel in the evening though! And I’ll see everyone Saturday and Sunday!

NEW MORNING RUSH

Have you heard Morning Rush with Kris and Mikey? It’s our new fake morning radio show, and the latest episode just dropped — hard — in the morning. This episode is a pretty good one to start with if you’re new to it!

“A writer is someone for
whom writing is more difficult
than it is for other people.”
– Thomas Mann

What are you doing here?

Cleaning.

I can see that,
my question is why?

I have no answer.

You are a princess now.

I know.

Servants can do this.

God, I know!  I know! 
Why do you think I’m here?

Don’t they clean well enough?

They clean most excellently,
giving me very little to do. 
No complaint there.

Then why — ?

I can’t stand the way they look at me.

Ah, jealousy –

No!  Not jealousy.

Contempt?  Show me the ones who –

No!  No contempt…just…they look at me,
and I know they are thinking,
“Why you?  Why you and not me?”

So they are jealous.

No.  Never jealous.  Curious.  Puzzled. 
I’m puzzled, too.  Why me?  Why…me? 
Two questions, when you actually come
to think about it.

I love you.

You are very kind to me,
but do you love me,
or do you love the idea of me? 
You knew nothing about me,
not even the fact I existed,
until that night.

I know you now.

But what do you know of me? 
You know of my cruel stepmother
and stepsisters, but thousands of
other children suffer as I did. 
Why didn’t you go save them?

If you want me to establish a charity –

No.  I mean…yes…please…a charity. 
Anything to pay back a fraction of what we owe.

“Owe”?!?!?  We owe nothing!

Really?  All this opulence,
all this pleasure, all this power
comes from someone, someone
who can ill afford it.

We are their leaders,
their protectors.

Protectors from whom? 
Others who want to collect their taxes? 
We protect them for ourselves.

Do you want to return to their level?

…no…
You have been kind…to me…and generous…to me.
I would be ungracious to not reciprocate.

Then what do you want?

I want to feel innocent again. 
I want to feel guiltless. 
I want to feel good.

And this cleaning,
it will help you?

Yes.

You missed a spot.

“Sir, have you been drinking?”

“No.  What makes you think that?”

“You’re eating a cigar and smoking a Slim Jim.”

“They’re healthier that way.”

“Hmm, point taken.  Have a good evening, sir.”
