Been enjoying using Tumblr post chains as a basis for my comics, so enjoy Myron conversing with her new husband about what he should expect from her in their polycule
Finally!! New York Times article on the Neil Gaiman sexual assault allegations. With a new interview (at the end) with one of the women who spoke to Tortoise media, Claire. This is a link which somebody had paid for so hoping it works for all. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/b...
The British author of dozens of literary works has denied the allegations that five women made against him on a podcast series.
I did say that if I saw this post on my feed again I'd post it so have this horrible half-elf who sees people as commodities that give her information asking this very sincerely (to her best friend, now adoptive brother probably)

Pretty obvious shoutout to Lee Jooyoung being her base because I wanted her beautifully androgynous but also someone who was clearly Cute and Charming :) The Red Wizards of Thay concept is forever baked into her conception - the capricous and antisocial nature of her dragon form came later
