After FIVE YEARS my second book is AVALIABLE NOW! The Paradox Paradox has been released early on eBook, with the physical copies shipping out in March next year. If you backed it, check your emails! If you didn't, head over to unbound.com/books/paradox and pick yourself up a copy!

I don't know if any of you have seen things about the Unbound/Boundless terribleness--

(tl;dr of the big bit: after the crowdfunding publisher Unbound collapsed and became Boundless, authors are not being paid. which feels like an understatement.)

--but this video by a YouTuber I've watched for a long time has a good summary of the issues he's faced, including not being paid £40k he's owed. he's also been reposting other affected authors' threads about it on Bluesky

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

best friends to lovers is about DEVOTION it's about CODEPENDENCY it's about the intimacy of being known and being seen it's about holding someone so close to your heart you forget where you end and where they begin it's about knowing the worst parts about someone and loving them not only despite but FOR it

Iron Kitty ! This Pokémon resembles a popular toy from the future, it’s able to make various expressions and seems to be loved among children

people are always mad about Steve’s endgame ending cuz he left Bucky. I’m mad about it cuz Steve literally already had visited Peggy, asked her about her life, and was happy for her when she said she lived a good life. Now he selfishly undos the happy life she loved with time travel, THAT is more ooc to me. Plus, it erases Agent Carter from canon. And I fucking love Agent Carter.

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)
