I strived for perfection.
But I glanced at the work of someone next door.
I loved what I saw.

Hey I did a thing and remembered!
Okay, so, here we stand at the first Artificer subclass that I did. This one is all about becoming a cyborg.
This was a fun one to build, and I absolutely had John Silver in mind while I wrote it, as well as some other cyborg/android inspirations, like Android 16 and Mercy Graves.
I also threw in a few Artificer infusions that I felt were fitting for the subclass.
As usual, the homebrewery link to this subclass can be found here and I welcome any feedback, especially if you play it!
Stay fresh, cheesebags!

longtime dc fan and i think a lot of people are angry because alex is obviously one of the most culturally relevant instances of misogyny in media. that being said being more culturally relevant doesn’t mean it’s the worst instance of misogyny and i think bumble definitely experiences more profound misogyny in the way the actual content is presented, if that makes sense
I get you, and that's a charitable way of looking at it.
I think what's rustling my jimmies is that like, there was a couple of WC fans being mildly dismissive of Alex in that note minefield, after dozens of comments of "fuck you how could you let the fridge woman lose" and "Bumble didn't deserve to win ANY rounds" and "how could A CAT experience misogyny." But then WE get blamed for the toxicity because THEY were butthurt that the Funny Cat People have the 'audacity' to win something they feel entitled to.
Like, we've gotta be endlessly charitable as we get openly insulted because they're upset about Alex losing, a very well-known and culturally relevant character with a legacy so massive we have a whole term named after her. But condemnations of "She's just a cat, letting WC into this poll was a mistake, Bumble can't even be a victim of misogyny" only started coming around once I started talking about it.
as if it's OUR fault people got passive-aggressive or even OPENLY aggressive towards us, and that we're "just as bad" for retaliating
But like you said, it's not a "Most Culturally Relevant Misogyny" tournament, it's a "Canon Misogyny Victims" tournament. And you're not even supposed to give a shit that Bumble died. The fat, woman abuse victim is beaten to death by a dictator, and your takeaway is meant to be, "It's so sad that Clear Sky is being blamed for murdering her, now they're all preparing for self-defense against a homicidal maniac, oh nooo :("
And I think that DOES make her deserve the win here! Alex is a MARTYR. Everyone with a brain agrees what happens to her is bad. It happened in her canon because it was bad. We talk about her and keep her memory alive. Bumble gets dismissed entirely out of hand because she's "just a cat in a kid's book" as if that doesn't make it worse, and as if the kid's book didn't treat a domestic abuse survivor like a moron for even asking for help.
Anyway, just to reiterate, I love DC fans. It's not all of you guys. Alex was done dirty and deserves justice-- and it's even kind of a shame that all she became is "The Fridge Woman." I haven't even heard people talk about how she was a wary, responsible person who was still ready to rock with Kyle's new weird glowstick powers, or that she was a journalist, or that she just got brought back in another edition as a Green Lantern only to be revealed as an illusion and re-absorbed back into Kyle's mind. Nope. Even her fans just remember her as The Fridge Woman.

A new robot comic :)
Translation: Following the stars
Translation: Archive_stars.mp4
A comic I did for a school assignment. Two little robot friends go on an adventure, and the first one of them gets injured. The second one plays memories of them looking at the stars, wishing that the digital star could still help him heal his friend.
My main goal was to exercise my emotional storytelling and background drawing.
Graphite on A3 paper.

The Network Defenders have long been a subtle protective influence over the realm of dreams and data. Now, half the Network Defenders have gone missing.

A Fool's Errand - The Game
The series utilizes the custom game system and setting, A Fool's Errand, set to crowdfund in late 2024. In A Fool’s Errand, players draw from a deck of tarot cards to resolve challenges and use specialized abilities. All the while, their characters perform that most delicate of tasks: fulfilling or denying the destiny foisted upon them by the Major Arcana— deities of this world who intertwine themselves with the characters’ adventures.
Episode 2 premieres July 9th, and the finale on July 23rd!
Three Fools walk into a cabin, then break into a labyrinthine dance of devotion, intimacy, loss, and revenge.
Stay tuned, or flick through the channels. The Network Defenders will find you either way.

I will never ever use the name of the 45th occupant of the White House + the word “president” in the same sentence, I won’t ever call Twitter “X,” and you literally could not pay me enough money to make me give a single fuck about the (non)problem that is green bubble vs. blue bubble / android vs. iPhone.
