@bookstodon My #review of Stars of Chaos (Sha Po Lang) Vol. 2 by priest is now live! This volume builds on both the relationship of the leads and the worldbuilding as a whole, making for a VERY entertaining read.
Eustache et Mouche sont des cambrioleurs pas banals, à la technique extrêmement sophistiquée. Sur les lieux de leurs forfaits, ils laissent une carte en forme de papillon. Un Bombyce. Ce jour-là, ils s'introduisent par les toits chez le baron Guillaume Bernard de Harcourd.
J'ai adoré le dessin, l'univers steampunk de Bordeaux qui déploie des couleurs plutot orangés et généreuses. Les personnyages sont découpés de manière franche, caricaturale.
Reste le scényario qui nous tient en haleine et que je n'ai pas aimé car il termine mal, c'est une tragédie. Une affreuse histoire bien racontée, rythmée mais horrible à tel point que je n'y ais plus retouché.
@bookstodon My #review of Stars of Chaos/Sha Po Lang Vol. 1 by priest has gone live! Enjoyed this more than MDZS, I have to say, mostly because of the worldbuilding and the plot.
Ep. 41 of Magical Renegades Anathema to Commonsense has been published! A few characters re-appear that haven’t in several episodes, and the confrontation between the Magical Renegades and Legionnaire Princess continues…
The production notes for this episode will be coming soon and will cover a lot!
These #steampunk-looking 3D printed glasses that let you adjust light levels by rotating polarized lenses are so absolutely simple and awesome looking, I'm not sure why they aren't commonly available, even if you don't need them as an #AssistiveDevice because you are going #blind.
My favorite #boots: jika tabi popular with construction workers in #Japan that I modified with tanker boot straps and rechargeable LED lights on the heels. Keeps me visible walking or biking around traffic.
I made an orange version of my "mag boot" lights inspired by #TheExpanse for visibility when walking around traffic. Might also be useful when on a bike. Thoughts?
Made these "mag boot" lights (red version with arrow pattern) inspired by #TheExpanse to keep me visible when walking around traffic. Could also work for when on a bicycle/motorcycle/scooter. What do you think?
Legionnaire Princess reports she found three of the Renegades and they’re snarking about something during this time? Is this really the best idea?
This WIP also features a concept sketch of Monica’s redesigned outfit for when she’ll appear; it’s been a long time since she appeared in the webtoon. Her last appearance was ep. 15 😭
I'm confident that this device, if it exists at all, is a modern sculpture. But the image has been circulating for more than twenty years, so the notion appeals to somebody. Behold, the steam-powered sex machine!
"Casts the reader into a fantasy world of flying vessels, war, hidden identities, secret agendas, repressed societies, and awakenings... His enchanting story captivates you with a journey of discovery."
I loved #JulesVerne's expeditionary contraption stories as a kid, including the gripping #steampunk adventure that is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I still have a fond spot for the 1954 #Disney film of the same name, although I now acknowledge how terribly racist these #imperialist#exploitation fantasies of Western Europe and America are. But some parts still inspire. With deeper understanding we may still take something good from that, like #LovecraftCountry did. #SciFi#racism
