Eleven years after the first public previews hit the ‘net, Joakim Sandberg’s Iconoclasts has a release date.

I am literally quivering with anticipation.

[the-weird-vector]

nothing i like more then finding out about a cool thing right before it comes out, when the fans have waited years :D

i did it with exalted, and now i do it with this, this looks cool as HELL

[prokopetz]

It’s very cool, and it’s also entirely unreasonable that it even exists.

Iconoclasts is basically an answer to the question “how long does it take one guy working in his free time to bang out a AAA-class Metroidvania?”.

All the art. All the music. All the map designs and cutscene animations and UI development. One guy.

Turns out the answer is “just a shade over a decade”.

Who wants a fic illustration?

I need an inspiration boost. Send me an ask with a fic title (and specific scene, if you have one in mind) and I’ll see what I can do. No promises but I’ll cover as many as I can! (Probably kind of slowly!)

Tagging a few people, but no pressure/all are welcome! @alphacygni-8 @allprevailing @ladyvean @tinsnip @savory-breakfasts @jazzypizzaz @autisticandroids

Carmen Goodyear, one of the founders of Country Women magazine, and her wife Laurie York.

“Carmen Goodyear and Laurie York, partners in farm and marriage, have for decades forged an existence removed from consumerism, rooted in communal living, and above all, situated close to nature. This farm and preserve is where they have raised goats, sheep, chickens, and bees; where they have grown a mammoth garden that supplies most of their food; where they have helped wage successful battles against offshore oil drilling, a nuclear power plant, and GMOs; where they have, after many years together, gotten legally married …”

pilferingapples replied to your post “i like dead poets society just fine but the facts are that, should you…”

‘oh yeah ya got trouble! The aesthetic’s a terrible, terrible trouble! Ya know they exploited half the world, and that ain’t cool!“

with a capital t and that rhymes with p and that stands for ‘philosophical, artsy, homoerotic stories about white boys at private boarding schools”

black cats are wonderful because you can stare into the void and not only does the void stare back, sometimes it trots up to you happily and begs for pats

[cheinsaw]

the void is loud and wants chicken

I spent most of my weekend attempting to go through and transcribe more of  Rachel‘s letters.

For those who haven’t been following along, Rachel was a teenage girl who was attending a prestigious boarding school in Boston (and later in Philadelphia) in the 1890s. I bought a bunch of letters written by her (and other family members/friends) at a flea market two summers ago. Most of the letters were written to her cousins Will and Jack, who were right around her age and were at Phillips Academy and later Harvard and Yale.

I’m going to try to get around to photographing the letters soon, but for now here are a just a few of the many, many highlights and interesting tidbits…

• Rachel was almost expelled from Dana Hall in 1895 for… something. She never says exactly what she did. The only thing I’ve managed to discern is that it started with her and her roommate going to the headmistress to jokingly “confess their crimes” after another girl had been expelled for fighting, and ended with two full school faculty meetings and her losing her Hogsmeade Boston privileges until Easter.
• Rachel has an aunt named Isabel S. Smith. As far as I can tell the S also stands for Smith. 
• Will sent Rachel a picture of himself and his roommate Allen. Rachel hung the picture in her room. The other girls in her dormitory saw it and now everyone is in love with Allen.
• Allen refers to himself as Will’s husband. He signs his letters to him “Hubby”. Rachel randomly ran into Allen’s dad somewhere and wrote Will to let him know that his “father-in-law” seems like a lovely man.
• A lucky rabbit’s foot was THE must-have accessory of 1896.
• Trying to make plans by letter and telegraph seems to have been surprisingly similar to trying to make plans by text
  
• For the 1896 Election Rachel’s school had mock elections where each dorm room was an election district, and then they stayed up late waiting for the results which were announced by ringing the electric bell in the tower (6 times for Bryan, 12 for McKinley). None of these girls would be able to actually vote for president for another 24 years.
• In one weekend Rachel saw performances by Emma Calvé, E. H Sothern and Julia Marlowe.
• Her reviews of the performances were as follows:
  
• “Calvé was perfect…She was called back seventeen times and finally sang.”
• “Sothern!!!”
• “Well of course you’ve seen her so there’s no use in my raving.”
• Rachel heard Calvé sing this in person.
  
• Using multiple exclamation points is not a new thing
  
• Will has a crush on Julia Marlowe
