Warthog Reporter

@warthogreporter

Official tumblr of the Warthog Report, a substack publication for one writer's fiction and non-fiction.

Welcome. I'm the author of The Warthog Report, a free substack publication. While primarily made for my fiction, I also do regular non-fiction posts. My main trinity of subjects are fantasy, video games, and mythology.

My current serialized story, Battles Beneath the Stars, follows an international tournament in a fantasy world where the fates of fourteen fighters collide. It's written as a walkthrough and script for the platform fighter I dream of making, where each of the main fourteen fighters has their own story.

If any of the above interests you, you can subscribe here.

My Tumblr Policies

I'd love to receive asks about my writing and also weird random asks, but there are subjects, mainly current day politics, I prefer not to discuss online. So asks about those subjects will not be answered.

Looking at all the random racers in the new Mario Kart I am so happy they finally let someone who can cook back into the roster selection process. 8 Booster Pass was a good sign but I needed this to be sure.

I've decided to do something very foolish this april fools, and I will be setting a drawing challenge for myself where I draw my oc every day for the whole month

Aegispril if you will

Here's a very hasty drawing of her to start things off

tumblr is funny because sometimes posting is like releasing an object into still, murky waters, watching it sink and sink and sink and knowing you will be gone from the earth before it's ever seen again. And then sometimes it surfaces itself a week later, downstream and in the middle of the public port, and you have to watch with horror as someone fishes it out and starts passing it around to their companions. And you know that you will never, ever be free of it

Nowhere else do you get that experience. Modern social media is really missing that je ne sais quois

Here are your monthly recommendations for April, as always delivered on the first of the month with utmost seriousness.

Do not play my friend's series of free RPG Maker games about Orphism starting with Destiny of Dionysus.

Do not play Merfight a cool fighting game about merpeople that has a free demo you could try.

Do not play Schwarzerblitz a 3D fighting game that is outright free and focused on story mode.

Do not read What Manner of Man a queer gothic novel about a priest and a vampire.

There are not assassins in your walls who will kill you for not engaging with any of the above.

Okay, here are some ideas for funny What Manner of Man posts for April Fools' Day:

-Make a joke that turns Father Ardelian not observing the romantic relationship between Danny and Silvia into a literal inability to perceive lesbians, making them invisible to him.

-Imply that Father Ardelian is a lesser being who does not deserve human rights.

-Delve into a passage from What Manner of Man and highlight specific letters to make funny words of your choosing.

-Question people on what they think the symbolism of the color yellow in What Manner of Man is as a reference to that one time St John Starling complained about that being a discussion question in the back of the book for The King In Yellow.

-Phrase a post in a way that implies it is a copy and pasted AI response, thus creating the fear that you fed not only the novel but also the tumblr posts about it into an AI for cheap social media content.

Guy About to Upload the First Instance of Every Classic Book to the List Challenges Website: nothing less than the single most cheap, tacky, from-2009-looking cover that has ever graced an edition of this work will do
