Three Kinds of Magic Novels
In my experience, there are three different kinds of magic fantasy novels:
The Cool Anthony Chronicles
From a series of Bluesky posts:
I guess I’ll go ahead and create a new beloved media franchise as a replacement for Harry Potter. It’s going to be called The Cool Anthony Chronicles and once I’m rich I’m going to become extremely terrible
Thinking about going cowboy-themed
I want to assure everyone that I will be retaining the simple British charm that made the series I will be replacing so popular.
Figured out the titles for all the books. Now thinking about casting for movies and TV spinoffs and where the theme park should go. Will start writing books later. Publishers hit me up
I've also been into murder mysteries lately, so maybe I'll mix that in too. I think the world is ready for a young-adult British Cowboy Murder Mystery series. There will probably also be wizards but ONLY because I ALREADY liked them
Warioctober 2023
A collection of daily Warios posted on Bluesky/Instagram in October of 2023.

I regret to inform you that today is the beginning of #Warioctober, where everyone, be they just or wicked, must honor the terrible creature Wario. Here is Classic Wario. May we be forgiven for what we must do.

Was it a dream? No, rather a vile nightmare made all too real. #Warioctober cannot be escaped, only endured. Here is Horse Wario. Sorry if you barfed.

There's no easy way to say it: this is Car Wario*. It is what it is, and right now it is Car Wario.
*not “Cario.” Cario is Car Mario.
10/4/2023
This is the hateful man Jar Wario*. Do not pity him; this is the consequence of his own evil deeds. Take care not to end up like Jar Wario.
*”Jario”

Already more beast than man, it takes little for Wario to give in to his nature and become a slavering creature of pure instinct. This is Wild Beast Wario. If you encounter him, do not run; it's already too late.

Look out! It's JPEG Compression Algorithm Wario. He's compressed himself to be so tiny, he can easily slip into your phone, your computer… your mind. He may already be inside you. Wehhh heh heh.

Hello from Wario (Legs Mode). Kind of cute, right? Not very threatening, right? Wrong. Wario (Legs Mode) is extremely fast and he never gets tired.

Wario... the beast, the defiler. The picture of depravity. His very name is like ashes on my tongue. Curse his being, a thousand times over. Here is Kramer Wario.

You're only kidding yourself if you thought we'd get through #warioctober without seeing Peanut Butter Wario. But you know what? This guy's all right. I kind of like Peanut Butter Wario, despite his Problems.
10/10/2023
Sorry. This is Mind Virus Wario and by viewing it you have become a sleeper Wario, lying in wait until you hear the activation word (“Wario”). I didn't want to do this but I had no choice.
10/11/2023
Troubling news, friends: Wario is missing. See here his bed, empty and cold. He could be anywhere by now. Stay vigilant, and stay safe.
10/12/2023
We've received reports of a possible Wario sighting. It's possible this is a hoax; more information as the situation develops.
10/13/2023
Your eyes deceive you. This is not Wario; this is Impostor Wario, a sick and twisted distortion of the original. See how he frolicks and cavorts! At times even gamboling! Our Wario is indeed sickening, but better the devil we know.
10/14/2023
I don't know what this is. Honestly, it could be anything. Sorry I don't have anything to post for #warioctober today. I've let you all down and I've let myself down.
10/15/2023
It's Wario! Wario's back! And he brought hot dogs for everyone, and they're very wet! Wario brought wet hot dogs for everyone! It's a #warioctober miracle(?)
10/16/2023
This is Helicopter Legs Wario. Be thankful this is a still image and not a video; the sound is grotesque.
10/17/2023
Wow! It's Breakdancing Wario. He brought his own cardboard and everything. This is a good omen. Today will be a good day.
10/18/2023
Here's Egg Wario.
10/19/2023
Wow! Egg Wario was so popular. Everyone must have liked him. You know what, here's Egg Wario again!
10/20/2023
It always was, and continues to be, Egg Wario.
10/21/2023
Throughout history, every culture has independently developed its own myth of “the Wario.” And yet, skeptics still doubt that there is even a seed of real truth in these tales. Here is Magical Girl Gorgeous Wario. Have a good weekend!
10/22/2023
No matter how you slice it, this is Baloney Wario. Don't you ever wonder what baloney is made of? Do you ever wonder what Wario is made of?
10/23/2023
This is Warium Siderum, or “Stars Wario*”. Do you ever look up into the vast universe at night and feel afraid? You should.
*not “Stario;” Stario refers to Stars Mario or Starfish Wario.
10/24/2023
I drew this Wario with my left hand, but guess what? I'm not actually left-handed. Pretty good, right? Pretty impressive, right? #Warioctober is almost over and I'm nearly free from this wretched curse.
10/25/2023
Cringe news, fam: there are three Warios now. The big one is the leader but they all want to fight. Stay safe out there.
10/26/2023
Here is Wario Springing Fully-Formed from the Head of His Father Zeus. This gives him dominion over the areas of intellect and wisdom. Typical Wario stuff that everyone already knows about, yet here we are.
10/27/2023
This is an alternate-universe Wario called “Bone Eater the Clown.” He's the same as Wario except his name is “Bone Eater the Clown” instead of “Wario,” and he's a clown who eats bones. Watch your bones, folks!
10/29/2023
Some kind of Go-Kart Wario. Just another fabrication of my dark and twisted mind.
10/30/2023
Here's Wiggler. He's not technically Wario but I figured we could all use a little break by now, yeah? So here's Wiggler.
10/31/2023
Well, friends. It's the big spooky holiday at the end of the big spooky month, so what better way to end #warioctober than with Holiday Wario! Here he comes with onions for everyone. May we never see Warioctober ever again.
11/01/2023
What the… no! Get out of here! #warioctober is over! Leave us, you ghoul!!
Here Comes Halloween
Sorry for scaring you like that!
