did i ever do an #introduction post? if i did, it was when i wasn't really actively using Mastodon, SO!
hi, i'm luka! i stream and occasionally make videos! my most popular video is one where i explore and discuss the history of #trans representation in #games media! https://youtu.be/ZQ46wR0BjoE
i also recently started a show called Unfiction Infodump on my Twitch channel where i summarize and infodump about various #unfiction projects and started with a multi-part series investigation of the 2010 Slender Man focused ARG EverymanHYBRID! https://youtu.be/obiyA2JA_5w
and i also just... u know, #stream video games on Twitch! we're currently playing Parasite Eve, .hack//MUTATION, and Deep Rock Galactic over there! https://twitch.tv/bimbocatfood
i'm also an amateur video editor that mostly makes my own assets for my streams, but i am always open to taking #videoediting commissions! :3
I've been silent on here for a while, and this is because I had the opportunity to finally visit friends and family in the US for the first time in years. Now I'm back in Norway and excited to get working on Chapter Three of Goodbye Susto in full force again!
In the meantime, Patreon supporters get a preview of an upcoming illustration by Ukrainian artist Kate Dorokhova! Feel like supporting my/our work? Patreon is one way to do it:
My apologies for not being more active over here on Mastodon. I'm both in the final stages of writing my dissertation and still making content, so please forgive my silence.
This is just to share that I wrote a public-facing blog on Patreon about the enormous amount of effort + time the next chapter of Goodbye Susto/Under the Surface/Axel Lundén is taking, if you were curious about where it stands. You don't have to be a Patreon supporter to read this, but it helps (me produce the project)!

Reminder that the new story cycle of Under the Surface, Goodbye Susto, dropped just before Christmas. The first (season?) is still there too, so there's plenty to dive into. Since a lot of folks were busy at the time, I thought it was worth throwing it out there again:

The Ballad of Thistle McKelly is a story. It is also art. And a mixtape? I know, I know, weird. Thistle’s unconventional tale will be told in an unconventional way. Through a series of one-sheet flyers, we’ll follow the green, intersex gunslinger through her entire eventful life. I hope you’ll all join me for a ballad that’s been in the making for more than 15 years!
