so this shit ruined my life. /pos

IT'S TIME!!!!! 🌸🌼❄️ #deltarune

"Let's have one more fun adventure, okay?" Deltarune Tomorrow. #Deltarune #DeltaruneTomorrow

forgot my phone at work last night, leading to a "forced" (used loosely, i could have gone back for it) scrolling detox. which is fine, because deltarune chapter 5 comes out in less than four days and i have two files to finish. HOWEVER -

A lot more people need to fuck a lot farther off

As it is Pride Month, I thought people might enjoy a list of the many queer themed talks that Romancing the Gothic has run over the years. Whether you want to explore trans rage in Polish cinema, explore the history of gay Gothic pulp, or lean about lesbian vampires, we've got it all! 1/

Not to BEG, but if you like well-written queer fiction buying my short story gives you some of that AND helps pay for the car my disabled arse needs owlyowls.itch.io/and-the-silv... Just buy it. You probably spent more on amazon prime this month.

My #horror #fantasy debut is 50% off this month because its use of gender and sexuality are more vibes and trying to explain any of them made my homophobic mother glare at me. So, happy #pride to sad monsters? On my store: payhip.com/b/75BJv Or PWYW: dyrewrites.itch.io/weald-and-wen

18 years ago today I wrote the first words of LIFE IN BLACK AND WHITE, which would become, and remains, the book of my heart. We have had such a long and storied journey together, and I can't wait to someday share it with you. 🌙❄️ #writesky

I wish I could be so shamelessly self-indulgent as Dante "I wrote a book where the great Greek philosophers of old think I'm a cool guy and all my enemies are burning in eternal hellfire" Alighieri

end of day writing sprint at a random picnic table while waiting for my roommate to meet up w me for the #tadc finale ✌️✍️

I painted #Tenna to commemorate the anniversary of #Deltarune Chapters 3&4 releasing last year! Even as a writer, it's pretty hard to convey in words what this game/story means to me, so I won't try, (1/3)

in case you were wondering how enote is going... #writesky

Seattle Street Artist’s mural Tribute to Alex Pretti; veteran nurse killed by Border Patrol officers #StreetArt #mural #AlexPretti #tribute

One of the moments writers dream about. Congratulations to my awesome friend!!! 🎉🎉🎉

If you’re wondering what it’s like to be a writer I just out loud said “oh, I know!” immediately followed by “eh, I don’t know.”

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

I'm participating in #roughdraftmonth & will be working on a first draft for my new mystery project enote !😈⚖️ very motivated for this project and happy to support initiatives that replace or improve on the nanowrimo concept, which I participated in almost annually for a decade. #writesky

Night Hunter by Vitali Skvorkin

omg... it's deltajune. #manifesting

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

I saw someone posting about how some readers on TikTok only read dialogue and not description in books, so they can read them faster and I don’t understand this gamification of reading to the point where the number of books read is more important than enjoying and savouring them as works of art.

genuinely where is my bus going rn 😭😂

In the beginning, the BlueSky is a Bubble takes were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one in Sydney was a week. In 4 days, we could be seeing a Bubble take every 8 hours, until they are coming every 4 minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within 7 days.

Pictured in front of my gym just now. Is this modern jock art? A spiritual altar to gains? Both?

Hi! My name is Monica and I am a landscape artist from British Columbia, Canada. This is my art, hope you like it!

e-note might have my most conventionally "marketable" premise yet, but it would also be a nightmare to publish because the protagonist keeps making these highly specific pop culture references

He thinks he's hiding

More people should be able to make the distinction between an actual writing flaw and just not liking it.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The selected artwork is titled "Echoes in Chlorine", a captivating contemporary painting created by the Canadian artist Rebecca Aldernet.

Indie creators shouldn’t have to turn into emotionless cryptids that appear once in a blue moon to share their works and otherwise have no online presence in order to survive *checks notes* creating a popular cartoon. But I don’t know how else they’re supposed to navigate this bullshit.

This! not the only reason I don't read e-books, but it's definitely one of them.

so, updates on this project, referred to for now as "e-note" (which will make sense if/when I release it using its current working title, and otherwise will not):

finally got a status change on one submission after five (5) months! (To be fair, I only submitted this piece to three places.)

🌙 - I hope it reminds them of how seldom we ever get the "whole story" of a situation, and just how radically our understanding might change if we did. Said otherwise, I hope it reminds them not to assume they know everything about something/someone based on a headline (or a 299-character post).

#Hitch today and I will explain nothing, #WIPSnips.

This artwork is titled "Don't Turn Around — They're Still Here" by Ukrainian artist Nataliya Bagatskaya. The painting is an acrylic on canvas work completed in 2025.

I think we need to put the terms "slop" and "one-note" on a very high shelf until people relearn to use them responsibly.

hot take: "just" using it as a search engine and for ✨brainstorming✨ (whatever tf that means) is still artistically bankrupt and weak as hell

"GIVE US YOUR EMAIL TO READ THE FULL STORY." Guess whose story I'm not reading.

i think more people should write things explicitly with the intent of not explaining them to the majority. i think sometimes readers should have to learn and understand on their own. i think we should write more things for our own people and not the masses.
