The gremlin urge to have two bagels for breakfast instead of one…

Hey, if you cant make it, for whatever reason, don’t forget that all of our books are available on Amazon and signed copies can be ordered through our etsy ❤️📚🌈

Wifey has a book event this weekend. Come join us, if you’re up for it.

This latest episode on Romantasy on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social is absolutely fascinating. But is also makes me want a sequel where the hosts look into danmei and its current boom and how it compares and contrasts. I wonder if it’s serving some sort of similar function for queer readers. 🧐

Hey guess what? My newest book is now up for sale! The Kickstarter orders all get shipped next week so I can finally share the links! Signed copies of my fantasy romance novella are on my Etsy. Or you can order through Amazon and the ebook will be out next week! Join me for a little magic?

It’s Monday and perhaps time to look at the reboot of an old favorite… My review for Ranma 1/2 (2024) is up! wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/01/ramn...

Listen. Shoujo is the only thing keeping me sane right now.

Listen. If you see me posting about a lot of fan stuff, it’s because that’s what’s getting me through this hellscape. It’s what’s keeping me sane right now. Seriously. Brought to you by the fact that I’m now spending all day geeking about how this Masters of the Universe film looks.

The latest season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is over and it was so good! This second season is a prime example of why new series need to be given time to work out their mistakes and learn. The first season was good but suffered from too much expositional dialog and was very rushed. 🧵

Also totally forgot to say that I got myself a reading journal for my birthday and it’s kinda fun to hand write my thoughts down, even if they don’t all become reviews. I kinda have a goal to run out of the spaces the give me 😅😅

Hunted down this manga because I’d heard that Edge of Tomorrow was based on it and I liked that movie a lot. The manga is great with a wildly different ending and twist. No review on my blog this time, cuz there’s no queer characters, but this is a really good story. Now I need the light novel.

While muses are away, it’s time to catch up on all my reading….

A very cute and insightful book. Review incoming… #dotson #books

1/? More or less Personal Me: so Minneapolis/St. Paul and environs are taking a huge hit on many levels from the 🧊 invasion and occupation. Please check out our many small businesses, if you can! So many places are closing or at reduced hours to protect staff! Here’s a few local bizes out here:

Braised Chicken Thighs, the fist recipe I’ve made in my new Dutch oven. Turned out amazing!

Happy One Year Gotcha Day to Fidelio Seeker, our little head tilty baby (Then and now)

Maybe steer away from this remake? My review for the 2025 The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is up wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-...

#Booksky Not unrelated, if we sell 11 copies of THE COMPLETE ASTREIANT from our webstore or 20 of our other titles, I can actually pay myself this month, which would be super handy right now. We invest in our local communities! #Minneapolis #smallbiz queenofswordspress.com/product/comp...

The absolute urge to reset my entire island in ACNH so that I can recreate the world of #gachiakuta

Still my absolute favorite skirt! You should get one too!

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Today is hard. That’s all.

+617 words of story +500 words of a plot plan and a new clear direction to go (Cuz I had to delete two characters)

Dreamland or 23am by Robert Miles or anything by Enigma. I already listen to these on repeat while I’m writing.

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

RT with your home river Purgatory Creek park was a place I spent a lot of my teen years. I’d bike there and climb a tree to read or just wander around where I could be alone and not see any people for hours.

Another bug down! #shakra #silksong #embroidery

Another big down! #silksong #embroidery #shakra

Sad and terrifying days when my home city ends up as a discussion on my one my favorite podcasts.

Dude. Shoujo is winning this season!

Tried some more new anime tonight… In the Clear Moonlight Dusk - first episode was perfect and so gorgeously animated. I’m very excited to watch this one cuz I love the manga

I am an absolute badass. I just spent the morning tearing up three layers of stick on tile so we can have a brand new floor in our bathroom, now that our toilet is fixed.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/798775628

Surprising disappointment of the season is trying to dive back into JJK. For a series that started with some of the coolest ideas and execution, these two newest episodes are very dull and boring with basically nothing happening. I love that Yuta is finally a part of the main story, but🧵

Surprising anime watch last night was Tamon’s B-Side where a young woman gets her dream and is now housekeeping for her fav idol. But she also discovers that he’s nothing like his idol self in real life. Hilarious and unique, absolutely gonna keep watching this.

How about a gay romance take on the story of Rapunzel by @amandameuwissen.bsky.social My review for Zel is up and it’s a delight! wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/01/zel-...

In spite of everything, the final proof has arrived and been approved! Time to order copies to fulfill the Kickstarter and prepare for my book launch!!

I absolutely adored this book when I picked it up in high school and took so many lessons from how it portrayed the story of King Arthur from different female perspectives. I used to list it as my favorite book before I learned more about the author. It’s no longer a favorite.

January draft progress, to hold myself accountable. Hunters 3: page 20, 10,712 words Did I write all that today, no, I’m working on a draft I’ve previously poked at. Progress is progress. #writing

Forgot to say that the new Ronin Warriors (Samurai Troopers) is a direct sequel to the old series where humanity has prepared for it to happen again and the old team are hailed as heroes with promo posters and everything. This series has no business being as good as it is. I’m excited!

Happy Bean Counter and Ronin Warriors day!

Don’t forget, I’m still looking for votes as to which old school yaoi anime I should tackle on the blog next month! www.patreon.com/posts/146752...
