Adding ‘choked on Hello Kitty powder’ to this strange day.

Today Windows told me yet again that it will install Windows 11 and my only choice was 'now' or 'tonight, by surprise, when Windows feels like it'. Yet again it installed Windows 11, got to the end, went 'nevermind' and reinstalled Windows 10.

Today I learned again a fundamental truth: People like kobolds.

Okay, you wacky lil chilluns you, I am now fully moved in and writing seems to have resumed. BEHOLD CHAPTER TWO OF THAT BOOK ABOUT THE GOBLIN CYBERPUNK FANTASY NOIR DETECTIVE. www.patreon.com/posts/even-e...

Remember, folks, exposition is for chapter TWO.

The move is done. All of the crazy steps to get here are done. I have a room of my own again. Guess what the first thing to happen was? Yep, my inspiration came back and I had to write. I am tired. I will give it to my loyal alpha reader tonight and post it on Patreon tomorrow.

Bafanada.

I want to thank the criminal in Dwarf Fortress that actually managed to escape with one of my artifacts for bringing it with her when she returned to try to steal something else. I want to thank me for naming her 'KILL ME' so when she showed up again I recognized her.

You should be. That is good stuff.

Also this contains ruiness.bandcamp.com/track/its-ge... which makes me cry every time. My battery is low, and it's getting dark.

Psst @tkingfisher.com Crucial GM information. This is what Otto's Irresistible Dance looks like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn_O...

Never has anyone tried so hard to pretend they're being serious.

In case anyone was unaware, in 1973 an Italian pop singer who spoke no English wrote a song meant to SOUND like English. He was wildly successful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU-w...

No my authoring is not dead! Neither is my Patreon! Things slowed down enough for me to get a little writing done, and I decided I should give my latest inspiration a try and see what people think. As a possible book sample, you don't have to be a member of my Patreon to read it.

Banana for scale (it makes them shiny)

Kerbal Space Program needs to be Kobold Space Program. They act EXACTLY like kobolds.

Beat Widow. If I can conquer my ADHD and focus, I roll through Silksong. If I start twitching, forget it.

Best ghost name.

Dear Pokémon ZA. I have slavishly avoided spoilers. All I know is that Mega Lopunny is a thing and I will make her kick your ass in the tartiest way possible.

Game review: I played Bye Sweet Carole. It is gorgeous, like playing a Don Bluth movie. It is deep and meaningful and serious, about grief, letting go, and women's empowerment in the context of the British Suffragette movement. Warnings: VERY clumsy controls and innocent animal death.

Big 'furry in denial' energy.

This is your reminder that Saxo Grammaticus thought toast was horribly decadent because it was cooked twice, although it was effeminate German sausages that were really ruining Denmark.

Now THAT was a girl who knew how to have the Vapors.

Now that some of you have read the book, this is Candy Glitters' theme song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWiZ...

@baud20xx.bsky.social So. You found me. Don't give me that look. I know who truly leads the snarling jackals suddenly crowding in to follow my account. So be it, but be warned, this account is deliberately 99% writing and nonsense!

It’s a curious thing how you get audiobook readers who are overall fantastic but will not know a word. In this case, thinking ‘emphatic’ is ‘empathic’. That one’s unfortunate because I use ‘emphatic’ a lot.

The audiobook for Skip School, Make Dragons is supposedly fixed and rereleased! I'mma give it another listen before I start shilling.

Hypothesis: Capybaras eat so slowly that they have no choice but to be mellow. They lack he nutrients to operate a fast metabolism and fight-or-flight behavior. Instead they have evolved the unusual defense mechanism of being Friend Shaped.

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY! Disabled caretakee: "Would you pleeease go get me food from Just Opened Breakfast Cafe? I'm so sorry, I can't order ahead, you have to get it there and bring it back!" Me: "For you, suspiciously bunnylike caretakee, I shall do this thing." Accurate picture of caretakee:

Beastieball wants you to know that it is as far from Palworld as it is possible to be while still being in the monster catching genre.

Hey, some of you WEIRDOS have read my new book, right? Are any of the sections scary? How about her transformations? I was going for making the scary sequences believable without scaring the reader. Some of Stella's bodies are really hideous but she rarely sees herself.

It's always beauty OR power. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

I'm rereading the Sector General books. I don't blame the writer, but it always jars me when in one story there's a plot point about a head nurse dropping a knife. I have worked in a medical clinic. RNs do not drop knives. That is a thing that does not happen.

Funny story: Big chain history franchises cut their product with alternate universes and strip out almost all the magical creatures necessary for daily health. Only independent historians like this account give you facts fresh and unprocessed. High quality history is worth the price.

It's PERFECT as a comfortable read. Thank you for having written it.

Omg it's book release day! If you are following my account, you like quirky fiction with what authors politely call a strong narrative voice. Odds are you're into female protagonists having a morally ambiguous good time. You DEFINITELY need a comfort read right now. This. This is what you need.

@tkingfisher.com I blame you.

I was really not anticipating that this new job would have me being in a room with a stranger for about 25 hours a week, or how much that would affect my ability to write. Over the course of the next month it should go down bit by bit to... 2 hours a week. So that will be good!

Finally, a chance to tell someone about The Old Woman With No Teeth, about a Baba Yaga-like figure living in a world where the line between folklore and the mundane just plain does not exist. Cameo by a Betsy Ross/Whistler's Mother-like figure she Does Not Like. podcastle.org/2014/09/11/p...

Comafields

Don't worry about her. She navigates by subtle changes in miasma. The faint patina of disease left on walls by human fingers betrays them. The foulness of contagion in your breath is as clear to her as a bonfire in a field at new moon.

Seriously I can't recommend these books enough. Quirky, goofy superhero flavored fun.

The internet has informed me that if you give your character this energy they instantly become more attractive. So, I give you: Lindsey 4D. Smells like frozen mac and cheese meals-for-one and catnip vapor. #BubsyOC #Bubsy4D

Captain Large and his partner Muskules.

@glitchprod.com When I realized which character was psychotic and hallucinating was definitely a “FUCK YEAH SPARKLE SPARKLE” moment. Wonderful switch from expectations. Also a big fan of TADC’s relationship affirming existentialism. Great stuff lately, guys/gals/other.

IT BE INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY, and my initials be ARRR ARRR ARRRRRR. Plunder the English language, me hearties! Say the words 'booty' and 'treasure chest' and pretend ye mean money! SHIVER YE TIMBERS! Have ye some FUN, scallywags!

What if I'm the kindest demon, something you may not believe in?
