So “The Cuffing Game” is absolutely adorable and the perfect YA read for wintery/end of year vibes without being a ✨holiday✨ book! Queer and diverse rep all throughout and just an overall sweet read 💖 (Also yes, I am indeed behind on my 2025 ARCs 😂) #booksky 📚💙 #shinyshrimpreads

Thanks, commentators, for making Skate America unwatchable. No, I can’t enjoy the programs if you keep talking through it like a football game. I’ll tune back into the Grand Prix next weekend when I can watch the ISU feeds again ✌🏼 #gpfigure ⛸️

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

Finally picked up Legends ZA this week so if anyone needs me I will out catching all my Kalos babies, kthxbai. ✌🏼

Started setting up my Reading Journal for 2026 and realized I’ve already got like 25+ e-ARCS to read. Why do I do this to myself? 😂😅😭 #booksky 📚💙

Oops. I read more than I thought in October 😂🎃 ✨ I need everyone to read And the River Drags Her Down and I need it nominated for all the things. So damn good. ✨ Cinder House is an excellent novella! ✨ What Fury Brings is a disaster of white feminine rage #shinyshrimpreads #booksky 📚💙

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Do I play League of Legends? No. Do I look forward to a dramatic and theatrical song released every year for the Worlds anthem? Yes. Now if we could just get another K/DA collaboration, I'll be set 😂 #gamesky

Every time a K-Pop group relaxes something that their initial fan base doesn’t vibe with, I know I’m gonna find something I enjoy from that group. And vice versa. #kpop

*Drag n Drop* RIP Win10. I'm never upgrading 😭

I know (thankfully) Bsky isn’t a big influencer space, but back on IG I used to shout out and spotlight indie bookstores I visited. Do readers over here wanna see/hear about indies? #booksky #indiebookstore

I deserve a medal for walking into a bookstore twice today with a friend and showing restraint BOTH times. Naturally this means when I go to a book fair later this month, I must reward myself with all the books. ✌🏼 #booksky

❤️

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

the bugs are out here finding religion

Today I did the math on how much I’d written of my draft to see what (vague) percentage this would be of a full book. Turns out it’s not as much as I’d feared, which means my beginning isn’t as slow as I’d worried 💖 #firstdraftfall #writingcommunity

Any other writers have journals filled with notes and planning that they just never revisit? Sometimes I really need the paper + pen to organize my thoughts before proceeding, and then I never look back at those notes once I've unraveled the knot and resume writing 😂 #writesky #writingcommunity

A ghost latte color study 👻🩵

September Reading Wrap-Up! Lots of manga, since it was a very busy month at work. ✨Blasted through Girl Crush and I’m loving it so much!! ✨Villain Series is getting exhausting 😅 ✨Also reading a ton of Regression/Isekai romance webtoons ✌🏼💖 #shrinyshrimpreads 📚💙 #booksky #readingwrapup

Ready for Spooky Season but it’s not entirely feeling like fall yet, so welp time to turn on Hotel Del Luna again. Oh no. What a disaster. Not one of my faves k-dramas. 🌙👻 #kdrama #bringontheghosties

a little will-o-whisker 🐱 #art

I am not ready. We’re still Silksong-ing in this house and now they’re releasing our other Most Anticipated Sequel 😭😭 Plus side is I’ll have two amazing soundtracks in one month now 👏🏼

Ancient Greeks coming up with their Pantheon

Back in a heavy TTRPG mood but with no group, so back to the solo journeys! Started another run of Koriko (with the Magical Sandwich change-up!) and planning on trying Reincarnated as the Unlovable Villainess! #solottrpgs #journaling #iwishiwasamagicalgirl #yesiwillkeepabusingtagsintumblrstyle

My partner requested a quick painting of Hornet for his streaming channel 😘 #artbygemini #fanart #teamcherry #hollowknight #silksong #digitalart

Down at the bottom! It’s a me! Now I’ve gotta actually get some sketches going ✌🏼😂 #digitalart #yearofthehorse

Getting ready for the season 👻🎃

One thing I love about US K-Pop Concert Culture is the freebies. It's a great way to break the ice, talk to other fans, and just be nice humans to each other. I finally gave out my first set of freebies and I'm stupid happy with how they turned out 😭 #viviz #na.v #kpop #girlgroup #theshinyshrimp

Now that concert weekend is over: SILKSONG SILKSONG SILKSONG 🪡🪡🪡 #gamesky #giveusthebugs #giveusthegrubs #teamcherry #moreliketeamhornet

Tfw you finish a book and you’re ready to dive into the sequel… and you didn’t bring it with you. Because you didn’t think you’d finish the prior book while away. 💙📚 #booksky #readerproblems #woeisme #ifailedmyself

*Whistling* Nothing to see here, we just casually updated the #FirstDraftFall page with 2025's schedule #WeeknightWriters

☕️

A little K-Pop fanart today! I like my fandoms more subtle, so these sticker designs are in homage to their music videos. The stickers came out AWESOME and I can't wait to pass them out at the VIVIZ Philly stop this weekend 💖 #kpop #viviz #gfriend #girlgroup #kpopfanart #theshinyshrimp #na.v #buddy

Time for that August Wrap-Up! 📚💙 My highlights: ✨ The God and the Gwisin was everything I wanted from this sequel ✨ Love is a War Song is fantastic and deserved better promo like all the white cowboy romances do ✨ Ain't Burned All the Bright made me cry at work. So thanks. #shinyshrimpreads

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Good morning bluesky remember to take a deep grounding breath ever so often💫💫💫

Before #preDV & #DVPit thought I'd repost some pitching advice(1/7) Here's a simple pitch rubric: [CHARACTER] is/lives [STATUS QUO] until [INCITING INCIDENT]. Now if they don’t [MAIN GOAL] then [CONSEQUENCES]. OR [MAIN MOTIVATION] only problem is [MAIN CONFLICT/HURDLE] e.g. my old 140 char pitch:

KPop Demon Hunters Set: Rumi #art Miniprints now in my store

My Neighbor Demon-Tiger

Does Murphy have a Lesser Known Law that "If you're running late, then you will be stuck behind someone who doesn't know where to find the gas pedal"? Just... curious.

The best thing about original writing - you can make the little people in your world do anything you want, no boundaries. The worst thing about writing - you can make the little people in your world do anything you want, no boundaries.

So very tired #art #comic #sharks

✨️✨️✨️this is a reminder to take a rest and get out of your head✨️✨️✨️

Finally getting my rear in gear and I'm gonna have art ready as freebies at an upcoming concert! 🤩 I got so many sweet gifts from other fans at the ATEEZ concert this summer, so I'm excited to spread the joy for VIVIZ! 💖 #kpop

Please take note that #DVpit is NOT affiliated with anything providing loans or financial services! As of 2025, it is ONLY a bluesky pitch event for unpublished marginalized authors & artists! #booksky #writersky

For a project with hardly a name, but plenty of grief and love 💖 This cozy fantasy Romance is on the back burner, but I do still stir the pot. #writingcommunity #writingromance #moodboard #aesthetic #wip #workinprogress

July flew by since it's my bday month, but still managed some really fun reads! ✨ Always love Nghi Vo's novellas, but CW for famine and cannibalism in A Mouthful of Dust ✨ Absolutely recommend The Last Session for all the D&D lovers. Can't wait for Vol. 2! #shinyshrimpreads #booksky 📚💙

Editing for SURE! Drafting can be like pulling teeth, but I love finessing, rewording, and revising to make passages and the overall story stronger! 👏🏼

Did I find my stylus? No. Did my new one arrive today? YES! Now I charge my tablet so I can start getting the art itches out 🤩 #digitalillustration #digitalart #artistproblems
