it does not feel real that I just spent a weekend with some of my dearest friends in the world and now I’m just like. laying in my bed with my cats again. I miss when the gay people in my phone weren’t in my phone…..:

Every time I go to PAXU I’m reminded of how much I would love to live in the same city as all my gaming friends so we could play board games and TTRPGs together, in person, all the time

I do not want this weekend to end. I just wanna spend time with my friends forever.

it is crazy to be in a room of like eleven people who are all on the same wavelength like. just constantly going nonstop I never want to stop talking to them I feel insane in a good way

it is so unfathomably hard to focus on anything but the fact that I’m going to see my friends for the first time in a couple of days??? like what do you mean I have to finish up work today and tomorrow before I go???

I can’t believe that it’s now less than a week until I’ll be at PAXU! I’m so excited to see my friends and play games!

i finally updated my dnd character art wall! it added so much beautiful art that i got gifted during art fight this year, and brings me simply. so much joy every single time i look up at it and see all my little guys...

buzzing with excitement what do you MEAN I get to see all my friends in person for the first time next week!!! oh my god????

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence! Share yours too, if you want! Micah loves the forest, and you will too! 🍃

if there’s one thing I’ll do it’s get so excited about everything my friends create

A bit ago, I commissioned art of the two leads from my novelette that I'm still working on, The Witch of the Wood! I'm hoping that I'll be able to publish it sometime next year, but in the meantime, here's the two leads: Cam and Milo! Art by @zestoflemon.bsky.social

my favorite thing about constantly running into stuff is that I’ll just have a random couple bruises on me at any given time

Coming out on March 31st, 2026, The Need for Dandelions is an MM Fantasy Romance about two men forced to work together despite their differences in the face of a crisis! Cover by the amazing @nooskadraws.bsky.social !

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now? The first time I really knew I was queer, I was 10, and I came out to my friends at 12! It was a couple years later that I came out to my parents at 14, and I’m 22 now

hands down a 5 star read for me! it was so fun to read the initial drafts of this and provides feedback, and galen and sasha are such delightful and interesting characters. highly recommend keeping this on your list of new releases to pick up in 2026!! also the art is gorgeous and i love themsomuch

Hello! Sweet & Wild is a queer fantasy romance that’s available now! Links: linktr.ee/alexlarkspur

gotta keep reminding myself “it may not sound fun to you right now, but you know you enjoy it and will enjoy it when you finally start” about my hobbies bc nothing sounds fun right now. but I know I’ll enjoy picking up my friend’s third draft of a book I loved in the first draft. I always do

somethin silly that always makes me think of my mawmaw who passed earlier this year is when I say I’m “catching up on my shows” bc she used to say that about her soap operas for me it’s my comedy shows but it still makes me laugh fondly every time

this has been one of the worst weeks of my life, but I’m looking forward to playing video games with my friends on Tuesday. I miss those guys so much

it’s such a shame you gravitate towards comfort things when you’re having a hard time bc what do you mean I associate twilight, stardew valley, REPO, and Buffy the vampire slayer with the worst times in my life and yet they’re my fav things

without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

I do! Usually I wait until the end of the month and then do a batch of all my reads before I record my reading wrapup - it usually gives me enough time to sit with a book and figure out how to phrase my feelings on it, and it becomes a good reference for when I’m talking about them on my channel

5⭐️ Sweet & Wild by @applesncinnamon.bsky.social has my whole heart and is easily one of my favorite reads of the year! The story had my heart swelling with joy and my eyes tearing up from various emotions i wont say because spoilers 😅 #booksky

new video! features multiple 5 star (or almost 5 star) reads, what a good reading month! youtu.be/SgmOOxqY84c?...

I have been honored with the best compliment in a social deduction game (got killed first because, quote, “she’s too smart, she’s gotta go”)

so incredibly disappointed when i'm having a good time watching a booktuber's video, excited about their new book tracker spreadsheet project, and then get hit with casual endorsement of AI use like. that was so unnecessary and now i'm disappointed

it's here!! i'm so excited to have my hands on it.... it's so beautiful......

Mail came! And it is so, unbelievably cool to have my book on my shelf! I’m going to cry 🥹🐝

I haven’t really posted any of the art I did for art fight here yet! I got back into traditional art this year, and was having a very good time finding my favorite way of making art, and colored pencils + lineart ended up being it! here’s some of my favorite pieces #sharemyattack2025

I just released my debut book, Sweet & Wild this week! It’s a MM Fantasy Romance that’s cozy adjacent, full of magic and nature! Universal Link: books2read.com/u/bzNng9 Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/sweet-wild Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Cover art by @northyme.com #WeeknightWriters

the problem with beta reading draft 2 of a wip from a dear friend is that I notice things and then can’t tell if they’re new or not bc it’s been a while since I read draft 1 😭

I love social deduction games so much it hurts. I am so sad I can’t play them 24/7 that’s so fucked up…… save me blood on the clocktower
