I set my coat upon the ground And when I turn he looks so round. Upon his head I plant a kiss. Does nothing win o'er feline bliss? #cats #cat #catsky #Caturday

#NovemberWorldbuilders #TaintedFaculties No one comes to mind in Cateronian history as a past hero faster than Athella Arim (who defeated her lich queen mother & became the sun/religious founder), Elthwi Agalli (the only one [allegedly] who has slain a senka Domain), & world explorer Taevon.

Grey. Gray looks stupid. Gray can get away as a name but grey is the color, & I'll fight the American-English spellcheck to keep it that way.

Ah, yes. The eternal struggle.

oh yeah ok this is super cool not only did they find a gynandromorph spider, it also turned out to be a new species! 🤯🧪🕷️

If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade. I'll personally walk you through it.

Detox Doodles! This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily! This page is all about owls, who are surprisingly expressive! #art #owls #sketch #DetoxDoodles #inkart #bird

#Bookvember My mom resented being limited in her own reading as a kid, so she let me read whatever as long as it wasn't traumatizing/NC17/etc. This was the right move, I think.

They coulda named it anything else.

Aaaaaaah!!!! Someone bought the Fairy Seasons sampler!!! I'm nervous now. I read it out loud for streaming purposes and know it isn't perfect. BUT I did mention how it isn't perfect. 2nd drafts are never perfect. Or are third... Or fifth drafts... Anyways, I hope they like it!!! shorturl.at/kHJMv

#WritingPrompt #TaintedFaculties None. Enaka has a gun but senka are hard af to kill, & it wouldn't help any of their social/political issues. Tunori, despite having 800 year lifespans, guns, elemental power, supernatural empathy, & healing factors, aren't even OP in their setting.

FYI

One good example of this: J.D. Power awards, the thing you see mentioned in every car dealership commercial. Getting the award costs $250k. A dealership pays this data analytics company $250k and receives their award. You only get the award if you've paid. It's advertising for J.D. Power

Wake up, babe. New horrors from the deep sea just dropped oceancensus.org/press-releas...

ALSO as a member of AuDHD feral wolf childhood: YES, people skills are LEARNED. YES YOU CAN (and yes it's hard but also: having the ability to make small talk and be openly nice to people is a vital skill whether you realize it or not). You start bad at it but you can get better with practice.

#NovemberWorldbuilders #TaintedFaculties I describe senka-infected blood as tar-black, inky-black, but there are beautiful things like the sails of sleek Drasik ships returning from the open sea, the obsidian Rojak Tower that guards the pass to the Sporelands, & the holy Tunori Midnight Blades.

So, as it turns out, driving two hours to the closest Red Lobster for their biscuits CAN temporarily fix my brain.

Quote with your cute spider bois!

I have a poem about this

Lmao, & I thought ✨️Millennials✨️ ruined everything.

Me: [watching Mulan as a child] 🎶BE A MAN🎶 ME: Wait, you can do that?

Revenge is a dish best served as cold cuts. - Klingon Proverb

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

Me @ my spouse and him being like "omg whyyyy."

Do i have any vancouver / lower mainland indie booksellers on here? Would love to chat about putting up a little poster for the boombride campaign in your window.

Problem who only gets their daily liquid from coffee, tea, and soup. Me. I'm the problem.

Haaaaalp! Help me and my fellow Bazaarians reach 50 followers on our individual projects!

I don't know if the spider that crawled out of my pants and onto my waist a couple minutes ago frssh outta the shower was a black widow or a combfoot, but it didn't bite me, so it gets to live under the sink it crawled under. Peace for peace. Just stay out of my clothes! 😭

All right, rude. I thought sleep was supposed to reset all your body and mental issues back to normal factory settings. This continuation of both from yesterday was not the agreement.

They always choose all the worst Christmas music to play on the radio, too. No ancient dirges in minor key, nah. It's all "All I want for Christmas"es and "Santa Baby," ugh. At least give me a "Good King Wenceslas" if you're gonna subject me to this for two months.

As a child both born and raised in Texas, I loved both of these movies, as a matter of fact (although I remember liking Fievel Goes West better). My mom thought they were good, too. Gosh, I haven't watched them in ages. I should show the Mini Me.

#NovemberWorldbuilders #TaintedFaculties Senka spores are white or off-white yellow, & at times could be mistaken for snow if it weren't for it falling in balmy weather. The peaks of the Tathlian mountains & rapids of the upper Aieko River are white. Some phoenix feathers. Both moons. Turak silk.

#Novmemeber Day 6 #TaintedFaculties Book 3 (Musical Taste) is not gonna be a great time for Enaka, but an excellent time for me & the readers.

Day 5 of posting my debut novel for free :) 💙📚 Chapter 5 is up, links lead to chapter 1 for ease of access Substack: open.substack.com/pub/aldendra... Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/aldendrake-a...

Hnngh want to see aurora, don't know if I'll be able to. Maybe I can drive to Vermont tomorrow.

Do what we tell you and we won't abandon you to everlasting torment

Some nights, the air is heavy with traffic noise. Some nights, I feel smothered in my own skin. There's a ghost in my body and he hates it here. There's a wild animal stuffed into a cage where it doesn't belong. How will I get out? How will I get out? How will I get out of this terrible house?

"Ocean's Wisdom" - My boy Kyogre finally got a bit of a face lift, and everybody loves a niche crossover right? 😘 #pokemonart #pokemon #pkmn #abzu #kyogre #art #smallartist

Post an anime you love.

#NovemberWorldbuilders #TaintedFaculties Not *truly* purple, but Enaka's old captain was a white raven with leucistic blue eyes that looked purple in certain light. There are also bioluminescent deep sea serpent species whose inside of the mouth glow purple for communication and hunting.

#Novmemeber Day 5 #TaintedFaculties Okanu Katret will go out of his way & self-sacrifice for a fellow Watcher. His in-group is highly specific, but he's a stalwart believer in the war against the senka. It's too bad that he's a racist POS fanatic otherwise. Gotta throw that man away.

Tried to get a better photo of my #lotr painting. It looks all weird and squiggly in the preview. If you want the higher Res one, sans wiggly lines, it should be available for free here: ko-fi.com/ryezuul/gall...

He decided to perch on my kidneys this morning, so fine: get admired, dumbass. #cats #catsky It’s not #Caturday but any day can be if we wish hard enough.

omg I wasn't built for nothern winters. Growing up w/ about 1-3 months of 40F+ & the rest of the year being closer to the surface of the sun, I can handle heat. But cold makes me cranky, & in the NE US that means the majority of the year. 🥲 I am slowly turning into the Grinch. Or a Batman villain.
